"Well, sister, I'll go and put my luggage down first. So saying, he walked to the room on the west side of the kitchen, where his mother had already put her luggage and was busy making a fire on the stove. After Ji Kai put his luggage in the room, he took out his mobile phone to look at the time, it was only less than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was really early to eat in the countryside. When I came out and saw that everyone was busy, I didn't know what to do, and I felt isolated for no reason.

Fortunately, at this time, my mother shouted to the two rooms where my cousin and her cousin lived outside the kitchen:

"Guo Sifan, it's time to eat, come over quickly. ”

A six or seven-year-old girl jumped up and down from the house, and immediately shouted after seeing and recognizing Ji Kai:

"Uncle Cousin!"

"Hey, come over for dinner!" Looking at this girl the size of her daughter, Ji Kai thought of her daughter again, and didn't know what she was doing now.

After setting up the dishes and chopsticks and adding rice, Ji Kai didn't drink, so his father poured a glass of wine alone, and the family set up a chair and sat down and began to eat.

"Sister, eldest brother (it should have been called brother-in-law, I don't know why my mother asked me to call it eldest brother)?"

"Two days ago, Guo Sifan went to Shenzhen after school started. My sister explained,

"In the past two years, the farmland in Xiangbatou has basically been contracted out to plant landscape trees or something for the big bosses in other provinces, and the harvester business is not good, your eldest brother sold the harvester, and bought a truck to pull goods for other bosses to run long distances. ”

"The taste of this dish fried today is just right, Kai'er, don't you like ** meat (lean meat), it's all there. Father Ji Delin suddenly said to Ji Kai.

"Okay!" Ji Kai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed a piece of lean meat, feeling a little warm in his heart.

While eating, the parents teased their little niece, causing everyone to laugh.

While eating, my cousin suddenly said:

"You don't have a big conflict with Guo Sifan and her cousin anyway, or you just remarry, and then take them all back. ”

"Their young people's affairs, I'm old, so I won't mix (intervene), whatever they want. Then my father suddenly picked up the topic and said nothing.

Ji Kai knew that this was his father's easing of his heart, which meant that it was okay to remarry, and he had no opinion. But after Ji Kai thought about it, he felt that he didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say anything and continued to eat.

After the meal, my sister and mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and washed the kitchen utensils, the little niece ran to watch cartoons, Ji Kai took out two packs of "soft clouds" from the luggage and handed them to his father, and took out some of the Gangcheng specialties brought back to distribute to everyone, and then lit a cigarette for his father, and the two sat down to smoke and drink tea in the hall.

"How is Yiyi doing now, has school started?" asked his father.

"I just sent her to school a few days ago, and when I left, I thought that she had always wanted a phone watch, so I bought her a few hundred yuan from Jingxi, and it will be delivered in two days. Ji Kai didn't know how to answer, so he said casually.

"And what are you going to do when you come back?"

"After I bought the car, I still have 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of money saved, I will take 10,000 yuan for you to use first, and the rest is ready to see if there is any shop that can be transferred, and I will take over and make it myself." Ji Kai took out a stack of money that he had prepared earlier and handed it to his father.

"Well, then I'll save it for you, and tell me if you want to use it. You have to look at it and then make a decision, the salary in Rongcheng is not very high, if you really can't do it, you can find a job first, and then get it when you see a suitable one. Father took the money and said.

After a casual chat with my father, my mother looked at the car outside after she came out of her busy life, her face full of joy.

"I heard them say that the Sixth Brigade has built a tourist loop over there, and there is a bridge that is so lively at night, let's go shopping. Mother said to Ji Kai.

"Sanxian means to call you to drive her to go shopping. The cousin walked up to Ji Kai and said with a smile, Ji Kai's mother is the third oldest among the siblings, the eldest died not long after he was born, the second is the cousin's mother, and there are two uncles below.

"Let's go. Ji Kai understands that many families in the village have bought cars in recent years, because the family is poor and can't drive, and his mother is very envious of other families driving around to play. Although my sister and brother-in-law still have a car, she has also sat in it many times, but when her son has a car, she sits on it, and it definitely feels different, as long as they are happy, Ji Kai is happy to follow the arrangement.

The father didn't want to go because he didn't want to go because he didn't want to go, but before he left, he suddenly changed his mind and agreed to go with him, and he was happy to get in his son's car, no matter where he went.

In this way, the family went out for a walk, did not buy anything, and when they returned, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and after resting, they washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep. Lying on the bed, Ji Kai thought about the road ahead, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, I don't know how long it took before he fell asleep.

The next day, he got together with his partners in the same village and his classmates when he was a student to drink and chat, and Ji Kai heard from everyone's words that business was not doing well, that is, the more famous companies in the neighborhood were now in a recession. In this case, those classmates and friends who did not continue to go to school in middle school were basically developed, either making tens of millions of dollars a year as a big boss in Shenzhen, or being a company director, managing several regions under his hands;

Ji Kai worked for ten years, and after the divorce, all the property returned to his ex-wife and daughter, and he left the house by himself, and then he didn't save any money, and the only deposit was the returned housing provident fund, and now there are only 20,000 or 30,000 left. I can't do anything with this money, although Ji Kai didn't regret his resignation, he still felt at a loss in his heart.

In the next few days, Ji Kaijian saw that his mother was still using an old washing machine, and after washing clothes, she needed to take them out to wash and then dry them, how cold it would be in winter.

The winter here in Shuzhou is wet and cold, cold to the bones, and there is no heating, and my mother is old and can no longer survive like before. Together with my cousin, I quietly went to Ningsuyi in Shuzhou City to buy a fully automatic washing machine, and let my parents know when the delivery arrived. Although my mother complained that Ji Kai didn't need to buy another washing machine, it could be seen that my mother was still very happy when she washed her clothes, and when the clothes were a little dirty, she would change them and wash them with the new ones.

Nowadays, there are basically no wells in the countryside, and every household uses a water tower, which is pumped to the water tower and then piped to the kitchen. It's just that the water pumped out of the ground in Shuxi over the years will be yellow and mixed with fine sand, and after installing a wall-mounted water purifier, the amount of water will become smaller after a long time, and even if the filter is cleaned, the water volume still cannot be changed.

When my mother saw a water purifier introduced in a TV commercial, she liked it very much, because she could replace and clean the filter by herself, and the water output was much larger, and the price was more than 1000.

After Ji Kai knew, he searched for water purifier information on his mobile phone, so that his mother could identify what kind of water purifier it was, and after learning the specific type, he chose a well-known domestic brand water purifier with a price of less than 400 yuan, and purchased it through the Internet, only waiting for the goods to be installed by himself.
