Chapter 63: A Suitable Gift (Asking for Acceptance)
As the train slowly stopped at Shuangdian Station, Mushanhe, who had been sitting for several hours, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Unlike the previous time he took the car to the provincial capital, this time he was undoubtedly much more comfortable, and even took a nap halfway through.
Sitting for hours can still be physically and mentally exhausting. Behind the other outbound passengers, Mushanhe was not conspicuous at all, and returned to his hometown smoothly and safely, and his tense heart was also much relaxed.
was thinking about Mu Shanhe, and when he went to live there tonight, he suddenly heard a voice say: "Xiao Shanzi! ”
The sudden call made Mu Shanhe turn his head to look at it instantly, and when he saw the person who called him by his nickname, he stepped forward with some surprise and joy: "Uncle Da, why are you here?" Uncle Erwang called you? ”
"What do you say? is not very old, and he dares to go to the provincial capital alone, and he is not small. Go, come home with me later. ”
"Ahh
"Ah what? What's wrong? When you get to the city, will it be difficult for you to stay in a guest house? ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
"That's right!"
Mu Shanhe, who was hugged by the shoulder, really didn't have any temper in the face of this hearty and atmospheric Uncle Mu. In his opinion, among the three brothers of the Mu family, the one who makes him feel the happiest is undoubtedly the third uncle Mu Youda in front of him.
On the other hand, Mu Youcheng, who is the boss, feels that the other party is a little more utilitarian, and Mu Youwang is very polite to him because of his profession. But more often than not, the expression will appear more serious when speaking.
Waiting to get into the truck driven by Mu Youda, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said: "This is the company's car, you can drive it casually?" ”
"That's nature! Anyway, when the club is fine, those of us who are drivers can drive the truck home. But if the car drives away, if something goes wrong, you must also bear the corresponding responsibility, and it is okay to drive out occasionally. ”
Listening to what Mu Youda said, Mu Shanhe also knew that the other party deliberately drove to pick up the station, and he was also worried that he would be frozen. Today's railway stations are still very different from later generations, and cars are also very rare objects.
When the weather is good, there will be some banye pulling carts at the exit of the station. But now in this weather, although there are also people who pull the plow. But many travelers, unless they carry too many things, mostly choose to walk.
As for the buses, it's a matter of luck, and there are only a few buses to and from the train station every day. More time, to get to and from the train station and the city, you either walk on two legs or ask someone to bring you by bicycle.
All in all, the train station in the 80s looked so ordinary but it was also very lively!
Although some travelers asked if they could take a ride, of course, they were willing to give money, but Mu Youda finally declined. It can also be seen from this that the third uncle in front of him also knows what money can be made and what money cannot be earned.
Arrive at Mu Youda's home in the city, a brick house that is very common in the city. Although the area is not as good as that in the countryside, it is relatively rare to have such a room in the city. And this house was also bought by Mu Youda just two years ago.
Seeing Mushanhe entering the door, Mu Youda's wife also said enthusiastically: "Shanzi, here!" ”
"Auntie, excuse me."
"What are you doing with your aunt so politely, this kid. I heard Dazi say, did you go to the provincial capital? ”
"Well, there is something to do, I need to go to the provincial capital, so I went to the provincial capital for a few days."
"Is it okay all the way?"
"Very good! Things went well, and I thought that the New Year was coming soon, so I hurried back. ”
After chatting with Mu Youda's wife for a few words, seeing the two staring at their children, Mu Shanhe also stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xiaohui, Xiaoqi, do you remember who I am?" ”
"Are you your grandfather's brother Shanzi?"
Compared with Mu Yunqi, who is only four years old, Mu Meihui, who is already seven years old as an older sister, still has an impression of Mushanhe because she returned to her hometown during the Spring Festival last year. On the other hand, Mu Yunqi, the youngest, was a little shy and hid behind his sister.
