Chapter 14: Simple Life

Tan Fei's habit once again made him ignore the possible problems and leak all the college entrance examination questions. Although he said that there was a so-called capable person to help, although he tried his best to cover it up and did not directly say the topic, but when he met someone who was interested, he would definitely think a lot.

"Of course, the understanding of a topic can be multifaceted, it's just a thought."

“…… I'm wondering, why would someone get sick and look down on the sick, and if a person is really going to die, can he only blame his life? Xu Zhuo's mind has been thinking deeply.

"This may not have much to do with the college entrance examination essay, but your thinking is well extended, so you don't have to worry about your theme idea falling into mediocrity. I still have to warn you that some thoughts that are too sensitive should be paid attention to, and now is not the time to appear. ”

……

The two of them chatted and walked, and time flew by.

"Alright, it's time for me to get out of the car." At a triangular intersection, Xu Zhuo reminded that in fact, she wished she could talk a little longer.

Tan Fei didn't think so, "There is still a little way to your village, why don't I take you there, and I will come back." ”

"That's no, it's troublesome, so let's leave it here."

Tan Fei stopped the car, waited for Xu Zhuo to get down, and said, "Otherwise, I'll be closer to home, just walk back, you can ride this car back, just ride back to school on Monday." ”

"What are you going to do on Monday?"

"It's very convenient for me, there are cars at this intersection, just take a taxi and go to school, that's it." As he spoke, he put the bicycle into Xu Zhuo's hand.

“…… All right. ”

Although they were very reluctant to separate, Tan Fei was in a good mood.

……

Got off the highway and got on the dirt road. Walking along the Qingshui River for two or three miles is Xiaoqingshan Village.

Xiaoqingshan Village is named after the fact that there is a mountain in the east of the village, called Xiaoqingshan.

This is where Tan Fei was born and grew up.

There are still some relatives in the village, and the grandfather died early, but the grandmother is still there. Tan Fei's father is the second, and the three families of the uncle, the third uncle, and the younger uncle are also in the village.

It's just that the relationship between the four brothers is not harmonious, people, not necessarily the poorer and simpler, when they can't eat enough, they often make ugly noises for some petty profits.

Grandma has worked hard all her life and fed seven children, and her health is not very good when she is old, and none of the brothers is willing to take the old man home to raise her, but they just discuss that each family will contribute some money every year, and those who have no money will pay food, and life will be like this.

Uncle has nothing to do to go to grandma's house, look at grandma's house can still use the housewares, take it away, sometimes look at the table drawer if there is a little change, it will definitely go.

The third uncle's family has no son and has a daughter, but he never goes to his grandmother's house, only kisses her grandmother.

Uncle has been favored since he was a child, and he is used to having a son, and he has been looking at this old house for a long time, and when his grandmother returns to the West, he can build a new house for him to marry his daughter-in-law, so he scolds his grandmother for being old and immortal.

However, the three aunts often come back to take care of the elderly, and raising children to prevent old age is not reflected in this family.

Tan Fei's father is not bad, although he can't take care of his family, and Tan Fei's stepmother basically doesn't come to the countryside after the second marriage, but the amount of money every year is still the most, but I don't know how much of it was taken away by the other three brothers.

Tan Fei likes to come to the countryside, firstly, grandma is still good to him, and secondly, he has a group of friends who grew up since childhood, and there is never a shortage of topics, even if there are few in high school.

When he arrived at the village store, Tan Fei bought a little pork, two cakes, and went around the vegetable garden to pull some spinach, and when he came back, he was responsible for stir-frying and cooking.

"Xiaofei is back, today Saturday?" There were a few elderly people chatting around the door of grandma's house, and when they saw Tan Fei coming back, they all greeted him with a smile.

"Well, I'm back."

"It's so filial to your grandmother, and she brought meat."

"You can cook it yourself, I've eaten it." Grandma shouted to Tan Fei who was walking into the house.

"Oh."

Tan Fei went to the kitchen to take a look, there was still a little vegetable soup in the pot, the oil was cold, and the pancakes were hanging on the stone grinder outside the house, a little moldy, it was estimated that grandma didn't eat it.

Three times five divided by two, burned a spinach broth, and beckoned to the door, "Grandma, let's eat some more, the soup burns too much, and I can't finish it." ”

"Well, you can eat it yourself." The mouth responded like this, and the person still walked in.

"What are you spending money on to buy dried meat, you want to eat meat, I still have more than a dozen chickens, just catch one and kill it and eat it."

