Chapter 9, Splendid Country

Today's lychees are selling very quickly, and with the coming and going of this road, Tang Bu is almost familiar with it. So Libu and Tang Yanmei went home much earlier this time, more than 11:40 and less than 12:00 to return to the village. Tang Aiguo, who had just come down from the mountain to help build the school, was shocked to see Tang Bu and Tang Yanmei come back so early.

Sold out? "Well, it's sold out, today's customers are relatively rich, they are all ten catties, twenty catties, fifty catties bought like this, and more than a thousand catties are sold out at once"

Tang Aiguo laughed back, Tang Bo opened the car door and handed him roast duck, roast pork, beef stew and white wine, "Dad, this is the food I bought, you take it back, I still have iron nets to send to the orchard, I will finish it later, Yanmei and I will go to your house to eat free food... "It's all your family, so you can come over and eat."

By the way, you have a lot of wires, what are you doing with these things? You are not going to raise chickens in the orchard? If this is the case, you have to find some concrete to build this hut, otherwise you won't even know that it was eaten by weasels at night, Tang Aiguo looked at the back of the truck, a few bundles of barbed wire under the basket and said. Listening to Tang Aiguo's words, an inexperienced peasant, Tang Bu nodded seriously?

When I go out tomorrow, I'll come back with a few bags of cement.

Do you need anything else barbed wire, barbed wire, you have it all. The next time you go out, just buy cement, nails and roof iron. I can do the rest with your father, and the two of us, with wood, because after the school is built, your father and I don't have much work to do, so we can help you, Tang Aiguo also smiled and promised that he would help Tang Bu work. Then he took what Tang Bu had given him and went home first. When Tang Aiguo walked away with his things, Tang Wanfu and Tang Wanda also came down from the mountain.

The two of them came down together, Tang Wanda looked at Tang Bu without good spirits, "Kebu, you can't do this, Dad is over there, Dad is over there, how can you choose one over the other?" "Please, uncle, I'm negotiating with my father-in-law. And, this is where I waited for my dad. Dad, this is for you. At noon, Yanmei and I went to my father-in-law's house for dinner. In the evening, we will go to your house for dinner, and he quickly took the cooked food and wine that Tang Yanmei brought from the car, and handed them to him with a smile. ”

You're such a kid! You bought roast chicken yesterday and roast duck today.

And the white wine you bought yesterday, I haven't finished drinking it yet, you bought it again, you are really a waste of money, you just made some money, and then giggled, Tang Wanfu took the things given by Tang Bu, and smiled at his eldest brother Tang Wandao and said: "Brother, it's still at my house at noon, and now the children are not in the village, there are two people in your family and two in my family, there are only four people together, and it's too troublesome for two people to cook... "Well, I happen to be a little bad these days, and today, with the greedy filial piety of the kid Kobu, take a few glasses of wine to drink. ”。

Tang Wanda and Tang Wanfu have always had a good relationship, so in the face of Tang Wanfu's invitation, Tang Wanda did not have any artificial agreement. What was given to the two families, I should also go to his own orchard and unload his things. So after Tang Wanfu and Tang Wanda brothers agreed to eat together at noon, Tang Bu would drive on the road with a smile, "Dad, uncle, Yan Mei and I are going to the orchard, so let's go first." "Okay, then you go and get busy, when you pick lychees in the afternoon, come and call me and your mother, and then we will go to pick with you, more people go to work, Tang Wanfu also took his things and left home with Tang Wanda." Looking back at Tang and Wanda, who had left, he started the car, drove towards his orchard, looked at Tang Yanmei, and said with a smile: "Yanmei, what did you think at first, there are so many orchards in your parents' house, how did you choose this longan tree?" ?

And this longan tree, you still have to wait until next year to start bearing fruit new trees, you choose this year's fruit trees with zero harvest, you are not afraid that I have no brains, you need to follow me for a year of hard work? This land is the dowry that my parents gave me when we got engaged. What else can I choose from my parents' orchard?

