Chapter 577 577. Qi Lin’s grandfather
Tugou Village, Yicheng Township.
The van from the canteen at the head of the village drove back. First of all, he shouted: "Lao Qi! Lao Qi! Your grandchildren have sent express delivery back!"
The mountainous area is full of loess. It was an empty place, and even though the two families were far apart, half of the village could still hear this voice.
The neighbor couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Qi, this grandson, picked it up well. He kowtows to his son's grave, and will be able to wear sackcloth and show mourning for him in the future, so he won't have no heirs."
"That's right. Linzi is filial and thoughtful." The old lady at home also said the same.
The man next to him snorted: "What's the point of being filial? Instead of going to college and going all the way away, it's better to leave school at the beginning and stay at home and farm the land honestly. Now I'm my great grandson. I can hug him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the wife next to him: "No matter how far Linzi goes, I will pay Lao Qi a thousand yuan every month, and I will pay him back every time he goes to a new place. They all send special products..."
"You are farming at home, and I don't want you to send fruits, snacks, lotus root powder or anything like that. Why don't you give me a thousand yuan every month!"
The man immediately fell silent!
One thousand a month, darling, no... no... no more than twelve thousand a year!
He frowned: "Is ten thousand and twenty thousand more than a year? Work in a factory and you can earn it in two months!"
"Then go and earn it! You are lazy and greedy ...Look at how many people like you are there in the village..."
...
Lao Qi didn't know anything about the noise at other people's houses. He just rushed to the canteen and used I wiped my neck with the towel, my face was covered with sweat, and then I smiled and said:
"What's the point of sending this?"
The boss laughed: "How did I know this! It's sent by Fengfeng Express. The express delivery point here is too far, so I asked the postal service to pick it up."
"Tell your child that you should send it to the postal service next time. We are in a remote place and only the postal service car can deliver the package to me."
Old Qi also thinks so, but the child used to I sent fruit, but it was still a waste of money. Then transfer to the postal service——
The people who drive the postal truck here are from the countryside, and they often help carry other things to the town. If you go to the canteen here the next day and buy some tofu, you can bring it back. It's quite convenient.
Lao Qi was still nagging: "My boy, he spends money lavishly. I have no shortage of food and drink at home. He keeps sending these messy things and all the money is gone." If you save money to buy a house in the city, where can you find a wife? "
"Ouch!" The owner of the canteen laughed at him: "You didn't say that you couldn't support your family, so you had to let him stay with you. If the college student who was teaching hadn’t come to scold you, why wouldn’t you have done it?”
Lao Qi was not ashamed at all: “He didn’t talk much at all, and his mouth was so dull. Do you know if you can make a living now? You have to take out a loan to go to college, and the debt you owe to the country was paid off only the year before last... Would you rather do it for me? "
"Besides, what's the use of studying with me? Farming, what can we grow here? Why not work in the city and find a wife..."
As he spoke, he opened the package - people in the mountains don't care about privacy, so what the children sent was just food. Lao Qi complained, but he was not unhappy in his heart.
It is inevitable to want to show off.
Isn't this——
"You said that the straw mats you sent last time... Oh, it costs so much! I went to the store last time and saw that the prices of other people's straw mats have increased. Now It’s thirty, but it’s not as good as the old bamboo mat I have at home!”
The old bamboo mat is several years old, that is, the bamboo strips on the sides are raised, so you can sleep in the middle.
The man at the canteen couldn't see him like this. He laughed and scolded him: "I think that straw mat is much better than the one in the market. I'm afraid it will cost fifty or sixty yuan, so don't give it to me!"
"That's not a good idea. !”
Lao Qi sighed: “Don’t tell me, the agriculture that Linzi learned at the beginning seems to be promising, and his vision has improved! The things sent here taste good, and this straw mat is different from yesterday. I lay down at night without the fan blowing, and it was cool all night long, and I didn’t even sweat!”
How rare!
And they don’t grow bamboo very much here, let alone lush wild grass. He smelled the fragrance of green grass all night last night, and when he woke up early, he felt like he was sleeping on sweet potato vines. All nonsense!
The canteen owner thought to himself:
It’s either sunny or windy here every day. How can it still not be hot even when it’s over 30 degrees?
It’s getting more and more pointless to show off your grandson.
"That's so nice. I'll go to your house and lie down later - what did you send this time?"
As soon as Lao Qi opened the package, the unique aroma of fish and shrimp hit his face!
“Ouch! Ouch!”
Fish and shrimp are also rare here! Lao Qi's surprise this time was much bigger than the straw mat he recovered last time!
“It smells so good!”
The owner of the canteen took a couple of strong sniffs.
Lao Qi was delighted, and stretched out his hand to grab a handful of dried fish: "Come on, come on, bring me a bag, and I'll catch some for you."
After thinking about it, he also caught a handful of shrimps. But it’s much less than dried fish.
Every time the express was delivered, someone would help with it. This time, Lao Qi didn’t bother to search, he just took the bag and went home.
Halfway through the walk, I couldn’t help but touch a piece of dried fish and eat it directly——
Oh my god!
This dried fish is so delicious!
......
The owner of the canteen was also saying: "Why is this fish so delicious!"
At the same time, he went to the shelf to look for it: "Where is the sauerkraut that I brought in? I I remember..."
They don't grow well here as pickled sauerkraut, so the boss always buys a big can of it, weighing one and a half kilograms for whoever buys it... At this moment, after a long time, I finally got it. Turning over the plastic jar, he yelled: "Lanhua, let's stew pickled fish for lunch!"
While happily going into the house: "Linzi just sent it back, and Lao Qi grabbed a handful - it's very delicious!"
The farmers work with rough, but thick hands!
That handful does not contain any skills, but it is quite a lot.
My daughter-in-law was also very surprised: "Fish! Linzi is a good student in college. He lives all over the world and eats all the delicious things."
Look again I couldn't help but pick up one of the shrimps. The shell was so crispy and the shrimp meat was so fresh...
Ouch! Ouch!
She instantly felt distressed and took away all the fish and shrimps in the bag:
"We will eat it when our child comes back on Friday night!"
Boss:...
It’s only Monday!
He discussed with his wife: "Look at what you're doing. It's inconvenient for us to buy fish and shrimps, but it's not that we can't afford them. In this way, you can cook them for lunch. I'll ask Linzi later. Where did he buy it? Give us a few more pounds!”
In fact, I still feel bad. After all, I am still in this village, and even if I have money, my money is very limited, and the fish and shrimp they sell here are also expensive.
But...it’s so delicious, it’s okay to eat more!
My daughter-in-law is still holding half of the crispy fish tail in her hand. She is struggling for a long time: "Okay, then I have done it?"
"Do it, do it!"
The boss waved his hand: "I'll call later and buy a few more pounds!"
It's getting later every day... but we still keep the bottom line during the day!
Try to be early tomorrow!
