The days passed step by step, and it was the National Day in a blink of an eye.
This time, the school showed compassion and gave a five-day holiday to the third quarter of the junior high school. Suddenly, the students turned into birds and scattered.
When Qianmai returned home, it had been a whole month apart. Don’t meet again, Qian’s sister and brother were very happy. They didn’t watch the TV last night, and stayed in Qianmai’s room, chatting and having fun until late at night.
Qianmai originally wanted to sleep in comfortably, but his body seemed to be wound up, and he woke up habitually at six o'clock. Then, tossing and turning, no longer sleepy. So, simply get up and change clothes to wash.
Father Yang Yong has gone to the mountains. The kitchen light was on, and his mother, Qian Liqin, was cooking breakfast inside. The oil in the pot was sizzling, and there was a slight slicing sound from time to time.
"Mom, what do you eat in the morning?"
Seeing that it was the elder daughter who opened the door and came in, Qian Liqin smiled slightly: "Why don't you sleep longer? It's still early."
"Get used to it. At this time, I will automatically wake up." Qian Mai put on an apron and walked over to help. Glancing at the dining table, he couldn't help but be surprised. The repainted, neat and quaint Baxian table has three hot dishes, including sweet and sour pork ribs, zucchini fried beef, and shredded radish and crucian carp soup. At this moment, Qian Liqin was turning on the pressure cooker, taking the soup ladle to scoop the chicken nuggets into the soup bowl, the clear soup was brought out with the smooth fungus, and it was a strong fragrance.
"So many dishes, can you eat it?" Qianmai asked questioning, but stretched out her hand long ago, took a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs and delivered it to her mouth. The sweet and sour taste is what she likes, her own food. It is more fragrant than the cafeteria.
Seeing her daughter's greedy cat, Qian Liqin smiled distressedly, took a small bowl, filled it with chicken soup, and handed it over. Said: "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot. You see, you haven't been home for a month, and your chin has become sharp. While it's vacation now, your dad and I are thinking about giving you a good supplement. Eat chicken today and give it tomorrow. You stew a turtle."
Qianmai listened, feeling warm in his heart, and took the chicken soup and sipped it in small sips. Knowing that my parents were worried that they would eat and drink badly when they were away from home, they shrugged and pretended to say relaxedly: "Being thin is beautiful. Some students can't lose weight even if they want to be thin. I eat a lot of food at school."
Qian Liqin was frying the cabbage quickly in her hand, while pretending to teach her daughter: "If you learn from Xiaofen like a chicken pecking rice and eating, you ruin your body, be careful that I strip your skin. Now Sun Hongmei and Sun Hongmei Wang Zhigao doesn't have time to come back. Let me see. From now on, let the children from the first and second grades of the first and second grades give you some delicious food every week. When you go back to school in a few days, remember to take away all the eggs in the cupboard.
"No, there are a lot of eggs and duck eggs in the school cafeteria, these are kept at home for eating."
"What good things can there be in the canteen. Can the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks be compared with the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks? Our pigs and sheep are no longer raised, and the fields are rented out to raise these chickens and ducks. , Isn’t it to lay eggs to replenish your body? Mom teaches you, after you go back to school, go to the pot of boiling water every morning, knock an egg in the cup, put some sugar in it, and then you can eat with boiling water. It’s simple and convenient, and it’s good for your body...
Mother's love is so ordinary and trivial. Qianmai didn't hold on anymore. After drinking the soup, he walked over and gently took Qianliqin's empty arm, rubbing his face on it, whispering, "Thank you, mom."
Feeling the closeness of her daughter, Qian Liqin is also very heart-warming. Husband is right, this eldest daughter is really sensible and sensitive. As long as she does a little bit of work for her, she will be satisfied and happy. At the same time, if there is something wrong at home, she will feel nervous all over. If the adults were not careful, a word, a look in their eyes might make her worry and sad for a long time. I had ignored it before. I didn't know what made her feel uneasy, and I didn't even want her to know if I made money to buy a store in Huayang.
"Mom can do very little for you. Now you are away from home to go to school, just because you want to cook a meal for you, you also have to see if time is allowed. You are outside, you have to pay attention to everything, you know?" Qian Liqinrou The voice commanded.
"I know. I eat very hard and exercise very hard." Qianmai agreed softly.
After breakfast, the potential family and He Meimei went downstairs to start business. At this time, the owner of the pharmacy and clothing store rented on the first floor also arrived at the same time. After everyone said hello, they were busy opening.
The Qianjia Supermarket on the second floor is now fully on track. The huge space is divided into several areas such as cereals, oils, daily necessities, tobacco, alcohol and snacks. Rows of new and beautiful shelves are lined up, densely packed with goods. It seems that it is not inferior to the small and medium-sized supermarkets in the city.
The Qian's family sincerely cooperated. The Qian's grandfather and Qian Liqin were stationed at the base camp, while Yang Yong was responsible for all external purchase contact matters. In addition, Qian Xiaomo and Qian Xiaohai would beat each other from time to time, so there was no need to hire a waiter. But Yang Yong, now often needs to go outside, so he hired a small worker to take charge of Gastrodia in the mountains.
