Chapter 341: Qingming (2)
Jiang Qingsheng, the son of Jiang Fengshi's family, quickly ran to the house and shouted loudly, "The mother is back!" ”
Mrs. Jiang Fengshi looked at her sweaty son and smiled, "I didn't see the turtle king, but I saw a thin turtle running in a panic!" ”
"Mother, I mean it's really that Uncle Turtle Wang, no, Uncle Jiangbian, uh, Uncle Man, is back!" Jiang Qingsheng changed several titles before finding the most suitable one.
"Really, rabbit cub, if you dare to lie to the old lady, see if I don't make a bamboo board fried meat at night." Mrs. Jiang Fengshi threatened.
Stir-fried pork on bamboo boards is also commonplace for Jiang Qingsheng, but this time, he is not worried at all.
"Mother, if I didn't lie to you, can I go to the town tomorrow to buy a remote-piloted plane?"
Jiang Fengshi's mother-in-law was busy cooking in the kitchen, Jiangbian was not at home, and the person who carried the monument was placed in Jiang Fengshi's house to entertain. Carrying a monument is not the same as doing other work, the salary cannot be less, and you have to take care of other people's food. There can be no shortage of cigarettes, and if the conditions are good, you have to buy a pair of liberation shoes for everyone. However, now it is not fashionable to liberate shoes in the countryside, so I buy sneakers. You don't need any good cigarettes, you used to use two yuan a pack, but now you have to use at least five yuan a pack. Those who are willing to use ten yuan a pack, and there are also dozens of yuan. In addition to these, you also have to take care of the food.
When he walked by the river, he asked Jiang Fengshi not to save money, and not to treat the people in the village badly. Although Jiangbian is not very rich now, it is still no problem to make this money. Besides, erecting a monument is the same as holding a funeral, and it is also a very face-saving thing in the countryside. Last time, the funeral of the turtle king was not grand enough, and Jiangbian felt indebted to his adoptive father. Now that I have money, I naturally have to make up for it.
"Is your Uncle Man really back?" Mrs. Jiang Fengshi stopped what she was doing and asked.
"If you don't believe it, go out and see it yourself. I saw him get off the boat, and I ran back. Oops, it's a big loss, I ran in a hurry just now, and I didn't notice what Uncle Man was carrying in his hand. Last time, he came back, but he was scattered with candy! Jiang Qingsheng hurriedly ran out again.
"This bastard boy is just thinking about eating. Will your Uncle Man be missing your share? ”
The last time Jiangbian came back, he gave Jiang Qingsheng a big bag of food. When he left, he also gave Jiang Qingsheng a big red envelope, which was a few hundred yuan, and it was the first time Jiang Qingsheng received such a big red envelope.
But Jiang Qingsheng ran fast, and in a blink of an eye he ran to the entrance of the village, where Jiangbian was distributing candy to the children who came to watch the excitement and giving cigarettes to the old and young masters.
"Jiangbian, you are developed now. All stinky such good smoke. Expensive, right? The villagers took the cigarette by the river, didn't want to light it immediately, put it to their nose and smelled it, and asked.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's a friend, I don't smoke, and I don't know what it's like.
Isn't it just a pack of cigarettes? Kawabe said.
Ebe's parents originally wanted to come with Ebe, pay homage to Ebe's adoptive father. Jiangbian told them about the customs here. Then a man rushed back.
Jiangbian's parents have been out for many years, and they haven't swept the ancestral graves on Qingming Festival for many years. Old Man Tang really hopes that Jiangbian can also stay. But after knowing the situation by the river, he had to fold the middle of the riverside alone in the middle of the mountain village, and the parents of the riverside stayed in southern Sichuan to worship their ancestors.
Zhang Jingyao bought a lot of things for the riverside, and she couldn't wait to pack the mountain city and let the riverside take it back to Banshan Village.
"This smoke is rare, the smoke from the south of Sichuan. I've never seen this package. ”
Jiangbian didn't have much friendship with these people, no matter how rare they were, he just scattered a few for them and walked home.
"Uncle Man. My father carried a monument up the mountain for your family. I asked them to help just now, and they all deliberately avoided it, so don't give them cigarettes to smoke. Jiang Qingsheng ran over quickly. Seeing that those people still wanted cigarettes by the river, he hurriedly said. …,
The villagers were so ashamed that they made excuses and went to their homes.
Jiang Fengshi and Jiang Laosi followed the village a few times, the labor force in the village is too small, but there are still many laborers who work in the neighborhood at home. Now there is a shortage of labor, and even in a relatively poor place like Shanmen Town, the wage is not low. So, in the past two years, some people have started to stay at home, work around the area, and take care of the family's land. The most important thing is that there is no need for wives to be separated, and the elderly are left unattended.
These people don't have a very good relationship with Jiangbian, although Jiang Fengshi and Jiang Laosi came to invite them, they didn't want to go. Jiangbian may leave one day, and no matter how rich Jiangbian is, he will not be able to rely on it in the future, so there is no need to do things for him. Although there is a salary, this is a chore.
When Jiangbian heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and even if he touched someone in the back, he might not scoop out the smoke. Jiang Qingsheng is very clear about whose family went to help and whose family refused to go.
"Birthday, go, go to your house. Put the things down, and let's go to the mountains together. Kawabe said.
Jiang Qingsheng said happily, "That's good." Wait a minute, I'll take you. ”
Jiang Qingsheng said, but his mouth was stuffed with candy.
