Seeing Guan Shaoli leave with the bag and come back with the bag, his colleague used his good eyesight to ensure that not only did his bag not deflate, it also swelled up a bit.
What's happening here
Guan Xiaoli asked him: "Has the car been repaired?" When he left just now, the car was almost repaired, and logically it should be repaired.
"Okay, you can go anytime."
Those of them who run sports cars outside and have repair places far away on the road all have first-hand car repair skills. If the problem is not serious, they can solve it by themselves.
Guan Shaoli got into the passenger seat: "Let's drive, talk while walking."
The car broke down, and it has been delayed for a long time.
"... So they don't want your gifts, they took the special products they made, and want to exchange your special products with you?"
Guan Shaoli nodded, with a smile on his face: "It's not that I didn't take all of them, and left some food, or I took advantage of it."
The seafood from them is not very valuable, so how could he accept their meat sauce like this? Originally, he came here with the intention of subsidizing it, but in the end it was still subsidized. What's the matter
His focus was skewed: "Is that sauce really so delicious?"
"You will know next time you try it. We are running outside. It is inconvenient to cook and eat by ourselves. If we want to buy food, we may not be able to find it. With this, it will save a lot of trouble."
He drove the car without speaking, and then he said after a while: "This is also very good. It is more important than anything else to be able to support yourself and stand up on your own." The members of their transport team are all transferred from the army. They are different troops, but they all have their own stories. There are also comrades-in-arms who fought with me and depended on each other for life and death. They have been loyal to the country to the last second of their lives. They have experienced a lot.
Guan Shaoli looked at the dark night outside, and while helping to watch the road, he hummed softly.
Yes, although the things he wanted to give were not delivered, he was very happy, very happy.
He was so happy that he wished he could go home immediately, ask his mother to help, collect the best seafood, and send them over.

Early the next morning, Zhang Baoguo had breakfast and went to school. When he sat down in the classroom, Zhang Jinhua came over and asked him curiously, "What did that person give you yesterday?"
Zhang Baoguo shook his head: "Nothing."
"impossible!"
Zhang Jinhua didn't believe it, he drank a bowl of sugar water yesterday, it was so sweet, it seemed to be so sweet to the bottom of people's heart, the first thing he went to was Zhang Baoguo's house, how could there be nothing? His mother asked him to ask before he went out this morning. In fact, his mother wanted to ask even if he didn't tell him.
Zhang Baoguo frowned: "No." The things he left behind were exchanged for the sauce made by his mother, and later he brought the brown sugar biscuits to the old house alone as a gift.
Zhang Jinhua pouted: "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. He is a master driver. He is paid very well. How could he not give you things?" Listening to his mother, he said that he was an iron rice bowl, with a monthly salary and subsidies. It must have been something rare, something he had probably never heard of before.
Zhang Baoguo became unhappy: "I said I didn't give us anything, so forget it if you don't believe me, I want to read a book."
He met many people on the way to school, and everyone asked him a few words about what Uncle Tanuki had brought. He didn't like them, but he couldn't tell the reason for his displeasure. Their tone was like, like they were peeping at something.
Zhang Jinhua came to ask again, which ignited his emotions. He pulled his face and ignored him.
Zhang Jinhua was also angry: "What's so great, if you don't want to say it, don't want to say it, who cares!"
The cousins got into an awkward situation.
As soon as school was over, Zhang Jinhua rushed home with the things he had packed in advance. Zhang Baoguo sat in the classroom for a while, and someone came up curiously to ask questions. He simply didn't wait for his mother to come to him, and went to find his mother .
His mother is a teacher, and the students naturally have a sense of awe towards the teacher, and the astigmatism suddenly disappears.
Walking on the road, Zhang Baoguo followed Su Hui with a serious expression on his face.
Su Hui noticed it and asked him, "What's the matter? Are you having trouble with someone?"
"Mom, many people ask me about Uncle Tanuki and what he gave us. I don't like it."
Su Hui looked ahead: "We live in a group, it's inevitable, do you remember the last time a couple got into a fight, it was just about their husband and wife, but someone saw it and spread it, and the whole village knew about it Now, when they come out, they will be teased by others, have you seen how they deal with it?"
Zhang Baoguo recalled: "...they were not angry."
"The mouth grows on other people. If you care about everything, what will your life be like? Some people say you are rude today, tomorrow you are prodigal, and the day after tomorrow you are incompetent. If you care about everything, do you care? As long as it is not malicious slander, Why take it to heart."
Su Hui: "I live my life, I know how warm and cold I am."
"So when someone asks you something, if you don't want to talk about it, just say something to deal with it, but Baoguo, you don't like such a person, so be careful, don't let yourself become the kind of person you hate. "
Zhang Baoguo seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.
When approaching the house, Su Hui asked again: "Do you really want to join the army?"
