Chapter 92: A Little Wish (I)
You can never find that kind of silence in the middle of the night in the city compared to the countryside, and it is as if the human world is slowly falling asleep. The joy of the cantharids and the clatter of the leaves are always the constant accompaniment here, like the pulse of the rural world, like the breath of the rural world, or the dream of the village sleep.
There is no need for an alarm clock in the countryside at dawn, and just after five o'clock in the morning, there is the sound of roosters crowing everywhere, and occasionally the roar of tractors can be heard, and "da-da-......" drive out of the village.
Chen Shu also got up at six o'clock, walked around the courtyard after washing, took a deep breath, and the moist air carried a hint of coolness, as if he had directly moistened all his lung lobes, and this kind of life did feel very comfortable. No wonder those rich people would say that, it seems that they are indeed a little envious of this kind of life.
Unfortunately, not everyone in China is in the mood to enjoy this kind of life, and most of them are still running between houses, children, and construction sites in the city and the land where they were born and raised.
When it was almost seven o'clock, my mother came over to greet Chen Shu and them for dinner, Wang Zilan was sitting at the door, and Xiaofei was around Chen Shu next to the small vegetable garden and asked this and that.
This year, the building has just been built, and in addition to planting vegetables in the courtyard, a hut was built next to the west wall, and then the middle was divided into three parts by a wall. The most side has a roller shutter door on the fence wall as a garage, and the car can be driven directly into the garage from the outside, and the middle is made into a bathroom and a shower, and the northernmost small room is used as a utility room, in which you can put some unused things in.
Accustomed to living in buildings in the city, Wang Zilan also feels very comfortable to have such a small courtyard, but I don't know what to plant in the courtyard in the future.
"Chen Shu, what do you grow in other people's yards?
"The most on our side are pomegranate trees, grapevines and persimmon trees, and there are also walnuts. Grape mom they have already chosen, from someone else's house to ask for two, now it is not small, it is estimated that next spring planting back to grow grapes. Pomegranate trees are better to plant, if you like us, we will get them after eating in a while, and the pomegranates will grow in three years at most. ”
"Can you plant a pomegranate tree now?"
"You haven't done it, it's very easy to live, let's get it after breakfast in a while. After a while, when I had breakfast, I told my mother and them about our marriage arrangements to see if there was anything to add. Then there is how many people in the family go to the banquet, so that the wine table can be counted. Chen Shu said with a smile.
"Feifei, let's play again in a while, go wash your face, grandma has finished the meal, let's go eat!"
"I'll wash Xiaofei's face, and we'll go over in a while!" Wang Zilan got up and pulled Xiaofei to wash her face, Chen Shu said hello to her mother, asked who had pomegranate trees, and planned to plant a few in the yard for a while.
During the meal, Xiaofei looked at her grandparents for a while, Chen Shu and her mother for a while, coupled with the nature of a child, she was not at ease for a while, but she still ate a lot. Chen Shu explained the situation while eating, but told the family that the wedding car used was about nine cars.
Listening to Chen Shu's arrangement, the family also has an approximate number in their hearts, at least there is no need to worry about using a car, even if it is not enough, they will not be able to find many cars, not to mention that their relatives now buy more cars, so they don't have to worry about finding a car.
"Mom, we're going to go back in the afternoon, and we have something to do in Baoding!" Chen Shu said.
"Oh, then let's pinch dumplings and eat them at noon, and we won't stay two more days when we come back!"
"There's no time, the company will be stable in two years, and I'll come back with Zilan to accompany you every day!heyhehehe!" But when making dumplings at noon, taking advantage of the absence of others, Chen Shu secretly told his mother that Zilan was pregnant, but it was still early to give birth, which really made the old lady happy.
I have long envied other people's children and grandchildren, and I will soon have a grandson and a granddaughter (Xiaofei) now, but I didn't expect that the second daughter-in-law who was about to pass through the door also came, which was a big surprise.
When I came out of the house, I bought a lot of supplements for the elderly in the store and drove to my grandmother's house. When I was young, I didn't come to my grandmother's house Huo Huo, but now I rarely see two old people when I go to work, so Chen Shu specially brought Wang Zilan over to take a look, and secretly gave my grandfather 500 yuan.
"Hey, your grandma turned my money out, fortunately I didn't put a piece, she only found three hundred! hey, hey, hey!" Chen Shu thought of his grandfather's smile and felt funny, he was so happy when he was old, what was there to be dissatisfied.
"Chen Shu, what's the matter with us going to Baoding? I don't remember you saying something!" After the car got on the highway, Wang Zilan suddenly remembered that Chen Shu said to go to Baoding, but she really didn't remember what Chen Shu said.
"Our grandfather is old, no one dares to say how many years he can live, the old comrades-in-arms who fought together in Japan, there are few alive, and several of them are from Baiyangdian. It just so happened that we went to Baiyangdian for a day, and by the way, we looked for any comrades who were alive. ”
"If not, forget it, if there are still alive, let's buy something to see, and then drive our grandfather over that day, it is estimated that this will be the only time in this life." When our grandfather came back from the Shijiazhuang Dry Rest House during the Chinese New Year last year, he said that he had only met one comrade-in-arms, and he shed tears when he said it, and they were all over 80 years old who could live until now. ”
I remember that when I was eight years old, there were two old comrades-in-arms from Baiyangdian who lived in our house, and they had a bad life at that time, so they earned some income by selling reed curtains. After speaking, Chen Shu flipped out the photo of his grandfather.
"Our grandfather has five brothers, the third grandfather is the most aggrieved one, our grandfather joined the army to catch up with the last few years of the Anti-Japanese War, which belongs to foreign wars, and the pension is relatively high. Our third grandfather joined the army and began to fight with the Kuomintang, and ******** participated in Liaoshen and Huaihai, and did not select their troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and then retired. ”
"There are several second-class and third-class merits, and I don't know how many times I have been slightly injured, and there are scars all over my body when I am bareback in the summer, but the pension is more than 200 lower than our grandfather every month. I can't find anything to the troops, I was seriously ill once last year, and the medical expenses cost nearly 40,000 yuan, and my uncle couldn't afford it so he went to the old army!"
"It turns out that our third master has never been allowed to go, and he has spent all his pension on this! Our uncle was really helpless, so he secretly went to find his old army. Some of the old leaders of the third master are still alive, so that the local government will take special care of them, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents when they are too old, and they can't let these veterans who exchange their lives for the future of our country chill. When Chen Shu said, he seemed to be a little heavy.
"I can understand that my father is also a veteran! The family is living a good life, as if he has not received a military allowance once until now. By the way, shall we just look for it empty-handed? How to find it? Have you thought about it? Wang Zilan suddenly felt that this thing could be done, but the entire Baiyangdian Lake was so big, how could she find it?
Although Chen Shu has never done this kind of thing, he is still very experienced, after all, he grew up in the countryside and encountered many things, so he naturally knew what to do.
I haven't asked for a ticket for a while! Do you have a recommendation? Do you have a commuter pass? Would you like to give a few?
Ask for a ticket!
