Chapter 32 Let everyone see, I can make you live a good life
After Xu Qingzhi kicked that ‘Struggle’ out of the group, he received a private message, and the message was 99 in a blink of an eye.
She was too lazy to read, and just glanced at the latest message, which was about questioning the quality of her dishes, and replied: "Go for testing and let the data speak for itself."
Struggle: "Okay, you wait!"
Xu Qingzhi ignored it, looked at the row of unread messages in the list, exited WeChat, and turned off the phone.
It's ten o'clock, she's so sleepy, she's going to sleep.
The next day, Xu Fuqiang and Xu Qingzhi drove back to pick vegetables.
As soon as the car entered the village, I met acquaintances one after another.
"Fuqiang, do you want to buy a car?"
Xu Fuqiang stopped the car, found someone a cigarette, and said with a smile, "My daughter bought it."
"Your daughter is really promising. Hey, she's also a BMW, worth hundreds of thousands at least."
"My daughter is just average, and your son is also a capable person outside. He can make a lot of money a year."
"How can my son be as successful as your daughter? When my son gets married, can I borrow your car as the lead driver?"
Xu Fuqiang looked embarrassed. Looking back at Xu Qingzhi's opinion, borrowing a car can be a big or small matter, but basically everyone who buys a car will encounter the same problem.
Xu Qingzhi recognized the other party as an old neighbor from before. Whenever his parents had anything to do, they would always rely on these old neighbors for help. He smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you can tell me when the time comes."
Only then did Uncle Wang see the person in the back seat, "Qingzhi is still at home. I haven't seen you for several days. I thought you went back to Zhoucheng."
"I farm a few acres of land at home and spend time with my parents."
"Nowadays, young people are going out, and there are not many young people in the village. It is rare for you to have such a heart."
Xu Qingzhi smiled.
"Okay, I'm going to the fields to look at the rice. I won't talk about it for now. I'll go back to your house and sit down and chat again."
"Okay, Uncle Wang, please walk slowly."
Xu Fuqiang continued to drive forward.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the fifty-dollar pack of cigarettes and said, "Dad, haven't you quit smoking a long time ago? Why are you carrying cigarettes on your body today?"
"When you drive home after buying a new car for the first time, you will definitely meet some acquaintances, and you are welcome to give them a good cigarette." Xu Fuqiang turned the steering wheel and turned, with happiness written all over his face.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the joy on her father's face, and still remembered that many years ago, her father drove the family to her grandmother's house in a three-wheeler. On the road, she would always encounter a few second-rate people who spoke sarcastically and unpleasantly.
Later, several elementary school classmates of her father's age in the village bought cars, leaving her father alone.
Sometimes those elementary school classmates would hold class reunions in the county town.
Her father was sent back drunk. He was obviously a middle-aged man, but he was still crying like a child in her mother's arms. He said that he had no future and that he had not made a name for himself in so many years. Sometimes even the child's
I have to ask someone to borrow the tuition fees. It’s really useless. I’m sorry for the child, I’m sorry for her mother, I’m sorry for his parents, I’m sorry for her mother’s parents, and I’m saying I’m sorry to all eighteen generations of my ancestors.
Xu Qingzhi has lived in three worlds for more than five hundred years, but those memories of his childhood appear in his mind as vividly as if they were reappearing yesterday.
She was only 12 years old at that time and didn't understand much of the adult world.
The old house was a dilapidated brick building. She stood under the shrine, holding on to the legs of the square wooden table. She looked at her father's red face and listened to him shouting: "Yanmei, Yanmei, wait for me."
When I get rich in the future, I will buy a BMW and let everyone see that I can make you live a good life."
Her mother patted his back and said, "Okay, okay."
Xu Qingzhi heard the crackling sound of firecrackers and was pulled away from his memories.
She looked at the fork in the road leading to her family's courtyard and saw someone setting off firecrackers.
In the village, the longer the firecrackers are, the more important things are.
The sound of firecrackers went off for a long time, and smoke was everywhere. Her father was afraid of damaging the car, so he waited for the firecrackers to finish setting off before slowly driving over.
Behind the green smoke, an old man dressed in simple clothes stood, holding a red envelope in his hand and walking to the driver's window.
