Chapter 168: You Take It
Huo Fengyan was still carrying a hoe in his hand, and he had already fully adapted to the rhythm of the Xu family's life after only a few days.
He bowed his head slightly and said politely: "That's troublesome, Grandpa, I'll come to live tonight." ”
"There's nothing troublesome, you don't have to dislike it, I'll go back and make the bed for you, and you can stay at night." Xu Dongru waved his hand, looking polite.
Jiang Xiao has been in the village for so long, and he has already been familiar with the Xu family, so he pretended to eat: "Grandpa, I sleep with Si Ran every day, why don't you call me to come and live." ”
Xu Dongru snorted, and the little old man's face was full of arrogance: "Who told you to say that the things my granddaughter gave me are not good as soon as we meet, you don't speak well, and the first impression is not good." ”
Jiang Xiao said helplessly: "Grandpa, how long has this been." ”
The old man ignored him, and enthusiastically inquired about Huo Fengyan's private information, what is his name, where he lives, and how many people are in the family. The old man in the village touched the young stranger and asked as if he were checking the household register.
Most young people are quite disgusted.
Huo Fengyan also answered one by one.
Xu Dongru asked what kind of work he does, how much is his salary, and will he have a pension when he gets old in the future?
At this time, Xu Qingzhi grabbed her grandfather, "The bayberry wine in the house is brewed, and it tastes good." Grandpa, do you want to drink? ”
If she doesn't stop it, her grandfather can still ask countless questions.
Xu Dongru didn't ask, and said: "You can keep the delicious things for yourself, and Ah Gong won't drink them." ”
"There's a lot of brewing, you can taste it." Xu Qingzhi directly pulled him into the house, poured him a glass of bayberry wine, and poured Jiang Xiao and Huo Fengyan a glass each.
This afternoon, they have been weeding on the flat land in the back mountain, which is quite hard.
Xu Qingzhi didn't let them go, they had to go.
Especially Jiang Xiao, who has been rushing to do work everywhere recently, as if he wants to squeeze all the energy out of his body.
In the past, it was Wen Shanshan who came over, and he came.
Recently, Jiang Xiao has come every day, and a lot of the work that Xu Qingzhi was going to do was robbed by him.
"This wine is delicious." Xu Dongru drank a lot of wine, and this fruit wine was not strong, so he drank it in three or four sips, "This bayberry fruit is good, and the wine tastes good." In the past, your sister-in-law loved to drink fruit wine and make it herself, and the grapes she planted herself at that time also made wine very delicious. ”
Xu Qingzhi remembered that children were not allowed to drink alcohol at home before they were minors.
However, the fruit wine with a low degree is an exception, and the wine made by the sister-in-law's family has a fruity aroma and a wine taste, which is particularly delicious.
Later, when she became an adult, she bought a lot of wine outside, but none of them were the fruit wine flavor that she remembered her sister-in-law brewed. The wines she bought were more winey, and she didn't like to drink them.
This is also one of the origins of Xu Qingzhi's homesickness and making wine in the world of cultivating immortals. She tasted it once as a child and never forgot it, so she made it herself.
There is also rice wine, and the taste of the rice wine brewed by the sister-in-law's family is also relatively light, which can be regarded as sweet wine, but the saying here in Taoshui Village likes to be called rice wine, and there is no sweet wine.
The rice wine bought outside tasted strong and light, but it was not as delicious as the sister-in-law's own brewing.
"I know lightly, I'll go first." When Xu Dongru thought of his little daughter, he couldn't rest assured, "I'll go to your sister-in-law's house." ”
Xu Qingzhi stopped him: "So far, I'll ride a three-wheeled ride to see you off." ”
"You don't need to send it, it's not a few steps, just a walk. I've been getting stronger on my legs lately, and I'm more flexible when I walk. Usually when it rains at home, these bones are about to rust. If Xu Dong refused, he raised his feet and walked out.
