Wang Quan's old father has been clamoring to return to his hometown for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Both Wang Quan and Wang Yueying persuaded him to come to Beijing and stay for a few more days before leaving.

"It's not interesting to live in the city." The old father said, "I sat at home for a long time and was so anxious that I went downstairs to find someone to talk to, and I didn't talk speculatively. Once, in the small supermarket in the yard, I met the old lady whose son was the owner, and asked her what she planned to buy, and she said that her son worked hard to write novels every day, and she wanted to buy some pig's trotters for his son to stew and drink, so as to increase some nutrition. I said how your son always writes novels and has the ability to write 'big stories'. She said that I was a layman's talker, and there was no such thing as 'big talk'. Tell me, how can there be no 'big' if there is 'small'? When I was walking around the yard the other day, I saw the old lady again, and when I asked her what she was doing, she said that her little grandson's clothes were torn and that she would have to be sent to the tailor's shop to mend them. I said that the precious clothes had to be sent to the tailor shop to be mended, and I couldn't get the needle even if I got it, and she said that it was a 'filial piety' suit, and I asked her who died in the family, and let the children wear the 'filial piety' clothes. As a result, she was asked by a sentence, she said that the clothes she sent to the tailor shop for her grandson were the school-issued clothes she wore when she went to school, also called 'school uniforms', not the filial piety clothes worn by the dead people in the family, and complained that I spoke 'mildew', and this morning I met her downstairs again, and she saw me twist her face, and she didn't even want to pay attention to me, so she quickly walked away. ”

Wang Quan said: "There are some things in the city that you don't understand, go out and talk as little as possible, just take a walk by yourself and relax your mind." ”

"Now Nian Jun doesn't leave home every day during the day, and comes back very late at night, I don't have anyone to talk to in the house, and I don't talk much when I go out, isn't this going to suffocate me to death!" The old father complained to his son in dissatisfaction.

Speaking of Nian Jun, Wang Quan also became angry, and scolded: "This dog boy's heart is getting wilder and wilder now, and he doesn't know what he is crazy about outside every day!" ”

"Why don't you stay at home after work, and go out for a run at night?" At one point he reprimanded his son.

"I go out at night with my eyes wide open, and I never run blind!" The son said unashamedly.

Wang Quan's slap has no deterrent power against his son now, and when he is very angry, only one person sits on the sofa and smokes violently.

Wang Quan discussed with Wang Yueying that if the old man really wanted to leave, let him go back, otherwise he would be sick in the city, and it would be difficult to explain to the people in the old family.

"Now that I'm catching up with the farming, Uncle Nianjun won't have time to come to the city to pick him up, so it's better for me to take a few days off to send him back." Wang Quan said to Wang Yueying.

Wang Yueying said: "You go and ask Director Ren for a leave, and I will go to the nearby bazaar to buy a few clothes for the old man to wear when he goes home." ”

Wang Quan asked Director Ren for leave the next day, so he went to the ticket office of the agency to ask about the ticket. After returning home, he told Wang Yueying: "It's the off-season for tourism, and you can buy a plane ticket for a general route with a two-to-three-fold discount, which is about the same price as a high-speed rail and ordinary train sleeper ticket." Now the shuttle bus from the airport of the hometown provincial city passes by the door of our township government, it is very convenient to get off the plane and go home, the old man has never taken a plane in his life, this time I want to take a plane back with him. ”

Wang Yueying said approvingly: "You discuss it with the old man, as long as he agrees, I have no opinion." ”

When having dinner, Nian Jun was also at home, Wang Quan told his father that he wanted to take him back by plane, the old man listened to his son's words, waved his hand again and again and said: "That toy flies so high, I can't go up to the sky, I can't go down to the ground, I don't dare to sit." ”

Nian Jun said: "Grandpa, you are completely blind and worried, airplanes are safer than trains and cars. It takes you hours to take the high-speed train, you have to take the ordinary train all night to get home, and you can see the roof of your hometown from the sky with a cup of tea on the plane. ”

"It's so good to fly, why do I always see a lot of people taking the train, and I don't see a few who take the plane?"

"The main reason for the lack of people taking planes is that plane tickets are too expensive, isn't it a price reduction now!" Nian Jun patiently explained to his grandfather.

Wang Quan also persuaded his father on the side: "In fact, there are many people who take planes, and there are thousands of planes flying in the sky every day across the country, but most of the people you know are in rural areas, and they generally don't take planes. ”

The old man listened to Wang Quan's words and said worriedly: "I don't dare to sit even more when you talk about this, thousands of planes are flying in the sky, and there are no traffic lights or traffic policemen in the sky. ”

Nian Jun laughed so much that he almost squirted out the rice in his mouth.

Wang Yueying said: "Don't worry, your old man, Nianjun and his father often traveled by plane when he was not retired, and he never had an accident, and there are many rules in the sky, you don't have to worry." ”

The old man saw that the family was persuading him, and said reluctantly: "I know that you are all for my good, if I insist on not sitting, as if I am afraid of death, then sit down, I have let my old bones out!" ”

"Okay, I'll go buy a plane ticket tonight." Wang Quan saw that the old father looked like he was sacrificing himself, agreed with his opinion, and said happily.

