The car that Yang Dongxu drove home was not the shabby Nissan that he drove in Hangzhou, but the latest high-end Bulletproof Mercedes-Benz.
It's not that he wants to show off, but the family's cars only have four-wheelers and pickup trucks, so it's definitely more convenient to take a pregnant woman to a car. And for the sake of safety, it is natural to drive whichever car is better. As for what other people think, that is other people's business. You can't let your wife and children suffer because of other people's opinions, right?
So when he was talking to Xiaowu and the others in the car, there were a lot of people in the yard watching him drive back. Some children curiously stretched out their hands to touch around, but were slapped on the back of the head a few times by the parents next to them. Stop.
The place where the car parked was not a house on the street, but an old house that occupied all the square footage of my own courtyard. Compared with the bare area in winter, some of the leaves have not fallen yet in autumn, so the surrounding area of the yard is very interesting.
Some of the roads around have been paved with concrete, and some are still dirt paths. Not only are there maple trees that are not found in Yangjia Village, but now the maple leaves are fiery red, and there are also some osmanthus trees and other plants. A large flower garden.
In front of the door is a large grape arbor, but the grape vines just planted this year are a bit small and have not spread. On the other side is the vegetable plot cultivated by Yang's mother.
That's right, even though Yang Dongxu repeatedly objected, Yang's mother still made a vegetable patch in front of and behind the house according to Chinese tradition and planted green onions and other things.
The grape trellis was not used because the vines were too small. Instead, beans, loofahs, and plum beans were planted. The grape vines were full of climbing and it was quite a sight to see, especially the hanging beans, loofahs, and plum blossoms. Clusters of green plum seeds seem to be more lively than all the flowers.
In addition to these vegetables, Father Yang also built a chicken shed behind the house, where he raised dozens of chickens, ducks and geese. The trenches around the house were widened and deepened using excavators when the house was built.
For safety reasons, guardrails were installed on both sides, so Yang's father also installed a guardrail around the perimeter of the bamboo pole garden, and then opened a small door on the guardrail on the side of the house. Ducks and geese can directly go up to three or four meters wide. swim in the ditch,
The chickens built a wooden suspension bridge over the trench, allowing them to cross directly into the bamboo pole garden to look for bugs to eat. At night, they could go back to their nests and close the door, so they didn't have to worry about weasels or anything like that.
Because chickens and ducks don't live near the courtyard, even if the feces in the chicken shed is cleaned up in a few days, there is no smell at all in the room. Even if there is any smell, it is covered up by the fragrance of flowers blooming in various seasons in the flower garden.
The flowerbed on the house is not circular, but a circle surrounding the courtyard on both sides of the cement road. There are many kinds of flowers planted in it. For example, the roses are withered now, and the chrysanthemums are blooming brightly.
Old man Xuan and Yang Dongxu's father-in-law, who were not allowed to do farm work in the village before by Yang Ma, were looking for something to do this time. When I have nothing to do, I come to take care of the greening of the old house. The two of them are now playing with bonsai, making the area around the courtyard very stylish.
The children scattered a few bags of candies, and the adults naturally dispersed the cigarettes. As for the women's room, there were enough fruit plates and melon seeds, so everyone dispersed when Yang Dongxu came back to join in the fun.
Since Zhou Ya chose to give birth to her child in her hometown, she will definitely have her confinement period there and will not leave her hometown even years ago. Yang Dongxu naturally has to accompany him, so there will be many opportunities to drink with Faxiao in the future, so there is no need to rush.
"How much did Xu Zi's car cost?" Xiao Tao followed his brother Xiao Wu and others home, and couldn't help but ask after leaving the house.
"It costs hundreds of thousands, right?" the general said.
"Hundreds of thousands? Ten hundreds of thousands is about the same. You have never been out of the province with your uncle's sports car. I don't know. Many of the big bosses in the south drive this big Ben.
The owner of the factory I delivered goods to last time drove a Daben. It didn't look as elegant as Asahi's. It was said that it cost nearly 1.5 million to pick up the car. How could Asahi's cost more than 2 million? . "Daliang said.
"Really or not?" Xiaoliang's eyes began to have stars.
Although Yangjia Village has become rich in recent years, their family has even bought a large truck worth four to five hundred thousand yuan. When I follow my elder brother out to deliver goods, I often hear that hundreds of thousands, that is, millions of goods are considered a payment. Seen the world.
But he was still shocked that a car cost more than two million. That was two million. If you had so much money in a bank, you would probably be able to live on the interest every day without doing anything, right?
"It's more than two million, it's probably going to be three million or so. Remember the last time we went to Shenzhen to deliver goods? A big boss there's car is a Daben worth over two million, and it doesn't look as impressive as Xuzi's. "Xiao Wu said.
In an instant, several people became silent. They knew before that Xuzi must be rich, and very rich. After all, how can you pay to build roads in the village if you don’t have money?
What's more, they are also engaged in the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine. It is said that all the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine in Chengwang City and even Jiaocheng City is owned by Xuzi. It is estimated that tens of millions each will not be able to do it.
