Chapter 40: Credit, Thanks, Thanks
Xiang Gang sold the valuable things in the family that year, went to the county seat to buy a coffin, and buried the neighbor's uncle, and insisted on keeping filial piety for the uncle for three years despite the bad attitude of the villagers' white eyes and spittle, and at the age of fourteen, he left the village with his bags on his back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
No one knows where he went back then, and they don't think he'll come back for this life. After all, the memories left to him by his hometown are really not good. It's completely understandable not to come back.
"He's a poor boy, too. After Grandma Zhang finished telling Qingling about Xiang Gang's life experience, she wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed lightly, "The adults made sins, let a child bear it, and those rap women, I have to say that he is the reincarnation of an unlucky star when I talk about this matter......
They squatted in the stove room and talked very quietly. The two men who were splashing water in the yard and moving tables and chairs would not hear it.
But even if he hears it, Xiang Gang won't care. If he cares, why should he come back today?
Xiang Gang in the courtyard was asked by Zhang Youkang about the situation over the years, and picked out the key points.
At the age of fourteen, he left Yanqi Village and went out to explore. inadvertently saved the life of a high-powered chief, and when asked about his life experience, he learned that the chief was the one who gave his grandfather and father red belts and award certificates.
When the old chief learned of his family's situation, he sighed. sighed that if Xiang Yongliang had been persuaded to enlist in the army, Xiang's family might not have been in this situation.
Seeing that he had good qualifications and was willing to endure hardships, he recommended and supported him to study at the military academy. It is also thanks to Xiang Gangcheng, who performed well during the military academy, and after graduation, he entered the army led by the old chief with the best results, and has been working hard all the way.
Xiang Gang said it lightly, but Zhang Youkang didn't think that his journey was really so smooth, but seeing that the kid didn't want to say more, it was inconvenient to ask more.
"It's good to have time to come back and have a look. Zhang Youkang sighed lightly, as if he remembered something, turned around and glanced at the stove room, lowered his voice and said, "You don't know that your Uncle Jianjun is gone, right?"
Xiang Gang sat upright with a solemn expression: "I heard what Xiaofang said." ”
"The girl already told you?" Zhang Youkang was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief, "Yes, it's been three years, and it's time to come out of grief." That kid isn't easy either...... After you left, the Jianjun couple weeded and added soil to the grave of your family and Lao Li Tou every Qingming and Winter Solstice. ”
Xiang Gang nodded: "I saved it." ”
"It's good to save it. Zhang Youkang nodded, seeing that Xiang Gang had already poured cool well water on the yard twice, and the heat was finally not so heavy, he beckoned him to sit down and rest.
"Yo, such a basket full of herbs?" After finishing the work at hand, the old doctor found the basket of herbs in the corner, first surprised, and then frowned, "That girl has entered the mountain again?" said that she has said how many times, there are wolves and wild boars in the mountains, and she doesn't want her life?"
Qingling came out with the cold mixed ice grass, and when she heard the words, she stumbled and almost dropped the bowl.
She said, "Well, this man is here to help her, and it's almost the same to help her!" Carrying such a basket full of herbs at one time can not make the uncle suspicious.
She had planned so well: she brought a medicine the next day, and it was a common variety that could be found at the foot of the mountain, and it didn't matter if there were more of them, the grass would grow fast this season.
But now I can't hide it, not only the basket full of many varieties of medicinal materials, but also the toad clothes, cicadas, and snakes in the rattan basket, how can they be seen everywhere? Forget about others, but the uncle was born as a barefoot doctor, and his old eyes are vicious.
Glaring at the culprit, Qingling put down the bowl in her hand, ran to Grandpa Zhang's side upside down, and helped him sit down.
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm very obedient. These herbs were actually picked by him. Don't you come to see your second elder, how can there be any reason to come empty-handed!"
For someone's surprised look, I didn't dare to look back.
"Really?" the old doctor turned to look at Gang, "You just came back and went up the mountain?"
Xiang Gang couldn't cry or laugh, this girl would really take care of him.
However, on the latter question, it is easy to explain: "I came up from the back mountain, and met Xiaofang on the way, and when I saw that it was not early, I went down the mountain together, and I was afraid that it would not be safe when it was late." ”
It makes sense.
Zhang Youkang nodded, "But the back mountain has also been said to be infested with wolves in the past few years, so let's take the village road in the future, and it won't save much time." Last year, during the slack season, the brigade organized members to level the village road, and the mud was not as bad as before on rainy days. ”
Xiang Gang nodded, and caught a glimpse of the girl's eyes dodging left and right, for fear that he would chase after him, as if he was chasing and asking, he was amused, and changed the topic: "How has the uncle been in health in the past few years? I heard Xiaofang say that you are going to the county today?
Not only are there no supply and marketing cooperatives, but there is no consignment point. The old doctor beckoned Xiang Gang to try the cold ice grass, and praised Qingling, saying that she made it up, and eating this in the summer is both refreshing and reduces the fire, why didn't anyone find out that this was also a wild vegetable before......
Straight to Qingling's praise that her face was about to be buried on the ground, and then she happily talked about the consignment point, "I said I wanted to set it up four years ago, but then I don't know how to drop, and there is no follow-up." It wasn't until a while ago that I heard the book mention it again, saying that by the end of this year at the latest, the consignment point must be opened. It's going to be convenient. I don't have to go in and out of the ferry......
Qingling was secretly relieved to see that the topic had finally been successfully diverted.
I was depressed in my heart.
Obviously, such a basket of herbs is picked by her, including the rare cicada molt, snake molt, and toad clothes, there are no other channels, and there is no other channel, this is not the non-staple food purchase station under the supply and marketing cooperative, give some to Grandpa Zhang, and take the rest to the purchase station, how much can you exchange for some money and tickets.
He wanted to be stirred up by this guy, and the credit was all his, and he worked hard all day in vain. It's all for him to make a wedding dress.
The little man in his heart beat his chest. If there is an embroidery needle, I really want to tie it with his birthday.
"Girl, what are you doing stupidly! Come and help serve the food, start the meal! Aren't you hungry for braised pork for a long time? ”
Grandma Zhang proudly stewed a pound of raw meat.
Originally, the girl let the half catty of the girl keep for her to marinate the salted meat, and the old couple bought half a catty of stewed braised pork by themselves.
After all, at this time of year, fresh meat can't be put away. Make it into salted meat, and if you want to eat it, cut a few slices and steam it in a rice pot, and you can eat it for half a month.
It's just that I didn't expect Xiang Gang to come back, and he came to visit the second elder with a basket full of herbs.
