The two of them broke up in front of the village, and they didn't make an appointment to play in the afternoon and tomorrow, and there were many things to do when they went home during the school holidays, especially in this harvest season, and they were now half laborers. Wang Changning's chestnut is a late-maturing variety, which is being harvested these days, and these two days at home will only be harder than at school.

Grandpa is at home with Rarity, already cooking. The eldest uncle and his wife also took Rong Rong to collect chestnuts on the mountain, as for a few trees at my grandfather's house, my uncle and my third uncle had already helped him collect them two days ago, and now they are piled up in the backyard.

Ignoring the meal, my grandfather went under the pillow and gave it the two remittance slips, as well as the package containing the sample magazine, which my grandfather still hasn't opened.

Of course, Feng Yiping was very pleased, although he was very confident when he sent it, in fact, he was full of confidence at that time, and he also had a lot of ingredients to cheer for himself.

It's just that the family needs money very much, and he also needs money very much, this is the only way to make money for him at present, sending out two articles, it is really a desperate gamble, if it doesn't work, he can't ask his grandfather for money to submit articles to other magazines, but he didn't expect to be a draft!

The story will be so simple, he probably flipped through it, and chose one of his little jokes, which is also something he has experienced.

When their son was not yet in kindergarten, the family of three went to the farmers' market to buy groceries. On the way back, he saw a fishing net to dry, and his son didn't know what it was, so he asked Zhang Yan, who replied, "That's fishing." The son thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because the fish are not well-behaved?" The two aunts who were sitting in the fishing net at that time fluttered and laughed.

It's just a few dozen words, but it's five dollars, which is actually a lot. He showed this story to his grandfather and went to open the other package himself.

He tore open the thick, large, cowhide envelope with his hand, which contained three new October issues of Harvest and a letter from the editor. He flipped to the page of his article and read it quickly, with little change, before reading the editor's letter.

The editor's letter is not long, but it is handwritten. It is said that his works are close to life, the protagonists are vividly portrayed, and the theme is also very much in line with the mainstream of today's society - in today's words, it is political correctness, and now the Hope Project is in full swing. However, he still has a lot of room for improvement in writing and sentence construction, and I hope that he will continue to make progress in the process of work and life in the future, feel with his heart, observe more carefully, and create more and better works that reflect the lives of ordinary people.

Grandpa looks at his pencil work with reading glasses, and Rarity babbles and stretches out her chubby hand to tear the colorful cover from her grandfather's hand. Feng Yiping walked over to pick up Rarity, and his grandfather said, "Let's put it in for now, wait and take a good look, and now we will eat first." ”

"Okay grandfather, I'll leave this book for you. ”

Grandpa couldn't help but praise him, "Yiping, it's a small matter of making money, I'm glad that you have this talent!" The postman who delivered the letter told me that for so many years, only a few people in the whole town have received manuscript fees, and all of them have been published in the county newspapers, and the most is only seven yuan, which is completely incomparable with you. ”

Feng Yiping's joy.

Grandpa educated him again, "Yiping, no matter how powerful it is, you must remember, don't be proud, and don't delay your studies because of writing this, if you don't study well, you can't get into the county's No. 1 middle school, and you won't be able to go to college in the future, then the gains outweigh the losses, remember?"

"I know, Grandpa. "No way, who told you that you are still a teenager, similar words, at least for a few years.

There are only three dishes at noon, and it is estimated that my grandfather, who usually eats alone, has not cooked so many dishes for a long time. There's meat, there's tofu, there's cucumber. Rarity is still boiled with tofu, and Rarity doesn't have to eat, just use his small plastic bowl with a bowl of soup and tofu.

Slice the cucumber, stir-fry it with chili peppers, and put the garlic on it when it comes out of the pan, it is very fragrant.

The meat is very special, Feng Yiping has only eaten it at his grandfather's place, it is vole meat, and he caught it in the field behind. The fur is removed, the internal organs are cleaned, washed several times, then salted, exposed to the sun, and finally hung on the fire pit to smoke, which tastes no different from bacon.

Grandpa kept sandwiching meat for him, and Feng Yiping felt a little sad as he ate it.

My grandfather is now old, he can't make a lot of money, and now he doesn't even smoke, and he has worked hard to raise his four sons, but he can't rely on any of them until now. If you want to eat some meat, you can't afford to buy it, so you can only find a way to catch voles by yourself, although vole meat tastes really good, but this is really not a thing to be happy about.

"Grandpa, tomorrow, I want to go to town and get the money. Today, the teacher urged the tuition fee, which cost forty-five yuan, and then I also wanted to buy two sets of sportswear to replace, and then buy a pair of rubber shoes, which was about seventy yuan. As for you, you also buy a pair of shoes, and the weather is getting cooler, you can also buy a set of thicker clothes, and you can also ask the tailor to do it, okay?"