"Let's keep that, you can also exchange pocket money for laying eggs and selling eggs." Tan Fei served two large bowls of dishes and brought them to the table. He actually likes it, much better than at home.

"Do you want to kill chickens? It's a coincidence. "The boss of the uncle's family started shouting outside the yard.

"Tan Ming, why didn't you work?" Uncle is young, but he got married early, Tan Ming is only two years younger than Tan Fei, he didn't study after finishing junior high school, and went to work on the construction site this year.

"I didn't have any work, and now I don't plan the homestead again, and there are few houses to build, so I have been resting for half a month. Hey, didn't you kill the chicken, didn't you kill it? It's okay if you don't kill the chicken and have meat, but you just haven't eaten. ”

For this Tan Ming, who comes to eat every day but never respects him, and has an unclean mouth behind his back, grandma has long been accustomed to it, and Tan Fei is too lazy to say anything to him, everyone in that family has a very powerful mouth.

After eating, Tan Ming touched his stomach and stood up, burping, "Will you kill the chicken tomorrow?" I'm here to help kill. ”

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he went out with his teeth picked.

"This dead boy, so lazy to do, alas! I've been here in the morning, and I've left without cooking, and I don't hear your voice again. Grandma packed up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to wash.

Tan Fei grabbed it and said, "You still have to cook what you should do, you can't make yourself hungry because of this." ”

"You go to school well, go to college, and earn more money in the future. Are you tired of going to school now? ”

"I'm not tired, it's very easy, it's easy to get into a university next year, and it's easy to talk about making money, don't worry about this, take care of your body, I earned money to let you live a good life."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Looking at the wrinkled smile on his grandmother's face, Tan Fei once again felt that making money was a very urgent matter.

In the afternoon, Tan Fei accompanied his grandmother to talk in the yard, occasionally asking about his stepmother, Tan Fei always passed by, and brought the topic to the previous things, people are easy to be nostalgic when they are older, and the two chatted happily this afternoon.

In the evening, the courtyard door was pushed open, and it was Tan Jie, the son of the uncle's family, who came in.

"Brother is back, just in time, will you go with me to set rabbits at night?"

"Oh, let's talk about dinner."

Tan Jie and Tan Fei played together until they grew up, only half a year younger than Tan Fei, but they were half a head taller than Tan Fei, they looked burly and strong, and they didn't study after finishing junior high school, doing manual work in a cigarette factory, and their heads were actually quite smart, but they were a little lazy.

The two of them did a lot of ridiculous things when they were young.

I remember when I was about eleven or twelve years old, the two of them went to herd sheep together, in the ravine, the two stole sweet potatoes to eat, Tan Jie ate until he had diarrhea, squatted on the ground to relieve his big hands, and the sheep were grazing on the side, accidentally alarming a hornet's nest.

After being stung twice, the sheep ran like crazy, but the rope was still in Tan Jie's hand, and before he understood what was going on, he was dragged down, and his pants didn't have time to be lifted.

The sheep was only hit twice, and his buttocks were stung four times, when Tan Jie ran so fast, holding his pants in one hand and dragging the sheep in the other, he ran like a ghost crying wolf, and every time Tan Fei thought of that scene, he had to laugh and lie down.

"Now the rabbit is the fattest, there is no work in the factory in the past two days, I went to the mountains to walk, found a few rabbits, go to the next some sets at night, tomorrow morning without waiting for dawn to get it, specify to get. I went down last week, but I didn't dare to go at night when it was dark, and someone took me when I went in the morning. ”

"I know every day that I think about this, and I can make a fortune. At night, the lights are blind and cold, and I am not afraid of falling when I run up the mountain! "Grandma was a little dissatisfied.

"It's okay, Grandma. I came here to look for some wire, I remember seeing a bundle of thin ones here, where did you put it? After speaking, Tan Jie began to look around in the yard.

"Don't look for it yet, go to your house and get a cabbage, eat it at night, and I'll find it for you." Tan Fei scooped some soybeans with a scoop, loaded some wheat, and went to the village entrance to exchange for tofu and steamed buns.

There is no money on hand, and it is estimated that grandma has no money, at this time, the village can buy steamed buns and buy tofu in barter, and exchange raw materials for one catty.

Life here is very simple, and if there are no natural disasters**, it may not change much in ten years. At least in the past ten years, Tan Fei has not experienced too obvious changes, but in the future, life will be different.
