Chapter 169: Look Away
The car drove to the door of the beef shop in the town, and as soon as it stopped, a bunch of little heads rolled out of the car in less than two minutes, and they didn't wait for others to run inside one by one when they got out of the car.
Today, there are not many diners in the market, and the nine little babies have two tables, each sitting on a long stool and putting their hands on the table, looking at Bei Hai into the house. These babies are okay, knowing who paid today, and left a whole side of the square table for Bei Hai.
"Why are there so many little babies who have a treat," the shopkeeper joked with a smile at Bei Hai who entered the door, even if this sentence is a greeting, the villagers are not used to anything, at most, they have not eaten. It's not suitable for such a scene after eating, think about who has eaten and come to your beef soup shop.
And I didn't see the Audi here to drink beef soup a few times a year, and the owner of the shop had a good memory, and Bei Hai recognized it as soon as he entered the door, this was a guest who came last time, and even remembered that this was from Bujia Village.
Bei Hai smiled at the boss and sat directly in the position left by the little babies: "Give ten bowls of beef soup, and add one more beef to each bowl!" ”。
"Great! Ten bowls of beef broth, add more beef to each bowl" The shopkeeper shouted loudly at the backyard, and then heard someone inside reply+.
The shopkeeper looked at the boys and said to Bei Hai, "Are you sending them here to school?" ”。
"Hmmm! By the way," Bei Hai nodded.
The shopkeeper glanced at the bodies of several little babies and stretched out his hand to give the nearest little baby a chest jump: "You little killers have skipped class to play again!" There is no positive shape all day long, be careful that the teacher calls the parents! ”。
The little baby who was bounced touched his head and didn't have a brain, and he just laughed twice as a default.
There weren't many people in the shop. After all the beef soup was served, the shopkeeper pulled a stool and sat down at Bei Hai's table to chat.
Talk about things Bei Hai also knows. That is, the robbery of the mermaid pond and the petition. Such a thing in these ten miles and eight villages is a big event in the sky, who wouldn't say a few words? Naturally, when chatting, I want to spit out a few words that are useless or something. There are no complaints about violent law enforcement in the township and village. In this respect, the simple values of the peasants are manifested, and if they are wrong, they will be taught a lesson, and they do not care whether the lesson is legal or not.
After chatting about this, I listened to the shopkeeper talk about Old Man Sun's dog.
"This old man Sun has developed all of a sudden, and those who didn't want a dog in the first place met the big boss who knows, and it's a million all of a sudden!" The shopkeeper smiled at Bei Hai and stretched out his finger: "If nothing else, it's just that some borrowers are about to break the threshold of his house."
"Borrowed money?" Bei Hai couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked.
"Those who borrow money, those who borrow money from others at an interest rate higher than the bank give are usury!" The shopkeeper opened his mouth to explain.
"Isn't this thing illegal?" Bei Hai couldn't help asking: "What if people want to lose it?" ”。
The shopkeeper glanced at Bei Hai and asked curiously, "You don't know?" Looking at Bei Hai, he shook his head and continued: "When I borrowed money, I said that it was okay, for example, I actually borrowed 300,000 yuan." But the IOU or something is 400,000, and when it is returned, it will naturally be 400,000, who is not stupid."
Hearing this, Bei Hai couldn't help but shake his head: "Then did Old Man Sun borrow money later?" ”。
"I hadn't heard much about it, and I didn't ask about it when he came," the shopkeeper said.
Listening to the shopkeeper talking about the countryside, Bei Hai finished eating a bowl of soup here.
"You all go to school after eating, and I still have something to do first, do you hear honestly?" After Bei Hai and the shopkeeper finished settling the bill, they said to a group of little babies who were still eating.
These little babies can eat more than Bei Hai, an adult, and the youngest one has eaten a full bowl and a half. Now Bei Hai finally knows what it means to eat Lao Tzu to death, and Bei Hai bought a total of fourteen bowls of money for this meal. And it's beef.
As soon as the meal was finished here, Bei Hai wanted to go to Old Man Sun's place for a visit, and by the way, he would bring some smoked fish or something to the old man to visit.
"You're busy with your business, and I'll watch them go to school later. If they don't go, I'll mention it to their teacher when I meet them in the evening," the shopkeeper said with a smile at Bei Hai.
As soon as they heard what they said to their teacher, the eldest of the group immediately shrank their faces.
Bei Hai said to the shopkeeper: "Then it's troublesome for you" and then walked out of the store. got into the car, started it, and drove towards Old Man Sun's house.
Like last time, Bei Hai stopped the car at the entrance of the village and walked to the gate of Old Man Sun's yard.
"Is Old Man Sun at home?" Bei Hai slapped the door a few times. He shouted at the yard with his mouth open.
"Who!" An elderly woman's voice came from the courtyard, listening to this voice, Bei Hai guessed that it was the old man's wife.
"It's coming. "The voice came from far and near, and after a squeak, the door opened.
The old lady looked at Bei Hai, looked at Bei Hai and said directly with the gift in his hand: "Our old man has no money to borrow, you go back!" ”。
Bei Hai was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Auntie, I'm not here to borrow money, I used to know Old Man Sun, and I even hugged a few dogs from him!" ”。
"Oh!" The eldest lady didn't believe it a little and refused to let Bei Hai enter the door, looking Bei Hai up and down as if she wanted to see if Bei Hai, a young man, was lying.
Just as Bei Hai was smiling bitterly, Old Man Sun's voice came from the courtyard again: "Old woman, who is here!" ”。
Bei Hai listened and said, "Old Man Sun, it's me, Bei Hai!" ”。
"Oh! Bei Hai is here, hurry up and come in! When Old Man Sun heard this, he immediately said loudly.