Lychee groves are ten or twenty years old, persimmons are ten or twenty years old, and black olives are fifty years old. Those old trees will be basically abandoned in a few years, so what else can I choose but this new longan tree?" "Also, if I choose another fruit tree, it will be inconvenient for you to raise chickens"

Tang Yanmei said that she had taken control of the situation, and now she would not succumb to Tang Bo as before, and now that Tang Bo said her, she dared to reply three words directly. When he heard Tang Yanmei's words, he parked the car at the gate of the orchard, got out of the car, and looked at Tang Yanmei's funny appearance, "You say so, but you can't hide the lychee orchard you want, Mom and Dad didn't give it to you" "You know, you said you just wanted to make fun of me, right?"

You must be laughing at me. Do you think I'm going to be cheeky enough to ask for my brother's stuff? If I wasn't afraid, if I married you, you really don't have a life, you don't have anything to eat, then they won't give this matter tang yanmei immediately lost his previous hard, swollen eyes and lips, and was very angry and complained.

He picked up the lychee that fell on the ground from the car, opened the shell, stuffed the pulp into Tang Yanmei's mouth, then opened the back door of the car, pulled down the barbed wire and barbed wire, and said with a smile, "I'm not laughing at you." When my dad told me, I was very touched. But Dad also said that he didn't want to give us lychee trees, but those trees were really old, he had no bottom, and the tree could continue to bear fruit, and he didn't want us to take over the lychee trees, and the second year was in vain, so... ””

I'm afraid you'll be like someone else says, so I'll ask my parents, they want a lychee tree, and I know you're strong, and I'm not going to open my mouth. And I think our longan tree is also very good, you see the whole two mountains. In the future, we can raise chickens, goats, etc., and when our longan is mature, we can go out and sell longan, or we can sell chickens and goats, how wonderful... Tang Yanmei said, looking at the dowry of his two mountains and looking forward to the future.

Gently hugging Tang Yanhong's waist, Tang Bu pointed to the two mountains, and planned with a smile, "I want to build four or five small cabins on this side of the mountain, fence them with barbed wire, and raise free-range street chickens." On the second mountain, I also plan to make a bigger hut, this mountain I used to keep pigeons, the kind of release that allows them to find food to eat, and they can occasionally release pigeons themselves. At that time, our pigeon and chicken manure could also be used as fertilizer for fruit trees, and our own fruit trees could not be used up, and we could also use them as fruit trees for our parents. Also, we were able to raise fish in the small lake at the foot of the mountain. Anyway, the small lake is on our mountain, and there is no loss. "You have the final say, I will do whatever you say... Libu's plan sounded good, so Tang Yanmei agreed without hesitation. When he heard Tang Yanmei's answer without hesitation, he was stunned for a moment.

He hugged Tang Yanmei and said, "It's nice to be believed, and then we'll have children running around like monkeys... "You're a monkey. Don't call me my baby monkey What did Tang Bo say before, Tang Yanmei wanted to please her, but when she said that her child was a monkey, she shut up. In the face of Tang Yanmei's dissatisfaction, he not only didn't know his mistakes, but also smiled happily and said: "Our children have run all over the mountain all day long. They were thin, short, and dark, like monkeys.

When I sneaked back the year before last, I met my eldest brother's child, good guy, I thought it was some circus monkey who sneaked out and came to the mountain on our side, I almost took the banana to him and tricked him into going up the mountain, hahahaha... "Do you have such an uncle? He's your nephew. Blood is thicker than water. How can you compare him to a monkey? He was just a little dark, a little small, and looked more like his Vietnamese mother... Not to mention, when I saw him in the tree, sometimes he really looked like a monkey, cooing and talking about Don Bo's nephew, Tang Yanmei remembered how the little guy climbed the tree, and Tang Hong's brother Tang Hong, who was five years older than Tang Bo, started crying. He was an honest man from the country.

He is the kind of person who only works, only listens to arrangements, has no emotional intelligence and no self-determination.

