At six o'clock in the afternoon in the summer, the sky is still extremely bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Yuanzhong and his nephew Zhang Hui have completed all the things that Lin Zeng ordered. They greeted Lin Zeng before driving the old second-hand truck and leaving Lin Zeng's nursery.

They are very happy these days. Lin Zeng's work here is not heavy, but the checkout is very fast, and every night after work, Lin Zeng directly transfers the daily salary to their card.

"Uncle, Boss Lin is a very good person, but I don't know how long I can work, recently there are more and more migrant workers in Qinghe City, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find a job. Zhang Hui drove the car and said with some concern.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhang Yuanzhong waved his dark and rough arms, grinned and said, in their awkward hometown dialect, "Ah Hui, let's do it well, things are done clearly, in the future, Boss Lin will have a job, the first thing that comes to mind is us, I think Boss Lin's business will get bigger and bigger, and there are more places that need people." Look at the seedlings sold in Boss Lin's online store, they are growing up at home, and your aunt fried me a plate of that dish yesterday, and it tastes good. ”

"That's it, uncle, Xiaoxiao now likes the tomatoes and leafy greens grown at home. She is the one who is in charge of watering every day. Zhang Hui saw the red light on, stepped on the brakes, and said to his uncle with a smile.

"That's it, your aunt is happy, and she has always said that she doesn't have to spend money to buy vegetables in the future, and she needs to grow two more. ”

Zhang Yuanzhong and his nephew Zhang Hui chatted casually, and after about half an hour, the pickup truck turned into an old-fashioned residential area with only seven or eight floors.

"Uncle, you go back first, I'll park the car and go home directly. Zhang Hui parked the car under a residential building, turned his head and said to Zhang Yuanzhong.

"Ah Hui, let's go to your uncle's house for dinner today. Zhang Yuanzhong said as he carried the sweaty coat in his hand.

"No need, Xiaoxiao must be waiting for me at home, she will be in a hurry when she goes back late. Zhang Hui shook his head, in the hot summer, on the roof of the top floor, he was busy all day, dealing with soil and plants, and he was also sweating. However, the job is much easier than a lot of heavy physical work. And he has work to do every day, and he can raise his daughter at home, and he is also at ease.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is so small, so well-behaved, I really don't know why your daughter-in-law is willing to leave you. Zhang Yuanzhong shook his head, pushed the car door and said.

"Okay, uncle, don't say it, she's not my daughter-in-law, we're divorced. Zhang Hui's face sank.

"Okay, okay, Uncle won't say anything. Zhang Yuanzhong waved his hand and turned to go up the stairs.

Zhang Yuanzhong dragged his heavy steps and walked up to the suite on the sixth floor of the top floor. This small suite of more than 70 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, was bought by him the year before last when he worked in Qinghe City for more than ten years and saved money. At that time, my wife strongly objected, saying that she wanted to go back to her hometown in Sichuan Province to build a four-story building.

The mother-in-law has long hair and short knowledge.

After two years of waiting, the housing prices in Qinghe City have skyrocketed, and now this house has been sold, and it has earned at least 100,000 yuan! If you really take that money and go back to your hometown to build a house, can you earn more than 100,000 yuan?

Those villagers who returned to their hometowns to build buildings have repented of their bowels.

The door was unlocked, and his wife, who got off work from a nearby fast food restaurant, was frying vegetables in a plastic apron, and when she saw Zhang Yuanzhong coming back, she shouted with a smile: "Lao Zhang, come back!"

"Have you started eating?" Zhang Yuanzhong touched his hungry stomach, and asked with a smile, "Are Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao back?"

"No, they're late for today's basketball game. Zhang Yuanzhong's wife, Zhao Jing, brought out a pot full of stir-fried vegetables and put it on the table.