Xu Qing knew that he couldn't resist his grandfather at this time, "Then you can help me bring some bayberry wine to my sister-in-law by the way." ”
Although there are not many contacts, the sister-in-law is very gentle,
Xu Qingzhi looked at the bayberry wine that still had half a jar left, and went to get a clean bottle to put it up.
If this wine was for Xu Dongru to drink by himself, most of the old man would not be willing, but when he heard that it was for his youngest daughter, he nodded and accepted it.
He carried a bottle of bayberry wine and walked all the way to his youngest daughter's house.
The dilapidated wooden door was half-hidden all year round, Xu Dongru pushed open the door and shouted in a loud voice: "Fuchun." ”
"Huh." Xu Fuchun answered, she was sitting on the bed in the back room, watching the short video on the mobile phone in front of her, she staggered up and walked out.
After walking a few steps, Xu Dongru had already come in, looking at the dark and damp room, her daughter's two trembling hands, her eyes were red, "Why did your left hand start to tremble?" When? ”
Xu Fuchun's right hand trembled badly, and his left hand only trembled slightly, "It rained a few days ago, and this left hand also began to tremble, Dad, don't worry, it's all a matter of time, I know it in my heart." ”
The old man's heart was even more uncomfortable, the five children in the family, the eldest daughter died early, the other three sons were okay, and it was difficult for the rich and strong to live, and now it is also booming, but the little girl is not having a good time.
"Fuchun, when are you going to Kyoto for a checkup? I talked about it last time, why have you been dragging it out, I'm going to ask this second dog baby today. "What the old man said is gritting his teeth, Ergouwa is the nickname of Fuchun's husband.
When he was happy, Xu Dongru called him a good son-in-law, and when he was unhappy, he called him a second dog baby in private!
"He's been busy making rice in the field these days, Dad, don't talk about him, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that I'm reluctant to spend this money. Anyway, at this age, I am almost alive, and if I go to Kyoto, I may not have to spend a lot of money to see a doctor, and it will add to the burden on my two children. Xu Fuchun sighed, "My life, that's it, Dad, don't worry about me." ”
Xu Dongru took out a black plastic bag from the pocket of his pants, opened the plastic bag, counted the neatly folded money inside, and left the last few pieces of ten and five yuan, and the others were stacked into a pile and stuffed into the hands of his little daughter.
"What's the life, when I was a teenager, I had a serious illness, your grandma said that I was not saved, I was so stunned and lay in bed for three or four years, and now I live to more than seventy, you take the money to go to Kyoto to see a doctor, and there is no money later, so I will ask your three brothers for it, if anyone dares to ignore you, I will carry a hoe and kill him!"
"Dad, I don't want it." Xu Fuchun stuffed the money back.
"You keep it!"
Xu Fuchun's tears fell out, the illness had already tormented her to be emaciated, and the whole person was lifeless, her hand holding the money trembled even more, and she desperately stuffed it back: "Dad, I can't ask for this money, usually during the New Year's holidays, you don't take the money I give you." When you are a hundred years old, I'm afraid that I will be long gone, and I won't even be able to make up the coffin money, so you can keep it for yourself and leave me alone. ”
"You just have to take it, why are you so tough." Xu Dongru frowned, reached out and knocked her head directly, "You, you're a stupid braincase, you give you money and take it, and the fool pushes the money out." ”
Xu Fuchun pinched the wad of money, as if she was pinching a thousand catties, but soon, she found a problem, "Dad, where did you get this money?" Are you looking for my brothers to help me get it? ”
This thick pile, to say the least, has seven or eight thousand.
His annual living expenses are a few hundred yuan and a few hundred catties of rice per son, and he has to pay back some red envelopes to his juniors every year, where does he get so much money.
It's not for my brothers, how can there be so many.
Xu Dongru put his hand on the table, and there was a bit of pride in his tone: "I earned it myself, old man, so you just take it, don't push it around, it's not good-looking." ”
