At noon, the two brothers returned home with a large bag, and the father had returned home at some point, and was busy in the kitchen, Xia Qirong accompanied several female dependents to play mahjong in the hall.

Someone came to the house, and several relatives and friends who were not close to each other made an appointment to come to the house as guests to celebrate Wang Haoran's ability to go to Shangxian No. 1 Middle School.

There are no close relatives, my mother's relatives are far away in Rongcheng, although my mother went back to visit my grandmother and grandfather during the Spring Festival two years ago, but I may not be able to remember my nephew's high school entrance examination this year, and my father's brothers and sisters followed my grandfather to Guangdong Province a few years ago, and there is no news.

The two friends who got along well with my father, one of whom was my father's hair and neighbor Li Dazhu, and the other was Cao Yongquan from the next village, did not usually visit the door, but both brought a box of fruits, and happened to get together with relatives on the same day.

Relatives are also two families, Wang Guoqin's cousin Wang Guohai's family and cousin Wang Guozhao's family.

Relatives always move around more and more closely, otherwise there will be no family affection after a long time, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but since his own brothers and sisters left with their parents a few years ago, Wang Guoqin and these two cousins have been moving around more frequently in recent years, and they must have to run for the New Year's holidays.

"Ran Ran and Xiaojie went to town and came back, come and call Auntie. ”

Before the brothers entered the door with something in their hands, Xia Qirong, who was playing mahjong on the table, hurriedly greeted the brothers when they saw them.

The two aunts also come to the house during the New Year's holidays, and although they can't see each other twice a year, they don't know each other, and they both open their mouths.

"Hello Auntie. ”

"Second aunt is good. ”

The aunt is Li Li, the wife of Wang Guozhao, and Zhang Wanwan, the wife of Wang Guohai in the second trial, Wang Guozhao and Wang Guohai are two brothers, and their home is in the next town, which is not far away.

"Okay, Ran Ran is handsome again. ”

"Ran Ran is angry now, and he has gone to the county No. 1 middle school, it depends on whether your mother still wants a daughter!"

"That is, how can a daughter be better than a son. ”

The two aunts said hello back and joked about their own mother, and the mahjong in their hands was not idle.

Speaking of which, this matter is also a stalk, Xia Qirong has always wanted to have a daughter, probably because she thinks that her daughter is more intimate than her son, when she was pregnant with her younger brother, she hoped that she was a daughter, but unfortunately she was born with a handle, and this second child is still a son, and she is fed up with the hardships of avoiding family planning, so she has extinguished the idea of having a daughter.

"Mom, let's go back to the room and put our things away, and then go to the kitchen to help. ”

"Sister Rong, look at how sensible these two dolls are. ”

"You don't know, the child is skinned!"

Wang Haoran and the two entered the room, put down all the things they bought, and went to the kitchen.

"Hello Uncle Lobby. ”

"Second uncle, hello. ”

"Uncle Zhuzi is good. ”

Regardless of the psychological age, children are basically polite, although it is a little awkward to call uncle to three people who are about the same age as themselves, but Wang Haoran still spoke out very indifferently.

"Okay, it's really good, this time I've given your dad a long face. ”

"Ranran, my family Mengmeng grew up with you, why is the gap so big, I didn't even get into high school this time, hey, the female baby is not as good as the male baby!"

Li Dazhu has only one daughter, Li Mengmeng, who is the same age as Wang Haoran, and her usual grades are so-so, and this high school entrance examination is not an accident and she did not take the exam, just like in her previous life.

Looking at Wang Haoran's eyes at this moment, he can't wait to take it for himself, if he robs it, he may really want to rob Wang Haoran as his son, Li Dazhu doesn't want a son, at this time, the concept of patriarchy in rural areas is still very common, but I don't know what the problem is, Li Dazhu's wife has never been able to conceive since she gave birth to her daughter Li Mengmeng, where is there something wrong with her body, and the medical conditions in the countryside are also poor, and she is reluctant to go to the big city to spend money on examination, and finally she accepted her fate.

