Chapter 204: Return to Xialu Village
The afternoon sun shone on the courtyard of the Li family's mansion, and the Li family had lunch, and was about to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, when she suddenly felt a whim, and involuntarily stepped out of the gate of the house, facing a gust of autumn wind, blowing the ends of her hair.
Li raised his head slightly, brushed the long strand of hair that fell on his forehead with his hand, and at this moment, in the clear blue sky, a flock of geese lined up in a herringbone model and flew south......
Li looked at the high-flying geese from afar, and sighed in his heart: "The geese have all flown south, although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time!" It's time for me to go back home......"
Seeing that the weather was sunny today, it was the day when the autumn breeze sent him back to his hometown, so he returned to the dining room and explained his plan to return to his hometown today.
"What?" Li Weiguang wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. Recently, he found that Li was a little unsettled, and he also said that he wanted to go back to the countryside, but he thought she was just telling jokes, but this ...... How do you say that if you want to go back to the country, you have to go back to the country?
In the past six years, whether it is in his shop or in his home, she has been very friendly, silently assisting his wife in taking care of his home and managing his business.
He admired her management skills and skills. Although Li was born in the countryside, she was gifted and intelligent, not only proficient in the whole process of weaving and embroidery, but also reforming backward technology...... The production process in the store is in an orderly manner, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous, and several branches have been opened, and the products are exported to Singapore, Malaysia and other countries, as well as the water wharf in the area of Nanfanshun, Guangzhou......
Li has been doing this for six years, and these six years have turned her from a steady and mature middle-aged woman to an old woman who is more than half a hundred years old.
……
And Li Weiguang and Ding also treated Xiao Huineng to go to school and read like their own sons......
Li Weiguang's wife thought that Li was over half a hundred years old, and he had to return to his hometown to face the world, endure hardships, and couldn't help but feel sad, choked up and said, "Li ...... Sister, do you have to go back? ”
"Hmm." Lee nodded.
"Sister Li, then let Ah Mei prepare a little thin wine and cook for your mother and son......"
Li Weiguang specially took out a bottle of glutinous rice liqueur that had been treasured for many years and a small wine glass.
"How does this small wine glass seem to be the same as the one she used to pawn from home to the pawnshop and exchange for money to treat her husband's illness?" Li muttered in his heart.
Li Weiguang saw that Li was looking at the small wine glass in a daze, so he smiled and said: "This small wine glass was brought back by me from doing business in the capital before, and it has been more than 20 years. ”
Li nodded silently and scooped his head, "Let's pick up the chopsticks, the dishes are cold." Li Shi looked at the small wine glass while picking up the vegetables, "It's so exquisite!" ”
……
After lunch, Li went back to the bedroom to take out the packed clothes out of the hall, and Li Weiguang took advantage of Li's inattention to secretly hide the bag of silver and wine glasses that had been prepared under the bottom layer of Li's suitcase......
Li Weiguang and his wife have been sending the Li mother and son to the Suzhou and Hangzhou wharf, and sent the Li mother and son on the boat before waving goodbye.
In this way, after thousands of years of twists and turns, Fengxi finally boarded the passenger ship back to New South Wales with the Li family.
The passenger boat traveled to the river around Xinjiang, and the canopy boats and sailboats kept coming and going, and suddenly, the wind was strong and the waves were rolling, and Li hurriedly hugged Huineng tightly...... Suddenly, Li Shi noticed that something seemed to be moving in the duffel bag, and quickly opened it to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, the little wine glass!" ”
With Li's exclamation, the small wine glass actually broke away from her hand and fell into the river.
Tilting, the river is calm and calm......
When the boat arrived at Xinjiang Wharf, Huineng's mother and son got off the boat with their luggage and walked in the direction of Xialu Village in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Finally home. The next morning, Li got up and opened his luggage and found a bag of silver ingots, as many as 10 ingots. immediately understood Li Weiguang's well-intentioned gratitude.
……
After Li used the silver to build a new house, the 10 ingots of silver were basically used up.
Six years ago, before leaving for Guangzhou, Li sold the acre of land, had no land to cultivate, and when he was old, he had to weave cloth at home and do some needlework to support his family.
Fortunately, Huineng gradually grew up, went up the mountain to fetch firewood and sold it to buy some rice oil and came back to share her worries for her mother.
……
August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a few happy and a few sad.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huineng got up early in the morning and still went up the mountain to collect firewood.
