Chapter 5 Gifts
The gurgling river flowed through, and at the intersection of the bridgehead of Shangyun Village, a black Toyota Crown was parked at the intersection, and the golden sunlight fell on the streamlined metal body, which was particularly dazzling.
Compared with many popular Jetta, Alto, Santana and other models at this time, the crown is undoubtedly quite eye-catching. Especially in places like Shangyun Village, Xiushui County, even if many people don't know the car logo, the rounded model and length can make many people who have never seen anything in the world feel an impact.
The first few years of the millennium were also the years when the population of Xiushui County began to flow out in large numbers, ranging from working on floor tiles, working in factories, opening grocery stores, and selling grocery stores, to starting factories, contracting projects, and opening companies.
Many people were no longer staring at the one-third of an acre of land in front of them, but one by one, and began to run outside in groups.
Trees die, people live, ancient and modern.
Chen Yunbo sat in the driver's seat, the window fell, and he had already greeted several acquaintances one after another, the kind of envious eyes of others, or occasionally sighing that the Chen brothers had great potential, all made him feel a little satisfied.
To be honest, there are a lot of people who have gone out in Xiushui County over the years, but most of them are still at the bottom of the city.
In the past few days, he has basically been wandering around the county government, eating one after another, pushing cups and changing lamps, all of which want them to come back and return to their hometown.
The geographical location of Xiushui County is embarrassing, not to mention the train airport, even the high-speed has to wait for the above planning and then planning, and there are too few things that can be taken in Xiushui County, several large taxpayers in the county are not allowed to enter the big city, the kind of biochemical plant that is very polluting, there is a section, and it is a foul smell before entering the factory.
"I'll be back in the future!" Chen Yunbo rubbed his temples, sighed silently, touched the cigarette in his trouser pocket, glanced at his wife who was poking her head out of the window next to him, pursed his lips, and slowly retracted his hand.
"Zixi, what are you still doing there, hurry up and get in the car and go."
Huang Hongying poked her head out of the co-pilot, looked at the two figures standing under the camphor tree at the intersection of the bridgehead, and shouted loudly.
"Mom, wait a minute." The girl's voice floated over, but the person did not move.
"What are you waiting for on such a hot day?" Huang Hongying roared dissatisfiedly.
"Now, what are you anxious about, let her just say the conversation."
Chen Yunbo on the side looked a little unsightly, they were all neighbors, his wife was babbling, she had done too much, and her face was really not good-looking.
"Tell me, we've been away from home all these years, you know what." Huang Hongying glared back at her husband without showing weakness, her husband had been in the county for a few days, and she had no home, and she had already held back the fire in her belly.
Chen Yunbo frowned, a little helpless for a while, but he didn't think deeply about where his wife's nameless fire came from. Instead, he thought that his eldest daughter had stayed in his hometown since she was a child to follow her parents, although there was no shortage of food and clothing, and the economy was becoming more and more prosperous, but he really couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
He also understands his wife's mentality, so he can only persuade him gently, "The children are young, you are worrying, we have not been at home in the past few years, and we have been separated from Zixi." Anyway, after going to Lin'an, I may come back for the New Year's holidays in the future. ”
On the side of the road, Chen Zixi was wearing a light-colored dress, with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Qin's panting appearance, his originally anxious face burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry, I almost didn't catch up!"
Ye Qin gasped, touched the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and opened a plastic bag he was carrying.
"Now, do you see?"
"Bayberry?!" Chen Zixi looked at the contents through the mouth of the bag, and suddenly exclaimed happily, "Ye Qin, when did you go to pick it?" Funyama? ”
The bag is filled with bright and plump bayberry, some with broken green branches and leaves, and it can be seen that the harvest may have been a little hasty.
"Hmm." Ye Qin calmed his breath, nodded slightly, and didn't explain much, just handed the bag in his hand to Chen Zixi.
The corners of Chen Zixi's mouth drew an arc, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a crescent moon. Boat Mountain is a slightly boat-shaped mountain in the middle of the middle of the other side of the river, which she has been there before, not too far, but definitely not close.
It's only nine o'clock in the morning, and according to the round-trip distance plus the time of picking bayberry, Ye Qin will get up at about five or six o'clock no matter what he says.
She didn't immediately reach out to pick up the bag of bayberry in Ye Qin's hand, but turned her head and pulled open the small backpack behind her, and took out a small book-thick box from it.
"What is this?"
Ye Qin's expression was a little strange, but he didn't expect Chen Zixi to equip him with a gift, took the carton, weighed it gently, and reached out to open it.
"Oops, wait a minute." Chen Zixi hurriedly held down Ye Qin, "You can't dismantle it now, you can dismantle it when I get in the car and leave." ”
"Okay, okay."
Ye Qin stopped his movements, grinned, and smiled as always.
Looking at Chen Zixi's mother in the car in front of her, she poked her head out from time to time, looked here, and suddenly waved her hand gently, "It's hot, you get in the car quickly." ”
"Hmm." The girl's voice lowered slightly, and she didn't say anything more.
Quietly took the bag of bayberry in Ye Qin's hand, threw the backpack on his shoulder, and turned his head and walked towards the back seat of the car.
Ye Qin looked at the girl's back, pursed his lips, and exhaled silently.
Suddenly, Chen Zixi, who had already opened the car door and was about to get into the back seat, paused, did not look back, just turned his back to him, raised his right hand high, and waved it gently.
"Ye Chin, come on!"
For a moment, Ye Qin laughed.
That's his action.
The sound of the engine sounded, Ye Qin watched the car get on the bridge, went away, stood in a daze for a few minutes, shook his head, turned around and walked in the direction of his home.
The door is closed, grandparents are not at home, probably going to the vegetable field or somewhere, Ye Qin got up very early today, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Under the wooden tree at the door, Ye Qin pulled a low stool and sat down, there was a chirping sound in the tree, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and people were in the shade of the tree, which was exceptionally cool and comfortable.
Ye Qin looked at the small cardboard box with a beautiful bow in his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly.
Chen Zixi will share some things with him from time to time since he was a child, when he was very young, it was a toy, and when he was older, it might be a gadget gift bought in Linzhou, but it seems to be the first time to use such a careful package.
When I opened the ribbon of the carton, I was greeted by a black notebook.
"This Nizi ......"
Ye Qin looked at the black notebook with some amusement, the notebook is black soft leather, and there is a metal button on the back, which looks like it is used in many business offices, which is relatively high-end.
Opening the metal button, Ye Qin flipped through the notebook casually, and suddenly a few pieces of red paper slipped down.
Ye Qin looked at the red producers and was stunned for a moment, and then saw a white card in a few reds, the words were written on the card, Ye Qin took it in his hand, gently rubbed the card, and looked at it seriously.
The words are not very beautiful, but they are clearly written stroke by stroke, and they read:
"This is my New Year's money, you remember to pay me back in the future! Ye Chin, you must go to high school and then be admitted to college! ”
At the end of the card there is a small clenched fist drawn with watercolor pencils.
Yechin, come on!
