32, Liuxia (2)
Meng Shi thought about his words in his mind for a moment.
A small platform with a green tile roof, cooking smoke, evening breeze, swaying bamboo forest, bamboo leaves in the wind, a cup of tea, a mobile phone, and a notebook.
Although the latter two are a bit inconsistent, it still feels a little bit of "go to the poor place of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise".
Meng Shi looked at Chen Zhufeng's swarthy face, and joked with a smile, "I can't see it, you still have a bit of the ancient literati's flea-like temperament." ”
Chen Zhufeng smiled smugly.
He worked as a mason as a teenager, and his aesthetics of architecture and environment were based on instinct.
"However, with such a change, there will be no problems with the structure of the house." Meng Shi hesitated, he was afraid of destroying the old mansion.
"Saw off that section of the tile beams, build a platform from below, there is no impact on the house, and those tile beams have been a little decayed, originally last year when the tiles were turned over, but ......"
Chen Zhufeng paused for a moment and continued, "But I don't have time to get it, so I'll get back to life." ”
If you want to do something, you can always free up time, but the money may not be freed up, especially when the money needs to be shared by several people.
Meng Shi heard Chen Zhufeng's meaning after "but" and "make up for it".
He didn't break it, he lay down again, closed his eyes and looked directly at the sun, the feeling of his eyes being red was a bit addictive, and said: "Then change it according to your ideas, if there is anything wrong, while Grandma is away, we also have time to change it." ”
Counting the 50,000 copyright fees that have not yet arrived, Meng Shi now has a six-figure deposit, although this money can't even afford a box in Babaoshan, but it is enough to renovate the old mansion.
Chen Zhufeng was very happy.
He didn't want to see the old house drag on year after year, and then collapse in a typhoon.
took a hard puff of cigarette, his mouth and nose were full of smoke, and his tone was excited: "Then it's decided, I'll go talk to my father-in-law and second uncle at noon, and set a number." ”
Meng Shi nodded, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't talk about it.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle are both farmers who work in the field to eat, earning 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year. Enough, but only enough.
Grandma is one year older than Grandpa, how many years are left? As soon as she leaves, this old mansion should be completely abandoned.
So from their point of view, there was no waste of money at all to repair it, otherwise it would not have been delayed when the tile beams were replaced last year.
Meng Shi didn't say this, nor did he mention that the money could be paid out by himself.
Some things need to be proactive, and some things are the opposite, too proactive is bad.
Finish a cigarette.
Meng Shi sat up and saw a dark-skinned Eminem, about sixty or seventy, walking over here.
A small, cow-colored pastoral dog ran jolting ahead of her.
The dog ran a few steps to see how slowly she was walking, then ran back, then a few steps forward, and then ran back to her feet, running around with a vigorous look.
"Uh-huh~hmm-nah~" She entered the courtyard and began to shout, but the voice was not loud, and it sounded like she was out of breath.
"What!" Liu Xia heard her voice and replied impatiently and loudly.
She lifted the old man's machine in her hand, "Your father called, I didn't receive it, I don't know if there is something wrong, you help grandma call back." ”
This is Liu Xia's grandmother.
"You must have pressed the wrong button again! How many times have I said that the green one is pick-up! ”
Liu Xia was a little angry, but when he heard that he was going to call his father, he still put down the things in his hand and ran over.
Meng Shi stopped what he was doing, climbed down from the roof, neatly took off the camera on the stand, and pointed the camera at the picture of Liu Xia running towards his grandmother.
Liu Xia ran over and took the old man's machine from her grandmother's hand with a lot of movement.
Proficient in dialing.
His dad set up a one-button dial in his mobile phone, but he wanted to press it one by one.
135********
The old man machine followed him by pressing the number, one by one.
"Toot ~"
Connected.
"Hey."
The volume of the old man's machine was very loud, and Meng Shi, who was on the side, heard a feed from there.
Meng Shi pointed the camera at the phone, and then the lens slowly went up, Liu Xia heard his father's voice, and immediately took the phone to his ear, and the camera just moved to his face.
