Liu Qingshan immediately pulled out a plastic bag, put two or three kilograms of bamboo shoots in it, and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, take it."
"Ah? This is too much. I only want one pound." The old man was a little embarrassed, "Besides, there are not so many oranges in my basket."
"Hey, just take it. I don't want the oranges anymore. I also plant oranges at home." Liu Qingshan said, then stuffed the bamboo shoots into the arms of the old man.
The old man held the heavy bamboo shoots and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I just said, there are still many good people in this world." The aunt selling vegetables next to her smiled.
Liu Qingshan grabbed his hair in a naive manner: "Hi, this thing doesn't cost anyway, so you can find it if you dig it up, it's not worth mentioning."
For a moment, Liu Qingshan's image became taller in an instant.
The vendors around him looked at him, and they unconsciously brought a hint of admiration in their eyes.
In fact, the reason why Liu Qingshan wanted to give bamboo shoots to the old man for free was because he remembered his big grandmother.
Although the big grandma was unwilling to go out to meet people, he knew that in the big grandma's heart, there was also a man as cute as this old man lived.
After selling the bamboo shoots, Liu Qingshan bought some fruits and meat dishes from the vendor next to him.
When I returned to the village, I went straight to my grandma's house.
The door is still tightly closed.
This door has been closed for decades.
Liu Qingshan lay outside the door and looked inside, carrying a large bag of things in his hand: "Big grandma, it's me, Qingshan, I'm here to see you again."
There were only the chicks and ducks in the yard.
Liu Qingshan knew that the big grandma must be sitting inside, because the big grandma had almost nothing to go out, and except staying at home, she never visited other people's houses.
Even if she usually wants to buy anything, her second uncle will do it for her.
"I bought you delicious fruits and fish. Open the door and I'll send it in."
The afternoon wind blew gently, and the sunlight lazily spread on the high walls, roofs, and weeds in the corners of the walls.
Liu Qingshan shouted a few times outside the door, but there was no response in the yard. He had to hang the fruit and fish on the nails, and then shouted inward: "Grandma, I hang the things on the head of the door, don't forget to take them."
After saying that, he drove away.
But the car stopped just after using dozens of meters, and then turned around and stared at the gate of the big grandma's courtyard.
With a creaking sound, the door opened.
The thin arm stretched out from inside and took off the food from the door.
Seeing this, Liu Qingshan quickly got out of the car and ran back. While running, he shouted: "Big Grandma, Big Grandma!"
But before he could finish his speech, he heard a clang and the iron gate immediately closed.
Liu Qingshan’s plan failed.
I originally wanted to wait for the rabbit, but I didn't expect the rabbit to run too fast.
However, the big grandmother's extreme reaction was indeed beyond Liu Qingshan's expectations. He originally thought that the big grandmother had opened the door and as long as he called her, she would not close the door, but she did not expect that she would still close the door.
Liu Qingshan stayed there, looked at the closed courtyard gate, and then looked at the weeds on the wall, thinking, how can the big grandma come out of it?
It seems that this matter has to be discussed for a long time. If you force your grandma into a hurry, she might not even want the food she bought for her in the future.
Liu Qingshan could only sigh and drove home.
But as soon as the motorcycle stopped in the large yard, Liu Qingshan found something was wrong at home.
Why did the big wooden door be closed?
Where did my mom go?
Liu Qingshan didn't care about the chickens and ducks that were quacking forward to ask for food, so he quickly opened the wooden door and walked into the house.
"Mom, I'm back."
"mom?"
"mom?"
After calling a few times but not hearing the response, Liu Qingshan felt a little uneasy, so he took out his cell phone and called his father.
The phone was connected, but my mother was talking on the other end.
"Mom, where have you been? I got home and didn't see you."
"Qingshan, why did you go home so early today?" My mother asked strangely on the other end of the phone.
Before, my son sold bamboo shoots in the town until evening. It was just after lunch, why did his son go home?
"The county town is easier to sell, it was sold out in an instant. Mom, you haven't answered me yet, where are you?"
