After the entire network was blackmailed, she returned to the countryside to retire Chapter 33 You were only so tall when you planted this persimmon tree
Chapter 33 You were only so tall when you planted this persimmon tree
Everyone just joined in the fun for a while, and then dispersed soon after.
The news of buying a car was accidentally brought up by Xu Fuqiang when he was talking to his uncle on the phone last night. It happened that my grandpa was also there, so he learned about the car buying. He stayed there today and set off firecrackers when he saw the new car.
Everyone in the village who buys a new car is the same. When they drive home for the first time, they set off firecrackers to celebrate, and then seal a red envelope to symbolize good luck.
There have been jokes in the past where someone drove back and set off firecrackers, but they were just passing cars.
At that moment, Xu Fuqiang did not forget the business of coming back. He packed up the chairs and kept saying: "We have to pick vegetables quickly. We will send them out today so that others can receive the vegetables tomorrow."
Xu Qingzhi put the remaining snacks on the plate into bags.
Xu Dongru asked her quietly from the side: "Really not going back to Zhoucheng?"
"Well, I won't go back. Our Taoshui Village is so nice. It has good mountains, water, and good air. I can just grow vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks at home, which is enough for me to live on." Xu Qingzhi said.
Xu Dongru was like an old child, whispering angrily: "I've been back for so long, and I haven't seen you go to Grandpa's house to sit for a while."
"Did grandpa buy me snacks? If there are no snacks at home, I won't go. It's two or three miles away, and it's very hot while walking." Xu Qingzhi said this deliberately to tease him.
The old man's face changed and he snorted, "Whether you want to go or not, I won't welcome you. Grandpa has received a lot of cans of biscuits from others. If you don't go, the rats will eat them all."
"That's not possible. After we finish picking vegetables and ask dad to take you back, I will stop by your place and eat all the food."
The old man had a smile on his face, and the granddaughter in his eyes seemed to have always looked like a little girl. "Every time you go to my place, it will be like bandits entering the village. Good guy, if your grandma is still here, she will inevitably say something to you."
She looks like a girl."
"Grandma won't talk about me, it's you who will."
"Yes, your grandma is the best at spoiling you. In our old Xu family, you and your brother were the youngest ones studying at that time. Your grandma and I didn't hide all the good things for you and your brother."
The old man kept mumbling, "It would be great if your grandma was still here. A few days ago, I dreamed that your grandma asked me if you had been admitted to a good university. I said there was still one year before the exam."<
/p>
When people face the sorrow of life and death, words of comfort are the most pale.
Therefore, Xu Qingzhi said softly: "As stupid as my brother is, there is no guarantee whether he will pass the exam or not."
"You, you..." the old man laughed angrily.
Xu Fuqiang had already changed his clothes and walked out. He drove his new car home for the first time today. He specially wore new clothes, but they were not convenient for work. He waved, "Dad, please sit down for a while, Qingzhi and I will go pick it up."
Dishes."
"My old bones can still work, so I'll pick them for you."
"Grandpa, just sit down while my dad and I pick it." Xu Qingzhi refused.
Falling is the most taboo thing for old people. Back then, her grandmother went to the field to pick cucumbers and fell. She punctured the blood vessels in her hands and injured her ribs. After lying in bed for a year, she never got up again.
Died of cancer.
"I can pick it, don't worry. I go to the mountain temple to worship the Bodhisattva on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. I can walk up and down dozens of steps." The old man is really stubborn, just because he refuses to follow me even if he lives or lives.
My two sons live together, but they insist on living alone, and it is obvious that they refuse to listen to anyone’s advice.
Xu Qingzhi couldn't stop him. Knowing that he was in good health, he could only respond, "Okay, then watch the road and be careful."
Three people can pick vegetables much faster than two people.
Xu Dongru has been farming at home all year round. Even though he is over 70 years old, his body is still upright and very strong. He has a character that cannot sit still and likes to walk around. When picking vegetables, his movements are better than Xu Fuqiang.
Clean.
In a short time, the three people had picked dozens of kilograms of vegetables.
Cucumbers and tomatoes hang from the branches and are naturally very clean. Xu Qingzhi separated them according to the weight required by each family.
Xu Fuqiang was there cleaning the yellow mud on the ends of the green vegetables. After all, at two hundred yuan a pound, it is difficult to let people get dirty vegetables.
When buying vegetables, the order is always ten kilograms, but vegetables will lose water, so Xu Qingzhi will put more when packing, and the actual amount will be a few taels more than ten kilograms.
The most taboo thing about selling vegetables is falling off the scale. It’s fine if it’s a bit expensive, but if it’s under-scaled, people buying vegetables will feel cheated and will definitely not buy them again next time.
Xu Fuqiang looked at the few plastic bags at home and frowned, "Qingzhi, I always think that those people we sell to should package it better. In case more and more people buy these plastic bags later,
I’m afraid I’ll be criticized.”
"Okay, I'll buy a batch of hard-shell cartons online." Xu Qingzhi agreed quickly. She simply felt that finding plastic bags every time was as difficult as finding treasures at home. It was too troublesome. After all, it was express delivery and well packaged.
A little, and the loss on the road will be smaller.
The three people prepared the dishes, packed them up, and put them all in the trunk of the car.
The trunk of this car is very large, and it is not a problem to store dozens of kilograms of vegetables.
Xu Fuqiang went to drive, and Xu Qingzhi opened the right door, "Grandpa, you sit here, I'll go over there."
"I won't sit. It's only a few miles away. I'll walk back in a while. This car may not be as fast as my feet." Xu Dongru turned around to leave.
Xu Qingzhi persuaded him, "You may not have hot wheels under your feet. Get in the car quickly, otherwise I will be angry and ignore you."
Xu Dongru hesitated and got into the car awkwardly.
Xu Qingzhi got up from the left, closed the door, and the car drove forward.
The old man sat up and muttered: "I just picked vegetables and my feet and body are dirty. Don't damage the new car."
"My dad and I also picked vegetables. What's dirty? If you don't have thorns on your body, you won't damage the car."
"I am an old man, different from you."
"We are all human beings, nothing is the same."
"You stupid guy, I won't listen to you."
In the first round, grandpa was completely defeated.
Xu Fuqiang laughed out loud, his father was such a stubborn thing, he had to be cured by lightness of mind.
The car drove for a while, drove uphill, turned again, and arrived at grandpa's house.
Xu Qingzhi got out of the car first and pushed open the wooden door of the yard. A sense of familiarity came over him. What came into view were two bluestone paths. Two old brick houses with only one floor were adjacent to each other. On the left was Grandpa's house and on the right.
It is the old house of Xu Qingzhi’s family, which is now uninhabited.
There is a large and lush old persimmon tree next to the yard, with light yellow flowers blooming all over the tree.
The persimmon tree outside her house was grafted from this old persimmon tree.
Xu Dongru came over and saw Xu Qingzhi looking at the persimmon tree, gesturing with his hands in mid-air, and said: "When I planted this persimmon tree, you were only so tall. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you are already taller than grandpa."
