Chapter 45: Dad just wants her to be well
Qinglian knew that her father had seen the scene just now. But the father and daughter tacitly didn't mention it.
It's been three days since she left home, and Qinglian's first move when she got home was to lift the straw mat of the garlic warm shed and open the plastic sheet to see the growth of garlic. I almost screamed at the sight.
In the simple greenhouse, she watched her garlic grow neatly to ten centimeters long, and the tender yellow garlic exuded its unique scent, which made Qinglian's heart relaxed and excited.
With long hair like this, it can be sold for money in less than a week.
She poured water on the garlic again, and came out happily, and her father was waiting for her outside with a bowl of brown sugar water.
She drank all the brown sugar water in one gulp, hugged her father excitedly and jumped a high, and said with a smile: "Dad, we are going to get rich......"
He Hongshan had a sadness hidden in his eyes, but he reluctantly smiled and said, "Good things, good things." But ......"
He coughed and said with difficulty: "You can go see your grandmother tomorrow." ”
Qinglian understood her father's thoughts, and she nodded "um".
The little sister was discharged from the hospital, and the uncle's family rushed to inquire as soon as they heard the news, and the neighbors also came to visit. It's all pity for children, so it's not empty-handed, you take a dozen eggs, I take a bag of sugar, the scene is very warm.
Qinglian was very grateful to her neighbors, so she borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, opened the gift given by the explosive head, and took out some for everyone as a return gift.
Honglian and Mulian have been crying anxiously at home these days, and they are very happy to see that their little sister is back, and the two of them are reluctant to leave their little sister for a moment, and they are vying to soak her feet after dinner.
He Hongshan quietly stuffed a bag of raisins into his bag. Seeing Qinglian looking at him, he said a little apologetically: "Qinglian, it's not that Dad doesn't care for your sisters, it's that your mother likes to eat this raisin, but Dad has no ability, and she is reluctant to eat it after so many years with me." I just have money in my hand to buy it for her, and she also took it to your grandmother's house, and I know that she can't eat any of them. ”
Qinglian walked up to her father, and quietly asked her father with a few younger sisters on her back: "Dad, do you miss my mother?" ”
He Hongshan turned his head away, paused for a moment and said, "Dad just wants her to be well." ”
Qinglian listened to her father's words, she was moved and sad, she asked softly: "Then if my mother is willing to come back, can you still accept her?" ”
He Hongshan smiled sadly, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Qinglian asked in a dumb voice, "Why?" ”
He Hongshan sighed deeply and said: "At the beginning, I knew that your mother didn't like me, but I thought that if I was good to her, she would be moved by me, and she would slowly live with me." But I thought wrong, after so many years, I gave birth to the four of you, and your mother's heart is not here, and after 18 years, she still left me. Think about how painful she has been with me in the past 18 years...... Finally, she left me, left our family, how could my father let her come back. ”
Qinglian nodded and said, "That's what Dad said." ”
He Hongshan suddenly slammed his fist on the table and cursed viciously: "Who knew that person turned out to be a soft egg, he was actually sentenced to be a woman who cared about her for half her life!" ”
Qinglian also hated her teeth in her heart, but she still sneered and said, "It's my mother's blindness, I deserve it." ”
When I woke up the next day, Qinglian remembered the garlic that was about to grow, put on a cotton jacket and was about to go into the greenhouse to check it, but when I lifted the grass felt, I found that my father was already squatting inside.
"Dad, what are you?" Qinglian asked in surprise.
He Hongshan smiled and said: "I got up early in the morning to see, this garlic seedling is really growing very well, my daughter is really capable, and she actually planted garlic seedlings in winter hahaha." ”
Qinglian said happily: "That's, who is your daughter?" But your daughter. ”
"Hahaha......" the father and daughter laughed happily.
Qinglian suddenly straightened her face and corrected her father and said: "Let me tell you again, this is not called garlic sprouts, this is called garlic yellow, garlic sprouts are green, this is yellow, and they taste different from garlic sprouts." ”
He Hongshan smiled and said: "Okay, well, listen to my daughter, call garlic yellow not garlic seedlings." Wow, aren't they all sprouts from garlic, and the taste can be different? ”
Qinglian touched the soft garlic with her hand and said, "Wait, let you taste it first, you will know that it tastes different from garlic sprouts." ”
"Mm-hmm, I'm waiting to eat the fresh vegetables that my daughter grows." He Hongshan said happily.
Qinglian smiled proudly: "Don't worry, let our family eat enough." ”
He Hongshan thought about it and asked: "By the way, Qinglian, how much are you going to sell for this garlic yellow catty?" Does anyone buy it? ”
Qinglian thought about it and said, "Of course, it has to be more expensive than cabbage radish, because this is a rare dish." Of course, it can't be sold in our market, we rural people just have radish and cabbage to eat, who is willing to buy vegetables to eat, at least have to go to the county to sell. ”
He Hongshan agreed, and said with some worry: "This county is forty or fifty miles away from us, and it takes time on the road, not to mention that we are not familiar with the county seat, where can we sell it?" I heard that the places that sell vegetables in the county charge a fee. ”
This Qinglian really didn't think about it seriously. The county seat is so far away, you have to leave early to sell garlic, but now the car to the county seat in the countryside is only two times a day, one trip at 8 o'clock in the morning, one trip at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and wait for the car to arrive at the county seat at 8 o'clock, it is half noon, and it is not delayed to sell vegetables.
If the ox cart at home is very slow, the uncle's family has a donkey, but the donkey is not resistant to running, and it will have to rest for a while...... Suddenly, Qinglian's eyes widened: Didn't Li Yifei's family have a mule.
Mules are the most durable. Moreover, Li Yifei's father specializes in pouring wheat bran from the county, and Li Yifei usually resells wheat bran with his father. Then he must be familiar with the county seat.
Qinglian suppressed the excitement in her heart, and deliberately said with a sad face: "Yes, Dad, I really haven't thought about this, well, it would be nice if there were acquaintances in our county, but we don't have acquaintances." ”
He Hongshan remembered the incident of meeting the young man with an explosive head in the county hospital, so he smiled bitterly and said: "The county is not as good as our rural areas, the city people bully us countrymen, and I think it is difficult for our old farmers to earn money from the city people, or sell it in the market near us, and it will be cheaper, anyway, we don't spend much money." ”
Qinglian immediately said resolutely: "That's not good, my garlic is the first one, I have to sell it for a good price." Dad, don't worry about it, I think of a way, anyway, it will take a few days for the garlic to come out of the shed. ”
He Hongshan frowned and nodded.
Qinglian whispered to her father: "Dad, let's cook, don't I have to go to my grandmother's house in a while." ”
As soon as he said that this father had nothing to think about, Mali helped his daughter build the greenhouse and went to cook in a hurry.
Qinglian thought of her mother and thought in her heart: I don't know how my mother is now?
