Li Zhendong has not had a good time in the past two days. The mother and the younger brother did not return. Go to school to cancel the vacation, and then sit in the classroom and read a book in a serious way. When the teachers saw Li Zhendong and the appearance of falling in the book, they all nodded secretly and approved. This kid already has such good grades and is so diligent. Li Zhendong, who returned home from class, was even happier, and he continued to practice martial arts. Three meals a day, the smell of meat wafting at home has not stopped. It's all up to Lin Gong'an in the town, say hello to him, it doesn't matter if the money is high, help me find the villagers of the commune to buy some chickens or something. I didn't know that when Lu Dao came to this, there were more chickens and eggs sent, so I had to say hello to Lin Gong'an, and I didn't want to order it for the time being.

Wang Lianxiang has been in a state of nervousness and busyness since she received the telegram from her hometown. Take my youngest son to the county seat by car, and then buy a train ticket to Shao City, Lingnan Province. In this era, the train speed was not fast, and you bought a fast ticket. Although it is known as an express ticket, it is almost a must-stop at every small station. Moreover, when you arrive at Zhushi, a major transit station in Hunan Province, you have to get off and transfer another train to Shao City, Lingnan. When I arrived in Shao City, there was no train to take my hometown, only to take a long-distance bus to Meicheng County, and it took a whole day to take the car. The time spent on the road is four days. Don't mention the hard work on the road, as the old saying goes: it's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out.

When I arrived at my hometown, it was too late, and the old man had passed away the day before. All the children of the old man came back from all over the country, and everyone discussed for a long time, looking for a treasure of feng shui for the old man, and quietly found Mr. Geographic, and the geographical compass pinched his fingers for a long time. Many trivial matters, such a busy three days have passed in a flash. Wang Lianxiang is sad about the death of her old father here, and she can't let go of her eldest son alone. Fortunately, all the brothers and sisters are considerate, most of the old man's affairs have been dealt with, and the road is far away, you can take the child back first. Wang Lianxiang could only wipe her tears and take her youngest son to the old man's hometown. How old is the youngest son, Lee Jin Xi? Where do you know the sorrow of the road? I'm still having fun these days. After kowtowing to the old man three times in his hometown, Wang Lianxiang took her youngest son on the way back to Hunan Province.

Carrying his heart all the way, the closer he gets to home, the more worried he becomes, is the eldest son full? How are you doing?

Finally arrived, Wang Lianxiang got off the bus and walked a few kilometers back to the door. At this time, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the eldest son was definitely not at home. Wang Lianxiang, who was full of fatigue, opened the door of the house, but was startled by the fragrance that filled the room, how could the house be so fragrant?

Li Zhenxi, a small nose spirit, has already smelled the smell of meat coming from the kitchen. With a squeak, the man arrived in the kitchen. "Mom, there's a chicken in the pot, and a lot of eggs." Li Zhenxi stood there and shouted.

Wang Lianxiang also saw that there was a chicken stewed in the big pot at home, more than a dozen boiled eggs, and a large plate of rice was steaming underneath. The small coal stove below has been sealed for fire, and this is purely to keep warm here. Li Zhenxi found a note on the stove and handed it to his mother, Wang Lianxiang looked at it, and there were a few words written on it: "Mom, I have stewed the food in the pot." I feel that my nose is a little sour, and my eldest son is really sensible!

Li Zhenxi, who was already tired and hungry on the road, saw the crispy and soft stewed chicken, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at his mother with blank eyes. Cheers in joy at his mother's nod, he climbed up on a stool and grabbed a bowl from the closet on the wall.

The note was left by Li Zhendong at noon, considering that his mother and younger brother had a difficult journey, it was inconvenient to eat on the road, and it was very expensive. In my mother's style, most of the time I ate frugally all the way. Just cook the meal and leave a note. If the mother and the younger brother come back to eat, it is just right, and they will eat it themselves before they come back.

After eating, Wang Lianxiang couldn't care about being tired, and she didn't have time to pack the luggage she brought back, so she went to the vegetable field behind the building first. Several vegetable plots are dying due to lack of water.

