Chapter 29: The Waiter
Carrying a large carp of more than twenty catties on the wooden handle of his shovel, Ji Yuanhai returned to the village at the beginning of night.
The ground that had rained was really difficult to walk, especially when it was dark, and even the Era Sea had almost slipped twice.
I entered the village at night, and I didn't meet many people along the way.
When I arrived at the team headquarters, I saw a person standing at the entrance of the team headquarters.
Ji Yuanhai took a closer look and recognized Widow Liu.
Liu Xianglan also saw him and said happily: "You are back!" ”
Ji Yuanhai was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Xianglan didn't speak.
Ji Yuanhai asked again, and she whispered: "I saw that so many people have come back, but you haven't come back......"
This answer was somewhat unexpected, and it was only then that Ji Yuanhai realized what it meant.
She was worried about herself.
This widow Liu is a person who knows how to repay kindness; She remembered the kindness of others to her.
Ji Yuanhai felt a little relieved in his heart.
Not to mention the original close relationship, with such a character, he is not helping the wrong person.
"Well, thank you very much." Ji Yuanhai said.
Ji Yuanhai opened his mouth to say thank you, but Liu Xianglan couldn't help but wipe her tears and cry: "How can you thank me?" I have to thank you, I can't wait to kneel down and kowtow to you, thank you for saving me and Xiaohong. ”
"Last time, our mother and I were hungry to death, and you gave the fish."
"We didn't have anywhere to go this time, but you helped out."
"Ji Yuanhai, I really thank you! Don't say anything else, you have to use it, and I'll help you with anything in the future. ”
Ji Yuanhai saw that she was moved like this, and hurriedly comforted her.
Liu Xianglan didn't know what to do, she was worried that others would see the gossip, so she quickly wiped away her tears, said goodbye to Ji Yuanhai and entered the team site.
Ji Yuanhai carried the big carp to the door of his house, and was just about to go in, when he saw a person sitting on the threshold.
"Heling? What are you doing here? ”
When Lu Heling saw him come back, she said happily: "You can be regarded as coming back!" ”
"I asked my brother, and my brother said that you went to catch fish."
"There is so much water outside, how dangerous it is for you to catch fish, what if you slip and fall into the water if you are not careful?"
Lu Heling couldn't help but step forward and take Ji Yuanhai's hand, carefully looking at him to see if he had fallen.
Ji Yuanhai's heart warmed, took her hand, and walked home with the shovel and fish.
"Don't worry, I can catch a fish, and I can't sink into the water."
"What if?" Lu Heling whispered, "If something happens to you, what can I do?" ”
"Hmm...... That's right. Ji Yuanhai said seriously, "In the future, I will pay attention, I must not take risks easily, okay?" ”
Lu Heling nodded: "Well, okay, you must be good!" ”
"Then you have to be okay too." Ji Yuanhai said.
The two held hands and entered the courtyard, and Ji Yuanshan ran out when he heard the voice: "Yuan Hai, did you catch a fish?" ”
Lu Heling hurriedly let go of her hand and walked behind Ji Yuanhai embarrassedly, only to take a step before she saw the big carp that Ji Yuanhai was carrying, and immediately exclaimed: "So big!" ”
Ji Yuanshan also ran over to take a look, and said happily: "Dad! Come and see, Yuan Hai has caught a big fish! ”
"What's your name?" Grandma Ji Yuanhai was anxious and white-faced, and ran out quickly on tiptoe, "Don't call you a dumb person!" ”
Ji Yuanshan was greatly wronged and didn't dare to shout.
Ji Yuanhai put the carp down, and after grandma saw it, she was also overjoyed.
Ji Yuanhai's grandfather, father, and mother came out when they heard the sound, and when they saw the big carp, they all laughed happily.
This big fish is enough for a whole family to improve their food.
"Wonshan, what's your name! I'm afraid that outsiders won't hear it? ”
Grandpa first lectured Ji Yuanshan, and then looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Yuanhai, you are quite capable, you are good at catching fish!" ”
"You have to remember to catch fish in the future, catch fish at dawn and come back when it's dark."
"You have to pay attention to the front and back of this house, don't make people blush."
"Yes, grandpa, I know." Ji Yuanhai said.
Grandpa is always so old and serious, and he is safe.
The words he said were also the good words of the older generation in the rural areas.
Grandma beckoned her mother to put the carp in the water and kill it tomorrow.
Then beckoned Lu Heling to have dinner with Ji Yuanhai - Lu Heling waited for Ji Yuanhai and hadn't eaten yet.
The two of them ate the nest, drank some boiling water, and went back to their house.
On a rainy night, the frogs outside are particularly cheerful, and even the mosquitoes are very active.
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were stuck together, but there were no mosquitoes to harass, and on a not too hot night, listening to the frogs, their hearts gradually became restless.
"Heling, are you feeling better?"
Ji Yuanhai reached into her clothes.
"It's better." Lu Heling responded softly.
"Come on?"
"Hmm."
The two of them deduced the vitality of the spring breeze blowing all things on the summer night when the frogs were crowing.
Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai woke up and looked at Lu Heling's face, his fair skin was faintly flushed, still bearing the traces of last night's spring breeze.
The eyelashes fanned slightly, and the bright eyes looked at Ji Yuanhai.
Looking at each other, Ji Yuanhai could see her joy and satisfaction, and he was happy in his heart.
Slowly kissed the past, and the two kissed together.
It took a while for the two to get up and get dressed.
In the yard, my grandmother and mother had already killed the big carp and chopped it up.
Lu Heling hurriedly stepped forward to help, and her grandmother waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need, no need, we'll be fine." ”
"If you come here, the more you help." Mother also spoke.
Lu Heling didn't pay attention to this.
Because Ji Yuanhai told her some things about her mother, Lu Heling no longer had hope to satisfy her mother-in-law.
With a cutting sound, the big carp was cut into pieces, and grandma glanced at Ji Yuanhai: "Yuanhai, your grandfather said that this fish is not easy to divide too much, and everyone else in the province knows that our family catches fish." ”
Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said, "Then it's not divided!" ”
"This fish is only twenty catties after killing, our family is a family of seven, not even children, today is open to eat fish meat, don't eat the nest, two meals to ensure the stomach!"
Grandma laughed and said, "That's so good!" ”
"If you count your second uncle and third uncle, they have two families of eight people, which is the kung fu of one meal."
When Ji Yuanhai saw her talking about the second uncle and the third uncle, she obviously also wanted the other two sons to bring their families over to satisfy their hunger.
It's not easy for Ji Yuanhai to refuse this.
He is willing to entertain the third uncle, but the second uncle is talking nonsense, and he is obscene, he really doesn't want to entertain.
"Grandma, second uncle, he always talks nonsense."
"Call him this time, if he goes outside and says I'm catching fish; When I catch fish in the future, I won't give it to anyone to eat. ”
Ji Yuanhai said.
Grandma was surprised: "Yuan Hai, did he say something about you?" ”
"He told outsiders two days ago that I robbed my brother and daughter-in-law to let outsiders see our jokes." Ji Yuanhai said.
"This bastard!" Grandma was angry, smashed the fish's head hard, and stood up: "I'll beat him to give you anger!" ”
Ji Yuanhai hurriedly stopped his grandmother and persuaded her not to be angry.
Although grandma didn't go to beat the second uncle in the end, she didn't talk about letting the second uncle and the third uncle come over to eat together.
