I was busy all afternoon, and it wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that I finally finished.
Xue Ling was very tired and chuckled: "Fortunately, the children are older. Ran Ran and Yang Yang will help, and Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong will help take Xiao Yue to play, otherwise we may not be able to keep up."
I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to enter the house in rural areas. There were so many things to prepare and what to do to enter the house to worship. Everyone was exhausted from the busy work.
Xue's father and mother were also tired, so they took Xiaoyue upstairs to rest.
Xue Ling called on several children to go upstairs as well.
Xiaoxin yawned and muttered: "Mom, when are we going home?"
Xue Ling replied: "My grandparents and grandparents will take you to the South Island in two days! My father and I will also go to the South Island to see you during the Chinese New Year, and we will go home on the sixth or seventh day of the first lunar month."
"I want to go to the South Island...now!" Xiaoxin muttered: "It's too cold here at night, and there's no place to have fun."
Xiao Chong turned his head and whispered: "My second brother and I were playing in the yard in the afternoon, and several children came to see us. They said something very similar to grandma and grandpa, and looked at us with wide eyes, as if we were
Monster-like.”
Yangyang smiled and said: "People have said that they envy us for being children from the city."
Xue Ling couldn't help but explain: "We are also from here, but we live in the city now, so others say so."
"Not me!" Xue Yang chuckled: "My surname is 'Xue', not 'Cheng'."
Xiaoxin giggled and muttered: "Me too!"
Ran Ran and Xiao Chong were secretly dissatisfied and said angrily: "What's there to show off?!"
Xiao Chong also pouted and asked: "Mom, why can't I take your last name, but my father's last name is 'Cheng'?"
Xue Ling explained with a wry smile: "Each of you originally had the surname of 'Cheng'. It's just that my father loves my mother and decided that the two children will follow him and the two children will follow me. No matter what your surname is, you are all the children who will go out here.
They are all my and your father’s children.”
Xiao Chong complained: "Chengjia Village is not fun here. Many places are very dirty. After walking a few times, there is mud under the soles of my shoes."
Ranran didn't say anything, but "dislike" was written all over her face, and the other two were no exception.
Listening to grandpa and grandma talking about Chengjia Village all day long, they thought it was such a beautiful place. Who knew that there was no park, no playground, no shopping mall here, and it was not fun at all.
Xue Ling said hurriedly: "There are a lot of fun things, but you haven't discovered them yet. When dad is free tomorrow, he will take you to the river to fish. Uncle Ahu will come to the yard tomorrow to grill fish!"
After listening to it, several children finally became excited and looked forward to a new program tomorrow.
Seeing that their smiles had returned, Xue Ling smiled softly.
For children, the best thing is to have something to eat and something to play with.
I was on the road all day yesterday, and today everyone had to help with the work and couldn't go out for a spin at all. Although there are many facilities for fun in the city, rural areas are also very fun.
The weather has been so good these two days. Going to the mountains, trees and water is a "play"-like enjoyment for them, but they are too busy today and haven't been able to go out. I will take them out to play tomorrow. Once the fresh energy comes, they will naturally
Will like it.
Cheng Tianyuan packed up his things and closed the outer door.
Suddenly, he noticed a dark shadow passing by in the corner!
"Who?! Who is where?"
Unexpectedly, there was no reply.
Cheng Tianyuan thought of Xue Ling's words yesterday and couldn't help but frown slightly. He quickly closed the outer door and locked the inner door.
Not only that, he also checked the windows carefully and found that each one was locked tightly.
The weather has been warm these two days, so there is no need to burn firewood or turn on the heater. Therefore, even if the windows are closed tightly and there is a large space in the house, there is no need to worry about poor air circulation.
After going upstairs, he quickly took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, the village chief came.
Cheng Muhai and Chang Bo were watering the grass at the door and hurriedly welcomed him in.
The three of them sat in the morning sun, basking in the sun and chatting quietly.
Chang Bo explained that he would return to the imperial capital with A Yuan and the others tomorrow and continue to help in A Yuan's warehouse.
The village chief sighed lowly, "You are almost eighty-seven..."
"I can still work." Chang Bo smiled, with the wrinkles on his face getting deeper and deeper, and explained: "The work at A Yuan's side is very easy. I just have to stand guard at the gate and prevent people from coming in and out at will. I
Now my monthly salary is one thousand yuan!"
The village chief stared in surprise and asked: "How hot is it?"
"Yes!" Chang Bo said proudly: "The wages in the imperial capital are high, so what's the minimum wage standard now? In short, A Yuan will never treat me badly. Food and accommodation are included. Heating pipes were installed in the past two years. In winter,
There’s no need to be afraid of the cold, it’s very warm inside the cabin.”
The village chief smiled and said: "Our ancients have a saying, 'What is lost is harvested in the east.' Fortunately for you, you have A Yuan as your cousin, so at least you can have a stable life."
"That's right!" Chang Bo smiled happily.
The village chief rolled his eyes and whispered: "Ignore that bastard Tian Shuan from now on, and don't think too much about it. You live your life well, and his family lives his family's life. Don't worry too much about it, and you can't care about it too much."
.”
"This..." Chang Bo sighed in embarrassment: "Young people can leave me alone, but can I leave them alone? The money I earn cannot be spent at all. Among us people, who doesn't come and leave naked? Is it difficult for me?
Can you save money and use it in the underworld? Alas! I figured it out and give it as much as I have. Anyway, I am just a member of their family. If I don’t give it to them, who will I give it to?"
Cheng Muhai said nothing and buried his head in tidying up the grass.
The village chief frowned and said: "Do you still think you are young now? You are almost eighty-seven! Do you really think you can live a heroic life and work until the moment you die? You have to keep some money with you.
ah!"
"No need." Chang Bo chuckled, with the coldness of a winter morning, "When I can no longer work or walk, I will fall down directly, and then I will go to the Lord of Hell to report to the Lord with a smile."
The village chief couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked: "What if it's not that happy? Not everyone is so lucky. They fall down and leave as soon as they close their eyes. You have to consider that you are sick, or something else."
Uncle Chang still shook his head: "No, if I get sick, just come back to our village, and then you can help me find a piece of land on the mountain and bury me."
"Fuck you!" the village chief snorted coldly: "Who wants to bury you? I don't want to care about you!"
Chang Bo sighed quietly and smiled bitterly: "After all, I am from this village. Why don't you find a few young and strong men to bury me?"
The village chief smoked heavily and refused to speak. There were tears in his eyes.
Cheng Muhai, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What are you worried about? I'm not dead yet! Why do you think so much? Don't you still have me? I promise you that you will be buried on the mountain of our Chengjia Village.
.”
"...Okay!" Chang Bo smiled happily.
After a while, Chang Bo took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the village chief.
"Here's twenty-five thousand dollars. Could you please give these to that bastard and just say - just say this is my last money."
The village chief shook his head: "I don't recognize Tianshuan's house, how do you want me to deliver it? His heart is not upright, you believe me, can he and his wife trust me? Don't you leave tomorrow? Call them and let them know.
They come to get it themselves! As long as they have money, they will come even though they are thousands of miles away!"
Chang Bo thought for a while, rummaged in his pocket for a long time, and pulled out a shabby note.
