The next morning, Ah Hu drove to the development zone, said goodbye to his mother, and then returned to the provincial capital.
Before going back, he specifically told Ah Hu's mother that she wanted to recognize Cheng Muhai as her godfather and asked her if she needed any preparations.
"No need." Ahu's mother smiled and said, "Find a good day, kowtow to him, support him, and then change her words. These are all false, and the most important thing is to help you respect the elderly in the future."
"That's!" Ah Hu smiled.
Ahu said goodbye to Cheng Muhai, packed the snacks made by his mother, and then drove to the provincial capital.
There was still snow on the road, and the road surface was very slippery. Ah Hu didn't dare to drive too fast, so he drove slowly and slowly.
Even if I go out early, I don’t have to drive fast on the way until after 3 pm.
Today is not a weekend, and Cheng Tianfang cannot leave school, so she didn't come.
Ah Hu cooked a little hot water, and saw that the surroundings were cleaned and cleaned up in an orderly manner. He guessed that Cheng Tianfang had come to help clean up two days ago.
Although he is not lazy, he is not as good as hers for such subtle things.
He drank water and saw that there were no customers outside and the weather was very cold, so he only opened half of the door.
"Brother Huzi! Are you there?"
Someone was shouting outside - it was a familiar female voice!
Ah Hu quickly stood up and poked his head out.
"Oh! So it's Sister Hong! You're here to get the goods again? How's your business recently? Come in and sit down!"
Sister Hong was still as fat as ever, her white and fat face was shaved by the north as if she had blushed.
"It's snowing heavily, and more people are going to the department store. The weather is cold these days, and sweaters and coats are so easy to sell! I'm urging me to come over again. Unfortunately, there are not many goods here, so nothing is good.
choose."
She sat on the small chair, and the wooden chair made a squeaking sound, obviously suffering a little too much.
"I came here the day before yesterday and found that you were locked tightly here. I asked the next door and said, "You have gone back to your hometown Rongcheng. What? Is there something wrong at home?"
"There is a happy event! My cousin is getting married!" Ah Hu smiled and poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her, "It's just cooked and a little hot, wait a moment before drinking."
Sister Hong nodded and smiled, "Your cousin is married, are you still a bachelor? Is it embarrassing to lose it?"
"Don't lose it!" Ah Hu replied with a smile: "My cousin got married and got married, and I'll be happy for him. When my marriage comes, I'll get married. Now it's just that the fate has not arrived yet. It's not embarrassing, and there's nothing to lose."
"Hahaha!" Sister Hong laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite open-minded! Not bad! You have to do this. If you blame the world all day long, it would be meaningless."
Ah Hu has known her for almost a year. She is always a cheerful person and has no scruples when chatting.
"Sister Hong, you should be almost forty, right?"
"It's forty-three." Sister Hong narrowed her eyes and sighed: "In a blink of an eye, she is in her forty or fifty years old. Life... is passing too fast! When I was a child, my family was so poor that I couldn't bear it. I always waited every day. I waited before dawn.
At dawn, I could have a few bites of porridge, and occasionally I could not eat a piece of sweet potato skin until the evening. At that time, I always felt that life was too slow. When I was young, my useless husband only knew how to do odd jobs.
, Several children are still young, and everyone can only eat 50% full per meal. At that time, I also felt that time was difficult to endure."
Ah Hu is also a person who has grown up with hardships and understands the pain.
"Yes! I'm too hungry, my hands and feet are weak and I don't have the strength. I hope three meals will arrive soon every day and I can have something delicious."
Sister Hong smiled softly and explained: "Later, when my child was studying, I went everywhere to set up stalls to make some money. I went out before dawn, and ate a cold steamed bun outside at noon. If there is a well on the roadside, I will drink some well water.
It would be fine if you don’t. When you go home at night, if you earn more, add two eggs to the children, and each person will share a half. Looking at the children’s happy smile, I feel that it’s worth it to be tired or hard.”
Ah Hu smiled obscenely, "My mother is the same. I have anything delicious and nutritious at home, so I can leave it to me. I went to the river to catch fish when I was in my teens. When I caught the first fish and took it home, I
Mom cried and laughed…”
Sister Hong narrowed her eyes and said, "My children are old, the oldest is already twenty-three years old, and they were married last year. Now the family is financially good, and every meal has vegetables and meat. You don't have to count the days to see how you can
I can’t eat meat anymore. Finally I got through it and had a good life.”
Ah Hu couldn't help asking: "You're making a lot of money now, right?"
"Occasionally more, sometimes less." Sister Hong explained: "If the goods you get are good, the quality will be good, the department store will pack all the goods for you. If not, just part of them. I have to wholesale the rest to the store, and occasionally I will continue to do so.
I have to lose a little."
Ah Hu nodded in understanding, "Yes, if the amount is large, you may earn more."
Sister Hong smiled bitterly: "I also want to be bigger, but I don't have that much energy. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby last month, so I still have to help take care of the baby. I make money by quantity, just a little bit of small profit.
”
"It's a good thing," said Ah Hu: "A part of your lover's help, plus the children's income, the family's economy will improve."
Sister Hong laughed and said, "Since I started this business, my family's financial situation has improved a lot. The children have read some books, not many, and they each found a unit to work. It's not a big fortune, but
The income is quite stable.”
Ah Hu gave a thumbs up and said, "That's great!"
Sister Hong suddenly remembered something and whispered: "Brother Huzi, please introduce you to a partner. My dear girl, thirty years old, teaches in a high school in the center of the city. She is just a little fat, and the rest are all
Thumbs up!"
Ah Hu has been introduced too much by others, and he is no longer shy and embarrassed. He said openly: "Thank you! But... a girl is not married in her thirties. She must be very picky. She should not look down on me."
"Oh..." Sister Hong shook her head and sighed: "This sentence is too right! She is just too picky! I have many brothers and sisters in my family, and my family is too poor, and I died three younger brothers and sisters. Until then, the family was in a little better condition.
My mother gave birth to the youngest sister. The family situation was getting better, and my parents loved the youngest, so they sent her to school. She was also a smart person with good grades in school! Later, she became more and more advanced, and it happened that she was going to be
After the college entrance examination was opened, she even got into university for three years.”
Ah Hu nodded, but couldn't refuse, so he had to pretend to be serious and continue listening.
Sister Hong smiled and explained: "She is very successful. After graduation, she works in the best key middle school in the provincial capital. She has good teaching grades and good looks. At that time, a lot of people were competing to marry her. There was a mayor who once pursued her.
She also graduated from college and has also been abroad. She disliked her shortness and refused. Her high vision made my parents both have a headache!"
"I said everything, she doesn't like me." Ah Hu smiled.
Sister Hong curled her lips and said, "After the New Year, she will be thirty-one. I don't know why, she has gained a lot in the past two years and is not as good as before. Now she is all about her.
If you are married or widowed, those who are good at conditions will look down on her at all! If she doesn't marry, would she still want to be an old lady?! You wait, I will take you to see her when I turn back!"
"No, no, no!" Ahu stopped and smiled: "I have studied a little bit of professional skills and haven't even attended high school. My unit is just a transportation brigade, not a major position, I really can't afford your sister like this.
