It is said that in the countryside ten years ago, there was no need to pay for such a job, everyone was an idler, as long as they took care of food and cigarettes, and it was very generous to be able to manage a meal. Because there were many idlers in the countryside at that time, everyone was idle, and no one took labor seriously.

But now it doesn't work, they all pay according to the market price, and the less is thirty yuan a day, and the more is forty or fifty, and tobacco and alcohol are necessary. Such a large group of people gathered at the village chief's house, and there were three tables, and four or five women were specially invited to help cook. In addition, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, melon, fruit and snacks are also bought in the town, and just buying snacks for the children in the village has collected the inventory of the small supermarket in the town.

Xie Bin looked at the lively crowd, sighed slightly in his heart, and secretly thought, when the old man was buried ten years ago, it was cold and deserted, only the people in the village saw Xie Bin pitiful, and gathered a few laborers to help Xie Bin bury the old man hastily, not to mention inviting people to eat and drink like today, not even a cup of hot tea.

Although Xie Bin was sensible at that time, after all, he was only seventeen years old, and he had lost his only relative, so he didn't know what to do. Now Xie Bin also has a mind to repay the kindness of the year. Taking this opportunity, Xie Bin simply invited the whole village over, regardless of men, women and children, all of them had some gifts, although they were just snacks, toys, cigarettes and alcohol, but it was enough to make everyone very happy.

These villagers may not be lacking such a little thing, but this free gift is always good, and they all feel that the kindness to Xie Bin was not in vain. Rural people don't say anything about showing kindness and not trying to repay it, they just think, I am good to you, you must also be good to me, I helped you, and you will have to help you back in the future. Otherwise, the reputation of the white-eyed wolf will spread, and if you want to find someone to help in the village in the future, it depends on whether the person is in a good mood or not.

While everyone was busy, Xie Bin went up the mountain again. In front of the renovated clothed mound, Xie Bin sat on the ground, took out a bottle of Moutai wine, took out a small cup, poured it full, gently sprinkled it in front of the offering table, and collapsed: "Alas, old man, I don't know if you will adapt to life there when you arrive in the capital, hehe, but I should be very satisfied to meet your big family." ”

Saying that, Xie Bin poured another glass, this time he drank it all, smacked his lips and said: "Old man, no wonder you can't forget this wine, it's really good wine, today we will conspire to get drunk, but unfortunately I didn't fulfill the promise I made when I came back last time, and I couldn't bring you a granddaughter-in-law back to see," he said and spilled another glass, "I came to see a girl, and I didn't have any character and appearance, but my family background is extraordinary, but it's a pity that my parents look down on me, an orphan who has no parents, hehe, old man, where do you say my parents are?" ”

"Old man, the few gadgets you left behind were damaged by me, and I regret it when I think about it, I know you don't care, but I feel uncomfortable."

"The Fang Cheng mud inkstone that was originally left for you was returned by Grandma Yu, so I kept it, it can be regarded as a souvenir, it was the last object you used around me."

"Your grandson is rich now, but I am even more confused, I used to think about making money every day when I had no money, but now I have money, but I don't know what to do."

"But your grandson and I are poor, I can't spend any money, hehe, I want to make people laugh to death when I say it, well, so much money, if it was put in the past, it would be enough for our grandfather to spend several lifetimes."

"Old man, I'm leaving, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back to see you again, but don't worry, I'll ask my Uncle Huzi to send you two bottles of good wine from time to time."

"Next time I come back, I will definitely bring my daughter-in-law to see you, hehe, I will make sure you are satisfied......"

Xie Bin sat in front of the grave, muttering to himself, You drank a bottle of Moutai one by one, and then patted his ass and stood up. Looking at the old man's brand-new tomb, Xie Bin let out a long breath, as if he was pouring out all the depression in his heart. Turning his head to look, the undulating mountain beams with a hint of breeze blowing in his face, which made Xie Bin's whole heart open up all of a sudden.

Standing here, thinking back on his life for so many years, Xie Bin felt that he should live a more exciting life, at least not to live up to that magical ability.

After standing for a long time, Xie Bin returned to the village chief Huzi's house in a leisurely manner. Most of the people in the village have dispersed, and only Aunt Huzi and a few women are cleaning up the leftovers. There were also a few children of four or five years old who were playing and frolicking, and saw Xie Bin come in. Giggled and scattered.

These children didn't know Xie Bin, but they knew that this uncle had sent them a lot of snacks and toys, although they were very excited, but after all, they still felt a little strange.

"Xiao Xie, went to the old man's grave again?" Aunt Huzi saw Xie Bin and asked with a smile.

Xie Bin nodded, "What about Uncle Huzi?" ”

"In the house, I drank too much, this man really can't see wine, and he drinks it to death, as if he has never drunk it," Aunt Huzi said with a resentful face.

A woman next to her spoke, "Haven't you ever drunk it, how many people in our village have drunk such good wine?" It's already good to be able to drink thirty or fifty for the New Year's holiday, but this time with Xiao Xie's light, there are such good cigarettes and wine, it's no wonder they don't drink hard. ”

Xie Bin waved his hand, "What is there that is not stained, if you want to say that the staining is still the light of our grandfather, Aunt Qiulin, you didn't help me less when I was a child." "This is the truth, Xie Bin is really helped by the people in the village, and this Aunt Qiulin in front of him is one of them.

