Chapter 160: Homecoming
PS: Thank you for the tip!
was talking to Tian Zhongchi and others about Wei Hang and others, and Tian Zhongchi also returned to his hometown town. His hometown is still far from the airport, and he has to take a long-distance bus back to the town, which takes more than half a day, plus some delay in the middle, and he spent the night in a different place. The main thing is to see a friend, someone invited.
Back in the familiar town, at this time, the bleak night market also began to be put out, some more leisurely people, found three or five confidants, a few people gathered at a table, and chatted all over the world.
"Boss, do you want to get in a car?" said a motorcyclist.
Seeing Tian Zhongchi with so much luggage, he knew that he had come back from other places to make money. This kind of guest is more bold, and the bargaining is not so strong, and they like it more by motorcycle guys.
"How much does it cost to return to Zhenyun Village?" Tian Zhongchi asked.
He knows the price, as long as the difference is not big, then forget it. In addition, now that it is getting dark, the price will generally be a little more expensive, which is also understandable. Besides, he also wanted to get home early.
"The road in that village is not easy to walk! Plus it's dark now!Boss, I won't cheat you, eighteen yuan!" the motorcycle guy began.
This price is fair, a little higher, and Tian Zhongchi didn't care. After all, they are also people who have made money and returned to their hometowns, and it seems unreasonable to bargain here for a dollar or two.
"Yes, help me tie my things to the back of the car!" Tian Zhongchi began.
Seeing that Tian Zhongchi had even saved the bargain, the driver was overjoyed, and quickly parked the car, then untied the strap on the back of the car and tied up the luggage.
"Okay, sit tight. The motorcyclist reminded.
On the way, he knocked and pushed, and probably learned about Tian Zhongchi's situation. It turned out that he went to the south to be a crew member, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to make money as a crew member. He was very impressed. The salary is actually five or six thousand.
Tian Zhongchi has not sued him yet, and the bonus is tens of thousands of yuan this month. If he learns the news, this motorcycle driver will probably buy the motorcycle immediately and immediately go south to eat!
Half an hour later, Tian Zhongchi returned to Zhenyun Village as he wished. The driver untied the luggage and asked with concern, "Do you want to help deliver it home?"
He saw Tian Zhongchi so much luggage, how could he take it alone? He had to carry it several times, right?
Tian Zhongchi declined the driver's kindness: "Thank you! No, my home is very close, and that is the one." I shouted, and my family would come. ”
He paid twenty dollars. simply said that there was no need to look for it, and it was bold once.
Two more dollars for plain and white, tomorrow the child's school breakfast has been settled, and the driver thanked him again and again before driving away. They work as drivers in their hometowns, and they don't mix well. If, on a daily basis, you can meet such passengers, thank God.
In addition to a large bag of dried fish, there is also a bag of items that I have with me. There are shells and other things that I brought back, as well as my own clothes. There is also a bag of snacks such as biscuits that he has prepared, as well as new clothes for his parents.
He was just about to leave the dried fish in place. I'll come back and get it later. At this time, a flashlight shone through.
"Oh, it's the third brother, it's so late, the fourth uncle, they must have eaten. So much stuff, I'll help you get a little!"
Hearing this voice, Tian Zhongchi already knew who it was. This is one of his cousin's sons. I don't read anymore. Usually, just help out at home, if there is something to do in town. He might go and make some cigarette money.
"Xiao Wu, come out so late, aren't you afraid that the uncle will scold you to death?" Tian Zhongchi said with a smile.
"What are you afraid of, scolding every day, I've long been immune. ”
Tian Zhongchi had nothing to say. Seemingly, this guy is really in this situation.
"This can't be dried fish, is it? The young man who was called Xiao Wu by Tian Zhongchi approached, his nose twitched, and he immediately asked about the fishy smell.
"Your nose is normal. That's right, it's seafood, go back, you take some home, and let the uncle taste it too. This is Brother Tian, I personally dried it. Tian Zhongchi said as he walked.
Xiao Wu has long heard that this third brother is doing well in the south and has made a lot of money. It is said that he was a crew member and went out to sea to fish every day, and it has been rumored in the village.
Some time ago, a matchmaker came to the door and said that she would introduce her daughter to his third brother. In the past, when they saw the third brother as a soldier, many women disliked it, but now they don't mind when they hear that they have made a lot of money and has a future.
"The sea is beautiful, isn't it? a lot of fish? those fish are big, right?" At this time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.
It's a pity, he hasn't even walked out of the city, and the farthest is when he was studying, and he went to the city for two years. I didn't finish high school, and my grandfather was seriously ill and couldn't afford him to study. In addition, he didn't really want to read it himself, so he packed up his things and left school very quickly.
In this way, the family has less pressure, and they are happy, and more importantly, the head teacher and the school are also happy, and finally sent away a lagging one.
