Chapter 30: Once Upon a Time
"Unload them all, they're all for you!" Chen Shu said with a smile, and the three of them immediately moved the two remaining boxes from the car.
"Do we have a cook here now?" asked Chen Shu.
"We take turns, but we don't have any experience with this, is there shrimp or crabs in the box?" asked Pang Juan.
"Pipi shrimp and crabs, don't cook them if you haven't done them, just steam them directly. Boiled the water and steamed for eleven or twelve minutes, the shrimp is delicious but not easy to peel. Chen Shu said with a smile.
"It's okay, is it too much trouble to want to eat well? That kind of person is basically out of the scope of foodies. Without waiting for them to respond, Su Yulong responded first, and when he said this, everyone laughed.
"I won't eat with you, I have to go to school tomorrow to attend the opening ceremony of the school, go home today to clean up, and I have to stay at home for a few days before going back. Chen Shu said.
"Then you go, just leave this task of eating to a few of us!" Liu Xin said, a few people laughed even more happily, Chen Shu waved his hand and drove away, and did not say anything to them at work.
After coming out, Chen Shu called Wang Zilan, and they also came out of their sister-in-law and walked back, and there was only a difference of three or five minutes.
Driving on the country road, Chen Shu felt a little that the change was too great, the road has been resurfaced and widened a lot, and when he passed through the neighboring villages, he found that the roads in their village had all been hardened with cement, but there was no Chen Shu and their village earlier, and there was no Chen Shu and their village was more comprehensive.
As soon as they arrived home, Chen Yongping and his daughter-in-law came over, mainly to see Chen Shu's parents, who hadn't seen each other for four or five months, and also to see Chen Zhigang.
"When will your house be finished?" the car drove into the alley and saw that their house was building a two-story building.
"In May, when it's almost cold, you have to top it, or you have to worry about rain. How is the efficiency of the factory this year? Pretty good, right?" asked the sister-in-law.
"Very good, it is estimated that my brother will come back for two days in the next two days, did he call you?" asked Chen Shu.
"Hit, come back tomorrow night, stay at home for two days and leave, how difficult it is for you to make the factory so big, you must not let him delay things. The sister-in-law said.
"It's not as serious as you say, the factory has been in the factory for so many years, and there are not so many verbose things. Chen Shu said, chatted with his sister-in-law for a few words, and then talked to his parents again, Chen Shu and the others hurriedly went into the house to pack their things.
Because Chen Shu's house is in the southernmost part of the village, but the road into the village is at the northernmost end of the village, he has to pass through the whole village every time he comes back, and this time he came back to see at least five families building new houses.
In fact, Chen Shu knows very well in his heart that not all of these villagers who build houses have old houses that cannot be lived, or their children are too old to live in, but they feel that they have made some money and start to compare.
I feel that my neighbors have built new houses, and if I don't build a two-story or even three-story building, it will seem like I am useless.
If you didn't build the building so luxuriously, maybe the village wouldn't be like this, at least you won't set up a standard for everyone to compare. But Chen Shu gave himself a strong reason, if he didn't build a two-story building, the children would grow up and start a family in the future, and I am afraid that they would really be a little unable to live when they go home for the Chinese New Year.
Although he was very helpless in his heart, Chen Shu couldn't say anything, if he really said this, I am afraid that someone would stand up and say that he didn't have a backache when he stood up and talked.
cleaned up the house, and then came out to say hello to the neighbors around, as for Wang Mengfei and Chen Menghan, the two children didn't care at all, they didn't enter the house again when they got out of the car, and they kept looking for ripe strawberries in the yard.
The tomatoes were not yet ripe, but the cucumbers were already ready to eat, and the two children picked strawberries and then two cucumbers in the garden at home with a scoop for water.
Dad watched the two of them in the yard, just don't trample the strawberries that are not ripe yet. Anyone can see that the children are still young and prefer such a "free-range" life in the countryside because they have a naughty place.
After breakfast the next day, Chen Shu drove a Mercedes-Benz out of the house, ready to go to his alma mater to see, originally when he was in high school, he rode a bicycle, which took about two hours, and then several people in the same village because they felt that the road was too far, they all changed to take the urban and rural shuttle, only Chen Shu insisted silently.
Although it only costs ten yuan a month, Chen Shu is still a little reluctant, even though he goes back and forth once a month. The car stops as it passes through a nursery field, which is where the trees rest in the summer.
Large patches of weeping willows, cedars and grafted acacia trees give the trees a different atmosphere, and in summer, the temperature here is significantly cooler.
After getting out of the car, Chen Shu took a few photos with his mobile phone, and just as Chen Shu was about to return to the car, a farmer in his fifties came out of the nursery yard and took a serious look at Chen Shu and his car.
"Why do I feel like I've seen you?" asked the other man suspiciously.
"I used to ride a bicycle when I was in school, and every time I came here in the summer, I would stop here and walk again, but today I remembered it when I passed by, so I stopped for a while. Chen Shu explained briefly.
"Oh, I thought you were going to buy saplings, hehehe, why don't you sit in the house for a while?" the other party smiled so simply, so that Chen Shu saw the scene of inviting him to drink water at that time.
However, as soon as the other party finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and he turned around and turned back, looking at Chen Shu seriously, "You must have been talking about this for more than ten years, right?"
Chen Shu also smiled when he asked, and then nodded silently. After getting Chen Shu's confirmation, the other party seemed to be happier, and he didn't have the idea of going back to the house, but looked at Chen Shu and the car he drove seriously.
"It's really amazing, I rode a 28 flying pigeon bicycle back then, and now it has been replaced by a Mercedes-Benz 500, amazing! Come in and rest for a while?" the other party invited Chen Shu again. But this time Chen Shu did not refuse, smiled, locked the car door, and followed into the small house on the head of the nursery.
At the beginning, Chen Shu rested here to drink water, and there was no change in the inside of the hut, and the white-plastered walls inside were darker than before. They are here all year round, in the winter to prevent the saplings from being burned, and in other seasons they are worried that the saplings will be stolen.
"How is the nursery business now, is it profitable?" asked Chen Shu.
"It's hard to do it, growing food is not profitable now, and more and more trees are planting seedlings, and they can't sell them at a high price. Usually you can't sell much at all, and if you catch up with a big order, the price is very low, and you won't make much money. The other party said.
"If you send it to Tangshan, will you send it?" asked Chen Shu.
As soon as Chen Shu asked, the other party was immediately excited, he didn't expect to meet this young man riding a bicycle back then, so he asked the other party if he drank water, and now he has become a beautiful character.
