Chapter 7: Yu Mingyue's Conspiracy
The uncle and nephew stood on the ridge of the ground, until they saw Yu Mingyan turn around and wave his hand after arriving at the door of the house, Yu Mingyue curled the corners of his mouth, and Kong Xinggang breathed a sigh of relief.
Kong Xinggang bent down and picked up the moon mother grass that was tied into a large bundle by the grass rope, he turned the weight on his hand and pouted, and said to Yu Mingyue next to him: "Xiao Yue, you just take the basket, these moon mother grass looked a lot just now, but now it is not much at all." After speaking, he bent down and lifted the small plastic bucket containing five small crucian carp and more than 20 loaches.
In fact, how can this originally more than a dozen catties of moon mother grass become less? It's just that when Yu Mingyue put it away, he unknowingly put a small half into the space.
Yu Mingyue secretly laughed at her uncle's rough nerves in her heart, and after responding crisply, she obediently picked up a handful of baskets weighing only one or two pounds, and chased after Kong Xinggang, who had already started.
"Go home~~"
Yu Mingyue, who was happy in her heart, chased after her uncle, and walked all the way west along the big water ditch to the side of the newly paved asphalt road; Cross the road, follow the shade under the Da'an trees on the ridge outside the road, and laugh all the way west, planning what to do with the loot you caught.
In just ten minutes, I saw a lonely family within 100 meters of the asphalt road. The corners of Yu Mingyue's small mouth, which was already a little naturally upturned, were even more upturned, this is her warm home.
At this time, Yu Mingyue's grandmother Kong Mingying had already cooked breakfast. When she saw that her granddaughter, who had gone out early in the morning, and the three adults who had gone down to the ground, had not yet returned, she went out into the courtyard to look at the sun. Seeing that it was already eleven or twelve o'clock, she was a little worried and a little angry.
Kong Mingying was pulling a face, and when she was muttering to herself in her heart with displeasure, she heard Yu Mingyue's chuckle outside the gate. The corners of her tense wrinkled mouth twitched and then tilted up, her older eyes were more crooked, and her face instantly turned from gloomy to star, and she walked briskly towards the south gate.
Yu Mingyue pushed open the door that had been latched by her brother-in-law, and when she stepped in, she saw her grandmother who greeted her with a smile on her face. Yu Mingyue's little face instantly showed a bright sweet smile, and she shouted crisply: "Grandma, I'm back." ”
Quickly rushed up and pulled Kong Mingying's hand, pointed to Kong Xinggang, who also entered the door behind him, and said, "Grandma, look, my brother-in-law caught a lot of fish and loaches, can you cook fish soup and fry loaches for us?" When Yu Mingyue shook her grandmother's hand as she spoke, she also kept observing her grandmother's expression.
Kong Xinggang often came to his aunt's house to play, and when he entered the door and grinned, he called someone, and peeked at Kong Mingying's expression.
Kong Mingying laughed, looked down at the small bucket that Kong Xinggang held up in front of her, and saw that this could at least fry a large bowl of loaches, the smile on her face was even more kind, and she reached out to take the moon mother grass that Kong Xinggang was holding, and said, "Yo, Xiaogang is getting more and more capable, come into the house and sit down." As he spoke, he led the way to the courtyard.
Yu Mingyue smiled secretly in her heart, and put the dustpan in the farm tool shed behind the gate, and then pulled Kong Xinggang, who agreed crisply and closed the door, to follow.
Kong Mingying said with a smile as she walked: "Your eldest sister hasn't come back yet, you will eat here in a while, and I will fry the loaches for you now." When he finished speaking, he just walked to the firewood stack in the center of the courtyard, and put the moongrass on it, and then turned around.
At this time, Yu Mingyue looked at her brother-in-law with a brisk smile on her face, and was talking to her grandmother about helping, and the look on her grandmother's face was a little happier than just now, which made her laugh in her heart again.
