Secretary Xiao Zhu actually didn't take the two kilograms of tobacco seriously.
After all, in her age group, there are very few people who still smoke tobacco. The old man at home smokes cigarettes, and the logistics department brings them directly.
But... there's no point in keeping this thing. At least it can show her family how close she is to the villagers and prove that the work she does is well-respected.
So I also sent back the honey and tea leaves I had bought before.
By the time the express delivery got all the way up the mountain, four days had passed.
In the red-roofed and white-walled community in the quiet mountain forest, everything is quiet. Someone is playing the erhu beside the bamboo forest, and an old lady is stretching her arms on the fitness equipment. Except for the abrupt sound of chess pieces being smashed in the pavilion, it can even be said to be a paradise.
It was just 9:00 in the morning. The logistics vehicle brought everyone's express delivery back from the foot of the mountain. After a basic inspection, Mr. Zhu received the express delivery in the yard.
But he was busy getting his pawns across the river and couldn't think straight at the moment.
"Lao Yun, help me check what the express is."
The old man named Lao Yun was not angry. He took the package from the side and took a quick look: "What Yunqiao Village... Wow! This place is quite remote. Lao Zhu, the sender is Zhu Jun - does your eldest granddaughter work there?"
Speaking of his eldest granddaughter, Old Zhu's face lit up: "Yes. She is a thoughtful girl. She still thinks of me when she goes to the countryside to work. She is always here and there. You know, she only has a few wages in total, but she spends them all on me!"
Who doesn’t know how to show off their grandkids
Lao Yun also smiled and said, "My grandson is the same. You said he just did a job and achieved some results, and he even called me to tell me... This kid is still too young and can't keep his composure!"
Seeing that the box was quite large, he asked, "Do you want to open it?"
"dismantle."
Old Zhu used a "check" to push the chess piece over heavily. The old man opposite him instantly turned gloomy, and then he snorted and stood up.
He had no future so he could show off, so he simply said, "My waist is uncomfortable after sitting for so long, I have to get up and walk around."
Old Zhu didn't care and turned around to look at his express delivery.
Last time, my son called and said that the tea his daughter sent over was amazing - humph, he only knew her father, and he, the grandfather, didn't even get to taste a single bite!
I wish you: …
Unjust! Who knew you were not at home and went to the mountains again!
However, this time the full package was specially sent to the old man.
When I opened it, I saw a few ordinary plastic bags, which looked very rustic and casual.
"What is this?" Several old men gathered around.
Well, a bunch of white fungus, small and yellow, looks particularly pitiful.
The white fungus was good, but these gentlemen were not really interested in the sweet soup, so they just put it aside.
Look again—two bottles of honey!
Why are all these sweet
But as you get older, drinking some honey water is also good for you, okay
Next came two boxes of tea—
Wow, that’s the point!
Old Zhu became excited: Is this the top-quality tea that my granddaughter talked about
He quickly called everyone, "Come on, come on, my granddaughter said this is the local specialty mountain tea, which is better than the tea she has drunk since she was a child - what does she know about drinking tea as a little girl? Let's taste it."
As soon as the words came out, someone on the other end immediately picked up the cups and brought over a kettle.
The tea leaves were quickly opened and each person put a handful into the cup. Before they were even soaked in water, a fresh fragrance wafted to the face.
Old Zhu: …
His heart was pounding, and he always had a bad feeling.
The next moment, as the hot water brewed, an indescribable fragrance instantly emerged from everyone's tea cups.
Good job!
The chess old man who had a gloomy face just now slapped his thigh instantly: "It's really good tea!"
He held the cup and blew on it impatiently, wishing he could have a taste right away.
Old Zhu: …
He calmly closed the lid of the tea can and then pretended to push it aside casually.
Finally, he opened the remaining bags: "What is this?"
I opened it and took a look, wow, there was a bag of golden and yellow fine tobacco shreds.
"What a silly kid!" He immediately laughed, "I don't smoke, why give me this?"
Lao Yun took a look, reached out and grabbed a handful to sniff carefully: "This tobacco looks high quality - Lao Zhu, if you don't want to smoke it, just give it to me."
"My son recently bought a cigarette rolling machine online, so I used it to roll a couple of cigarettes to try."
Lao Yun is a heavy smoker, smoking one or two packs of cigarettes a day, and he refuses to listen to the doctor's advice.
Since he had spoken, Old Zhu was quite straightforward: "Okay, you can take half."
After thinking for a while, he looked at the people sitting there, and saw that no one could live without cigarettes, so he simply said:
"Bring your cigarette rolling machine over here and show us what it looks like."
He muttered, "Nowadays, we have all kinds of tools. In the past, when we rolled cigarettes, we just cut newspapers and folded them into a tube, then filled it with tobacco."
When this was said, everyone recalled the past events many years ago and became interested:
"Yes, Lao Yun, bring your tool over here, let's roll and smoke it ourselves."
"OK!"
Lao Yun was also straightforward.
A mountain breeze blew by, the leaves rustled, and a faint cool breeze spread throughout the pavilion, making people feel refreshed and the fragrance of the tea even more elegant.
Everyone couldn't help but sit down again, each holding their own tea cup, their eyes full of impatience.
"Just smelling this aroma makes one feel refreshed. It's really no worse than the tea we drink!"
"Of course!" Old Zhu was still trying to flatter his granddaughter: "This girl has such good tea, she must help others find a good market for it, it can't be buried."
As he spoke, he blew slowly towards the water surface, and then took a careful sip.
When the tea goes down my throat, it feels like the continuous spring steam rushing into my mouth, and then sliding down my throat smoothly, with the sweet aftertaste spreading in my throat, and I feel completely intoxicated...
Old Zhu was simply stunned!
After he waited for a while and sighed, he came to his senses and saw that everyone was in a state of joy and intoxication.
“Good tea!”
He shouted loudly, and then he remembered how he had just generously pulled out a handful of tea to brew for everyone, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it -
Everyone is used to drinking tea, and they must have strong tea.
Look, most of Lao Yun’s teacup opposite is full of tea leaves. He must not be so generous next time.
Looking at everyone else, they were also very excited: "What a good tea! It's really good - Lao Zhu, give me a bag of tea!"
Old Zhu shuddered in his heart: "What are you talking about! My granddaughter is filial to me. Wouldn't it hurt her filial piety if I give it to you?"
Good job!
Lao Yun also snorted: "Last year, my son made me a cellar-stored girl's red wine. You took half of it, right? Then how can I make up for my son's filial piety?"
