XXVII. Finding out
"Haha...... I think you have everything here, so I can't help but buy it. Qiu Ge also smiled embarrassedly.
"Aren't you a local, too? this thing is new to you?" the woman asked again.
"I'll tell you the truth, I've only just come back, I grew up here when I was a child, but I rarely come back after school, so I don't know much about the things in my hometown, and I rarely see such good things. ”
"I think there's something wrong with your old man?"
"Yes, he's got Alzheimer's, and now he's forgotten a lot of things. ”
"You are very good to him, I see that you are very careful when you take care of him, and when you get out of the car, you still carry him and wipe his mouth, you are very careful. ”
"Hehehe, my own father, normal practice. ”
"It's not like that, it's rare to be able to do something like you, many people are impatient when it comes to taking care of the elderly, and you're doing a good job. ”
The woman and Qiu Ge also chatted, talking about taking care of the elderly, and she also took some wild fruits that she picked for the old man and Qiu Ge to eat, and she was also a very virtuous and gentle woman.
More than an hour later, Wang Miao, Yu Chao and Hu Yongli returned, and the wild boar was also dismembered into large pieces of meat.
When Wang Miao and the others were loading, Qiu Ge and Hu Yongli began to settle the bill, counting the pheasants for a total of more than 10,000 yuan, Qiu Ge transferred it to Hu Yongli with WeChat.
"I didn't expect you to have a cell phone signal here. Qiu Ge said.
"Yes, there is a signal tower not far from here, and Boss Du can call me if you need anything in the future." ”
"That's okay, I'll always contact you in the future, I live in Lingdu River. ”
While the two were talking, the woman carried another bag and said to Qiu Ge: "This is honey, I have so much here, take it back and give it to the old man to drink." ”
"Ouch, thank you, how much, I'll transfer it to you again. Qiu Ge said and took out his mobile phone to transfer money.
"It's for you, don't want money. The woman hurriedly said.
"What's the matter? It's not easy for you, how can I take it for nothing?"
"Oh, Boss Du is polite, this is the honey made by the bees raised by my father-in-law, it's not anything valuable, don't mention the money. Hu Yongli said as he took the bag from his daughter-in-law and put it in the car directly.
Qiu Ge said a few more polite words, then said goodbye to Hu Yongli and them, and drove back, but it took more than two hours to get home; all the way they endured the smell of pork, pig offal, and wild pheasants, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, and the windows were open.
After getting out of the car, several people gasped for breath, only the old man didn't care much, and smiled at them.
At noon, Yu Chao made wild boar meat and let everyone taste it first; Qiu Ge felt really good, and his confidence was enhanced, at least he couldn't give Liu Zheng something bad.
In the afternoon, Wang Miao took them to the reservoir again, where he bought three or four catties of fine-scale fish and six or seven catties of sturgeon;
After they came back, they began to pack; a hundred catties of wild boar meat were packed, and three tables of banquet should be enough; the rest of Qiu Ge was divided among Wang Miao, Yu Chao, Liu Gang's family, and Lao Matou's family; Yu Chao didn't take it, his reason was that he only ate here, and what else did he take it for? Qiu Ge didn't force him.
In addition to pork and fish, Qiu Ge also prepared ingredients such as mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, wild fungus, and matsutake mushrooms, which were packed and brought to Liu Zheng on a truck transporting vegetables.
After Lu Di sent the goods away, he used WeChat to tell Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng was so happy that he could ask for credit from his father again.
After finishing this matter, Zhuan Tianwang Miao and Yu Chao went to collect the mountain goods again, and Qiu Ge stayed at home and waited for the people who came to the door to sell the mountain goods.
At nine o'clock in the morning, he was trading with two people who came to sell goods, when three people came to the door, and when they entered the gate, a woman stepped forward and asked, "Is Yu Chao here?"
"He's not at home, he's out, what are you looking for him?" Qiu Ge asked without looking up.
"We've found something, when will he come back?"
"It's noon. ”
"Can we wait for him here?"
"Ah, but... , is it you, you?" Qiu Ge looked up and saw that he actually knew him.
"Is it you? is your home?" the other party was also stunned.
It was Chen Yongxiang and his wife who were blasted out when Qiu Ge came to invite them, and the woman in her twenties, and it was the woman who was talking now.
"Yes, this is my home, please come in, please come in. Qiu Ge stood up and said politely.
"We're ......, let's go wait outside, right?"
"Oh, it's all home, how can I still let you wait outside the door? Isn't it just looking for Yu Chao? Come in and wait, I'll call him now." After Qiu Ge finished speaking, he really called, urging Yu Chao and them to come back quickly.
"How long will he be back?" the woman asked again, seeing Qiu Ge put down the phone.
"Twenty or thirty minutes, they're not far from here, come in, I'll pour you water." ”
"Hey, no, no, we're not thirsty, I'm sorry for what happened last time, my grandfather has a bad temper. The woman apologized to Qiu Ge in a whisper.
