Chapter 32: Home (Add. 2)
When Fang Lu was about to show his grandfather the set of carpenter's tools one by one, he was patted on the head by his grandfather and said, "Don't be busy, you see that the driver who brought you here asked you to leave it behind." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After speaking, Fang Dingjun walked forward, and said as he walked, "This master, forgive me, my grandson and I haven't seen each other for several months, and I forgot about you with some excitement." ”
Master Zhang said, "Old man, what you said is a bit serious, I can understand that my family hasn't seen each other for several months, don't worry, besides, my car was chartered by Boss Zhao for a day, and it's not a big deal to wait for a while." ”
"You can't say that, it's our fault to let you wait, come on, you shouldn't have eaten, it's noon now, come home and have lunch." Grandpa Fang said.
"No, no old man, I'm not very hungry, I bought some food when I passed the rest area on the highway, and I didn't eat it long ago, and I'm not hungry now." Master Zhang said.
Grandpa Fang persuaded for a long time, but Master Zhang was unmoved, so Grandpa Fang had no tricks, and at this time, he saw Fang Lu standing on the side and reprimanded, "Don't hurry up and find someone, what are you doing standing here stupidly, how can you take down so many things if you don't look for someone." ”
"Oh, but grandpa, my dad should have gone to work, not at home." Fang Lu said.
"I know your father, you can't ask your neighbor Uncle Zhou for help, I remember he seems to be at home." Grandpa Fang said.
"Got it, grandpa." After Fang Lu finished speaking, he ran towards his neighbor's house.
At this time, Grandpa Fang turned to Master Zhang and said, "Master, wait a minute, I'll let someone unload the things in your car, and you can go home early after unloading it early." Grandpa Fang said.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, it's better to unload it early, and I'll rest assured that I'll be relieved as soon as possible, after all, there are so many things in my car." Master Zhang said.
And Fang Lu came to the neighbor Uncle Zhou's house and saw that the gate was open, so Fang Lu walked in, and then shouted loudly in the yard, "Is Uncle Zhou at home?" I'm on the road. ”
I only heard a reply from the house, "Fang Lu, I'm in the back room, what's the matter?" Then a middle-aged man of medium stature came out of the house with a bowl.
"Oh, Uncle Zhou, didn't I just come back from my aunt's place, I brought some things, and my dad is not at home, I can't be busy alone, I want to ask you for a favor and help unload the things." Fang Lu said.
"Oh, that's the case, don't worry, I'll go and help you when I put down the bowl." Uncle Zhou said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at my door, Uncle Zhou." After Fang Lu said this, he walked towards the door of his house.
Out of the gate of Uncle Zhou's house, Fang Lu saw three people standing at the door of his house, he took a closer look and it turned out to be Fang's mother coming out, Fang Lu walked over and shouted "Mom".
Fang's mother looked at her son who hadn't seen her for two months and said, "Son, I haven't seen you for two months, you're thin and dark, what's going on?" In the past, you used to be at your aunt's house, but you were all fat and fat, why is this happening this time? ”
"Mom, don't worry, what can I do at my aunt's house, of course, is to eat well, drink well, play well, and become dark and thin because during this time at my aunt's house, I get up early every morning to run and exercise, and I have nothing to do to play basketball, plus my aunt's house is closer to the south, and the sun is more poisonous than ours, so I get tanned, but your son and my body are much stronger."
Fang's mother walked in and took a look, and sure enough, although her son was dark and thin, he could obviously see that he was much stronger, and then she was relieved.
"Mom, grandpa, I'll take down the small and bits and pieces in the car first, the big ones, the ones that are not easy to take, I'll wait for Uncle Zhou to come over and move them together." Fang Lu said and climbed into the carriage.
He first took down some small and bits and pieces he bought, followed by Fang's mother, and pushed the large and heavy things to the door of the carriage, and then waited until Uncle Zhou came, and the two of them carried them to the house.
After everything was unloaded, Grandpa Fang wanted to keep Master Zhang to rest and rest, but Master Zhang said that since everything was done and he had successfully completed all the tasks, he would not bother, and refused Grandpa Fang's retention and drove back to Jinlin.
For Uncle Zhou, a neighbor who has been busy for a long time, then he can't let him go home directly, Fang Lu took out a sealed Jinlin duck from the luggage he brought and handed it to him, he shirked it, Fang Lu said, "Uncle Zhou asked you to help, I won't pay you, and I won't accept it if I give it, but this is a special Jinlin duck I brought from Jinlin City, you take it back and taste it." ”
Uncle Zhou said, "Fang Lu, I can't accept it, it's all neighbors who help each other, how can I collect things." ”
"Since Uncle Zhou is a neighbor, you have to accept it, I brought a lot of specialties, you can see it just now, my relatives and friends have it, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, our two families have been neighbors for so many years, you have to accept it." Fang Lu persuaded.
"Really, I can't take it." Uncle Zhou said.
