Chapter 31: Tea is the hometown strong
"My name is Zhang Degui. ”
"At that time, I was the naughtiest in the school, except for Teacher Tang, I was not afraid of anyone, and the principal had to take a detour when he saw me. In school, Mr. Tang was only a student when I was a student, and he was willing to teach me patiently, other teachers, how can there be a bad student in their eyes, bad grades are already a capital crime, plus naughty, it is incorrigible, oops, this has been many years ago. The middle-aged man was not too dirty, he sat on the dusty chair in front of him, and happily told Lin Dong about his past, and his old bitter face was inexplicably more energetic.
"Since it's my own person, I'll call you Uncle Zhang!" Lin Dong's heart moved, and the sealed memory came out, vaguely remembering that when he said goodbye to his grandmother, there was this Zhang Degui. My grandmother has been teaching for decades, and it can be said that she is full of peach and plum, but there are few people when she says goodbye. Lin Dong felt that it was more convenient to come back to collect medicinal materials and use personal errands, the expensive person in front of him had a good character, and he looked quite honest, so he might be able to use it.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. The middle-aged man Zhang Degui shook his hands continuously.
"Uncle Zhang, I don't know if you have time, I want to ask you to do something for me. Lin Dong didn't bend around anymore, and went straight to the point.
"Ah, although I said, I have nothing to say, although Teacher Tang is gone, but her kindness to me, I Zhang Degui will not be able to repay it for the rest of my life. Zhang Degui said in the end, his voice gradually lowered, and he asked with a little embarrassment: "I don't know what you want to do? If you want to say that you have the strength to work, or run to transport these, it must be no problem, I am afraid that it is a brain, I know my own family affairs, I really don't have that ability, if you delay your big event, it's not good, I can run errands!"
"It's not a big deal. Lin Dong took out five old man's heads from his wallet and handed them to the stunned Zhang Degui.
"This ......" Zhang Degui was in a hurry to use the money, and he wanted it in his heart, but he was embarrassed.
"Uncle Zhang, you are your grandmother's student and your own person, so I can trust it. Lin Dong said his intentions: "That's the case, I'm going to buy a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains, as well as camellia, you also saw it today, just like that, but I don't have a lot of time to follow up, I want to ask Uncle Zhang to help me with this." ”
"That's all?" Zhang Degui's eyes widened.
That's too easy, right?
He still thought it was a difficult thing, who didn't want to really run errands, he had a motorcycle, and he was a farmer, so it was easier to do this job than eating beans.
Zhang Degui suddenly felt so moved, could it be this kind-hearted Xiaolin like Mr. Tang, who saw that his life was not in a good place, and deliberately gave money to himself, and was afraid that he would refuse, so he deliberately found this as an excuse?
Lin Dong gently put the money in front of Zhang Degui: "From today onwards, every day you help me run to the surrounding areas, towns and villages, where is there any medicine, help me buy a large number of medicinal materials, you can have acquaintances to call! This amount is not too much, you can collect it, what about the salary, for the time being, it is 100 yuan a day, car fuel and meal expenses, I will make up for you separately, in short, you try your best to help me run." After the harvest is finished every day, you can send it here, or you can let them send it, and you can arrange the rest of the time, and I will try not to affect the agricultural time of your family's fields. Here are five hundred dollars, which will be advanced to you as expenses. ”
Zhang Degui was happy and embarrassed: "No, no, how can this work, how can this work, how can there be a reason to collect money first if you don't work, I want to do this, how can I live with Teacher Tang and her old man! Not to mention running errands, you don't need so much money, you can give twenty or thirty a day!"
Lin Dong looked at Zhang Degui sternly.
Eyes like blades.
was so frightened that Zhang Degui, an honest man, didn't dare to breathe, so he quickly shut up and didn't dare to speak again.
Only then did he realize that the matter that the young man in front of him had decided was beyond doubt and opposition.