"Oh, that, oh, don't push me, don't tell him, are you going to walk home later?" My mother didn't know who to talk to, it sounded like something was wrong.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Liu Qingshan had already served a bowl of rice and started eating.
"Qingshan, let me tell you the truth. Your dad got hurt when he entered the mountain yesterday. He scraped his sha a little healed last night, but after breakfast today, it hurt so much, so we came to the town health center. Your dad is still getting an injection."
"Ah?" Liu Qingshan was anxious and didn't even bother to eat. He immediately stood up and said, "Mom, then wait, I'll go down to find you now."
"No, no, no." My mother immediately stopped him, "Qingshan, don't worry, listen to me, your father's injection is fine and it doesn't hurt anymore, but he can't go home before the potion is finished. When the potion is finished, it will probably be until evening. Then your dad and I take a bus to the intersection of the village. You can just come out to answer us after the phone call. The chickens and ducks at home are hungry for a day, so you can feed the chickens and ducks first."
"Feed the millet?"
"If you don't feed the millet, I cooked a little chicken in the morning. Just pour it out. Remember to pour it into several pots, otherwise some smaller chickens won't be able to grab it."
"I got it, I haven't eaten chickens."
"And," my mother continued, "I haven't even swept the chicken and duck shit in the chicken coop. You can sweep it, remember to sprinkle some dust and sweep it, then sweep it up and put it in a snakeskin bag in the corner."
"Oh oh oh, I got it!"
Although Liu Qingshan was still a little worried about his father, since his mother said it was okay, it would be fine. Moreover, his mother also explained the work, so she must do it.
According to my mother's instructions, I shoveled out the chicken in the big iron pot with a shovel, poured it into a plastic bucket, and then carried it to the yard to distribute it to many chickens and ducks.
There seem to be forty or fifty chickens, and there are more than a dozen ducks.
Although there are a lot of chickens and ducks in Liu Qingshan's family, if my mother doesn't speak, no one can touch a single hair of these chickens and ducks.
My mother said, "Chicken lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, you kill all the chickens, do you lay eggs for me?"
Therefore, it is usually only during the holidays or special days that the family can kill chickens and ducks.
Eggs can be hatched into chickens or sold for money.
In such places where birds and animals are everywhere, and every household has local chickens and ducks, the prices of local eggs and local duck eggs are not high.
The local eggs are smaller, and can only be sold for one dollar. The local duck eggs have the advantage of being small and can be sold for one dollar.
So, even if only half of the chickens and ducks lay eggs in a day, they can be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan.
However, the premise is that someone has to buy it. If no one buys it, you can only keep these native eggs, duck eggs, etc. for yourself.
Or give it to my mother's relatives.
After feeding the chickens and ducks, Liu Qingshan brought some wood ash out of the stove and walked towards the chicken coop.
Before we reached the door of the chicken coop, the smell of chicken and duck feces that thrilled at the nose instantly filled the entire nasal cavity and even pressed the nerves.
My parents are used to this situation every day, but Liu Qingshan has been working outside for many years and has lived in the city's steel and concrete environment for a while. Now he has to face the smelly chicken and duck shit...
To be honest, this is a big challenge!
This is not pretentious.
It’s like a person who used to be very good at eating chili peppers, but later because of some factors, after not eating chili peppers for several consecutive years, he suddenly started to stutter and tasted perverted spicy peppers. It really won’t be able to regain the feeling back in a short while.
Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with using what you eat to describe this chicken and duck shit! Anyway, that's the truth. It's really not pretentious!
No matter how smelly chicken and duck shit are, it is just a feeling caused by people's sense of smell. Liu Qingshan remembered the words of Lu Xiucai in the Wulin Wisdom, as long as he opens his mouth and breathes without using his nose, he will not smell the odor.
Well, he nodded slightly, and immediately opened his mouth wide and walked towards the chicken coop while breathing.
The more beautiful the imagination is, the more cruel the reality is.
The feces that the dozens of chickens and ducks excreted for the whole night were all piled up in the not-so-spacious chicken coop. After a day of fermentation, the spread of fly and insects, and the trampling of chickens and ducks...
And Liu Qingshan was breathing with a bloody mouth...
...tot...