After another night in the village, Xie Bin left the village where he had lived for seventeen or eighteen years. However, he didn't say goodbye to the others, just had a drink with the village chief's family, and then left. Looking back at this verdant mountain village, Xie Bin felt a sense of relief, as if he had thrown away some shackles and felt less worried. There is nothing else here to make him nostalgic except for one of the old man's well-dressed mounds.

The people in the village are enthusiastic, but after all, they are not their own relatives, and they do not have their own home here. The house he used to live in was also demolished a few years ago, and a two-story building was built on the original site to serve as the village committee office. The traces of Xie Bin's life here are estimated to be the pile of tombs and the bluestone tablet.

After returning to the island city, Xie Bin first received a call from Liu Wenqing, then a call from Li Jingjing, and Xiao Wang Zi also left a message for Xie Bin.

Liu Wenqing has good news for Xie Bin, this girl was admitted to Capital University, and she was very happy, saying that she invited Xie Bin to her house for dinner.

This is indeed something to celebrate. Xie Bin's biggest regret in his life is that he couldn't go to college, so when he sees others go to college, he still feels a little envious, especially Capital University, which is the holy place in Xie Bin's mind, because the old man graduated from Capital University. The old man once told Xie Bin that he must be admitted to Capital University.

It's just that the world makes people, Xie Bin didn't even take the college entrance examination at all, let alone Capital University. At that time, Xie Bin's mood was really bad, there was no penny at home, Xie Bin was like a little beggar, eating was a problem, where would he be in the mood to think about what college or not.

Thinking about the difficult life at the beginning, and then looking at Liu Wenqing now, Xie Bin feels that this is really the difference between heaven and earth, no matter what the children say now, as long as they can't even afford living expenses, they can afford to go to college. If you want, you can also take out a loan or apply for a special hardship student relief fund or something. At that time, Xie Bin, these things were just a concept. It is said that in the past ten years, the development of society has indeed been very rapid, and unconsciously, Xie Bin even feels that he is a little outdated.

Liu Wenqing's family is indeed very grateful to Xie Bin, in the past, Liu Wenqing's family was still Xie Bin's landlord, anyway, in the face of Xie Bin, a poor baby who didn't even have a home, the family still had a faint sense of superiority. And now it was pure gratitude, and they couldn't imagine what their lives would be like without Xie Bin.

Indeed, in the face of the powerful and powerful big guys of the Kamikaze Group, these ordinary families are really vulnerable, if it weren't for Xie Bin and Xue Yuying, how could Liu Wenqing's family's affairs be handled so smoothly and perfectly? And now, Liu Wenqing's family is even a blessing in disguise, but they don't need to worry about the demolition anymore.

Now Liu Wenqing's family still lives in a rented house, a second house, simple decoration, but the monthly rent is not low, 2,000 yuan a month.

Looking at the furniture in the house, Xie Bin asked, "Sister Liu, why, haven't you bought a house yet?" "It is said that Liu Wenqing's family received compensation, which should be enough for them to buy two or even three new houses.

"I bought it, but it hasn't been renovated yet, and it will be okay after a while, and besides, I paid three months' rent here, so I'm not in a hurry to move," Liu Wenqing's mother explained with a smile.

Looking at Liu Wenqing's mother hurriedly stir-frying, Xie Bin smiled, "Sister Liu, I'll help you get started," it is said that Xie Bin knows this eldest sister's craftsmanship very well, although it can't be said to be bad, but it's not much better, it can only be regarded as ordinary.

However, this one didn't appreciate it, and smiled at Xie Bin: "Don't, you and Wenwen and his father drink first, the dishes will be ready immediately, and besides, there is a reason to let the guests cook?" ”

Liu Wenqing slipped out of the bedroom, pulled Xie Bin and said, "Brother Xie, let's go, go to my bedroom and have a look." ”

Xie Bin saw that Sister Liu refused, so he didn't insist anymore, and ran to her bedroom with Liu Wenqing. The feeling of this building is indeed better than that of the bungalow, especially the cleaner. Liu Wenqing's small bedroom was pasted by herself, in addition to the star posters, there were also some pendants such as small dolls, in addition to the gadgets that Xie Bin gave her.

Most of the small items that Xie Bin gave to Liu Wenqing were relatively simple, and some were made of leftovers. But most of them have been smashed into potholes, and some are even deformed, and I don't know how this girl was dug out of the rubble.

Looking at the tattered wood carvings full of cardboard boxes, Xie Bin's heart warmed, he really didn't expect that these things of his own had such a heavy position in this girl's heart, and they were worth her spending so much effort to collect. These things, not to mention damaged, are in good condition, and Xie Bin may also disdain to collect them, let alone spend so much effort to collect them.

Liu Wenqing saw that Xie Bin was looking at the objects she collected, and with a little blushing, she stuffed the cardboard box under the bed, and said coquettishly: "Brother Xie, what are you doing looking at those, show you this." ”

Xie Bin looked at the mysterious look of this delicate girl, and his heart was shocked, what is it? This girl can't let herself see something intimate, right? This one......

was hesitating, but saw Liu Wenqing take out a large envelope from the drawer, but it was an admission letter. Xie Bin was secretly ashamed in his heart, thinking that he was too dirty, and he actually thought crookedly 108,000 miles away. With a dry cough, Xie Bin took the admission notice of Capital University with an envious face, looked at Liu Wenqing's name and bright red seal on it, and was very envious in his heart, and praised in his mouth: "Wenwen is still amazing, she was admitted to Capital University, this, why don't you let me go up for you." ”