Huineng hummed the folk song "August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a few families are happy and a few families are sad" that Li taught him to sing when he was a child.
In the morning of this day, Huineng had already cut two bundles of dry firewood, and successfully picked them all the way to the Yuncheng firewood market to sell.
After Huineng sold the firewood, he covered his eyes with his hands, looked up at the sky slightly, and said in his heart: Wow! Good fellow, it's not yet noon! In the past, it was not down the mountain......
Seeing that it was still early, Huineng carried a straw gun and strolled around the market.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xinzhou County was high and crisp in autumn, and the market was very lively. Huineng came to Kaitai Street with the flow of people, and it was even more lively here, and people surrounded most of the street, "Neighbors, new and old customers, there are flat, beautiful, and freshly baked Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes in Xinjiang!" "It's so beautiful, rich and famous, Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes! There is a buy to take advantage of, the hand is fast, and the hand is slow! ”
For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the major cake shops and stalls in Juncheng, Xinzhou, the sales of moon cakes are booming, and they are full of dazzling. There are both local and Guangzhou ones.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, eating Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes is indispensable, even if you don't have the money to buy, borrow money to buy back a tube ("Chelu" style price is the flatst) mooncakes to go home to celebrate the moon, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival. No moon cakes, no Mid-Autumn Festival.
Huineng thought: Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, today I should buy a box of moon cakes to go home, and tomorrow night I will make an appointment with Xiaolan to come over, while congratulating the moon, while tasting and eating moon cakes with A-Niang and Xiaolan, when the time comes, A-Niang should be so happy, how warm and romantic!
Huineng thought of this, and a happy and sweet smile appeared on his face. Walking to the front of the store that said "The moon is the hometown of Ming, and the cake is Xinjiang Liang", Boss Lu happened to walk out of the counter, and when he saw Huineng coming with a spring breeze, he stepped forward to greet him: "Yo, Huineng, see that you are proud of the spring breeze today, and your spirit is refreshing, there must be something good coming." Come and get a box of mooncakes and go home to celebrate the moon, and honor your aunt. ”
When Lu Xingjin was demoted to Xinzhou, he met Lu Xingyan from Liu Tingshi in Xinzhou, and the two hit it off at first sight and became friends. Every time Boss Lu opens a new store or a new house moves in, Lu Xingyan personally writes a joint congratulatory message. At that time, the people of Xinzhou County regarded it as a blessing to be able to get Lu Dacai's Mobao.
Hui Neng walked to the counter and said, "Uncle Lu, you have to make moon cakes at a cost, how can I be embarrassed to take them for nothing." ”
Boss Lu stepped forward and patted Huineng's shoulder, smiled and said, "Nephew Anengxian, Uncle Lu sent a box of mooncakes to you to bring back, it was out of Uncle Lu's friendship with your father, and it was also a little bit of Uncle Lu's heart, it's not a matter of cost, understand?" ”
"Oh......" Huineng stood there as if he was not in a clear position.
Boss Lu instructed the second elementary school in the store to fill a box of moon cakes in a gift bag and hand it to Huineng, saying: "Ah Neng Xian, Uncle Lu is going out to run errands, so he won't leave you to eat, you should go home early, so as not to worry about your mother." After Boss Lu finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the store.
Huineng had no choice but to leave the Xinjiang cake shop with the bag of mooncakes in his left hand and a straw gun in his right hand.
As soon as Huineng walked out of Kaitai Street, he saw an unkempt and crawling old beggar, begging for food from passers-by with his hands outstretched.
When the people saw that he was filthy, they flashed straight on both sides.
When Huineng saw it, he couldn't bear it, so he took out a moon cake from the moon cake bag and handed it to the old beggar.
This Huineng is also too kind, this bag of moon cakes was asked by Boss Lu to take it back to He Yue to honor his mother, and he himself was hungry and didn't want to eat it. And he did not hesitate to give this box of moon cakes to the old beggar.
The old beggar took the moon cake and devoured it.
Just as the old beggar was eating mooncakes and enjoying the deliciousness, suddenly there was a great chaos on the street, and people flashed to both sides as if they were hiding from the plague.
The crowd swaggered past two people, one on the left was a fat man, I saw that his head was chubby, and he was generally thick with two heads, the sow's eyes and eyebrows were bald, the pug's nose was facing the sky, the toad's mouth was bulging like a night pot, his belly was four fingers thick, the fat meat on his neck was purring, and he stood like a black bear, lying there and racing a pig.
