Chapter 14: The Great Uncle
In the past two days, Xu Xuecheng's family can be regarded as the busiest in the entire Xujiawu Commune, the eldest daughter-in-law and the little girl, carrying a frame basket, and some half-grown children, carrying broken sacks, are all here to send winter mushrooms, which no one touches on weekdays, and now the commune is harvested for 1 cent, and it is more expensive, one cent and a half, and I have lived for so long, and I haven't seen anyone receive this thing.
The other members of the mushroom collection team arrived before dawn in the morning, and when it was dark, someone came one after another with a big bag of winter mushrooms, fortunately, everyone went to bed early at night, and they could get up at four or five o'clock in the morning, and when Xu Xuecheng heard the sound and got up from the bed, the hall at home was already crowded.
The table of the eight immortals for dinner at home was moved to the middle of the hall, and Xu Xuecheng's grandfather sat on the top, holding a new bill in his hand, and was writing there: "Xu Shicai's family, 33 catties of dry, 29 catties of wet, a total of seven yuan, eight cents and five, has been paid zero..."
A group of girls and daughters-in-law were surrounded by them, and the children had already been squeezed under the table.
"If you take a picture of this scene and show it to your grandmother, I don't know what will happen!" Xu Xuecheng was obscene in his heart, of course, he didn't have that condition, the BB machine had not come out, let alone a mobile phone, the nearest photo studio nearby was in the town, maybe there was guts, but the end would definitely not be too good.
"Learned, got up, today's 500 pounds have been loaded, will you go with the car?"
Wang Meilan was walking in from the door, saw Xu Xuecheng with a towel around his neck, walked out of the room, and asked.
"Well, yes, I'll go with you twice, and then let them go with Xuede when you are familiar with it, and Uncle Cousin in the guest house is also familiar with it, and I told the people over there that Uncle Cousin will be able to send it alone!"
"So good, so good" Wang Meilan is reluctant to let her children get up early every day and go to the county dozens of kilometers, haven't you seen that you have lost weight in the past two days! (I don't know how you are, my mother sees that I am "thin" every time)
Squeezing through the chaotic crowd, Xu Xuecheng brought a bowl of porridge, got it, the table was gone, sandwiched two pieces of moldy tofu (tofu), squatted on the threshold and drank it in a few sips, and led a team of people to deliver the goods.
This time I went to the farmers' market, and I met Ye Zhaoxin at the door, "Yes, Brother Ye, it's early, have you eaten?"
Ye Zhaoxin was carrying winter melons to the car with the young man that day, and looked back at Xu Xuecheng, "Yo, how can you be early, dozens of miles have arrived here, I'm afraid I won't go on the road before dawn!"
Xu Xuecheng handed over the cigarettes while letting the two brothers unload the goods.
The old location, the two brothers in this land are familiar with each other, and they can talk to the stall owner next door, and the taro stall owner also asked, "Swallow, that girl didn't come today?"
Xu Xuecheng also scattered a cigarette and went over, "No, it's too far, the girl's house didn't let her come." “
"Brother Ye, what else is there here, my tractor is going to go over anyway, let my cousin take it over for you at one time, right?" Xu Xuecheng saw that the goods on the car were unloaded, so he asked Ye Zhaoxin to carry all the remaining green leafy vegetables on the tractor.
When they arrived, Ye Zhaoxin hurriedly beckoned the two of them to unload the goods, Xu Xuecheng and his cousin wanted to get started, but they were stopped by Ye Zhaoxin, "Come on, come on, go to my office to drink saliva, just let them come, thank you more today, otherwise I have to run twice!"
"My own people, you're polite, I haven't been to your office to sit in it so many times, so I'll bother today!" Ye Zhaoxin took Xu Xuecheng through the alley in the backyard of the guest house and went up to the second floor.
The two entered the office that said "Procurement Department", Ye Zhaoxin was very polite, made tea, and moved a "Bat" electric fan, "Come to the meeting, they will come to talk to me when the goods are unloaded!"
Xu Xuecheng looked around, the room was not big, a desk, a bookcase, a poster of "Red Sun" was pasted on the bookcase, a chair behind the desk, and two slightly lower chairs, which were probably for guests to sit on.
