Chapter 24 To the county seat

After speaking, Shui Daquan took out a few gross tickets from his pocket and handed them to Shui Yao: "Yaoyao, this is the tuition fee that your grandmother entrusted me to give you." When she heard that you were admitted to high school, she was overjoyed. Although this money is not much, after all, the old lady saved it little by little, and it should be a heart......"

Regarding Shui Daquan's statement, Shui Yao didn't fully believe it in his heart. Since Wu Chunhua, the stepmother, came to the house, the original owner has never seen the old lady come to the door. Shui Yao couldn't figure out how he, a person who didn't matter at all in the old lady's heart, could suddenly enjoy such a high treatment. However, Shui Yao estimated that nine times out of ten it was inseparable from his admission to college and his previous divorce.

After all, these two things are not trivial, and now it is estimated that the whole production team has spread all over the world, and it is difficult for the old lady to think about it. However, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Shui Yao understands the principle of "taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths", so she concluded that it was nothing good for this old lady to suddenly be courteous.

Therefore, after some thought, Shui Yao decided not to take these things for the time being. However, she estimated that Shui Daquan gave her more money, and she didn't use those gross tickets much. But even so, out of politeness, Shui Yao still thanked him.

"Dad, you can take the money first. I still have a lot of money and tickets! You can thank my grandmother for me. ”

"Alas, yes, girl!"

Shui Daquan has always known the principle of "freezing three feet is not a day's cold", and the current contradiction between the mother and the girl cannot be solved at once. However, what made him happy was that after so many years, the girl was finally willing to call the old lady "grandma", which made Shui Daquan happy.

As soon as he was in a good mood, Shui Daquan felt a lot more relaxed. The conflict between the girl and the old lady will come a long time and can be solved slowly.

Thinking that entering the city the next day would inevitably consume a lot of physical strength, Shui Daquan urged Shui Yao to rest, and when he left, he did not forget to explain: "Follow me to the county tomorrow morning, and change what you want." Remember to bring your money and tickets. ”

As soon as Shui Yao heard this, she could follow her into the city, and the unhappiness that had sprung up in her father's heart when he mentioned the old lady just now quickly disappeared.

After returning to the house, Shui Yao took out the treasured small cloth bag, took out some of the cloth stamps and food stamps given by Shui Daquan, and planned to take them to the supply and marketing cooperatives the next day to exchange some things.

Now the production team has not caught up with the time to distribute the grain, but the family is currently saying that it is fine grain, and even the remaining bud flour is less than two catties. This Wu Chunhua usually withheld her rations, but the others didn't even care about it, and the food was estimated to go into her own stomach.

However, fortunately, her father's salary in the mine is not low, and there are still a lot of food stamps. Just take advantage of tomorrow to go to the county town to change a few catties first, and deal with the past few days at the end of the month.

But it's not enough to just eat it. Shui Yao opened the wardrobe and found that in addition to the clothes he was wearing, there was only a torn gown inside.

Looking at her stumbling outfit, Shui Yao pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, and silently made a decision in her heart, she must tear a few more feet of cloth tomorrow, or she will have to freeze to death if the weather gets cold after a while.

Early the next morning. When the sky is still bright. Shui Yao got up from the bed with a bone. After dressing and washing her face, she cleaned up and stopped, took a few small cloth bags containing food, and followed her father Shui Daquan into the city with a small backpack.

When the woman, father and daughter arrived at the designated place, a large number of people had gathered at the entrance of the village. Master Li, who was driving the donkey cart, urged vigorously when he saw Shui Daquan.

"Brother Shui, you can be regarded as here! Let's go, you see, everyone is waiting for you! ”

Shui Daquan saw that everyone was indeed there, so he smiled embarrassedly, and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a few of them and distributed them to Master Li and a few men who were traveling with him. After that, he led Shui Yao into the car and introduced it to everyone.

"I'm really sorry, I came out a little late today, and I was delayed for some time. This is my daughter Ah Yao, as soon as she heard that I was going to the mine, she was very curious, and kept shouting that she wanted to follow me to see the world, and this time it would be troublesome to the master! ”

After Lao Li Tou took the cigarette, he clamped it directly on his ear. glanced at Shui Yao, who was sitting next to Shui Da's body, nodded, and said no more. When he saw that everyone was seated, he shouted, took his whip and whipped it at the donkey, and the cart departed.

It is estimated that because they started too early, most people are still in a state of hysteria. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't want to speak, and a few even dozed off against each other.

But for Shui Yao, this is the first time she has sat on this kind of donkey-pulled cart, and this experience is really not wonderful.

