Chapter 11 Go home for the Dragon Boat Festival
[I wish everyone a happy Tanabata Festival, a lover will eventually become a family, and no boyfriend and girlfriend will find their own happiness in the morning. Hehe, in fact, bull riding is also a bachelor now, otherwise I would have gone on a date tonight, where would it be updated? For the sake of the bull riding single, let's vote for a few recommendation votes and collect it......]
Early the next morning, Zhou Xing got up, and after washing, the workers at the construction site got up one after another.
"Brother Qiang, hurry up and wash up, let's leave early." Zhou Xing urged.
Zhou Qiang was brushing his teeth, when he heard Zhou Xing's urging, he stopped, held a cup full of water in one hand, a toothbrush in the other, and said with a mouth full of white toothpaste: "Zhou Xing, I won't take your car anymore, you go first!" ”
"Brother Qiang, didn't you say last night that you would take my car? Why don't you sit down now? Zhou Xing asked.
Zhou Qiang hurriedly freed up a hand, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and stretched it out in front of Zhou Xing and said, "Look, today your sister-in-law sent a text message early in the morning, asking me to go to the county seat to buy some fruit and go back, saying that the children in the family have no fruit to eat." ”
"Comrades, who else do you want to take my car back?" Zhou Xing asked loudly.
"Zhou Xing, the noise in your ears is full of in your car, and you don't deaf your ears yet."
"Yes, just your antique car, it will emit black smoke when you take a person, and you may stop somewhere halfway, so let's take the bus to be safe."
Zhou Xing knew that everyone didn't want to take their own car for their own good, because once their car carried one more person, the fuel consumption would increase, and it was estimated that it would cost nearly five yuan more to travel nearly thirty miles from the county seat.
Zhou Xing rode a motorcycle and left first.
When they returned to the village, the villagers had just finished their work in the fields and were walking home with hoes on their shoulders. Along the way, Zhou Xingyi greeted the people in the village one by one.
When I got home, my grandfather was having breakfast. Zhou Xing's grandfather nǎinǎi heard the sound of the motorcycle outside the door, and knew that it was Zhou Xing who was back, Zhou Xing's nǎinǎi just hurriedly walked out of the house with a rice bowl, and after seeing Zhou Xing, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Xiaoxing, you're back." ”
“nǎinǎi。” Looking at his white-haired nǎinǎi, Zhou Xing exclaimed happily.
Zhou Xing parked the car and got out of the car, carrying the tonic he had bought for his grandfather nǎinǎi in his hand.
After Zhou Xing's nǎinǎi saw the things in Zhou Xing's hand, his face showed unhappiness, and he said with a sense of blame: "Xiaoxing, what are you buying these things for, it's a waste of money, your grandfather and I don't like to eat these things the most." Besides, your grandfather is in good health, and he needs to eat this mess. ”
Zhou Xing knew that his nǎinǎi was not that he didn't like to eat these supplements, but he was reluctant to spend money to buy them. After his parents died, his grandfather nǎinǎi was frugal and pulled himself up.
Zhou Xing still clearly remembers that it was when he was eleven or twelve years old, and it was also the time when he grew up. In order not to delay his development, his grandfather nǎinǎi took out his coffin to buy meat for himself, while his grandfather nǎinǎi ate radish and cabbage.
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Nǎinǎi, these things didn't cost much, not to mention that I can make money now, it's time for me to honor you and grandpa." ”
"You can't make money indiscriminately, huh? You're not too young anymore, it's time to save more money to marry a wife. That's right, Xiaoxing, it's not nǎinǎi urging you, I see that there is a suitable girl. "Xiaoxing's nǎinǎi three sentences do not leave the bank, and every time I talk to Zhou Xing, I will say this.
Zhou Xing was not bored, because he knew that his nǎinǎi wanted to start a family as soon as possible, so that she would have a wish. If nǎinǎi couldn't see Zhou Xing marrying a wife and having children before her death, it is estimated that she would not have died blindly.
