Chapter 424: Go through the motions
"Master, how do you go ahead?!"
"Turn right at the three-way intersection in front of you, then go straight."
Wubai pressed the switch, the window came down, the cold wind came coming, Wubai quickly pressed the switch, the window closed, Wubai tentatively glanced at Mu Liwu.
"The cooling was a bit sudden."
"If it's not cold, it'll be winter."
The mobile phone screen lit up, Mu Liwu picked up the phone and glanced at it, the photo sent by Erbai, he actually went to the strawberry base in Nanjiang with Nanshi.
"It's not far from Nanjiang College." Immediately after that, Erbai sent a message.
"Pick more."
Erbai took a picture of Nanxing, just in time to see Nan Jinmu stealing strawberries, Erbai directly took a picture, Nan Jinmu looked up, and there was strawberry juice at the corner of his mouth.
"Second master, you're just..."
"It's not promising!" Nanshi came to a sentence.
Nan Jinmu glanced back at Nan Shi, Nan Shi threw the strawberry directly, and ate it in his mouth, Nan Xing looked dumbfounded.
"Grandpa is so amazing!" Nanxing clapped his hands and said.
"My uncle's strawberries are so beautiful."
"Yes, that's for your aunt."
"Second master, is this a proposition or a sub-question?!" Nan Jinmu said teasingly.
"Look at Ah Li's mood."
"Hahahaha!" Nanshi burst out laughing.
"I'm going to bring it back to my little grandfather." Nanxing said suddenly.
"How's Nan Mo?!" Erbai asked casually.
"Uncle has been discharged from the hospital, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pick strawberries today."
Nan Mo was indeed discharged from the hospital, but his mental condition was not very good, he always liked to stay alone, originally Mu Liwu had withdrawn that breath away, and Nan Mo temporarily returned to normal life, but because of the car accident, it actually reminded him of many things, including forgotten things.
"Turn right ahead, the road down is not good, it may be a little bumpy."
Ah Ling turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the right, Mu Liwu was right, the road down was indeed not very good, the car was a little bumpy, and Wubai hurriedly held on to the handrail on the roof of the car.
"Take it easy."
"That's it."
Ah Ling stepped on the brakes and drove down slowly, the slope was a little high, the heart of Wubai had already mentioned his throat, he could see which one it was at a glance, the awning was on, although it didn't rain today, but it was not small last night, so it was a little cold.
"Park the car in the field."
Mu Liwu opened the car door and got out of the car, Wubai also hurriedly got out of the car, Ah Ling looked at the rear mirror and poured the car into the ground, so that the roadside could be vacated, and the roads in the village were not wide.
"This road is a little..."Wubai glanced down, stepped on the mud on his sneakers, and looked at Mu Liwu, Mu Liwu's shoes were actually fine, Wubai hurriedly walked over.
Ah Ling opened the car door and got out of the car, Mu Liwu stood up the collar of the sportswear, and put his hands in his pockets, the three of them were actually wearing black sportswear, and they didn't know that they thought they were going to fight.
The sound of firecrackers rang out, Mu Liwu stopped, and waited for the firecrackers to pass before going into the courtyard.
"You are..."
"Qiuqiu's friend!"
Mu Liwu took out the cash from his pocket and put it on the table, the man handed the pen to Mu Liwu, Mu Liwu took it, wrote his name in the notebook, the man counted the money, and then wrote the number below.
"Which of you comes first!" Mu Liwu handed over the pen, Ah Ling took it first, wrote his name in the notebook, put the money on the table, Wubai turned sideways, counted the cash in his pocket, and put the cash on the table.
The man brought a stool, melon seeds and peanuts, and soon a teapot and a teacup.
"You sit down first!"
"Good!"
Mu Liwu sat down, Ah Ling grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peeled them, and surrounded them in vain, there would be no one here, and there were a few old people drinking tea in the yard.
"Master, why is there no one?!"
"Maybe they're all busy!" Mu Liwu said casually.
Han's mother burned the paper money in a basin, and lit incense and candles, which were all ordered by Taoist priests, and this is the case in the countryside, when the old people at home are gone, they will invite Taoist priests, and then put them at home for three days, and they will be sent out on the fourth day.
"Why is she here?!" Han's mother said to herself.
"Who?!" Father Han asked casually.
"Nobody..."
"She's not here to ask for money." A voice sounded in Han's mother's heart.
"Han Qiu!"
"What did you call her for?!"
"Her friend is here."
"I'll let her out in a minute!" Han's mother added.
There is a custom in the countryside that after the old man leaves, her children and descendants should be guarded by her side, which is called a wake, and incense and candles should be lit to illuminate it, so that she can see it when she goes to reincarnate.
"Look, the candle can't be extinguished." Han's mother instructed Han's father, went to the room and turned over a bag of paper, just as Han Qiu came out of the toilet, Han's mother took the bag on the ground and walked over, handed the bag to Han Qiu, and Han Qiu took it.
"You go upstairs and fold the silver dollar."
"There will be no one here, so quickly fold it out!"
"Oh." Han Qiu didn't think much about it, and went upstairs with the bag, this is her uncle's house, she doesn't like it very much, but because his yard is big, otherwise he can't put so many tables, after all, there are a lot of them, and the feng shui on his side is good.
"Auntie."
"Wear more."
Han Qiu sat on the sofa, the boy pulled his coat and came to Han Qiu's side, Han Qiu helped him put on his coat, he was the grandson of his uncle, and he usually liked to follow Han Qiu.
"Auntie, what is this?!"
"Silver dollars."
