As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw my mother bathing Diudiu, scolding her while she was washing her, just like when I went out to have fun when I was a child and was dragged back by her.
I parked the car, got out of the car, walked to the door of the yard, and shouted to my mother: "Mom, why are you scolding the dog?"
Hearing my voice, my mother immediately raised her head and looked at me in surprise.
"Afeng, why are you back?"
"Woof woof" Diudiu also yelled at me.
"Come back and do some errands."
I said as I walked into the yard.
As soon as he saw the mud all over his body, he immediately asked, "Mom, what's wrong with Diidu? Why is there so much mud on her body?"
My mother tugged Diu Diu's ears again and complained: "This dog went crazy for some reason early this morning. He chased hares all over the hillside, and then I caught him."
My mother said and scolded Diudiu: "If you run around again, I will stew you and eat you."
Diudiu is a very smart dog. He seemed to understand my mother's words. He quickly clamped his tail and grunted as if he said he would never dare again.
My mother then raised her head and asked me, "What are you doing when you come back? Have you finished it?"
"It's over. Secretary Chen in our town asked me to find a way to sell the town's products."
"Oh, this matter. Recently, the villagers have been making a fuss about this matter, saying that the government does not deal with current affairs. At first, it only thought about how to collect the country's money. Now the fruit is ripe and rotting in the ground."
As she spoke, my mother sighed: "Hey Ah Feng! This is not a good job. If you don't do it well, you will be scolded."
I found a chair and sat down next to my mother, and said to her: "Mom, I'm not doing this to make money or anything, I just want to help my hometown, and I have the ability to sell all the products."
"That's good, that's good, but don't force yourself. We have a lot of salespeople here, but it is said that none of them have been able to win."
"What's wrong? Are the products in our town bad?"
"No, it's because the quantity is too large and the products are too complicated, so we can only sell them in retail."
I smiled and said, "Don't tell me, the solution I'm thinking of is retail."
"But what about retail? There are so many."
"I have a solution, mom. Let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about you? How is your health lately?"
"I'm fine."
"Don't lie to me! Or come with me to the county hospital for a check-up this afternoon."
My mother waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm in good health, I don't have to worry about it anymore."
I put my hand on my mother's shoulder and said warmly: "Mom, my biggest wish now is that you are healthy. If you have anything, you must tell me. After all, you are alone at home, and I don't trust you."
.”
"Who told you I was alone?"
"What? Have you found a stepfather for me?"
My mother immediately rolled her eyes at me and said, "What are you talking about, you silly boy? I mean there are so many neighbors and we are together every day. Don't they all know what I have?"
"Can that be the same?"
"It's the same, oh, I'm fine anyway, don't worry. Just do your job well, solve the problem for Lanlan as soon as possible, and let mom have a grandson. That's the business."
Speaking of An Lan, I started to have a headache again, because I really can't do anything about her.
After sighing, I asked my mother: "Mom, are you sure about An Lan?"
My mother looked at me strangely again and asked seriously: "Are you seeing someone outside?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "That's unfair! I just want to know what you think."
"Yes, I have identified Lanlan. She is a nice person and has a kind heart, and I know she is good to you. When she wanted to learn to knit a sweater for you, you didn't know that her hands were pricked by needles several times. She just insisted
Didn't give up."
Hearing my mother say these things about An Lan, I felt sad in my heart.
An Lan is such a person. She doesn't like to express her inner thoughts, but she always pays silently behind the scenes.
But now that she is in jail, I have no choice but to do anything. This is what makes me most painful.
When there was silence, my mother asked me again: "Afeng, have you eaten? If not, Mom will make it for you."
"Eat, I ate, mom. I'm leaving soon. I just wanted to come back and see you."
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"The more you say that, the more worried I am."
"Okay, then I won't say anything."
I shook my head helplessly. I knew my mother didn't want to burden me. She had always been like this.
But I see that she still looks pretty good and is in better spirits than before. It seems that only in my hometown can my mother live in peace of mind.
Their generation is actually used to the rural lifestyle, but if they go to the city, they are still not used to it.
I stayed with my mother at home for more than an hour, and it was time for me to leave. There was still a five- or six-hour drive, and it was already evening when I got back.
Before I left, my mother forced me to catch an old hen, killed the chicken and put it in a bag for me. She also put some local eggs in a big bag for me.
Every time she came back, she gave me everything she had, as if she was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat outside.
It’s true that you can’t eat this kind of authentic local chicken and eggs outside, so I really couldn’t refuse them, so I had to accept them all.
I spent most of the day in the car. It took me six hours to come back, and another six hours to go back, so I was in the car for a full twelve hours.
It was already 9:30 in the evening when I returned to Chengdu. After driving tiredly, I was in no mood to do anything. After washing, I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day is the weekend. Although I don't have to go to the company, I still work at home.
There is still a lot of backlogged work, leaving me no time to do anything else.
But being busy in this sense is what I enjoy.
The morning passed quickly, until I received a call from Huang Yong at noon. He told me that he had passed away today.
Even though there is still a lot of work to be done, I still want to go to my friend’s birthday.
After agreeing, I drove to the cake shop and bought a cake, and then went to the residence of Huang Yong and Li Feng.
They live together now. There is actually a dormitory at the logistics company, but they found it inconvenient, so they rented a small two-bedroom house outside.
It's not a very nice community, this is just a resettlement housing community, so the environment goes without saying much.
After parking the car in the community, I carried the cake to their residence and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened.
Li Feng stood at the door and smiled at me: "Brother, you are here."
I walked in with a smile. This was my first time coming to their residence, so I looked around the room.
The decoration of the room is very simple, but the two grown men tidy it up quite neatly.
Huang Yong was busy in the kitchen. When he knew I was coming, he came out to say hello to me.
After I put the cake on the table, I asked, "Are you two alone?"
"What if?" Li Feng replied.
"I thought there were a lot of people."
"No, we know you from here."
Huang Yong's voice came from the kitchen: "Brother Feng, please sit down for a while, you will be fine soon."
"Do you need help?"
"It's okay, it'll be fine."
I still went to the kitchen to see if there was anything I could do to help, even if it was to pass on the dishes or something.
But Li Feng ran over and said to me: "Brother Feng, don't move. Just go and sit down. I'll do it."
