Chapter 110: Waiting
Unlike the Qi family, who generally praised Shen Mengxi's heroic feats, Old Man Qi said to his granddaughter in private, "You kid, you are not afraid that you will be abducted!" β
Shen Mengxi smiled but did not speak.
"Ugh." Old Man Qi has some contradictions in his heart, they are all his grandchildren, but the ones who grew up in front of him are still different, "Lao He has a lot of family affairs, don't get involved." If you borrow someone else's light, you have to follow the hanging of eating others. Your third uncle is not, someone saved his life, and he was implicated decades later. That's how God arranges things in the world. β
Shen Mengxi nodded.
"It's not that you don't care about anything coldly, what you mean is that you have to learn to protect yourself first."
"Well, in the future, I will do everything to ensure my safety first, and then do what I can."
"That's right! That's what it means. Old Man Qi touched his granddaughter's pigtails, "What's the matter, just do your best, don't go in by yourself!" Even for grandpa! Remember! β
This is something that only a loved one can say.
"That, the big yellow dog of Lao Jia's family is dead." Old Man Qi hesitated and said.
Shen Mengxi's smile twitched.
"And then."
Old Man Qi knew what his granddaughter wanted to know, "It's old and dead." Lao Jiatou's son wanted to peel the skin and eat meat, and his grandson, the one who jumped off the house, said why not let him, said that he was going to be buried, and almost let his father beat him. Later, it was Lao Jia who said the first sentence and asked his grandson to carry the dog away in a car, and he didn't know where he was buried. said that he was afraid that he would bury it close, so his father would dig it out and eat it. β
Shen Mengxi's tears welled up, and he couldn't say what it felt like in his heart.
"Why don't you go find that kid and let him show it to you?" Old Man Qi wiped his granddaughter's eyes with his big hand, Shen Mengxi felt the temperature of his dry and warm palm, tilted his head and touched it, and said, "I won't go, in case the place is exposed, it will not be good for people to dig it out." β
Old Man Qi looked at his granddaughter's crying and laughing expression, and he was very distressed.
"Zhuzhu, people are like animals, when it's time to go, they all have to go. The king of Hades told him to go for the third watch, who dared to keep people until the fifth watch. "Old Man Qi thought of his old horse and sighed leisurely.
In fact, getting along with animals is easier to develop feelings than getting along with people.
"Zhuzhu, I have to rely on myself in the future, and I can't count on others." Old Man Qi suddenly changed the subject.
Shen Mengxi thought for a while, and then understood what he meant, this was because she was afraid that she would rely on her merits in saving people, and she would rely too much on the power of the He family in the future, and not want to forge ahead.
"You'd better listen. Now that I'm old, I can't speak well, and your dad and they don't listen to me anymore. Old Man Qi muttered, rolled a cigarette, and his cigarette pouch and pot, because the smell of cigarette pouch oil was too strong, had been voted out by the whole family unanimously.
"I listen to grandpa for everything." Shen Mengxi leaned against him and sat down, stretched out his hand to snatch his cigarette, "The cigarette pouch pot can still filter the e-cigarette oil, this cigarette is even yellow, there are three cigarettes a day, not one more." β
Old Man Qi didn't plan to smoke in front of his granddaughter, so he obediently left him at his mercy.
"Wei Dong is getting married, and next year our family will be the fifth generation in the same house." Shen Mengxi wanted to say something happy.
"Well, I don't care about the next life in this life, and I just fool me by saying that I am asking for my opinion. Nowadays, when choosing a daughter-in-law, you have to pick a good-looking one, and if you have a job, you have to pick one who is virtuous, who can give birth to children, and who can take care of housework. Alas, when your grandfather was alive, no one dared to disobey him until he died, you look at my life like this" Old Man Qi said a bunch of grumbling regardless of whether his granddaughter could understand it or not. "Your grandmother left first and threw me down, and she doesn't like to listen to me whin." Old Man Qi looked at Kangqin and fell into deep thought.
Yes, times are changing. In the future, it will be the world of young people.
And the elderly, once they feel that they are no longer needed, will become indignant, lost, and depressed.
"No, the whole family is counting on you to show you the way!" Shen Mengxi smiled and teased the old man, "Show you the photos I took this time, now the road is good, in October, the third aunt can come back, and she also said that she will take you to live in Harbin City for a few months."
