At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Mingxuan had already prepared several dishes, including stir-fried pork with bitter gourd, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, crucian carp soup and two kinds of boiled seasonal vegetables.

"Grandma, this egg is delicious, especially the tomato sauce mixed with it, I will crush it for you, as well as lean meat and crucian carp."

"I can't eat so much, you keep you to eat." Grandma pushed out a little angrily.

Since my grandmother fell seriously ill five years ago, her health has deteriorated, and she also had an eye mask repair last year...... Anyway, since three years ago, the family has followed the doctor's advice and said that they should eat separately.

The doctor's words are very hurtful, but there is no way, Grandma is now a medicine jar, and from time to time she goes to the hospital clinic to stay for ten days and a week, and she will eat a little more germs on the tableware......

Therefore, every time she eats, her family prepares food and distributes her set of utensils to eat. Most of them are fresh lean meat and home-grown vegetables, and only these two are eaten.

"The eggs are delicious, and the fish is delicious, you eat more."

Grandma saw that her grandson was still looking at the dishes in her bowl, and wanted to cover her bowl: "Don't clamp it, it's enough to eat, I can't eat it, it's going to stink again." ”

"Okay, you eat these. I'll help you with the food. ”

"I'll add it myself, you add more, I can't eat it. I eat a little bit and drink a bowl of porridge. Grandma hurriedly refused.

"Then I'll turn the lights on."

Ah Gong also ate separately, but he had his own set of utensils earlier. The reason is that on weekdays, he would buy some minced meat or other cheap food from the town and come back to cook, but Chen's mother found that he couldn't wash it clean, and he didn't change it.

As a last resort, his mother forced him to say, either you don't keep buying those things and come back to make them, or you can make them yourself and eat them yourself, and have your own set of dishes and chopsticks!

As a result, he also has his own set of dishes and chopsticks, and if he buys something and comes back to make it, he eats it himself, otherwise Chen's mother cooks the meal, and he takes the clean chopsticks and divides some into his own bowl to eat.

Ah Gong came back a long time ago, although he was older than Ah Po, but Ah Gong looked very energetic except for his thin and sparse white hair, and he didn't look like a person who was almost ninety years old at all.

"You have so many stalls, can you finish eating?"

Chen Mingxuan heard a very neutral voice, and when he looked back, he saw his father, who was not tall but very sturdy, standing at the top of the stairs, his dark skin had a few wrinkles, and his gray hair had increased a lot.

When I turned to look at Ah Gong again, I found that he was constantly distributing vegetables into his bowl, and looking at the amount, it was obviously not something that an old man should be able to eat!

"The food is delicious, I can eat it." Ah Gong argued, but still stopped.

"You can't eat so much if it's delicious, support."

"I'll just eat a little ......"

Father Chen ignored him and turned to Chen Mingxuan: "You're back?" ”

"Hmm."

Father Chen walked into the kitchen and brought the dishes and chopsticks over to add food to the table: "Don't wait for your aunt, you can eat too." ”

Chen Mingxuan took the dishes and chopsticks himself, and began to eat.

"The food is delicious, strange ......," Chen's father muttered as he ate and ate.

Chen Mingxuan knew why, but he didn't speak.

"Not going out in the future?" Father Chen said, "Otherwise, let's go to Yangcheng in eastern Guangdong, the magic capital is a bit far away." ”

Can it not be far? From Guixi Longcheng, 1,400 kilometers!

"Don't go out, stay at home."

"Don't go out? What can you do at home! Father's chopsticks stopped.

"I want to contract the gourd valley and grow things."

"Contracting Hulu Valley? Our family doesn't have that much money. How much have you saved? ”

"I've prepared five million, which should be enough."

Father Huo Di stood up: "Five million! Where did you get so much money? Your monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, except for renting, eating, drinking, and all kinds of expenses, can you have so much money? ”

Chen Mingxuan raised his head and looked at his angry father and said, "Classmate invests." I told them that there is a gourd valley in the mountain behind our house, and there is a clear water lake in the valley, which is suitable for tourist attractions. ”

The gourd valley is the name of the two valleys further inside the back mountain, and the two valleys are named after the gourd. There is no lake in the front valley of the gourd valley, but there is a lake of thousands of acres in the back valley, which is very beautiful under the cover of the mountains.

Further into the gourd valley, there is a large jungle.

Longcheng is in the southwest of Guangxi and the transportation connection of eastern Guangdong, the development of the past ten years is very good, the reason why no one is eyeing the gourd valley is mainly that there is a stone mountain in and out of the gourd valley, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit.

A few years ago, a businessman took a fancy to the stone mountain, saying that it was going to develop the stone mountain, and the town government spent a lot of effort to help requisition the mountain land, and made a five or six meters wide road into the mountain, and the road passed next to Chen Mingxuan's house.

