Slowly, in addition to children, adults also started catching the monkeys in groups.
Even Yingzi and Jin Laoer came to the orchard to touch them at night.
Aunt Jin and Old Man Jin are still following behind.
Why is this all happening?
Everyone is saying that if three cicadas and monkeys carry the nutrition of an egg, is that okay? If the eggs are reluctant to be given to children, how can the cicadas be reluctant to give them to children?
Arrest them. Many people were arrested, and slowly, some were taken to the market to sell them.
Not to mention, there are actually people who specifically collect them.
After processing, pickle it with salt, thread it with iron skewers, make a wire rack for barbecue, and a delicious barbecue will come out. It is not only sold at the factory gate here, but gradually, even in the county.
.
Catching monkeys is not only a side activity to coax children to improve their lives, but has also become a serious business to generate income.
Often adults, children and the whole family go into battle together. Some people don't stop until one or two o'clock in the morning. The older children can still hold on, but the younger ones can't. They promised to do it when they came, but the result is that after ten
I started humming as soon as I clicked on it, making me very sleepy. I pestered an adult to carry it on my back, but I fell asleep while carrying it on my back.
After carrying the small one and the big one, an adult has to go back home to take the child to bed.
The rest continue to fight. Some of the cicada monkeys that have been retrieved have already shed their shells. Seeing this, they cannot be put together with other ones that have not transformed. They must be placed in a separate bucket with salt water.
If it is left alive, it will still be tender and tender in color, otherwise the tender flesh will turn into a black hard shell before it gets home, turning it into a cicada.
This kind of metamorphosis is not something that people like to have after receiving it. But picking it out does not prevent them from eating it at home.
At Ding Aimin's house next door, all the crops were gone, and he worked all night long looking for this thing. Sitting at the door at night, he even boasted to Fourth Master and Jin Laoer, "I can sell it for more than one yuan a night, how much will I earn in a month? It's no better than that."
The wages are poor." Then he looked down upon small civil servants like Fourth Master: "How much do you earn per month? Are you forty?"
But dear neighbor, this thing is seasonal, it will be gone after that, we have to see you next year.
Fourth Master is one of those people who eats fast for one day as a monk. He will never starve to death.
Liu Bao, who was enjoying the cool weather together, said to him: "How can you survive a year on more than thirty yuan?"
Ding Aimin loved it, people said: "That's it for this year, but I have thought about it. I will get more in this quarter next year than they do in the whole year."
How can you be so sure?
The man told him his plan, "I'm going to plant cicadas..." Just when everyone was about to laugh, he said, "Don't think you can just plant crops. Let me tell you, you saw the branches sucked dry by the cicadas."
No? That thing is full of cicada eggs. Then cut it out, bury it in the ground, and wait. Next year it will be all over the ground, just go and pick it up at night. There is no need to add fertilizer or water the ground, and there is no investment.
.If you like weeds, let them grow. Just know that the monkeys will crawl out to climb higher. This is a good way to save time, effort and cost. Think about how much income you will have in that day, even if you are thirty, you can't stop it.
.More than a thousand yuan a month is equivalent to their salary for two years..."
After thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong listened to this as a joke. After all, who had the brains to plant such a thing? If you plant it, it will not be harvested next year. It will take three years in the ground before it will come out. If you really want to do this, it will take one year.
If you don’t plant crops, it’s really all in vain.
Who knew that two days later, they heard that the third child was going to plant this thing in the ground, and the two of them became uneasy.
I told him in the past that this thing is really not going to work. This is not how it was done. You won’t be able to harvest if you keep planting like this. Don’t delay the farming season. Just plant what you need. I also asked him to talk to others and publicize it. This thing is really not reliable.
Spectrum.
Besides, even if they can be grown, when there are more, who will sell them to?
Who can eat this thing?
The Fourth Master talked about this matter in the commune again, wrote special promotional materials, distributed them to the villages, and posted publicity materials.
But money touches people's hearts. There are still more people who are hesitant to believe it. Then how do you know so clearly that cicada monkeys grow underground?
Although I'm not like some lazy people who don't plant anything in the field but just plant cicada monkeys. But I still planted this thing next to the crops, just in case it works.