For Li Mengmeng, Wang Haoran doesn't have many memories, and he hasn't seen him for more than ten years in his previous life, and Wang Haoran, who is busy and has no temper polished by life, has long forgotten many people and things in his childhood memories, and is now reborn to the present summer vacation busy reviewing, busy thinking about the future life, although he has never seen Li Mengmeng in the same village.

Wang Guozhao is seven years older than Wang Guoqin, a son and a daughter in the family, the daughter is in the third year of junior high school, and the eldest son went to the army before he was admitted to college two years ago, and he will be discharged from the army after almost a year's work.

Wang Guohai is one year younger than Wang Guoqin, the two brothers are eight years apart, there are two daughters at home, the eldest daughter also took the high school entrance examination this year, and took the high school exam in the town next door, and the younger daughter is still in the first year of junior high school.

However, Wang Guozhao and the two brothers did not bring their children to visit relatives, not that they didn't want to come, the road is a little far, and it is still very tiring to walk, and there is no car from the town to the village, Wang Guozhao has a tractor at home, but it is not as convenient as driving from his town to the countryside of Dong'an Town directly by car to the town and walking to the countryside.

greeted the elders and answered some words from the elders, Wang Haoran helped his father to wash the vegetables, and his younger brother was helping to light the fire.

A few adults didn't care about the two children, Wang Guozhao and Wang Guohai brothers had been in the village for a few years when they were young, so they and Li Dazhu knew each other, talking to each other, one would be this year's crops, and the other would be some bad things about stealing chickens and dogs when they were children, but they were also full of interest.

"Ranran, you go and talk to your mother, let them stop after this round and get ready to eat!"

"Good. ”

Wang Haoran first fetched a basin of water, put a towel, and brought it to the hall.

"Mom, the meal is ready, Dad asked you to stop the meal after this round. ”

"I brought water to my aunts and prepared to eat. ”

"Thank you, Ranran. ”

"Really sensible, don't worry about it!"

"Huh. “

The noon dish is sumptuous compared to the banquet of relatives and friends in the countryside, there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, and Wang Guoqin also specially steamed an old turtle.

At the dinner table, several men were drinking wine and bragging, women were chatting, and the two aunts also put a piece of food in Wang Haoran's bowl from time to time.

Compared with everyone's elation in eating, Wang Haoran is a little uneasy, in fact, people in their thirties are very unaccustomed to others treating themselves as children, especially Wang Haoran is very unaccustomed to others picking vegetables for him except for his parents.

I didn't like it since I was a child, so Wang Haoran rarely went to relatives, and the task of celebrating the New Year was generally given to my father and younger brother. Wang Haoran, the hostess at home, also rarely goes to the table, and there is no way to do it today, just to congratulate Wang Haoran on his success in the high school entrance examination, and it is not good to not show up at the table.

The topic of adults has long been forked from themselves,Wang Haoran went to the kitchen with a rice bowl,Wang Haojie is probably almost finished,Seeing my brother get off the table,Hurriedly followed with a bowl。

It was just in time, but I wanted to throw it away but felt that it was too wasteful.

"Come on, Xiaojie, I'll give you all the dishes in my bowl. ”

"I guessed it, brother, you're really... ”

What does my brother want to say?It's almost hypocritical,It's just that this word is not common at this time,Wang Haojie's poor language knowledge has obviously been exposed to this word。

Is it hypocritical? It's a little bit bit, no matter what, just go with it.

I put a little turtle soup from the pot, and after finishing lunch in two bites, I took my younger brother back to the room.

Wang Haojie walked to the TV,Seven or eight stations in a row,From beginning to end, none of the stations are playing cartoons,I can't find what I like to watch,Turn your head to look at my brother lying on the bed。

"Brother, I'm going to find Erdan to play marbles, are you going out to play?"

