223. Television
Murong Kuo came back from the Gu family, and the rest of the Li family hadn't returned home yet, so Murong Kuo changed his steps and walked towards the vegetable base.
The weather is getting hotter, and people's appetite is slowly decreasing, so the Li family's recipes for three meals a day are inseparable from cold dishes.
Everyone in the family was busy, so Lin Zichen took the initiative to take care of all the housework.
At this time, he was carrying a pot of millet to feed the chickens in the open space behind the new house.
This is Lin Zichen's suggestion, saying that it is not good to set up the chicken coop in the front yard, so that the yard is full of chicken feather feces, it is better to set the chicken coop in the back mountain, and let the chickens go to the mountain to find insects to eat during the day, and feed some millet at night.
The pigsty was still in the backyard of the old house, and after Lin Zichen finished feeding the chickens, he walked to the pigsty with pig food.
In the past, there would be a few pigs at home, but now there are many things, and only one pig is raised, so they keep it at home for the New Year to be slaughtered.
"Toot toot, toot toot." Lin Zichen took a stick to lure the pig to the other end, and then poured the pig food into the trough.
Look at the piglet you just caught
Eating happily, Lin Zichen also felt that he was in a very good mood.
When I returned to the new house, I saw that the yard was crowded with children.
Lin Zichen smiled, touched the head of one of the children, and asked, "Do you have something to do with coming to our house?" ”
The child held his head high, took Lin Zichen's hand and said, "Sister Xiaochen, my grandma said that you have a TV at home, which is the kind of box where you can see many people, is it true?" ”
Lin Zichen nodded, and the children immediately chattered and discussed.
"I have a classmate who has a TV at home, and every time she goes to school, she shows us what cartoons she watched." The other children also followed. Tell all the classmates in the class who have TVs at home.
The Li family's TV was brought by Murong Kuo, and at first Murong Kuo said that he wanted to buy a new one, but Li Ge said that the new one was too eye-catching. So Murong Kuo brought his own TV that had been used for several years, and he bought a new one himself.
Fenghe Zhuang people have no entertainment activities, and the children who have entered the summer vacation have never seen a TV except for going to the fields to play, and they all want to come to see and see when they learn that the Li family has a TV.
Lin Zichen looked at it, almost all the children in the village were here. "You wait, Sister Xiao Chen promises to let you see good-looking cartoons."
"yes, Sister Xiaochen is so good." The children cheered.
Lin Zichen smiled at the corner of his mouth. touched the children's heads and shouted into the house: "Fourth brother, Xiaoxi, you come out." ”
Li Ji and Lin Zixi heard this. Hurried out of the house.
"What's wrong again?" Li Ji muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Sister. What's up? Lin Zixi looked calm.
Lin Zichen directly ignored Li Ji's dissatisfaction and commanded: "You two move the TV to the yard, everyone wants to watch cartoons." ”
Li Ji looked at the courtyard and looked at his child with straight eyes, and nodded helplessly, "Got it." ”
Li Ji and Lin Zixi moved the table out, and then worked together to move the TV out.
The TV is cable TV, and the antenna has to be reinstalled after moving out.
After getting this qiē, Lin Zichen turned on the TV and turned it to the children's channel, and the children immediately watched it attentively.
Soon. The familiar theme song of "Gourd Baby" came from the TV, and the children sang along.
Li Ji frowned. Turned around and went back to the house. Lin Zixi smiled lightly and went back to the house.
"You guys obediently watch TV here, and when you're done, hurry home to eat, and obediently do your summer vacation homework, otherwise I won't let you watch cartoons tomorrow, you know?" Lin Zichen threatened slightly.
"Got it." The children echoed in unison, completely captivated by the TV.
Lin Zichen smiled silently, put the bucket of pig food away, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When Murong Kuo, Li Bangguo and others returned home, they saw a group of children in the courtyard staring at the TV.
Li Bangguo smiled dumbly, turned back to Li Yuedi and said, "It seems that the family will be lively in the future." ”
Li Yuedi responded with a smile: "It's good to be lively, it's good to be lively!" ”
Lin Zichen in the kitchen heard the sound and came out, and the gourd baby had just finished broadcasting, "The cartoon has been watched, should you go back to eat?" ”
The children reluctantly withdrew their eyes from the TV, and under the gaze of Lin Zichen and Yan Yanyan, they had to lower their heads and go home obediently.
Lin Zichen looked dejected, and said with a smile: "Come back and watch the TV series after eating, remember to bring a stool." ”
When the children heard this, they immediately cheered, "Wow, that's great! ”
The children dispersed, and the courtyard of the Li family became spacious.
"Move the TV to the yard, who came up with this idea, it's so wonderful, everyone in the village can watch TV." Li Weimao said with a smile.
Li Weiye also smiled and moved a stool to sit in front of the TV to watch the news broadcast, "Needless to say, I know that it was Xiao Chen's idea." ”
The others nodded in agreement.
Lin Zichen smiled and asked, "The meal is ready, do you want to bring it to the yard to eat, or eat it in the house?" ”
"Come to the yard, lively." Li Bangguo chuckled.
"Got it." Lin Zichen turned around and began to instruct Li Ji and Lin Zixi to move another table outside.
Liang Xiaomei and others helped bring the food to the table in the courtyard, and the family sat or stood and enjoyed a delicious dinner.
