I did not go out on the seventh day of the seventh day, did not go home on the eighth day, and the ninth day was too late. So early in the sixth day of the sixth day, I had eaten the "going out dumplings" specially made by grandma Yang and aunts. People set foot on the vehicle back to Nanjiang.
As soon as I got out of the car, the powerful sixth sense immediately felt the unique atmosphere in the village. After getting in, Qian Xiaohai rushed over early, grabbing sugar cane while teasing the lamb, reporting in his mouth that it turned out that the village started to do social dramas today.
Before the father and daughter could enter the door of the back room, Qian Liqin heard the sound and said in it: "Why is it so late? I finally look forward to your return. The house has been busy these days, and I worry about you. I went home on the ninth day of the ninth day, and I wanted to send someone a letter to remind me."
Yang Yong looked around the house and asked strangely: "Why didn't you see the eldest sister?"
Qian Liqin was filling melon seeds in a small plastic bag with a measuring cup, sealed one by one, and sold it under the stage: "She's back to Dazhekou."
"Why so fast? In previous years, didn't you always come back and live for ten and a half days and watch a few scenes before leaving?"
"Her eldest son is going to France to help overseas Chinese migrants in Jintian on the fifth day of February. There are still some things to prepare for at home. He hurried to stay overnight and rushed home... The eldest sister heard about the family affairs and knew that we were nervous. , Confiscated the gift money for our farewell, and borrowed two hundred yuan to us. This year we can survive this year."
"Oh." Yang Yong is a little regretful: "Then I will go around and have a look when I go out to sell American ginseng after the Lantern Festival."
Qian Liqin ignored it, and went on to say: "The fourth sister did not come back, so the eldest daughter of the Yang family, who was married in Hongqiao, Wenzhou, sent a message back. In December last year, she rented a few acres of land with someone, and plans to plant a double season this year. Rice, let you come and help when planting seedlings."
Yang Yong counted the days carefully in his heart, and pinched his eyebrows: "I rented so much, plus her own family. How can they be so busy with their family of three? Besides, when the plug season rice seedlings, I sold out American ginseng. Hurry back to grow potatoes."
Hearing this, Qian Liqin was displeased: "They are plains, and there have been harvesters in the past two years. Didn't you ask for help when harvesting rice this year? Planting seedlings now, what are you talking about."
"I know, I'll just go there when the time comes."
Qian Liqin moved her body, looked at the sunlight on the wall of the small courtyard, kept busy in her hand, and shouted into the room: "Wheat, go to the cabinet upstairs and take two dried powders. Let's take two at noon. Eat fried noodles. During the New Year's greetings this year, your second aunt sent a lot of noodles to dry. Your grandma shared some of them with our family. Today, I fried them for you to taste."
Without saying a word, Qian Mai ran upstairs to open the cabinet, took the dried powder and examined it carefully, and returned with his hands empty.
Qian Liqin was surprised: "Why didn't you bring it, don't you like it?"
Qianmai stood on tiptoe and murmured a few words in Qianliqin's ear: "Mom, you can't eat that dry powder..."
"Really? You can't talk nonsense without evidence?"
"Of course it is true. That time I accompanied my grandmother and entered their room. The thing was placed in the hidden corner of the bed. I saw it with my eyes. There are many."
Although Qian Liqin was taken aback, she still sternly told her daughter: "Don't go out and talk about this. If someone else hears it, no one will buy your second aunt's fan. Then they will hate it. You, I thought it was our adults who instigated you, did you know?" She said so, but she sighed secretly in her heart. This second sister was also really true. She brought a large bag of powder and came to pay the New Year's greetings, saying that it was the third sister Jianfang. My brother had no money to work in Wenzhou, so he sold it in disguise and asked his mother for fifty yuan. Unexpectedly, it's still dry like this. I don't want to think about what kind of body my mother is like, so much of her body is ruined by eating so much powder, and it is her own family who suffers and spends money. It seems that we have to find an excuse to deal with all the powder.
Qian Mai banged his nose to the sky, shrugged and said, "You can rest assured. Whoever loves to take care of their family's affairs, I will not eat it by myself. Food is the best vegetables and vegetables grown in my own home. You will also Don't let Xiaohai drink some cod liver oil. A few dollars is nothing good."
Qian Liqin thought about it, and nodded when he felt reasonable: "Then you have lunch at noon, you go to prepare the rice, and my mother has to pack all of these seeds. I ate early, and we will go to the stage together and change you. Grandpa came back for dinner."
Until the scent of food floated in the pot, Qian Liqin suddenly remembered an important thing, slowed down her hand, and said to Qian Mai, who was cooking, "Mai, is there any lucky money to go to Luodian? , Mom will keep it for you, and pay you the tuition when the school starts."
Qianmai knows that he is confused, and deliberately said to him: "Mom, don't bother you, I can pay the tuition by myself."
Yang Yongle, who helped Zhang Xiaobao on the side, smiled, Qian Liqin was puzzled and asked, "How many are there?"
"Twenty, when the adults gave it, even Xiao Mo's share was given to her."
"No wonder you have to pay it by yourself. At a young age, you are so financially obsessed... Why are you bringing two lambs back, we have never raised sheep."
"Bring it up and see, this thing is easy, the sheep's neck is tied with a rope, rushed to the foot of the hill behind the house, and just tied it to the stump..."
