Chapter 25 Hometown Trip
Grandpa raised his head: "Zixiu, are you back?" Grandma also said hello and continued to work with her head bowed.
Yan Zixiu moved the thresher down and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, grandma, don't peel corn." Look at me bringing you a good thing. ”
"What's this?" Grandpa asked.
"Hand crank corn thresher." Yan Zixiu said that he had set up the machine, took a corn cob, cranked the wheel with his left hand, and pushed it into the work tube with his right hand.
The two old men were a little surprised: "Is this hard?" ”
"Grandpa, grandma, you try."
Both of them tried it and thought it was effortless and pretty good.
"How much is this? Where to buy it? Grandpa asked.
"I didn't need money for my classmates, I have it at home and at my uncle's house." Yan Zixiu was afraid that his grandfather wouldn't want it, so he hurriedly said.
"It's a hassle." Grandpa said. Grandma laughed too.
Grandpa asked again, "Are you thirsty?" Hungry or not? ”
"Not thirsty, not hungry. I've got some other stuff for you. Yan Zixiu said, taking a cloth bag from the front beam of the bicycle. When he came, he packed a cloth bag and put it in the Qiankun ring, and only put it on the girder when he arrived at the door. If you have a Qiankun ring, why bother to bring so many sundries on the road. He's not that stupid.
He took it out in the same way: "These are water spirit pears, boiled water to drink, cure cough." Nootropic tea can be drunk occasionally by students, and if you learn quickly, you can both drink it. This tube is a tranquilizing incense, and the burning method of Anopheles coil can be, which is good for sleep. Isn't my grandmother's sleep not very good? These two sets of clothes were bought by me in the capital, and they are better than leather jackets. ”
"Don't learn to spend money. Shui Lingli, your family sent us some a few days ago. "Grandpa and grandma have been poor for a long time, and they are afraid that the children will be extravagant and wasteful. However, the two old men said that they were afraid of spending money, but their faces were happy.
"It didn't cost anything. Didn't you say when you were a child, let you wear a leather jacket when you grow up, it's better than a leather jacket, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, and you don't need to wash it. My third uncle and three concubines are not at home? ”
"Your third uncle is at school, and your third concubine has gone to the ground." Grandpa replied, pulling a small stool for Yan Zixiu to sit down and talk. Grandma took the things and moved her little feet to the house. Grandma once told Yan Zixiu a truth: "Mules are big, horses are valuable, and people are 'big' and worthless." "Mules and horses, tall and strong, of course they are valuable. But people can't be "big", and this big means arrogant. When a person becomes arrogant, he will lower his favor in the hearts of others. Yan Zixiu always remembered this sentence and warned himself not to swell.
The third uncle was kind and taught at Baogong Middle School. He is versatile, can play, play and sing, and studied movie scripts when he was young. When Yan Zixiu was in elementary school, in the morning mist in the willow forest, he could often hear the sound of the third uncle's flute or erhu. The third uncle is also very handsome, so he was an idol man back then. The third concubine is also an avid fan of the third uncle, but she is the successful one.
Yan Zixiu sat down and looked up at the big elm tree. This elm tree is five or six feet tall, and in the spring, it grows a lot of elm. He remembers that when he was a child, the second brother would climb trees, and it was usually the second brother who climbed up to pick elm money. The yellow-green elm money, with a light and sweet taste, is still fresh in my memory. Yuqian can be made into Yuqian Wotou with some mixed noodles, although it is a little slimy, but it also has a unique flavor.
Grandpa took out his dry tobacco bag, pinched out some broken tobacco leaves from the tobacco leaf bag, put them in the pot of the tobacco bag, pressed them solidly, and lit them with matches. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Have you been busy lately?" ”
"It's a bit busy. A few days ago, I went to the capital and held a meeting at the regional administrative office, and Commissioner Wu of the administrative department attached great importance to me. Although Yan Zixiu didn't care much about this kind of attention, he knew that his grandfather and grandmother, as honest people, had been bullied a lot in the past, so he said it to them to give them some confidence and let them not be too timid and afraid. Grandpa joined the army in the old society, but he couldn't eat and couldn't go after failing in business. He had a kind personality, and when people were fighting, he would lie in the wheat field and knead the wheat kernels to eat, and sometimes shoot him in the sky.
"Do the commissioners value you? That's a good thing. Grandpa laughed.
Yan Zixiu said, "Tomorrow I will go to the Autumn Canton Fair with Commissioner Wu. ”
"Canton Fair, that's quite far." Grandpa was more relieved, and felt that his nephew had a chance: "Don't leave at noon, let your concubine make you something to eat." "Grandma is old, and she cooks three concubines.
