Today is Friday, Qi Jingtao, who is in a happy mood, finishes the day's tasks early, packs the things that need to be taken home, and at 5:00 in the afternoon, he leaves the office and rides a motorcycle to the city No. 1 Middle School located in the northwest of the city.

His sister Qi Lin is in her third year of high school here, and she made an appointment three weeks ago to go home today to participate in tomorrow's tomb sweeping activity.

Qingming Festival is a day to sweep the tomb to worship the deceased relatives, this year's Qingming Festival is not on Saturday and Sunday, there are family members who can not go to the tomb on the day of the Qingming Festival due to work, study, etc., generally focus on the weekend rest day and then go. Local customs, three days before and after the Qingming Festival are legal days to go up the mountain to sweep the tomb, there is no taboo.

There is a festival this weekend, and most of the students with convenient transportation choose to go home to participate in the grave sweeping activities at home, and there are many pedestrians and vehicles along the way.

There are several schools on Wenchang Road, where the No. 1 Middle School is located, and when Qi Jingtao came to Wenchang Road, it was the crowded time of several schools shortly after school. The road was crowded with students rushing home from school, and the bicycles, motorcycles, and a small number of private cars of parents who came to pick up the students home.

Qi Jingtao rode a motorcycle and drove slowly with the traffic, and before he arrived at the gate of the city's No. 1 Middle School, he saw Qi Lin, who was tall, tied in a lively ponytail, and wearing a pale yellow sports suit, carrying a small backpack, and a few classmates standing in the crowd on the right side of the gate, and waved at him when he saw Qi Jingtao riding over: "Brother, I'm here, here!"

Qi Jingtao saw that his sister was still the same as when she was a child, she always liked to wait for her in a fixed old place, so she couldn't help but add a throttle and drove towards the location of Qi Lin Station.

"Linlin, get in the car!Go to the South Gate Market to buy something and go home!" Qi Jingtao said and stopped the car, took off the spare helmet on the handlebar and handed it to Qi Lin.

After saying goodbye to several female classmates who were also waiting for their parents to pick them up, Qi Lin skillfully put on her helmet and straddled the back seat of the motorcycle, "Brother, I'm going to buy things and pay my salary at this time!"

Qi Jingtao started the motorcycle and drove out of the Wenchang road section, and when he heard his sister behind him still asking curiously, he couldn't help but feel a slight heartache, "Does your brother only have a salary to get? ”

Qi Lin is seven years younger than Qi Jingtao, perhaps because of the large age difference between siblings and the reason why they are closer, Qi Lin has been very sticky to Qi Jingtao since she was a child, and Qi Jingtao also loves this smart and sensible sister very much. Especially after work, Qi Jingtao basically took the initiative to bear his sister's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and for this, he also argued with his father several times. In the end, it was Qi Jingtao who had to give in on the grounds that he had a salary every month to receive cash.

When Qi Lin heard her brother's words, she became even more curious, and sat in the back seat and asked loudly: "Is there another bonus?"

"How can it be that it's only five hundred, less. ”

"Eight hundred?"

"It's still less, guess again. ”

"I can't guess, brother, you say it yourself. ”

"Five thousand, I can't think of it, hahaha......"

"Amazing, brother, what contribution have you made?

"Don't worry so much about children. Linlin, tell me about your review in the past three weeks, what do you want to ask my brother?" Qi Jingtao didn't want to continue on this nonsensical reason, and quickly shifted the topic to his sister's study.

"Where are people still children, almost eighteen. Brother, do you say, is Wei Yuan a pioneer in China who opened its eyes to the world?"

"It depends on what kind of situation you have to face, if you are dealing with the college entrance examination, the textbook says that he is the first person in modern China to open his eyes to the world is the correct answer. If you go to university and engage in historical research in the future, you will find that the content of Wei Yuan's "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" is full of errors. Wei Yuan is a person who has never been abroad, and he only understands the world with only a little knowledge, and puts forward a view that "mastering the art of mastering and mastering the art to control the country" is actually remarkable, and the first to advocate this view was the RB in the Meiji Restoration period. It can only be said that he is one of the people who China has known about the world since the Opium War. In Chinese history, the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty in a special historical period full of coincidences was originally a kind of black humorous joke, the destruction of civilization by barbarism, and the regression of the history of the development of Chinese civilization, but that is history...... ＂

……

The brother and sister chatted about topics of interest all the way to the South Gate Market. This market is the largest farmers' market in central Yunnan, and by the afternoon, only this market has the most complete range of agricultural products, and only here are seafood products shipped from outside the province.

Qi Jingtao just wanted to buy some dried vegetables and food that could be used at home and go back, there was no refrigerator at home, and fresh meat and vegetables could not be preserved. The farming season is about to begin, and the family does not have so much time to buy vegetables on the street, basically what they have to eat in their own fields. The busy farming season is heavy physical work, and eating white bitter vegetables for a long time hurts the body.

But when he really arrived at the farmers' market, Qi Jingtao found that there was nothing to buy, except for a few kinds of shelf-stable meat products such as beef jerky, bacon, sausages, plate duck, salted fish, etc., there were not too many dried meat dishes to choose from. The time was not early, and the family was waiting for them to go back for dinner, so the brother and sister let go and rode a motorcycle to the 213 National Highway in the south of the city.

Their home is located in the southernmost part of the dam in central Yunnan, a smaller area surrounded by mountains at the southeast foot of the dam in the fifth district of the dam, is the bifurcation of the national highway line leading to the Red River and Xishuangbanna, the traffic geographical location is very important, and it is the location of the military tun in the Ming Dynasty. The name of his village is also very distinctive, called Qiguanying, which is also one of the largest villages in central Yunnan, with a population of more than 6,000 people living in seven major surnames. It is more than 30 kilometers away from the central city of Yunnan, four or five miles away from the 213 national highway, the road traffic is very convenient, and you can get home by motorcycle in one hour.

His family lives on the edge of the central part of the village, and the house he now lives in is a two-room, two-eared house built by his father ten years ago in a typical central Yunnan area.

Entering the village road, Qi Jingtao naturally slowed down the speed, and there were many people in the village who went out to do farm work and go home, and people came and went very lively. Say hello along the way and ride slowly to your home.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, we're back!" As soon as she stopped the car at the door of her house, Qi Lin couldn't wait to jump out of the car and run home to report the news.

"Alas, Linlin, come back and help me get something....... Qi Jingtao failed to call Qi Lin back, so he had to push the motorcycle into the yard and remove the two large span bags from the back frame of the motorcycle.

"Shopping again?" Father Qi Zhengming scolded him from the main house and came to the courtyard with a smile and helped Qi Jingtao carry the big satchel into the hall.

"It's so heavy, what did you buy?"

"Dad, I'll just come, and I didn't buy anything, just some dried vegetables to eat. Also, I bought a roast duck at the time-honored store in the South Gate Market and it was still hot, and there were some cold slices of beef, so you can take it to the kitchen first. ”

Qi Zhengming took the cooked food and pretended to teach his son a serious lesson: "Why do you buy these? It's not that there is no food at home!"

"Hey, hey, Linlin is in the sprint stage of the college entrance examination, and the food in the school is relatively simple, so she can satisfy her hunger. Qi Jingtao explained with a smirk.

"Xiaotao, wait for the things to be cleaned up, I'll make hot water for you, go wash first, and collect after eating!" Grandma also came to the main house when she heard the eldest grandson's voice, and looked lovingly at her grandson who was sorting things.

"Grandma, is the rice cooked? I'll put down my bag and come. Qi Jingtao responded, putting the big satchel on the wall of the main house.
