The next morning, Jiang Yichen woke up, got out of bed with sleepy eyes, and went to the bathroom.

In the living room, Jiang Guoming had already gotten up, bending over and leaning on the ground with a mop, humming a little song in his mouth, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Dad, you still do this work yourself. Didn't I say last time, go to the housekeeping service center downstairs to make a record, and let the hourly worker come two or three times a week. Jiang Yichen turned his face and said.

You must know that this new house is not as large as the old family building of the agricultural machinery factory, and it is not easy to do a clean house.

"Hey, I'm not old enough to move, what's wrong with moving my arms and legs? Besides, the current group of hourly workers and nannies are holding back to work less and get more money, and they are very confused. Jiang Guoming responded disappreciatively.

"Yes, yes, I'll help you in a moment."

Jiang Yichen said, shook his head and walked into the bathroom to wash.

Ten minutes later, he fetched a basin of water, damped the rag, and began to wipe down the table.

When I looked up, I saw a new wooden photo frame hanging in the middle of the wall, and inside was a family photo, but it was a little larger than the original.

A young couple sits upright in a chair facing the camera. The round-faced short-haired woman was holding a chubby baby in her arms, smiling and happy.

This old photo he has seen since he was a child, and he is very familiar with it.

He sighed, re-threw the rag in his hand, wrung it out, and stretched out his arm to carefully wipe the frame up and down, even though it didn't look dirty.

At that moment, the landline phone next to the desk rang.

"I'll pick it up." Jiang Guoming said. Take a few steps over and grab the phone receiver.

Jiang Yichen took the basin away and moved it to the coffee table.

"Hey, it's me... Old Yao... What? … Alas. Didn't I tell you a long time ago, I'm doing well... Sensei introduced me to this and that... I don't have that emotion, I don't want to read it....okay, okay, so be it..."Jiang Guoming said a few words, and then hung up the phone.

"It's really salty and doesn't worry about eating turnips." He shook his head again and again, muttering to himself.

"Dad, who hit it? What's going on? Jiang Yichen listened to his tone not quite right. Asked curiously.

"Who else, old Yaobei, you just saw it yesterday." Jiang Guoming hesitated slightly. But I decided to tell the truth.

Recently, those old guys may have been in a panic because they were idle, and they wanted to have some fun. So I always held back to introduce him to an old wife, of course. He unceremoniously rejected them all.

"Huh. It turned out to be for this. Dad, they care about you, too. ”

When Jiang Yichen heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, there are really a lot of people who are good at the age of the moon these years. But then again, after so many years, Dad is indeed a little lonely living alone.

After thinking for a moment, he solemnly told his father if he wanted to continue the string. I won't object, don't delay because of him.

"It's not because of you. Don't guess. Jiang Guoming frowned and denied it.

Suddenly, he tilted his face and stared at the family photo hanging on the wall, then sighed deeply and turned to walk to the kitchen.

Jiang Yichen saw everything in his eyes, and suddenly felt mixed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After the cleaning, the Spring Festival officially arrived, pasting the Spring Festival, cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, making dumplings, watching the Spring Festival Gala, calling to pay New Year's greetings, going out to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, visiting temple fairs and so on.

Although every Chinese New Year is these old routines, as the most important festival of the Chinese people, everyone is still immersed in it, enjoying the joy and happiness it brings, generation after generation, never tired of it.

However, for Jiang Yichen, it doesn't matter what he does during the New Year, the main thing is to be able to accompany his father.

Before I knew it, I came to the tenth day of the first month, and this was the day when I made an appointment with Lai Shun'er to return to the river.

The original plan was to leave after the Lantern Festival, but because Xizi and Shi Suo'er claimed that only Lao Dou was on duty on Yunsha Island, they were worried that he would not be able to cope with it if something went wrong after a long time. In addition, after the Lantern Festival, it is the peak of returning to the city, and it is crowded everywhere.

Jiang Yichen also understood that these two boys were actually thinking about Lao Dou's daughter, and he was afraid that he would not see anyone if he went back late. So in desperation, I had to agree to leave early.

Before parting, he filled several plastic flat buckets with space green ice water and handed them to his father.

For Jiang Guoming, this pale green special nutrient solution has become an indispensable thing in his life, regarded as a treasure, usually only used to make tea, and even reluctant to cook rice and soup.

Since it was his son's filial piety, he also accepted them all calmly, and then labeled the flat buckets with numbers and stored them in the cold room of the newly purchased 300-liter side-by-side refrigerator at home.

Regarding the storage of space green ice water, Jiang Yichen once did experiments, and the conclusion was that even if it is at room temperature, as long as it is placed in a closed container and placed in a cool place, it can be kept for a long time without deterioration.

Of course, it will definitely be safer in the cold compartment of the refrigerator.

On the morning of the tenth day of the new year, Jiang Yichen said goodbye to his father after breakfast, drove away from the "Shifang Jiayuan", and went to the place where they were separated from Qingqing last time in the county seat.

