Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, at 8 o'clock, he was dragged out of the warm bed by his mother.

"Mom told me to sleep again."

"Hurry up, if you don't get up again, I'll lift the quilt."

Helplessly, I put on new clothes and stood in front of the mirror, looking new.

These clothes were bought by my mother after measuring his figure and taking him to the county seat, and a few sets of clothes cost more than 3ooo.

Tianming still has no objection to buying clothes, since he has been in a small space for a long time and his body has grown taller, the clothes that originally fit before now don't fit. It's just that when he was in Su Yun, he was too lazy to go to the mall to buy a few slightly suitable clothes, and he wore them for a while.

Although the brand is marked with brand-name clothing, it is difficult for clothing stores in small counties to guarantee authenticity. Except for two shirts bought for 2oo yuan, which I regretted when I took off the line and bought them, the other shirts above 5oo looked good and looked like dogs.

"My son looks so handsome." Helping Tianming tidy up his collar, Liu Hongcai couldn't help but praise.

As the saying goes, a person who is three points taller is handsome, and when he grows taller, he can score 9 points if he originally scored 6 points for his appearance. Tianming has a good character, a beautiful face, plus a day before yesterday, and now he has changed into new clothes, the whole person looks very energetic, not to mention the handsome 9 points and 1o points, it is no problem to score 8 points.

On the first day of the New Year, when I went to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors, Liu Hongcai, who was next to Tianming, was praised by the neighbors along the way: "Your son is really spiritual and talented." ”

This kind of words without much nutrition, Tianming listened to it and felt that it was nothing, but Liu Hongcai's face was flushed with excitement, laughing, and very happy.

In fact, the praise of the villagers, Tianming also heard some jealousy in it.

Generally speaking, the more remote the rural people, the shorter their knowledge, in terms of children's education, many people have a laissez-faire attitude, love to read, and go out to work if they don't read.

Tianming was also confused for a while, thinking about going to work outside. Liu Hongcai insisted that he finish high school, even if he couldn't pass the exam, a high school Chinese certificate, it was easy to mix rice outside.

The neighbors and villagers in the village, including some of Tianming's relatives, persuaded Liu Hongcai to pull Tianming out of school, so as to reduce the burden on the family and let Tianlin, who has a smarter head, continue to study.

Liu Hongcai, including Xu Jinsheng, was not swayed by these remarks, and let Tianming continue to read. Unexpectedly, ten years later, there were two college students in the family, which is rare in Hemu Village. Although the words of those villagers who flattered them in front of them were very good, when they talked behind their backs, they did not spit out sour water, and they looked envious and jealous.

"Let's go, son, mom will take you on a blind date!" After worshipping the ancestral shrine, Liu Hongcai stepped on his electric car, and the motorcycle next to him was Tianming's mount, and the back seat was full of various gifts.

"It still doesn't seem to be able to escape...... I had to go. With a sigh, Tianming moved the motorcycle, helplessly following.

Wutang Village is less than 5 miles away from Hemu Village, riding on a flat road, it doesn't take 1o minutes, and soon I saw a village of 100 households.

There are five small ponds at the entrance of the village, and there are many cement piers on the edge of the ponds, and rows of bluestone piers resting on the piers, where housewives wash their clothes. The pond is surrounded by a row of willow trees, and it is a beautiful sight to see in the spring when the willows bloom.

Parking the car at the head of the village, Tianming held the gift in both hands, followed behind his mother's buttocks, and walked forward slowly.

"Hurry up, not as fast as I am." Liu Hongcai urged Tianming Dao behind.

Tianming could only keep up, and under the gaze of men, women, children, uncles and uncles in Wutang Village, he went to the home of the blind date.

This family is in good condition, a three-story small building, a half-acre yard, and two cars are parked under the two ginkgo trees planted in the yard. On the outer wall of the second floor, there are big red tiles of "rich and noble people". At a glance, you can see that the family background is very good.

"Aunt Shen, is your daughter here? I brought my son over. ”

After Liu Hongcai finished shouting, he asked Tianming to put 2 68o red double happiness cigarettes and 2 bottles of 288 bottles of Wuliangye wine on the table, adding up to a small 2,000 meeting gift to show sincerity.

Aunt Shen, who came out of the kitchen, held Liu Hongcai's hand, sighed, and said warmly: "Sister Liu, just come here, what kind of gift do you give!" ”

"It should be, it should be......" Liu Hongcai kept nodding.

Pulling Tianming down to her side, Liu Hongcai introduced: "Aunt Shen, this is my son, Tianming." Son, call Aunt Shen quickly. ”

Tianming didn't dare to look directly at Aunt Shen's eyes that kept staring at him, half-lowered his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Aunt Shen is good." ”

Aunt Shen glanced at Tianming, nodded and praised: "Not bad, very energetic guy, he is also quite tall, and his appearance is good." Then he enthusiastically poured two cups of tea and handed them to each other.

After a few polite words, she finally got to the point, Liu Hongcai asked: "Aunt Shen, is your daughter not at home?" Didn't you say you had to wait for my son to come and see him? Why didn't you see her? After saying that, his eyes swept the corridor in the house.

I saw the embarrassed expression on Aunt Shen's face fleeting, and then she returned to normal: "She, she went to the same school in the county to play, and she was not at home for the past two days." Kindness...... I forgot to tell you not to come today. ”

She remembered that last night, a brightly lit car drove in the yard, and a young man wearing a checkered collar shirt and a brand-name suit walked down, and he was not afraid of the cold in winter, so he shrunk his neck and shouted: "Grass!" Frozen to death, Shen Ting, Shen Ting? At home? Brother is here to pick you up, come down and let me hug you. ”

Kicking and staring, Shen's mother saw her daughter go downstairs, and she didn't say hello, so she hugged the man. Hold together, mouth to mouth. The kiss was hot, and she was cold all over her body, and her face was blue.

