043 Stunned (including Mid-Autumn Festival plus more)
Lin Lingling called He Tingting and He Xuanlian into the house, and then took the snakeskin bag and asked, "What's in this snakeskin bag? Why don't you put the apples in it?"
As soon as He Tingting wanted to speak, he was pulled by He Xuanlian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She looked at He Xuanlian, saw He Xuanlian wink at her, and then looked at Lin Lingling with a smile, "Mom, let's go into the house and talk." β
He Tingting didn't say anything, and shouted into the house, "Milk-are you back?"
Grandma He came out of the house with a smile on her face, "Grandma is back and has brought you a beautiful little dress." Come and see ......"
"Grandma is so good......" He Tingting happily walked towards Grandma He, "I brought cherries back, grandma eats more." β
He Xuanlian, who was going to secretly say that he had brought cherries back, heard He Tingting's words, and couldn't help but have a black line, and his feelings were reminded in vain just now.
He Tingting didn't notice He Xuanlian's resentful gaze, and still talked to Grandma He, saying how delicious the cherries were.
At this time, He Xuanbai came out of the house and gently pulled He Tingting's two small braids, "Can the eldest brother eat more?"
He Tingting stretched out his hand to push away He Xuanbai's big hand that was pulling his braids, and nodded hard at the same time, "Of course you can, we can all eat as much as you want!"
Lin Lingling entered the house with a snakeskin bag and apples at this time, and asked in surprise, "Is there a cherry in the snakeskin bag?" I have never eaten cherries, but I have heard of it. That's a lot of weight......" she said, and flipped the snakeskin bag again.
"Cherry?" He Xuanqing also came out of the house, "I've only heard about it in books, and I haven't eaten it." β
He Tingting felt that he had taken the cherries out and got them right, and looked at Grandma He excitedly, "Milk, let's eat the cherries first and then look at the little skirt." β
"Okay, good ......" Grandma He happily led He Tingting into the house and sat down, and while looking at He Tingting's face, she asked where she went today, whether she was wronged, tired or not, and so on.
He Tingting replied obediently, not impatient at all. In the days when she was in a vegetative state, she couldn't answer those words.
Here Lin Lingling was about to take the cherries out to wash, but her eyes swept to He Xuanlian's hand still covering the trouser pocket on the left side of her pants, and she couldn't help asking, "Third child, what's in your trouser pocket? Why do you keep pressing it? I haven't opened it since I entered the door." β
He Xuanlian hurriedly took out a stack of tickets in his trouser pocket, "We sold some cherries to an uncle with a pen in his pocket, and my uncle gave it to us." That's more than nine dollars. β
After saying that, his little face was a little guilty and apprehensive, when the little second brother came back from the car just now, he was so happy that he forgot that he had money in his pocket, and he didn't know if he had lost some. I didn't say it immediately when I entered the door just now, but I also wanted to plan to sneak a look at it first and then tell Lin Lingling.
"More than nine yuan?" Grandma He, Lin Lingling, He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing were all shocked.
Now I work in the factory for a day, and it's just a little more! These nine dollars are more, and I have to work for several days.
He Xuanlian nodded and handed the money to Lin Lingling, "Well, Mom, count to see if it's wrong." β
Lin Lingling was shocked to take the thick stack of tickets in He Xuanlian's hand, and she was shocked. Now the maximum denomination of money is ten yuan, and He Xuanlian actually took more than nine yuan and almost ten yuan back at once!
When He Tingting saw it, he remembered the green bill that Susan gave him, and hurriedly turned it out of his pocket, "I gave the cherry to Susan, and Susan insisted on giving it to me." β
Grandma He, He Tingting, He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing, who had just been surprised, saw the green ticket in He Tingting's hand, and they were so surprised again that their eyes almost popped out.
"This, this is foreign money, looking at this number, it should be ten yuan. He Xuanqing took the green ticket and looked at it over and over again. I can't read anything else, but the Arabic numeral 10 on it still knows.
He Xuanbai, who has always been an old man, couldn't help but lean over and carefully look at the green ticket, it was the first time they had seen such money.
Lin Lingling asked in surprise, "Ten yuan from a foreign country, how much is that, can we use it here?"
"I don't know the specifics, wait for Dad to come back and ask Dad if he knows. He Xuanqing handed the green ticket to He Xuanbai and said.
Lin Lingling nodded, and began to look down and count the stack of loose money in her hand. She didn't understand foreign money, so she didn't take it to heart, and paid more attention to the money she was used to.
