The next morning, as soon as Qiao Nan opened his eyes, he saw a text message from Miss Wen. For nothing else, just to remind him not to forget to apply a hot towel to his eyes.

The message was sent at three o'clock in the morning, and Miss Wen hadn't slept so late. Qiao Nan replied, "Do you think I can't sleep?"

As a result, Miss Wen replied in seconds: "Yes, I can't sleep no matter how I sleep, so I listened to the waves all night." ”

It's past five o'clock in the morning, the sun is almost rising, and she hasn't slept yet.

Qiao Nan had the heart to tease her, so she replied: "The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night." ”

"I can see it! Hmph! You're more sour than Xiucai!"

Qiao Nan smirked at the phone screen, Miss Wen was not around, he really resented the long night. He misses her so much that he becomes more sour than Xiucai, but so what?

Alas, it's a pity that I didn't bring my notebook back, so I couldn't look at her. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use your phone video one day?

Grandma got up before five o'clock, she asked Qiao Nan to sleep a little longer, Qiao Nan said that she had already formed a habit, and she couldn't sleep after half past five. Grandma smiled: "You, you really don't look like today's young people, your schedule is too regular!"

Miss Wen listened to him very much, and Qiao Nan also decided to listen to her, so he asked his grandmother for a hot towel to compress his eyes. After learning that it was his girlfriend who ordered it, grandma praised again: "It's rare that she thinks about everything for you, it's so rare to find a girl who knows cold and hot!"

The hot towel is very comfortable on the eyes, Qiao Nan took out his mobile phone, found a photo of the two and showed it to his grandmother, and her grandmother was full of praise: "Oh, this girl is as handsome as a fairy, and these eyes are very kind when she looks at them." Or Nan Nan has vision, the two of you are really a good match. ”

Qiao Nan was even more proud, but he was also very anxious - this broken phone still can't be video, or he can connect with Miss Wen on the spot and let grandma take a good look at her.

The next morning, Qiao Nan did not rush to fish, but went to the hardware store to buy some tools and came back, worked as a carpenter at his grandmother's house, and repaired all the crumbling windows. Grandma's family is a very decent person, but no matter how decent they are, they can't compete with the hardships of life - there are too many places in this home that need to be repaired, but there are too few laborers, and the funds are not so abundant. Qiao Nan decided to go into battle in person, repaired it and left.

There is also a small room on the east side of my grandmother's house, which was originally used to put farm tools and grain, and now it is used by my aunt as a warehouse. When my uncle came home last year, my aunt wanted to start a small business again to support the family. Baoqing used to go to junior high school in the town, and one of his classmates ran the largest agricultural material company in the town. After Boss Zhao heard what happened to his uncle's family, he happily extended a helping hand. My aunt had no money to buy the goods, and Boss Zhao almost half sold and half gave away, making her a subordinate agent. My aunt typed the IOU very seriously, saying that the money owed would be repaid by March this year.

In this way, during the busy farming season, her aunt worked at home as a farmer, single-handedly taking care of this small agricultural supermarket, and during the off-season, she followed the people from the same village to work in a nearby agricultural product processing factory, while her grandmother and uncle took care of the store's business. The family worked together and quickly paid back the money they owed. Although the days are tight, my aunt still pays Baoqing for her living expenses every month, trying not to cause trouble to the two sisters.

The family of uncle and aunt is struggling at the bottom, but they have never cried poverty with the eldest sister and the second sister's family, nor have they coveted the huge family property of the second sister's family, and they only borrow money when they are desperate, and every time they borrow money, they must pay an IOU. They live in poverty, but they still cling to that self-esteem, and those who know them all give them a thumbs up.

They are always busy running for a living, which is why there are so many places that cannot be taken care of. Qiao Nan jingled all morning and strengthened all the doors and windows. More than ten years ago, my grandmother fenced a small garden outside the courtyard wall, and because it was in disrepair, the garden also had a gap. The father and son of the Qiao family made cement again and filled up all the ruins and broken walls. The morning passed, and the old house, though not as new, was much better than before.

After a short break at noon, Qiao Nan rode his aunt's electric car to the town, and he didn't know why he went. When he returned, he went fishing with his father in the Ink River. After a heavy rain, the water of the Ink River rose a lot, and many crucian carp washed down from the upstream. The father and son of the Qiao family fished for an afternoon, almost caught a full bucket, grandma divided a circle, and the rest was enough to eat for a long time.

Grandma poured all the fish into the basin, and Qiao Nan played with the fish in the basin like a child. He boasted to his grandmother, "Halfway through the catch, my dad has to compete with me, and says it's a contest between two generations of scouts." Grandma, I only have one eye that works well, but I still beat my dad, am I better than him?"

Although Qiao Nan had "ask for praise" written on his face, his grandmother rarely straightened up: "Your dad is very good at fishing!

Oh?

It turned out that his father's thoughts, he still couldn't understand it well.