The old man told his son: "Don't buy a sleeper when you buy a plane ticket, just buy a hard seat, if you really can't buy a standing ticket, you will be home in a while anyway." ”

Nian Jun covered his mouth and laughed again, and the old man taught his grandson unhappily: "Standing tickets must be cheaper than sleeper tickets, saving a penny is a penny, what are you laughing at!" ”

Wang Quan told his father that because there were only seats on the plane, there were no sleeper tickets and no standing tickets.

Nian Jun also said: "Flying, just sitting." ”

The old man came to the point and retorted to his grandson: "What you said is not right, everyone says to take the train, but the eldest son of your second uncle's family next door works in Shenzhen, and he goes home for the Spring Festival for two consecutive years, and he stands for thousands of miles and comes back." The last time I came to the city, your father took me to the department store, we were about to go up the stairs, next to a little girl said, Uncle, you are old, take the elevator upstairs! After entering the elevator, I didn't even see a bench inside, so I sat on the ground in the elevator, and the little girl who drove the elevator said, "Uncle, you can only stand in the elevator, you can't sit, otherwise there will be no place for others to stand in a while." I said you didn't let me 'take the elevator', why did you say that I could only stand? If it hadn't been for your father's persuasion of me, I would have had to quarrel with her, and your father is here, you ask him if there is such a thing. ”

Nian Jun looked at Wang Quan suspiciously.

Wang Quan blushed and nodded.

The old man suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Quan: "I'm going home, you can make a phone call and ask your cousin's granddaughter if there is anything wrong with it, and if she wants to bring anything home." ”

Wang Quan put down his rice bowl, sighed and said, "I was about to tell you that yesterday Yuexiu called me to tell me that their family was going back to their hometown today and may have left." A few days ago, when her lover was selling vegetables, the tricycle was not in the place, and it was taken away by the urban management personnel, he had no tools to make money, and he considered that the eldest child should go to elementary school this fall, so he asked Yuexiu to quit his job and go back to his hometown with the family. ”

"Some people in the city are too immoral, and the countrymen don't have enough land to plant, so they can't be allowed to come to the city to mix a bowl of rice. Some people in the city say that the country people don't understand the rules and love to take advantage. Last year, a few college students from the city went to our village to support the peasants, but when they arrived in the countryside they couldn't even tell the difference between horses and donkeys, and they couldn't figure out when to plant wheat and when to harvest cotton. The old man said angrily.

Wang Quan said: "Don't say that some people who were born and raised in the city can't understand many things when they go to the countryside, Nian Jun has lived in the countryside for a few years, and some things may not be able to understand now. ”

Nian Jun, who was eating with his head down, raised his face and glared at Wang Quan unhappily.

When the old man saw Wang Yueying go into the kitchen to serve soup, he lowered his voice and said to his son and grandson: "The most ridiculous thing is that they went to a professional cattle farmer's house, and a female college student saw a big bull raised by someone else, and pointed to the bull's egg. The female college student asked the owner of the cow, why don't you have the milk of your cows? ”

The old man's words made Wang Quan's face red, grinning and just "hehe", Nian Jun couldn't help laughing, and ran away with the bowl and had fun.

Wang Yueying brought the soup to the old man, and when she saw the strange expressions of their masters, she felt incomprehensible.

"What you are laughing at, what I say is the truth." The old man looked at his son and grandson, and then continued, "Let's talk about the things that people in the city say that country people like to take advantage of, there is a saying in our hometown, which is called 'If you don't eat for three days, you dare to do anything'." When people from the countryside go to the city to pick up garbage, collect waste, sell vegetables and fruits, bargain with the city people, and fight for every penny, that is the persecution of life. They sometimes do petty theft, and most of them do it because they can't get on with it. Tell me, who has the food and drink to do something that is disgraceful? If the city people go to the country, the country people always treat them as guests; If the countrymen come to the city, they will always guard them off as thieves, do you make sense of that? ”

The old man said, and when he was emotional, he put down his chopsticks and continued: "The countrymen also know that the streets of the city are full of money, and you can pick up a small ticket by bending down once. Because people in the city can only let you pick up small money and change, and will not let you pick up big money and whole money. When your money bag is full of small tickets, you will become an inferior Luo Guo waist, and you will be looked down upon everywhere. You are all raised by coarse tea and light rice in the countryside, don't forget your roots, meet the countrymen who go to the city, don't give them money to spend, don't give them food, it's always okay to give people a smile, and it's always okay to say a few words that are ambiguous! After living here for a while, I also know that it is not easy for you to live in the city, you can't afford to buy a new house, a big house, and now this house can live in for a long time. If you can't afford to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, you can also have a home-cooked meal to fill your stomach. I often tell some people that a wide house is wide, and no matter how much money a person makes, he can't buy a big house with many rooms and sleep in turns every night. If Yuexiu hadn't been forced to go back to her hometown, their family of four would have been very content to live in a house in the city. ”

Wang Quan said to the old man: "Dad, we all remember what you said, people like me who grew up in the countryside, the blood that flows out of the veins has a bloody smell, and I can't forget the ancestors who farmed the land, and I forgot my roots from the generation of Nianjun." ”

Nian Jun, who had just returned to the dining table to eat, listened to Wang Quan's words, and said with an unhappy face: "Dad, when you talk to others in the future, don't always take me with you." ”

As he spoke, he put some vegetables in his bowl and went to the side to eat alone.

Wang Yueying was also dissatisfied and said to Wang Quan: "My son didn't recruit you to provoke you, don't always find fault with him." ”

Wang Quan was bored, bowed his head to eat, and stopped talking.
