Chapter 292: Honest Aunt
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chen directly drove his little sister home to take a bath, while he walked towards the vegetable field, preparing to choose some vegetables and go back to make dinner.
Today is Wednesday, and it is impossible for Li Chen to let his little sister directly ask for a week off, or his mother will not allow it.
So there is the current scene, and she will be sent to school at four o'clock to start classes.
The vegetable patch is a small terraced plot that is connected together, and this piece is basically growing vegetables.
The previous ancestors didn't know how to divide it, and each person only got a small piece of land here, and it was not included in the rental area when Li Chen rented the land.
First, you have to keep some vegetables to grow, you have land and you have to spend money to buy those fertilizer + insect medicine ripening vegetables outside, that's what you should cry about.
In addition, this place is only a little sideways, not big, and there are small plots of land high and low, and it is difficult to maintain and take care of roses.
When I came, I met the aunt Cheng Xiuying who came to water the vegetables, and now she is a grandmother, and Li Manfeng had a daughter more than two months ago, named Li Tangying.
Fortunately, there is no habit of making full moon wine here.
"Yo, it's Xiao Chen, are you here to pick vegetables?" Cheng Xiuying straightened up and beckoned.
Li Chen has long been accustomed to such an opening topic, and he knows what you are here for, but he will ask you one more question, and only after getting a response will other topics begin.
He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I'm going to pick vegetables and go back to make dinner." ”
"It's so early, and the sun is still high. Cheng Xiuying was surprised, and then suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot that your sister is still at home, did she go to school today?"
"Yes, I'll send her today, I can't take a week off, my mother won't come back with the whip herself!"
Hearing Li Chen say this, Cheng Xiuying nodded with a smile, and agreed with this, if it was her family, she would not allow it.
"Eh, I heard that your mom participated in that competition, is it true?"
"Yes, I ran the half marathon the day before yesterday. After finishing speaking, Li Chen added an explanation: "It's a road that runs twenty-one kilometers away." ”
"Since it's a race, you can get money if you win the run, right?
Li Chen's face was full of black lines, but he could also understand that this side was generally poorer in the past, and it was not surprising that he could get money.
After entering the vegetable field that belonged to him, he explained helplessly: "If you are in the top three, you will get money, and there are thousands of dollars." ”
Hearing Li Chen say that the top three could get a few thousand yuan, Cheng Xiuying hurriedly asked, "Oh, do your parents get it?"
According to what she thought, a few thousand yuan can cover a month's salary of his man, so it's just a competition, is the money so easy to earn?
"It's not that easy, even if there are 3,000 people in the half marathon, it's not so easy to get the top three. Li Chen shook his head amusedly, and then said, "And you have to pay more than two hundred yuan to sign up." ”
After Li Chen finished speaking, Cheng Xiuying exploded, and her voice became much louder, "What? You still have to pay money? Isn't this a cheat!"
"No, aunt, this is a spiritual inheritance competition, and it is an international ......" Speaking of this, Li Chen paused, and probably didn't understand some professional terms, so he changed his words: "It's held by many countries together, and people are not short of money." ”
"When you get to the competition, you can get a commemorative uniform, and after the competition, whether you get the top three or not, you will get a medal, although it is not very valuable, but it has commemorative value. ”
"Moreover, for a competition, it takes a lot of people to maintain order, and there are all kinds of services and so on, and the money for these registrations is not enough at all, and the organizers still pay for it. ”
"You said that it's not worth that money, it's not a loss, and you have to travel so far, it's a big loss. Cheng Xiuying said.
Li Chen almost didn't support his forehead, aunt, if you can go to half a country to participate in the competition, you won't care about the registration fee of more than two hundred yuan at all!
Besides, it's not about the money, it's about participating, bragging about getting the finisher...... Commemorative use.
But it was impossible to say this, so he opened the topic and said, "Auntie, do you want to pick some vegetables and go back to eat, these vegetables of mine are more tender." ”
"Yes, hehe, your food is delicious. After speaking, you muttered: "It's really weird, it's just separated by a slope, why is there such a big difference, and the seeds are still bought by me." ”
That being said, there is no doubt about it. If anyone with ideas knows about this, they will definitely want to explore the secrets.
Li Chen, who was choosing four seasons vegetables, heard this, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat these four seasons vegetables, you can pick them, this grows fast, and if you can't eat them, you can just take them back to feed the chickens when you get old." ”
"Eh, that's great, since your mother went out, I haven't eaten such a delicious dish, and your uncle said that your aunt and my cooking skills have regressed!" Cheng Xiuying's face was full of surprise.
She is also an upright person, Mother Li didn't say anything, she just didn't pick these vegetables when she saw them getting old.
You must know that the vegetables that absorb the spiritual water grow very fast, it can be said that picking a stubble grows a stubble, as long as you choose the time to scatter the selection, you will not know that it has been picked.
"But speaking of your mother, you're still on that ...... trip, right?"
Li Chen nodded and said, "That's right, it's to play in various cities, also called traveling." ”
Cheng Xiuying said with some sighs: "I'm really envious, like your aunt, I just can't let go of the cats and dogs at home, and I don't know where to go if I want to go out." ”
"Auntie, you can go if you want to, you can follow my parents. As for the family, isn't there still Brother Manfeng and sister-in-law. ”
"No, no, your aunt and me, I can only stay in the village and work hard, and I don't look at this place for a day, and I think about it tightly. ”
It is understandable that Li Chen has taken care of things for half his life, and he will more or less have feelings for this land, and he can't give it up, and he won't be down-to-earth if he leaves.
Didn't my parents use to put the words "hard work" in their mouths all day long, but now they are not happily playing outside?
I didn't talk about the land at home during the video, but at most I asked how the three dogs were doing.
Li Chen felt that this was the reason for the poor economic conditions in the past, and only real land could bring them a sense of security, and they were too dependent on land to be constrained.
When the conditions go up in the future, the dependence on land will be reduced, and it is estimated that I will not be too lazy to take care of the vegetable fields, right?
It seems that some regulations must be introduced in the future, such as how many days of compulsory work must be done each month, otherwise the whole person will be abolished after he is lazy.
After saying goodbye to his aunt, Li Chen went home with the picked vegetables......