Jiang Qingsheng was like a festival, and Jiangbian scooped out bags of beautifully packaged candy from his pocket like a trick, some of which Jiang Qingchang had never seen so much. Jiang Qingsheng had a big bag in his hand, which made the children in the village covetous. Jiang Bian was not as generous to them as he was to Jiang Qingsheng.
"Silly boy, why are you in such a hurry? These candies are all yours. Kawabe said.
"Uncle Man, the candy you buy is always the best." Jiang Qingsheng gave Jiangbian a word of praise.
"Riverside, you're back. If you don't come back, some people in this village can't sit still. Even your house is coveted. People are always coming to inquire about you these days. It is said that if you recognize your biological parents, you will not recognize your adoptive father. I'll just say they fart. I said that my brother was kind and loyal, and he would never be able to do such a thing. Mrs. Jiang Fengshi greeted her at the door.
Jiangbian smiled, "I'm not at home, but thanks to the fifth brother and five sisters-in-law, and the fourth brother and four sisters-in-law take care of me." ”
"Whatever to say, everyone is a family. Brothers don't help each other, but watch others bully the door? Jiang Fengshi's mother-in-law said.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you are busy first, and I will go to the mountain to take a look." Jiang said and put down his luggage, carrying only a small bag.
"It's not a good road, you just came back, why don't you sit at home? They should be back soon, too. Mrs. Jiang Fengshi said.
"Mother, you are telling lies, how long have they only been on the mountain? And to lift something so heavy. It's not a good road. I'm afraid they're still resting halfway at this time. Jiang Qingsheng said.
Jiang Fengshi's mother-in-law glanced at her son, but she was not annoyed, seeing that her son was so smart, she was happy in her heart.
"Celebrate your birthday, go, go to the mountains with Uncle Man." Jiangbe said.
Jiang Qingsheng jumped all the way, but he didn't walk slowly, and Jiangbian followed Jiang Qingsheng closely.
Along the way, the roadside was littered with firewood and grass, all of which had just been cut down.
Jiang Qingsheng really didn't tell a lie, and it didn't take long for the two of them to catch up with the group carrying the monument.
They were indeed resting on the road as Jiang Qingsheng said.
"It's fucking heavy, and it's too porcelain. Old Five, it's your turn to go. You bastard, why didn't you think about how to get it when you prepared the stele? Said a stout man sitting on the side smoking a cigarette.
"I haven't thought about it, but it's not that there is nothing heavier than this stone tablet in this tomb. To do things for others, you have to do porcelain real. Jiang Fengshi took out a pack of cigarettes with a more exquisite package from his pocket. Actually, it's not a good cigarette, but it's a pack of 10 yuan. …,
Jiang Fengshi was very shrewd, the whole package of cigarettes was five yuan, and he bought a few packs of ten yuan, and when he was resting, he distributed them to these stele bearers.
"Okay, you Jiang Lao Wu, your mother has even learned to engage in privileges. We have a pack of five dollars per person, and you fucking smoke ten dollars. "Someone scooped cigarettes and teased Jiang Fengshi.
"Damn, have I smoked one behind your back?" Jiang Feng was really anxious.
"Hey, look, isn't the one who came up the mountain by the river?" Someone suddenly noticed that someone had come up from the bottom of the mountain.
"You don't have oil in your eyes, do you? Jiangbian doesn't know where to be chic at this time? During the Chinese New Year, how good was the mother-in-law who brought back? Liu Huijun divorced him for him, and now I am afraid that he will be miserable. "People don't believe it.
"Your mother's own opinion, isn't that little kid a rabbit cub of the old fifth family? Who is the one in front of you who is not the riverside? ”
Jiang Bian and Jiang Qingsheng walked very fast, slowly approaching the place where the group of people rested.
"Huh? It's really a riverside. ”
"Thank you all for your efforts. Start by smoking a cigarette. "Jiangbian said he was smoking a cigarette, but he gave everyone a pack of cigarettes.
"Everyone pumped hard, and when they went back, each of them scooped one back. I brought quite a few back this time. Kawabe said.
"Isn't this a cheap cigarette? I used to go to an old cousin's house in southern Sichuan, and I smoked this brand of cigarettes, and the cigarette packaging was not so good. I heard that it costs a few hundred yuan a piece, and this cigarette must be more expensive. "There are also people in the mid-mountain village who have seen the world.
Jiang Fengshi hurriedly said, "Is Jiangbian a little too expensive?" If all this is calculated, the cigarette money alone will cost thousands of dollars. ”
Jiang Bian said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, I didn't spend any money on this cigarette." Everyone's points, nothing. ”
Jiang Fengshi relieved his heart at this time, "That's pretty much the same." ”
The riverside is so willing, and the people who help also come to the spirit.
"Let's go, take it early, carry the stele to the position, the fifth lady should have prepared lunch. We delivered the stuff and went back for a good drink. ”
"Yes, yes
, brothers, what's this work? In the past, when we were engaged in transportation in the city, a machine of several thousand catties was stunned for more than a dozen migrant workers. That's less than a ton. What a! ”
Jiang Laosi had been cleaning the road in front, and at this time he finished cleaning it up and walked back.
"Fourth brother, thank you for your hard work." Jiangbe said, scooping up a pack of cigarettes and throwing it over.
Jiang Laosi took the cigarette in his hand with both hands and looked at it, "Well, good smoke!" ”
Jiangbian threw another bag over and cleared the road with Jiang Laosi.