EQ is zero, but this guy is very lucky. While this guy was studying outside, he was chased by a group of girls from junior high school to secondary school, but this idiot didn't know what other people were always pestering him to do. When he went to work after graduation, the female workers found that he never went out to play. Plus, he's not ugly. They often want to get along with him. Therefore, he insisted on saving money for his parents to live a good life. He even refused to give his girlfriend, a bag of soy milk for 50 cents, and I was so angry that I didn't want to get near him.

I don't know what happened after that, but in the year he was about to graduate, when he was 22 years old, the piece of wood suddenly came to his senses and brought back a little foreign black girl, after which the whole family objected, saying that they were afraid that the Vietnamese girl would run away. As a result, he ran away with them, and when he came back, he had already fled, and when he met him a few years later, after the child was born, he had a little nephew who was black, and the big man could not say anything but acquiesce, so not long after, Tang Hong, the elder brother of the Tang Ministry, married the Vietnamese girl.

After that, the couple went to work in the city, only taking time off work to help when the fruit was ripe or when a lot of weeding and pesticides were needed. Otherwise, it's hard to see them.

That's right, I almost forgot to mention their children. Their child is almost six years old this year. The school in the mountain village has recently been blown down by the wind and has not yet been repaired, so the little ones are now sent to the boarding school at the foot of the mountain, just like the children in the village. Recalling my memories of my brother and his family, he smiled and took Tang Yanmei back to the car. Let's go back to my parents' house for dinner. We could take a nap after dinner. We still have to get up at 3pm to pick lychees."

Well, as you wish, you are the head of the family, you do what you say, sleep when you say ... Tang Yanmei's intimacy with Uncle Tang was almost to the point of not being able to help it. She is attracted to anything that is good for her, so in the last days of her marriage, she has been fulfilling her dreams. After taking Tang Yanmei into the truck, he started the car and drove directly to his father-in-law, Tang Aiguo. When he was passing by his parents' house, Tang Bu unexpectedly found that there were quite a few people in his parents' house, in addition to his parents and uncles and aunts, there were two voices. "Xiaobu, Gao Mei, your brother and sister-in-law are back, come in and sit... He shouted. "Oh, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are back, so you have to go in and sit... ”

Hearing his father's words, Tang Bu hurriedly parked the car, and then followed Tang Yanmei and Tang Wanfu into the house. As soon as he and Tang Yanmei walked into the room, his uncle and aunt greeted them warmly: "Oh, Takabe, Takami, you are here. I would have liked to call you at your orchard.

We're going to raise chickens in the orchard. When we went to sell lychees in the morning, we bought a cart of barbed wire with thorns and pulled it up. When he turned around and smiled at his uncle and aunt, and asked Tang Yanmei to help his mother, he walked up to his brother Tang Hong, sat down and said with a smile: "How can you come back this time, doesn't your logistics company also have an off-season?"

"Why do you come back at this time, I come back at this time of year to help pick lychees. What is your situation this year, not to mention that you suddenly came back to get married, or sold lychees by yourself. And then you come back, can't you call me and tell me not to take ten days off for nothing, and then come back and do nothing? Tang Hong had a disgusted expression on his face. Tang Bu, who knew his eldest brother, was not angry at all, but put his arm around his shoulders and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that you will have nothing to do when you go home?" ?

Man, are you kidding? Lychee trees, when I ran out of lychees and needed to be pruned, and your brother, I now have two hilltops dedicated to chickens and pigeons, and I need to build a dozen log cabins, and barbed wire fences and stuff like that.

You don't have to worry about doing nothing, you still have a lot of work to do Tang Hong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw his father Tang Wanfu, frowned slightly and asked: "Separated? "" Separate. You used to provide for your brother's education, so this time he divided the house and gave you the rest of the orchard. Also, this year's lychee, we also gave your brother four yuan a catty, and when your brother has no lychees, Tang Wanfu discussed it with Tang Bu, and then Tang Hong asked him directly, even if Tang Hong didn't ask now, Tang Wanfu would tell him tonight.