"Xiao Zhou, what is a duck pushing and blocking, this is only worth a few dollars, hurry up and put it away, you Uncle Fang and I have spoken, if you don't accept it, you won't give you Uncle Fang and my face." Grandpa said.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhou didn't say anything else, took the duck from Fang Lu's hand and said, "Since Uncle Fang has said so, it's really not okay if I don't take it, then I'll take it." ”
"That's right, take it back and try it, and see the difference between the things in the big city and our small places." Grandpa Fang said.
"Okay, then I'll go back to Uncle Fang, sister-in-law, Xiao Lu." Uncle Zhou said.
"Uh-huh, let's go back." Grandpa Fang returned.
After Uncle Zhou went back, Fang Lu walked into the house with his grandfather and mother.
Entering the house, Fang Lu took out one from the large pile of luggage piled up in the living room, then untied the rope tied to the luggage, and took out two sets of clothes from it, one was a light red short-sleeved blouse and a pair of black women's pants, and the other was a dark brown summer tunic suit.
Fang Lu handed it to his grandfather and mother respectively, and said, "Grandpa, mother, you can try it to see if I buy it properly, I bought it according to your height, it should not be much worse." ”
"You kid, what kind of clothes did you buy for us, isn't it a waste of money, isn't it your aunt who gave you the money to buy them?" Fang's mother said with some complaints.
"Mom, I bought it at the wholesale market in Jinlin City, and it didn't cost a few dollars, and my aunt rewarded me after she heard that I was admitted to a high school." Fang Lu explained.
"Fang Lu, your aunt is so good to you, you have to remember, you must repay your aunt's family when you have the opportunity in the future." Grandpa Fang said.
"Got it, grandpa."
"Okay, don't talk about it, grandpa, mom, you go and try on the clothes, it doesn't fit."
Grandpa Fang and Fang's mother walked into their respective houses to change their clothes, and after a while, Grandpa Fang came out in a tunic suit, Fang Lu looked really energetic and said, "Grandpa, it's really good that you have changed this outfit, if you are taking a figure-eight step, it will look like a national leader." ”
"You kid, don't talk nonsense, your grandfather and I are not so capable of being national leaders." Grandpa Fang reprimanded with a smile.
"Why not, if you had the opportunity to study when you were a child, you would definitely be able to do it." Fang Lu hurriedly flattered.
"Okay, don't be poor, the clothes you bought are good, grandpa likes them," Fang Dingjun said.
"Grandpa, if you like it, it's fine." Fang Lu said.
At this time, Fang's mother got dressed and came out, and said to Fang Lu as she walked, "Son, the color of your shirt is a little bright, it's not suitable for your mother and me to wear at my age." ”
"Mom, what you said is wrong, why is it not suitable, aren't you forty years old yet, I have seen many aunts older than you in Jinlin City wearing all kinds of bright clothes, this is not a big deal." Fang Lu said.
"However, I still don't feel good about my son." Fang's mother said.
"It's okay, A-Ying, how beautiful the clothes my grandson picked, they suit you, your daughter-in-law is dressed beautifully, and it will give me a bad old man's face." Fang Dingjun said.
"That's it, that's it, Mom, you're wearing this very well." Fang Lu echoed.
"Okay, but I'd better not wear this dress at home, let's wear it when I go out." Fang's mother said.
Fang Lu didn't say anything when he saw this, he knew that his mother had always been like this, and it was useless to say it himself.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Fang Lu said pitifully.
"Oh, don't you say I forgot, there are still pork ribs stewed in the pot." Fang's mother shouted, and then rushed towards the kitchen.
"Hey, Fang Lu, you see that your mother forgot all the stewed ribs when she saw you go back." Fang Dingjun said.
"It's okay, grandpa's ribs will be stewed more to be delicious." Fang Lu said.
After waiting for a while, Fang's mother walked in with a pot of steaming pork ribs, put it on the dining table, and then brought a plate of chili fried meat and spicy chicken from the kitchen, and said to Fang Lu, "Son, you're hungry, hurry up and eat, I'm happy to see you come back, forget about it." ”
"It's okay, Mom, I ate a little on the way, I'm not too hungry." Fang Lu said.
"You have to eat if you're not hungry, you're not at home during this time, you haven't had much fire at home, and besides, the food on your brother-in-law's side is a bit out of line with the taste of our Huaibei people after all, even if you have big fish and meat, you may not be able to eat it, and now you finally come back, you have to eat it well, eat all this pot of pork ribs." Fang's mother said.
Fang Lu's face was embarrassed when he heard Fang's mother's words, this big pot of pork ribs has to be more than four catties, and there must be two catties to remove the bones, and he has to eat them all, although he is now at the age of eating a poor man at half the age, but this task is a bit heavy, but seeing his mother staring at him, Fang Lu sighed and ate it.
And Fang Dingjun was sitting on the sidelines, smiling, drinking wine and eating food, watching Fang Lu slowly gnaw on the ribs there.
