Chapter 13: Returning Home to See Your Parents
The next day, I woke up early, made up my bedding, cleaned up the house, and got ready to go home.
Enter the space to fetch fish.
As soon as I entered the island, I saw a large bee flying from the cucumber rack, its wings vibrating and buzzing. I was shocked that the bee could be the size of a sparrow, and I suspected it was a large wasp, and I saw him hovering in the air for a figure of eight before "swishing" away, and I stared blankly at its shadow until I could no longer see it.
Looking at his movements, I was sure it was a bee, so big that I had never seen it before. I was relieved to think that this was a different dimension, what kind of strange things might happen, and what kind of monsters I saw.
Presumably it is the faint fragrance of cucumber flowers that attracts bees, cucumbers need to be pollinated, there is no wind here, and it is not bad to have bees to come.
Looking at the cucumber stand again, I was stunned again, the big cucumbers were green and green, half a meter long, as thick as a rolling pin, densely hung on the shelf, and fell straight to the small bamboo pole.
The cucumber seeds on the newly planted cucumber seeds were unearthed last night, and they have grown to half a human height, and the seedlings will fall if they are not erected. I don't care about sending the fish first, it's important to set up a rack.
I picked a few cucumbers, took them out of the space, and sent them to Master Gao, asking him to cook a dish and have a good morning.
Master Gao was taken aback when he saw the cucumber.
"Where did you get it? This cucumber is going to be fine! ”
"I bought it at the convenience market, and when I saw that it was so big, I thought it was fun, so I brought it back and tasted it."
Master Gao, probably out of curiosity, broke a cucumber head and chewed it.
"Hmmm! Crisp! Tender! Sweet! It's like an apple, and it doesn't have an astringency when eaten with the skin, so it's a good variety! ”
Listening to Master Gao's praise of the delicious cucumber, I also pretended to be curious, broke a piece, and took two bites, which was really refreshing.
"I'm making a lot of money now!"
Of course, I can't tell Master Gao that I planted it in the space, and I walked out of the room while saying "delicious, delicious".
I went to the construction site to take bamboo poles and hemp ropes, returned to the space, and set up a frame for the new melon seedlings.
Next, the fish basket is lifted.
When I came to the convenience market, I gave the fish to the bearded man first.
When the middle-aged woman saw me appear, she ran upside down.
"Big brother, don't forget to have me here!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I can't forget it!"
How can my customer be lazy, pedaling three rounds of tirelessly, the fish in the basket is gone, and there is still a shortage of two tanks of fish for middle-aged women.
I had to re-operate the net and cast the net to catch fish, and the net was very fast, after all, it was not as good as pouring it directly into the bucket with a bamboo basket.
After a few more round-trips, the task was finally completed. Having learned the lesson this time, it seemed that the fish basket was not enough, so I went to the tackle shop and bought a few more. Enter the space and sink it into the water. There are so many fish baskets to catch fish, enough to supply bearded and middle-aged women.
Back at the construction site, Master Gao beckoned me to breakfast.
"Aren't you going back to your hometown today? Eat early and come back early, you don't have to wait for them, anyway, there is food, they can eat whenever they come. ”
In addition to millet porridge and steamed eggs, Master Gao specially made cucumbers soaked in oil, which tasted really refreshing, crispy and sweet, just this plate of cucumbers, eating is enjoyable.
Usually Master Gao does it in the front and eats in the back, but today he didn't wait for Uncle Liu and Wang Changhai, put a bowl of rice porridge, and sat opposite me to eat together.
It can be seen that his focus is on cucumbers, and this plate was scraped by the two of us, but fortunately there is still it in the pot.
Bidding farewell to Master Gao, carrying the gift box I bought yesterday, I ran to the long-distance bus station and embarked on the journey home.
The mountain road is crooked, the car is not fast, and it takes two hours to reach the station in 100 miles, and the car can only pull me to the township, which is still more than ten miles away from home.
My home, Shigou Village, is too remote to pass by buses, and there are no taxis in the township. This didn't bother me, so I found a place to carry the man, took the electric tricycle out of the space, and as soon as I twisted the electric door, I went on the dirt road.
With such a means of transportation, it is not a problem for ten miles and eight miles, and it only takes ten minutes to get home.
"Mother, I'm back!"
My mother came out of the house when she heard the shouts and was surprised to see me riding an electric tricycle.
"Xiaoyu, did you ride this back?"
"Ah...... Ha! Yes! I bought a new one. ”
I didn't tell my mother that I just rode for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain it.
Father came out.
"Yes, I can earn an electric three-wheeled back when I go out for a month, so it's much more convenient for us to go up and down the mountain to pull something."
The father smiled, circled around the three wheels, touched this and that, he liked it very much.
To be honest, I didn't really think about leaving my tricycle at home and having to use it to pull fish. Seeing that my father liked it so much, that he made something every day and put it all on his back, I immediately made the decision to keep the tricycle.
"Dad, aren't you relaxed with a three-wheeler?"
"Hehehehehe!"
My father couldn't stop laughing.
"Oops! Xiaoyu feels sorry for your dad and knows how to honor your dad! The mother was smiling, and the wrinkles on her forehead had widened a lot.
I took out the pastries, milk, and oranges in the car.
"Mother, the tricycle is for Dad, these are for you, Dad has a tricycle to work conveniently, and you are responsible for digesting these delicious foods."
"Hahahaha!"
The mother smiled and took the object, and tears seemed to glisten in the corners of her eyes.
"It's not easy to make money, why buy this? You have to save some money, you have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Seeing that his mother was emotional, his father hurriedly interjected, "Good boy, didn't you bring anything else to your father except for the electric car?" ”
I picked up another box of koji in the carriage.
"See? This box is Dad's, so drink it slowly! ”
Father grinned.
My parents knew I was back today, and I called last night. My mother started making stuffing with noodles early in the morning, and as soon as I got home, she would make dumplings, knowing that I loved it.
I certainly can't be idle. Wash your hands and come forward to help.
"These three wheels are not cheap, there are those sold in the township, seven or eight thousand, I am reluctant to buy them, how much money do you have left after buying this?"
My father brought over a floor fan, adjusted the direction, and gave me a cool breeze. I felt this silent fatherly love.
"Dad, I know you are reluctant, so I didn't discuss it with you. Since you buy it, you can use it, you can still earn money when you spend it, and you will earn more. ”
I don't want my parents to worry too much, I have to reassure him, but now I can't tell them that I already have tens of thousands.
"You just brag! We can't blow too loudly, the people in the mountains are really good, and those who talk all day long are unreliable. ”
My mother is imperceptibly educating me, and I don't think so, I have listened to it a lot since I was a child.
"Mom, I'm not bragging, your son does what he says."
After a burst of laughter, Mom sighed.
"If you can blow a daughter-in-law back, it's okay, the boss is not small, this marriage is the top priority. Our family is poor, and when you are older, it is even more difficult for your daughter-in-law to talk about it. That's what worries me and your dad the most. ”
Which pot is not opened, and the atmosphere that was still happy just now immediately cooled down.