Mu Shanhe, who took off his backpack, pretended to touch something from inside, and quickly took out a colorful stationery box and said: "Xiaohui, you are in the first grade this year, my brother gave you a stationery box, study hard in the future, okay?" ”
Seeing such a beautiful stationery box, the little girl couldn't take her eyes off for a moment, but she still couldn't help but look at her parents. And Mu Youda smiled and said, "Shanzi, why did you still buy this?" ”
"I can't go to your house every year to pay New Year's greetings and buy candy for Xiaohui and them, right? For stationery boxes, I bought a few too! ”
"Xiaohui, thank you, brother!"
"Thank you, brother!"
When the little girl opened the stationery box and saw that it was still full of pencils, she was even more happy and said, "Wow, there are so many pencils." ”
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, thank you, Brother Shanzi!"
Mu Yunqi, who was originally hiding behind his sister, looked at Mu Shanhe with some eyes, as if he wanted to say, 'My gift'?
Fortunately, Mu Shanhe also smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, who am I?" ”
"Mountain, brother!"
"That's good, my brother will give you a toy too!"
Reaching out from the backpack again, he took out a toy in the shape of a frog, and in the happy expression on the little one's face, Mu Shanhe twisted the clockwork on the toy. Then he placed it on the ground, and soon the frog toy began to jump.
"Wow, Daddy, is this a little frog?"
"Hmmm! Shanzi, are you even ready for this? ”
"It's rare to go to the provincial capital, and you always have to bring something back! Xiaoqi, do you like this little frog? ”
"I like it, thank you, brother!"
If the little guy is taught to play with this clockwork frog toy, looking at the attention of the sisters and brothers, they are attracted by the frogs jumping underground, and Mu Youda and his wife also feel that Mu Shanhe is really hearted and did not forget to bring gifts to the children.
Seeing that the sister and brother were having fun, Mu Shanhe took out two more things from his backpack, one of which was handed to Mu Youda's wife Lin Xiaomoth and said: "Auntie, this is the friendship brand alabaster I bought in the provincial supply and marketing cooperative, I heard that it is good for the skin to use this in winter." ”
"Ahh Shanzi, why are you still thinking about buying me a gift? ”
"The rich man treats me as his own grandson, and Uncle Da also treats me as his own nephew. It's rare to go to the provincial capital, and you always have to bring some gifts back. This alabaster is selling very well in the provincial capital, so I bought a few boxes. ”
"Well, thank you!"
glanced at her husband, saw that the other party also smiled and nodded, and Lin Xiaomoth also smiled and accepted the gift. This kind of alabaster can't really be bought by the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city at the moment, and can only be bought in the city and province.
Not to mention that the price is more expensive than ordinary alabaster, if you want to buy it in the county, you can't buy it with money!
What really surprised Mu Youda was a pair of glasses handed to him by Mu Shanhe. Seeing this glasses, Mu Youda was also surprised and said, "Why do you think about buying me this?" This toad mirror should be quite expensive, right? ”
"It's not worth a few bucks! Uncle Da, you often drive, these glasses are not suitable for wearing at night, but if you wear them during the day, they can also prevent sunlight reflection. Especially when driving in winter, the sun shines on the snow, which is sometimes dazzling, right? ”
"Yes! You kid hasn't driven a car, you even know this? ”
"I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? You can keep these glasses! ”
"Cheng, then uncle won't be polite to you."
Through the four gifts, the relationship between Mu Shanhe and Mu Youda's family instantly became much closer. Even if two children who felt strange before, they would have a brother in one mouth, and the one who shouted was kind.
And this night, Mu Shanhe not only ate at Mu Youda's house, but even stayed overnight at his house. It just so happens that the Mu family has two kangs, Mu Youda's family of four sleeps on one kang, and Mu Shanhe lives in the previous little girl Mu Meihui.
In fact, Mu Meihui usually sleeps on this kang, and if there are guests at home to spend the night, they will arrange to sleep in her room. Before the change, Mu Youda's family of four often slept on a kang in winter. After all, the two children are not very old!
