Chapter Eighty-Eight, Consumption?
"Mom, Dad, why aren't you at home?"
"Your dad set up a stall on Fairy Mountain. I'll call him right away and ask him to come back quickly," Zhao Hongfang finished speaking and began to call. Wu Qingyun stretched out his hand, he was about to stop, but he couldn't think of it, it turned out that he was going to find his father, but his mother's hand was too fast, and he pulled it out. "Your father will be back soon. Wait a minute. "Sit down, I'll wash the fruit for you" "Mom, sit down, let me come." Fortunately, I brought some fruit back this time, you can try it" Wu Qingyun smiled and hugged his mother back, and then pulled her to the stool next to him and sat down. Zhao Hongfang smiled, didn't say anything, and nodded.
Wu Qingyun opened a bag and took out a bag of fruit that had just been taken out. Wu Qingyun took a few dragon fruits from the inside out, so the fruits in the south, although they don't taste the best, are still difficult for ordinary people to eat in their place. Although there are supermarkets to buy, few people in this country are willing to buy food. Therefore, Wu Qingyun specially put some southern fruits into the bag this time, so that the old mother could also taste them.
When Wu Qingyun walked in with the dragon fruit, he was looking for the kitchen room by room, and when he opened a door, suddenly he saw a dog barking inside, and it was still grinning at Wu Qingyun, as if I was going to bite you if you came in again. Huzi, Xiaoyun, have you been bitten Wu Qingyun still didn't make a sound, and then saw Zhao Hongfang running over, and pulled Wu Qingyun to check together, until she saw that he was okay, she patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, she turned around, cursed at the tiger, and then took out a rope to tie it up, as if she was afraid that it would bite Wu Qingyun. You know, in the country, with a dog, very few people will tie it up and usually let it run around. Seeing the melancholy in Baizi's eyes, he also shook his head.
Baizi said in his heart, I am just in charge of the house, there is nothing wrong, why should the master himself. It's so frustrating. He was sympathetic to Baizi, but he didn't say anything at the time, and now the guests are still waiting. Come back and play with him when you have time. Wu Qingyun took the dragon fruit to clean it, and then, only then did he find a knife, then put it on a plate and was taken out.
"Mom, Gangzi, come here, fresh dragon fruit, come and taste it" Wu Qingyun cut two dragon fruits in front of them. Dragon fruit is average, and there is not much taste after cutting, but Wu Qingyun's dragon fruit has a fragrance after being cut, so never eat dragon fruit, and there are red teeth to drool.
When it came to Gangzi, who had been working outside for a few years, he happened to see Wu Qingyun, but he didn't say anything more, although he felt that this dragon fruit was a little different from what they had eaten before, but he didn't think too much about it. He will only think that he is eating ordinary fruits, maybe those special fruits are different. "Yes, that's good. Very good. I'll leave some for your dad so he can try it later."
"No, Mom, I still have. If you like, you can call me directly. It reminds me a lot. When Dad came back, I would help him cut it Don't look at Dad and Mom, they often quarrel, but Wu Qingyun can see that they have a good relationship. While they may never have said "I love you" to each other in their lives, their relationship is better than those who say "I love you" every day, and I don't know how many generations to hold on. I don't know why, at this time, Wu Qingyun was a little sad, and he couldn't help but think of his ex-girlfriend.
Even though he hadn't thought of her in a long time, he remembered how sweet they were when they were together. went to the ends of the earth, but was knocked down by the fact that she eloped with someone else. But Wu Qingyun didn't show his sense of loss, he didn't want his mother to worry.
Although he had been smiling, his heart was a little sad at the moment. Wu Qingyun and they didn't talk for a long time, Wu Qingyun saw his father riding a tricycle back, and some goods were also put in the carriage, in addition to some food, there were some handicrafts, most of which were made of bamboo. Although their village used to be poor, they have been living on their own for thousands of years, so adults are usually proficient in the art of bamboo, and they can weave dustpans or baskets for their families. Many children in the city did not have toys when they were young.
