Tugou Village, Yicheng Township.
The van from the canteen at the head of the village drove back. First of all, he shouted: "Lao Qi! Lao Qi! Your grandson is back with a courier!"
The mountainous area was full of loess and was very empty. Although the two families were far apart, half of the village could still hear this voice.
The neighbor couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Qi's grandson picked it up well. He kowtows to his son's grave. In the future, he can also wear sackcloth and show mourning for him, so he won't have no heirs."
"That's right. Linzi is filial and thoughtful." The old lady at home also said the same.
The man next to him snorted: "What's the point of being filial? Instead of going to college and going all the way, it's better to quit and stay at home and farm the land honestly. Now I can have my great-grandson in my arms." "
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the wife next to him: "No matter how far Linzi goes, he will give Lao Qi a thousand yuan every month, and he will also send special products to Lao Qi every time he goes back to a new place..."
"You are farming at home, and I don't want you to send me fruits, snacks, lotus root powder or anything like that. Why don't you give me a thousand yuan a month to my mother!"
The man immediately fell silent!
One thousand a month, darling, no... no... no more than twelve thousand a year!
Oh my god!
Ouch! Ouch!
Looking at the shrimps again, I couldn’t help but pick one up. The shell was really crispy and the shrimp meat was so fresh...
"This is a hit!"
At the same time, he went to look under the shelf again: "Where is the returned sauerkraut? Do you remember..."
You instantly felt distressed and took away all the fish and shrimps outside the bag:
Lao Qi also thought it was because he had sent fruits after having children, but Feng Feng said it was a waste of money. Then transfer it to the postal service——
Showing off his grandson is becoming more and more popular.
But... it tastes so bad, so why eat less!
After thinking about it, I also caught a handful of shrimps. It's much better than dried fish.
…
"You are already so young. If you save money to buy a house outside the city, where can you find a wife?"
As he spoke, he opened the package - Shanwai people say privacy is private, and the children sent only food. Lao Qi complained in his mouth, but in his heart it was beautiful.
Lao Qi was still nagging: "Girl, it's not that you spend money and have little tricks. You lack food and drink outside the home. I always send those messy things, and all the money is spent."
Outside of our area, there is little sunshine but not little wind every day. Is it still cold at 80 degrees or so?
I discussed with my wife: "Look at him searching for fish and shrimps. It's convenient for us to buy fish and shrimps, and it's easy to eat them. In that case, he cooked them for lunch first, and you can ask Linzi later. Look where I bought it and give us a few more pounds!"
The boss laughed: "Then how did you know? It was sent by Fengfeng slow delivery. The slow delivery point there is too far, so I asked the postal service to deliver it."
While happily exiting the room: "Lin Zi just sent it back, and Lao Qi grabbed a handful - it's so delicious!"
Farmers work with hands that are smooth but thick!
"It's really that bad. You can just go to his house and lie down later - what did you send that time?"
"He said he would send me this straw mat next time... Oh, it's such a waste of money! You go back and collect it next time. You see, the price of these straw mats has increased. It costs 80 now, and your old bamboo mat is broken!"
The boss waved his hand: "You'll call me later and buy a few more pounds!" Don't be surprised!
"He told the child that he had to send it to the postal service last time. Our place is remote and the postal service car can deliver the package to your place."
Moreover, we have bamboo growing outside, and even more lush wild grass. I smelled the grass all night last night, and when I woke up early, I felt like I was sleeping under the sweet potato vine.
Halfway through the walk, I couldn't help but touch a large piece of dried fish and eat it directly——
This grasp really involves skills, but there are a lot of them.
"It smells so good!"
"Do it, do it!"
The store owner thought to himself:
"Then go earn it! You're lazy and greedy... Look, there are a few like you in the village..."
My daughter-in-law was also very surprised: "Fish! Oh, Linzi, that bad boy from elementary school, comes from all over the world. I eat all the bad food."
The guy from the hypermarket saw how bad I was. He laughed and scolded me: "You think this straw mat is much worse than the one sold in the store. I'm afraid it will cost seventy or eighty yuan. He wants to give it to you!"
He frowned: "Is 12,000 yuan more than a year? If you work in a factory, you can earn it in two months!"
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The old bamboo mat has been worn out for many years, and the bamboo strips on the sides are raised, so you can sleep in the middle.
"Then what can I send?"
"We'll eat it when our kid comes back on Monday night!"
The daughter-in-law was still holding half of the crispy fish tail in her hand. She was struggling for a long time: "This business, have you done all this?"
That dried fish tastes so bad!
All nonsense!
"Besides, there's no point keeping you around? I'm learning how to farm, what can we grow in our area? It's better to get off work outside the city and find a wife..."
That is--
It’s only Monday!
Lao Qi was delighted, and stretched out his hand to grab a handful of dried fish: "Come on, come on, bring me the bag and catch some for him."
As soon as Lao Qi opened the package, the unique aroma of fish and shrimp hit his face!
boss:……
Lao Qi didn't know anything about the commotion at other people's houses. He just rushed to the canteen and wiped it with a hanging towel. His face was covered with sweat, and then he smiled and said:
…
Lao Qi sighed: "Don't tell me, the agriculture that Linzi studied at the beginning seems to have no future, but he has developed his vision! Everything sent over here smells bad, and the same goes for that straw mat. The fan was blowing even when I lay down last night. , it’s been a cool night, and I’m sweating!”
Every time I did the slow delivery, someone helped me carry it. That time, Lao Qi also picked up the bag and went home.
In fact, it still hurts. After all, we are still outside the village. We have no money and no limit. The fish and shrimp we sell there are also expensive.
Pickled sauerkraut, a green vegetable of ours, is bad, so the boss always buys a small can, and whoever buys it weighs one and a half kilograms... At this moment, after digging for a long time, he finally took out the plastic can and shouted: "Orchid" , let’s stew pickled fish for lunch!”
"Ouch!" The owner of the hypermarket laughed at me: "He originally said that the kid he picked up was his family, and he had to ask me to keep him as a follower? If the primary school student who was supporting the education came to scold him, he would still do it!"
The person who drives the postal truck over there is an outsider, and he often helps carry other things to the town. It’s convenient to go back to the hypermarket over there to return some tofu or something the next day, and then bring it back.
Lao Qi was half ashamed: "I used to talk like this, and my mouth looks like this, and I am so dull. How do you know that I can't make a profit now? I have to take out a loan to go to elementary school, and I owe the country a debt, which I have to pay off the year after tomorrow... Is he willing?"
Fish and shrimp are also rare there! Lao Qi's surprise this time was less than when he recycled this straw mat!
The owner of the hypermarket is also saying: "Why is that fish so bad?"
The owner of the hypermarket took a couple of strong sniffs.
It is inevitable to want to show off.
