Chapter 577 Qi Lin's Grandfather
Chapter 577 577. Qi Lin’s Grandpa
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 grandson is back with a courier!"
The mountainous area was full of loess and was very empty. Although the two families were far apart, half of the village could still hear this voice.
The neighbor couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Qi's grandson picked it up well. He kowtows to his son's grave. In the future, he can also wear sackcloth and show mourning for him, so that 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, it's better to quit and stay at home and farm the land honestly. Now I can have my great-grandson in my arms." "
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the wife next to him: "No matter how far Linzi goes, he will give Lao Qi a thousand yuan every month, and he will also send special products to Lao Qi every time he goes back to a new place..."
"You are farming at home, and I don't want you to send me fruits, snacks, lotus root powder or anything like that. Why don't you give me a thousand yuan every month to my mother!"
The man immediately fell silent!
One thousand a month, darling, no... no... no more than twelve thousand a year!
He frowned: "Is 12,000 yuan more than a year? If you work in a factory, you can earn it in two months!"
"Then go earn it! You're lazy and greedy... Look, there are a few like you in the village..."
…
Lao Qi didn't know anything about the commotion at other people's houses. He just rushed to the canteen and wiped it with a hanging towel. His face was covered with sweat, and then he smiled and said:
"What's the point of sending this?"
The boss laughed and said, "How did I know that? It was 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 the postal service car can deliver the package to me."
Lao Qi also thought so, but the child had sent fruits before, and it was still a waste of money. Then transfer it to the postal service——
The people who drive the postal trucks here are from the countryside, and they often help carry other things to the town. It's convenient to go to the canteen here to buy some tofu and other things the next day, and then bring them back.
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."
"You are so old. If you don't save money to buy a house in the city, where will you find a wife?"
"Ouch!" The owner of the canteen laughed at him: "You didn't say that this guy you picked up couldn't support the family, so you had to ask him to stay with me? If the college student who was teaching hadn't come to scold you, you wouldn't have done it!"
Lao Qi was not ashamed at all: "He didn't speak much before, and he had that same mouth, and he was so sullen. How did he know he would be able to make a profit now? He had to take out loans to go to college, and he owed a debt to the country. He only paid it off the year before last... Are you willing?"
"Besides, what's the use of staying with me? I've learned farming, what can we grow here? It's better to 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 felt good in his heart.
It’s inevitable to want to show off.
This is not——
"You said that the straw mats you sent me 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 they cost thirty, which is not as good as my old bamboo mats!"
The old bamboo mat has been around for many years, that is, the bamboo strips on the sides have become raised, so you can sleep in the middle.
The person 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 at the market. I'm afraid it will cost fifty or sixty yuan, so don't give it to me!"
"That's a miss!"
Lao Qi sighed: "Don't tell me, the agriculture that Linzi learned at the beginning seems to be promising, and his vision has improved! Everything sent here tastes good, and this straw mat is also different. The fan didn't even blow when I was lying down last night. , it was cool all night and I didn’t even sweat!”
How rare!
Moreover, bamboo doesn't grow here much, 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:
In their place, it is either sunny or windy every day, and it is still not hot even when it is more than 30 degrees Celsius?
Showing off your grandson is getting even more outrageous.
"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 canteen owner 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 the bag, I'll catch some for you."
After thinking about it, I also caught a handful of shrimps. But it’s much less than dried fish.
Every time I did the express delivery, someone would help me carry it. This time, Lao Qi didn't even bother to search, he just picked up 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 is also saying: "Why is this fish so delicious!"
At the same time, he went to look for the sauerkraut on the shelf: "Where is the sauerkraut that I brought in? I remember there..."
The pickled cabbage doesn’t grow well here, so the boss always buys a big can, and whoever buys it will weigh a pound or half a pound... After digging for a long time, he finally turned over the plastic can and shouted: "Lanhua, let’s stew pickled fish for lunch!"
He went into the house happily: "Linzi just sent it back, and Lao Qi grabbed a handful - it’s especially delicious!"
The farmers’ hands are rough but strong when they work!
The handfuls they grabbed are really not without skills, but there are a lot of them.
The wife was also very surprised: "Fish! Oh, Linzi is a good university student, he has come from all over the world, and he eats all the delicious food."
Looking at the shrimp, she couldn’t help but pick one, the shell was so crispy and the shrimp meat was so fresh...
Ouch! Ouch!
She felt distressed instantly and took all the fish and shrimp in the bag:
"Wait until our child comes back on Friday night to eat!"
Boss: ...
It’s only Monday today!
He discussed with his wife: "Look at you, you are so stingy. It's inconvenient for us to buy fish and shrimp, but it's not that we can't afford it. So, you can cook them all for lunch first. I'll ask Linzi later to see where he bought them and give us a few more pounds!"
In fact, I still feel distressed. After all, we are still in this village. Even if we have money, it's very limited. The fish and shrimp here are also expensive.
But...it's so delicious, it's not a big deal to eat more!
The wife still held half of the crispy fish tail in her hand. At this moment, she was entangled for a long time: "Okay, then I'll cook them all?"
"Do it!"
The boss waved his hand: "I'll call and buy a few more pounds later!"
It's getting later and later every day...but I still keep the bottom line during the day!
I'll try to get up early tomorrow!