When Yu Mingyue was in her previous life, before she was six years old, except for her grandmother Kong Mingying's daily scolding, she had no other impression of this grandmother. And when she was 6 years old and could remember, her grandmother Kong Mingying had already passed away due to illness.
In Yu Mingyue's growth process after the age of 6, whether it was the eldest grandfather Yu Tianxiang's family, or the grandfather Kong Mingfu's family after the age of 9, no elder said anything about her grandmother. The two families have educated Yu Mingyue very well, and they have never left a trace of hatred seeds in her heart.
This time, Yu Mingyue was reborn, and it was the real understanding of what kind of character the family members who only knew the appearance of a black and white photo.
After five years of getting along, Yu Mingyue is already completely clear that her grandmother's personality is simply poured out of the same mold as her brother-in-law Kong Xinggang, and her shortcomings are calculating, stingy, unbearable, domineering, plus a bit of unstable eccentricity.
Yu Mingyue was very surprised at the beginning of this matter, because Kong Mingying and Kong Xinggang were obviously just cousins and nephews.
But for a few years, I have been watching this battle of wits and courage between the young and the old, and the two of them have communicated with each other, and after she invisibly mediated the more and more tacit understanding, Yu Mingyue occasionally sighed that this genetic leap was too big, and every time she regarded the encounter between these two people as the spice of life.
Therefore, at this time, Yu Mingyue can be so old and snickering.
At some time, on the kitchen side, the two aunts and nephews were working together to add vegetables for noon; On the side of the yard, Yu Mingyue was tiptoeing in front of the firewood stack, dragging down the moon mother grass and drying it directly in the mud yard, and it was obviously getting more and more dry.
In the field more than a kilometer away from Yu Mingyue's house, Yu Tianzhou Zheng collected the hoe and called his son Yu Zhiqing and daughter-in-law Kong Xiaoyu to call it a day and go home for breakfast.
Yu Zhiqing hoeed the grass between a row of green bamboo shoots that was only half a foot high, and when he turned around to help his wife hoe the weed, after seeing his wife's urging eyes again, he looked sideways at the eggplant that was being sold in the next field, and the big green pepper that could be sold in the next field, his slightly small lips pursed lightly and wrinkled his thick eyebrows slightly.
Yu Zhiqing turned his head to look at Yu Tian, who was on the edge of the ridge and smoked dry cigarettes, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then walked over with a hoe, and asked: "Dad, the vegetable price given by the vegetable station this year is getting lower and lower, and our family's best first-class eggplant can only be sold for 1 dime a catty, and the green pepper can only be sold for a dime, two or three." It's not labor, but I'm afraid that I can't even sell seeds, fertilizers and medicine money. After speaking, he stood next to him and looked at Yu Tianzhou's expression.
Kong Xiaoyu heard her husband finally mention the words, and hurriedly looked at her father-in-law, but saw that her father-in-law was just looking at the direction of the two vegetable fields below and was stunned, while Yu Zhiqing just stood next to her and didn't open her mouth, her somewhat thin lips pursed, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
Kong Xiaoyu was a little disappointed, and lowered her head while hoeing the grass and remembered what was on her mind: There are two old people in charge of this family, whether it is arranging work or family money, it is the two old people who are in charge. If you want to have two dollars in your hands, you have to sell vegetables according to your own ideas and become a vegetable seller.
In other words, Kong Xiaoyu, a rural woman with a primary school culture and who has only been to a small town in the district more than 20 miles away four times, has such an idea, and it has to start from more than two months ago.
More than two months ago, Kong Xiaoyu took her daughter Yu Mingyue to marry her second sister Kong Xiaoqiong's house on the outskirts of the district to deliver moon rice wine. As a result, early the next morning, Yu Mingyue couldn't afford it, so she spent a dime to take a shuttle bus and went to Renyi District, which was a few miles away from Kong Xiaoqiong's house, and went into the city to catch a market.
Kong Xiaoyu has been to the district a total of four times since he was born. The first time was when I got married in 1979 and went to buy a bicycle and a sewing machine; the second time, he was hospitalized by a lightning strike; The third time was in 1985, when my father-in-law was seriously ill and hospitalized; The fourth time, this time.