"Hey, Brother Ye, your office is very magnificent!" Xu Xuecheng said casually, this is not a mockery, at this time the county buildings are in tatters, it is really not bad to have such an office!
"Ah, this was originally my old uncle's office, he was transferred to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau some time ago, and moved to the county building, this office is vacant, just let me come over, temporarily borrowed, I am a section member, how can I have such great ability, and I have my own office!" Ye Zhaoxin hurriedly waved his hand.
Xu Xuecheng's eyes rolled, "Old uncle, which old uncle?"
"You know each other well, just the old uncle of the old aunt in the farmer's market! Now he has been transferred to the director of the China Merchants Bureau!"
"Oh, China Merchants, that's a good unit! It's a lot old, isn't it?" Xu Xuecheng said in a deliberately envious voice.
Ye Zhaoxin waved his hand and asked Xu Xuecheng to be quiet, "Don't be so loud, the impact is not good, and the new China Merchants Bureau, to be honest, there is no oil and water, I listened to what my aunt said, you see that this has been called for so long, let alone the township commune, let's just this county, there are few commissaries, and the farmers' market is a big head, if you want me to say, it is not as comfortable as being a section chief in the procurement department before!"
"That's different, isn't our old uncle going up? In the future, the little brother will have to rely on you to take care of him in the county!" Xu Xuecheng turned the electric fan around, and slapped Ye Zhaoxin at Ye Zhaoxin, and Ye Zhaoxin, who was happy, nodded straight.
"No problem, what's going on in the county, you just look for a brother!" Ye Zhaoxin slapped his chest with a shocking sound!
After a while, the goods on the tractor were unloaded, Uncle Cousin took a list, Xu Xuecheng asked him to follow him to the Finance Department to receive the money, and asked Ye Zhaoxin when he left, "Brother Ye, I may not come in two days, there is still something at home, shall I ask my cousin to send it to you every day?"
Ye Zhaoxin immediately patted his chest, "What's the matter, cousin, I remember everything, so let him come!"
"Haole, I promise to complete the task of the organization!" Xu Xuecheng jumped into the car with a smile and walked out of the compound of the guest house with a "poof".
When he went to the farmers' market, Xu Xuecheng asked his cousin to help take care of the stall first, and then went to the commissary at the door to buy a bag of toffee and a bag of dried longan, and carried it to the ticket office.
"Auntie, are you free now?" Xu Xuecheng shouted outside the window.
The aunt in charge heard someone calling her, looked out of the window, and saw that it was Xu Xuecheng, so she opened the small door next to her, "Chengcheng, why are you here so late today, come here, come in and drink saliva!"
"Auntie, thank you for taking care of me these days, and you also solicited me for the business of the guest house, this thing is my nephew, I honor you!" Xu Xuecheng went in and stuffed the two bags into his aunt's hands.
"Oh, what are you doing, I can't help it, I can't help you, auntie, I'm not helping you anything, it's all my own child, you must not be polite, take it back quickly!"
Xu Xuecheng stuffed it a few times, but he was pushed back, and he also began to complain, "Don't you say that it's your own child, your own child still takes two bags for the New Year (our New Year's greeting is a bag of sugar and a bag of dried fruit), you don't accept these two bags, you just don't treat me as a nephew, I will throw it into the water when I go out!"
Seeing that Xu Xuecheng was starting to play a scoundrel, the aunt chuckled, "You kid, I know you are sensible, my old nephew hasn't brought me a bag yet, but you have the heart, come to see my old woman when you have time, and accompany me to cheer for the family, okay, okay, I'll take it, don't go crazy there." ”
Xu Xuecheng put down the kettle in his hand at once, "Who said that my aunt and old woman, my aunt is young, if you put on a red hijab, you can definitely charm a guy!"
The aunt slapped Xu Xuecheng's head with a palm, "Go, it's not big or small, my aunt dares to laugh." ”
Xu Xuecheng pretended to be aggrieved and pursed his mouth, "What I said is the truth!"
Seeing that the aunt was pretending to be angry there, but the corners of her mouth were secretly raised, Xu Xuecheng leaned in, "Auntie, I heard Brother Ye say that my aunt-in-law has had some problems at work recently?"
