Chapter Ninety-Three: Human Affection
"Wow-I want, I want-" Hou Xiaobao felt the pain on his little buttocks, tears hurt out, but he still cried out uncompromisingly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Would it be okay to sell you for this pheasant?! Bai Bing was obviously a strict mother, and she slapped the little fat man's ass again.
In terms of children's education, Bai Bing obviously has a lot more say. Hou Lin stood by and watched, and did not step forward to say anything.
Hou Lin didn't speak, and the young man leading the way in front of him looked embarrassed - this was nothing; Not to mention, looking at the crowd of onlookers, I felt bad.
"Oh - give it to the kid if he wants!" The old man who sold pheasants relieved them.
He took two pheasants out of the chicken coop, sealed them in a cardboard box, and handed them over.
Bai Bing looked at the various eyes of the people around him, and also felt that teaching children on the street was not the same thing. She looked at the cardboard box handed over by the old man, and went down the "steps" - she glared fiercely at Hou Xiaobao in her arms, took the cardboard box handed by the old man, and said in her heart: I was slaughtered as a pig today, and I also recognized the old lady.
"How much?" She asked in a cold voice.
The young man next to him was about to speak, but he heard the old man say, "Do you know Zhou Yi?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what the old man in front of him had to do with Zhou Yi. Qingshan Town, even if you add those wild ravines and ravines, it is so big, not to mention that Zhou Yi is so famous, it is not strange that this old man knows him, so he casually introduced: "Yes." This is Zhou Yi's classmate, who came to play. ”
"Zhou Yi's classmates?" The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Bing. said: "Big sister." The price I gave you is indeed a bit higher. But now, there are more people in the city, and the price is indeed higher. However, since you know Zhou Yi, these two pheasants will be given to you. ”
"How's that going to work?" As soon as Bai Bing heard the old man's words, he hurriedly handed back the things he received in his hand.
Who would have thought that this old man looked quite old. But the strength is not small, and the calloused hand blocks the middle, and Bai Bing's hand can't reach out.
"Give it to you, and you take it." The old man's words were very blunt, and his eyes were full of determination.
The young man who led the way saw the old man's resolute attitude, and saw that Bai Bing and Hou Lin were going to say something, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Take it, it's okay." ”
"This, this is ......" Bai Bing still insisted, but when he saw the young man shake his head, his voice weakened. The hand that stretched out in the air was retracted, "Then thank you, old uncle." ”
A few people walked forward for a while. Seeing that he was far away from the old man, Hou Lin said the doubts in his heart, "What's going on?" ”
"The people who grow grapes with Brother Yi have made a lot of money. Just a few days of hard work is enough for them to make a fortune! The young man thought of those people who were pulling grapes out one by one, and as he spoke, his eyes were full of envy, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart why he hadn't made up his mind to follow Brother Yi to plant grapes.
He continued: "In the past, when people saw Brother Yi come back to farm, they all scolded him for being stupid? It's stupid to read a book! Looking at the mountain town now, who doesn't want to plant grapes with Brother Yi? That person just now, I guess, either he or someone in his family wants to grow grapes with Brother Yi......"
The next words, without the need for young people to say, Hou Lin and Bai Bing understood everything, only Hou Xiaobao was still ignorant looking at the cardboard box containing pheasants and smirking.
He didn't know the meaning of the words of the adults, but he knew that the uncle they were about to meet seemed to be very powerful.
"Then we don't know who he is. This favor doesn't seem to be of much use. Hou Lin wondered.
"Where can it be useless? Even if you don't know each other, this Qingshan Town is so big, after a little inquiry, who doesn't know who? The youth explained.
"I don't feel good all the time. Isn't this helping your classmate collect favors! Bai Bing seemed to be speaking to Hou Lin, but her eyes were looking at the young man in front of her.
"What's the matter? He's not the only one who delivers things. We only accept things, and let Brother Yi bother with the rest! The young man said, and even he himself smiled.
Just as a few people were laughing, they saw an old woman in front of them.
As soon as the old grandmother saw the young man, she immediately packed a bag of vegetables and stuffed it into his hand.
"Auntie, I really don't need this."
"Not for what? Zhou Yi grew up eating the vegetables I planted, otherwise he could be so promising? You don't eat vegetables! The old woman said, and stuffed a few more handfuls of vegetables into the bag in his hand.
"They are?" The old woman looked at the two people next to her and couldn't help asking.
"Zhou Yi's classmates." The young man replied with a wry smile.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Zhou Yi's classmates, the old grandmother's eyes immediately lit up, and she took two more bags of vegetables and stuffed them into the hands of Hou Lin and his wife, "You people in the city can't eat the vegetables grown by our farmers." Let's not mess with that mess...... Zhou Yi grew up eating my food, you see how capable he is now......"
Hou Lin and his wife glanced at each other, and they both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes, and carefully took the vegetables that the old lady in front of them, who was about seventy or eighty years old, forced over.
The two of them were carrying green vegetables and looked at the young man in front of them with a smile, "Brother Zhou, you said that we went to Zhou Yi's house and carried this dish, what's the matter?" You gifts here are too capable, and it's not okay not to accept them. ”
"Now you know the enthusiasm of the people of our Qingshan Town, right? Brother Yi usually lives in Dongtian, which is fine. You don't know, one day he came back to the town, and before he had even walked a few steps, he was dragged away...... When I got to the bottom of his house, the car was full of cigarettes and alcohol......"
"Wouldn't it? So terrifying? ”
"It's all acquaintances and elders, and it's not okay if you don't accept it.
You don't know, there is an old man with an uncle, and his children also want to follow Zhou Yigan. He saw that the people around him were giving gifts, and he felt that it was not good not to give them. But when it comes to gift-giving, he can't pull the skin.
Seeing Zhou Yi passing by his door, he grabbed Zhou Yi and shouted: Zhou Yi, you still have a few bottles of wine at my house two days ago, why don't you take them back? Really!
Brother Yi thought that the other party had made a mistake at the time, and was still explaining, but he didn't want to be dragged into the house by the uncle, so he forced a few cigarettes and a few bottles of wine in his hand into his hands.
Now everyone in my town knows about this joke. ”
"It's really 'pity the hearts of parents all over the world', this ...... of parents," Bai Bing said with feeling.
"Who's to say it isn't?" The young man followed suit. He doesn't have much feeling about "being a parent".
The group continued to walk towards a small pier by the water.
"How do you get here?" Hou Lin wondered.
"The road to Dongtian is blocked, so it's more convenient for us to take the waterway." The young man led Hou Lin's family onto a small boat. (To be continued.) )