"Mom, I'm going to go to the county with Brother Shaodong to play for a few days, and I won't go home. The blind dates you arranged for me are all pushed! Then, without asking himself whether he agreed or not, he got into the man's car, and after a buzz, he went away in a dusty manner.

Wait a minute! Could it be that the man is the son of the county magistrate Zheng mentioned by his daughter: Brother Shaodong?

If that's the case, isn't your family lucky?!

Thinking of this, she didn't care so much about her daughter and Brother Shaodong going to the county seat to play or do something else.

It's just that I didn't expect that Liu Hongcai's family from Mu Village came on a blind date today, and I forgot to call them in advance to inform them not to come. It's hard to explain it myself.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Liu Hongcai also looked a little embarrassed. Her tone changed, and she said to the side: "Young man, how much money can you probably earn if you are outside for a year now?" ”

Got to the point so quickly?

Tianming was stunned by her question, and before she could think of a number, her mother answered for her: "1,2o thousand, you can buy a house in the city in a few years, and if you take out a loan, you can buy it immediately." ”

Liu Hongcai didn't make up nonsense, although Tianming couldn't earn so much 2o. But with the income from her and Xu Jinsheng's work in the countryside, this number is about the same.

"That is, I haven't bought a house yet...... Okay, let me ask you another question, do you have a car at home, 3, 4o thousand? The aunt of the Shen family asked in a somewhat cold tone.

"Not yet...... Buy a house first, buy a car later. Of course, you can also buy a car first and then buy a house..."Liu Hongcai answered truthfully, and continued: "But our family has a deposit of 5 or 6o yuan, which is enough to buy a house and pay." ”

The aunt of the Shen family suddenly smashed her mouth like a realization: "Oh...... I understand, your son is really useless! It's all 27 or 8 people, and it looks like it's a good man, there is no house, and there is no car. What's the use of a deposit of hundreds of thousands? My daughter drank the northwest wind when she came into your house. The deposit is reserved for the grandson to go to the aristocratic kindergarten in the big city! There is no house and no car, my daughter will go over, won't she have to endure hardships and be a house slave and a car slave! ”

“……”

After this series of cannons, Tianming's ears were buzzing, and Liu Hongcai was speechless in shock.

This...... We had a good chat a few days ago, we looked at each other's photos, and we figured out the situation at home. Liu Hongcai really couldn't figure it out.

"Mom, let's go!" Tianming pulled his mother and walked out.

Liu Hongcai looked at the Shen family's eldest lady with her waist crossed, with a cold and resolute look. broke free of his son's pull, took back the meeting gift on the table, and yelled, "Don't take your own things away!" Then he left with Tianming.

When I walked to the gate of the compound, I heard the Shen family lady shouting loudly outside: "What two poor ghosts, they can't even afford to give a meeting gift, and they still want to chase our family Tingting?" The toad wants to eat swan meat and daydreams! Don't look in the mirror yourself and come back! ”

Some aunts and uncles who watched the excitement around the gate of the courtyard looked at Tianming with strange eyes, and collectively laughed. made Liu Hongcai feel embarrassed, and his face was white and scary.

Leaving Wutang Village, parking the car on the side of the road, seeing the uncomfortable appearance of the old mother, Tianming also felt very guilty, and stepped forward to comfort her a few words.

Ay! I didn't expect that a blind date would also be discriminated against, and the conditions of my family are obviously not bad, why is Aunt Shen blind?

Tianming didn't know how to persuade his mother, but he just promised that he would find what he liked.

Only a few minutes later, to the surprise of Tianming, the old mother, whose face was calm, said indignantly: "It's they who are blind and have no vision!" Next time, we'll be able to find the right one, we'll see! ”

Mom's ruthless eyes made Tianming's back cold. God, this damn blind date doesn't know how long it will last?

……

Liu Jialing, the village where my grandparents lived. The whole village is very small, there are only 7 families, and Liu Hongcai are all related, this time to visit the New Year, Tianming also followed his mother to send gifts door-to-door.

Grandma is almost 8o years old this year, and she is cooking on the fire in the kitchen, and every time Tianming greets her, she has to say loudly: "Grandma, I came to see you!" ”

When I was young, my grandmother accidentally became deaf in one ear, and the other was half the hearing of ordinary people, and she couldn't hear at all if she didn't make a loud noise.

Grandma took Tianming's hand, swayed it with her hand with yellow-brown skin full of wrinkles, and said to Tianming kindly: "Okay, good, I'll eat the boiled egg noodles that grandma gave you later." ”

As soon as he heard the egg noodles, Tianming couldn't help but fall into the warm memories of his childhood. At that time, I was more naughty, I didn't like to eat eggs, especially I didn't like to eat egg yolks, and my grandmother had to put three or four eggs in each bowl of egg noodles, and every time I quarreled with my brother not to eat eggs, my mother had to reprimand a few times, and then take away the egg yolk. Now that I'm older, my grandmother can eat as many eggs as she puts in the bowl.

"Grandma, where is grandpa?" Tianming said loudly in his grandmother's ear.

"He, he went fishing, and he can only come back in the afternoon, last time he caught a 6-pound old turtle, just in that pool, you can eat it tonight." Grandma pointed to the marble pool outside.

Tianming walked over to see that there was really an old turtle lying in the pool, and his 12-year-old nephew Lao Liu'er was playing with it.

Tianming also moved the old turtle with its head shrunk and turned like a radar, and played with novelty for a while.
