Chapter 16: Parents' Decisions

The weather finally cooled down, and after finishing the daily work, Mei Qiuping was rare

I had insomnia for several nights, but Feng Zhenchang next to him slept very soundly. Every night,

Feng Zhenchang will drink some soju steamed by the craftsmen in the village, and he doesn't drink much.

Drink a cup every night, but it is better to sleep.

Mei Qiuping tossed and turned, simply sat up, felt very hot, and woke up Feng Zhenchang, who was snoring.

"What's wrong again?" asked the dazed Feng Zhenchang angrily.

Mei Qiuping didn't bother to bother with him, "You sleep soundly every night! What do you think of the sugar-fried chestnuts that Yiping said?"

Hearing this, Feng Zhenchang also came to his senses, "I think of course I can do it, I will go to the dam of the township power station to pick up a few loads of sand and come back, the sand there is uniform in size and clean." Wait for the chestnuts to be harvested next month, let's fry them first, do it according to what a flat paper says, it's a big deal to fry a few catties of chestnuts, we can always make that taste, and then we will go to the provincial capital!"

Mei Qiuping complained to him angrily, "You are also a Ma Daha, and you have never even been to the county in Yiping, just based on what your classmates said, you believe it?"

"No matter what you say, Yiping won't lie to us with such a thing!" Feng Zhenchang was actually a little hesitant, but what he thought was to fry it out first.

Mei Qiuping is anxious, she can't do it, she wants to settle down quickly, "In this way, tomorrow you don't have to go up the mountain, repair the chicken coop at home, and mend the fence in the vegetable garden behind the house, I will go back to my parents' house and tell my father that the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, Yiliang will always call home, and then I will call him back and ask clearly!"

Mei Yiliang is her youngest brother, who has not yet started a family and has been in the provincial capital all these years.

"Okay, ask me sooner and give birth sooner. Feng Zhenchang knew his wife's temperament, and she was in a hurry, and she couldn't sleep well when she had something in her heart.

There is another one who has insomnia like Mei Qiuping, and Mei Jianzhong can't sleep well these days. He is also an acute son, and at this point, his daughter follows him. His grandson had been sending things out for half a month, although when he sent them, his grandson repeatedly told him that it would take at least more than a month to hear back, and he was still a little relieved.

When I thought about my grandson's letter, I confidently told him that one of the two places would adopt his work. Of course, maybe the grandson also felt that in front of him, this was a bit too full, and later added a sentence that if he didn't adopt either place, he could also submit it to other magazines. He didn't know how his grandson's article was written, but after listening to his grandson read it, he felt that it was very close to life, and it also moved him a little.

He also knew that his grandson was so old, that it was not easy to make money in the countryside, that he had never had pocket money, and that he had never asked what the family wanted, so he rushed to ask him for a few yuan to send a letter this time, and his grandson was still somewhat sure.

He had never heard of a person who could turn his own words into lead characters and publish them in a book published by the state. Imagining that his 12-year-old grandson might be the first person like this, he was a little excited.

These days, when I saw the letter delivered by the post office, I asked if there was any letter from him, and repeatedly told the postman that if his letter arrived, especially if there was a remittance order, don't make a noise, just give it to him quietly, and give him a good cigarette at that time, so that the postman who doesn't know what is going on is confused.

At noon that day, when Mei Jianzhong was carrying a hoe home to cook, he saw his eldest daughter coming back and was helping her wash the quilt.

"Why are you here, something?"

Mei Qiuping poured him a cup of tea, "Listen to Yiping go back and tell me, are you okay these days?"

"It's quite healthy," Mei Jianzhong sat in the courtyard, looking at the bamboo poles, full of dried clothes, "You don't have to wash it with me every time you come, I will wash it myself." ”

Mei Qiuping smiled, "I don't know you yet, put the clothes in the basin, pour the laundry detergent, stand up and step on it, even if it's washed, right?"

Mei Jianzhong changed the topic, "You come down without a festival, something is wrong?"

"Is there something wrong, did Yiliang call back?"

"No, I've received 5 letters from him over the years, and I usually don't have many phone calls, but in two days from the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will call. Looking for him?"

"There's something I want to ask him," Mei Qiuping said hesitantly.

"Oh, so I'll tell him to call him then?"

"Okay, let's hit the village. ”

Mei Jianzhong didn't ask anything, he was worried that his daughter would know about Feng Yiping's submission to the magazine, so he came to ask him, but fortunately, it wasn't.

The father and daughter didn't talk for long, and the eldest son's family returned. The eldest son carries two hoes, the daughter-in-law hugs Rarity, and after a while, Rongrong also comes home from school.