Many people asked Jin Lao Er: "Cut out the dry branches from your orchard for us..."
Jin Laoer thought to himself, how can I have the time? He simply said: "I'm also burying them in the garden. I don't have enough here."
Those people laughed: "The fourth child in your family said that stuff is not good, but you are still here planting it for others..."
Jin Laoer laughed: "Let's try it. Anyway, it's just idle time..."
After that, more people are willing to try growing one.
Jin Laoer said to Fourth Master: "Fuck the ball! There are not many who really don't plant anything but that stuff. They are just planting a little bit in the field. If it doesn't grow, they will give up."
No matter what the ball goes, what else can be done?
Autumn is here, and the orchards are bearing fruit for the second year. The taste of the fruit is much better than last year. Nowadays, there are less fruits. Not every village used to have a large orchard, dozens of acres. There are all kinds of fruit trees. That was the early days of rural areas.
The product of development. Nowadays, the trees are old and the fruits are small. In addition, there are problems with varieties and poor management. Although some people want the fruits when they come out, they are all taken by people in the village to exchange for some coarse grains for the children to eat.
The Jin family's is often in short supply. Boxes and boxes are sold, and they are all from public institutions. Some have benefits set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some are for gifts. The fourth master picked up the best ones.
After buying three jars, I saved three more jars for the second child’s family and asked the third child to take them. The third child only picked the ones that were not very good-looking and had a little rust on them. They were not beautiful in appearance, but they did not affect the taste. The boss
I got some in a hurry, and I heard that I gave half of it to my father-in-law. I didn’t get much from my father-in-law, but I heard that he sold it after changing hands, and the price was still high.
Seeing that there are people selling orchards here for money, many people think that this orchard may be something they can do.
But this is just an idea in my mind. The key is that no one dares to do this. Why? Once a fruit tree is planted, it will not bear fruit for three or four years. You have to invest in it every year, but there is no harvest. If you manage it well,
You can bear fruit in the third year, but the quantity and quality are not good. If you don't manage it well, you will be able to make some money back in the fourth year. What has the family been eating and drinking in the past few years?
Many people have asked, but no one dares to do this.
However, a few people came over and asked Lin Yutong, "Can we pay for the feed on credit first? After the pigs are raised and put out of the pen, we will pay for the feed."
It's like borrowing a chicken to lay an egg.
If this operation is carried out twenty years later, it will probably work. After all, the competition was fierce at that time, and the feed was also competing in the market. But now this feed factory is regarded as the only business. The supply exceeds the demand, and the orders are already there.
It will be postponed to the year after next. Do you think this opening can be opened under such circumstances?
There are so many families in the village. Whose family should we give it to or not?
However, since the feed is produced locally, it would really be unjustifiable if it did not benefit the local people.
What to do?
The fourth master said: Let’s do it this way. Feed cannot be owed on credit, but we can exchange it for something.
What? It’s the raw material for making pig feed.
There is not enough local food for this thing, but you can go to the grain-producing areas and buy it yourself. Or you can exchange it with others for our locally produced cotton. In exchange, you can make a price difference and send this thing to the feed factory.
, it can be converted into money, it can be converted into feed, it can be half money and half feed. Whatever is convenient for you.
Not to mention, this is really the way to go.
Nowadays, not many people grow corn in the late season, and most of them eat wheat. All the fields grown in the late season are cotton. Selling the cotton to the cotton station is actually the same as taking the cotton to other places to exchange for food, and then sell it when you come back.
To feed mills, this transfer is money.
The price difference alone is enough to exchange for feed.
There are quite a few people who know how to settle accounts, and the more they calculate, the more capable they are of doing this. One or two of them have spread the word.
Then it became lively here at night. They were all young men who worked together in the same village. Even if the relationship was not close, they were still familiar. That is to say, the fourth master is now an 'official'. In the eyes of many people, this
There's a distance now. I feel like there's nothing left to talk about.
But things are different now. Now there is a new common topic. We are discussing where to buy, how to buy, and the price is right. Groups of people are talking about the same topic.