Liu Xia always thought that his father could pick him up, but he didn't know what to say to his parents, who only went home once or twice a year.
The phone was in his ear for a few seconds, he didn't say a word, handed the phone to his grandmother again, and then turned his head and secretly got angry.
He didn't know what he was angry about, but he was angry.
Meng Shi took the camera and first squatted down, and then sat straight on the ground.
The camera first swept over Liu Xia's annoyed face, then went up along the hand he handed the phone, and finally followed the phone to his grandmother's face.
Liu Xia's grandmother put her phone to her ear.
Meng Shi couldn't hear the voice from the other side.
She said into her phone, "Well, just cooked." ”
"Got it."
"And the money."
"You're working, okay?"
"Hello me, you don't have to worry about it."
She nodded, hung up the phone, carefully put the black old man plane into her pocket, and then said to Liu Xia: "Your father told you not to go to the pond to play, don't run around outside." ”
Grandma forgot to ask Dad when he would pick him up in town!
Liu Xia snorted, ignored her, turned his head and ran to stack the last half of the frame tiles.
The flower dog had been following Liu Xia's feet, and when he saw him squatting down, he immediately jumped up and put his front paws on his shoulders, and put his head over to lick his face with his tongue.
Liu Xia stretched out his hand to push it, and it began to circle around Liu Xia, its tail wagging like a small fan.
And Meng Yuyu seems to be a little afraid of dogs and hides far away.
Grandma saw Liu Xia playing with the dog, and there was a little smile on her face.
She nodded to Meng Shi, didn't ask him whose child he was, just looked at the camera in his hand.
She didn't know what this cigarette box-sized thing was, what this offspring was doing with it against herself and Liu Xia.
Meng Shi leaned over and played back the picture just now to her, "Take a look." ”
She watched herself and Liu Xia appear on the screen.
Liu Xia was puffed up.
The picture only takes more than two minutes.
After reading it, she didn't speak, and her expression was a little unnatural.
She turned her head to look at Liu Xia.
Liu Xia is chasing after Meng Yuyu with Ah Hua.
Meng Yuyu was shouting, Liu Xia was laughing, and Ah Hua was scurrying at their feet.
In the play, he has forgotten the unhappiness of "grandma didn't mention him to his father".
"Auntie, I'll watch him."
Chen Zhufeng took a brown sweep to clean up the ash on the tile beams, waved his hand and shouted, because Grandma's ears were not good, so he was used to talking loudly with the old man.
The small village of Yaoshan is divided into three residential areas according to the surname.
Meng, Liu, Yu, and people with the same surname all gathered to live together.
Among them, the surname Yu is the most, and the surname Meng is the least.
Meng Duoyu, who is now being chased by dogs, although it seems to be a connotative name, is actually just a product of Meng Deshu's wit after marrying the best-looking girl of the generation surnamed Yu.
Liu Xia's grandmother's surname is Meng Osmanthus, and the woman does not have the word that represents the generation, but she is really the same generation as Meng Shi.
But after all, the age is there, and it is not appropriate to call her sister, so Chen Zhufeng called her aunt according to the age of her husband Liu Fangde.
"I'm sorry for you." Liu Xia's grandmother was a little happy.
The peanuts in the field are about to be harvested, and she has to take care of them, so there is naturally less time to see Liu Xia.
The two exchanged a few more words, and Grandma Liu Xia went back to cook.
She didn't have any concept of Meng Shi filming her and Liu Xia,
She only knew that she had to give money for taking pictures, but she didn't take the initiative to take pictures, so she didn't need to give money.
That's all she can think about.
And the reason why Meng Shi wanted to shoot was because he was chatting with Chen Zhufeng on the rooftop, Chen Zhufeng said that he was drinking with Liu Xia's father Liu Zuolong in Hezhou a few days ago, and he intended to take Liu Xia to school in the city.
Meng Shi wanted to use this camera so that Liu Xia could keep this summer.