Grandma He asked He Tingting, "You gave cherries to Susan, why did you still collect Susan's money? Didn't grandma teach her? This is rude." β
"Susan insisted on giving it to me, and I gave it to her several times, but she didn't want it. He Tingting said.
"Is that Susan a foreigner?Did you talk to her?Can you communicate?" He Xuanqing asked curiously.
They don't teach English in schools, so people don't speak English at all. Or because of the proximity to the Xiangjiang River, the smuggling of the past will return to the port from time to time to meet and drag a few words, and the foreigners who come in also say that everyone knows a word or two.
As for the need to understand the country and denomination on the banknote, it is powerless.
He Tingting shook his head, "I don't understand, but I understand her name, and she also knows my name." After saying that, he took out his picture from his pocket, "This is the picture Susan took for me." β
Grandma He, Lin Lingling, He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing all leaned over to look, and when they saw that the photo was in color, they couldn't help but exclaim.
It's so poor that you have to take pictures at the only photo studio in town. People in the village hardly take pictures, and their families basically don't take pictures when they are fine, and only take family photos on New Year's Day.
It is also difficult to color this family photo, because taking color photos requires manual coloring, which is more labor-intensive and requires additional money. After so many years, the family only has two color photos.
Now, He Tingting actually has a small separate color photo!
On the small card, He Tingting's eyes narrowed with a big smile, and his chin was pointed, very beautiful and cute.
Grandma He took the photo and looked directly, "We look very good." β
He Xuan hurriedly took out the photo that Susan helped him take with He Tingting, "I also have a photo here, which Susan helped us take." Her camera is amazing, and she spit out a card as soon as she finished shooting, and slowly, Tingting and I appeared on the card. β
"It's so amazing? Could it be that a foreigner made the demon law?" Lin Lingling was so surprised that she forgot to count the money.
"It's not a demon law, it's just taking pictures. He Xuanlian said, and told the magic of the camera one by one.
Everyone listened to it with a yearning face, and when they heard that in addition to this camera, there was a big guy hanging around their necks, and they were even more yearning.
"We will have it in the future, so let's collect the money now and eat cherries. Grandma He said.
Lin Lingling nodded, and quickly counted the loose money in her hand, a total of 9 yuan and 2 cents.
He Xuanlian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this amount, and finally did not lose money.
"Let's eat the cherries first. Lin Lingling took the money back and put it away, and after she came out, she took the snakeskin bag and took the cherries outside.
She came out with a handful of cherries first, and as soon as the cherries appeared, everyone was amazed.
I saw that the small red fruit was like a ruby, ruddy and bright, very attractive.
"This cherry is good, it looks like it has just been plucked from a tree. "Although Grandma He had eaten them before, she was a little surprised to see these cherries at this time, these were much better than what she had eaten before.
"It's so beautiful!" Lin Lingling said fascinatedly, "It's so good-looking, it's a little reluctant to eat, so it should be offered." β
Grandma He glanced at her, "It's just a place to eat, where do you need to provide it." You go wash some to eat, and leave some for Ah Xue and your mother's family, and divide the rest for Xiaojue and them. Your uncle's side, send some over too. By the way, Shen Xiaoer sent Tingting and the third child back, so let's take some over. β
She could tell from the size of the snakeskin bag that there were a lot of cherries, so she opened her mouth to divide a few more.
"Heyβ" Lin Lingling replied happily. She hadn't eaten this cherry, but it was the first time she had seen it, and her mother's family was the same. The old lady herself asked her to take some back to her mother's house, and she was very happy. As for the uncle and second uncle, anyway, she is in charge, and she will share less, so she will not be ashamed.
He Tingting hurriedly grabbed the corner of Grandma He's shirt, "Grandma, it's not a lot, why do you want to give it to the eldest uncle...... They don't give us apples when they have them. β
"Be good, that is, eat, don't be stingy. Girls, be generous, don't be like them. Grandma He touched He Tingting's little head and educated.
He Tingting was puzzled, "Why can they do that to us, I can't do that to them?"
"Do you think they're stingy now? Once you have a reputation, you can't take it off later. Tingting will be a little lady in the future, don't learn from them, and don't be like them. After Grandma He said gently, her face slowly became solemn,
"Of course, that's how the little things go. In big things, there is naturally revenge and revenge, in short, the pattern must be big, and you can't hold on to the small ones. β
He Tingting didn't understand what it meant to be big, so he just nodded, thinking about it secretly.
