Chapter 13 Homecoming to see parents
The next day, I got up early, tidied up the bedding, cleaned the house, and prepared to go home.
Enter the space to pick up the fish.
As soon as I entered the island, I saw a big bee flying from the cucumber rack, with its wings buzzing. I was very shocked. The bee was the size of a sparrow. I suspected that it was a big hornet. I saw him hovering in the air with a horoscope before flying away. I stared at its shadow blankly until I could no longer see it.
Seeing his flying movements, I was sure that it was a bee. I had never seen it before. I felt relieved when I thought of this strange thing that might happen in an alien space and what kind of monster I saw.
It must be the faint fragrance of cucumber flowers that attracted bees. Cucumbers need to be powdered. There is no wind here, so it would be nice to have bees coming.
Looking at the cucumber rack again, I was shocked again. The big cucumbers were green and half a meter long. They were as thick as a rolling pin, and they hung densely on the rack, falling straight to the small bamboo pole bent.
The newly planted cucumber seeds were unearthed last night and have grown to half a person tall. If you don’t set up a seedling, you will fall. I don’t have to send fish first, so it’s important to set up a stand.
I picked a few cucumbers, took them out of the space, and sent them to Master Gao, asking him to cook a dish and have a meal in the morning.
Master Gao was shocked when he saw the cucumber.
"Where did it? This cucumber is going to become a sperm!"
"I bought it in the convenience market. I thought it was so big and I thought it was fun, so I brought it back and taste it."
Master Gao may have broken the cucumber head out of curiosity and started chewing it.
"Yeah! Crispy! Tender! Sweet! Like an apple, it doesn't taste astringent when eaten with the skin. This variety is good!"
When Master Gao praised the deliciousness of cucumbers, I also pretended to be curious, broke a piece of it, and ate it for a few bites, which was really delicious.
"This is a big profit!"
Of course I can't tell Master Gao that I planted it in the space. I walked out of the kitchen while saying "delicious".
I went to the construction site to get the bamboo pole and hemp rope, returned to the space, and set up a frame for the new melon seedlings.
Then, carry the fish basket to hold the fish.
When I arrived at the convenience market, I gave the fish to the bearded man first.
When the middle-aged woman saw me appear, she ran over happily.
"Brother, don't forget that I'm here!"
"Don't worry, auntie, I can't forget it!"
How can my customers be negligent? They work hard to ride the tricycle. After the fish in the fish basket is delivered, there is still a shortage of middle-aged women's two-trough fish.
I had to fuck the net again and cast the net to fish. The net fish was very fast, but I couldn't compare to pouring it directly into the bucket with a bamboo basket.
After a few more trips, I finally completed the task. Learning from this lesson, the fish basket seemed to be insufficient, so I went to the fishing gear store and bought a few more. Entered the space and sank it into the water. So many fish baskets were enough to supply big bearded and middle-aged women.
When he returned to the construction site, Master Gao invited me to have breakfast.
"Aren't you going back to your hometown today? You'll have breakfast and come back as soon as possible. No need to wait for them. Anyway, there's food, and they can eat whenever they come."
In addition to millet porridge, steamed buns and eggs, Master Gao specially made cucumbers soaked with oil. The taste was so refreshing, crispy and sweet. Just this plate of cucumbers are enjoyable when eating.
Usually, Master Gao cooks in front and in the back. Today, he didn’t wait for Uncle Liu and Wang Changhai to serve a bowl of rice porridge and sat opposite me to eat together.
It can be seen that his focus is on cucumbers. This plate was scraped apart by the two of us, but fortunately there was still in the basin.
Saying goodbye to Master Gao, carrying the gift box I bought yesterday, I rushed to the long-distance bus station and embarked on the journey home.
The mountain roads are winding, and the car is not driving fast. It can be reached for two hours after 100 miles. The car can only pull me to the countryside, and it is more than ten miles away from home.
Because my Jiashigou Village is too remote, there is no bus passing through my village, and there is not even a taxi in the village. This is not a problem for me, so I found a place to carry people, took out the electric tricycle from the space, and turned the electric door and went onto the dirt road.
With such a means of transportation, it is not a big deal. It takes only ten minutes to get home.
"Mom, I'm back!"
My mother came out of the house when she heard the shouts and was surprised to see me riding an electric tricycle.
"Xiao Yu, you came back with this?"
"Ah...ha! Yes! I bought a new one."
I didn't tell my mother that she had just ridden for a while, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain clearly.
My father is out.
"No, I can earn an electric tricycle after going out for three months. Now it will be much more convenient for us to go up the mountain and go down the mountain to get some things."
My father smiled and circled around the three wheels, touching this and that, and he liked it very much.
To be honest, I really didn't consider leaving the tricycle for my family and having to use it to pull fish. Seeing that my father liked it so much, he got something on his back every day, I immediately made a decision to leave the tricycle.
"Dad, aren't you more relaxed when you have a three-wheeler?"
"Hahahaha!"
My father couldn't stop laughing.
"Oh! Xiaoyu feels sorry for your father, I know how to respect him!" My mother's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on her forehead stretched a lot.
I took out the pastries, milk and oranges in the car.
"Mom, the tricycles are for dad. These are for you. Dad has tricycles for easy work, so you are always responsible for digesting these delicious foods."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
My mother took the thing with a smile, and tears seemed to shine in the corners of her eyes.
"Making money is not easy, why buy this? You have to save some money and get a wife!"
Seeing that his mother had a relationship, the father quickly interrupted, "Good boy, don't you bring anything else to your dad except electric cars?"
I lifted a box of big songs in the carriage again.
"See? This box is all from Dad, so you can drink it slowly!"
The father grinned.
My parents knew that I was back today, and I called last night. My mother started to make noodles early in the morning. As soon as I got home, she would definitely make dumplings and knew that I liked this the most.
Of course I can't be idle either. Wash my hands and come forward to help.
"These three rounds are not cheap. There are ones sold in the village, which are 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. I can't bear to buy them. How much money will you have left after buying this?"
My father brought a floor fan, adjusted the direction, and blew the cool breeze for me. I felt this silent fatherly love.
"Dad, I know you can't bear to leave, so I didn't discuss it with you. Since you bought it, you can use it. You can still earn money after spending it, and you will earn more."
I don’t want my parents to worry too much, so I have to give him a reassurance, but now I can’t tell them that I already have tens of thousands of dollars.
"Just brag! We can't brag too loudly. The people in the mountains are really good. Those who speak unreliable all day long."
My mother was teaching me subtly that I didn’t think so much since I was a child.
"Mom, I'm not bragging, your son does what he says."
After a burst of laughter, my mother sighed.
"If you can brag about your wife coming back, that's fine. The eldest son is too young. This marriage is the top priority. Our family is poor and you are older, so it's even harder to say about your wife. This is the biggest worry between your father and I."
