Chapter 37 The Difficulty of Supporting a Family

In fact, the rickshaw first appeared for the convenience of people who didn't want to walk, but Lin Baitang is now sitting in a rickshaw, and he didn't feel that he didn't say anything, but felt that the whole person was about to stiffen, and after listening to them at this time, he said with a wry smile: "Where have I ever sat in a car pulled by people, I am always afraid that I will disturb you if I move, and now I am uncomfortable anywhere, so it is better to walk." ”

Jia Zhong has pulled the car for a few years, and he rarely heard such words, and he was a little amused for a while: "Madam, we are eating with this, if we all think like you, we won't be able to live." ”

Zhen Er also echoed: "Yes, madam, you lean back a little bit, make yourself comfortable first, then the wheels will be hard, and I will run faster." ”

Lin Baitang listened to their words, slowly moved back a little, and Jia Zhong persuaded again: "Madam, you can sit at ease, let's get up in the future, isn't it common for you to go out and take the car, let's get used to it slowly." ”

They were well-intentioned, but the more they said this, the more Lin Baitang couldn't relax, or Meng Zhenghui saw that she was really uncomfortable sitting down, and Wen Sheng proposed: "If you don't get used to it, or let's go down for a walk?"

Lin Baitang was waiting for this sentence, but he was not too embarrassed to say it himself, for fear that the coachman would think that they were not pulling well, and when he heard Meng Zhenghui speak, he nodded his head and agreed.

The down-to-earth feeling has never made Lin Baitang feel so good, she walked a few steps by herself, only felt comfortable all over, and the wind was blowing under her feet, just watching Meng Zhenghui get out of the car and walk with her, a little embarrassed: "I'm a poor man, I can't get used to this thing, but it hurts you to walk with me." ”

"Otherwise, sit back again. ”

Meng Zhenghui didn't agree with Lin Baitang's statement about the poor and the rich, and shook his head and said: "It doesn't have much to do with the poor and the rich, but your empathy is a little strong, so you don't fit in." ”

Lin Baitang heard these three words for the first time, and inevitably became a little curious about this new term: "Empathy?"

Meng Zhenghui explained to her: "To put it simply, when you see others suffering, you will subconsciously put yourself into their role, and at the same time, you will feel sad and hard for them. ”

Lin Baitang listened, no matter how he listened to it, he felt like the kind of person he sang in the drama, the eldest lady who was in the courtyard of the deep mansion and didn't know the suffering of the world, and took pity on others with herself, said with a bitter face: "I don't think I'm such a person." ”

She was still afraid that Meng Zhenghui would not believe it, so she paused and added: "I can kill rabbits and sheep." ”

Instead, she said Meng Zhenghui a little helplessly, and when she was still thinking about how to explain it more easily, Jia Zhong happened to say out loud: "Master Meng, madam, we are here." ”

Meng Zhenghui answered, then took two steps to catch up with the front to look, and then stopped standing in place with just one glance.

How do you describe what you see?

Spectacular?

Brother Tiger is also sincere, what he said is not an exaggeration, this land has been idle for too many years, and houses have been built on the left and right, only a lot of weeds have grown on this land, lush, as soon as the wind blows, those weeds will squirm, Meng Zhenghui is not short, but he came closer to compare, and the high place can not even exceed people's chests.

Lin Baitang never expected that there would be such a place in such a prosperous city that was completely enough to be called a wasteland, and couldn't help but sigh: "The grass on this piece of land, even if all the grass is beaten down for the sheep to eat, is enough for three months." ”

I don't know how the surrounding merchants endured this patch of barren grass next to their shop.

Jia Zhong usually passes by this place a lot, but it is the first time he has stopped to examine this place carefully, and when he looks at it, his face can't help but be happy, and he almost looks at Meng Zhenghui in disbelief: "Is this land all ours?"

The feeling of getting the title deed and really going to the place is still very different, Meng Zhenghui nodded and suppressed the agitation in his heart, and then held his forehead with some distress: "I'm afraid our car dealer will have to wait for a while, this place is really a bit barren beyond my imagination, just to clean up, I'm afraid it will take half a month." ”

His family had taken over wasteland before, but in order to sell it at a good price when they were sold, they would regularly apply a little herbicide, at least they would not let the weeds settle down like this, and this was the first time he had seen such a wasteland that was completely left alone.

Jia Zhong is much more optimistic than him, and he is also happy at this time, and he is very active in helping to find a way: "No, call our brothers over, and it will be over in three or two days." ”

Just by speaking, he had already straightened his waist, and the joy on his face was overflowing: "Such a big place will be ours in the future, then there is no bigger car shop than us in the whole Tianjin." ”

Meng Zhenghui first glanced at Lin Baitang, and after seeing her nodding, he said: "It's okay, it's okay to work by yourself, and when the time comes, I will give you money at the market price." ”

When he said this, Jia Zhong's smile was accepted, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Meng Ye, aren't you slapping us in the face, what do you want to do, can you still help if you can help our brothers, besides, the car dealership was built and it was also for us, and you also sent us a car, if we even clean up such a big place, we still collect your money, then what will we become." ”

Zhen Er nodded beside him: "Don't need money, just take care of the food." ”

Meng Zhenghui wanted to say something more, but looking at the expressions of Jia Zhong and Zhen Er, he had no choice but to respond: "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

**

The car dealership is full of old men, and this little work is done. Meng Zhenghui and Lin Baitang were still planning for the future layout, and they didn't say a word, and the people in the car dealership over there had already brought sickles and shovels to prepare the land.