But in the past, I felt that Yang Dongxu's wealth only existed in his feelings. Although they knew that traditional Chinese medicine would definitely make money, they actually had no idea about the things that grew in the fields and the thousands of acres of medicinal fields. After all, what were the prices of different types of traditional Chinese medicine? They don't know much about it, so they don't feel much about it.
Now a car worth three million was standing in front of him. Even though he knew that Yang Dongxu was rich before, the shock in his heart made him feel unspeakable.
Although they all knew that Xuzi had been smart since he was a child. Not only was he still a college student when he went to school in Yanjing, it was said that his father-in-law had retired as a high-ranking official in Beijing.
Haven’t you seen that city leaders and provincial leaders come to visit you from time to time? But after Zhou Ya lost his temper, there were far fewer people coming.
But as their peers are still young, they are not jealous that Yang Dongxu is better than them. Because the other party has been better than them since they were young, but when they bought such a car for only three million and put it in front of them, they still felt a little complicated.
"Why did you bring such a car back?" The villagers dispersed and Yang Dongxu went upstairs. Zhou Ya, who was pregnant with her belly, was sitting on the balcony. It was still a bit hot at noon in autumn, but there was a cool breeze at night. She sat on the ironing table. Watching the sunset makes me feel very happy.
"It's more convenient to pick you up and drop you off." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand to tuck some of the messy hair in front of Zhou Ya's forehead back, then picked up the fruit in the fruit plate and started to nibble on it.
"Even if you have a child, others can do it. I'm not that delicate, and you can't be pampered after the child is born." Zhou Ya glanced at Yang Dongxu, but she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.
"Don't worry, if he dares to give birth to a son, I won't beat him to death." Yang Dongxu snorted and took a hard bite of the apple.
"How dare you!" Zhou Ya, who had just been teaching Yang Dongxu not to spoil children, glared at him, as if you dare to beat my son, I will beat you.
"You said you can't be coddled?" Seeing Zhou Ya's angry look, Yang Dongxu was confused.
"You can't fight then." Zhou Ya looked at him with a threatening look.
Yang Dongxu suddenly became speechless, and even taught me not to spoil my son. Why are you acting like a loving mother but a loser now?
Wow...
A silver carp didn't know what kind of stimulation it received in the water. It flapped its tail and jumped out of the water, then plunged into the water and splashed with waves.
"When you grow up like this, do you usually have people feeding the fish?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.
Although he only glanced at it briefly, he estimated that the one that jumped out of the water weighed at least five kilograms. Such a big fish could not grow in a year.
"It's not the fish released this year. When you built a house before and asked to clean up and dig deep trenches around it, there were a lot of fish in the water. Although they were caught once, there were quite a few left.
This one was probably a fish that slipped through the net at that time, but the ones I've seen before were only two or three pounds, and this is the first time I've seen one this big.
Dad said that once a fish is caught every time, the people in the old house will get a share. In the past, the fish here were all shared by everyone, but now they are enclosed by our family. Although we have received some compensation, we cannot eat alone. Zhou Ya said.
"Even if we want to eat so much fish alone, we can't eat it. We expect to spend so much time catching fish and sell them on the street. We might as well raise a few more pigs. Our family has enough money to share. Just one point.
However, the ones with large mesh holes are caught, and those weighing one or two kilograms are put in to let them continue to grow. Those weighing more than three kilograms are then divided. There used to be more than 20 families in the old house, and the trench in such a large circle was widened and deepened. It shouldn't be a big problem to get more than 20 silver carps weighing more than three kilograms. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"It should be there. Even if there are no loaches and crucian carp in there, it should be no problem for the whole family to share three or four kilograms of fish of the same weight."
The biggest fear when working in rural areas is inequality, especially when it comes to sharing free things. Why is it that everyone comes from the same old house and his family is arguing about a big fish weighing five kilograms while my family is arguing about a small fish weighing three kilograms?
Even good things that you care about can turn into bad things, and some rural women like to care about these things. Although the Yang family has a high prestige in Yangjia Village and no one dares to say anything small, it is not good to feel unhappy because of such an unintentional move.
"Are there any big crucian carp that weighs more than half a catty? If not, after you give birth in two days, Xiaowu and I will go to the Robinia River in the south to take a look at the big crucian carp soup to release milk."
"I don't know either. Mr. Xuan has fished behind the chicken coop before. It seems that the crucian carp hasn't been caught too big." Zhou Ya shook her head.
"Then we'll have a look in two days when we catch fish. If there are any big crucian carp, we can keep them in a water tank. Anyway, if you get water directly from the trench, they can survive for a long time without dying. It will be useful then."
"You haven't given birth to a child yet. Even if you give birth to a child, your milk supply may not be insufficient. Why are you afraid of starving your son now? It's ugly to say that if a son cannot be pampered, no, the daughter cannot be too spoiled, otherwise you will regret it if you are lawless. Yes." Zhou Ya snorted.
A flock of crows flew over Yang Dongxu's head. They all said that the logic of this pregnant woman's words...
All right!
There is no logic in what a woman says, let alone a pregnant woman.