"Yes!" He said the word firmly, and now he still has his father's military medal under his pillow, and he has to touch it every day before going to sleep.
Su Hui nodded lightly, expressing that she understood: "It will take a lot of hardship, are you mentally prepared?"
"have!"
Facing his firmness, Su Hui brought gifts and went to Zhang Chengye's house.
"Captain, this kid wants to enroll in the army in the future. There are requirements for joining the army, and he needs to pass the physical fitness test. Do you think this kid can pass the training now?"
Zhang Baoguo promised: "I will definitely work hard!"
Zhang Chengye knocked on the table and looked at Zhang Baoguo's face that looked like Zhang Ping. In a daze, he seemed to see the boy back then, and he stood firmly in front of him: "I understand, starting tomorrow, come at half past five." Here I am, I wake up and practice boxing every day."
Zhang Chengye agreed, and Zhang Baoguo seemed to be walking happily, and then he noticed a problem: "Mom, we don't seem to have a watch at home?"
Just by looking at the sky, he couldn't tell what it was like at half past five.
"Don't worry, I have it at home." The watch can be taken out, and the radio must be taken out at a good time.
So, Zhang Baoguo got up earlier every day, went to Zhang Chengye's place to fight and stand up with Zhang Chengye, and Su Hui added tasks to him from time to time, asking him to run around.
With such intensity, Zhang Chengye was a little worried when he saw it at first. Baoguo is still a child, if he can't keep up with the food, it will be a bad thing.
But after observing for a period of time, he silently increased the amount of training.
His behavior is naturally seen by the people in the village. After knowing what they are doing, there are others who are tempted and come to ask Zhang Chengye, Zhang Chengye accepts everything, but he will not lower the request because of anyone's words. As a result, few people could persevere. The shortest one lasted only three days. In addition, it was not certain that they would be able to enter the army. Where life is in danger, Zhang Baoguo is the only one left in the end.
Occasionally, Zhang Weiguo would also go, but he was too young, so he just ran along and played around.
Zhang Baoguo's perseverance made Zhang Chengye look a little more appreciative and more attentive.

Su Hui received Guan Shaoli's package. This package was sent by him from a place that was relatively close to their place during his trip. Otherwise, his hometown and Su Hui's place would be separated by half a country of China. Depending on the current logistics speed, the time it would take too long.
This package even surprised Su Hui, because it was really too big.
When you open it, you can see that they are wrapped in dry leaves and sorted.
Su Hui took them out one by one.
The most important ones are kelp and sea vegetables. In addition, there are dried squid, dried cuttlefish, scallops, sea cucumbers, unknown dried small sea fish, dried shrimps, etc. In case she doesn’t know what these are, Guan Shaoli also thoughtfully included a The note, explaining their names and what kind of dishes they are suitable for, can be said to be very considerate.
Su Hui was very happy to receive it. At the end of the letter, Guan Shaoli said that his colleague also liked the sauce she gave him, and wanted to exchange these special products with her. He also marked the type on the letter, so he was worried that Su Hui would mess with it. If there is too much meat sauce, Su Hui will be at a disadvantage.
After receiving these, Su Hui couldn't wait to try it out. Let's make a pot of seafood porridge tonight. There should be sauce in return. In addition... Su Hui thought for a while, and gave some seafood to Zhang Baoguo to send to Zhang Gen At the same time, they asked him to tell them that this was exchanged with their special products, and asked them to take some dried vegetables and sweet potatoes that were dried at home and send them to them together.
Although their province is close to the sea, their location is not close to the sea. The only seafood they have eaten is salted fish and kelp.
The dried shrimps and scallops that Su Huirang sent were rare items, and it would be a great deal to exchange them with his special products. Zhang Jinhua simply wrote a letter and put it inside.
For seafood porridge, the focus is on the word fresh.
The white rice has distinct grains, is crystal clear, and the rice is fragrant. Roll it with a spoon to remove the shrimp, scallops, and dried squid inside.
Zhang Anguo took small sips. He had a habit of saving delicious food for later. After he took a bite of the ingredients, he put the shrimps aside and concentrated on drinking the porridge first.
Zhang Dingguo is the opposite of his twin brother.
He likes to finish the delicious food first, and then eat the less delicious ones.
He was fast, and after finishing eating by himself, he stared at the pile of dried shrimps and scallops in Zhang Anguo's bowl.
Zhang Anguo noticed, and moved the bowl towards him like a little hamster protecting food, his cheeks puffed up, and he accelerated the speed of eating.
At the same time, occasionally his private collection of candies and biscuits would disappear strangely, and he suspected that someone had stolen them. Thinking of his candies, Zhang Anguo stuffed shrimp and scallops into his mouth, and narrowed his big eyes in enjoyment.
I decided to hide the candies in another place when I go back.