"No, I'm going to go to the west and south. I'll come back to see you next time. Yan Zixiu saw that his grandfather's dry tobacco was finished, so he stood up and shouted into the house, "Grandma, I'm leaving, I'll go to the west to have a look." ”
Grandma walked out: "Aren't eating here?" Grandpa also stood up.
"If you don't eat it, you eat it in the west and the south, it's all the same. Take care of your health. Grandpa, I'm leaving. Yan Zixiu waved at the two old men and pushed the bicycle out of the gate.
Before leaving, Yan Zixiu looked at the anger on the heads of the two old men, and felt that it was normal, so he was relieved. He did not get on the cart, but pushed the cart to his second uncle's house, not far to the south, dropped down eighty threshers not far away, and shouted, "Is the second uncle at home?" ”
"Zixiu, why are you here?" The second uncle appeared at the gate. His name is Ciyi, he is tall, and he is the most handsome of the three uncles. When Yan Zixiu couldn't walk when he was a child, his second uncle helped take care of him after school. Yan Zixiu had a characteristic when he was a child, no matter who held him, he couldn't stay still, and he cried and made a fuss if he didn't move. So the second uncle kept walking around with him, which was very hard. At that time, the second uncle was only a teenager. It is also because of this that Yan Zixiu is very close and grateful to his second uncle.
"It's okay today, go home and see. I just talked to my grandpa and grandma for a while. ”
"Come in, we're peeling corn."
"Don't panic yet, second uncle, look at these machines."
"What is this? Corn thresher? Where did it come from? ”
"Second uncle, have you seen it?"
"I heard about it a few days ago, and your village is using it. I'm going to borrow one. ”
Yan Zixiu said: "No need to borrow. These were given to me by my classmates. Just unloaded the truck and put it here. Give your second uncle twenty units. You can use it as you want. ”
The second uncle was surprised: "How much does this cost?" Are your classmates generous? ”
"The ex-factory price is forty-five, and the market price is sixty. If you still need it, I will help you contact the manufacturer when the time comes, and you can basically get a factory price. ”
"After that, twenty units are enough in front of you."
"There are still twenty units, and you can look at the relatives here. The other forty units, I want to keep them for my relatives in Xitou, and come back and let them pull them. Yan Zixiu explained one by one.
"Okay. Put it here with me, no less. ”
"There are also water spirit pears, nootropic tea, and tranquility incense. Didn't I sleep well? This tranquil incense is very effective when lit a little before going to bed. Yan Zixiu copied the one at his grandfather's house, taking things the same. However, he didn't give the clothes to his uncles and concubines for the time being, mainly because they were still young. Besides, everyone has the impression that you have a salary of more than 100 yuan a month, where are there so many things? It's a question that isn't clear for a while.
"Look at you, you still have a lot of things."
"It's not easy not to come, and there aren't many things. Then I'll go to the west and have a look. Do you want me to help you move your twenty units in? ”
The second uncle had a big shoulder and a round waist, and he said with a smile: "No, no." Are you still sitting at home? ”
"Don't sit down. I'm gone, second uncle. ”
Yan Zixiu said goodbye to his second uncle and still didn't ride a bicycle because he had a key question to solve.
Not far from the second uncle's house, turning a corner in the set, there is a big grave that is very old, two or three zhang square. In the past, there was a cow house of the village collective next to it, and there were some large carts. Not anymore.
Yan Zixiu was timid when he was a child, and he was scared every time he passed by here.
He wanted to see what was going on this time. Ever since he had the Immortal Mansion, he hadn't been afraid of anything. Besides, he is now wearing the clothes of Xianfu, which is said to be waterproof, fireproof, and demon-proof, and he also wants to try the effect. In order to be safe, he stood far away, and opened the small protective array to protect his whole body, and the whole person seemed to stay in a transparent cover.
Hope for luck!
I saw that the big grave was indeed bubbling black and yellow. The black gas seemed to sense that someone was watching, and some of them rushed towards it in a hurry. When it touches the shield, it is as if the snow and ice meet hot water and melt with moisture. The black qi hurriedly retracted.
Shroud steward! Yan Zixiu was very determined, but this time he didn't have a chance to test the clothes.
According to the introduction of Wangqi, these black and yellow qi are just grievances and annoyances accumulated many years ago, and they are not a big problem for healthy people. However, since he met Yan Zixiu, he had to clean it up, so as not to harm the weak people.
"I can't ignore this." When Yan Zixiu thought of eliminating harm for the people, he found that the column of the Spirit Rune Hall in the treasure list had been updated.