"Fuqiang, today you are driving back for the first time. I will give you a red envelope, which means that you will drive safely in the future."
It’s Xu Qingzhi’s grandfather Xu Dongru.
"Grandpa, I also want a red envelope." Xu Qingzhi shouted and stretched out his hand to ask for it.
Xu Dongru took out another red envelope from his pocket, with a kind smile on his face that only the older generation would have when looking at their younger generation, coaxing a child: "Your dad has it, of course you have it too."
Xu Qingzhi happily took the red envelope and opened the car door, "Grandpa, come on, let's go home first."
"It's only such a small distance, so I won't get on. You guys drive the car back and I'll walk over." Xu Dongru patted the dust on his body, turned around and left.
Xu Qingzhi always knew that her grandfather was a stubborn person, so there was no point in trying, so she had to close the car door and her father drove back.
Many people came to watch the fun at Yuanba Dam. As soon as Xu Fuqiang got out of the car, those people said kind words and auspicious words.
Xu Qingzhi took the candies and snacks he had bought out of the car, then took chairs and plates and set them outside, and poured some tea.
A few days ago, there were rumors in the village that Xu Qingzhi was dumped by a man in a big city. She was preparing for pregnancy at home, could not survive in the city, and came back to look for a partner when she was older.
Now they are all happily praising Xu Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, if you ask me, you are the most capable of the young people in our village. You can even buy a car for your father."
Xu Qingzhi smiled, "A little money."
She is not pretending, there is no need to explain clearly to outsiders. The folk customs in the village are mostly simple, but there are some talkative women who like to spread rumors everywhere when they have nothing to do.
It just so happened that Xu Qingzhi had a good ear, so when he came back to plant vegetables, he would always hear some very outrageous rumors, which got worse and worse.
To put it bluntly, many people like to step on both sides if their families don’t have enough money.
The criterion for judging whether one has money in the village is whether the family has a car and whether it is an expensive car.
Anyone who has bought a good car has no confidence to spread rumors behind his back, and the tone of his mouth becomes, eh, their family is really rich now.
Aunt Xia's eyes were filled with curiosity and she said: "This looks like a BMW, Qingzhi, can you let me sit down in it later? I'll introduce you to someone."
Xu Dongru has already walked over, "You are still young, so you are in a hurry to find a partner. Go, go, go, don't tell your children these things."
Xu Dongru is over seventy years old. He is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor and an elder in the village. These aunts will not take the initiative to get into trouble with him and disperse one after another.
Aunt Xia just came to join in the fun. With her sharp eyes, she recognized that the candies on the plate sold for fifty-nine yuan a pound in the supermarket. She grabbed a large handful and put it in her pocket, and then took out another handful.
When people ignored her, she smiled and said to the person next to her: "School is over today on Friday, and my son is back, so I just want to give him some candy." Then she left.
There are only a few candies left on the plate full of candies.
Xu Qingzhi went into the house to get some candies and came back to add more. Aunt Zhou on the side was a little unhappy and told Xu Qingzhi: "Aunt Xia always likes to take advantage of everything."
Aunt Zhou has a good relationship with her mother. They used to go to the mountains together to pick Chinese medicinal materials.
Xu Qingzhi smiled, grabbed two handfuls and put them into Aunt Zhou's pocket, "You should also bring some for the child."
"That won't work, that won't work, these candies are expensive, I'll just take two." Aunt Zhou was about to take it out.
Xu Qingzhi held her down and said, "Aunt Zhou, why are you being polite to me? If you don't keep it, I won't accept the snacks you bring me when I go to your house in the future."
In Aunt Zhou's eyes, Xu Qingzhi is still a child, so she won't be angry after hearing this, "Okay, then Auntie will take care of it. Hey, Qingzhi, listen to your mother, you have to farm at home and don't go back."
We are in the prefecture, when do you plan to sell these vegetables at the market? I will also buy some then."
Xu Qingzhi said: "These vegetables are marketable, so I won't go to the market to sell them."
Aunt Zhou was a little surprised, but considering that Qingzhi had acted in dramas before, she would definitely have no worries about sales. But after all, it was someone else's business, so asking more would have overturned it, so she nodded, "That's good, that's good, you can be at home
Accompanying your parents will make your mother happy."
