Chapter 22: Man, Man
If the Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant does not close down again, Ye, Longmian Boy and Uncle Ye can only celebrate the New Year in Jiangcheng.
Because, in three days, it will be the New Year.
Business is not bad, but the year still has to pass.
Ye Zi said that during the Chinese New Year, we chartered a car back to Longmian Mountain, and the cost of more than 200 kilometers was not much more expensive than the three people who bought tickets to go back together. What's more, we have to bring some things with us. The cost of chartering the bus is from the account of Longmian Mountain beef noodle restaurant. That's it, how?
That's it.
They met at the Longmian Mountain Beef Noodle Restaurant. After the car came, Uncle Ye "clicked" and "clicked" twice, and locked the door of the noodle restaurant firmly. The three of them set off in full gear.
The ice and snow lay on the ground, the cold wind hit lightly, and the late sun lazily shone on the ground of Jiangcheng. Crystal mist rises everywhere.
They chartered a Santana taxi, and the driver was from Jiangcheng, a slightly chubby middle-aged aunt surnamed Ding. Ye Zi and the Dragon Sleep Kid call her Aunt Ding. When he got into the car, Uncle Ye sat in the front co-pilot. He deliberately made room for two young men to sit in the back row.
The air conditioning in the car has been turned on. Warm.
Ye Zi returned to his hometown and was quite excited. Because, she is going to see her grandmother. I have lived with my grandmother since I was a child, and I have a deep relationship. Just yesterday, she took the time to buy her grandmother autumn pants, knee pads, hot water and other foods that she likes to eat.
And grandpa and grandma. They lost their son and daughter-in-law, but fortunately they still have an aunt to take care of. The aunt is Uncle Ye's wife. She didn't come to Jiangcheng because her son Ye Ran was in middle school. Ye Zi prepared a set of New Year's gifts for his grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and even his younger brother Ye Ran.
The dragon sleep kid's mood is much more complicated than the leaves.
Of course he was happy to see his grandfather, grandmother and grandmother soon. However, when he thought that it was still unknown whether his parents could go back for the New Year, he began to feel depressed again.
The behavior of parents always determines the quality of a family and the mood of the children, which is not bad at all.
The dragon boy felt that his parents definitely did not go back. If he went back, his grandmother would call him.
He is not as attentive as Yezi, and he doesn't have as much time to go shopping on the street. However, he also has his own plans. He wants to give a red envelope to his grandfather, grandmother and grandmother, each of them. Not only did he express his heart, but also explained to them that he had done a good job in Jiangcheng, so as not to worry them.
Therefore, after he got in the car, he basically leaned on, as if he closed his eyes and recuperated.
Ye Zi thought that he slept late last night, or was tired, and it was not easy to disturb, so he took care of himself and looked at the snow scene outside the car window.
The most excited should be Uncle Ye. Not only will he be able to spend the New Year with his parents, but his husband and wife can also be reunited. Without the eldest brother and sister-in-law, this year is still going to be good. He longed for the scene of a family reunion.
He is even more looking forward to the future when his son will be admitted to university and come to Jiangcheng to work.
The car drove out of Jiangcheng, and a small bump woke up the Longmian boy. He sat up, looked at the leaves, and twisted his head out the window.
In his mind, the scene of coming to Jiangcheng for the first time soon appeared. A person, who was so high-spirited, confused, and single-handedly came to Chuang Jiangcheng. When I think about it now, I think it's funny.
He laughed self-deprecatingly. Didn't make a sound.
But he still caught the attention of the leaves. Ye Zi turned sideways and asked: Look at you, thinking about going home, so excited.
The boy in Longmian put away his smile and said: I was thinking, people, just like one foot of the compass, where to start, and finally return to the original point, this seems to be the law.
Ye Zi patted the seat and said: Hometown is the origin.
The two were talking, but unexpectedly, Aunt Ding, who was driving, was also interested and involved.
Aunt Ding said while driving: That is, after I send you home, tomorrow, I will also return to my original point, I will go back to my hometown.
She speaks and does not interfere with driving. Keep your eyes on the front and your ears on the side. Old drivers.
When she said this, Uncle Ye became interested. He turned to the side and asked, "Where is your hometown?"
