Chapter 11 The Uncle's Field
"Knock, knock, knock"
On the morning of the first day of junior high school, Shen Hao was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Brother Hao, it's seven o'clock, it's time to get up. Xiaojie is also here, waiting for you to send out red envelopes. Outside, the sound of two little girls giggling.
Shen Hao rubbed his head, so he had to get dressed and get up, and it was also a kind of happiness to have his sister call to get up.
When I opened the door, two girls in new clothes appeared. The two of them are now getting paid, so they have the money to buy the new clothes they want.
"Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope. Four hands stretched out in front of Shen Hao's eyes.
"Study hard and grow up quickly. Shen Hao put a red envelope on each hand, and each person got two. After Shen Hao gave out the red envelope, he touched the heads of the two happy girls. The two girls were like little sheep, they didn't dodge, they liked Brother Hao to touch their heads, if others dared to do it, they would have kicked them over.
The girls ran away with red envelopes and laughing.
Shen Hao washed his face and went down to the second floor, where Qi Qing was making breakfast.
"Sister Qi, Happy New Year, I wish you younger and younger. ”
"Hao, Happy New Year, I wish you to find a girlfriend soon. ”
"Then I want Sister Qi to help me, there are good ones in your village, as beautiful as you, introduce one to me." ”
"There are really two people in our village who are suitable for you, both in their early twenties, and they are much better than me. When I'm free, I'll ask them to come over and let you have a look. However, their educational qualifications are not high, only the beginning of Chinese, it is estimated that you can't look at it. ”
"What do I ask for, people will say after seeing it. ”
"Do you want to have breakfast here?"
"I'll still go to my godmother's place to eat, and I'll give Xiaoliang a red envelope. ”
"Then you go quickly. ”
Wu Meilian's breakfast shop is not open, all the shops are the same, and they will not open until the third year of junior high school.
Shen Jie and Yang Xiaoxian ran out to play, Shen Liang was still at home, and he also wanted to go out to play early, but he still wanted to wait for Brother Hao to come over and get the red envelope.
As soon as Shen Hao entered the door, Shen Liang ran over.
"Brother Hao, Happy New Year. Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope. Shen Liang's congratulatory words are still very familiar.
Shen Hao handed over the two red envelopes.
"Wow, it's two red envelopes, and they've been sent. Shen Liang shouted.
"Brother Hao, I'll go to Xiao An and them, do you want to go together. ”
"Go ahead, I can't play with you young people, Brother Hao is old. ”
"Brother Hao, with your face, go out and say that you are a high school student, no one will doubt it. ”
"I'm too old to play. ”
"Then I won't leave you alone, I'll go play. After getting the red envelope, Shen Liangxin flew away and immediately rushed out.
Shen Hongguang and Wu Meilian are both at home, and today is the day for adults to greet each other.
"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year. ”
"Hao, Happy New Year. I wish you a further and all the best for the New Year. Career success, love harvest. ”
"Borrow the words of my parents. ”
"Ah Hao, don't give too much money to Xiaojie and Xiaoliang, it's not good for them to be used to being lavish. ”
"Mom, now that life is better, there is money, don't let them enjoy it, so what are we doing to make money, we work hard to make money, isn't it just to make a better life for them?"
"It's as if you're their elder, you're just their eldest brother, and you have to save money to find a girlfriend to marry and have children. ”
"Mom, don't worry, I have the money to marry my wife, or I'll give you all my bank card to help you hold it. ”
"No, you can take it yourself, you're an adult. ”
"Ah Hao, tomorrow we are going to the uncle's house in the suburbs to pay New Year's greetings, we will stay there for a day, and we will come back on the third day of junior high school, so you can go with you and recognize the uncle's family." Shen Hongguang said.
"Dad, I listen to your arrangement, I don't have anything to do anyway, it's better to go and recognize the uncle's family. Xiaoxian and Xiaojie are glued together, take her with you tomorrow. ”
"Okay, let's go together, and Xiaoxian will go too. Your uncle will be happy. ”
After dinner in the evening, when he returned to Yang's house, Shen Hao looked for Qi Qing and said that he would take Xiaoxian to the Shen family's uncle's house to play tomorrow, and he would stay for a day and come back in the third year of junior high school.
When Yang Xiaoxian heard that Brother Hao was going to take him to play, he jumped up with joy.
"Brother Hao, are you really taking me to play? I'm so happy. Mom, you can go too. ”
Qi Qing actually wanted to play together in her heart, but she knew that she had no reason to go.
"Xiaoxian, you go with Ah Hao, Mom will go to the store tomorrow to check the preparations, and the store will open on the fourth day of the new year. ”
Shen Hao didn't dare to invite Qi Qing to go with him, because he couldn't find a reason, and it was not appropriate to let a widow go to his uncle's house.
"Sister Qi, then it's hard for you, I'm the shopkeeper in the store now, and you have the final say. I'll definitely give you a bigger red envelope next year. ”
"Ah Hao, I have taken enough from the store now, I never thought that I could make so much money, even if the county is the director, his salary is not as high as mine. Thank you so much. ”
"Ha, Sister Qi, don't thank me, don't scold me for exploiting you. I don't do anything, but I can take more than you, just don't call me a capitalist. ”
"You deserve it. Xiaoxian, you go with Ah Hao, don't be naughty, you have to listen to Ah Hao, you know?"
"Got it, Mom, don't worry. Yang Xiaoxian happily agreed.