Of course, I ate at my brother's place at noon, and my uncle Guosheng said that he would go to the town to weigh some meat, but Mei Qiuping stopped him and said that he would go all the way to the town, and at this time he didn't know if there was anything left, so he didn't need it. Guosheng asked his wife to take the money, who knew that his daughter-in-law would not come out after entering the room for a long time, he was very embarrassed. Thinking that the family didn't have much money, not long ago my nephew came, so I went to weigh the meat, so I went to scoop a liter of soybeans, and asked Rong Rong to take her younger brother to the tofu workshop in the village to exchange for tofu and come back.

Mei Qiuping came down in a hurry today because she had something to do, and she always wanted to earn hundreds of dollars a month from selling sugar and fried chestnuts, otherwise with her temper, she would have a good deal with her brother and daughter-in-law. Even so, at this meal, only two little guys ate tofu and eggs, and they were very happy.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Feng Yiping's first homeroom teacher, Mei Qiuping, had no intention of doing anything that day, and at noon, the women's director of the village came to her house and told her that her younger brother Yiliang would call the village department an hour later. She was very happy, and she didn't care about waiting for Feng Zhenchang to come home for dinner, so she took a dollar, locked the door and went to the village with the women's director.

The village department went to Fengjiachong, and there were more than three miles back and forth, so those who came to the door to inform and answer the phone had to give the village department a dollar.

When Mei Qiuping answered the phone and rushed home in a hurry, Feng Zhenchang also came back, had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and was waiting for her to eat.

"Asked Yoshira?"

"Well, I asked him if he had eaten fried chestnuts with sugar in the provincial capital? How many people bought them?"

"What did Yoshira say?"

Mei Qiuping poured half a jar of coarse tea in one go, with a smile on her face, "Yiliang also said that it was six yuan a catty, and there are not too many people who sell it, but at least 20 catties a day can be sold." ”

"Hehe," Feng Zhenchang also smiled, "Okay, rest assured, you can sleep peacefully at night! ”

Yoshira said that he would also come back when he was harvesting chestnuts. ”

"That's better, let's fry it and let him taste it to see if it tastes, and if he thinks it's okay, he will ask him to find us a house when he goes back to the provincial capital, as well as a stove and other things that should be purchased." ”

Mei Qiuping took a few bites of food, "Then what about the bunch of things at home after we leave, pigs, chickens, and the fields?" Also, the most urgent thing is to ask for money, travel expenses, renting a house, and buying tea oil and sugar, which add up to hundreds, where can we make up for this?"

Feng Zhenchang had already thought about it, "The millet has been harvested early, the peanuts have also been pulled, and there is not much left in the field, that is, rape, and they will watch it." As for the chickens, the door key is given to Wei Dong's family, and they can help feed it, and it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of sprinkling a few handfuls of grain a day. The money, without worry, just fell on the pigs. ”

"Are you saying that you killed the pig? Is the meat easy to sell at this time? The day before yesterday, the next door killed a pig, that is, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise it won't be sold out. Mei Qiuping was not optimistic about this idea.

"It's okay, I'll go around the village tonight, ask how many people can buy, if no one buys, I'll go to the town to find a pig dealer, our own raised, no feed pigs, a pound can have a piece of ** to two yuan, so calculated, at least there can be a five hundred yuan, if it is not enough, the rent money will be called Yiliang to help us first, he has been outside for so many years, these hundreds of dollars should be there, and we will sell the money to pay him back." ”

"Okay, let's eat early in the evening, you go around, kill the pigs and sell them yourself, the price of meat can be higher, and the lard pigs go into the water, so we can keep some of them." ”

Mei Qiuping was a little unwilling, she was lucky this year, she bought a little piglet of about 20 catties in the second half of last year, she had never been sick once, and she could eat it, and now she has said that she has more than 250 catties. In this, the hardest is her, in addition to the daily things to do, she has to play at least two large baskets of pigweed a day, otherwise the pigs will not be enough to eat. Although most of the pigs have been sold in the past few years, she has to stay some, and there are no one or two like this, and she is really unhappy in her heart.

"Okay, okay,", Feng Zhenchang sandwiched a chopstick meat for her, today's Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, they also weighed the meat, the fish pond contracted by the nephew of the former nephew is fishing today, knowing that they have no money and are reluctant to buy it, they sent a grass carp and five small crucian carp, so today's dish can be regarded as rich. "Think about it, according to a flat calculation, you can earn hundreds of yuan a month, isn't it possible to buy a pig in a month?"

Well, when it comes to earning a few hundred yuan a month, Mei Qiuping is happy.