"If you have money for tuition, you should pay it, now that the season changes, you should buy two sets of clothes, I originally changed clothes, and at such an old age, I usually don't have any relatives to move around, what clothes do you need to buy?"

Feng Yiping said, "Grandpa, you haven't made new clothes for several years, and besides, it doesn't cost a lot of money to pull the cloth and ask the tailor to do it, plus a pair of leather shoes, at most a hundred yuan." I'm going to have dinner at your place on weekends for the next few months, and I'm going to have to pay for my living expenses? Besides, if you hadn't paid for it, I wouldn't have even had the money to send letters, and I wouldn't have this manuscript fee. ”

"Yiping, although you earned this money yourself, but you know your mother's temper, you are such a big spend, when they come back during the Chinese New Year, how do you explain to them?"

"Explain what you want," Feng Yiping took a bite of food and said nonchalantly.

This money is not the New Year's money given by the elders or something, it is earned by himself, and he always has some control. Judging from the current situation, there will be a big turnaround in the family this year, and by the end of the year, almost all foreign debts can be repaid, and the way for parents to make money is also pointed out by themselves, so it is not good to be too harsh on themselves.

"I'm not spending money indiscriminately, grandfather, you know, my parents haven't bought me new clothes for three years, and the weather is getting colder, and I don't even have a decent coat. I'll buy two sets of looser sportswear, which are similar to the school uniforms of the middle school in the town, and they can also be used as coats in the spring and autumn. There are also shoes, from childhood to adulthood, wearing cloth shoes made by my mother, usually fine, to walk on a rainy day no matter how careful it is inevitable to get wet, just buy a pair of double star shoes of about 20 yuan, how can it not be said that it is a waste of money!"

Hearing him say this, Mei Jianzhong was also a little sad, five children, the eldest daughter's family is currently the most difficult. Every year during the Spring Festival, among the children who come to the village to pay New Year's greetings, this grandson is the most shabby, but he is sensible and has never quarreled with his family for these.

Before his wife left, he fell ill and spent all his savings, and he was powerless to help, and now the grandchildren add up to nearly ten, only helping his grandson, and the family will inevitably have a turmoil. Now that the child has made his own money and grown up, as the saying goes, he also knows that he has seen a hobby and wants to buy a replacement of clothes, which he really should.

In the past few decades, Mei Jianzhong's life was actually good, at least in the village, he was middle-level, about dressing, his concept was that he didn't have to be better than people, but not too much worse than others, so he agreed, for fear that his daughter and son-in-law would have to teach his grandson a lesson.

He sandwiched another chopstick meat for Feng Yiping, "That's it, you make money this year, your parents also make money, the family is having a good time, buy what you should buy, and when they come back, they say that I asked you to buy it, and they have opinions to let them come to me." ”

With his grandfather in front, he is indeed better than Feng Yiping facing his parents directly, of course he has no objection.

"What about the rest of the money, and nearly two thousand, what are you going to do?" asked his grandfather.

"The rest of the money, the big head, I think I still have to buy more chestnuts now. Mom and Dad now they buy more than a dozen catties a day, a month is three or four hundred catties, now there are more than three months to the end of the year, how can you also have a thousand catties, then there is still a gap of three or four hundred catties, Mom and Dad are doing it well, this business can be done for many years, and it is not much to buy another five hundred catties. We can't receive three yuan a pound now, and if we buy it in the provincial capital, it would be good to buy four yuan a pound, so it is economical to buy it now. ”

"Well, the chestnuts on your top are ripe early, and now they are almost all sold, and they are being collected here, we can buy them with cash, it's easy, so buy a 500 catties?"

Feng Yiping calculated, "Just buy a 600 catties, it will cost almost 1,800 yuan, and then get rid of the money I paid for tuition and clothes, there may be more than 200 yuan left, then you take it, weigh some meat every weekend, call the children of the eldest uncle and the third uncle's family over, we will eat together, you are also lively here." ”

Mei Jianzhong didn't object, a lonely old man, of course he likes his grandson, but these little guys, you really can't keep anything without anything. Besides, the eldest grandson is also the time to grow his body, and he eats pickled vegetables five or six days a week, and his nutrition can't keep up.

The next day, the grandfather and grandson went to town together and withdrew all the money. Feng Yiping bought two sets of sportswear, a pair of double stars, adding up to eighty yuan, Mei Jianzhong bought cloth and was going to make a set of tunics, and Feng Yiping forcibly bought him a pair of leather shoes of fifty yuan, adding up to ninety-five, but it cost more.

The two deliberately went home after lunch, when everyone was busy in the mountains, and the uncle's family was really not there. Mei Jianzhong fried a bowl of soybeans and mixed them in pickles, Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Grandpa, the dishes I brought this time have gone up a notch." ”

Not only did the dishes go up a notch, but he also got five yuan of pocket money for the first time, which was unprecedented, and Mei Jianzhong also believed that he would not spend it indiscriminately.