"So much, I haven't eaten so happily in years. Zhang Yuanzhong and Zhao Jing are both from the countryside, in the past, in the countryside, the vegetables in their fields were always unfinished, but they didn't expect that when they arrived in the city, the leafy vegetables in the market were also expensive, they felt that spending money on vegetables was a waste of money, and they were reluctant to buy more, and would rather use the money to sell meat. Every time, the family would have a plate of leafy vegetables, and they would not enjoy eating it before.

"Yes, this leafy vegetable that climbs along the wall grows well. I take rice water every day to water it, and I also use fertilizer on the balcony once every three days. Now you can save money for vegetables and sell meat to Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao. By the way, how long can the boss who has been working recently still be able to do it? It's better to do it for a few more days, the medicine cost of Grandpa Xiaoguang at home is still a little worse, if we can do it for a little longer, we can also be easier. ”

"It's okay. Zhang Yuanzhong didn't want to say more to his wife, so he first filled a bowl full of white rice, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the green vegetables and the braised fat meat on the table, and in a blink of an eye, half a bowl of rice was in his stomach.

"Don't say anything else, you can go get a few more seedlings of these greens. You can get more variety, and you won't have to worry about eating more vegetables. Zhang Jing took off her apron and sat on the table and said.

Zhang Yuanzhong didn't answer her words, because the phone he put on the desktop rang.

"Hey, hey, Boss Lin, it's me. Zhang Yuanzhong tried to speak Mandarin accurately.

"Yes, my nephew and I are free during this time. It's the same job as that day at school, it's just painting the walls, right, it's very simple. We promise to do it well. After receiving Lin Zeng's call and hearing that there was work to do again, Zhang Yuanzhong was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

Zhang Hui parked the small truck in the old place, went to the pastry shop near the community, and bought a pound of mung bean cake and two banana-flavored cakes. I went to the nearest seafood shop to the community, bought a grass carp of more than three catties and half a catty of white shrimp, and walked home happily.

In the community where Zhang Yuanzhong lives, he rented a small suite with one bedroom and one living room, and lived with his daughter, who was in the second grade, with a monthly rent of 1,022.

The daughter is small and well-behaved and sensible, every day after school, she does her homework at home, and she can also cook rice with a rice cooker and wait for him to come back to eat together. It is precisely because of the existence of his daughter that Zhang Hui spent that period of being abandoned by his wife and suffering unspeakably, and he was determined to struggle, at least like his uncle, to buy a small house for his daughter.

When the key opened the door, Zhang Hui couldn't see his waist-high daughter, flashed her big bright eyes, and threw herself into his arms.

"Daddy, Daddy is back! I cooked mung bean rice today, and it's delicious. The teacher said that mung bean rice can relieve the heat, Dad, you can eat it. With a small face up, Zhang Hui's daughter is small, her mouth is like a machine gun, and Balabala keeps talking.

Zhang Hui smiled and listened to his daughter's chatter, one arm, holding up his daughter, "Little baby, Dad bought you your favorite mung bean cake and banana cake, you go eat a piece, Dad will cook for you." ”

"Wow, I love my dad the most. The little girl with pigtails bounced up and down to the bag of pastries, carefully held a quick mung bean cake, followed behind Zhang Hui, who was cooking, and said in a cooing voice, "Dad, Dad, I did my homework quickly, and I did my homework at school." ”

"My chick is awesome. ”

"Dad, Dad, the plants you brought back are so good, I like them so much, I water them every day, and my aunt also taught me to use the water for washing rice and watering the flowers! Much better than the plants in the school plant corner. The little girl nibbled off a corner of the mung bean cake and said happily as she pointed to the lush vine tomatoes and vine leafy vegetables in the living room.

"Little awesome, can you go and help Daddy pick some green leaves? Put them in the washing basin, and we'll fry the greens today." Zhang Hui handed the vegetable washing basin to his daughter and said encouragingly. is different from the taciturn appearance in front of outsiders, he is in front of his daughter, a cheerful and sunny father.

"Okay," the little girl took the last bite of the mung bean cake, touched her belly, and gladly accepted the job, "I'll go pick the leaves, and then wait for Daddy to make the braised fish." ”