"Alas, it's me who should apologize, I really shouldn't have uncovered your scars, I'm sorry, please forgive me, let your grandfather and grandma come in and sit, I promise not to mention that incident again." ”
"Well, thank you for your understanding. The woman went over and led the two old men to a table set up in the courtyard and sat down on a chair.
Qiu Ge poured water, took some fruit, and then he went to work again, and he couldn't let the customer wait for a long time.
After sending off the people who sold mountain goods, Qiu Ge came over and talked to Chen Yongxiang and the others: "I'm sorry, there are people who come to sell goods, but I didn't entertain a few." ”
"It's okay to say that we're sorry to come to the door, we really didn't expect to come to your house, you are okay, you didn't blow us out. Old man Chen Yongxiang said.
"Old man, I was reckless last time, I really shouldn't have bothered at your house, you can forgive me, and today is really a coincidence, I can let you come to my house, and I will take the opportunity to solemnly apologize to you, I'm sorry." Qiu Ge bowed to others.
"Since you know about our family, you're wrong, but if you apologize, forget it, and we don't care. ”
"Thank you, I promise I won't bother again. ”
"Young people, we did have painful experiences, so don't blame us, we really don't want to reminisce about the past. Chen Yongxiang's wife said.
"I have absolutely no heart to blame, I only feel guilty and sorry. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let me ask you, what is Yu Chao doing at your house?" asked Chen Yongxiang.
"Oh, I collect mountain goods and vegetables here, and I need a helper, and he is helping me now. ”
"Why don't young people go out to work?"
"The elderly, they can earn money at the doorstep, who still goes out to work?"
"But I heard that something happened to him and he was sentenced. ”
"Who did you listen to? Why don't I know?" Qiu Ge didn't tell the truth, because he didn't want to expose Yu Chao's privacy.
"Who doesn't know anything about these ten miles and eight towns?"
"Old man, you are bringing your granddaughter on a blind date, do you want to touch the details of Yu Chao? Is someone saying bad things about Yu Chao to you? Don't believe it, Yu Chao, this young man is definitely a good person, and he is also a good person with affection and righteousness; I can't do without him here. "Qiu Ge really regarded Chen Yongxiang and them as blind dates.
"So you have a good impression of Chao?"
"Of course it's good, I'm planning to hire him for a long time, and he's well paid. ”
"How much can I give?" the woman asked with a smile.
"I can't say that, but I'll make sure he's satisfied. "Qiu Ge can't talk nonsense, in case he messes up other people's good things again.
"You don't know about the sentencing?" Chen Yongxiang asked again.
"I don't know, but I think even if it is sentenced, it should be seen why, there are many people who commit crimes because of negligence, not subjectively, and there are people who commit crimes because they do someone else's favor, and they are simply confused, and they may not even know it. ”
"You're quite enlightened, young man, have you always lived here? I know almost all the people who collect mountain goods in this area, why haven't I seen or heard of you?"
"Oh, I'm in my first year doing this job, and I'm new from out of town, and my parents are old residents of this village. Qiu Ge said.
Today, my father didn't come out of the house, and my mother and Lu Di were also in the house, so I don't know what they were doing, so Qiu Ge was the only one outside.
"I said, I also run the mountains all the year round, and I want to sell the mountain goods at a good price, so I have seen all the buyers here;
"I'm ...... here" Before Qiu Ge could be introduced, a car drove in outside the courtyard, and Wang Miao and Yu Chao came back.
"It's Yu Chao who is back. The woman stood up and said, her words filled with excitement.
"Sister Xiaobo, is that you? Why are you here?" asked Yu Chao as he jumped out of the car and ran over.
"I, I'll bring my grandfather and grandmother over to thank you. The woman said.
"Oh, thank you, I'm fine now, fine. Yu Chao said indifferently.
"You're ...... because of me"
"Yu Chao, this is not a place to entertain people, you take a few guests upstairs to say. Qiu Ge interrupted the woman's words, because he dared to feel that the relationship between these people and Yu Chao might be special, and there were some things that should not be said outside.
"Hey, second brother, then let's go up first. Yu Chao took the three of them to the living room above the new house.
After coming in, the woman named Xiaobo immediately said, "Yu Chao, you can't work in the city because of me, I'm really sorry for you." ”
"Sister Xiaobo, you don't have to blame yourself, I did this voluntarily, I was also dizzy at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have hurt those people, but I don't regret it, if I don't teach them a few lessons, they will harm others. ”
"Child, if you save Xiaobo, we will repay you, you say, if you need anything, we will promise you everything we can. Chen Yongxiang said.
"Grandpa Chen, I don't want to repay, I said that I did it voluntarily, and I didn't want to repay it. ”
"But we can't do nothing, and that makes us feel bad. ”
"Grandpa Chen, I really don't need to, I'm living a good life now, although it's a probation period, but the second brother's family is very good to me, I'm better here than working in the city." ”
"This family is really good? It's common sense to be rich and unkind, haven't you been bullied by them?" Chen Yongxiang stared at Yu Chao and asked, he wanted to touch Qiu Ge's bottom line.