"As soon as your grandson comes back, you tell him this. Do you think other people's girls are items, Xiaoxing takes a fancy to marry if he wants to? Grandpa Zhou Xing's voice came out of the house.
"I told Xiaoxing, I didn't talk to you, you still drink your bar." Zhou Xing's nǎinǎi said.
"Grandpa." Zhou Xing walked into the house and saw his grandfather sitting on a chair with a cup and drinking wine, a plate of green beans on the table, and there was no pork in the dish, only chili peppers. Zhou Xing's grandfather looked red and bright.
"Xiaoxing, you haven't eaten yet! Go get a bowl in the kitchen and eat. Zhou Xing's grandfather said happily.
In the process of eating, nǎinǎi saw that Zhou Xing had tanned a lot again, and he devoured it while eating, and said with concern: "Xiaoxing, eat slowly, eat slowly." Xiaoxing, with nǎinǎi, is the food on the construction site very poor? ”
Zhou Xing shook his head and said: "There is meat to eat every meal on the construction site, how can it be bad." ”
"Then why are you in such a hurry? And no one is robbing you. ”
"That's because the dishes made by nǎinǎi are delicious."
After breakfast, a light rain suddenly began to fall in the sky. Zhou Xing's grandfather stood at the door and looked at the light rain falling from the sky and said: "It's raining on the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be more rain this year, and there will be no drought." (Note: This is what we say there, and the reader does not have to delve into whether it is right or wrong.) )
Zhou Xing originally wanted to accompany his grandfather nǎinǎi today, and he didn't plan to go anywhere to play, and whether it rained or not had nothing to do with him.
Zhou Xing's nǎinǎi caught a home-raised rooster and killed it, and ate it for the festival today.
Zhou Xing went to the kitchen and boiled the water with a firewood, then helped Nǎinǎi put the rooster into the wooden basin together, and then poured the boiling water down.
The next thing to do is to take the chicken out of the boiling water and pluck the feathers from it. After being scalded by boiling water, the chicken feathers are easily plucked off.
"Xiaoxing, come and play a game of chess with grandpa. Grandpa hasn't been with you for a long time. As soon as he finished plucking the chicken feathers, Grandpa shouted.
"Go ahead! Little Star. nǎinǎi said with a smile.
When he came to the hall, his grandfather had already set up the chess and was waiting for Zhou Xing to go up and play chess.
Zhou Xing's grandfather usually has no other hobbies, so he loves to play chess.
Zhou Xing's chess was still taught by his grandfather, but he was better than the blue, and Zhou Xing's chess skills surpassed his grandfather when he was in the third year of junior high school. Zhou Xing remembered that when his chess skills first began to surpass his grandfather, his grandfather didn't believe it, and he had been playing several games with Zhou Xing, but the result was still the same, losing every time. Grandpa believed that Zhou Xing's chess skills surpassed him.
However, since then, grandpa has played chess with Zhou Xing less. Zhou Xing knew that his grandfather felt that he had been defeated by the apprentices of his own church, and he was very shameless.
"Xiaoxing, don't cheat, don't release water, you know?" After sitting down, Zhou Xing's grandfather said.
"I know grandpa, but I also said that if you take root, you will be where you are, and you can't regret chess."
"Is it okay to repent three times? It's no more than three. Zhou Xing's grandfather asked.
"No, the chess field is like a battlefield, and there is no emotion to talk about. Falling down and taking root, this is the rule. Zhou Xing said.
"Boy, you're ruthless." Grandpa knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless, so he gave up.
"Who's going first?" Grandpa asked.
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of my Chinese nation, grandpa, you go first!" ”
Grandpa was not polite, so he took the lead in chess.
Half an hour passed, and I only heard my grandfather sigh and say, "I lost, I really led the apprentice to starve the master to death." Again! ”