Qi Baoliang and his family took Qi Wei's family to grill meat skewers for a month, but finally gave up.
First, Qi Baoliang felt that he still couldn't wipe off his face, many acquaintances came to eat meat skewers, but he had to sweat profusely to serve the barbecue, he felt embarrassed; The second is that he thinks the smell of smoke is too strong, too smoky, and he heard that he will get lung cancer if he smells too much, so he decisively gave up and continued to go home to farm.
Qi Wei's family ate meat skewers for a month, gained weight again, and ate enough meat, so they didn't do anything with Shen Mengxiti anymore. Zhang Fengling didn't say a word, and their family didn't even return the barbecue stove.
Qi Weidong's fiancΓ©e is from the county cultural center, called Jin Ping, one year younger than Qi Weidong, 22 years old, the two have been together for more than a year, and both families feel good, so they set a wedding date.
Qi Weidong now works at the forestry station in Xiangyang Township, and can only return to the county two days a week.
But Qi Youheng has a close relationship with Gao Qingfeng, the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau, and after knowing Qi Weidong's situation, he gave him a house in the county, although it is an old earthen house, but it is much stronger than his peers, and Jin Ping is also willing, it is much better than living in Taiping Village for four generations of grandparents.
The Qi family prepared a TV, a washing machine, a cassette recorder, a combination cabinet, a sofa, a watch, and a bicycle, half of which was paid by Qi Baoliang, and the rest was purchased by Qi Youde, and some were given by relatives.
Qi Youheng sent a washing machine.
Lu Xiuzhi was a little unhappy, "It's not our family to marry a daughter-in-law, are you taking a hundred yuan less?" Do you have to buy a washing machine? Two years later, his family Wei Qing got married, and his family still has no money, do you want to buy another TV? β
"His son, our family has four sons and one daughter, you don't pay." Qi Youheng said with a smile and his wife.
"Hmph, he's got to have that money, too." Lu Xiuzhi was still unhappy.
"How did you become like this now! That's my own nephew, the first nephew got married, what's wrong with me giving a washing machine? Are your nephews and nieces all married? Qi Youheng's voice was raised.
Qi Health stood up, "Don't make any noise. β
"Why not be noisy? Our boss still has one more gift, and the time our family owes them that time, it's not over, right? Lu Xiuzhi's voice was even higher.
"That's right! Just rushed to other people's children and almost died, you just owe someone a favor for the rest of your life! Qi Youheng slapped the table.
In the past few years, this is the first time Shen Mengxi has seen the two of them quarrel like this.
In the past six months, Qi Youheng has become authoritarian, and Lu Xiuzhi has become less easy-going and calm than before.
"It's not enough to kill people, there's no end to it!"
"It's you who have the end, it's you who brought it up!"
Shen Mengxi let out a breath, walked out of the house, and before going out, he took Qi Health Care away.
The two sat bored under the shade of the trees by the river, and a green caterpillar quietly climbed up Shen Mengxi's white shirt, and Qi Yiyi gently flicked it away. "Why aren't you looking for a partner?"
"Leave the kids alone."
"What kind of one are you looking for?"
"I don't know."
"Ahh I know! You have someone you like, don't you? You can't be a crush, right? Shen Mengxi sighed, pointing at Qi Health and shouting.
"Go! Sling the bull. Qi Jian looked at Jiang Shui, "When I was eighteen years old, I promised someone that I would not be able to fall in love and get married until five years later. β
"Why is that?" Shen Mengxi's mind is filled with various plot pictures. "Oh! You're in love! β
Qi Jian smiled, "Sort of, I haven't even pulled my hand." She followed her parents back to Shanghai, and she cried, saying that she would definitely come back to me and let me wait for her for five years. β
"And then you really waited?"
"It's not like waiting, I went to the army first, and I didn't meet the right one when I came back." Qi Jianxian's words were an understatement, and Shen Mengxi couldn't judge the truth of his words for a while.
"Do you like Qin Meiru's like that?"
"Why are you asking so much today, children, don't always care about these things."
"You say, do you like Qin Meiru's like that?"
"Han Bing likes her, I didn't think about it at all."
Shen Mengxi looked at this straight man, "Then Qin Meiru likes you, do you know?" β
"Yes." It's still light and light.
"There really are people like you." Shen Mengxi shook his head, "No wonder Han Bing is not jealous at all. β
