In Zhoukou Village in southern Fujian, Wang Jin's mother stood at the entrance of the village and looked out.
Wang Jin's father walked out and sighed: "Okay, come back first. They will definitely come..."
Wang Jin's mother hesitated for a moment, then turned around: "I was just thinking that I had never retired before and couldn't find a partner. I just came back from retirement and ended up going to work again. When can I find a partner?"
Wang Jin's father is also worried: "But what if he is worried? The conditions at home are like this. Before several of his younger brothers and sisters got married, our family already owed a lot of debt. If he hadn't brought back some money from retirement, we would have I can’t survive at home.”
Wang Jin's mother sighed: "It's okay now. I heard his boss gave him a good salary. I just think it's good to make some money, but it would be even better if he could bring back a wife. By the way, he should be here these days. If I want to come back, do you think I should go find Matchmaker Ding?"
"you……"
Didi's voice came, and the two of them were immediately overjoyed: "Looks like he's here."
Their village was already remote, and if it weren't for Su He's company's car, there would be almost no other cars coming.
Not many people come here, and not everyone can buy a car.
The last time Su He and the others drove over, it caused a sensation in the area.
The car had already driven in, and the two people quickly followed the car back. Zhai Liang greeted the two elders in the car.
Wang Jin’s father waved: “Drive back directly, no need to stop. We’ll be there in just two steps.”
When they got home, Wang Jin's mother kept looking at the car. However, when Zhai Liang and the others came down, they never saw Wang Jin.
Zhai Liang was a little embarrassed. Looking at Wang Jin's mother's expectant eyes, he hesitated and said: "Well, Wang Jin said that no one else can come back often, and he is not an exception. The boss thought about it and decided that I and He's responsible for one truck and he'll be back next time."
Wang Jin's mother was a little disappointed. She was still thinking about whether she should ask the matchmaker if there was a suitable candidate this time.
As a result, he didn't come back.
Wang Jin's father patted his wife: "Don't be like this, at least he can come back several times a month. Other colleagues are not like this."
Even if Wang Jin comes back every time, others probably won't care too much.
But Wang Jin still tried his best not to do this, lest others get emotional.
"Besides, won't you come back next time? Driving is very tiring, and it will take more than a day to drive over there. You don't want your son to be too tired, right?"
After Wang Jin's father enlightened him, Wang Jin's mother accepted it: "That's true, it's not good to stay up late and drive all the time."
Seeing that Wang Jin's mother had recovered, Zhai Liang smiled and put forward a large bag of things and said, "This is what Wang Jin asked me to bring back. It is a specialty from Nanzhu Village. There are also snacks made by our Jiuding Restaurant." , the taste is particularly good.”
Wang Jin's mother took it, tears almost coming out again.
Wang Jin's father sighed and saw that there were a lot of things on the trailer of the truck. He was a little surprised: "Why did you bring so many things?"
Zhai Liang smiled and said: "That's right. The boss said that it's not easy to come here. It's always bad to run empty. So he asked us to bring some specialties from Nanzhu Village. This time there are some fresh winter bamboo shoots and some fresh Let’s see if there is a market for the baby cabbage. Make some money back so that you don’t waste gas on empty trips, right?”
Wang Jin's father came over to take a look: "Hey, these cabbages are beautiful. These winter bamboo shoots are also good. We are near the sea here, and such big winter bamboo shoots are rare."
After thinking for a while, Wang Jin's father said: "There should be a market, but at this price?"
Zhai Liang said: "The winter bamboo shoots are cheaper, but not the Chinese cabbage. Our boss grows it in a greenhouse. It costs a lot of investment in plastic film and labor. Sometimes you have to light a fire to prevent the cabbage from freezing. At this price Like meat.”
Wang Jin's father took a breath when he heard that it was the same as meat.
They don't even want to eat meat, so they buy cabbage at the same price as meat?
Hai Liang laughed: "Uncle, look at it, every time we come to buy seafood, don't you have a lot of income? Now that you have money, it's not enough to keep saving it. You have to consume it, and consumption promotes economic growth. Besides, it’s better for yourself, isn’t it?”
Zhai Liang pulled Hai Liang and signaled him to stop talking.
"Uncle, I don't mean anything else. He just listened to some economic theories from our boss and is here to satisfy himself. Don't listen to him."
Zhai Liang glared at Hai Liang, and then continued: "What the boss is talking about is at the macro level, on a large scale, and has nothing to do with our small family. By the way, uncle, has the seafood been salvaged here?"
Wang Jin's father ignored what Hai Liang said. No matter what he said, he would not buy it anyway.
It’s the same price as meat, so how much does it cost?
Wouldn’t it be nice to save some money and buy something for the New Year?
"The seafood has been caught, but it's fine this winter and not so easy to spoil. But what will happen in the summer?"
After a pause, Wang Jin's father laughed again: "But I often go to sea in the summer, and there is a lot of seafood, so I don't have to worry."
Zhai Liang remembered what Su He said and said quickly: "By the way, uncle. This time we brought some saltpeter. The boss said, I will teach you how to use saltpeter to make ice. Whether it is winter or summer, freeze it with ice cubes. Let’s keep it for a few more days.”
Wang Jin's father was a little hesitant. This is a skill he has.
This ice-making craft can make a lot of money in the summer.
Zhai Liang told him with a smile: "It's okay, it's also convenient for our seafood. Come on, uncle, I'll tell you how to make ice. This stuff is also poisonous, but you have to be careful. When making ice, we separate the containers. Made here..."
Wang Jin's mother hurriedly went to cook. This person came all the way, not only tired, but also hungry.
After a while, several of Wang Jin's younger brothers and sisters came back. It happened that Zhai Liang asked Hai Liang to bring a large bowl of cabbage and winter bamboo shoots to cook for Wang Jin's mother.
"Mom, where did this cabbage come from? It's delicious. Can our family grow cabbage this winter? You can bring some back to me to eat later." Wang Jin's sister said.
Wang Jin's mother rolled her eyes: "Don't think about that beautiful thing. This is grown in a greenhouse. This is what people brought here to sell."
Brother Wang Jin said, "Mom, let's just buy some."
"Do you think this is ordinary cabbage?"
"Is not it?"
Wang Jin's mother shook her head: "This is grown in a greenhouse. The investment in the greenhouse is very high. It is said that the price is the same as pork. I can't afford it anyway. If they don't have to eat it themselves, how can they get it?" If you want to make it for me, I won’t buy it.”
"Mom, they live in our house, what's wrong with giving them some cabbage?"
"Shut up!"