"No, go yourself. ”

"Okay. ”

It's said that every day of this summer vacation is very fulfilling,Most of the time I gave the pile of textbooks on the table,Wang Haojie hasn't played marbles a few times,There was a little resistance at first,But last time my brother thought he was reviewing well,I took myself to the town and bought an electronic watch as a reward,Plus the four-digit pocket money,The more you learn, the happier you get。

The routine of periodic rewards to encourage learning was used by Wang Haoran on his younger brother, the electronic watch was going to be bought by himself, it was too inconvenient not to have it, in this era when most people in the city did not have mobile phones, it was really difficult to go out and know the time.

At this time, Lokia and Motorola should have entered China, but the high price should discourage many people.

Anyway, now I come to Lokia's door and say that you will almost go out of business in a few years, will you be scolded for being insane.

Jobs should be regarded as the indirect murderer who killed Lokia, of course, Lokia's own complacency is the biggest reason for the failure.

Wang Haoran was still thinking nonsense, and his father Wang Guoqin pushed the door in with the smell of wine.

"Ranran, are you asleep?"

"No, close your eyes and rest, are your parents and relatives gone?"

"Well, you have to go, I just sent out of the village"

"Oh"

"Haven't you eaten enough at noon, there are still some meals in the kitchen, do you want your mother to get you some?"

"No, I'm full"

Wang Guoqin knows his son's bad habits, and he has watched him grow up since he was a child, and it goes without saying what his eldest son likes and dislikes. This son is a bit like his mother, he loves cleanliness and doesn't eat the dishes that others put in the bowl, so Wang Guoqin never gave vegetables to Wang Haoran at the dinner table since he knew it, but his wife often gave him vegetables, looking at the closeness of the mother and son, they would not dislike each other.

His wife once laughed and said that when she was a child, she chewed it and fed it to her son's mouth, and she wanted to dislike her mother for starving to death. Wang Haoran could only smile dumbly.

"Dad, it's going well in Jinling, right? It shouldn't be long before it happens."

"It's okay for now, but it won't be long yet"

I didn't ask my son how to guess it, this son was smarter than ever during the summer vacation, when he went to the Jinling Hotel two days ago, Zhang Haorong said hello to Wang Guoqin, and Zhang Haorong resigned in another month.

As soon as Zhang Haorong let go, this business is not impossible to do, but in the past two months, it has become more and more difficult to collect, at the beginning of a hundred a day is not a rare thing, gradually down, these days even if you run to the next town to collect, there are only thirty or forty a day, there are reasons for the lack of turtles, and there are reasons for others to collect again.

Speaking of which, there is no technical content in this matter, it is to make a difference between the countryside and the city, and no one may know that there is such a high profit at first, but the Wang family has collected it for two consecutive months, not only in the village, but even in the town, some people have figured out the taste.

Gradually, the price of the turtle has risen to 30 yuan a piece, some people have received it and sent it to the hotel in the city, and you can earn 10 yuan by selling a turtle, and there are more people who know, and it is not a technical thing, and there is no concealment, and there are more people who do it.

For these, although Wang Haoran didn't ask, he had already thought of today when he did it, it was not a business that could be operated for a long time, and in the future, it was more important to leave this countryside. There's so little to do here.

"Dad, how about your family buying a house in the county?"

Wang Guoqin obviously didn't think about this problem, moving to the county seat is not such a simple thing as buying a house, the matter of collecting turtles can last for a while, at least until the end of September, it should be no problem, and then the family can take out 100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, a small county town in 99, it is definitely enough to buy a house.

I can afford to buy a house, but what happens after I buy a house? Do you want any land? What does the family live on? I don't even think about moving to the county seat.

Knowing what his father was probably thinking at this time, Wang Haoran opened his mouth

"Dad, that's what I said, and it's not a matter of a while. ”

"Yes, Dad hasn't thought about it yet, but who doesn't want to go out of this countryside!"

"Well, anyway, it's okay to think about it, it's not okay to keep planting these ten acres of land. ”

"That's right, but then you don't have to worry about the hearts of adults, and you still have to focus on reading. ”

"I know, don't worry, Dad. ”

Wang Haoran didn't prepare to let his father make up his mind today, that is, to prevent it first, and the next step should be to do things in the county seat first, otherwise it would be impossible for his father to go to the county seat desperately.