Even Qing Ning knows that a pound of lint cotton can be exchanged for more than half a bag of corn in the north, so what?
So, autumn has entered, and the whole Taiping Town is extremely busy. Those looking for piglets are looking for piglets. Now the price of piglets has increased. If you encounter them, get them back as soon as possible. Use your own wheat bran and other things, and exchange them first.
They ordered some feed and ate it with pig grass. Then the women were busy picking cotton to dry and then take it to someone to play, while the men went out with the cotton to exchange for food.
Not all bicycles are available, not many people can afford them. Those who have bicycles ride them, and carry a pump on the back of the car in case they run out of gas on the way. I go out with a bag of cotton, and I almost have to push it when I come back.
I came back with my bicycle, and I couldn't ride it even if I tied a lot of food to the back of the bicycle. Those who didn't have bicycles just relied on one pair of legs to pull a bicycle, and fathers and sons, brothers, friends, and neighbors walked together. People who had never been out were outside.
People walking around in the streets say that people who leave their hometowns are cheap because they are afraid of being bullied or harassed by local gangsters. There are also coats and quilts on the carriages. If you can't walk in a place in a day, you have to carry them wherever you go in the wilderness at night.
Where did you sleep?
Once you go out, it will take four to five days or seven to eight days to come back.
But this time when I came back, I went to the feed factory to exchange money and feed. Then I went out for a few days and then came back to see that one and two pigs at home had gained weight, and I was full of energy.
Feed is not something profound.
In a few years, it will definitely bloom everywhere. Fourth Master took this as a springboard, but he really didn’t think about continuing to make this thing. What’s the point of selling it all over the world to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong?
The technical content is too little.
But if this factory is run well, it can still drive this area.
Nowadays, I dare not say that every family in this town has benefited, but overall, it is not bad. The supply and marketing cooperative has gone to the provincial capital, other cities and even outside the province. What are they doing? Selling pigs!
By the end of this year, the number of pigs will definitely be staggering.
After purchasing and then selling, the price difference can also help the supply and marketing cooperative make a lot of money.
Lao Wu locked the door of his house and took his wife out without saying a word to anyone. The two of them went out to exchange food.
Aunt Jin was quite satisfied. Even if others didn't tell her, she still felt that Lao Wu had finally achieved something. Yes, it was better to go out to find some money than to work hard. The key was to find a job for her daughter-in-law. She couldn't work in the fields.
You can no longer feed pigs at home. You can’t see clearly the crop seedlings in the field. Could it be that you can’t see clearly the pigs in the pigsty?
I asked the boss and his wife to go, but they didn't go, "We won't earn the money from the hard work."
You lazy coward! Then go hungry.
Aunt Jin said to Yingzi: "In the future, you are not allowed to give money to your father. You must give it directly to me. Otherwise, all the subsidies will be given to the boss. After two years of hardship and two years of poverty, no one will ignore him, and he will learn to behave on his own."
Already."
Yingzi agreed, and really didn’t give money to Old Man Jin. He bought cigarettes for cigarettes, and bought whatever he wanted to eat. Anyway, there are markets on both sides of the canteen, and now they are all in the neighborhood, which is very convenient. Old Man Jin didn’t spend any money at all.
necessary.
But not long after such a good business started, it started to rain. The rain continued continuously, and all business was slow. The main road was asphalt, but the small alleys were not full of water and mud.
Fortunately, most of this year's cotton has been harvested. Only the last bits of cotton bolls that were killed by frost are left, so the loss in yield can be tolerated.
It rained for another week, and the feed mills stopped production. Firstly, the feed could not be transported, and secondly, there were faults in the raw materials. I heard that a road collapsed and the road was not smooth.
Fortunately, the pig farm and chicken farm are close to the feed factory, so there will be no interruptions no matter what.
The two of them were idle at home, and the little old lady had some free time to make some fancy rice. Making dumplings, what kind of dumplings were made? I chopped two kinds of fillings, one with egg and beans, and the other with green chili pepper.
The chili stuffing was made for her and she said it was so spicy that she felt comfortable eating it.
In fact, in the past, the little old lady paid great attention to health care, and she was very restrained in eating such irritating things. But in the past year, things have been a little different. At least in terms of food, she has let herself go a little bit. She doesn't eat much.
