Chapter 9 The mother and son who love to deviate
"Mom, why did you suddenly want to open it?" Li Yun was very surprised by the change in her mother.
"For a while, I always heard the people next to me say that my daughter was a bunch of bad things or something, but I suddenly felt that your sister was right. As long as a girl has the ability and is happy, why do she have to get married. But why is that Ning Ye still single? His parents aren't in a hurry? After a pause, he said: "I can talk about the ugly things first, what does their family do, if you are divorced, you don't want to take it in front of Xiaoqiu." ”
"According to what you mean, those who have been divorced are crooked melons and cracked dates?"
"Why are you still talking too far? We're talking about your sister, I don't care what other people are looking for, how noble your sister is, there are many people like them, and then she is divorced, do you still want your sister to be pure? ”
"Mom, mom, mom, whoever wants to say that I am not your son is stupid, I have completely inherited your fine traditions." Li Yun continued to play with her mother.
"Such a big person, not in shape yet," Li Guangming walked in from outside and said.
Li Yun hurriedly got up and shouted "Dad", Zhang Heng smiled: "It's quite early to come back today." ”
"Didn't you say that Xiaoqiu came back for dinner, what about Xiaoqiu?" Li Guangming looked into the kitchen.
"Just called, on the way back." Li Yun replied immediately.
Li Guangming nodded, and asked again, "Who are you talking about just now?" ”
Zhang Heng glanced at Li Yun, and Li Yun immediately replied: "Mom, I look at their family and it seems to be quite simple, there are not so many things, and Ning Ye is also quite sunny." If you don't believe me, my dad must know something. Dad, did you say no? ”
"Who? Ning Ye? Isn't that the son of Secretary Hua's family? Anyway, I haven't heard any negative news, but it seems that I have said that I will come down to exercise for a while. Li Guangming replied casually, thought about it and asked, "What does this have to do with our family?" ”
Li Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked, "Is he going to our province for a temporary post?" ”
Li Guangming shook his head and said: "It's not finalized yet, but it shouldn't be a temporary post, it's a transfer." ”
"Ha, Mom, what did I say, this kid is really here, I said why did he collapse in front of him and not change his color, I gave him a lot of retreat, it's useless." Li Yun patted the armrest of the sofa and said.
"What are you doing, if you talk nonsense and affect Xiaoqiu's reputation, I won't be done with you." Li Yun saw Zhang Heng raise his eyebrows, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your daughter, all her bad is too good, just her good, nine out of ten men sigh to themselves, I just praise her, not praise, just tell the truth......" Li Yun saw that the more he said, the more wrong it became, and he couldn't wait to cover his mouth.
Li Guangming smiled and looked at his son and wife funny, and suddenly felt that the family had not been so lively for a long time. Li Yun saw that his mother's complexion changed again and again, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, I don't care, I asked Ning Ye to go to the mountain in a few days, whether it is good or bad, you can see for yourself." ”
"You kid, don't think about anything? We went to the mountains for the festival, what did you do if you invited him there? Zhang Hengnian muttered.
"It's nothing, isn't the festival just a fun one, besides, the two of them are not friends, between friends, there is not so much care." Li Guangming comforted his wife.
"I don't know that, but isn't it your business here, what will others say if they know? Say that our family has the heart to cling? Zhang Heng was even more puffed.
"You're thinking too much, too. I'll ask you, if you want to say that Xiaoqiu really likes someone who is really willing to marry, and the child is not bad, you still don't marry because you are afraid that others will say it? After so many years, you still don't know me, I actually prefer to find a university or somewhere to stay, we don't want that, there are not so many things. ”
Li Guangming finally let Zhang Heng not think about this stubble for the time being, and picked up the peeled chestnuts on the table and entered the kitchen. There was a fragrance on the stove, a small fire was swaying under the clay pot, and the strong aroma of chicken was wafting in the kitchen, Zhang Heng put the peeled half-cooked chestnuts into the clay pot, turned it twice with a wooden shovel, and the fragrance of osmanthus in the chestnuts quickly floated out, Zhang Heng imagined Zhang Shuqiu eating sweetly, bent the corners of his mouth and smiled, in a good mood.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, Xiaoqiu must like to eat it." Li Guangming rolled up his sleeves as he walked in, and asked again, "Is there anything else you can help with?" ”
"No, I'll fry two vegetables when Xiaoqiu comes back later, the cuttlefish and duck soup will be simmered in the afternoon, and the fish will be steamed when they can be fried." Zhang Heng lifted the lid of the soup pot and replied.
