Chapter 42: Parting
Yuan He helped Fang Chuanzhi sort out the package, and he has been here for eight years, and he has accumulated a lot of things. There are some that are inconvenient to take away, Fang Chuanzhi gave them to the educated youths who left, and the others can be packed, and there is a lot of food left, so they must be carried. Outside the house, Liu Xia was standing at the door, and Yuan He saw Liu Xia and beckoned her to come in and sit. Liu Xia hesitated. Fang Chuanzhi was very generous: "Come in, I'm cleaning up my things, it's a little messy, don't mind." ”
Liu Xia smiled reluctantly and asked, "Do you want to help?" "No, it's almost the same." ”
Liu Xia watched Fang Chuanzhi clean up and didn't speak, Yuan He saw that he was famous and found an excuse to leave. Liu Xia stood aside and waited silently. The remaining two people in the room didn't speak, Fang Chuanzhi also felt embarrassed, looked at Liu Xia and asked, "What's the matter?" Liu Xia smiled a little sadly, took out a small cloth bag and said, "I made it, leave a souvenir for you!" Fang Chuanzhi opened it and saw that it was a white shirt, and he quickly pushed it back: "This is not good, it is too precious." Liu Xia refused to answer, and said: "If you leave this time, it is estimated that we will not meet again, take it, I have been doing it for a long time, and it will be regarded as a commemoration of our six years of acquaintance." Fang Chuanzhi looked at the tears in the corners of Liu Xia's eyes, and was also a little uncomfortable: "Liu Xia, I'm really sorry, I," "It's okay, I wish you a smooth journey." Goodbye!" After saying that, Liu Xia went out.
Fang Chuanzhi took this dress with a heavy heart. He has long felt Liu Xia's good impression of him, but he has no feelings for Liu Xia, now that he is leaving, Liu Xia will continue to stay here, and it is even more impossible for the two to develop other feelings, Fang Chuanzhi sighed, the thing can only be accepted, and then find a way to return the gift.
In the evening, Lin Xi and Chu Sheng came over together, Lin Xi took out the prepared snacks and buns and handed them to Fang Chuanzhi: "This is a little heart, take it." I'm not going to see you off tomorrow, so I wish you a smooth journey and a great future in advance. Fang Chuanzhi was not polite, accepted the things, Lin Xi handed over a small envelope and said: "A little heart, there are food stamps inside, not much." You're sure to use it. ”
Fang Chuanzhi was really worried about the food stamps, and when he saw that it was a national food stamp, he accepted it cheekily. He took out a book and said, "I think it's still useful to read, and there are notes I made in this book, so you can take it if you don't dislike it." "Lin Xi also accepted it, and it can be used by Chu Sheng in the future. Fang Chuanzhi looked at Chu Sheng and said, "You have also grown up, take good care of your sister in the future." "Of course!" Chu Sheng replied simply.
Fang Chuanzhi's departure made the educated youth point silent for a while. After arranging for the workers, peasants and soldiers to leave, Tang Jianguo came to Chu's house again. "How is it, do you understand the quarrel?" Third Uncle Chu knew that this matter could not be delayed, and he had already discussed a result. sold the house, the money was divided into three, he took a share for the elderly, Bao'er took a share for Chu Dagen's funeral as a filial son, and the widow Tian took a share, except for the money for the funeral, all belonged to her.
Selling a house is not an easy thing to do, Tang Zhishu is still easy to speak, the village first advances the money, and then deducts it from their money from selling the house.
Finally finished Chu Dagen's funeral. Tang Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. Widow Tian found Tang Jianguo again. Tang Jianguo was now scared when he saw the Chu family, looked at the crying Widow Tian, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" "Branch Secretary, what do you say I should do now? Dagen is gone, they want to sell the house, where do I live?" Widow Tian said while wiping her tears. Tang Jianguo asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say it all at that time? When you agreed to sell the house, you didn't think about where to live?"
"At that time, I couldn't help it, the old man and my younger siblings forced me, I had to agree, now that this house is sold, where will I live with my daughter Chinese? He's angry, too, it's all.
"Aren't you able to get a piece of money? If you have money, you can't build a house? If you can't, you can go back to your mother's house. Hearing this, Widow Tian cried even more sadly: "My mother's family won't allow me to go back, and I won't even have a person to rely on this time, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you." ”
These words sounded awkward, Tang Jianguo said smoothly: "Then what do you mean, what do you want the village to do?" "It takes a lot of money to build a house, my money is definitely not enough, and I don't have any requirements, just have a place to live." Tang Jianguo heard it, she had an idea what she meant. "What do you think we should do?" "I think, I'll go to live there in Zhiqing Point, okay? Anyway, I'll be able to make do with my daughter." Widow Tian wiped her tears and said what she thought.
Tang Jianguo didn't expect her to hit the idea of the educated youth, but now the educated youth point can't vacate the house. "It's always okay to squeeze it, we just want a place to sleep. Tang Jianguo rubbed his swollen head and said, "I want to discuss it with everyone, anyway, the house hasn't been sold yet, so you can live in it first." ”
Since the funeral affairs of the Chu family were completed, Chu Sheng secretly went to Chu Dagen's cemetery, and a stone tablet was engraved with the man's name, but this man who made him hate to the bone could no longer hurt himself. Chu Sheng stood in front of the tombstone with a sarcastic smile on his face: Your luck is really bad, I originally wanted to spare your life, but unfortunately God helped me, a snake made you lose your life, now it's okay, you can only go underground to toss.
