Chapter 233: The Taste of Home
My mother answered the phone, and she asked me how I remembered to call home, was there a lack of money to spend?
I laughed on the phone to hide my unkindness, and many times, it wasn't that I couldn't remember to call home, but that I was away all the year round, and I didn't know what to say when the call came through. Those pale greetings and cares don't seem to me to mean much at all.
"Where's my dad?"
"Your dad can't win against others in chess, and recently he has fallen in love with fishing, so he may be in a daze on the edge of that fish pond!"
"Is the wheat yellow, when will it be harvested?" I asked.
"It's already in the pocket, leaving the rations and seeds, and the rest is not brought home, and the grain seller pulls it away directly in the field."
I touched my head, as a peasant, I seemed so unqualified, in the words of the city people, I was just incomprehensible.
"This year, the price of wheat is low, and a total of 20,000 yuan has been sold. If you want to use it, I'll ask your dad to go to the bank and transfer it to you? "My mother saw that I had not spoken for a long time, thinking that I was too embarrassed to speak if I was short of money, so she took the initiative to ask me.
"I opened an inn, and I can earn 20,000 yuan a month, and now it's not bad money, you can keep it." I tried my best to brag in front of my mom, just hoping she wouldn't worry about me.
"That's good, that's good, you're better than your dad. In addition to growing crops, he can only fish, and he can't win against others in chess. ”
"And what have you been up to lately?"
"I usually help my neighbors take care of their children, but this weekend, they didn't go to work and brought them by themselves. I took the time to go to the ridge in the morning to pick up some soft ground, your dad wanted to eat the soft bun of vermicelli, and it was almost out of the pot and I didn't see your dad come back. ”
I wanted to eat the bag made by my mother, and my saliva almost fell on the coffee table.
"It's so tiring to take care of children, you might as well dance a square dance if you're fine, and you're not short of that money!" I quickly withdrew the topic from eating, lest I rush home to eat soft buns uncontrollably.
"I've been suffering from back pain lately, and I'm still dancing in a square. Bringing children is tiring, but not panicking, and besides, I like children, so I can save some money for you to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
My mother's meaning couldn't be more obvious, she went around the bend to urge me to get married and have children quickly, in fact, this matter, it is time for me to seriously consider it.
"Then would you like to come to Xi'an for a while? You come over to cook for me and Li Xin, how lively the people in Xi'an are, and they won't panic! ”
In fact, the idea in my heart is to let my mother come over to adapt to a period of time, if she can adapt to life in Xi'an, then simply don't go back, the old couple has been staying in the countryside for the first half of their lives, and when they are old, it is time to come to the city to enjoy the convenient life of the city.
"I won't go, the air in the city is not good, everything costs money, how can I compare with home? Besides, I'm going to cook for you, who will cook for your dad? ”
My mother's life has always revolved around my dad, and her mind has never deviated, cooking for my dad, washing my dad's clothes, doing this and that for my dad, never feeling hard, loyal and simple.
If some of today's girls were half as good as my mother, society would be twice as stable as it is now.
"If you don't come, don't come, when the branch of my inn opens and it is operating normally, I will take the time to come back to see you."
"Take care of yourself outside, don't cause trouble, think later, don't smoke, and listen to your mother. It's time for the bag to come out of the pot, I won't talk to you, and I'll call your dad again in the evening, goodbye. ”
My mom quickly hung up the phone, and in the sound of hanging up, I snuffed out the cigarette butt I had just lit, and my mood instantly changed a lot.
clicked on WeChat and posted a sentence in the circle of friends - "It's a cigarette that Dad can't quit, and the smoke is permeated and yellowed his fingertips; The taste of home is the dishes cooked by my mother's own hands, and the aroma fills my childhood. ”
Pa Ji, the shareholder of the inn in Singapore, praised me in seconds, and her appearance reminded me of the shareholder dividend a few days ago, and I didn't feel a tightness.
Zhang Zhang wrote the words "Smoking is really hard to quit", and @ me, Chiguoguo's take advantage of me, this grandson wants to be my father.
I typed in the word "roll", but then deleted it again, and re-typed "Dad, Qinling Station is going to be renovated, you must take the time, otherwise be careful not to recognize you......"
"Roll ~~~" tension seconds back.
Chen Jing didn't know when she saw me coming, and she brought a cup of coffee in front of me very intimately. I happened to be on the phone with my mom when she came over, so she put down her coffee and went back without saying a word.
and Zhang Zhang were blind and poor in the circle of friends for a while, and when he picked up the coffee on the table, Wen was just right.
Chen Jing's technique is still relatively unique, although I am a rough person and rarely drink coffee, but the coffee from Chen Jing's hands tastes many times better than those instant coffees such as Nestle, the entrance is silky and smooth, soft and long, making people feel like they are deep in early spring.
