After Xu Qingzhi kicked that 'struggle' out of the group, he received a private chat, and the message was 99+ in a blink of an eye.

She didn't bother to look at it, only glanced at the latest message questioning the quality of her dishes, and replied: "Go to the test, talk with the data." ”

Struggle: "Okay, you wait!" ”

Xu Qingzhi didn't pay attention to it anymore, looked at the unread messages in the row in the list, quit WeChat, and turned off his mobile phone.

It's ten o'clock, so sleepy, she's going to sleep.

The next day, Xu Fuqiang and Xu Qingzhi drove back to pick vegetables.

As soon as the car entered the village, they ran into acquaintances one after another.

"Fuqiang, do you buy a car?"

Xu Fuqiang stopped the car, found a cigarette, and said with a smile: "My daughter bought it." ”

"Your daughter is really promising, hey, it's still a BMW, it's hundreds of thousands."

"My daughter is average, and your son is also a capable outside, so he can earn a lot of money a year."

"How can my son have your daughter's interest, when my son gets married, can I borrow your car as the first car?"

Xu Fuqiang's face was embarrassed, and he looked back at Xu Qingzhi's opinion, borrowing a car can be big or small, but basically everyone who buys a car will encounter the same problem.

Xu Qingzhi recognized the other party, it was the old neighbor before, and usually if his parents had anything, they also relied on the help of these old neighbors, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, when the time comes, you will talk about it." ”

Uncle Wang saw the person in the back seat, "I know that I am still at home, I haven't seen you for a few days, I thought you had returned to Zhoucheng." ”

"I planted a few acres of land at home and stayed with my parents."

"Now the young people are going outside, and there are not many young people in the village. It's rare that you can have this heart. ”

Xu Qingzhi smiled.

"Okay, I'll go to the field to see the rice, let's not talk about it yet, go back to your house and sit down and then continue chatting."

"Okay, Uncle Wang, you go slowly."

Xu Fuqiang drove the car and continued to walk forward.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the pack of fifty yuan cigarettes, "Dad, haven't you quit smoking a long time ago?" Why do you have a cigarette on your body today? ”

"When I buy a new car and drive it back for the first time, I will definitely meet acquaintances, and it will be polite to find a good cigarette for people." Xu Fuqiang turned around with the steering wheel, and his face was full of happiness.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the joy on her father's face, and still remembered that many years ago, her father drove the family to her grandmother's house on three wheels, and on the way, she would always meet a few second-rate people who spoke badly.

Later, several elementary school classmates in the village who were the same age as her father bought cars, but her father was the only one who did not buy a car.

Sometimes those elementary school classmates will have some kind of class reunion in the county seat.

Her father was drunk and was sent back, obviously a middle-aged man, still crying like a child in her mother's arms, saying that he was unproductive, and he had not made a name for so many years, and sometimes he even had to find someone to borrow the child's tuition fees, it was really useless, sorry for the child, sorry for her mother, sorry for his parents, sorry for her mother's parents, and said sorry to the eighteen generations of his ancestors that he was sorry.

Xu Qingzhi has lived in the three worlds for more than 500 years, but the memories of those childhood days appear in his mind vividly as if they were reproduced yesterday.

At that time, she was only 12 years old and did not understand the adult world.

The old house was a dilapidated brick house, and she stood under the shrine, grasping the legs of the square wooden table, looking at his father's red face, and listening to him shout: "Yanmei, Yanmei, when I have money in the future, I will buy a BMW, let everyone see, I can make you live a good life." ”

Her mom patted him on the back, "Good, good." ”

Xu Qingzhi heard a crackling sound of firecrackers and pulled out of his memory.

She looked at the fork in the road leading to her family's small courtyard, where someone was setting off firecrackers.

In the village, the longer the firecracker, the more important it is to things.

The firecrackers rang out for a long time, and the smoke was everywhere, and her father was afraid of breaking the car, so he waited for the firecrackers to finish before slowly driving over.

After the green smoke, there was an old man dressed in plain clothes, holding a red envelope in his hand, and walked to the window of the driver's seat.

"Fuqiang, today you drive back for the first time, and I will give you a red envelope, which means that you will be safe and secure in driving in the future."

It is Xu Qingzhi's grandfather Xu Dongru.