Lin Lingling quickly washed a plate of cherries and came in, and the red and bright cherries were watered, and they were more attractive.
"Milk, you taste it, it's delicious. He Tingting took a cherry and handed it to Grandma He.
Grandma He smiled from ear to ear, ate cherries with He Tingting's little hands, and nodded incessantly, "It's really delicious, sweet and sour." Very fresh and appetizing. β
Over there, Lin Lingling, He Xuanbai, He Xuanqing and He Xuanlian also took cherries to eat, and they were full of praise while eating.
He Tingting saw that the family was eating with a smile on their faces, his big eyes rolled, pretending to go to get cherries, and secretly put a lot of cherries into the snakeskin bag. There weren't many in the first place, and there were so many people to be divided, so she could only put more.
After eating a few, Lin Lingling stood up and went to get the snakeskin bag. I took it and smiled, "This cherry is really heavy, I took some of it, and when I mentioned it now, I think it is still about the same weight as before." β
He Tingting heard it for a while, and he didn't dare to look at anyone, so he only reached out and stuffed cherries for Grandma He to eat. Because she didn't look at it, the cherry stuffed it into Grandma He's nose, which made Grandma He laugh for a while, held her little hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's stuffed into Grandma's nostrils." β
When He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing saw it, they both laughed.
He Xuanbai looked at He Tingting, whose head was lowered to his chest, and quipped, "Do you want to see the beautiful little dress? β
He Xuanlian quickly finished eating the cherries in his mouth and walked to Lin Lingling's side, "Mom, I think that's the case too." Tingting and I bought a lot of them in the afternoon, thinking there wasn't much left, but I didn't expect there to be so many ......"
He Tingting just wanted to raise his head to deal with He Xuanbai's joke, but as soon as he heard He Xuanlian's words, he immediately lowered his head again.
"It seems that this weight is really enough. Lin Lingling said with a smile, even happier in her heart, and didn't think much about it at all. In her heart, there are many cherries, and the more she can stay and bring back to her parents' home.
Lin Lingling quickly took out all the cherries in the snakeskin bag and put them in a large vegetable basket, and when she saw that most of the basket was filled, she was even more happy, and said with a smile, "I'll send it to everyone." β
After speaking, he took a small basket and put it in almost half of it, and gathered the cherries in the big basket into several portions, covered it with the lotus leaves picked in the afternoon, and took it out.
"Mom, you eat first and then go out......" He Tingting saw that everyone was no longer pursuing the weight of the cherries, so he came back to life, and saw that Lin Lingling was about to go out before he ate a few, and hurriedly shouted.
Lin Lingling waved her hand, "You eat first, Mom will come back soon." β
When He Xuanbai saw it, he stopped eating and wanted to wait for Lin Lingling to come back and eat together.
Lin Lingling came back after a while, with a dark face, "Shen Zhusheng, he is ...... majestic now" Halfway through speaking, she stopped under Grandma He's sharp eyes.
"Eat cherries, and tell your children what they are doing. Grandma He said.
Lin Lingling stopped talking, sat down and smiled and beckoned everyone to eat cherries.
After all, it was the first time to eat it, and everyone ate happily.
However, when they were halfway through the meal, He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing refused to eat it, saying that they would wait for He Xue to come back and eat together.
"I left a small half basket for your dad, and we'll eat together when he comes back. Lin Lingling said with a smile.
But He Xuanbai and He Xuanqing still shook their heads, and He Xuanbai said, "Those who are kept for the next meal, and when Dad comes back in the evening, eat the rest of the plate first." β
So everyone stopped eating and said cherries happily.
After that, Grandma He took He Tingting into the room to see a newly bought small red gauze skirt.
It was a little skirt with a red gauze rim, and the skirt was a little puffy, which was a princess-style little skirt that was very common in later generations - in 1979, such a dress was simply beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" He Tingting couldn't take his eyes off it, and his little hand kept touching his skirt.
"Someone at the port took it to sell, and when my grandmother saw it, she thought it was very suitable for our pavilion, so she quietly bought it back. Grandma He saw that He Tingting couldn't take her eyes off it, and she was immediately happy, it seems that the little granddaughter likes the skirt she picked very much.
"Grandma is so good!" He Tingting threw himself into Grandma He's arms, holding Grandma He and refusing to let go.
Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Grandma He was very good to her.