It was their grandfather or father who made some toys for them out of bamboo. In the past, these things weren't worth much, but in the last few years, they've been worth a lot of money. Especially when the climbers in the city come, they see the exquisite bamboo crafts one by one and think it's fun, so many people will bring one or two back, whether it's to make decorations or play with children at home, it's good. In addition, in modern society, handicrafts are becoming more and more expensive, although it is not necessarily better than machines. Li Youde is usually at home, in addition to doing some farm work, he also makes some small things to buy. But when he heard that his son was back, he was busy making money.
Just standing there, riding a tricycle back. Wu Qingyun, who was far away from home, had sharp eyes and found that his father looked like he was in a hurry to go home, but when he arrived at the door, he made a look of indifference. When he came in and saw Wu Qingyun, he just smiled and said to him, "You're back!" Why did you come back so early this year? "That's how men are. Many times, they don't know how to express their feelings, and they are not as sentimental as women.
"Dad, I'm back. Have a seat. I left you some fruit. I'll get it for you. "Uncle Yodek" "Gangzi is coming". Don't have a sports car today? "I just pulled Qingyun today, it's not, I sent him back, I don't plan to run, as a long rest" So, Qingyun, Gangzi pulled you back so far, there is no fare" Wu Qingyun didn't say anything yet, Gangzi was the first to say: "Uncle, what are you talking about, you didn't slap me in the face, if I had already received the young man's fare, there would be a face to walk to the door." If I hadn't met him, it wouldn't matter. If I knew, I would have learned something. Wu Qingyun didn't mention the fare at first, not to mention, he was insatiable, he knew what he said, but it hurt Gangzi's heart. The result is the same. He's not going to take his money. As a result, now Li Youde didn't ask once, he was very excited.
"I'm sorry, okay, I was wrong, either accept it or not, but today Qingyun is back, come over and have a drink with him tonight" "Haha, uncle, of course I can have this, even if you don't tell me, I must have the face to come at night. Qingyun, you just came back, and I'm sure you still have something to say to your uncle and aunt, so I won't delay you any longer. I'm going home now and I'll be back later. Okay, thank you for coming tonight, I invite you to have a drink, and if you don't come, don't regret it. Ha ha. Well, see you later. Liu Zhigang smiled and got up to leave.
"Wait a minute. Take these fruits back to your parents to taste. Don't refuse, it's not a good thing, it's just a taste "Okay, I want it" Gangzi saw the fruit bag that Wu Qingyun sent to him, and he felt it. It's about 10 pounds. That's it. That's enough money for a bus ride, but he doesn't have to be such a bastard. He just took it. After seeing Gangzi drive away, Wu Qingyun returned home with his parents. Because the house is newly built, Wu Qingyun is not familiar with it at all, so. At this time, Hongfang even moved Wu Qingyun's luggage to the second floor. People here like to live upstairs, the first floor is too damp and not good for health, so, in general, the first floor is not inhabited and is used as a storage room. One of the advantages of the countryside is that the homestead is large. In the past, their old house only occupied an area of two to three hundred square meters. And that's not even counting the little courtyards.
Otherwise, they have 500 square meters. But now that the new house has been built, the area is not so large. But he took a look, and the ground floor was at least 250 square meters, and if this was placed in the city, he didn't know how much it would cost to buy it. But in the countryside, he built such a house, the third floor, with a total area of more than 700 square meters, and it cost only more than half a million in total. Lee didn't want it to be that big. After all, it takes money.
So, Wu Qingyun found out and called him, saying that he must repair it bigger, and he didn't have to worry about the money, after all, the state's management of rural housing is becoming more and more strict. It might be easier the first time. It's not so easy to pass later. Of course, they did not occupy arable land, two or built on the basis of old houses, although the area was slightly larger, usually no one would come to trouble them, when they were built several times, it is difficult to say. Because the current rule is that a family can only own one homestead.