Qianmai finished cleaning the dishes, and then stayed in the room to write and draw for a while. When I came out, I had several small posters in my hand. Walking through the living room, I saw Qianjia's grandmother leaning on the rocking chair and watching TV alone with her big belly. So he walked over and asked: "Grandma, I will help you down to chat with Sister Lan, Granny Yang, okay?"
Seeing that it was the granddaughter, a small smile hung from the corner of Qianjia's nipple, and even the eyebrows became vivid: "It doesn't matter. Is the sun outside?"
"It's only a little bit, it's not hot. Isn't it okay to go down and get the wind through?" Qianmai continued to persuade.
"Okay, then." Qianjia's grandma supported her waist and sat upright. As if remembering something, he suddenly ordered: "Wheat, go to grandma's room and bring the American ginseng and ginseng from the three-door cabinet."
Qianmai Yiyan turned it over and asked, "Grandma, how do you want to eat it? Is it to stew chicken, make fish soup, or make candied date tea? I'll make it for you."
Qianjia's grandma shook her head and whispered: "These are for you to eat. Only after eating can you have the strength to read."
Qian Mai hurriedly waved his hand: "No, these are for grandma to supplement the body. I am in a great body, besides, my mother has fed me like a piglet now."
"That's just ordinary food. Grandma is scared to eat these supplements, and keep them on for a long time. They will be useless... You don’t have any good things to eat outside, just drink these teas... My eldest brother... Your uncle, I mentioned to me when our family moved to a banquet. Last year, his seventh grandson was in the third grade of junior high school. He often said that he was tired, and then he cried out for headaches. He took a lot of tonics to get over. What a pity, but still I didn’t pass the exam... I thought at the time that our family’s wheat is going to a key school and is much busier than that kid, so I have to make up for it..."
Qianjia's grandma rarely said so much, she couldn't help but panting slightly.
Qian Mai hurriedly handed the tea with wild vegetables, and there was an unstoppable smile in his eyes: "Grandma, you and your uncle have been cheated. The little cousin is greedy, and wants to change the way to ask for tonics. Now the high school entrance examination is very common, schools are blooming everywhere, with thousands of students, as long as they pass the mark and can afford to pay, they can go to school."
Qianjia's grandmother didn't believe it, she smiled and sipped Qianmai: "Ghost girl, you lied to my old lady to stay in the countryside... You don't know anything. If it is so simple, there are not many people in our township school every year. High school."
Latent wheat is poor, so I have to say in another way: "Grandma, girls can't eat American ginseng and ginseng. It's ugly after eating the president's beard."
"Really? Who said that? You didn't lie to me again, right."
"Really, I have read a lot of medicine books, and they are clearly written." Qianmai nodded as if pounding garlic, Amitabha, forgive my white lies.
Qianjia's grandmother is still dubious: "American ginseng and ginseng really have a lot of beards, but this is too evil... You help me down, I ask others to see that the medicine is three-point poison, and tonics can't be eaten randomly."
Qianmai was busy, and he took Qianjia's grandma and went downstairs cautiously. Unlike other elderly people who have been sick for many years, Qianjia's grandmother always takes care of herself in an orderly manner and walks closer. Instead of smelling medicine, she has a faint soap scent.
He helped Qianjia's grandmother under the banyan tree at the bridge, where several old people chatting were already sitting there. After Qianmai said hello, he turned around and posted a small poster.
After posting the last small poster of "New Products on the Oven" on the notice board outside the township government's wall, Qian Mai stepped back a few steps, examined it carefully, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Mai, come up." Yang Yong's voice suddenly came from behind him. The Double Ninth Festival was approaching, Yang Yong approached the Shangxiang government and received an order for "send warmth". At this moment, he was riding his car back after delivering grain and oil to the widows and the five-guarantee households.
"Dad." Qianmai ran over, jumped on the pedal tricycle, and let Yang Yong carry him home.
The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the air is faintly filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. There are trees of unknown age along the road in Nanjiang Village, with lush branches and leaves, all in various shapes. There are also some small shrubs and weeds where there are no trees, and small unknown flowers are mixed in them, blooming quietly, like stars. With such an ordinary scenery, Qian Mai squinted.
"Mai, our family has already lived a'well-off' life." Yang Yong grinned, his voice full of joy.
"Who said that? It's still early. Dad, wouldn't it be your request?"
"Look there." Yang Yong gave a hand and gestured to Qianmai to look at the red painted slogan on the back wall of the highway: "Put the phone on, and you will be well off." This is September, and the telecommunications department has come to install civilian houses for more than a dozen households in Nanjiang Village. A wall advertisement written by the way on the phone.
Latent Wheat glanced at it inadvertently and choked very unfortunately. He immediately nodded in agreement: "The national standard is so low! Then our family has indeed gone to'well-off'. Then what next?"
"Ben'big rich'." Yang Yong replied casually.
"Can't you run to the'petty bourgeoisie'?" Qianmai couldn't stand such a magnificent goal.
"What is'petty bourgeoisie'?" Yang Yong asked back.
"I can't tell, it's like Nan Weiwei's house. By the way, since our home has a phone installed, then I will call Nan Weiwei and show off." Qianmai decided immediately.