It's just that, for some unknown reason, the merchant left, and the stone mountain was not dug much, leaving behind unfinished stone quarry buildings and messy stones.

Most of his father's anger was gone, and he sat down: "Can your classmates believe you?" ”

In fact, as long as you blow up a road, dispatch a large road excavator to sort out a road, and connect the road made by the government, you can open up the connection between Hulu Valley and the outside world. Therefore, Father Chen, who is familiar with the situation in the back mountain, will be half angry, in fact, it is already the default feasibility.

"I showed them the satellite map."

The father pondered for a while and said, "How much savings do you have?" ”

"Less than 100,000."

"Since your classmate is a big leader, ask your aunt to get you some and make up 200,000 yuan."

"No, you don't." Chen Mingxuan lowered his voice, "Your money, Grandma needs to use it all the time." ”

The father's voice was hoarse, and he silently ate two mouthfuls of food, and said, "Why don't you wait for me to come back tomorrow and then go to your sixth uncle." ”

The sixth uncle is a village cadre, Chen Mingxuan knows what his father meant, it is such a big thing, he is not worried about doing it alone.

"No, I'll just go by myself, and you will have to rest when you come back in the morning."

——————————

When night falls, the lights are on.

The mother dragged her tired body back home, and fed the pigs with leftover porridge during the day, and fed the chickens, before freshening up and eating the meal that had been heated in the microwave.

On weekdays, my mother would never come back so late, because she still had to serve Grandma for dinner, and she came back so late today, mainly because she knew that her eldest son was back, and her son would prepare meals for Grandma.

Chen Mingxuan brought a glass of water over and put it on the table.

The grandmother, who was sitting silently on the side, saw the water glass, pointed to the water cup and said, "The water is delicious, you drink it." ”

The mother coped, "Well, okay, I'll drink." ”

"You came back this time just to help with the rice seedlings. How many years have you not been in the field? ”

Chen Mingxuan smiled: "It's been more than ten years. ”

"I haven't been in the field since high school."

——————————

"Go to bed, I'll help you in." It was already eight o'clock, and Ah Gong was holding a flashlight and said to Grandma.

"Hmm." Grandma stood up tremblingly, and Chen Mingxuan hurriedly reached out to help.

Grandpa and Grandma both live in the old house, which is the cement building they lived in before, which is relatively simple, just about ten meters behind the house. But at night in the countryside, unless it is moonlight and starry, it is all dark, and the old man is unstable walking on the dirt road, not to mention the medicine jar that Grandma has been doing for many years!

Therefore, every night, someone needs to help her back to the old house, if there is no one to help her, maybe when she falls, she is not as good as her grandfather!

——————————

Soon after returning to the room, Chen Mingxuan had just opened his laptop when his mother came to her son's room.

"Did you help your grandma in?"

"Hmm."

"Your aunt said to introduce you to a woman, I told her a few days ago that you will come back in a few days, and I will ask you to meet you when the time comes."

"Didn't you say that if you give my QQ, WeChat and phone number to the woman, the woman will contact me if she wants to talk?"

"Do you want the woman to contact you? You don't take the initiative as a man, but you want a woman to take the initiative? ”

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, you see, which woman didn't say at the beginning that she didn't dislike this or that, but it turned out to be a few words, and she blew it out in a few words, and there was no sound."

The mother sighed: "Why is it so difficult to find a wife?" ”

"That's no way, people don't look down on your son, no car, no house, no deposit."

"Supposedly, you also graduated from college and found a decent job in the magic capital, and our family also has a small two-story house......

The mother muttered, "It's to blame you for reporting to the university in the Demon Capital, and you can't come back." A few were introduced, and they all said that the magic capital was too far away and they were unwilling to go to the magic capital. ”

Chen Mingxuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't report to the school in the magic capital at the beginning, didn't I waste the college entrance examination scores?" Aren't you very happy at the time, and you all set up drinks to celebrate. ”

"You also said that until now, everyone knows that you are so old that you are not married. I want to introduce a woman, but I say that you don't look at it, saying that your education is too high and you don't deserve it. ”

"I didn't say you have to have a college degree, you said it!"

"Then you are in the magic capital, if she goes with her, she can't find a job with a low education, and you support the family alone, how tiring will it be?"

Chen Mingxuan closed his mouth, and his mother saw the water cup on the table, and the latter said, "Your glass of water just now is very delicious, where did you buy it?" ”

"I brought it back. The bucket of water in the outer hall is a whole bucket. ”

The mother exclaimed, "A whole barrel? Aren't you tired after so much? ”

"It's not much, and you don't have to mention it yourself when you get in the car."

The mother took out a note from her pocket, and the words on it were crooked: "You call this woman." ”

"What?"

"Your aunt introduced me."

The corners of Chen Mingxuan's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly picked up the mobile phone on the desktop: "It's so late, besides, people may not be able to look down on your son." ”

"As far as you are troubled, don't talk so impulsively."