Not much, but there are things that I want to eat but haven’t eaten yet, and now I start to cook and eat them in different ways. Even if Lin Yutong and Fourth Master are not at home to eat, the little old lady also cooks different meals for her and the children.
This has become the biggest factor behind Aunt Jin’s dissatisfaction with the little old lady.
The fourth child in her family is not so fussy.
After the package was finished, the Fourth Master only tasted one of the chili-filled ones. He hadn't even started sucking it yet and said it was spicy. Then his daughter wrinkled her face next to her and sucked the stuffed pepper with an expression on her face.
Dad feels bad.
Lin Yutong ate one, um! It tasted pretty good.
The little old lady rolled her eyes and gave half of it to her granddaughter.
The family was having a meal when Liu Zhuang came over and said, "Sister Lin, hurry up. We have notified everyone from above that the Yellow River has flooded and flooded everything under the beach. We are asked to go over and cooperate with the work."
This is a necessary procedure. When flooding occurs, people must have evacuated, but some livestock were not able to evacuate in time, but they knew how to swim and were later rescued. But I don’t know if they had any symptoms.
We need technicians from the animal husbandry station to help with diagnosis and treatment. As long as people go there, the medicine will be delivered.
Lin Yutong wiped his mouth, put on his rain boots and cloth shoes, and took his poncho to go out. The fourth master was still worried: "Is that okay?"
Lin Yutong hadn't answered yet, but people from the commune came. The Yellow River beach next to Taiping Town was also flooded. He asked the Fourth Master to leave quickly, and the town leaders all set off.
Come on! Let's go together.
The location of Taiping Town is good. As an ancient town, if the location was not good, it would not be preserved today.
Twenty miles to the east, there is a cliff tens of meters deep. Taking this cliff as the dividing point, below is the Yellow River beach, and above is the flat plain. It is said that the Yellow River has never been able to cover this cliff since ancient times.
.
Therefore, no matter how big the water in the Yellow River is, people living in Taiping Town are never worried. It will never be flooded.
It's really not submerged, but the water below is about a meter or two deep.
The people from the commune came to appease the people, while technicians like Lin Yutong just used their mouths to distribute the needed medicine.
The floods in recent years have come a little late, and at least 80% of the crops in the fields have been harvested. Only some sweet potatoes and the like have not been confiscated.
The water retreated just as quickly as it came in. Within two days, it was all gone.
People like Lin Yutong and Fourth Master can't leave even if they quit, they have to finish the post-disaster work.
Here we are busy settling people, and over there people from other places, such as Ping'an Town, are pouring in. There is an endless stream. They are all pulling frame trucks, carrying buckets, dustpans, bamboo baskets and the like.
.I also saw two brothers, Jin Laosan, Jin Laoer and Jin Laotou, driving a tractor with a frame truck on the tractor. They parked the tractor on the side and asked Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to help watch. Then they took the frame truck out of the pocket of the truck.
, the three of them went downstairs.
Why did you go?
Fishing for fish, fishing for carbon, fishing for wood, whatever you catch counts.
The flood washed down a lot of things from upstream. When the water receded, many of them got stuck in the mud.
Wild fish several feet long, old turtles and tortoises weighing one or two kilograms, and carbon that may have been washed down from the mining area. This kind of carbon is not resistant to burning, but it is a free thing, so don’t pick it up with white cloth. There is also wood.
As long as it is not made of wood such as paulownia, it is not afraid of blisters, so you can still use it the same way when you pull it back.
But this is not easy. The Yellow River originally carries sediment. Once the water recedes, more sediment will settle. Some deep nests are deeper than people. If you sink in, you won’t be able to say that they are gone. Or both.
It was a father and son who went into battle. They tied one to the other with a rope. As long as they were careful, nothing serious would happen. Is it easy to just pick up the things, put them on the frame truck, and then pull them out of the mud pit? Half of the car body was sunk in.
.It takes several people to carry it out. A village helps each other. Anyway, as long as it is picked up, they will not be willing to embarrass themselves and will pick it up even if they are exhausted.