"Uncle Zhang, I have more important things to do, and I can't be distracted. Lin Dong suddenly smiled, Yan Sù's expression, the ice and snow melted suddenly, he reached out and patted Zhang Degui's shoulder: "If you are a good student of my grandmother, and you still miss that love in your heart, help me with this." This money is second to me, I want medicine, if I am a person who can be trusted to collect medicine for me, understand? Uncle Zhang, I call you Uncle Zhang today, I just believe you, so I hope you can help me with this!"
Lin Dong's smiling face was brighter than the sun.
Zhang Degui saw it.
Suddenly, I felt that the whole world suddenly lit up.
His heart was hot, and his voice, a little hoarse, squeezed out of his throat directly: "Okay, this favor, I helped, if you believe me, even if I break this pair of legs, I will do it for you!"
Zhang Degui said no, but Lin Dongyi insisted, and he quickly took it.
Zhang Degui didn't say much, carefully packed the medicine list written by Lin Dong for him, and went out in a hurry, he planned to ride home immediately, mobilize the strength of the whole family, contact all acquaintances, inquire about the situation of the surrounding mountain herbs, and do the errand entrusted by Lin Dong. There was a heat churning in his heart, and he didn't want to delay for a moment now. I don't know if it's because the car is driving fast, the sand and dust are in my eyes, or if today's head-on wind is a little strong, Zhang Degui always feels astringent and hot in his eyes......
The empty room was full of dust, except for the large bags and small bags that moved in, and the qiē in the house seemed to be sealed in the time film of Zài a few years ago.
Lin Dong sighed.
Family.
If there are people in the house, then it can be called home!
Lin Dong didn't want to clean up the house, he always felt that he kept it as it was, and he felt more like a child...... The things that can not be moved in the house, try not to move, especially the things in the grandmother's room, so that it will continue to be sealed and become a permanent memory.
Grandma likes to drink tea, especially when she stays up late, and there is always a pot of strong tea on the table full of various rolls and books.
However, my grandmother was not very particular about drinking tea, and I liked the camellia given by the students very much.
She is also used to drinking the bulk tea bought in the town.
Lin Dong didn't like to drink tea when he was a child.
Because it's too bitter.
At that time, he liked sweet things, the drinks should be sweet, the dumplings and tofu brains should also be sweet, and he was most excited to cook sugar water during the New Year's holidays.
"Time flies so fast!" Lin Dong felt that he had grown up in the blink of an eye, his former voice and smile, especially in front of him, the joyful laughter seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and the figure of his grandmother, who was still busy inside and outside the house, quietly disappeared. Stretching out your hand, no matter how much you thirst and how hard you try, you can't grasp that wisp of childhood that sneaks away unconsciously.
Lin Dong washed the tea set that his grandmother had used, he used to make tea for his grandmother, and his grandmother's joy and praise were the strongest motivation for him to do this. When Lin Dong was a child, he always hoped that he could grow up faster, become an adult, earn a lot of money in the future, and come back to be filial to her old man.
But he never paid attention to his grandmother's aging.
In his heart.
Grandma is never old.
It wasn't until she fell down one day and couldn't get up again that she panicked and realized that she hadn't been with her well all these years......
The water was boiling, Lin Dong did not use the immortal tea brought back from the Xiuzhen world, but like his grandmother had done before, he grabbed the local camellia and put it into the teapot, and when he closed the lid, Lin Dong paused and added another handful. Grandma preferred stronger tea, because she often stayed up late, but she didn't rest at twelve o'clock. Sitting at my grandmother's desk, I waited quietly until the fragrance of tea filled the room, and then my mind returned from the sea of memories. To be honest, the aroma of this mountain tea is not only compared with the immortal tea in the Xiuzhen world, but also compared with the spiritual tea in the Yoyo hut, which is all scum.
However, a warm memory of childhood made Lin Dong's heart particularly hot.
Gently.
Poured a cup of tea.
The color of the tea is very dark, pick it up, taste it carefully, the taste is also very strong, and the entrance is bitter.
Somehow, in this situation, Lin Dong's heart suddenly came to mind the phrase 'tea is strong in his hometown', a kind of enlightenment spontaneously emerged, and his grandmother liked to drink tea, perhaps this is the reason!
Now, he understands his grandmother's wishes a little.
