"Grandma, which girl are you talking about? Qi Jingtao sat beside his grandmother, he knew that his grandmother was worried about his marriage, and almost everyone in the village of his age was married and had children, and he came back and talked about it again.

"It's the girl who accompanied you to the Chinese medicine hospital last month when I went to see a doctor. Later, when you rushed back to work, she ran up and down with me to see a doctor. Mother looked at Qi Jingtao with a reproachful face.

"Hey, hey, Mom, the one you're talking about isn't my girlfriend, it's a high school classmate of mine who works in a Chinese medicine hospital. She was resting that day, and I was in a hurry to get to work and asked her to help. Qi Jingtao explained with a smile.

"Not your object, I think that girl is very good, good-looking, and patient. Mother wondered.

"Really, she has a partner, and it's also my classmate, who works in the district court, and they're going to get married this year. Qi Jingtao hurriedly explained.

After work, it is normal for these classmates who work in a city to meet each other often and help each other, which can be regarded as the most consolidated social resource for them who come out of school to work, right? After all, it is one of the natural iron ties to go through the same window together.

"Xiaotao, you are not young anymore, you should hurry up on your personal affairs. If you don't look at your companions in the village, you're the only one left without a partner. "Grandma is still thinking about this, and she is about to become sick.

"Grandma, the village is different from the city. I'm only 25 years old, and it's not too late to get married before the age of 30 in the city. Don't worry, your grandson is not bad, and I'm afraid that I won't find a partner? By the way, don't keep the things I brought back, I can't put them away, and I will finish them after a while, so as not to waste them. Qi Jingtao diverted the topic.

"Got it, you don't have to be verbose. Xiaotao, you bring back those things and bring some more to Linlin back to school, we don't need them at home. The grandmother looked at her grandson dissatisfied, and when it came to business, he interrupted.

"Linlin's I will send her to school separately, the family has heavy work, and nutrition is indispensable. ”

Qi Jingtao chatted with her grandmother and mother for a while, and then went to the yard, where her father was still smoking hookah happily.

"Dad, try Jiangchuan tobacco, I went to the re-baking factory to do business last month, and I bought a few packs by the way. Qi Jingtao held a pack of tobacco wrapped in soft paper in his hand, tore it open and pulled out a small pinch of tobacco, kneaded it and pressed it on the hookah holder that his father just vacated, and helped his father light it with a match.

This machine-made tobacco shredded tobacco is not used to produce cigarettes, but is a commercial shredded tobacco specially prepared for smokers who prefer to smoke with a pipe or hookah. There are many people who grow flue-cured tobacco in Caiyun rural areas, and they are more accustomed to smoking hookahs, and most of the hookah tobacco they smoke themselves are homemade. Generally, the flue-cured tobacco leaves specially preserved in the previous year are used, and after about a year of natural fermentation, they are cut into shredded tobacco for use.

"Gollum...... Yes, fragrant, soft, it is the bottom three or four leaves produced last year, and it is the smoke in the black oil sand fields of Jiangchuan. Qi Zhengming took a few puffs and commented on the quality of this tobacco with satisfaction.

"Gollum...... Oh, there's cinnabar smoke in it, no wonder it smells so good. Xiaotao, how much is this tobacco?" My father, who has grown flue-cured tobacco all his life, knows the quality of tobacco very well, and he can tell the ins and outs of tobacco with just a few puffs of cigarettes.

"It's not expensive, twelve dollars. Qi Jingtao pressed a pinch of tobacco on his father.

"Gollum...... Good smoke, worth the money. I heard your Uncle Wusi say that there have been more and more people growing vegetables over there in recent years, and few people are growing flue-cured tobacco in the fields. This kind of tobacco is hard to come by. ”

Qi Jingtao knew all these situations, seeing that his father rarely liked this kind of tobacco, he couldn't help but say: "Dad, the computer system I designed will be tested after a while, and all counties will go down, and I will buy a few packs to bring back next time I go to Jiangchuan." ”

This tobacco will become less and less in the future, and others will not be able to store it for long, so you don't have to worry. Qi Jingtao glanced thoughtfully at his left hand, and he didn't know what was going on, the ring on the middle finger of his left hand was invisible. He could feel that the ring was still on the middle finger of his left hand, and no one else could see it. However, this is good, and he doesn't need to explain the matter of this black jade circle everywhere.

"Buy a few fewer packs, and it won't last long before it tastes. By the way, you go to the county to drink less, and there are more people who can drink in ethnic areas. His father's warning voice pulled Qi Jingtao's thoughts back.

"Well, I don't like to drink very much, so I drank a few glasses with me the first few times. By the way, Dad, this year's fertilizer and pesticide money does not need to go to the credit union to withdraw the family's savings, the three thousand will be used first. Qi Jingtao said, took out the cash he had specially gone to the bank today and put it on the stool from the salary card from his pocket.

"Hmm. Gurgling ...... "Qi Zhengming lowered his head and smoked the hookah.

"Linlin is in her third year of high school, and I heard her say that the school should strengthen make-up classes, and classes will be held on Saturdays and Sundays, and there will be less time to go home, so you should go to the city to watch more. ”

"Don't worry, it's not far away, I'll go. By the way, I have two classmates who teach at the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and I called them to bring some review materials down the next day, so that Linlin could strengthen it again. ”

"Well, you should pay more attention to Linlin's affairs. Do your classmates at college teach a lot?"

"More than a dozen of those who stayed in the provincial capital taught at the university, and more ...... in the banking system who returned to the prefecture."

Father and son rarely sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Qi Jingtao, who has a secret in his heart, wants to share it with his relatives, but he can't, his secret is too magical and special to share with others. His relatives are ordinary people who can enjoy all the benefits he can have, but there is no need to take risks.

Qi Jingtao's personal life has begun to change, at least his attitude towards money has changed slightly, and it will get bigger and bigger. While adapting to this kind of change, he wants to gradually change the relatives around him, so that his relatives can adapt to and enjoy a better life! This is Lao Qi's greatest wish, right? It is also Xiao Qi's wish.

Qi Jingtao knows that in her family, her grandmother is in her seventies, as long as her children and grandchildren are good, she thinks that the old man is good. The mother lived in the countryside and never went far away, and her husband and children were her everything. My sister is still in school, and it is the stage of accepting new things, and she has strong adaptability, and her brother's success is inevitable for her, who has admired her brother since she was a child.

However, the father is different. When my father was young, he was also a man of the year in his hometown, a party member, a village cadre, hard-working, strong, principled, and assertive.

My father, like the vast majority of people of his age, has caught up with what he should have caught up, and he has suffered all the hardships he should have suffered. When he was young, his father was the backbone of the village team, and he had recruited workers to work in the local tobacco department, and was sent to many places in the province to support the construction of new tobacco areas, and he was well-informed. Later, the grandfather of the family went to work in the mountains and unfortunately broke his leg, and his father, as the only son in the family, went home to take on the burden of the family.

From childhood to adulthood, whether it is a person or a person, his father has the greatest influence on Qi Jingtao, and Qi Jingtao does not dare to show too obvious changes in front of his father. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he has changed too much at once, if his father asks, Qi Jingtao doesn't have the courage to lie to his father, and his secret is really not good to tell his father, so he has to slowly let his father adapt and accept his own changes!