Here at the Jin family, we have to move it from the frame truck to the tractor. Everyone is tired and gasping for air. What should we do?
Fourth Master, let’s do it! Lin Yutong wanted to help, but Fourth Master refused, and pointedly looked at Lin Yutong’s belly, telling her to be careful and careful.
Lin Yutong turned around and went to get food and drink from the camp where they worked. Not everyone in a village should be given food, but at least a mouthful of hot water must be given to them.
When these people saw their acquaintances, they unloaded the items on the cart on the side of the road, asked Lin Yutong to help look after them, drank a few sips of water, and left again.
Fourth Master said to Old Man Jin, "Please don't go..."
"What's the point?" Old Man Jin interrupted Fourth Master, "Neither of them has as much experience as me. I haven't been here before when there was flooding..."
Then he left with his two sons.
After Fourth Master and Lin Yutong finish their work, the beach collecting activities here will come to an end.
It was also because the Jin family had a tractor that they harvested quite a lot. Just three to four hundred kilograms of fish, big and small, were harvested. The dead Aunt Jin and Yingzi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already been cleaned and pickled.
Some of them were bought sporadically by people around to try them out. Aunt Jin called Lao Wu over and dug a hole in the backyard. She covered the hole with plastic sheeting and put a pool of water in to raise it.
They will definitely be sold at a good price before the end of the year. Even if they are taken to the county town one after another to sell them, the price will not be low.
In addition, there are more than 1,000 kilograms of coal. If you burn it at home, it will be enough for the Jin family and the third family to take care of their children.
There are also some pieces of wood, no matter how fragmentary they are, Lin Yutong has never seen them.
It's a windfall.
In winter, some people from the bottom of the beach come up to look for work, and women in their forties go to small restaurants to find work for free, just three meals a day.
Some young men even gathered around places like feed mills and pig farms to see if there was any work for them.
After a disaster, life becomes more miserable than in previous years.
So, the Fourth Master had another job in the middle of winter, which was to build roads. That was to build dirt roads in the town. Every alley was built. They were not asphalt roads, gravel roads, or cinder roads. They used the motor factory.
The waste material cinder.
The road built by this thing is okay for one year. If you make do with it for two years, it will be finished in three years. But this is the lowest cost solution. Who is used? It is a group of disaster victims who are looking for work.
The salary is not high, which is saved by the commune tightening its belt.
Although there is one more job, there are two little bosses below, so the Fourth Master can totally be lazy.
It was getting cold and the children could not go out to play. Being bored in the house, Qingning picked up a bunch of large and small stones and came back. With that, he and Qingping wanted to catch the crutches.
Would it not hurt if that thing hit my hand?
The Fourth Master came to find broken tiles, smashed the tiles, and found small fragments the size of marbles. Then he polished the fragments one by one until they were smooth and light. They would not be hurt or hurt when they fell on his hands.
Bruise.
The two children played steadily on the kang.
The little old lady was very patient in making sandbags for the children, chasing after the tassels, filling them with millet, and asking them to throw them around.
There are only a few toys for such a big girl. The fourth master also found some thicker peach branches pruned from the orchard, which ones he would use to carve zodiac toys for the children.
Qing Ning could stay with her father, and the two of them could talk to each other all day long.
Lin Yutong's belly was slightly bulging. There is a family planning policy now, but it is not strict yet. Those who have a daughter for the first child are allowed to have a second child. However, if you give birth to a second child, you have to pay a fee of 300 to 50 yuan.
A fine of 100 yuan will be imposed. And if you have a rural household registration, the land will not be allocated again. The same policy applies to both parties who have public offices. A fine of 300 to 500 yuan will be imposed, and neither person will be allowed to be promoted within three years.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, if you go to graduate school next year, you will definitely not be promoted within three years.
Overall, it's pretty loose.
Because I had to pay such a price for this second child, I went to the hospital in the fifth and sixth months of pregnancy. If it was not a son, I would decisively abort the baby and try again if I got pregnant again.
Like honeysuckle, now my belly is bulging again.
Yesterday, I asked Lin Yutong if he wanted to go to the hospital together. Lin Yutong said no: "It doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl."
