Chapter 141: Stealing sweet potatoes in the middle of the night
The young people in the village basically go out to work, only during the New Year or some major festival can go home to have a look, usually it is difficult to come back, so it is only after eight o'clock that the village has turned off the lights and quietly, the hard-working villagers who have been busy for a day go to bed early, and tomorrow, they have to step on the dawn of dawn to go out to work.
After returning home, Zeng Jun's parents were immediately busy again, Zeng Dad was busy feeding the cows, Zeng Ma didn't even have time to feed the chickens, and was busy in the kitchen saying that she wanted to bathe the ice blue hot water, Zeng Jun did not install a water heater at home, and the two elders usually relied on a pot to boil hot water for bathing.
Zeng Jun arranged for Binglan to sit down in the living room and then walked into the kitchen and asked, "Mom, didn't I ask you to install a water heater when I remitted a sum of money to you last time?" ”
The wrinkles on Zeng's mother's face relaxed, and she replied with a smile: "I asked your dad to ask, the cheapest one to install a water heater costs more than 700, and you have to pay the electricity bill every month, how can it be wasted there, the money you gave us is all earned by you outside the hard-earned outside, and I will let your dad save it for you to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law in the future." I asked Wanghua of your sixth uncle's family next door, he said that the cheapest houses in Guangzhou are now more than 20,000 yuan, how can you save enough money alone, we can save a little, if Guangzhou can't afford to buy it in the future, go back to Liuzhou to buy, your uncle said that the development of Liuzhou is also very good, the house price is only more than 4,000, which is cheaper than the county seat in some places. ”
Zeng Jun's voice was a little choked: "Mom, you are all old, you should enjoy Qingfu at home, I don't need to worry about my affairs, I can handle it myself." ”
Bing Lan didn't know when he was already standing behind Zeng Jun, and said: "Auntie, yes, you don't have to worry about Zeng Jun's affairs, although you can rest assured that the money he sent you is not enough, ask him for it, don't worry, I will give him the salary in a year, not to mention buying a suite in Guangzhou, even buying a villa is more than enough, and when he stabilizes and buys a house, I will ask him to take you to Guangzhou to enjoy happiness." ”
Zeng's mother's eyes widened: "The salary is so high, what does your company do?" The little girl and aunt have never seen anything in the world, and I don't know what business can be so profitable now, but there is something illegal that we can't do. ”
Bing Lan's face suddenly showed a life-threatening smile and flew from behind Zeng Jun to help light the fire, but he choked on the smoke and coughed violently, "Auntie, cough...... You see...... Ahem, am I like a bad person? Cough...... Our company is doing network engineering, if you don't know what network engineering is, you can ask Wanghua next door to know, in short, it is very profitable, Zeng Jun studied computer science in college, it is just right to do this, he is now the backbone of our department, so in addition to me, he makes the most money. ”
Zeng's mother was skeptical: "Learning computers is so profitable? Then why did Junjun say that he couldn't find a job and went to the construction site to move bricks. ”
"You don't know this, your son won't say it when he goes to the interview honestly, and people don't know if he has a level, if he hadn't met me, this kid might still be moving bricks at that construction site and coming back without a face."
"Oh, then thank you manager, you come into the house to sit, I'll come here, you won't burn this kind of stove, I see you choking out of tears, what Xiaojun, hurry up and call your manager into the house to sit and pour tea."
Zeng Jun had to pull Binglan out, thinking about it and thinking that it was not good to do nothing, so he arranged for Binglan to sit down and wanted to feed the chickens, but after looking for a long time, he didn't know where the rice bran was, and asked Zeng's mother to get the answer that you don't have to feed, treat your manager well, and it is not easy for people to come all the way to our small ravine.
As a result, I finally found the rice bran, and when I went to the backyard with a flashlight to pick vegetables, I was dumbfounded, how cute those thriving little green vegetable leaves looked, and they looked more beautiful than the so-called pollution-free vegetables that I bought for a few dollars a pound in the city, and I couldn't shine a single vegetable leaf that looked like it was used to feed the chickens for a long time.
"You've been out for a long time, where will you do this, I'll come, I'll come." It was Zeng's father's voice, who picked a few vegetables casually and looked up to Zeng Jun and said, "Let's go." ”
After taking it back, Bing Lan's eyes widened and pointed to the green vegetables that grew tender and watery, and said, "Uncle, you usually feed this to the chickens?" ”
"Yes, the countrymen are reluctant to spend money on feed, so they are fed with vegetable leaves and rice bran."
"Good fellow, your chickens eat better than we do."
The manager laughed.
"I mean seriously, you ask Zeng Jun how he can eat such good vegetables in the city."
……
At night, Bing Lan was arranged to sleep in the room next to Zeng Jun, this house was built by Zeng's father when he was young, he went out to work to make money and came back, after the house was built, he was introduced to Zeng's mother by relatives, and it didn't take long for Zeng's mother to be taken into the door.
Lying on the bed, Zeng Jun looked at the ceiling with his eyes and couldn't sleep for a long time, his grandmother bent his back into parallel, his parents were rough like withered branches and their faces were covered with weather, and his slightly stiff body kept swaying in front of him like a movie. They have all worked hard all their lives, but now they still have to worry about themselves, thinking about the time when they were studying, they took their parents' hard-earned living expenses and went out from time to time.