"How do you fold?!"
Han Qiu took a piece of paper, folded it in half, folded it in half, inserted the horn in, and took out the paper inside, like a small boat that he usually folded, and like a gold ingot.
"It's like a boat!"
"That's right! The folding method is the same. ”
Mother Han sat down and glanced through the crack in the door, Mu Liwu sat at the table, Ah Ling and Wubai stood behind Mu Liwu, this formation looked a little scary, and Mother Han felt that Mu Liwu was here to find trouble.
"Xiaoli!"
"Uncle." Mu Liwu hurriedly got up.
"Where's Qiuqiu?!"
"Maybe I'm busy!"
"By the way, I brought some things for my grandfather and uncle." Mu Liwu turned sideways and said, "Ah Ling, you take your uncle to get it." ”
"What a thing! It's good when people arrive. ”
Ah Ling put the peeled melon seeds in a paper cup, and used disposable paper cups for banquets in rural areas, which is more convenient, after all, who will prepare so many cups.
Mu Liwu peeled peanuts, this is fried peanuts, so it is more fragrant, Mu Liwu likes to peel off the peanut skin, so that it looks clean, Wu Bai is bored and walks around, he sees an orange tree, according to his experience, this orange should be very sweet, Wu Bai walked over, picked an orange on the tree, peeled off the orange peel, broke a petal of orange and put it in his mouth, I didn't expect it to be so sweet, Wu Bai picked two more oranges.
"It rained last night and the road was really slippery." One of the men who spoke, and another man carried a basket of vegetables that had just been bought, and it seemed that they should have gone to the market early in the morning.
"The water is so cold." One of the women said.
"The twentieth of next month will be the winter solstice."
"Isn't it much colder this year?"
Wubai glanced down, just now Gu picked oranges, the sneakers were full of mud, and it was still thin mud, Wubai hurriedly scraped on the stones on the side of the road.
"Master, this orange is so delicious."
"I'm pretty good at eating."
Wubai cleaned up the orange line, Mu Liwu took a petal and put it in his mouth, it is indeed very sweet, Chongqing is called Hongpao orange, Nanjiang is called touch orange, this time is just there.
"Has Master ever eaten a banquet in the countryside?!"
"Nope!"
"Master, why didn't she come out!"
"Maybe you don't dare!"
Wubai looked sideways at Mu Liwu, didn't understand what she said, Mu Liwu took a piece of paper and wiped his hands, and peeled the peanuts again, he drank a lot of tea, and he ate a lot of peanuts on the plate, and the melon seeds were not easy to peel, so Mu Liwu didn't move, so Ah Ling grabbed a handful.
"Division... Master! ”
Mu Liwu looked up and saw Ah Ling holding the box, the key was that he actually hugged three boxes, the box was apples and bananas, and a box of longan, which Mu Liwu wanted to take back to eat, I didn't think Ah Ling actually brought it all, the uncle was carrying rice and oil in one hand, and the other hand was carrying a bag behind him, which was the bread and some dried fruits he bought.
"He's not going to be stupid!" Mu Li said in a low voice.
"Maybe!"
"Xiaoli is also here."
"Grandpa!" Mu Liwu hurriedly got up.
Grandpa pumped the stool, and actually pulled out three stools, Mu Liwu looked dumbfounded, grandpa pushed the stool next to Wubai, and tried to sit down in vain.
"The day before your grandmother left, she was still talking about you."
Wubai took the teapot and poured the tea, put the paper cup in front of his grandfather, who wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes.
"Grandpa, mourn and change!"
"Your grandmother has not suffered any sin, and those who have that disease will basically not be able to escape."
"Grandpa, you have to pay attention to your body."
"Qiuqiu, why didn't you come out!"
"I haven't seen her since I came."
"Hard work Qiuqiu, after your grandmother got sick, she took care of her, she kept watch all night last night, maybe she will sleep upstairs, or I'll call her."
"No!" Mu Liwu stretched out his hand to support his grandfather's arm, his grandfather looked at Mu Liwu, and Mu Liwu nodded.
"Let her rest!"
Mu Liwu took out a stack of money from his pocket, and put the money in his grandfather's hand when he was not paying attention, his grandfather pushed it, Mu Liwu nodded, and his grandfather could only put it away.
"Grandpa, take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Xiaoli."
Mu Liwu took the teacup and raised it, grandpa picked up the teacup and held it with his hand, Wubai was really real, he poured the cup directly, and almost spilled it, the paper cup is not like a cup, it was already soft, and my grandfather quickly took a sip.
"Dad, the Taoist priest asked you for your old mother's clothes."
"Right away."
"Xiaoli, you sit first."
"Grandpa, go get busy!"
Ah Ling walked over, still holding a grapefruit in his hand, it should have been just picked, Mu Liwu grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his pocket, got up and walked out to the yard, Ah Ling hurriedly followed.
"Master, we are..."
"Let's go!"
"No..."
Mu Liwu pushed his sleeve, looked down at his watch, and it was exactly two hours since he came, and Mu Liwu walked forward with his back hand.
"Are you stupid!" When Wu Bai said this, he took the grapefruit in Ah Ling's hand.
"You're stupid!"
"Don't you find it strange, for example, how the box is singular?"
"Oops!" Ah Ling secretly complained.
"It's okay, buy a box to make up for it on the way back." Wubai said teasingly.
Wubai stretched out his hand to support Ah Ling's shoulder, Ah Ling shook his shoulder, shook Wubai's hand away, Wubai raised his hand, looked up and saw Mu Li's worried expression, and quickly put his hand down.