Aunt Ding said: Hubei Zigui.
Uncle Ye and Ye Zi said in unison: Qu Yuan's hometown.
Aunt Ding said: So you all know.
However, the dragon sleep kid didn't know.
In previous textbooks, there were articles and introductions by Qu Yuan, but he didn't remember them. Where Qu Yuan's hometown was, he had no impression at all.
I was ashamed. No culture, how embarrassing.
Yes, even if you go into society, you must also be educated.
How do leaves know so much? Is it because you remember the knowledge in the textbook, or because of the abundance of social reading?
There is so much to learn.
Ye Zi leaned forward and asked, "Aunt Ding, how many years have you been renting a lease?"
Aunt Ding replied: It's been ten years.
Ten years is not a short time. Ye Zi asked: What do you think?
Aunt Ding seemed to be touched, sighed slightly, and said: How is it, it's just two words, hard, but people are fulfilling.
Uncle Ye said: An operating certificate can be sold for more than one million yuan, and it is hard to open a rental, and it is hard to work, and there is also money.
Ye Zi agreed with what Uncle Ye said, and echoed and said: There must be something to be earned, otherwise who will open the rental.
Aunt Ding said: Making some hard-earned money is better than being laid off at home and being a nanny for the old and young masters.
Uncle Ye asked again: In the past few years of housing reform, Master Ding has also bought a house in Jiangcheng, right?
Aunt Ding said: Buying a house is a luxury, I don't know how many years I have to struggle, I now live in an old house, three people more than 60 square meters, fortunately, my son has just started college.
Ye Zi looked at Aunt Ding, with surprise on her face, and said: Yes, my son is in college, he has his own out, and he will not be able to buy a house in the future?
Aunt Ding didn't agree with what Ye Zi said. She shook her head and said: There are a few college students who can buy a house after working, and they are not gnawing at the old, but only complaining about my son, and gnawing at the old can only gnaw at me.
Uncle Ye asked: How do you say this?
Aunt Ding seemed to be affected a little emotionally, and her voice also decreased by a volume. She said: My wife suffered from hemiplegia ten years ago, and she can't even take care of herself.
Speaking of which, Uncle Ye and Ye Zi, and even the Longmian Kid began to sympathize with Aunt Ding. Uncle Ye comforted her and said: It's really not easy for you, but you still have to look at it, you think like this, your sons are all college students, that is the potential stock, Maxima.
Uncle Ye never speculated in stocks, but when it came to potential stocks, he blurted it out.
It may be that Uncle Ye mentioned that her son played a role, and Aunt Ding's mood improved again. She said: This taxi, originally opened by my wife, since he was sick, I took over the steering wheel, a drive is ten years, although it does not make a lot of money, but it is still possible to maintain the current life, fortunately, my son is sensible, in the past study do not bother us, in the future to see where his work goes, I can not always drive a taxi.
Ye Zi said: I appreciate Aunt Ding's mentality, it is very difficult to do anything, but we can't be without confidence, there is hope with desire, and there is a future with hard work.
Aunt Ding agreed. She sighed and said: When people are old, who will think about themselves, most of them live for their children.
The three of them were talking, but the dragon boy sat on the side, silent. He was originally a bit introverted, and he usually doesn't talk much, so he is not very interested in these topics today. Therefore, when they were talking about the good spirits, he could not interject anything, and he did not know where to interject, so he acted as a pious observer.
Just then, the taxi suddenly flashed on the highway. The four figures were electrocuted, then shook at the same time. The leaf let out an "ahhh Aunt Ding was a little nervous, she grabbed the steering wheel tightly, and it was estimated that her palms were sweaty, and the car was adjusted to a normal state.
This is clearly Aunt Ding, who is talking thickly, and her attention has deserted. Fortunately, the fourth son just made a small flash. Everyone was just surprised.
The car is back to normal, traveling at about one hundred and two. Aunt Ding said "I'm sorry", Ye Zi replied to her "It's okay", and then, everyone stopped talking. Because I am afraid of talking, it will affect the driver's driving, safety first, and life is the most important.
In this way, the four people who were silent were taken by taxi all the way to the foot of Longmian Mountain.
The first stop of the taxi is the Dragon Village of the Dragon Boy.