"Well, pretty, if you have a chance in the future, you will know when you go and see it. The sea is huge, take a boat out, and after half an hour, all you see is the sea except for the sky above. There are also a lot of fish, and a school of fish may exceed a million, which is terrifying. Some of the fish are very large, I have seen hundreds of catties, and I don't know how many catties of sharks I saw that time. He shared what he had gained from his time with others.
When Xiao Wu heard that there were so many millions, he was immediately shocked, and he felt that he was exaggerating? Usually, one of their fish ponds is a hundred or dozens of domestic fish, how many times is this? He is not very good at mathematics, and his oral arithmetic is even more of a mess, and he feels messy after a long time of silent calculations in his heart.
"Why? I don't believe it! I'll take you to see it when I have a chance in the future. ”
Xiao Wu immediately followed the pole and said, "Okay! This is what you said, third brother." ”
First of all, you have to ask the uncle, and besides, I have to help you find a job in the south. ”
"You can't do it with the third brother, right? He also told the fourth uncle some time ago, when will you let the third brother take care of me. Xiao Wu suddenly became anxious.
"You can't say this with me, I also work for other people. However, I can help you ask the boss. If he is short of people, I will let you know. ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already come to a low mud house, revealing yellow, orange and orange lights, and the sparse figure extended to the door, and they heard a familiar voice coming, Tian Zhongchi was a little excited.
Before Xiao Wu entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, third brother is home, come out to pick up guests!"
Tian Zhongchi suddenly laughed and scolded: "This is your own home, what kind of guests do you pick up?"
There was still something he didn't say in his heart: this pick-up sounded weird, similar to those who used to visit the kiln.
The people in the house heard the shouting and ran out one by one, and the lights at the door were still on. In addition to his parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law, there are two children.
"It's the third uncle who is back. "The two children were delighted. Every time this uncle comes back, he will give them both delicious food and pocket money.
"Hehe, you're finally home. It's a lot faster than before. Tian Zhongchi's eldest brother smiled.
In the past, it took nearly three days to take the train back, plus the transfer of trains, etc.
"It's definitely fast, this time I flew back and the boss bought us the ticket. I went to see a friend on the way and stayed overnight, otherwise I might have returned home yesterday. Mom, this thing is a bit heavy, I'll just take it......"
Tian Zhongchi said hello one by one, and pinched the little faces of his nephews and nieces, saying that he had bought their favorite jelly, biscuits, etc.
His sister-in-law immediately went into the kitchen and ordered the brother-in-law to eat. Different from the south, they mainly eat noodles, steamed buns and buns here.
Seeing that their son took out the gifts he bought for everyone one by one, the parents were very pleased, and they also complained a little: what are you buying so many things for? It's a waste of money.
The two little guys, when they got toys and snacks, didn't want them, and each played with their own things.
"What are they going to do when they buy something so expensive? they're going to be spoiled by their parents and your kid. Tian Zhongchi's eldest brother said helplessly.
Looking at the dilapidated walls of the house, the white hair on his parents' heads, the thick calluses on his eldest brother's hands, and the clothes on his nephews and nieces, Tian Zhongchi's heart was a little sour.
"It's okay, the money is earned and it has to be used. He took out the tens of thousands of cash he brought back and gave it to his eldest brother.
"Another day, brother, you can have someone renovate our house. The money was a bonus from the boss at the back, and I took it out when I was in the city. "It's more troublesome to withdraw money in the town, so Tian Zhongchi took out all the money just to renovate the house and make the family more comfortable.
Looking at the money in his younger brother's hand, Tian Chengchi breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the second brother is out of work and has made money, the family will be a little easier.
At this time, Tian's father spoke: "The house can still be lived, don't be busy first." Your grandfather is still using a lot of money, and he can't help his illness, so let's try our best!"
Tian Zhongchi was shocked, listening to his father's tone, his grandfather's illness seemed to be very serious.
Before, his parents just told him that his grandfather's old problem had recurred, and comforted him and said that he should work hard and don't worry so much, this is all an old problem.
He didn't know that this was because his family didn't want to worry Tian Zhongchi, who was already working hard to make money, so he avoided the important and said it lightly.
"Yes, Grandpa's illness is a bit serious, and he needs a lot of money to take medicine. We were going to have surgery, but where could we come up with so much money? It cost 250,000 yuan, and we put it together, that is, more than 100,000 yuan. Tian Chengchi also agreed with his father's approach.
"Grandpa, he's going to have surgery now, can he solve it by taking medicine?"
Faced with this, Tian's father and Tian Chengchi were silent. Taking medicine can only delay a little time, and the doctor has made it clear that surgery must be done to solve it completely. But in their case, even the old man also made it clear that he was not allowed to borrow money again, otherwise he would not cooperate with the operation.
"Yesterday, the hospital came to inform me again, saying that my grandfather's situation could only be delayed for two or three months. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Xiao Wu told Tian Zhongchi, which made Tian Zhongchi's face change greatly. (To be continued......)
