Chapter 39: Second Grandfather
Qin Yike came on a trip that said go, Deng Caijie went to work, she said to Qin Weiqiang, packed a backpack, and got on the bus back to Xiushui Town.
The drive from the county seat to Xiushui is about 40 minutes, and the bus stops and goes, so it takes some time to waste. If you drive yourself, it won't take you 30 minutes.
At the end of the afternoon, Qin Yike got off the bus at the terminal.
The scenery of the town does not seem to have changed much, and the familiar streetscape and the scenes in the memory slowly overlap and merge.
Qin Yike breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found a place for her soul, she didn't know whether it was the original owner who affected her emotions, or the scarred self in her previous life, she only knew that standing in this familiar and unfamiliar place, it seemed that all the past and burdens had been thrown away by her.
With a relaxed step, Qin Yike walked towards the place that gave her warmth and joy in her memory. The street was old and narrow, but a sense of kindness came to him, and not far away, a thick willow tree appeared in Qin Yike's sight.
This willow tree has lush branches and leaves, and the trunk can barely be enclosed by two people, it is the star of Xiushui Town, with a history of 100 years, and more interestingly, it belongs to the private sector.
There was a table next to the big willow tree, on which were placed several wine jars and tools for making wine, and on the rattan chair behind the table lay a person, who was wearing a windbreaker on a cold day, but his face was covered with a large fan.
Qin Yike couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, "Boss, drink." ”
"Hey!" The boss answered, slowly took down the pu fan, sat up and looked at Qin Yike.
At this glance, he was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? You are...... You are the granddaughter of Uncle Jian's family! ”
Qin Yike bent the corners of his mouth, "Uncle Fang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you haven't thrown this big pu fan yet?" ”
"Haha, I can't throw it away, I have to hold it for the rest of my life! When did you come back, didn't you say that you were going to school in the capital? ”
"I've graduated, take advantage of the time now, come back to see my second grandfather."
"Okay, you girl has a conscience. Your second grandfather often talks about you! ”
Qin Yike nodded, "Uncle Fang, give me a small jar of wine, and I'll buy half a duck back in a while." ”
"Okay, but you have to persuade your second grandfather to order, he has not been as good as before in recent years, don't drink too much." He quickly took a small jar of wine, put it into a sturdy bag, and gave it to Qin Yike.
Qin Yike thanked the owner for his kindness, took out a few red tickets and handed them over.
"Hey, you are a well-developed child, and you still need to get so much money to buy wine from my small workshop?"
"Uncle Fang laughed, I didn't play in your small workshop when I was a child, and I know that your wine is very particular. This money is the wine money bet on you, if my second grandfather is hungry for wine, you can give him some money, not more, at most two taels. ”
The boss thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll take it, you kid has a heart." ”
Qin Yike didn't pass the boss of the house, turned another corner, and went to the small shop on the street to buy half a roast duck, half a catty of vegetarian dishes and some cooked food.
She carried her things, walked faster and faster, and soon stood in front of the familiar courtyard.
The iron gate is still the same as in memory, but it seems to be a little older, the word Fu on the door has changed color, and the tall wall in memory has become a lot shorter.
She grew up, so the streets narrowed, the walls became shorter, and the omnipotent second grandfather also grew old.
Qin Yike pushed open the door and saw the small vegetable garden that was a little depressed, and his nose became sour again.
In my memory, the original owner liked to go to the field with a straw hat and the second grandfather to pick vegetables, the cucumbers, red tomatoes, and the strawberries that the second grandfather specially planted for her.
Qin Yike walked into the house quickly and went straight to the east house.
Qin Jianshe was eating, and there was a small kang table on the kang, a plate of fried soybean sprouts with meat, a bowl of sauce, two cucumbers, a few green onions, and a bowl of rice was considered dinner.
Qin Yike's tears were about to fall.
"Why are you here?" Qin Jianshe looked back and saw Qin Yike, and half of the cucumber in his hand was frightened.
"You old man, you just take care of yourself?"
Qin Jianshe grinned, "I'm older, it's good to eat light." ”
"I bought wine, and roast duck, can I drink some?"
Qin Jianshe pursed his lips, "You girl, you know that you are hungry for me, hurry up." ”
Qin Yike put down the bag, washed his hands and went to the bowl shelf in the outhouse, took the dishes and plates, put all the things he bought into it, took off his shoes and went to the kang to eat.
"Why buy these old ones, you can't eat them and waste them."
"Why can't you eat it! I've got a lot of food right now. Qin Yike poured Qin Jianshe a glass of wine, poured another glass for himself, and smelled it, "The wine in the Fang family's workshop is still the same as before, and it hasn't changed at all." ”
Qin Jianshe was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Qin Yike had secretly drunk his wine when he was a child, and he got drunk after drinking, and slept for a day and a night, which scared him stupid. As a result, since this girl beat her, she seems to have dried up with the Fang family's wine, so she pouted a little bit when she had nothing to do, and when she went home, she had already practiced some alcohol.
"How much can you drink now?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Definitely better than you can drink!"
"Blow it!" Qin Jianshe blew his beard and glared, "You can still drink me!?" ”
"You're not young, you drink too much and hurt your body, drink less."
Qin Jianshe smiled and clinked glasses with Qin Yike, "Okay, I remember." ”
Both of them took the amount and drank a little wine, and ate a lot of dishes.
"Didn't you go to college in the capital, why did you run home?"
"It's not easy to mix in the capital! The big hospitals don't look down on me, and the money earned by the small hospitals is only enough to eat and take the subway, and there is not a penny left. Qin Yike said: "In my mother's words, if you work there, you can't afford to buy a house for the rest of your life." ”
Qin Jianshe nodded, "It's good to come back, I went to the capital to study for several years, and it can be regarded as a long experience." How nice it is to have a home, full of acquaintances. ”
"Second grandfather, how have you been doing in the past few years? Still living on farming? ”
"I'm a bad old man, I want to go out to work to earn money, and people don't want me!"
Qin Yike served him vegetables, "How much land is there at home, can you grow it alone?" ”
"I originally had seven acres in my hands, but later I rented a few acres of land, planted some corn, high grain, and planted some vegetables in the front and back gardens, which was basically enough to live. How much can I eat alone? All you need is a house to live in, clothes to wear, and food to eat! ”
He is content, although he has no children and no daughters in his life, but he has granddaughters! This girl has a conscience, as long as she comes to see herself on vacation, her life is worth it.
"That's a low demand!" Qin Yike raised his wine glass and asked him, "You don't have any wishes?" Don't want to live in a big house, don't want to drive a car, and the house is lively every day? ”
"I've got one foot in the coffin, what do I want a big house or a small car?" Qin Jianshe looked up at Qin Yike, "But if you want to talk about your wish, I really have a wish." ”
"What is it?"