Zhang Baoguo drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, belched contentedly, noticed the expression on his fourth brother, and asked him, "Aren't you full yet? There's still in the pot."
Zhang Dingguo patted his belly: "I'm full, but I still want to eat shrimp."
Su Hui put down the bowl: "Are you all full?"
After getting a definite answer, he poured the rest into his own bowl: "I want to eat shrimp, I'll make it tomorrow, you guys don't sleep for a while, walk around in the yard for a while."
Zhang Weiguo licked his lips, he had just eaten, and he was already looking forward to tomorrow.
After dinner, it was time to clean up the dishes. Zhang Baoguo stared at Zhang Weiguo. The two of them took turns doing the washing. It was his turn today.
Zhang Weiguo didn't want to move: "Brother, help me wash it."
Zhang Baoguo: "No."
Zhang Weiguo looked at the two younger brothers, they were actually not much different in age.
Zhang Dingguo jumped up: "My third brother and I started a fire, and we burned the bath water! Aren't you afraid that we will break the bowl?"
Zhang Weiguo had no choice but to obediently go to the well behind to fetch water and wash the dishes.
Mom doesn't need to think about it. Mom cooks hard and doesn't even have a replacement. They can take a rest anyway.
...
Su Hui packed up some seafood and gave them to her natal family, Zhao Xialan and Zhang Chengye. They also took out some local food and asked her to send them to Guan Shaoli together.
Su Qianming and Tian Siyi didn't feel strange when they saw these things, and they didn't feel unfamiliar. Compared with Zhao Xialan who asked exactly what they were and how to cook them, there was a big difference. Su Hui was thoughtful.
Both their husband and wife are from other places, and perhaps there have been stories in the past.
It's just that she hasn't mentioned a single word for so many years, and Su Hui has no intention of exploring.
With the arrival of summer, Su Hui's mustard space has almost taken on a new look.
Except for the white bone lotus in the middle and other aged spiritual plants protected by the formation, she planned to plant things in the rest of the vacant places.
That piece is a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, ranging from the very common Zheergen to ginseng seedlings, annuals to perennials.
Next door is a field of rice seedlings at the earing stage, next door is full of corn cobs, and after that is a field of peanuts. In addition to these foods, there is also a small piece of cotton.
After that, there was a lush vegetable garden, and Su Hui harvested part of it, leaving bare land.
In the last area, various saplings are planted, including plums, peaches, mangoes, apples and other fruit trees, which grow together in different formations. Besides the fruit trees, there are good saplings that Su Hui met on the mountain.
This is not bad, not to say that it is a spiritual tree, but compared to others, if it grows in this place rich in spiritual energy for a long time, it will have a greater chance of becoming a spiritual plant.
Those who grow all kinds of food now will have no shortage of food in the future, and sooner or later they will be occupied by various species that have the opportunity to become spiritual plants.
Su Hui adjusted the formation flag, a piece of peanuts just floated up in the air, then the soil fell first, adjusted the height, one size fits all, the peanuts fell to the ground, and were "sucked" into the middle again, Su Hui went in and packed the peanuts After entering the bag, the peanut noodles that were still in mid-air fell to the ground.
Leave it alone like this, after a period of time, it will be absorbed by this space.
As for these peanuts, Su Hui got a slightly reddish area. The heat here is higher than other places. It was supposed to be planted with fire-attribute spiritual plants, but now it has become her drying area.
Put it here, and after a few days, these tender peanuts will become dry peanuts. Harvesting peanuts is as simple as that.
Unlike her easy drying in the mustard space, in reality, it has been raining for more than half a month.
Summer is the time of year when it rains the most.
Because it often rains, every household has raincoats, some are made of oilcloth, some are made of transparent film inside the fertilizer bag, and some are made of straw or zong leaves.
Su Hui's family didn't have a raincoat before, and they didn't have one when they separated, so naturally they didn't have one. They did have an umbrella, which was made of oiled paper.
There is no one in their family who wants to work in the fields. It rains occasionally in winter, as long as there is an umbrella to support the class, it is fine. If the rain is not light, the umbrella is not needed.
It rains a lot now, Zhang Weiguo still often runs out, the rain can't stop him from running outside, he doesn't have an umbrella, but there are a lot of banana leaves and taro leaves, almost all the children are laughing and laughing outside with a big leaf on them.
Su Hui paid attention to their bodies, and told them to change their clothes early when they got wet, and ignored them if they didn't catch a cold or get sick.
But Zhao Xialan agreed to make one together after knowing that her family didn't have a raincoat.
The two pieces in her house are a bit old, and it's time to make new ones.
Su Hui thought that she said she wanted to do it by herself, so she went to get a few bags of fertilizer and came back.
Fertilizers are hard to buy, and few people in the village have fertilizer bags, which are also rare items, but in the town, you can still buy them with money.
