Chapter 33: On the Way Home

After eating the wontons, Yiqing pulled her father again and entered the grocery store next to her, which had quite a complete range of goods, and there were even shrimp skins for sale.

This is a good thing to supplement calcium, Yiqing bought a pound without saying a word.

"Sister Qing, what are you buying this fishy thing for?" Xie Wenan smelled a fishy smell, and he wondered why his daughter wanted to buy this thing.

"Dad, let's eat some of this shrimp skin on weekdays, it's good for your health. Especially Yilin, you must eat some, this thing is good for his body and bones. ”

"Really?" Xie Wenan heard his daughter say that this thing for Yilin to eat can make Yilin's body strong and tough, and he is happy, and he can't wait to buy all this bag of shrimp.

"Sister Qing, since this is a good thing, should we buy more."

"Dad, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, don't buy too much, moldy and damp things, but you can't eat them. Let's buy a pound first, and then buy it when we run out of food. ”

Although Yiqing has space, she doesn't want to put this thing, for fear that the whole space will be filled with the smell of sea in the future.

Xie Wen'an saw that what his daughter said was the Tao, so he didn't speak. Ren Yiqing bought a few bamboo baskets and a bundle of bags of rice and noodles, although she didn't count them, she looked like there were twenty or thirty.

Yiqing saw that she had almost bought something, so she asked her father, "Dad, is there anything else you want to buy?" ”

Xie Wenan thought about it, and then said with some sadness: "Let's buy two jars of wine for your father, during the Chinese New Year last year, Yilin happened to be sick, and the family was not rich in money, so he couldn't buy a pound of wine for your father to drink during the New Year." ”

This incident has always been hidden in Xie Wenan's heart, and it has become an indelible memory.

"Okay, let's go buy sorghum wine for my grandfather now."

"Okay, the highest degree."

The father and daughter were elated, went to the wine-making workshop, and bought two jars of two-pound pure sorghum wine for the old man.

The father and daughter drove the donkey cart out of Youzhou and walked back along the official road. Xie Wenan looked up at the warm sun in the sky, and for the first time in five years, he had hope.

"Sister Qing'er, she is Daddy's nobleman, if it weren't for our Sister Qing'er, Daddy wouldn't know if he would be able to survive to this day."

"Dad, our family's life will definitely get better and better. My mother and Yilin's bodies will also get better soon. ”

"Hey! Listening to our sister Qing'er, my father's heart is bright. In the past, Xie Wenan may not believe what others said like this, but he will definitely believe what his daughter says. Because of his daughter, he saw hope.

"Daddy, let's take a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, a few catties of pork, and some fruits home, okay!"

"Yes, yes, but how are we going to explain to your grandmother where these things come from? I don't even know how to explain these fabrics to them. ”

Xie Wen'an: When you don't have something, you worry when you have something. Alas, what a panic. But this kind of worry, he is very happy.

Yiqing: There are some things that I have to remind my father.

"Dad, we all have to go to Youzhou for the three days you have to rest every month, you'd better come up with a legitimate reason and tell grandma to know."

Xie Wen'an: My daughter is right, if he can't come up with a reasonable reason, his father and mother will definitely be suspicious, after all, it's not a matter of a day or two.

"Girl, this is a difficult problem, a big problem."

Xie Wen'an, who was deep in thought, did not forget to complain to his daughter.

Yi Qingxin said: I blew the cow for a long time at that time, but I was tired enough.

If you go home and tell a "little lie", you will have to worry about it for a while. Otherwise, I would be so unbalanced.

Xie Wen'an: "....... ”

The donkey cart was slow and walked back along the official road, and Xie Yiqing was still very afraid that her father would not be on fire.

"Dad, you think slowly, I'll take out a few catties of white flour first, and then take out half a basket of apples, half a basket of cherries, and half a ......."

"Sister Qing, you can't take it anymore, Daddy finally made up a reason, and if you take it again, you will definitely show your stuffing."

"Dad, how did you make it up?" Yiqing is curious about what kind of story her father will make up to keep her grandmother from doubting.

"When I went back, I told your grandmother that I met my former classmate in Youzhou, and their business is doing quite well now. When they saw me this time, they wanted me to come over and help when I was resting. Today, these things were given by others. ”

After Xie Wen'an finished speaking, he glanced at his daughter a little uncertainly, "Sister Qing, is Daddy said that?" ”

"Don't say it, I think this statement is quite reliable."

Xie Wen'an: But I don't know the bottom of my heart.

"Dad, what you say, my grandmother will definitely believe that in their eyes, you have always been a reliable and sensible person. Except for my mother and Yilin's bodies, you never used them to worry about it. ”

Xie Wen'an: It's still my own little padded jacket that is the most intimate, and the words that come out also make people feel comfortable.

"Dad, what should I do with all this silver in my hand?"

"It's still all in your hands."

"Don't give me milk?"

"It's better to keep it in your hands, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to your grandmother."

Yiqing thought about it, as if she couldn't explain it.

The father and daughter discussed it again, and finally decided that all the silver would be in Yiqing's hands, and Xie Wenan would give Liu two taels of silver every month, saying that it was Xie Wenan's salary.

finally decided on the rhetoric, and Xie Wenan finally had the leisure to think of other things.

"Sister Qing, when we came out, you promised to buy toys for Yilin. When we were in Youzhou City, we all forgot, and when we got to the town, we must think about buying a toy for Yilin. ”

Xie Wenan also felt sorry for his son, because the family's life was poor, his son was five years old, and he had never bought a toy for his son.

"Dad, I haven't forgotten, I've been thinking about it." After Yiqing finished speaking, there was an extra palm-sized "toy" in her hand. ”

Xie Wen'an stared at this toy with a strange shape and a beautiful color, which he had never seen before. I took it curiously and looked at it carefully.

"Sister Qing, what is this? It's weird that it's good-looking. There are still four wheels, haha, these four wheels can still move. ”

(Xie Yiqing was embarrassed to say, this toy car was a gift for buying snacks by herself)

Hey, this toy with four wheels made Xie Wenan so happy that he almost forgot to drive the donkey cart.

"Dad, this is the car, and in the place I've been, the real car is bigger than the donkey cart."

"This is what you said, the car that you can run by yourself without having to catch a car?"

"Yes."

"It's amazing, this thing is really incredible, if only Daddy could see that place."

Xie Wenan held this life-like toy car in his hand, and imagined in his mind what the place his daughter said looked like.

After a long time, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Daddy still can't imagine what that place is like." ”
