[Add more to the empty boss 11/13]

Grandma Lu laughed lightly and continued to say lightly: "If I don't go into the mountain to chop firewood, when the weather is cold, your brother and your father will take a hot bath, and without firewood, what will our family take to boil water?"

Now that the Chinese New Year is just a few months away, if I don't chop some firewood to sell, how will our family celebrate the New Year? Is it true that our family can only rely on subsidies to get by?

Wen'en, you are also a big man, my mother wants to save more money, and when you meet a suitable woman who is willing to marry you, she will help you do a good job in your life. But I don't know anything, I can only pick some mountain pepper and chop some firewood to sell, don't you say?"

From boiling water to taking a bath to marrying a wife for her son, Grandma Lu is not thinking about herself, she is thinking about her son and husband.

Her heart, which is full of holes, is obviously humble and cowardly, but when she thinks about her husband and son, she is like a fragile and brave candle, even if she knows the impermanence and transience of life, she has to exhaust her last efforts without hesitation, just to flash a little warm light, and bring a trace of warmth to her reluctant and remembered family.

The spring silkworm is dead, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry, probably talking about people like her.

Chen Yang listened to Grandma Lu's bland words, and his heart was not happy.

If his parents were half as good as Grandma Lu and half as good as her for their children, perhaps, his life would be a different story.

It can only be said that there are thousands of parents in the world, and not all parents can be like Grandma Lu, right?

"Mom, don't worry, in the future, I will never eat dog meat again. Lu Wenen's voice was slightly low, "I won't go into the mountains to catch game, in the future, I will do things in a down-to-earth manner, when I can sell firewood, I will sell firewood, when I can't sell firewood, I will cut more firewood, and then sell it when I can." In short, don't go into the mountains to chop wood in the future. ”

Grandma Lu slowly lifted her thin cheeks and looked at her tall son. She flattened her mouth and didn't say a word, just nodded slightly.

Chen Yang saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, so he secretly took a deep breath, eased the depression in his chest, and then said with a smile: "Your harvest today is very good, Uncle Lu's firewood is ninety-one catties, and Grandma Lu's is fifty catties, which adds up to one hundred and forty-one catties, I calculate how much it is." ”

As he spoke, he turned on his phone again and calculated.

"One hundred pounds is forty-five dollars, and one hundred and forty-one pounds is sixty-five dollars. The result calculated by the mobile phone was sixty-three .forty-five, but Chen Yang directly reported sixty-five.

Sixty-five yuan may not be much for ordinary people, and it may even be the money for a meal, but for a family like Grandma Lu, it is really a lot.

Grandma Lu listened to the huge amount of 'sixty-five yuan' and thought that she had heard it wrong: "Xiaoyang, are you talking about sixty-five yuan?"

"Hmm. Chen Yang smiled and nodded his head vigorously, "Grandma Lu, you are really powerful, your bundle of firewood is fifty catties, so you bought twenty-three yuan for this bundle of firewood alone?"

"Ah, this bundle of firewood of mine was sold for twenty-three yuan?" Grandma Lu couldn't believe it, "How could it be? How could I sell it for so much money in one afternoon when I cut this bundle of firewood and carried it back from the mountains?" If I hurry up and cut three bundles of firewood a day, then in this way, I will not be able to sell it for three twenty-three yuan a day?"

"Absolutely. Chen Yang affirmed, "But, you have to take care of your health, didn't you just say that you want to help Uncle Lu marry a daughter-in-law, if you are tired, when he gets married and has a son, you will not have the strength to help him take care of the baby, and when the time comes, he will have to work and take care of the child, how hard it will be." ”

Listening to Chen Yang's words, Grandma Lu laughed so much that her whole face was wrinkled.

Marry a daughter-in-law, hold a grandson?

These things she couldn't have thought of before. But now that Chen Yang said this, it seems that there is really a glimmer of hope. I hope that the days to come will gradually get better.

Lu Wenen said: "You only cut three bundles of firewood a day, and it took me two hours for these two large bundles of firewood, I went to our field in the morning to clear the wasteland, and when I went home in the afternoon, I cut two bundles, so you don't go into the mountains to cut firewood in the future, otherwise, you fall in the mountains, where do we go to find you?"

"Okay. Grandma Lu still smiled very happily, "Since you have said so, I will not chop wood in the future, I will order a variety of dishes." ”

"Grandma Lu, Uncle Lu, you wait here for a while, I'll go back to the house to find change. With that, Chen Yang turned around and went back to the house.

But when he walked out of the house with sixty-five yuan change, Grandma Lu and Uncle Lu were no longer at the gate of the courtyard.

He asked the fourth uncle, "Huh, what about them?"

"Oh, Lu Wenen said that when he pulls firewood to sell it tomorrow, he will take today's money together. The fourth uncle paused, and asked very strangely, "Xiaoyang, I think it's very strange." ”

"What's weird?"

The fourth uncle frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "I think it's strange that Lu Wenen's mother can afford to carry fifty catties of firewood? That's equivalent to the weight of a bag of cement." ”

Chen Yang laughed twice, approached the fourth uncle, and whispered: "When I just used hemp rope to tie firewood, I deliberately left a long piece of hemp rope to hang on the ground, and then when I weighed the firewood, I quietly stepped on the hemp rope, so that I had no problem weighing as many catties as I wanted." ”

The fourth uncle suddenly realized: "Haha, I see, I said, she is so thin and small, it is impossible for her to carry fifty catties of firewood." ”

Then, the fourth uncle gave a thumbs up and praised Chen Yang: "Xiaoyang, you did a good job." She wants to save face, if you give her more money directly, she will definitely not ask for it. ”

"Actually, I didn't give much. Chen Yang said with a smile, "Her firewood is about thirty catties, so I just gave ten yuan more." ”

"That's a piece of your heart. The fourth uncle looked at Chen Yang with an appreciative expression.

Chen Yang rolled his eyes: "It's a hairy mind, you can't even buy half a catty of pork for ten yuan." Moreover, the bundle of firewood she cut was thick and straight, all of which were burn-resistant wood, and very dry, and worth so much money in itself. But if I tell her that I want to raise the price a little more, I am worried that it will discourage Lu Wenen. I'm also afraid that Grandma Lu won't accept it. Like you said, although she is poor, she has a good face. That's why I came up with a solution. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful. The fourth uncle smiled, "Actually, she is a very good person, I remember that when I was a child, I ate a lot of cucumbers and sweet potatoes that she planted." ”