Just these two babies, to give Qing Ning a companion. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl.
Their employers also know about this, and everyone can calculate the pros and cons, and once they do the math, they will understand why the couple decided to have a baby at this time.
The little old lady saw that Lin Yutong seemed to be a bit addicted to spicy food, so she was worried about being a daughter again. She felt: "It would be pitiful for Qingning to marry without a brother to support her..."......
Haha! Are you looking for brothers to support you? The younger brother is dragging down the elder sister too much.
In the winter, I stay at home playing with my children, spending time with my wife, and reading books. My days are going well, but who knows, I suddenly become busy again. The commune is looking for the Fourth Master again. This time, it is not my job, but a special mission.
What mission?
Everyone knew that Fourth Master had passed the test in English, so they all thought that his English was very good and asked Fourth Master to receive the overseas Chinese.
Why do you need good English to receive overseas Chinese? You don’t know Chinese.
Okay! The leader has arranged it this way, so we have to go like this.
This time we have to go directly to the provincial capital to pick him up. Because the other party has a different identity, the fourth master cannot be careless about his dressing and let others look down upon him.
Brand new Chinese tunic suit, well-fitting. Black leather shoes with mink fur inside, absolutely warm.
Pair it with a pure cashmere woolen coat, which is long and flatters your figure.
In addition, there was another reason why the fourth master was asked to go, that is, the commune's cars were too shabby, so the fourth master was asked to find a way to find a decent car from his brother-in-law to save face.
This is something that really cannot be done without Lin Yujian.
Lin Yujian is now in the newly established tourism bureau, and the people he receives are all foreigners. The vehicles of the tourism bureau are just for the sake of appearance, and they are always good cars.
The fourth master greeted him in advance, and Lin Yujian agreed wholeheartedly: "...This is all a trivial matter. But the person you want to pick up is currently staying at the Overseas Chinese Hotel, and we have also hosted him when traveling these days. I heard that he used to be a national D
The teacher-level figure over there is from Taiping Town, and I heard that he still has descendants in his family."
Are there any descendants?
This is information that the commune does not know.
Whose family does this belong to?
Before leaving, Fourth Master pointed to the house where the little old lady lived and asked Lin Yutong in a low voice: "Have you ever heard of the old lady's man's last name?"
ah?
Lin Yutong shook his head blankly: "I only know that my surname is Qi."
The children on the eldest wife's side of the Qi family should know their names, but isn't their identity sensitive? They never dare to mention it.
Where do you know where to go?
She asked, "What's wrong?" Then she asked in a low voice as if she remembered something, "No way? Do you suspect that the old man has found his way back?"
Incomplete guarantee.
The fourth master went there that day and came back the same day. In the car sat an old man who was over ninety years old, and two people who were not sure whether they were assistants or bodyguards. There were also people from the foreign affairs department in other cars, and because of the overseas Chinese themselves,
Because of his age, the Insurance Regulatory Department arranged for a doctor to follow him all the way.
He is ninety years old, and he wears a hearing aid when he talks. His hands are trembling, and the hand holding the cane is withered and thin.
The car entered Taiping Town, drove onto the four-lane asphalt road, and saw a newly built road sign in the distance, which said "Welcome to Taiping Ancient Town". The old man let out a soft sigh, "...I don't recognize you...
"It's like murmuring.
The fourth master said to him: "The old city wall has been demolished. If you want to find an old friend, you have to tell us his name."
"My home is easy to find." The old man's eyes lit up: "It's right next to the Jin family in Taiping Town... If you find the Jin family, you will find my home... Jin Guangyuan, who was famous back then, will not be forgotten so quickly.
"
The famous Jin Guangyuan is none other than the Jin Patriarch.
hehe……
Fourth Master said: "That's a coincidence. Jin Guangyuan is my great-grandfather."
"Huh?" The old man tilted his head to see the fourth master's face. The fourth master turned back and smiled slightly.
The old man burst out laughing: "Let me tell you, why can't you find your home when you come back?" He clapped his lap happily, "Your great-grandfather was a capable man..."
I feel very nostalgic.