Now Bei Hai was able to enter the yard, as soon as he entered the yard, he immediately gave Bei Hai a very different feeling, the original dog canopy on both sides was gone, and now one side of the two sides is planted with shallots and garlic or something, and the other side is a small greenhouse built with glass. Inside it is lush and it seems to have flowers and grass.
Looking up and seeing the old man standing in front of the hall, Bei Hai felt that he was in good spirits. Not as emaciated as I thought.
"The old man looks pretty good," Bei Hai said and wanted to put down the plastic box he was carrying, which contained ten catties of smoked fish.
The old man motioned for Bei Hai to follow him into the house: "Come on." Bring me something back! ”。
"It's all my own fish, and the smoked fish I make myself is not valuable," Bei Hai watched the old man reach out to catch it, so he blocked it and carried it himself to the house.
As soon as I entered the hall, Bei Hai immediately felt that it was very different, because the room was warm, and I felt that it was not an air conditioner, which was more comfortable than an air conditioner.
"Take off your coat, or you should sweat after a while," Old Man Sun said to Bei Hai after waiting for both of them to sit down.
Bei Hai took off his coat and asked, "What do you have in this house?" So warm? ”。
"Heating oil-fired boilers" Mr. Sun explained with a smile: "We old people are not afraid of heat, afraid of cold!" It's so much more comfortable with this stuff! ”。
At this time, he answered the two aunts who served tea: "Comfortable is comfortable, but it's too expensive!" ”。
"If you have money, don't spend it, what do you keep it for!" Old Man Sun smiled at his wife and said, "I haven't spent a lot of money in my life, when will I spend it if I don't spend it now?" ”。
After speaking, Old Man Sun asked Bei Hai, "What are you doing over there?" ”。
"It's good, I have ordered a boat by myself now, and I don't have to rent someone else's boat next year......," Bei Hai introduced his own situation to Old Man Sun.
After hearing this, Old Man Sun sighed and said, "You are a child with a heart, unlike the little beasts I raised. I'm not their father, money is their father! He waved his hand at Bei Hai: "Don't mention them, I'll be upset when I mention them!" ”。
"You always pay more attention to your mood, you should play and eat, it's okay to take your aunt to travel, if you can go to the United States for a turn, anyway, it's convenient to go to Europe and the United States now" Bei Hai hurriedly led the topic out, and saw that as soon as Old Man Sun mentioned his three children's mood, his face immediately changed.
Master Sun's spirit was immediately turned around: "I think so too." Anyway, now I have a little money in my hand, I also took my wife to Huangshan two days ago, and I went to see the soldier toilet in front, and we didn't go with the group or the two of us took a train. Wherever you go, it's where you go".
Speaking of this, he immediately said to the aunt sitting next to him: "Take out the photos of us going out to play and show them to Bei Hai!" ”。
A few minutes later, Bei Hai looked at the photo album with Old Man Sun. Don't say that there are really a lot of photos taken by this old couple, there are attractions and ordinary ones, and even the door of foreign fast food is a photo of the two of them.
"You look. I'm going to feed the chickens! The aunt sat for a while, then left the stool.
Old Man Sun and Bei Hai finished reading the photo together, and put the photo aside.
As soon as it was put away, Bei Hai saw a half-sized earth dog squeezing in from the door. Seeing Bei Hai, he leaned over and sniffed, and then he came to the old man's feet and lay down.
"Black Tiger!" The old man explained to Bei Hai.
"This ......," Bei Hai wanted to persuade when he heard this, but he didn't know how to speak.
Old Man Sun smiled and waved his hand at Bei Hai: "It's just a miss, I'm so old that I can see some things when I think about it." It's not a big deal, who doesn't end up with a pinch of loess? Let it go if it should go, now I will live happily, raise flowers and grass, and then go around the village and talk to the old people I know, and the life is much more comfortable than when I used to serve the dog, when I was busy all day with my heel hitting the back of the head, now it is much lighter."
"So good, so good!" Bei Hai listened and said. The old man was afraid that he would be in a bad mood, and now the old man let go of his heart when he thought about Bei Hai like this.
Then Mr. Sun became interested and took Bei Hai to visit his small greenhouse, and as soon as Bei Hai entered, he smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers inside.
"The owner of the house above my side also made a greenhouse, but they have changed it to vegetables for me, I really can't get this," Bei Hai said with his head stretched out and sniffed a few flowers on them.
The old man laughed a few times when he heard this: "Young people who have the patience to do this, I tell you not to look at the beauty of these flowers and plants, but if you really raise them, it will be troublesome." I didn't know it at first, but I bought some books on raising flowers, and I consulted some old gardeners. You see this pot it likes to be dry, you need to water less or the heart of this plant will rot, this pot likes dark ......".
As he spoke, he told Bei Hai about the Flower Sutra, the old man said with his eyebrows fluttering, Bei Hai listened to it with his ears, anyway, he didn't care if he heard it or not, the main thing was to feel the happiness of the old man, and when he talked about these things, it seemed that the enthusiasm of the old man talking about the dog appeared in front of Bei Hai's eyes again.
was originally going to stay for an hour and leave, but in the end, Bei Hai stayed for more than three hours before leaving Old Man Sun's small courtyard and returning to his home. After spending a night at home, I drove to Mingzhu and then left China on the plane that night to fly to Los Angeles.
The biggest gain of Bei Hai this time back to China is not these pigs and chickens, but from the old man Sun to get a peace of mind, although Bei Hai does not think that he owes the old man anything, but the old man can see that he can maintain this good mood, Bei Hai's heart is naturally more relieved.