All the work that should be done is done, and the Qiao family father and son are ready to return to Hong Kong City. Grandma took out two barrels of peanut oil, home-rolled noodles, cornmeal, and a large bag of cherries. She divided everything into two portions and put them in two fertilizer bags, one for Qiao's family and one for her aunt's family.

After packing all the things, Grandma took out a large bag of herbs from the house, stuffed them into Qiao Nan's arms, and said, "I heard that cassia is good for eyes, and they used to treat eyes. But this season may not be found, your aunt went to your grandfather's house, and there are still some to come. ”

Grandma's hands trembled a little, and she was in a hurry to speak, so she had to take a breath first. She was afraid that Qiao Nan would not take it seriously, so she hurriedly advised: "Listen to your mother, you are still taking other medicines." If you bring these cassia seeds back, you must ask the doctor first, and if the doctor says you can eat them, you can eat them again. Alas, how beautiful are your eyes......"

Grandma choked suddenly, turned around, and wiped her face with her sleeve. Qiao Nan hugged the old man and said comfortingly: "Grandma, don't be sad, don't you see that I'm fine? My eyes will be better, it's just a matter of time." ”

"Alas, those who killed a thousand knives!" Grandma scolded twice, and then relieved a little hatred: "This bag of cassia must be brought well, you just put it in your arms, don't lose it." ”

Although grandma seemed to be telling a child, Qiao Nan was not annoyed at all, but felt very warm: "I know, I will carry it all the way back to Hong Kong City." ”

Grandma wanted her aunt to find a small cart to help them deliver things to the station, but someone happened to come to buy fertilizer, and my aunt was very busy. Qiao Nan didn't say a word, picked up a bag with his right hand and threw it on his shoulder, lifted another bag with his left hand, dropped the sentence "Grandma, I'm leaving", and went out without looking back.

Grandma trembled and caught up: "This child, don't you want to die?"

Lao Qiao stopped her and said, "Mom, Qiao Nan is not so squeamish, this little thing doesn't tire him." ”

Qiao Nan estimated that this was at most twenty kilograms. If it had been left in the past, he would not have paid attention to this weight. It's good now, but after walking a hundred meters, I feel tired. But he is not a person who gives up easily, gritted his teeth, and walked to the village entrance station in one breath.

He and his father had just gotten on the bus when he was about to call his grandmother. At noon, he went to the town bank to withdraw 2,000 yuan, and hid it under the quilt in the east house, he wanted his grandmother to buy a few clothes to improve his life. Before the phone was dialed out, grandma called the phone instead: "Nan Nan, are you still holding that bag of cassia seeds?"

"That's it, this is the medicine that my grandmother finally found for me, and I can't let go for a moment. ”

"You've got to hold it, I've got a thousand dollars of bread there, don't get rid of it. ”

？？？

Qiao Nan was stunned again, he opened the package of herbs, and sure enough, he saw a roll of money tied with red rope.

"Listen to your parents, you have suffered a lot of sins this time, and grandma is going to die of distress. I wanted to go to Beijing with your mother to see you, but your uncle had no one to take care of you. Fortunately, I saw you this time, so I was relieved. It's your eyes, and I panic when I think about it. Grandma has no money and no ability, so she can't take you to see your eyes. This money is not much, you take it to buy some delicious food to replenish your body. ”

When she was with her grandmother - in fact, she was just an old man who was not related by blood, Qiao Nan had the urge to cry many times, but never once as turbulent as at this moment. Even before he was ready, tears fell on the bag of cassia seeds.

"In a few days, you're going to have your birthday. Grandma always thinks that you are still a child, and you are twenty-five in the blink of an eye. Before twenty-five, you didn't have a good time, I often told your parents that Nan Nan was a poor child, and you should care more about him. After twenty-five, you will be a real adult, and everything will go smoothly in the future. Therefore, this is a big birthday, grandma may not be able to give it to you, this thousand yuan, even if grandma gives you a gift. ”

How much can a farmer's family earn a month? On average, it is up to 3,000 yuan a month. There is also a patient in their family who takes medicine all year round, a high school student studying in the city, how long does it take to save this thousand yuan?

Qiao Nan is very good at math, but he can't figure out this problem.

He rubbed his eyes and said, "Grandma, at noon, I went to the town bank to withdraw two thousand yuan, and put it under the quilt in the east house......

"Grandma saw it, I got your heart, but I don't need to spend your money now, I put the money in your bag. ”

？？？

"Nan Nan, although grandma has no money, she is not short of money. It's you, now that you've talked about your girlfriend, you'll have to buy a house and a car in the future, and you'll have to spend more money. Boys are under a lot of pressure, you save the money first, and if it really comes to the day when you need to use the money, grandma won't tell you. ”

Qiao Nan has conducted so many investigations and has never tasted defeat, but this time it was planted in the hands of his grandmother. He didn't even notice what she was doing. Even the tricks he thought he were very clever were easily seen through by his grandmother. In a few days, he would be twenty-five years old, but in some respects, he still couldn't win against an old man in his last years.