Chu Sheng's heart suddenly relaxed, and he was happy every day. Lin Xi guessed that Chu Dagen had left too deep a mark on Chu Sheng's childhood, maybe Chu Dagen's departure could heal the wounds in Chu Sheng's heart, hoping that with the passage of time, the shadow in Chu Sheng's heart could be eliminated.
At this time, a long-lost voice sounded in Lin Xi's ears: Congratulations, you are currently completing the stage task - raising Chu Sheng to adulthood, with a completion rate of 30%, you can get 300 gold coins and a temporary gift package.
What is a temporary gift package? The system quickly replied: "The gift package is time-sensitive, the use period is 7 days, and after 7 days, the system will automatically recycle." "Lin Xi understood, just lend it to you and return it when you run out. It's really out of the realm, and last time it was a fresh gift bag, which can be eaten and used. This time, I'll give you the right to use it. As for the right to use something, Lin Xi looked at the camera in his hand and decided to forgive the system for once.
A camera costs hundreds of dollars, and it also costs four industrial coupons. It's really not something that a little ordinary person like her can have.
Lin Xi asked: "Won't the photo be recycled by you, right?" The system scolded silently: What stupid!
The system explained: "The camera comes with a roll of film, when the time is up, the camera will be recycled, the film will be left for you, and you will print it yourself." After getting the answer, Lin Xi stopped talking nonsense with the system, and directly closed the system, and now she and the system are tired of each other, it is better not to see each other.
Lin Xi pondered how to talk to Chu Sheng about the camera, and Han Meifang came to the door. "Lin Xi, are you at home?" Lin Xi picked up the stones for the day, his clothes were dirty, and he was about to wash his clothes when he heard Han Meifang's voice. "Sister Han, is there something?" "Yes, is Chu Sheng here?" "No, he hasn't come back yet, you have something to do with him." "No, I'm looking for you. That," Han Meifang was a little stumbling, Lin Xi's heart suddenly changed, she wouldn't come to borrow food.
After a long time, Han Meifang blushed and explained her intentions: "I'm getting married, I want to ask you to help cook a meal, do you think it's okay?" Lin Xi knew that she was dealing with someone, but she didn't expect to get married so soon, and said with a smile: "Yo, congratulations, who is the man?"
"It's Li Qi, the one in the west of the village, but he usually works in the town, and their printing and dyeing factory provides dormitories, and he rarely comes back, so it's normal if you don't know. Han Meifang's tone was tinged with pride, although she had found a rural guy, but she was energetic and had a good job, and she was about to turn positive, and her future was bright.
The two said a few words and turned to the main topic. Han Meifang means that if you simply hold a banquet and invite Zhiqing and the relatives of the Li family to eat, you will be married. Lin Xi asked, "How many tables do you want to make?" "Six or seven tables." "Then who else will cook? You also know my little skill, it's okay to eat at home, but I haven't really made noodles before." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, Li Qi's mother called someone from the next village to come over and cook, you can just give it a hand. Lin Xi thought, this is not a big deal, there is a chef here, and he can fry two dishes at most. Besides, they are all educated youths together, and if they refuse, they are a little unkind.
Han Meifang saw that Lin Xi agreed, smiled and thanked Lin Xi, and went to the village canteen when the time came, and the table was placed there. Lin Xi knew the place, agreed on the time, the matter was negotiated, and Han Meifang left with a smile.
Chu Sheng came back, Lin Xi was about to cook, Liu Xia hurriedly found it, and as soon as she saw Lin Xi, she asked, "Did you promise Han Meifang to cook for her?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Xi didn't know.
"You stupid girl. Liu Xia was so angry that she patted Lin Xi on the head, Chu Sheng was originally burning the fire, but when he saw Liu Xia's movements, he suddenly stood up, and his eyes were all warnings. Liu Xia was shocked and quickly withdrew her hand.
Lin Xi didn't have an idea to meet Chu Sheng's eyes, so he pulled Liu Xia and asked, "What's wrong?" Liu Xia didn't care about talking to Chu Sheng and said, "What do you know? I just inquired that the Li family invited a cook from the next village, and Wang Xiaozhen, Yu Linlin, and you are responsible for the rest of the rough work of washing and cutting vegetables." Wang Xiaozhen, you know, a person who can make a porridge paste the pot, Yu Linlin is a little better, you don't think you will let you do this work alone. ”
"Don't the Li family have any relatives, they can always come and take a hand. Lin Xi still has illusions. Liu Xia couldn't wait to poke a finger up, remembered Chu Sheng's eyes, took her hand back again, and said: "The Li family has no relatives in this village, they belong to the retail households in the village, and the rest of the relatives are just coming to help, and they have to prepare to wash and cut vegetables the day before, and the laborious work is all on that day." There are several tables of people, and you won't be tired to death if you do it alone. ”
Lin Xi wanted to regret it, if there were too many people, she wouldn't be able to cope with it. Chu Sheng understood what he heard, knowing that Han Meifang had pitted Lin Xi, Chu Sheng thought for a while and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll find a way for you." Lin Xi and Liu Xia looked at each other, and then looked at Chu Sheng's confident appearance, I don't know what this little ghost can do.