Kong Xiaoyu had entered the city three times before, but she didn't dare to wander around, and it had been a few years, so this time because she was unfamiliar with the land, she entered the bustling district and city, and she didn't walk a hundred meters after leaving the bus stop, and she couldn't tell the direction clearly.
As a result, Kong Xiaoyu was deliberately "wandering" for a while by Yu Mingyue, a "modern land snake", and strolled into a lively street.
On the street, the people who came and went early in the morning basically carried baskets to buy vegetables, but the only people who sold vegetables were a few bicycles with a basket or a basket of vegetables, a few vegetable stalls on the ground, a meat stall with a table, and a few fish stalls with large pots and buckets.
When Yu Mingyue saw that business, she sighed in her heart, "It's so good." In front of some vegetable stalls, people who buy vegetables are vying to line up, which is more exaggerated than entering a big supermarket during the modern Chinese New Year.
It wasn't until here that Kong Xiaoyu really knew how open and prosperous the city had become in a few years.
Yu Mingyue also took the opportunity to ask the aunt who bought vegetables about the price of vegetables and other markets when Kong Xiaoyu was not paying attention, and Kong Xiaoyu, who "coincidentally" was hurriedly caught up to stop him, listened.
As a vegetable grower in the vegetable team, Kong Xiaoyu really wants to understand the current vegetable market, and she is also bold, and she saw that the few people in the city who were "harassed" by her daughter just now were very kind, so she directly inquired with a few city aunts who carried vegetable baskets and had a kind face.
As a result, she couldn't hold her breath when she inquired.
Kong Xiaoyu didn't expect that in this city, he only sold 1 jiao and 1 pound of vegetables to the vegetable purchasing station, and when he got here, he would have to pay 2 jiao and 5 cents a catty; Sold to the vegetable station more than 1 corner, here is 3 corners.
Let's not talk about the high cost of growing vegetables and the hard work of several months of wind and sun, and it only takes one day to sell vegetables. It was those who sold vegetables, and on the leafy vegetables, they even "drenched" a lot of water, which made Kong Xiaoyu shocked for a while.
Kong Xiaoyu was shocked at the time: It is only a little more than 20 kilometers from her home to this district, if she rents the useless tractor in the village every day and pulls a cart of hundreds or thousands of catties of vegetables to sell, wouldn't she have to earn dozens or hundreds of yuan a day?
That day, Kong Xiaoyu didn't know how she got back to the station, and when she woke up from her fantasy, she was already back at the district bus station.
Sitting on the long-distance bus on the way back, I heard my daughter ask "ignorantly", "Those who buy vegetables and sell them every day, can they have the money to sell meat every day?" When Kong Xiaoyu was sad, her heart couldn't be calm.
Isn't it? Even if you only sell a few hundred catties of vegetables every day, excluding the cost of oil and freight, you still have to earn dozens of dollars, and you can't have meat to eat every day.
Since then, she has been thinking about this matter in her heart, until after thinking about it for a few days, she told her husband Yu Zhiqing the idea in her heart. But Yu Zhiqing didn't agree at the time, saying that that kind of speculative thing has no future, and it is better to farm well.
Kong Xiaoyu also knew her husband Yu Zhiqing's difficulties, and there had always been problems with the family, so she didn't mention it more. Thinking that the husband and wife are more diligent, they paid off the huge debt owed by their father-in-law when he was seriously ill and hospitalized two years ago, and they can slowly live a good life in the future and raise their only daughter, Yu Mingyue.
But until, after Kong Xiaoyu found out that she was "unexpectedly" pregnant, she mentioned this matter again that night.
And Yu Zhiqing, this time, was also relieved, in order to give the two children a better life in the future, he was ready to touch the "reverse scales" of the two old people.
At this time, the husband and wife, who were very embarrassed and entangled, did not know that they were falling for the "conspiracy" of their daughter Yu Mingyue.