Almost everyone who comes over will sigh, such a big land.

Meng Zhenghui was still worried that this place was too big and everyone would be too busy, but when he saw that Jia Zhong had already led them to cut the grass, he shouted to them proudly while cleaning up: "In the future, our car dealership will be the largest in Tianjin!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone felt that there was light on their faces, and they all showed more energy.

A few people worked very quickly, Meng Zhenghui and Lin Baitang could gradually see the outline of this land, and when they were discussing how to distribute the land in the future, they saw a man who was almost forty years old walking over and asked carefully: "Master Meng, do you still want these wild grasses and wild vegetables?"

Meng Zhenghui glanced in the direction he pointed out, and what caught his eye was a bunch of neat bundles of weeds and wild vegetables, which were originally about to be lost, so he subconsciously replied: "Don't do it." ”

The man said, "Can that... Let me bring some back to feed the chickens and pigs?" and hurriedly added: "The daughter-in-law of the family is in confinement, so she points to the hen to lay eggs to supplement nutrition, but the land in the city is precious, where there are such good wild grasses and wild vegetables, the chicken can only eat some millet insects, the millet people are reluctant to eat, give it, it lays eggs are getting smaller and smaller, if there are these wild vegetables, how can it be fed a few meals, and give my daughter-in-law a good supplement." ”

Meng Zhenghui had never been exposed to these, and it was the first time he knew that this little wild vegetable still had such a use, and he was surprised, but also a little embarrassed by the family situation that was gently brought over in these few words: "Okay, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, just ask Jia Zhong." After thinking about it, he added: "You also tell them that we can't use these things in the first place, so if any of you can use them, just take them." ”

The man happily arched his hand to the two: "Eh, thank you Meng Ye, thank you Mrs." ”

Seeing the man happily rubbing the straw rope to bundle up the piles of weeds and weeds, Meng Zhenghui suddenly understood why Lin Baitang deliberately reminded him once, hoping that he could treat these coachmen who followed them well.

On the one hand, it is because these people are the most simple and the most gracious, and on the other hand, it is also because they do not represent themselves, these old and young men, each of whom has a family on their shoulders.

Meng Zhenghui used to stand far away from them, so he didn't look at them, and he couldn't see these truest appearances, but now this point was made up for by Lin Baitang for him.

**

Not long after this incident, Meng Zhenghui saw the crowd gathering together to discuss something, Meng Zhenghui was curious, so he beckoned Jia Zhong: "Jia Zhong, what's wrong?"

Jia Zhong went over to take a look, and after a while, he came back with a hand full of small black beads, and said happily: "They found some fruits that they used to eat as snacks when they were children, and they put them together and said that they picked a little more, so that I could give them to Meng Ye and Mrs. to taste as well." ”

Meng Zhenghui had never seen this fruit, Lin Baitang knew a lot about these things, and he came over and tasted it: "This is a young bean." ”

As she spoke, she twisted another grain and put it in her mouth, looking at Meng Zhenghui's strange eyes, she explained: "You can eat it directly, you don't have to cook it, and it tastes very good." ”

Meng Zhenghui said helplessly: "I know you can eat it, but you should at least wash it." ”

Meng Zhenghui wasn't worried about Jia Zhong's dirty hands or anything, but he thought that this place had been idle for a few years, and there must be a lot of dust, grass and insects......

Just having such a small thought, Meng Zhenghui didn't dare to think about it.

Fortunately, Lin Baitang didn't know what Meng Zhenghui was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "Get used to it." ”

Jia Zhong was very clever, and when he heard Meng Zhenghui say Lin Baitang's words, he ran away with a handful of young beans in his hand, and after a while, he ran back with wet hands, "Master Meng, you can also taste it." ”

The small purple-black fruit is even more beautiful when it is stained with water, and the water is smart, which makes people have an appetite at a glance.

Meng Zhenghui just cared about Lin Baitang, but forgot that Jia Zhong was beside him, and now he saw that he specially ran to wash it, and he was also a little embarrassed, so he first thanked him, and then took the young beans from Jia Zhong's hand.

The size of this little fruit was very small, no bigger than half a woman's little finger, and when you bite it lightly with the tip of your teeth, the abundant juice bursts in your mouth, and the sweet and sour taste overflows your mouth.

The taste of this thing is much better than Meng Zhenghui imagined, so he nodded very agreeably: "The taste is indeed very good." As he spoke, he habitually thought in the direction of a businessman: "If you can make jam, there must be a good market." ”

Lin Baitang hit him: "Think about it, this thing is expensive, it is similar to the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuangguan, the green ones can't be eaten, and they will fall off when they are ripe, so they can only be picked carefully one by one." ”

She pointed to a few people who were still busy in the distance: "Just what you look at, you can't tell how much effort people have put into it." ”