At this moment when the Li family was eating, many people in the village came to the Li family with benches.
The wide courtyard slowly became lively, and there were people standing everywhere.
Many people still have rice bowls in their hands, smelling the fragrance of the food wafting from the Li family's dinner table, and they can't help but come forward to ask for a few mouthfuls of food.
Lin Zichen made a lot of food, and Li Yuedi and others also took the initiative to invite the villagers to come over and try their own dishes.
But no matter how much the amount of food is, it can't stand the crowd, and seeing that the plates are full of bottoms, many neighbors are embarrassed, and when they go home to serve dinner, they also bring their own good dishes to share together.
Immediately, the Li family's dinner table was full of dishes from various families, and everyone commented on their mother-in-law's craftsmanship while eating. Watching the wonderful TV series, this scene is also particularly memorable.
Murong Kuo looked at the lively courtyard and said with emotion: "I suddenly feel like I have returned to the time when I was young and went to the countryside. At that time, in the summer, we would gather in a courtyard to watch movies, and the movies we watched were still old-fashioned movies like tapes, and even then, we watched them with relish. ”
Li Bangguo didn't have such an experience, and when he heard Murong Kuo say this, he only smiled and said: "Now the life of rural people is getting better and better, and I believe it won't be long." Anyone in the village can buy a TV. ”
When Lin Zichen heard this, he muttered in a low voice, "Every household has a TV." There will never be such a lively scene again, and I'd rather not have a TV. ”
It's a pity that no one heard Lin Zichen's muttering, just looking at the villagers with smiles on their faces, Lin Zichen's heart was full of desire to keep this qiē.
Meal. The woman of the Li family cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Li Ji came to Li Bangguo, "Grandpa, I want to go to the city to have a look." ”
Li Bangguo smoked a dry cigarette and glanced at Li Ji, "If you want to go, go there, remember to call your eldest brother and them when you go." ”
"Got it." Li Ji replied a little excitedly, thinking that it would take a lot of saliva to move his grandfather, but he didn't expect Li Bangguo to agree as soon as he opened his mouth.
Murong Kuo looked at the suppressed joy in Li Ji's eyes. smiled: "Are you going to find your eldest brother?" Or the second brother and the third brother? ”
"I want to go to Big Brother." Li Ji replied.
"Then come with me." Murong Kuo replied lightly.
When Li Bangguo heard this, he looked at Murong Kuo uncertainly. "You're going back? Is there something urgent at home? ”
Murong Kuo said with a smile: "Nothing happened at home, I went back this time to contribute to the development of Fenghezhuang, you just wait for Fenghezhuang to develop." ”
Li Bangguo heard Lin Zichen talk about nature conservation and tourist attractions, and after hearing Murong Kuo say this, he no longer kept Murong Kuo, because Li Bangguo believed that Murong Kuo would come back soon.
When Lin Zichen on the side heard this, he also interjected: "Grandpa, I also want to go to the city." ”
As soon as Lin Zichen's words fell, they were unanimously opposed by everyone.
Lin Zichen choked, pointed at Li Ji and retorted: "Fourth brother can go, why can't I go?" ”
Li Bangguo replied, "What are you doing as a girl running to the city, stay at home." ”
Lin Zichen pursed his lips unhappily, "You don't have to go to the city sooner or later, what's the difference between going early and going late." ”
When Lin Qingxiang heard this, he said, "Since it makes no difference if you go early and go late, then you should stay at home now." ”
When Lin Zichen heard this, he immediately wanted to bite off his tongue and let himself have more mouths, he should bite.
"But I really want to go to the city for a long time." Lin Zichen looked at Li Bangguo pitifully.
Li Bangguo turned his face away from Lin Zichen's face, Lin Zichen looked at Li Yuedi pleadingly, and Li Yuedi also turned around and ignored it.
Seeing this, the rest of the family all said that they did not agree to Lin Zichen's request.
Lin Zichen sat in the corner watching TV with a gloomy expression, but there were still people who made matters worse.
"Xiao Chen, you can't go to the city, we need you to help us check the matter of the green vegetable supply base." Gu Stin said quietly.
Lin Zichen turned his head and looked at Gu Siting, who looked taken for granted, and his mouth was so pouting that he could lift a bucket of water.
"Hmph, after all, you just want me to be a coolie!" Lin Zichen rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Gu Stin coughed embarrassedly, "I can calculate your salary." ”
Lin Zichen turned his face away disdainfully and muttered in a low voice: "The little salary you give is not as good as the income of my convenience store for a day." ”
No matter what he said, in short, Lin Zichen didn't get the opportunity to go to the city, so he could only stay at home as a coolie.
Murong Kuo is also a person who acts immediately when he says he will do it, and the next day he asked Li Ji to pack his bags and let the driver pick up people.
The driver of the Murong family did not leave Yuan City this time, but ran around for Murong Jun's winery.
"Be careful on the road, and remember to call home when you arrive." Liang Xiaomei told Li Ji.
Li Ji sat in the back of the car, nodded and waved goodbye to everyone.
The sedan set off slowly, watching the familiar scenery gradually disappear behind him, and Li Ji's heart inexplicably swelled with sadness. But this sadness was only a moment overshadowed by the joy of being about to leave for the big city. (To be continued......)