"It's rare for our family to have a meal together, and when Weiwei comes back with the child, we can be regarded as a family reunion." Li Guangming went to the sink and washed his hands while chatting with his wife.
"I want to discuss something with you, when Weiwei and the others come back, I'm afraid it's not good for us to live together, or let's move to the mountains and give this place to Li Yun." Zhang Heng said his plan.
Li Guangming was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Li Yun shouting loudly outside: "Oh, my dearest sister, you are finally back." ”
Zhang Heng and Li Guangming hurriedly went to the living room, only to see Li Yun at the corner of the entrance and the living room, and a bear hug hugged Zhang Shuqiu in his arms.
Zhang Heng walked next to the two of them, Zhang Shuqiu broke free from Li Yun's arms, Zhang Heng took Zhang Shuqiu's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time before saying: "Why are your lips so dry, your face is not very good, why do you take care of yourself so much." Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly turned Zhang Heng's shoulder and said, "Auntie, I'm fine, I just drank some wine with Yu Chuan last night." As he spoke, he raised his head and greeted Li Guangming who was standing outside the kitchen door: "Uncle, I got off work so early today." ”
Li Guangming nodded and said, "It's rare for our family to get together for a meal, and I'm here to help your aunt." As he spoke, he said to Li Yun: "Go and pour some water for your sister to drink, you sit down for a while, and I'll fry those two vegetables." ”
Zhang Shuqiu smiled: "I'll fry it, uncle." ”
Zhang Heng pulled Zhang Shuqiu and refused to let go: "Let him go, let's talk." ”
Li Yun stood next to him and shouted, "Dad, Dad, you spare us, we won't be able to get off the chopsticks later." ”
"Stinky boy, I don't like Lao Tzu's fried food, you can come by yourself."
"Okay, I'll let you try the specialty dishes of the famous chefs among the international students." Li Yun shouted.
"Auntie, why don't we go, otherwise the kitchen will be demolished later, and it will be troublesome to clean up." Zhang Shuqiu pulled Zhang Hengdao.
"Okay, I'll stir-fry, you give me a hand." Zhang Heng pulled Zhang Shuqiu into the kitchen.
Li Guangming looked at Li Yun, and Li Yun shrugged: "I'll pour water, pour water." ”
Zhang Heng lit the fire, turned on the range hood, turned his head to Zhang Shuqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, are you tired?" ”
"I'm not tired, I didn't get up until eleven o'clock." Zhang Shuqiu picked up the peas by the sink and put them next to Zhang Heng's hand.
"Why do you suddenly want to drink? Is there something wrong with Ogawa? Zhang Heng and Yu Chuan are also very familiar.
"It's not a big deal, I just haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk." Zhang Shuqiu suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Heng: "Auntie, you stir-fry the vegetables first, and I'll go to the car to get something." ”
Zhang Heng was about to say something, the oil in the pot began to smoke, she hurriedly poured the peas, Zhang Shuqiu ran to the living room and pulled Li Yun downstairs to get something.
When the dishes were fried, Li Guangming had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang Shuqiu and Li Yun took the wine out of the foam box that they moved from the car.
Zhang Heng was very surprised when he saw the two cans of mulberry wine: "Ah, this mulberry wine is rare now, where did this come from?" ”
"A friend who opened a restaurant gave it, it was made by the old man of their family, we drank a can yesterday, it tasted very good, and I put it in the car for a long time today, although I put two bags of ice into it when I left, but I don't know if it has changed its taste." Zhang Shuqiu's tone was a little regretful.
Zhang Heng took the wine glass, Li Yun poured half a glass into it, Zhang Heng put it under his nose and smelled it, and took a small sip, looking very happy: "No, no, it tastes very good, let's drink some, you father and son are casual yourself." ”
Li Guangming looked at Zhang Heng's glowing eyes, and smiled a little: "How old is you, you are still like a child, you are really going back more and more." ”
"You know what, I'm calling the younger you live." Zhang Heng smiled and took another cup over and poured wine for Zhang Shuqiu.
"Dad, as long as my mother can see Xiaoqiu, it will be thirty yesterday and eighteen today." Li Yun picked out a bottle of white wine, found the wine opener, and twisted it.
"Dare to love me, the elixir? Or is it the fruit of immortality? Zhang Shuqiu put the wine glass in front of Li Guangming and Li Yun.
"No, you are an immortal, an immortal whose whereabouts are erratic. Speaking of Zhang Shenxian, where are you going to float next? Li Yun finally opened the bottle of wine, and while pouring it into the wine glass, he was disgusted that he did not sober up first.