Li Zhenxi, who was full, slipped downstairs, and he didn't have to play for many days, and no one played glass beads in his hometown

Li Zhendong heard the crisp laughter of his little brother from a long distance. In the crowd of children, the younger brother stretched out his hand, and several children were putting glass beads in his hands. Won again? Li Zhendong smiled and didn't disturb his little brother's fun.

Li Zhendong, who returned home, was faced with his mother's strange gaze. Wang Lianxiang was sorting out her luggage and putting it in the box, and found that she had left her son with no money and food stamps. I didn't care about it at first, and I exaggerated in my heart that my eldest son would be economical. Thinking about it again, no, what does my son eat in eleven or twelve days back and forth? The green vegetables on the hillside behind the house have not moved, there are still a lot of eggs in the bamboo basket at home, and the rice noodles at home are only shallow layer. According to the amount of food eaten by the eldest son, the rice in the bucket should be half of it. After so many days and no money, do you only eat one or two bites per meal? And what about the chicken that I just came back to eat? With a bite of food at every meal, is it possible that you want to become an immortal?

Seeing her eldest son walk in, Wang Lianxiang took a closer look, how could her son have half a yellow muscle and thin skin! It seems to be a little taller and stronger. This doesn't seem to be an illusion. simply asked, "Xiaodong, you haven't spent a penny, what are you eating these days?" Li Zhendong smiled, his mother's words had been expected, "Secretary Hu of the commune asked me to help, and I usually eat there." Sometimes come back with some eggs and chickens. He added, "The wife of Secretary Hu of the commune also sent you something." "I went into the inner room and took the cosmetics in a brown paper bag and handed it to my mother. Wang Lianxiang flipped through the rummags, "Oh, you kid, how can you accept it, these things are not cheap." ”

"They asked me to help and come up with ideas. You can take it. ”

Wang Lianxiang disagreed: "What can you do as a child?" What's the idea? I still run to the commune all day long, and it can't affect my academic performance! ”

"Mom, if you come back, I won't go. Don't worry, if your academic performance doesn't reach the top three in your grade, you can say whatever you want. Li Zhendong patted his chest and made a bold promise. In fact, in Li Zhendong's current state, it is difficult not to win the first place with inhuman memory and outrageous understanding that is dozens of years old. Wang Lianxiang just reminded her eldest son, seeing that her son was concerned about his studies, the matter passed. As long as you study well, everything else is a minutiae. This eldest son didn't bother himself much when he was young, he just had his own ideas.

Ding Laoshi is an ordinary villager in Chuanshan Village below the town's commune. People have just reached middle age, and their foreheads already have deep wrinkles. He is known for his honesty and honesty in the production team of Chuanshan. will only bury his head in honest work, the production captain bullies others to be honest, and often arranges him to do things that others do not do, and work more and less work. He didn't know how to argue, and he muttered that he still went to work. Begging for a wife is a spicy person, and when he gets home, he can't beat a word with three sticks. However, Ding Laoshi has a unique skill, the vegetables and fruit trees in his own land are very good, and the yield of the same variety is one section higher than that of others.

At this moment, he was squatting under a fruit tree in his yard, filling his dry tobacco bag with shredded tobacco. The youngest son, Ah Mao, ran into the house from outside, "Dad, I want money to buy candy." "The youngest son, Ah Mao, is six years old and looks like a tiger, and Ding Laoshi loves this little son the most. Hearing the words of the youngest son, he froze for a while, and smiled bitterly in a low voice, "Mao Zai, Dad has no money now, and when he has money in a few days, Dad will buy it for you again, okay?" ”

"No, Xiaojun's family bought a lot of candy for Xiaojun, and Xiaojun only gave me one."

"But Dad really doesn't have any money!" Ding was honestly embarrassed. "Then why is the little army rich?" Mao was puzzled. Aunt Ding, who came out of the house, sneered, "That's your father, who is honest, incompetent, and doesn't know anyone." Come, Maozai, Mom will come to the house and bake you a sweet potato. ”

Ding Laoshi's face became a little more bitter, he was silent, lit a cigarette pouch, and took a hard breath. In the drifting smoke, he looked at the dozens of trees behind his house in a daze. In the distance, you can see the fruit hanging from the branches.
