Chapter 13: Rak
When Wang Jinshan and Li Hui were discussing where to rent a house, Wang Zhenhua got off work and brought back a big watermelon.
"Zhenhua, why did you come back? Didn't you get off the night shift at 8 o'clock? It's almost 10 o'clock, and you can't sleep when you go back to sleep, so let's make up for sleep after eating at noon!" Li Hui hurriedly put down the things she was packing, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I ate a little in the unit canteen, isn't this almost the Olympics, there are not enough people on the station, I helped check the three products for a while, and now the train into Beijing is very strict, a woman brought a bottle of perfume, beyond the allowable range, said that the perfume is very expensive, dead or alive are not allowed to stay, and there are no relatives and friends who sent the station, there has been entangled for a long time!"
Wang Zhenhua wiped the sweat on his head, and then said: "No way, I promised her to help her send it to her home, and left 10 yuan for the courier fee, so I can get on the car with confidence! I sent it to her just now!"
"Wasn't it possible to bring perfume before?" Wang Jinshan had spent time on the railway before, "why can't you do it now?"
"Isn't this a special period? We can't help it! We Secretary Liu said, either leave the perfume or the person stay, return the ticket, don't go out, choose one of the two, the woman is so angry that she scolds! I was afraid that the impact would not be good, so I quickly promised her to help her send her perfume, she was not at ease, and she had to ask me to write a receipt, as if someone wanted to embezzle her perfume!"
"Old man, hurry up and soak the watermelon in cold water, and when everyone comes back at noon, eat the watermelon after eating!" Li Hui saw Wang Jinshan stunned there, and hurriedly instructed him to work, this old Wang Tou has been in a daze all day recently, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"What kind of cold water to soak? Isn't there a refrigerator before? I said that you are really a brainless person, you don't need to put modern things, and put them in cold water!" Wang Jinshan's train of thought was interrupted, his nose snorted, and he was about to put the watermelon in the refrigerator.
"I said Wang stubborn, you are the one who has a problem! Don't you read what people say on the Internet? Watermelon is too cold in the refrigerator, and it is easy to breed bacteria, many people have gastroenteritis after eating watermelon taken out of the refrigerator, we must pay attention to it in the summer, modern things are not necessarily good, they used to be put in cold water, such watermelons taste cool, and will not hurt the body!"
"You old couple, grinding your teeth all day long, since you retired, I think you are too idle!" Wang Zhenhua shook his head, sat on the sofa and yawned.
"I don't bother to pay attention to him! Your father is an old stubborn man, if he wants to do something, the eight horses won't come back! I don't know what to think about all day long!"
Li Hui saw Wang Jinshan's absent-minded appearance, took a bucket of new water with a clean bucket, and put the watermelon in it.
"You two should play chess!" I'll go to the next unit to find Zhang Chunshan to play chess!" Wang Jinshan hurriedly left.
Li Hui made a little peace, covered it with an enamel basin, washed her hands, and sat on the sofa.
"Your dad doesn't know what evil he has committed recently, he goes to Zhang Chunshan and your Uncle Zhang to play chess all day long, I guess except for your Uncle Zhang, other old men don't take him to play, chess skills are not good, and he always plays tricks!"
"My Uncle Zhang has a good temper, and besides, they used to work in the general affairs of the school, and they were familiar with each other and lost their temper, and the two of them played very well together, it was better than the two of you playing poker at home, and they called me to complain at every turn, saying that my dad stole cards and cheated, it was really speechless, you two are now kindergarten children!"
"Originally, he just likes to play tricks!"
"Did he go out to play with others, and you were lonely at home?" Wang Zhenhua joked with a hippie smile on Li Hui's face.
"Pull him down, who scares about him!"
"Look! Look at your sourness, haha! He can find someone to play, you can also go out and find someone to play! You go to play with Aunt Chen! My dad plays chess with Uncle Zhang, and you and Aunt Chen are chatting, isn't it just right?"
"Don't mention it, your Aunt Chen, I'm writing a memoir, people can't talk to me together!" Li Hui is a little lonely, she is about the same age as Chen Yuhui, and she retired one after another, and the two of them can't play together in school.
"Write a memoir? Look at Aunt Chen, how much she has pursuits! Better than you! Haha!"
"Dead girl! Have a virtue with your father!" Li Hui didn't have any pursuits when she was a teacher in school, and now that she is retired, she doesn't have any special hobbies at home, except for taking care of her grandson Gu Yiming, she really doesn't have any pastime.
"Originally, Aunt Chen, Zhang Xueqing's academic performance was also average, Aunt Chen supported her to study art, and now everyone has become a famous designer, and it can be regarded as a success! Sister Xueqing is my idol since childhood, but if you look at me again, a conductor at a train station, there is really no comparison between heaven and earth!" Wang Zhenhua's tone was a little resentful.
"You dead girl, I know that you still complain about me and didn't let you study art!" Li Hui actually regretted that she didn't let her daughter go to college at that time, and she directly joined the job after graduating from high school, so it can be said that she has achieved nothing in her career.
"Otherwise, maybe I'd be a designer now!"
"What's wrong with the famous designer? I haven't married yet! I'm almost 40 years old, and I don't know how anxious your Aunt Chen is! Look at you, you have a considerate husband and a smart and lovely son, how enviable!" Li Hui hurriedly comforted her daughter.
"Mom, I'm not complaining about you, there are gains and losses in life, it's all come to this point, and there's nothing to complain about, even if I study art, I don't necessarily be able to become famous and start a family like Sister Xueqing!" Wang Zhenhua followed Wang Jinshan, but he was at peace with what he encountered.
"It's great that you can think like this! You see that your younger brother also went to college, and now he doesn't even have a serious job, working all over the world, what's the use of going to college!" Li Hui felt a pain in her head when she mentioned her son.
"That's not what I said! It's the same part-time job, and of course it's different from those who haven't! Learning and insight are different, so how can it be said that it's in vain!"
"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll roll noodles, let's eat cucumber cold noodles at noon today! As soon as it's hot this day, the air conditioner is turned on, and I don't have any appetite!" Li Hui looked at her watch, it was more than 11 o'clock, and after a while, Gu Yiming should be out of school.
"I'll help you pick up the garlic and cut the cucumber shreds!" Wang Zhenhua went to the bathroom to wash his hands and walked into the kitchen with his mother.
"Bang dang!" the door opened, and Wang Jinshan walked in angrily, followed by Zhang Chunshan.
"What's the matter?
"Uncle Zhang, isn't it that you two are annoyed playing chess and fighting!" Wang Zhenhua joked.
"This old Qiu, what a bastard!" Wang Jinshan was so angry that his face darkened, he sat down at the dining table, picked up the cold water cup, poured half a cup of cold boiled water, and drank it.
"Oh, Lao Wang, don't be so angry when it's hot! The working group can't do his job, let alone the two of us! Isn't this what we expected before we went!" Zhang Chunshan hurriedly persuaded.
"What's the matter? Didn't my old king go to your house to play chess?" Li Hui was confused.
"Mom, you haven't heard it yet, my dad is going to Uncle Qiu's house with Uncle Zhang to do work!" Wang Zhenhua is young and has a good brain, and he understands it at once!
