Chapter 60: A Visit to Zhao Jianchuan
Everyone was happy when things came to an end, Lin Lishu and they only left on the front foot, and Lin Guoan came back on the back foot, and they also brought a lot of fresh river shrimp and an eel.
Lin Liqing's eyes lit up, "Second sister-in-law, where did you get the big eel for the Chinese New Year?" ”
At this time, even if you have money, you don't have a place to buy it.
Yu Xiaoping covered her mouth and smiled, "My eldest sister gave it, my brother-in-law's sister married to Shigang County, they are by the sea, my eldest sister specially confessed a few, I only got it on the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, today I went back to my mother's house and she brought it back, saying that I left one for you, let our mother make it at night, steamed or boiled soup is delicious." ”
"That's too much money!" Lin Liqing was a little embarrassed.
Yu Xiaoping went straight to the kitchen with her things and said, "What's the cost!" During this time, she worked at your side and saved more money than the two of them worked hard for several years, so she couldn't thank you!
It's just that the family is poor, and I can't get good things if I want to thank you, just before I accidentally said that you like to eat seafood, but I didn't expect her to remember, this thing must be expensive for us to buy, but my eldest sister has a way, and relatives will charge some capital, and they won't buy expensive, you can eat with confidence. ”
When Yu Xiaoping said this, Lin Liqing also accepted it with peace of mind, and then said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you go back and tell Sister Xiaomei, if you are too busy, you can go to work in the workshop in the fourth year of junior high school, if you are too busy, let her watch the arrangement, and give me an approximate time." ”
"No problem." Yu Xiaoping responded sharply, and said by the way: "Tomorrow, your second brother is going to visit his comrade-in-arms, do you want to go and see it together?" After all, it's better for you to hire someone and see it yourself. ”
When Lin Liqing heard this, she was also interested, and quickly nodded, "Cheng, I'll go with my second brother tomorrow, and I just went to my aunt's side to see my eldest cousin, I haven't seen her for so long, and I don't know what the situation is." ”
After the sister-in-law discussed, Lin Liqing hurriedly went to prepare gifts, and the snacks and candies she brought back could still be divided, but it was not enough to see, and in the end, Lin Changmin went to the nearby village to inquire about who was going to kill the pig, ordered some pork, and then bought some noodles in the town, so he barely made up two more handy New Year's gifts.
Early the next morning, it was originally Lin Liqing and Lin Guoan who went out together, Yan Jianguo was not at ease and went with him, and the three of them talked about doing business on the road, and Yan Jianguo also asked the truck driver.
Lin Guoan fell into deep thought, "I really know a few truck drivers, but it has nothing to do with the brick kiln factory, it is my friend, there is a logistics work in a government agency, responsible for purchasing and transporting, such as the ingredients for the canteen, the stationery for the office, and even the saplings in the green belt are all in charge of docking."
I don't know if this kind of help for you, and there is another little sister who also knows, that is, the eldest son of the second aunt, who started running trucks with others last year, and I don't know what I do. ”
Lin Liqing looked at the two New Year's gifts, glanced at Yan Jianguo, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have a shortage of things."
Lin Guoan's comrades-in-arms live in Changfu Village in the south of the city, and they have to cross an urban area to cross one south and one north with their Jiaonan Village, and they can't reach it by bicycle for more than two hours.
Although the three of them set off at dawn, it was still past nine o'clock when they arrived at Changfu Village.
The villagers of the entire Changfu Village are almost all surnamed Zhao, Lin Guoan's comrade-in-arms is called Zhao Jianchuan, who lives in a small farm yard not far from the entrance of the village, Changfu Village is close to the mountain, the houses in the village are not as dense as Jiaonan Village, but more scattered, Zhao Jianchuan's house is on a half-hillside, and you have to climb a sheep intestine path first.
A small piece of vegetable land was reclaimed on both sides of the mountain road, all of which were green vegetables growing well, and many fruit trees were planted on the slope, which Lin Liqing didn't know at all.
Lin Guoan introduced to them: "Changfu Village mainly grows green jujubes, there are many mountains here, and the villagers mainly rely on fruit trees to make money, so the conditions are worse than in our village." ”
At least Jiaonan Village still grows grain, fruit trees are just icing on the cake, here all rely on fruit trees to live, and it is not a necessity of life, and there are too many things to sell at a good price, and the days can be imagined.
The three of them finally went up the hillside to the door of Zhao Jianchuan's house, and first saw a peasant woman tying bamboo in the yard through the fence, and there were three children playing on the side.
Lin Guoan stepped forward and shouted, "Sister-in-law, is Brother Jianchuan at home?" ”
Xu Chunhua raised her head to face the three unfamiliar faces, a moment of confusion flashed on her numb face, she got up and patted the sawdust and dust on her body, stepped forward and said, "He went to work in the mountains, you are"
"Oh, I'm his comrade-in-arms, and I'm here to talk to him about something today." Lin Guoan smiled very kindly.
Xu is because the three of them are not badly dressed, unlike liars and bad guys, Xu Chunhua opened the fence door and invited them into the house, and shouted again, "Dog, go and call your dad back, just say that there are guests at home." ”
"Okay!" The big boy ran out like a monkey.
The two small ones hid at the door and looked at Lin Guoan and the three of them curiously.
While Xu Chunhua went to the kitchen to pour water, Lin Liqing beckoned to the two children and attracted them with candy.
The two children immediately ran towards her and took the candy handed over by Lin Liqing.
Lin Liqing took the opportunity to ask, "Are your parents busy?" I have to go up the mountain for the New Year. ”
The older girl nodded and whispered, "Dad said that if you can't finish the farm work, you can do it slowly, and you can definitely do it well if you are more diligent than others." ”
Lin Liqing touched the child's head and smiled approvingly.
At this time, Xu Chunhua came in with water and saw that the sugar in the hands of the two children had changed greatly.
Lin Liqing put the bag in front of Xu Chunhua before she got angry, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is a little thing we brought to you and your eldest brother, and the candy is for the children to eat, and I am happy to see them so happy." ”
"That's embarrassing." Xu Chunhua was a little at a loss, obviously she was not very good at this kind of human sophistication, she wanted to reprimand the child, but because Lin Liqing couldn't open her mouth, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only turn around and say, "You guys stay and eat at noon, I'll go and prepare." ”
Saying so, Xu Chunhua was a little difficult, and there were three hens at home, all of whom were going to lay eggs, because they were poor, they didn't buy any meat, and there were only some greens in the field, which was obviously not enough.
Seeing Xu Chunhua's preoccupied appearance, Lin Liqing stepped forward and pulled someone to sit down, and said very understandingly: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, we came here because we want to discuss something with Brother Zhao, just sit and leave, I have to go to my relative's house for a while, but I can't stay and eat." ”
As soon as Lin Liqing said this, Xu Chunhua instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that she couldn't go.