After untiing and cutting it, it was just a raincoat. Su Hui made five pieces in one go, enough for one person.
Zhao Xialan was not willing to spend that money.
Although the money is not a lot, she would rather use the money to buy a few candies for the children. Making a raincoat is just a waste of effort. Anyway, when it rains heavily, she can't do other things, so she is idle when she is idle.
It took her half a month to weave some, but instead of making a raincoat, it became a roof.
It has been raining recently and the roof is leaking.
Her house is the most common type of house in the village—the foundation is made of stone, the walls are built of yellow mud bricks, and the roof is made of straw and planks.
The tiles are just a little bit in the main part.
Zhao Xialan complained: "It must have been leaking because I didn't check it carefully at the beginning of spring. It hasn't rained heavily this year." It has been raining intermittently, and if there is a small leak now, it will be a big leak when it rains heavily.
That usual posture made Su Hui silent.
Zhao Xialan continued knitting while chatting with Su Hui: "But looking at the weather, it's going to rain heavily. I don't know if I can hold it up. Last year, there was a strong wind. The roof of my house was almost blown off. This year it should No, it has been re-fortified, and it took five eggs to hire someone."
Su Hui didn't know how to start a conversation.
She was doing needlework slowly, eating to keep up. The child is growing up, but now it is enlarged, and it is probably suitable for wearing in autumn.
What she is now making is slightly flawed cloth. This kind of cloth is hard to come by. When Zhao Xialan first saw it, she was envious for a while.
Don't distribute tickets, the price is much cheaper, so what's the flaw.
Su Hui listened silently. This cloth was bought when she sold wild pork. In the supply and marketing cooperative, she had never seen cheap defective products, and the salesperson had already digested them internally.
Zhang Anguo was at the side helping Zhao Xialan, handing things and such: "Aunt Lan, is your house still leaking?"
"Leakage, but there are only two places, not many, just use a basin to catch it."
Zhang Anguo: "Where is the leak? Is it on the bed?"
Zhao Xialan sighed: "Well, how can I sleep on the bed."
Su Hui coughed lightly: "Isn't it mended?"
"I made it up, there is still a little bit, there is no way, I have to hurry up and make up a little more, and then I will ask someone to fix it." Even if she is used to it, Zhao Xialan is a little helpless.
She glanced at the roof here, and said in an envious tone, "Your place is better, you don't have to worry about the wind and rain." In her place, when it rains, she dare not sleep to death, and the leak is still there in other places. Well, it would be bad if the grain got wet right where it was stored.
Su Hui followed her gaze and looked at the roof, thoughtful, there are not many tiles in the village, and the tiles are not easy to buy. When building this new house, it was Sun Qiang who bought the tiles in time when he lost his favor. Are the tiles hard to burn
Zhao Xialan is used to the rainy season every summer, and is also used to the inevitable water leaks every year, but the educated youths who come from other places are not used to it, especially the educated youths who came last year and have not experienced it. The falling raindrops are almost about to collapse.
Xie Rui and Lin Jingnan were the ones who were going to collapse, they were sleeping soundly, when suddenly something fell on their faces, it was cold, was it water? Um? How can there be water? !
Xie Rui woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, just in time for a drop of water to fall on his eyes.
"what?"
He quickly moved away, and saw the splash of water by the twilight of the sun that had just risen by the window.
On the roof, water dripped intermittently.
Xie Rui wiped the water stains on his face, the house is leaking!
Xie Rui woke up Lin Jingnan, and there was also a leak on his side, but the direction of the leak was at his feet. The quilt in summer was very thin, and Lin Jingnan didn't cover it and piled it there, and now his quilt was mostly wet.
The sun had just risen, and with this light, the two of them moved everything on the bed aside, and only after getting out of bed did they realize that there were three leaks in their house!
Taking buckets and basins to catch the water, the two young men who had never experienced such a thing looked at each other for a while, Lin Jingnan smiled dryly: "It's raining a bit outside, no wonder there's a leak."
Xie Rui: "..." He didn't want to speak.
The two of them sat dryly for a while, and the others woke up one after another, and there was movement. It seemed that it was almost done, and the two of them went to find Chen Donghua.
Chen Donghua is an old educated youth of the educated youth spot, and also the big brother of the educated youth spot. When negotiating with the village about something, he acts as a representative of the educated youth spot.
Chen Donghua took a look and said: "Water leakage is normal. It started to leak after it rained for so many days. It seems that the repair was not bad last year. It leaked every year before. It took a lot of effort last year to repair the roof. It has been repaired all over again, so that it can last until now before it leaks.”
Before they were raining outside, it was also raining inside, simultaneously.
After hearing Chen Donghua's words, Xie Rui couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and rubbed it. Is this normal? !
Want to say dirty words :)
