Chapter 44: The Old Man Who Worries About His Granddaughter
"Lalala, I'm a little expert in selling newspapers..."
The crisp and childlike song blows to the ears of those who work in the fields by the roadside with the breeze.
"What's the fun in the early morning?" Dongzi looked up at Qingli who was riding away, beat his waist, stood up straight, took out a pack of cigarettes, and took out one and lit it.
"Are you crying if you are not happy? Throw it over. Picked up the cigarette thrown by Dongzi and lit it, took a deep breath, and squinted his eyes peacefully and comfortably.
Patting the mud sticking to his trouser legs, Zhenqing walked to the edge of the ridge, sat down, looked at the two people who swallowed the clouds and spitted fog, and smiled innocently, "You say, how do I raise loaches?" ”
Ahem~
The two people who were choked by Zhenqing's words glanced at each other in unison, turned their heads to look at the smiling person on the ridge, and blinked suspiciously, it was still that person.
Ping An threw away the cigarette, walked over, put his hand on his forehead, and looked at Dongzi, "No fever!" No matter how you listen to that tone, it feels like it smells of regret.
slapped the hand off his forehead, Zhenqing slapped Ping'an with a fist, and said angrily, "You just have a fever, and the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." ”
Ping'an, grinning and rubbing his back, sat next to him, bumped him with his shoulder, and asked with curiosity, "What's wrong?" How did you think of raising loaches? Don't you see Lili making money, you are moved? ”
Scratching his head irritably, Zhenqing looked at the two of them with a bitter face, and lowered his head in frustration, "When Lili was selling things that day, Zhenying went to see it." scolded me at night, saying that I was useless, I didn't know how to find money, and my daughter suffered a big crime, I don't understand, Yumei worked hard in the factory, what crime did she suffer. ”
After listening to Zhenqing's words, Dongzi and Ping'an didn't know what to say.
Yumei was a junior in G Province and beat a child, during this time, almost everyone in the village knew about it, and everyone hid it from Zhenqing, but I really didn't know what this honest man would do if he knew.
Clearing his throat, Dongzi patted Zhenqing on the shoulder, and said with comfort, "Uncle, what do you care about my aunt, she is not satisfied, do you want to live the day when you listen to her?" ”
For Zhenqing and his wife Du Zhenying, most of the people in the village have no good impression, greedy for vanity, unpleasant, always disgusted that her man will not make money, he doesn't care about anything at home, and he runs to Yang Village to play cards after breakfast every day, and he returns home after dark.
Rubbing his face, Zhenqing stretched, looked at the worried eyes of the two, and said with a smile, "I know who she is, and I don't care." It was my own idea to raise loaches, and as you know, I have nothing but strength, my brain is not flexible, and I can't speak. I just don't think it's a brainstorm to raise loaches, what do you think? ”
"I don't think it's good, you have to have a place to raise loaches, is the river in the village unreliable, dig a pond like glass glass? How much does it cost? There are also seedlings, disinfection or something, can you do it well? The most important thing is that you mention it to your aunt, and she will say that you will not look for money, but will only take money out. Dongzi pursed his lips and hit Zhenqing mercilessly.
"I think what Dongzi said makes sense, we can't watch Lili make money, we just want to go the same way as her, these things used to be everywhere, who knows how valuable it is? If you really want to make money, go to the wasteland when you have time, and wait for the strawberries in Jianshe and Zhen'an to be sold, we will also plant them, Lili said that the price of strawberries is very high, and it is better than you raising loaches. Patting Zhenqing's back vigorously, Ping An thought of the strawberries planted by Jianshe and Zhen'an, and his heart was hot and envious.