"Grandpa, I also want a red envelope." Xu Qingzhi shouted and stretched out his hand to ask.

Xu Dongru took out another red envelope from his pocket, with a kind smile on his face that the older generation would only have when he looked at the younger generation, coaxing a child: "Your father has it, of course you have it." ”

Xu Qingzhi happily took the red envelope and opened the car door, "Grandpa, you come up, let's go home first." ”

"It's just such a distance, I won't get on, you drive the car back, I'll walk over." Xu Dongru patted the ashes on his body, turned around and left.

Xu Qingzhi always knew that her grandfather was a stubborn person, and it was useless to reluctantly, so he had to close the car door, and her father drove back.

There were a lot of people who came up to watch the excitement in the courtyard, and when Xu Fuqiang got out of the car, those people said kind words and auspicious words.

Xu Qingzhi picked up the candy and snacks he had bought a long time ago and got out of the car, then took a chair and a plate and put them outside, and poured some tea.

A few days ago, I was still spreading rumors in the village that Xu Qingzhi was dumped by a man in a big city, preparing for pregnancy at home, couldn't get along in the city, and came back to find a partner when she was old.

Now they are all happy to praise Xu Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, if you want me to say, the young people in our village are still the most capable of you, and you can buy a car for your father." ”

Xu Qingzhi smiled, "A little money." ”

She is not pretending, there is no need to explain it clearly to outsiders. Most of the folk customs in the village are simple, but they can't stand some long-tongued women who are really idle and have nothing to do, and like to spread rumors everywhere.

It just so happened that Xu Qingzhi's ears were better, and when he came back to grow vegetables, he could always hear some very outrageous rumors, which intensified.

To put it bluntly, there is no money at home, and many people like to step on two feet.

And the criterion for judging whether there is money in the village is whether the family has a car or not, whether it is an expensive car.

But whoever buys a good car, the long-tongued woman has no confidence in spreading rumors behind her back, and the style of painting on her lips becomes, eh, their family is really rich now.

The aunt of the Xia family said with a rare look in her eyes: "This looks like a BMW car, I know it, can I let my aunt sit when I turn around?" My aunt will introduce you to someone. ”

Xu Dongru had already walked over, "I know that I am still young, where is I in a hurry to find a partner, go and go, go while going, and don't tell the child about this." ”

Xu Dongru is over seventy years old, he is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, and he is an elder, and these aunts will not take the initiative to touch his moldy head, and they scatter one after another.

Aunt Xia is here to join in the fun, her eyes are sharp, she recognizes that the candy on the plate is sold for fifty-nine yuan a pound in the supermarket, grabbed a handful and put it in her pocket, and took out another handful, no one paid attention to her at all, but she smiled and said to the person next to her: "After school today Friday, my baby came back, just to bring him some sugar." And then he left.

There were only a few pieces left on the plate full of candy.

Xu Qingzhi went into the house and took the candy back and added it, and Aunt Zhou on the side was a little unhappy and knew to Xu Qing: "Aunt Xia is used to taking advantage of everywhere. ”

Aunt Zhou and her mother have a good relationship, and the two of them used to go to the mountains together to pick Chinese medicinal materials.

Xu Qingzhi smiled, grabbed two handfuls and put them in Aunt Zhou's pocket, "You also bring some for the child." ”

"That's not good, that's not good, this candy is expensive, I'll just carry two." Aunt Zhou was busy digging out.

Xu Qingzhi held her down, "Aunt Zhou, what are you polite to me, if you don't carry it, I will go to your house in the future, and I won't take the snacks you brought me." ”

In Aunt Zhou's eyes, Xu Qingzhi is still a child, and she won't be angry when she hears this, "Okay, then Aunt will carry it." Eh, I know lightly, I heard your mother say that you are going to farm at home and not return to the state city, and you plan to sell these vegetables at the market when you want? I'll buy some when the time comes. ”

Xu Qingzhi said: "These dishes are marketable, so I won't go to the market to sell them." ”

Aunt Zhou was a little surprised, but thinking that she had acted before, she would definitely not worry about sales. But after all, it's someone else's business, and it's too much to ask, so he nodded, "That's good, that's good, you can accompany your parents at home, and your mother is also happy in her heart." ”