At this time, the rural road is still a dirt road, and when the wind blows, the sheep dung and eggs on the ground can roll down the slope. At the same time, there are some stones scattered here and there on the road. The cart pressed against it, babbling and babbling. The donkey cart walked very slowly, and the water that bumped and shook from time to time was not sleepy, and after a while, she was so uncomfortable that she even wanted to vomit out the overnight meal.

However, fortunately, the county seat is not far from their village, and it takes about half an hour to reach the place.

After getting out of the car, Shui Daquan hurried to work in the mine. Before leaving, he took out a hard-boiled egg and a tortilla from his bag and stuffed them to Mizuhara.

"Girl, you are in a hurry to leave this morning, and you haven't had time to eat, you take these cushions to cushion your stomach first, wait for a while to get to the county seat, if you want to eat something again, you can go to the restaurant to buy it by yourself, don't worry about money!"

The weather was still a little cold in the morning, and the frost on the leaves had not yet faded, and Shui Yao noticed that when Shui Daquan was talking, although there was a white haze coming out from time to time, his lips were shivering from the cold.

Looking at the tortillas that were forcibly stuffed into his hands by Shui Daquan, how could Shui Yao still eat it? This cheap dad is obviously hungry and cold, and his lips are white, and he still stuffs food for her at this time. The work in the mine is so heavy, what if he doesn't get one of them right and faints from hunger?

Thinking of this, Shui Yao resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and stuffed the cake in his hand back into Shui Daquan's hand.

"Dad, we came out in the morning, I guess you haven't eaten, right? If you give me all this, what will you eat? ”

Shui Daquan looked at it and knew that this was his own daughter who felt sorry for him, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy.

"Oh, don't you worry, Dad is a person who works in the mine every day, and his body is strong! Besides, didn't you cook a big pot of sweet potato porridge yesterday? Before leaving this morning, Dad ate a bowl! ”

After speaking, Shui Daquan also reached out and pursed his lips, as if he was still savoring the sweetness of the bowl of sweet potato porridge. But looking at Shui Daquan's pretending to be relaxed, the corners of Shui Yao's eyes twitched.

In order to allow himself to eat, this cheap dad doesn't even bring a draft when he lies! I'm obviously hungry enough, and my whole body is shaking when the wind blows, so where does it look like I've eaten?

Thinking of this, Shui Yao secretly gritted his teeth and decided not to save face for this cheap father. If you don't expose him, I guess no matter how much I persuade him, he won't eat.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? The sweet potato porridge in the pot was drunk by Wu Chunhua last night. As for her abyssal stomach, when did she leave food for our family? Even sweet potato skins won't leave you with a fingernail cover! ”

Before Shui Daquan could argue, Shui Yao raised the egg in his hand again without saying anything, and used the voice of goosebumps all over his body that could drown in it when he heard it, and sprinkled coquettishly at Shui Daquan for the first time.

"Dad, I don't care! Anyway, I gave you this corn tortilla, if you don't eat it, then take it back and feed our old hens, and when the time comes, they will improve their diet, maybe they can lay a few more eggs for our family! ”

"However, I still have to remind you that if you don't eat this cake this time, it will really break your daughter's heart! I won't eat this egg either, you can do it yourself! ”

Shui Yao didn't stop doing it, and he was about to throw the eggs out. Shui Daquan saw it, so he had to reluctantly take the tortilla, and then coaxed Shui Yao up and down, inside and out.

"Alas, is Dad wrong? If you don't eat and lose weight like this, Dad's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will definitely hurt so much that I can't sleep all night long......"

After speaking, Shui Daquan immediately picked up the tortilla and took a big bite: "My family is far away, I know that it hurts, and it's too late for Dad to be happy!" Don't be angry, you see, Dad ate this cake right away, okay? ”

Then, before he could swallow what he was in his mouth, Shui Daquan gnawed on the tortilla again. Shui Yao looked at the bitten cake in Shui Daquan's hand, and then grinned and laughed.

Shui Daquan saw that his daughter was finally not angry, so he faintly relieved himself, and after that, he gave her a thousand instructions.

"Yaoyao, you must remember, don't get lost in this place, let's meet here before the sun sets."

"The girl must pay attention to safety, there are many bad people on this road, if you really accidentally bump into it, it doesn't matter if you give him something, it's okay for people to be fine."

"Also, be sure to eat! The hotel is in ......"

Looking at Shui Daquan, who was reluctant to give up on himself and turned back three times in one step, Shui Yao was extremely helpless, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching: his father is also a big man with five big and three thick, and today he is just a temporary separation, and they will meet again in the evening, but why did he suddenly become numb?

"Alright, I got it! Dad, go to the mine! ”

Finally sent Shui Daquan away, Shui Yao began to take a closer look at the county seat at this time. But the appearance in front of her really disappointed her.