But obviously Li Yun asked this question, Li Guangming and Zhang Heng were also very concerned, Zhang Shuqiu replied with a smile: "I don't have a plan at the moment, I want to rest for a while, maybe it's possible to rest forever." ”
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at Zhang Shuqiu in surprise, but Li Yun suddenly became dissatisfied: "Dad, look, I said that you chose the wrong major for me back then, and you still don't believe it." Xiaoqiu can retire early, and I have to start again. ”
Zhang Heng rolled his eyes and said: "Ha, you don't call it a new start, you call it a just start." People start early, retire early, you start late, of course retire late. Doesn't everyone have to work for so many years? Who else can the heavens spare? ”
"Dad, I'm definitely not my mother's biological child, I suffer this kind of dimensionality reduction blow every day in our family, this is me, leave others alone, who can stand it." Li Yun said dissatisfied.
Zhang Shuqiu picked up the wine glass in front of him, touched it on Li Yun's cup and said: "Ha, I can retire if I want, it's completely thanks to Fuha, a young scientist and young entrepreneur like you, thank you!" As he spoke, he raised the cup and said to Li Guangming and Zhang Heng and his wife: "Uncle and aunt! ”
Zhang Heng took a sip of the cup, and said to Zhang Shuqiu with a look of satisfaction on his face: "It's the taste of our hometown." ”
Zhang Shuqiu nodded and said, "Speaking of my hometown, I have something I want to discuss with my family. ”
Li Guangming was a little surprised: "You say." ”
"In the first two years, I didn't help Yunshan pack a piece of mountain in my hometown, I asked him to raise seedlings of wild tea trees on the mountain and plant a large area. The fourth uncle also helped us build a house there, which was designed by someone Yunshan found, and I think it's pretty good. The fourth uncle said that the village informed us that if our old house was not rebuilt, the land might have to be recovered. Auntie, do you think we're going to rebuild? Or do you want to live in the tea plantation? Zhang Shuqiu took the soup that Zhang Heng had given her, and slowly talked about these things.
Zhang Yunshan is the son of Zhang Heng's fourth cousin, a doctor of Agricultural University. Zhang Yunshan has had a good relationship with Zhang Shuqiu since he was a child, and he is her little heel. Before graduating, Zhang Yunshan wanted to return to his hometown to engage in agricultural and sideline products. Zhang Shuqiu was very moved by Zhang Yunshan's words, so he slowly began to invest in him.
"Why do you suddenly talk about building a house? Didn't our house be repaired a few years ago, can we still live in it? Zhang Heng asked.
"Now the transformation of the new countryside, your hometown is backward, the transportation is inconvenient, and it will only start this year." Li Guangming affirmed.
"How difficult it is for us to build a house there, it is troublesome to drag some materials, and it is all mountains." Zhang Heng hesitated.
"When I asked them to build a tea garden, I repaired the road we went down the mountain by the way, and now it's quite convenient to transport materials or something." Zhang Shuqiu replied.
"Ha, my excellent sister has already started to give back to Xiangzi, awesome!" Li Yun took out his left hand and gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Shuqiu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued: "If you want to build it, in fact, we don't need to put in any effort, now the exterior design drawings are all done in the township, that is, inside, the fourth uncle said that he will find someone to help us get it right, but we have to go back." ”
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "It's hard for the fourth brother to think thoughtfully for us, so when will we go back?" ”
"Let's wait for the festival, let's go back and take a look, find someone to design it inside, and wait for the time when the farm is slack, just convenient, what do you say?" Zhang Shuqiu asked.
Seeing that Zhang Heng nodded, Zhang Shuqiu said to Li Guangming again: "Uncle, let's go back and have a look?" Our tea garden is now a little bit old, and Yunshan is really capable. ”
"Hey, when you say that, I don't think it's been a long time since I've answered the fourth brother's call. In previous years, I always had to listen to him complain a few times, but this year a leader came and said that he planted oranges, but the result was not delicious, could not be sold, and all rotted at home; Next year, a new leader said that planting persimmons is delicious to eat, but it is not good-looking, and it can't be sold at a price; After another year, the jujube trees were planted, and the fruits were too hard. It is also very difficult, no wonder the family is the only college student, and he must learn agriculture. Zhang Heng sighed.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the fourth uncle letting Yunshan learn farming, Yunshan is quite promising, what is suitable for planting in our area of water and soil, he knows it clearly now, if there is a leader who supports him, plus the road will be repaired later, there is still a lot to be done."