Then he stopped smiling again and his voice became deeper, "Is everyone in the Qi family okay?"
That's pretty good.
The two sons and one daughter brought back by the old man's eldest wife, one son and one daughter, are gone. The youngest son is still alive. The grandchildren are also adults. Life is the same as everyone else's, no one is better than anyone else.
I'm not worse than anyone else, I'm just getting by.
The fourth master explained it in detail, and the car slowly turned in front of the feed factory.
We were driving forward, and in front of us was the commune team welcoming overseas Chinese. But we heard the old man shout: "Stop! Stop!"
Fourth Master stepped on the brakes and followed the old man's line of sight. He saw the little old lady coming out of the roadside market, holding Qingning in one hand and holding a bowl with a piece of tofu in the other. Not passing by on the road,
Instead, I entered a small restaurant. Going out from the back door of the restaurant is the front door of my house. It is very convenient!
There was a particularly eye-catching car parked in front of the restaurant, and everyone looked over.
The fourth master rolled down the car window, and Qingning's eyes lit up. He quickly released the little old lady's hand and ran towards this side, "Dad, you're back!"
The car window at the back also rolled down, and Fourth Master heard the old man shout: "Shuya..."
The little old lady stared at Qingning for a moment, and naturally she focused on the two cars, wanting to see who this overseas Chinese was. As a result, the little old lady's eyes narrowed, and in just a moment,
He looked away again, as if he didn't recognize her, and waved to Qingning, "Come back quickly! Your dad is busy."
The fourth master handed over the green-skinned, jumping, iron-shelled frog that he sold to Qingning in the provincial capital, "Go back. Dad will go home as soon as he delivers."
Qingning took it and blew a kiss to her father, then skipped away, holding up the frog in her hand to show the little old lady. The old man and the little one just disappeared from the eyes of everyone.
The old man moved his lips to the fourth master. He probably had a lot to ask.
Fourth Master had no intention of explaining, he just couldn't see it, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started to move.
By delivering the person to the commune, the Fourth Master is considered to be on a mission.
I didn't get involved with other things and went home directly.
Hot soup and rice are waiting at home. Lin Yutong kept winking at the Fourth Master, "Isn't that right?"
The little old lady pushed the bowl in front of Lin Yutong: "Why talk so much? Eat!"
I don't want to say it like that.
The fish head and tofu soup was so delicious that Lin Yutong soaked the rice in the soup and ate two bowls.
Before the bowl was put down, there was a noise outside the door. The sound of cars and people and various noises came over, and then there was a knock on the door.
The Fourth Master stood up, wiped his mouth, and went out to open the door. When someone came in again, he was followed by an old man being supported by two people.
The old man looked at the little old lady and was silent for a long time before saying: "...are you okay?"
The little old lady ate slowly: "It's no worse than when I followed you."
The table has not been cleared yet. Although the vegetables and soup have been eaten, it is not in a mess. Obviously, the children who serve her are well-educated. There are braised fish pieces, boiled meat slices, and a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
A plate of scrambled eggs with chives, a bowl of fish head and tofu soup and a bowl of white rice.
That's right, living with him is nothing more than this.
The clothes on her body may not seem to be elegant, but they are all neat and tidy. Judging from the materials, they are all clothes that are of the same quality. She wears this regularly, so she must have made new clothes every season. Her hair is neatly combed.
It's neat, and the hairpin used is silver, but it's old craftsmanship, and it can be considered an antique. At that time, new things were fashionable, so she wouldn't buy such a thing for her. This must be a filial piety from the future generations. Look at the bowl she is holding.
The hand holding the chopsticks does not have a bracelet or ring, but it wears a new-style watch.
Look at this house again. It is full of pine wood furniture and has an antique look. Wearing a coat will make you feel hot, and everyone in the house is wearing jackets. I think there is no heating here, but the effect is about the same.
The little old lady had a smile on her face: "You've already left, why are you back? Since you're back, it's time to go home. What are you doing to be an overseas Chinese? What kind of overseas Chinese are you? Weren't you born and raised here?
Here, the old prodigal who ran away after becoming an old man... Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
Lin Yutong was stunned: The little old lady has never been so sharp!
