There are large flowing clouds floating in the sky, flickering bright and dark. Occasionally, the warm sun will peek out from the floating clouds and sprinkle it on the small courtyard. The corn kernels drying on the ground are plump and cute, shining in the sun.
When the grandparents saw their grandson coming, they put down their work and went to greet him.
Grandpa Shu Jianguo used to be a very legendary person in the village. His story is as exciting as the protagonist of the TV series.
When he was a boy, he fought with a bear in the mountains and was scratched on his back with a bone-deep wound. The horrific scars can still be seen now. When he was young, he experienced the household-based labor contract and was one of the first households in the village to sign the contract. First, he was naturally the first farmer in the village to realize the freedom of making bread; later, with the reform and opening up, and the development of the city, he set up a brick factory and became the first household worth 10,000 yuan in the village; later, when bricks could no longer be sold, he decisively I went out to the brick factory and asked for permission from the relevant departments. I contracted a large piece of wasteland behind the house and started a farmhouse with the money I had saved from running the brick factory.
Anping Township is only a dozen kilometers away from the county seat. This farmhouse not only has villagers and neighbors to take care of the business, but many people from around the county seat will also consider coming to them to hold wedding banquets or large gatherings.
With affordable prices, business is booming.
Behind their house is the farmhouse. There are not many buildings. There are only three large bungalows. They are spread out and can accommodate twenty or thirty tables of banquets at the same time. There are no fixed waiters in the farmhouse. When there is a large banquet, He would call some idle relatives over to do work and pay them on a per-time basis.
Outside the reception area, there is a large area. Grandpa built an artificial fishing pond. The water in it is imported from outside. People fishing there even drive dozens of kilometers from the neighboring county.
Li Chenghuan once felt that his grandfather had no ambitions, otherwise with his ability, he would have no problem taking root in the city.
Seeing him coming, Li Xixia jumped high and ran over.
"Brother, brother!"
Li Xixia was out of breath, and Li Chenghuan was amused and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, speak slowly..."
Li Xixia burst into tears, "Brother, I miss you."
Then Li Lin'an came out slowly. He had obviously just taken a nap, and his eyes were a little hazy at this time.
"Are you here?" Li Lin'an yawned and said to Shulan with a smile: "I've been sleeping more soundly in the countryside these days. How about it? Is the basketball training camp over?"
Shulan nodded: "It's over for now. It's been too hot these days. Let's take a rest."
And Li Xixia hugged Li Chenghuan, hugged his neck tightly, and never looked at her father again.
Li Lin'an was a little funny, so he said deliberately: "Xixia, come and give dad a hug."
Li Xixia snorted, hugged Li Chenghuan tighter, and said, "No dad!"
Shu Lan looked puzzled and said, "Is Xixia already annoying you?"
Li Lin'an laughed. "It's a long story, it's a long story..."
Xiao Xixia pursed her lips in grievance and looked away from her father.
After lunch, several adults sat and chatted in the main room, and Li Chenghuan took his sister to play outside.
For pure farmers, summer is very busy, but for farmhouses, they have to wait until after the autumn harvest... Of course, this is an ideal state. This era is too impetuous. It is enough to survive just by growing food, but What about life?
Grandpa Shu Jianguo is capable, but also has a fiery personality. He will scold his wife at every turn. He is a figure similar to the "King of Hammers of the Northwest", but he is sincerely dedicated to the family. He is the mainstay of the family and has a good personality. Stubborn, as tough as the land here, hard, thick, and merciless, but she said tough words but did the softest things with her hands. Grandma Liu Shujuan was also one of the most beautiful women in the neighboring town when she was young. She married him I was never willing to let her do some heavy work.
The two of them had complementary personalities. No matter how much grandpa scolded her, grandma would just listen and smile without refuting.
After chatting for a while, grandpa suddenly thought of Li Chenghuan and Li Xixia and said, "Why haven't they come back after so long?"
Shu Lan didn't care and said, "Don't worry, Dad, Chenghuan will take good care of Xixia."
Shu Jianguo snorted, "What are you talking about? Children of Chenghuan's age are noisy, how can this be reassuring! I have to go out and take a look!"
Shulan knew her father's temper, so she could only laugh dryly and let him go out.
When the adults went out and walked to the backyard, they were all stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Li Chenghuan was sitting on the long bench under the grape trellis, and Li Xixia was lying on it, her head resting on his leg, sleeping soundly.
This scene was so heartwarming that the viewers felt a deep sense of warmth in their hearts.
Several adults were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing how to express their feelings at this moment.
At this time, grandma came out with a few apples in her pockets. She accidentally dropped them on the floor. Grandpa Shu Jianguo said angrily, "You prodigal old woman!" Shu Lan slapped her lightly in annoyance.
Li Xixia opened her eyes in a daze, rubbed them, and looked in front of her curiously.
The sky is blue and crystal clear, with light clouds like gauze. The sunlight falls through the gaps in the grape trellis, mottled all over the ground, and the crystal bunches of grapes sway gently in the breeze.
…
“In this fishing, the main thing is patience.”
Shu Lan explained fishing techniques to Li Chenghuan seriously.
"The life of fish is affected and restricted by many factors, such as meteorological conditions, water quality, and water temperature. To understand the relationship between fish and these natural factors, as long as you understand these issues, you will understand how to prepare bait and how to choose fishing Point and fishing position. Only in this way can you be a clear-headed fisherman."
"The pond in our house is a saucer-shaped pond. It is best to hook it far into the middle of the pond ridge. This is the only way for fish to swim, and it is difficult for fish to swim to the corners of the pond. The fishing effect is It’s definitely not good.”
This knowledge was taught to her by her old father when she was a child, and she showed it off.
"Mom, you know so much!" Li Chenghuan praised while fishing another carp from the pond.
Shulan blinked and looked silently at her son's bucket. This was already the third fish he had caught. On the other hand, she saw that the bucket was still empty.
"Ahem, you are fishing for carp. Although the success rate is relatively high, it is mainly because carp prefers sweet bait, and your bait is just right. However, mom wants to catch catfish, and catfish are picky about bait, so... …”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenghuan's fishing rod moved again. He pulled it up with excitement on his face, and a plump catfish writhed wildly.
Li Chenghuan looked at his mother.
My mother turned her face towards the pond and said nothing.