Listening to Ping'an's words, Zhenqing nodded, remembering that the strawberries planted by his younger brother Zhen'an grew quite well and bloomed, but Zhenqing still had doubts about whether the strawberries could not be sold, after all, he didn't see the money, and he saw the big boss in the city buy the loaches.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ping An and asked, "Do you really think strawberries can make money?" ”
lit a cigarette, looked at Zhenqing Ping'an, with a smile on his face, "I don't know, but Wenwen said that strawberries are very expensive in Province G, and Lili also said that no one in our city has grown strawberries yet, and the strawberries sold in the city are all shipped from other places, do you think about the things that are available at your doorstep, are you willing to buy them elsewhere?" Anyway, I'm going to plant it, and Wenwen supports me. ”
"Dongzi, do you plant?" After listening to Ping'an's words, Zhenqing felt that it made sense, and turned his head to look at Dongzi, who was squatting on the side and smoking a cigarette, and asked.
Hearing Zhenqing's words, Dongzi was stunned, took a puff of cigarette and plucked the withered grass on the ridge and said, "Hey, I don't plant, my family is alone, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, planting that thing is time-consuming and troublesome, I just want to go out with a driver's license and buy a van to run, comfortable." ”
"With you, do we need money to buy a good car?"
"How can I be, I'm such a conscienceless person? It's not the old and young masters in the village, how can I have my Dongzi today, I remember everyone's love! Facing the two, Dongzi smiled with a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Alright, let's get to work!"
Clapping their hands, several people returned to the fields and got busy.
Knock knock~
The crisp and orderly sound kept sounding on the cutting board, and the minced meat was packed in a bowl, and Qingli took out the chicken that he had killed in the morning and began to clean.
"Why did you think of eating chicken today?" Grandpa, who slipped into the kitchen with his hands behind his back, looked at Qingli washing the chickens and thought it was strange.
"This, I'm going to be a guest today, I heard that my health is not good, make a tonic soup for the old man to drink, grandpa will drink more later, it's good for the body." Picking up the hair that fell from her ears, Qingli picked up scissors and cut off the nails on the chicken's paws.
dragged a chair over to sit, the old man looked at his granddaughter who was circling around the stove, smiled with satisfaction, and remembered that his granddaughter was 20 years old, and he didn't even have an object, the old man was worried!
Looking at her busy granddaughter, after thinking about it, I decided to ask her what she liked, so that someone nearby could introduce her to one when the time came.
"Well, Lili, what are you going to do in the future?"
"What are you going to do? Is Grandpa worried that I won't care about you? Don't worry, I will give my grandfather a pension. Holding a kitchen knife to chop the chicken open, Qingli's voice was very firm.
"Who is worried about this, I want to ask what kind of boy you like, I will ask someone to introduce you to one, suitable for first, and then get married." Putting the sorted chicken in the casserole, Qingli's hand, which was just about to be picked up, slipped on the stove, and he was caught off guard by what his grandfather asked.
Who wants to fall in love, be in trouble and get married? Spare her, how comfortable she is to be alone, why do you have to find someone to take care of the east and west, but this idea can't be known to grandpa.
Put the casserole on the stove, pull out the seal of the stove, and Qingli took a fan while fanning the fire while answering Grandpa's question just now.
"Grandpa, I'm still young, I'm just 19 this year, I'm 20 years old, and it's not too late to get married at 30 years old, what are you anxious about?"
"How can I not be in a hurry, there are partners in the village who are as big as you, and some of them have given birth to babies, you think you are still young, and you won't be able to marry after 20." Grandpa glared at Qingli angrily, and seemed to be angry by her words.
Qingli, who was startled by his grandfather's roar, saw his face change, hurriedly ran over and patted him on the back, and coaxed softly, "Okay, don't be angry, I will definitely find a boyfriend to bring back to you as soon as possible, and let him be a son-in-law when the time comes, I will accompany you every day, don't annoy me at that time!" ”
Boyfriend? Grandpa said light, where to find a boyfriend? You can't just pull one on the street! Then people will be crazy and mentally problematic.
With a sneer, the old man looked at Qing Lile who was a scoundrel with a hippie smile, slapped off her hand and stood up and walked out of the kitchen slowly, "Door-to-door son-in-law, you think of beauty, which good son is willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law?" You're just me, what should I do if I see you become an old girl? ”
After making sure that Grandpa had really left, Qingli stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice, "The old girl is the old girl, I'll be comfortable!" Hehe, it's more important to think about what to eat! ”
