Chapter 8 Letter to Liu Chen, no shame
Back home.
Putting the cart down, Liu Chen washed his hands and face, and walked into the hall.
There was a prepared meal on the Eight Immortals, and Han Donghua and Mengmeng were already sitting there.
Apparently waiting for him to come back and have dinner together.
Mengmeng glanced at Liu Chen and said timidly, "Dad, eat." ”
At this sound, Liu Chen's heart trembled with excitement in an instant, his nose was sore, his eyes were moist, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
"Hey, okay, eat, eat."
Liu Chen agreed and walked over and sat down, picked up the bowl and pulled a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth with chopsticks.
Liu Chen put down the bowl, took out 28 yuan from his pocket and put it in front of Han Donghua, smiled innocently, and said, "Donghua, give it, you take it." ”
Han Donghua lowered his head, his eyes fell on the banknotes, but he also saw Liu Chen's hands that had broken several bloody wounds.
Her tears could no longer hold back the fluttering and rolling down.
These are tears of happiness.
It is the tears of the rest of the life.
Keep the clouds open and see the moon, this man has really changed.
"Huh...... What are you crying about, you still cry when you have money. Liu Chen was joking, but his heart was also sour.
Han Donghua put the money away and pushed the plate of eggs towards Liu Chen.
Liu Chen picked up a piece of egg and put it in the Meng Meng bowl, and said softly: "Meng Meng, eat eggs." ”
Meng Meng looked up at Han Donghua.
Han Donghua said: "Eat." ”
"Zhao Huaili, they thought that the money given by a car was less, so they asked the driver to increase the price, but the driver refused, so they stopped doing it, and I will pull it alone today."
……
"They are now determined not to pull if the price is not raised, and the drivers say that they will leave if they don't pull it, so that the potatoes all over the ground will rot in the field."
……
"I think so, after eating, I went to the secretary to lend the tractor in the village, and then tied our car and the secretary's board car to the back of the body, so that one car can earn 7 yuan."
……
"I'm going to let the families help load the car, and when the time comes, give them another dollar for a car, and they will earn a net of six yuan, and they can pull all the potatoes in our village in one night."
"I'm not at home at night, you and Mengmeng fork the door and the door."
Liu Chen naturally told her the plan.
In the past few years, he would not tell Han Donghua about anything, and Han Donghua would ask a few words at first, but in exchange for either abuse or violent beating, she didn't ask later.
Han Donghua was silent.
Liu Chen smiled and took it and packed it, finished the rest of the meal, and reached out to collect the bowl, but Han Donghua took it first.
There was no smile though.
Although there are no words.
But Liu Chen could see Han Donghua's support for him from her eyes and movements.
Liu Chen stretched out his hand to Han Donghua and said, "Give 5 yuan." ”
Han Donghua was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him, his eyes full of doubt and shock.
"Oh, go to the secretary to borrow a tractor, I can't go empty-handed, buy him two boxes of cigarettes." Liu Chen explained with a smile.
Han Donghua took out 5 yuan and handed it to him, his eyes full of reluctance.
In the past few years, this 5 yuan is a huge amount of money for this family.
In order to borrow 5 yuan back then, Han Donghua saw all the white eyes and endured ridicule.
Although Liu Chen said that she was taking the money to do business, she was still worried that Liu Chen would use it as an excuse to gamble.
"Donghua, I'm not at home at night, but I have to close the door."
Telling him again, Liu Chen loaded the money, pulled the cart and went out of the gate.
Liu Chen bought two packs of good cigarettes at the shop and pulled a cart to the secretary's house.
The former secretary of Shuanghe Village was sentenced to prison because of the land requisition, and the current secretary, Liu Zhengliang, was voted for by the villagers.
Liu Chen put down his cigarette and explained his intention.
Liu Zhengliang was very satisfied with Liu Chen's prodigal son's return, and gave him the tractor and his family's board car without saying a word.
Liu Chen fixed the two cars side by side behind the body and drove the tractor to the cart to collect potatoes.
The drivers saw that Liu Chen was really coming, and they didn't talk nonsense to each other, and commanded Liu Chen to come to the field.
It's just that the potato growers only came to three families, and they also came with the mood of trying it out for a while, and if Liu Chen didn't come, they would go back.
Sudden ......
The tractor whizzed along.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."
"I didn't expect this kid to be reliable once."
"It seems that he is really a prodigal son."
"Xiao Chen, hey, Xiao Chen, come here first, pull my house first."
Liu Chen parked the tractor, said hello simply, didn't talk nonsense, and directly began to load potatoes.
There was no need for Liu Chen to say anything more, and the potato growers also began to help load the trucks.
Now the other family has gone to the village, and he wants to call the other growers to come and try to pull all the potatoes out tonight.
Gradually, there were more and more people, and all the people who came, regardless of whether they were in their own land or not, all came up to help each other.
It took 10 minutes to load a truck at first, then 8 minutes, and finally about 3 to 5 minutes to fill a body, including the two pallet trucks in the back.
The truck was filled with buckets, and the growers jumped on it and followed to unload the truck.
No one talked much during the whole process, just thinking about quickly filling it up and pulling it over.
On the side of the big truck, the drivers and masters are also ready, and the unloaded potatoes are directly loaded into the truck.
Many of the potatoes were pulled, but they didn't go back after loading, and took the initiative to stay behind to help.
Nearly 100 acres of potatoes were all pulled at the dawn of the day.
Liu Chen sat on the tractor, facing the morning light in the east, and a satisfied smile appeared on his tired face.
"Liu Chen!"
Uncle Qinglin walked over, held his hand, and said excitedly: "Child, Uncle misunderstood you yesterday, don't say anything else, thank you!" ”
"Liu Chen has really changed, okay, it's really good."
"As long as you work hard, Liu Chen, if you need help in the future, just tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you."
"Young man, good job, a talent!" The bearded driver said with a smile.
The drivers greeted Liu Chen one by one and drove away one after another.
After the carts left, Liu Chen beckoned the growers to come over and settle the loading fees for them.
Except for a few who took it, the rest didn't want it.
Not only that, but they were very grateful to Liu Chen, if it weren't for Liu Chen, I'm afraid their potatoes would really rot in the ground.
Liu Chen drove the tractor back to the village, and after handing it over to the secretary, he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it to him, saying that it was the rent of the tractor, no matter how humble the secretary was, he turned around and ran away.
Although 50 yuan is not a decimal number, he is willing to solve the next thing he is about to face smoothly.
Pulling the cart and walking towards home.
In the distance, he saw curling smoke coming from the kitchen chimney of his house.
What could be more blissful and warm?
When he got home and put down the cart, Liu Chen walked directly into the kitchen without washing his hands.
"Donghua, guess how much money we earned last night?"
