Chapter 143: A Visit
The place where Lin Caiwei accompanied Guan Lanfen for a walk was on the ridge dam, where many people would come out for a walk at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are families who come out together, there are also friends who come out to ride bicycles, and there are also those rebellious teenagers and girls who have nowhere to put their adolescent hormones, riding motorcycles and speeding by, accompanied by the angry scolding of passers-by and the triumphant laughter of the teenagers and girls in the car.
But this is not the most eye-catching, the most striking thing is the kite flying high in the sky.
There are eagles, centipedes, swallows, and the kind of long, long kites, like a giant dragon.
The sky is filled with colorful kites, high or low, far or near, flying above people's heads.
At the end of the line, the owner of the kite grasps the line loosely or tightly, and gradually flies high, or the parents accompany the child to teach him to fly a kite.
Lin Caiwei looked at this scene, she couldn't help but start, she remembered that every time she and her friends went out to play on the dam when she was a child, she was extremely envious when she saw those kites, but the family didn't have the money to buy this thing, and more importantly, she didn't think it was worth it, so there was no need to use the little money to buy kites.
But she was so eager at that time that it almost became an obsession, but she never flew a kite, and when she had the ability to buy it whenever she wanted, she was no longer in the mood at that time.
"What, do you want Mom to buy you a thing to play with?", Guan Lanfen asked when she saw that her daughter had been staring at the kite in a daze.
Lin Caiwei shook her head, no.
The person is still the same person, the scene is still the same scene, but the mood is no longer the mood at that time, she refused tastelessly.
Guan Lanfen stretched out her hand and touched the top of her daughter's head, looking at her with gentle eyes.
"Mom, let's go, let's go over there, stop by to see grandma and grandpa for a while~", her mother's smile warmed her, and Lin Caiwei pulled Guan Lanfen to walk another way, far away from the kite.
Near the dam, there are fish ponds on both sides of the road, and Lin Caiwei remembered that Huang Chuling's fish pond was in this area.
The road was dirt, not flat, and not potholes, so she carefully supported her mother.
A little further afield, on the left side of the road is a river, on the left side of the river is a patch of green rice fields, whenever the wind blows, you can see the green wheat waves, smell the faint aroma of rice and the croaking of frogs.
On both sides of the road, you can see many dragonflies flying around, sometimes on the water, sometimes on the rice, and sometimes in the grass and motionless, but if you run up to catch it, you will hardly catch it.
However, Lin Caiwei didn't catch dragonflies when she was a child, using a special tool, which is very simple, a long bamboo pole is tied to a thread, and a net pocket is tied to one end of the line.
In summer, the countryside is simply a children's paradise, catching and selling, catching frogs and selling, catching yellow eels and loaches, and fishing for crayfish to sell or eat by themselves.
Naughty mud babies, sometimes the owner picks a cucumber, the west steals a tomato, you don't need to wash it, you just rub it on your body and put it directly in your mouth to eat, the cucumber you just picked is tender and crispy, Lin Caiwei can eat five or six in one breath at that time.
Thinking of these naughty things, the corners of Lin Caiwei's mouth curled slightly, and she could also go to dig out crabs, it was interesting to think about it.
Naturally, there are also bad points, such as passing by a dung pond now.
In rural areas, in order to make it easier to water the vegetables in the field, farmers and uncles will make a manure pit in front of their fields for easy access.
But in fact, not to mention the stinking sky, it is easy to infect some diseases, Lin Caiwei's face is a little stinky, she remembered that when she was a child learning to ride a bicycle, she fell into the dung pit with her friends in the back seat, although the dung pit was dry, but the taste was sour enough.
It was already half past seven in the evening, but because it was summer, the sky was still bright, and even the sun had not completely set.
With the afterglow, reminiscing about all kinds of sourness, Lin Caiwei and her mother slowly walked to her grandmother's house, but unfortunately there was no one at home, her grandparents went out for a walk, and they happened to miss it.
In the school the next day, as soon as the flag was raised, Yang Xiaopang pulled Huang Chuling to find Lin Caiwei.
"Weiwei, my mother agreed, saying that she was waiting for your mother at home after dinner!", Yang Xiaopang grabbed Lin Caiwei's arm and shook it excitedly.
"Okay, okay, I know, don't shake it, please go to my store at noon on Saturday the day after tomorrow to eat", Lin Caiwei shouted helplessly.
"Wow, wow!", Yang Xiaochubby chicken froze.
"I said that it's not good for us to always go to Weiwei's house to eat and drink for free," Kong Xiaoqian on the side said weakly.
Lin Caiwei smiled and comforted, "It's okay, how much is the amount you eat worth, besides, you often bring me food from home, Sisi's braised chicken feet, Xiaoling's stewed fish, Xiaoqian's honey~"
These words made a few friends relieved and laughed.
Even friends should be courteous, not unequal.
When Lin Caiwei came home, she smelled a sour smell in the house, wrinkled her nose and said, "Mom, this is my grandmother here?"
"Yes, your grandmother came over early in the morning and taught me all morning," Guan Lanfen said with a smile, bending down to wipe the jar where vinegar was made.
Lin Caiwei saw that she hurriedly took the rag, wiped the jar clean, and told her mother the good news brought by Yang Xiaopang by the way.
"Well, then I'll have to go to the street to buy some fruit and bring it over, what should I buy?" watermelon, apples...", Guan Lanfen clapped her palms happily when she heard this, and walked around the house.
Lin Caiwei washed and dried the rag, and said helplessly, "Ouch, my good mother, you just stay at home and cook, I'll ride my bicycle to the fruit street now and buy you the fruit you want, don't run around." ”
After dinner in the evening, Lin Caiwei and her mother went to Yang Xiaopang's house with the fruits they bought at noon.
Yang Xiaopang's house is quite close to her home, more than ten minutes away.
Yang Xiaopang's house is located on the edge of the vegetable field, she has no yard at home, you can see her house when you come to the side of the road, and it is a small yard with a reed bush in the innermost.
As soon as Lin Caiwei and her mother arrived at Yang Xiaopang's house, they heard a burst of dog barking, reminding the owner that a stranger was visiting.
"Weiwei!", Yang Xiaopang knew that it was a friend as soon as he heard his dog barking.
Lin Caiwei shook her head, this guy is always so excited, didn't he just see him a few hours ago?
Yang Xiaopang was followed by a white and chubby woman, who was her mother Li Hong.
"Ouch, come here, what kind of fruit are you mentioning", Li Hong said enthusiastically, and stepped forward to support Guan Lanfen, who had a big belly.
"The first time I came to visit, Sister Li, you have to accept it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to speak", Guan Lanfen is very good at being a person, and she looks embarrassed if you don't accept me.
Li Hong smiled a little more sincerely, and instructed a pair of children to help carry the fruit in, and the two of them came and went, and after greeting for a while, they entered the topic of today's conversation. (To be continued.) )