After lying on the bed for two or three hours and still unable to sleep, Zeng Junsuo got up and put on a dress and went to the balcony to blow the wind. On the balcony stood a beautiful figure, staring at the stars in a daze.
"Can't sleep?"
"No, get up and breathe fresh air, listen to the insects by the way, look at the stars or something, Guangzhou can't breathe this kind of high-quality air, and there is no such a quiet and tranquil night scene."
"Also, the sky in Guangzhou is covered with smoke and dust, and it would be hellish if you could see the stars."
"I'm hungry, let's get something to eat."
"Damn, you didn't say you were full at the banquet."
"Where, as soon as I came up, I ate two pieces of button meat, and I was tired of eating any delicacies and seafood, and only drank a small half bowl of green vegetable soup, but the button meat was really delicious, I had never eaten such delicious meat, compared to those high-end hotels in Guangzhou, the things in the hotel are simply garbage."
"You don't want to think about it, those pigs are raised with green organic food."
"Migrant workers, I want to eat sweet potatoes." An evil smile appeared on Bing Blue's face.
Zeng Jun was shocked: "You ...... How do you know there's such a thing.
"Before I went to bed, I called an employee of our company, he is also from your side, it seems to be from the next county, he told me, saying that when you were young, you went to herd cattle and knew that you stole other people's sweet potatoes to eat in the kiln."
"Well, you've beaten me." Zeng Jun showed a wry smile.
A few minutes later, the two of them crept downstairs and secretly opened the door and went out, turning on a flashlight and coming to the vegetable garden in the backyard.
"We have sweet potatoes in our house." After looking for it, Zeng Jun said.
"What do you see there?" Bing Lan asked with a flashlight on a lushly growing sweet potato leaf in the vegetable garden of Zeng Junliu's house next door.
"Damn, you even know sweet potato leaves."
"You think I'm an alien, why don't we go over and steal some?"
"Not good, it's honestly not a good boy to steal."
"You have never been a good child, and my grandmother said that you were very naughty when you were a child, and you don't know how many things you did in the village."
"Okay, don't blow up my **, can't I let it out?"
Ice Blue made a triumphant gesture.
After the two of them went into the vegetable garden next door and dug up a few sweet potatoes, they actually went directly to "the scene of the crime, found some dirt, built a small earthen kiln, went home, brought some dry firewood, and came over to make a fire and raise sweet potatoes."
Bing Lan has never done this kind of thing, she has been in a state of excitement from beginning to end, wiping the fine sweat oozing from her face with her dirty hands from time to time, making a delicate face dirty like a little flower cat, Zeng Jun used her mobile phone to take pictures of it with the light of a flashlight to show her, which made Bing Lan want to laugh and was afraid that the laughter would wake up others and cause "the crime to be revealed", so he covered his mouth and endured it desperately.
After the sweet potato kiln was ready, Bing Lan only ate half of it and said that he was full, and the rest was all pushed to Zeng Jun, Zeng Jun ate a lot of delicious food at his grandmother's house in the evening, where can he eat so much, and the two bold young men finally took the remaining "stolen goods" home and planned to keep them for breakfast the next day.
……
"Which naughty little ghost ......" Early in the morning, the sixth aunt found out that her vegetable field had been ravaged, and before she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Zeng Jun standing on her balcony stretching her waist, "Junjun is back, when will he get home?" ”
"Oh, Auntie, I arrived at almost eight o'clock last night."
"Oh, no wonder your sixth uncle said that he saw a small car parked in your yard, and he was really promising, and he even bought a small car after graduating for a few months, you see that our family Wanghua went out to work for a few years and was still poor, so I said that it was better to study, they didn't believe it."
Zeng Jun could only smile bitterly, the so-called intellectual youth cultivated by the current education system are just migrant workers in the new era, but how to explain these things to these honest uncles and aunts?
Originally, Zeng Jun planned to eat breakfast early in the morning and go on the road, but at Binglan's request, he stayed for one more day, accompanied Binglan to herd the cattle for half a day, and went to the primary school where he read when he was a child.
The people in the village were hardworking and went to work in the fields early, and they didn't meet a few people in the village, which avoided a lot of embarrassment.
Early in the morning of the third day, ready to go back to Guangzhou, Zeng's mother caught two chickens and packed dozens of eggs for Binglan to take back, the two of them were desperately pushing each other, Zeng Jun's sixth uncle came over, and brought a basket of sweet potatoes that had just been dug out of the vegetable field and washed and were still dripping with water, and said before entering the door: "Junjun, this is going back to work, and I won't stay for two more days, there are no good things in our house, you like to eat this, I dug some for you to bring back." ”
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Bing Lan on the side, and was shocked: "Where did such a beautiful little girl come from, she looks like a star on TV, the star is not so beautiful, it's your girlfriend, when will you come back and get married?" ”
"Ah...... Oh, this ......"
"Uncle is so good, we stole your things, and your old man found out, not only did he not blame him, but he also gave us so, that ...... It's almost time, and then the aunt will make a big red envelope. Bing Lan suddenly left Zeng Jun's mother over, holding Zeng Jun with one hand and picking up the basket of sweet potatoes with the other.