I want to name this coffee "First Love", I don't know if Chen Jing will like it.
On the table is a particularly delicate and small potted plant, similar to a newly grown narcissus, which looks delicate and gives people a particularly comfortable feeling.
At the rooftop café, I always feel that life can go by so slowly, young people don't need to run around, choose their own life, do what they want to do, have, and work hard for their dreams. Instead, tired of running through the middle of the sea of people all day long.
Looking at the South Lake in the distance, the poor urbanites have nowhere to go on the weekend, so they can only drag their families to the South Lake, and the family boating on the South Lake is already a particularly luxurious thing. After all, what little softness remains in this hard city is about to become hard.
In the lake, there are free water birds that burrow into the lake, and after a while, they burrow far out of the water. Waterfowl are always so stubbornly away from tourists, this is an era of lack of color, barren vision, and urban people greedily overdraw the colors of nature.
I wanted to take another sip of coffee called "First Love", and when I was facing the South Lake, I picked up the potted plant on the table and brought it to my mouth, until the black soil in the pot poured into my mouth, and I realized that I had taken the wrong cup.
Chen Jing was chatting with an old friend not far away, and she accidentally saw my move, laughed and ran over with a bottle of mineral water.
"Invested!" I was embarrassed.
"It's really devoted, who knows if you're fascinated by a certain beauty in the South Lake?" Chen Jing smiled and spoke.
"Where can I be as elegant as you say? I'm just a rough person, and the only thing that can fascinate me is RMB, and I'm no longer interested in beautiful women! I turned around and rinsed my mouth at the drain.
"I just reluctantly believe you, the night before the renovation of the rooftop coffee shop, I revised the design and the case late, I felt uncomfortable lips, I opened the drawer to get the lip gloss, but I don't know how, I actually found a glue stick from the drawer. The funniest part is that after I finish applying the glue stick to my lips, I still lick my lips and lick it before I feel that something is wrong. So I can understand you, everyone is obsessed with money, isn't it? ”
This confusing thing that happened to Chen Jing was even funnier than what I had just done, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Many details of life are full of all kinds of joy, but many times, we lack the vision to find joy.
After laughing, I casually asked Chen Jing if she had any good ideas for the coffee shop in the post station that was about to enter the renovation stage, and whether it had a different theme style from the rooftop café?
"Can you give me a little more visibility before you lay it out?" Chen Jing glanced at me, and then said: "You know, the scenery over there in Qinling is good, and if you are in a daze when you drink coffee, if you don't have a quiet and beautiful scenery, you won't be able to achieve the expected effect." ”
"I thought the same thing, but there were some limitations to the location. The fourth floor and below are commercial, and the four floors and above are residential, and the roof area of the podium is not very large, and it is not very safe to worry about falling objects on the high-rise, so this time it cannot be selected on the roof, and can only be excavated indoors. I'm going to go tomorrow, if you can find time, you can come with me, and after surveying the scene, I'll do my best to leave you with the area that has been realized. ”
Chen Jing nodded and said that she would arrange it now, and Ming'er would go over early in the morning to see it.
After finishing speaking, she Nunu pointed to a goddess-like woman not far away, saying that there was a friend over there who wanted to be missed.
I nodded as she turned and walked towards the table on the other side, and there was a very intimate sound on the roof at this time, which was a song from one of Chen Sheng's albums, "My Little Freshness".
People who have grown up are a group of nostalgic people, listening to Chen Sheng's album that seems to be a bit niche, but I love it alone, gives people a particularly strong feeling that music can still do this, and life can also be lived like this.
Because I had already put a lot of effort into the market research before. For the theme style of the Qinling Station of Lotto has been carefully set, although I am more confident in my own aesthetics, but the only criterion to test whether the style design is successful enough is the acceptance of the market, no matter how ingenious I play tricks, most consumers can not accept that is also meaningless.
So, some time ago, I sent a sample of my design to a professional play design forum for testing, and the situation was worse than I thought. However, because I am more active in the design forum, and the gods know the purpose of my design sample, we know that I am in Xi'an to do a good job of crowdfunding inn, so I try my best to help me, the design sample in the gods after the modification, initially set four, the forum everyone voted, and selected two different styles outside the station to vote.
I think that tomorrow, when I go to the forum, no matter which proposal has a high vote rate, even if I am not very optimistic, I will listen to everyone's opinions.
I can still understand this.
If you spend a lot of time at the foot of the mountain, you will gradually become alienated from city life. I will go back to the mountain early tomorrow morning to decorate, I want to take time to visit Wei Qingfeng and Uncle Wei in the afternoon, and if it is possible in the evening, I will ask Wang Ba and Lao Liu to have a big drink together, and the business of Qinling Post Station also needs to be taken care of by Uncle Wei?
Thinking of this, I dialed Uncle Wei's number......