When I arrived at the agreed place, I saw the red Mazda Ruiyi parked on the side of the road, the door opened, and several people were standing nearby, holding fritters and buns in their hands.

"Brother Chenzi is here."

"Brother Chenzi."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Wang, Wang."

……………

The two sides met and said hello, and Snow Bean rushed up with a loud shout.

"Yo, you're still wearing this thing, it's stinky. It's pretty honest in the countryside these days, right? ”

Jiang Yichen picked up the snow bean and straightened the crooked red bow on its head.

"To be honest, I had a fight with the rhubarb of Zhao's lame family on the first day I arrived in the village." Lai Shun'er was not polite, and immediately participated in the disaster caused by the dog.

"Snow Pea's mouth is really ruthless, and in two or three clicks, he bites Rhubarb's ears, and the blood is dripping. was so angry that Zhao Cripple scolded it for being a wild dog. Kiko added on the side.

"Hmph, it's not Rhubarb who bullied and provoked, he deserved it. Doudou: This is justified defense. Zhao Cripple himself is not strict with discipline, why should he scold Doudou? ”

Qingqing hurriedly defended her baby, it was indeed Rhubarb who suddenly rushed up at that time, and she always thought that Xuedou was obedient and well-behaved, so she didn't leash the dog, and the two dogs just started a fight, and they couldn't pull it. But it didn't hurt anyone.

Xuedou was very spiritual, as if sensing that everyone was telling about its disgraceful deeds, so she immediately stopped being coquettish, stretched her mouth forward, put her chin flat on Jiang Yichen's elbow, half-squinted her eyes and acted obediently, without saying a word.

"Hehe, this guy is pretty good. Forget it, be careful in the future, and remember to tie the rope when you go outside. Jiang Yichen said, putting the snow beans back on the ground.

The silver fox dog is not an aggressive fierce dog, and it is estimated that the other party should be more responsible. And it's not uncommon for dogs to fight in the countryside or something, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

In addition, due to the special food on Yunsha Island, Xuedou's excellent physical fitness has been created, and now the average earth dog is probably not its opponent.

"Oh, yes, land monkeys, land monkeys!"

At this time, Lai Shun'er suddenly remembered something, and he turned his head and shouted loudly at a food stall on the sidewalk not far away.

"Hey, come on."

With a response, a young man appeared in front of him, holding a half-eaten fried cake in his hand.

"This is Brother Chenzi." Lai Shun'er said to him.

"Hey, Brother Chenzi." The young man hurriedly said hello.

Jiang Yichen took a closer look, and saw that the young man in front of him was dark and thin, and he was also short, only about one meter and six, but his eyes were quite big, and his black eyes were dripping, and he was quite clever when he looked at it.

According to Lai Shun'er's introduction, this person is the new partner recruited by this return to his hometown, and he is from the same village as Shi Suo'er, and they all played together when they were young. Daimyo Lu Jiansheng, 21 years old. Because people are short and thin, and they are very slippery when they climb houses and trees, they have been nicknamed "land monkeys" since they were children.

Lu Hou'er used to work at a construction site in Lingjiang City, but after being discharged from the hospital due to a bit of a work-related injury in the second half of last year, he returned to Shuangliushu Village to raise him, and now he doesn't want to go back to work. This time, Shi Suo'er came to the door during the Spring Festival, and after some lobbying, he was brought over.

The land monkey listened to Lai Shun'er call him by his nickname, but he didn't show any displeasure, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to this.

"Oh, Xiao Lu, welcome."

Jiang Yichen smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook hands with his new partner.

Since they are Laishun'er and Shi Suo'er, they have played together since childhood, and they know the roots, so it is estimated that there should be no major problems in terms of character. He was still at ease at all.

But this is obviously not the place to talk, and there is a need to catch a boat. So Jiang Yichen waved his hand and asked everyone to get into the car.

Lai Shun'er and the land monkey carried their bags onto the Tiguan, and the two cars started separately and rushed to the port one after the other.

Since it was not yet the peak period of returning to the city during the Spring Festival, the procedures for ticket exchange, boarding and parking were handled very smoothly, and an hour later, the ro-ro ship set sail and sailed to Lingjiang Port.

Today's weather is fine, the sea is not very windy, and it is too depressing to stay in the cabin. So Jiang Yichen and his entourage of six people came to the aft deck for a walk, watching the soaring seagulls and chatting.

As for Snow Bean, because pets are not allowed in the cabin, I had to be aggrieved for the time being and locked in the Ruiyi car. Xuedou was originally very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but after Qingqing's patient persuasion and appeasement, she reluctantly accepted it and stopped making trouble. In order to maintain air circulation in the car, a gap was left in the rear window.

Of course, the cleanliness and hygiene of the car is not a problem, and Qingqing also took it to the grove to make it convenient before getting on the boat.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Yichen asked about the land monkey's original work at the construction site and his subsequent injury. (To be continued......)
