Chapter 349: Old Wu Tou Falls and Hurts
The waiting time for the car wash was even longer than the time used on the road, and it took more than 40 minutes to wait until the car walked through the wash lane. The road from the county seat to the town has also changed, from the original gravel road to the asphalt road. However, the road surface has not been widened, and it is a county road at best.
Twenty or thirty years later, there are asphalt roads and cement roads everywhere, and the grass fragrance naturally has no big touch, but the peach fragrance is different. As the car drove all the way, she sighed all the way: "Oh! It's still called a road like this! It's so comfortable to sit in the car." On the way back from the summer vacation, the road was being repaired. Oh my god, sitting in the car was staggering, and I was really afraid that I would accidentally throw it out. ”
Cao Xiang grinned happily and listened to Taoxiang's non-stop words one after another, Liu Yujin was very comfortable driving because the road was repaired, and he was naturally willing to listen to his daughter sigh everything he wanted to sigh.
The road back from the town began to be potholed gravel again, and the breakfast in the stomach had to come out to see what was going on outside.
"Uncle, if our family has money, let's donate some money to build this road, as well as the road from the township to our house, into the kind of asphalt road just now!"
"Don't say anything like this in the future! The road from the township to my house can be repaired at the expense, but we can't take the initiative to do it. You will go home and talk to your boss, so that when you herd cattle tomorrow morning, you can talk to the Guan family to get a good time. Just say: You children want to build the road into cement, but I haven't let go. The Guan family and those people are all ghosts, and they will definitely encourage the village cadres and a few Zhuangzi leaders to come to my house to exert pressure on me to take the money out to build the road. When the time comes, I can make conditions with them, and my family will only pay for it, and nothing else will be cared for. Otherwise, if we offer to build the road, we will be annoyed and spend money, and they will get a cheap deal, saying that we are willing to spend money to build the road for the convenience of our own family......"
Cao Xiang secretly laughed, my father rolled in the business for a few years, and finally transformed from a straightforward uncle to a cunning old fox.
"Dad, when did you become so cunning and cunning?"
"Hmph! No matter how cunning Lao Tzu is, he can't compare to you little fox!"
Momo Xiangle laughed, grabbed Caoxiang's arm with both hands, and shouted: "I only know now that in the eyes of my uncle, the old sister is a cunning little fox." Hahaha"
"No! You sisters, she's the smartest and the most cunning!"
Cao Xiang rolled her eyes, ready to say a few words to rob Bai Dad, but after thinking about it, forget it. Seniors!
When they were about to get home, they were about to turn the big bend behind Lao Hai's house, when they saw the old man (Liu Baiquan) coming from the side of Yanwan Ditch, and Liu Yujin parked the car there and waited for the old man.
"Uncle, what are you doing in Yanwangou on such a cold day?"
"Hey, I'm going to Yanwangou! I'm going to the reservoir to see Lao Wu Tou and send him some money and some supplements!"
Liu Yujin let the old man into the car, closed the door, and then asked, "What's wrong with Old Wutou?"
Liu Baiquan shook his head a little angrily: "It's not that I'm sick, but I fell to the ground and broke my bones." Someone ran to my reservoir in the middle of the night to catch electricity, and he heard the dog barking, and got up in a panic to pick up people. How do you know that the ground is frosty, hard and slippery, and he slips all at once. If his eldest grandson hadn't run after him, he would have been lying on the ground all night without anyone knowing. ”
"Can I go to the hospital?"
"I didn't send it to the hospital, I found an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town to come over, and tied a frame to the broken calf, there is no big problem, but I have to recuperate for three or four months before I can move. Yesterday, it wasn't until the early afternoon that we were notified. It's not good to see patients in the afternoon, so I went there early this morning. Send a thousand dollars, two old hens, and two big black fish. You've just come back, and I still have something to discuss with you!"
When he arrived at the door of the house while speaking, Liu Yujin stopped the car, and Cao Xiang hurriedly got out of the car and helped his grandfather open the door. Liu Yujin also pulled out the car key and followed the old man into the door, asking, "What's the matter?"
He meant that he wanted to give his eldest son the work of watching fish, but I listened to his younger son muttering and was very dissatisfied, and I was afraid that the younger son of Old Wu Tou would make trouble. ”
"So what do you mean?"
"I think I skip his sons directly and use his eldest grandson. I think that young man is a diligent man, and he is filial, and he takes care of Lao Wu Tou without any hypocrisy. ”
Liu Yujin shook his head: "He is a young man, he only has 3,000 yuan a year, but I am afraid that he will not be willing to earn it!"
"It's not a lot of money, but they don't lose it! My reservoir needs to be taken care of by them for a few months, and from April to the end of October, there are Zhengyun and his family guarding it, and they don't need them at all. ”
"I know! If it is an old man like Lao Wu Tou, of course it is cost-effective, and his eldest son guards the family's farmland and does not go out to work, and it is also cost-effective to earn the 3,000 yuan for nothing. But his eldest grandson is not good, he is a good age to go out to work. You can earn at least 10,000 yuan a year outside, and you want to tie him up for 3,000 yuan, can anyone do it?"
Liu Baiquan then remembered that in recent years, young people elsewhere have to go out to work, and they will not come back for the New Year until the end of the year. This old Wu Tou's eldest grandson is only afraid that he is also working outside, so he will come back!
"I didn't think of this, so I can only use his eldest son according to the old Wu Tou's wishes. ”
"Uncle, what old Wu wants to arrange, let's not care. You Ming'er said in the past: We are still the same as before, only recognize Lao Wutou. During this time, Lao Wu Tou wants to recuperate, and who to find to help him temporarily show my family the fish, it is also up to him to decide, our Liu family does not participate, we just have to give the money to Lao Wu Tou. ”
I guess that Old Wu Tou wants to take advantage of this opportunity to set a long-term job for his eldest son. Since he didn't know what he said, I'll just pretend to be confused!"
......
Yuanyuan, who was playing in the house, saw the two sisters coming back, and was very affectionate: "Sister, why did you come back? I miss you so much, don't you all miss me?"
Momoka hugged Yuanyuan all of a sudden, kissed him left and right on his cheeks, and didn't stop in his mouth: "Think about it! Why don't you want to! I went to your kindergarten to look for you, but you weren't there! I went to your house to look for you, and you weren't there, Uncle said that you had come back first, no, I ran back quickly." ”
Yuanyuan's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit: "Really? Sister Momoka is really looking for me?"
Cao Xiang was afraid that Momoxiang would reveal the stuffing as soon as she was proud, so she hurriedly helped hug her: "Really! Really! Your sister Momoka has searched for you several times, but she hasn't found you!"
Feng Mingfang giggled when he saw his son being fooled by his two sisters, angry and funny. Carrying his son behind his back, he pointed his fingers at Caoxiang and Momoxiang, grinning and rubbing his teeth, silently scaring the two sisters. The two sisters pretended not to see, and they were wrapped around them by Yuanyuan, making trouble and playing.