There was Shen Hao together, and he went with Shen Hongguang's family, so Qi Qing was very relieved. The daughter followed her, and she didn't have a good time, but now with Shen Hao and Shen Jie, her daughter finally has the happiness that an ordinary girl should have.
On the morning of the second day of the new year, the Shen family is ready to go, and every year they go back to their hometown to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year, Wu Meilian's maiden family is in the neighboring village, so they can pay New Year's greetings together by the way.
The Shen family of four, plus Shen Hao and Yang Xiaoxian, is a total of six people and three bicycles. Shen Hongguang took Wu Meilian, Shen Liang took Shen Jie, and Shen Hao took Yang Xiaoxian.
There are also a lot of things to take, and Shen Hao also specially brought a few packs of buns made by him, which are vacuum-packed with Xiao Shen's logo.
Yang Xiaoxian sat in the back seat of Shen Hao's car, helping to hold things in one hand, and gently hugging Brother Hao's waist with the other hand. Yang Xiaoxian's face turned a little red again, although it was not the first time she had taken Brother Hao's car, but this time, she was very happy.
The car started, although Shen Hao rode very steadily, Yang Xiaoxian still gently rested her head on Brother Hao's back, she hoped to rely on it for a lifetime.
Shen Hao felt the little girl behind him put her face on her back, just smiled slightly, and rushed forward more powerfully.
The uncle's house is not far from the county seat, and it takes 40 minutes to reach it by bicycle.
It is a flat field, partly rice fields and partly vegetables. The vegetables here are supplied to the county seat, and some of them are shipped to Lianzhou.
The peasants in the suburbs were still very wealthy, and some of them earned more than the workers in the cities.
The village where the uncle is located is called Tateishi Village, and there is a large stone standing there, and it is said that this stone was born a thousand years ago, and it may be longer.
Lishi Village is divided into several pieces, and there are only about a dozen households in this area, and they are basically surnamed Shen. The uncle's family only built a new house the year before last, and it was replaced by mud bricks and red bricks, which can be regarded as part of the first to get rich.
Stopping in front of the three-story building of the uncle's house, a few people had already come out.
Walking in the front is a pair of children of the uncle's family, the male is named Shen Yong, 20 years old, after graduating from high school, he went to Lianzhou to work, and is now a worker in an electronics factory. The girl's name is Shen Xue, eighteen years old, in her third year of high school, her grades are not very good, and she is estimated to be ready to work after graduation.
He was followed by Uncle Shen Hongming and Aunt Wang Lihua.
Shen Liang and Shen Jie rushed to the front.
"Brother Yong, Sister Xue, Happy New Year. Uncle, happy new year, aunt. ”
"Xiaoliang, Happy New Year Xiaojie, Uncle, Happy New Year to Auntie. ”
The two families were happy together.
"Big brother, sister-in-law. Let me introduce to you, this is Shen Hao, the godson of me and Meilian, you can see if he is exactly the same as Xiaoliang. ”
"Ah, it's exactly the same, it's amazing. Hao, welcome to come. Shen Hongming said.
"This is Xiaoxian, Xiaojie's classmate, also come to play together. ”
"Xiaoxian, you are also welcome to come. ”
"Uncle, happy new year, aunt. Shen Hao and Yang Xiaoxian greeted Uncle Shen together.
Shen Hongming's family kept looking at Shen Hao and Shen Liang, and they were very surprised, these two were like a pair of twins, but Shen Hao looked much more mature, like adults.
"Where is Hao from, and where does he work?" asked Shen Hongming.
"I am an orphan, and now I am in the same factory as my father, and I am a technician in the factory. ”
"Being a technician in the factory, good, young people are amazing, understand technology, and are much better than us old men. ”
The two families entered the house. One advantage of the countryside is that the place is large, and the yard of Shen Hongming's house is very large, and there is a basketball court as wide as that, which can set up several tables.
The two families sat down in the courtyard, and the table was already set with teacups and various snacks and fruits.
Wu Meilian was taken away by her sister-in-law Wang Lihua with her things, Shen Jie and Yang Xiaoxian followed Shen Xue away, and Shen Liang had to follow Shen Hao to chat with Shen Yong and uncle.
"Ah Yong is still in the factory in Lianzhou, and the benefits are okay. Shen Hongguang asked.
"It's still the same, the efficiency of the factory in the past two years is okay, and the factory has expanded from the original 200 people to 300 people. ”
"Ah Yong has also been promoted as the team leader, with more than a dozen people. Shen Hongming is proud of his son.
"Okay, I hope that next year Ah Yong can be promoted to workshop director, and then deputy factory director. Shen Hongguang encouraged his nephew.
"Brother Hao, it's good for you to be a technician, you don't have to go down to the workshop, you can also blow the air conditioner. Shen Yong said to Shen Hao.
"It's good to be a technician, but it's boring to do, and it's really not very suitable for our young people's personality. Shen Hao said.
"Big brother, how was the vegetable market last year?" Shen Hongguang asked his eldest brother.
"Alas, growing vegetables is not as good as in previous years, but last year it was not good, and two stubbles lost money. I never thought that I could lose money growing vegetables. Now there are more people growing vegetables, and the freight is more expensive, and it can't be shipped to Lianzhou. Many people in the village are not going to plant this year, and would rather leave the land wasted than lose money. Ah Yong went out to work at home, Ah Xue said that he didn't want to stay at home after graduation, only our old couple, this year, we plan to plant only one-third, and the rest can only be wasted. ”
"In the past two years, the economy has been like this, and it is better to go to work than to farm, and the fields have been barren in many places. ”
