Chapter 33 County Town

After winter vacation, it means that the Spring Festival is not far away.

On the 24th day of the 12th lunar month, Chen’s father and Chen’s mother rushed back and rolled back with the bedding.

"Dad, a friend of mine said that the county will repair the building next year. He contracted it and asked me to go and help him next year. I think I am working outside, and it is the same at the house. When it is close, I can still help me." After dinner, the family got together and started chatting.

Grandpa Chen said relaxedly: "I don't care about my own spare time. Anyway, you have grown up, just know what you do."

After hearing from my son that he would work in the county town next year, he would be close to home. Grandma Chen was very happy. Children are the treasures of his mother. For his mother-in-law, his son is even more at ease.

After the Chinese New Year, the weather warmed up and everything revived. The children were all school started. Chen’s father also went to work in the county town, and Chen’s mother stayed at home.

At the end of April, when the apricots were ripe, it was the birthday of the grandmother Luo Jiawan. It happened to be Saturday. The family went early in the afternoon, and Dad Chen also came back.

It was very lively and rested for a night. The next morning, after breakfast, I was going home. My grandfather pulled Dad Chen and said, "The apricots are ripe, so pick some back."

At this time, the several apricot trees in front of the yard were covered with red apricots. This kind of apricot is the ordinary apricot sold on the market, which is precottier than the apricots of Xiaoxi family. The apricots of Xiaoxi family are larger, twice as large as this one.

Dad Chen was picking on the tree, Mom Chen was holding a bag under the tree, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin picked up the food in the bag, Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen and several other old people were chatting on the street.

"Guihua, the two children have not been to the county town yet. Today is Sunday. Why don't we take them to the county town?" Seeing the two children with sore teeth on the ground, they began to pick up the apricots that were dropped on the ground and then dig the kernels inside, Dad Chen suggested.

Chen's mother was very hesitant. If she went to the county town with her children, her father-in-law and in-laws would probably be unhappy. If she felt that it was her instigation, she would probably be muttering in front of her again.

Before Chen's mother could say anything, the two little guys took the lead and said excitedly: "If you want it, we are going to the county town."

Seeing that Dad Chen did not answer him, he only looked at Mom Chen, the two little guys turned their heads and looked at Mom Chen. Mom Chen looked at the three people who were looking at him steadily, and suddenly felt that she was Alexander!

But the two children were so expectant that they couldn't say anything they refused, so they said hesitantly: "But the parents..."

"Okay, let's go to the county town to play today." Chen's father said to his two children, and then looked at Chen's mother, "It's okay, the family is not busy anyway, so they won't say anything." He didn't care about his wife's worries at all and said carelessly.

After hearing these natural words, Xiaoxi almost couldn't help but hold his forehead. Dad, don't you know that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born to be enemies in this world? Although they can't reach the enemy, their relationship is not very good! His son has never taken him to the county town to play, but he took his wife first. Who wouldn't he be sad and complain about this?

However, Xiaoxi doesn't worry about these things now. Anyway, she has grandpa, and her mother-in-law is so angry that she goes there quickly. She curled her lips and said nothing, and continued to pick up apricot kernels with Chen Yubin.

Seeing that he had packed a bag, Dad Chen came down from the tree and the group went back to the street. When Grandpa Yao saw that a few people were back, Dad Chen was holding a bag in his hand and complained with a smile: "Why don't you pick more apricots? Anyway, we can't finish it. It would be a pity if it fell to the ground and rotten."

Dad Chen raised the bag in his hand, "So much, enough, I can't finish it. In another two days, we can eat the apricots at our house."

Seeing this, Grandpa Chen was getting late, so he said to Grandpa Yao: "That's right, brother, we'll go back after you've been wasted so much time."

"Dad." Dad Chen suddenly interrupted and said to Grandpa Chen, "Dad, I want to take Guihua and two children to the county town for a day."

When Grandma Chen heard this, her face changed. She looked at Mom Chen's expressions, but she knew that this was the daughter-in-law's family, and the grandfather's family was also a relative of her family for many years, so she didn't say anything, but her face was very bad.

Grandpa Chen looked at his daughter-in-law, then looked at Grandpa Young, and then said to Dad Chen: "That's right, there's nothing to do in the house anyway, so it's right for you to take them to play for a day, but remember that the two children will go to class tomorrow." Then he lowered his head and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin: "Xiaoxi Binbin, go to the county town with your father, have fun, come back and tell grandpa what's fun in the county town."

Xiaoxi quickly smiled gratefully and said flatteringly: "Well, we can do it. When we come back, we will definitely tell you about the fun of the county town, and we will bring you delicious food." Chen Yubin also nodded seriously.

This made everyone around him laugh, and her mother-in-law's face improved a lot, and Xiaoxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After stopping his smile, Grandpa Chen said to the youngest grandfather beside him: "Brother, then we'll leave."

"That's right." After saying that, he complained, "I've said it, let you play for two days, but you haven't been busy these two days, so you won't listen. Then you can slow down on the road and be careful!"

"Well, you will be no longer busy in two days, so you can come down to play."

"Yeah, I have to."

Seeing the four people walking away, Grandma Chen complained, "What do you agree? There are so many things in the house, and Binbin and the others should go to school tomorrow. Besides, even if Binbin and the others go, you can ask Guihua to stay at the house! Oh, let her go out and have fun, and leave me to work hard at the house."

Knowing that my wife was feeling uncomfortable, Grandpa Chen advised: "Okay, okay, they will be back tomorrow. Xiaoxi and the others will have to go to school tomorrow. Xiaoxi and the others will have to go to fresh and fresh before they go to the county town. There are two children who are still young, so they always need their mother to take care of them. Do you think your son can take care of them? Besides, the in-laws were all there just now, can I refuse?"

Grandma Chen thought about it repeatedly and thought it was the same. Just go there, what else can I do?

"Okay, don't think too much."

Grandma Chen's eyes cried out, "Who's thinking too much?" After saying that, she walked over Grandpa Chen and walked in front with big strides.

The four of them walked for half an hour to the township. At this time, from the village to the township, the only means of transportation was motorcycle and two legs. Then they spent a few dollars to arrive at the county town.

There is actually nothing to do in the county town. I bought clothes for Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, short-sleeved and shorts. After Xiaoxi tried the clothes and they fit very well, Chen's father asked them to wear them directly without taking them off. However, Xiaoxi developed a habit in his previous life, no matter what clothes they had to wash them before they could wear them after buying them, so he took them off and put them in a bag. However, Chen Yubin was very stinky and showed off his body.

I was going to buy clothes for my mother Chen, but my mother Chen thought that the parents-in-law were unhappy when they came to the county town. It was nothing to buy clothes for their children. If they were to buy them, they would probably have to fight a verbal battle, so let it go.

As they were spinning, a few people came to the fruit stall. At this time, a lot of fruits came out. Chen's father picked two or three kilograms of bright red nectarines and two kilograms of loquats, which were the big loquats sold on the market, one kilogram of strawberries, and then bought a pineapple for each of the two children. The pineapples on the fruit stalls were usually cut into pieces and put on bamboo sticks and soaked in salt water. This was very easy to sell. Because there is something in the pineapple that stimulates the mouth. If you eat too much, your tongue will not be able to bear it. If you buy too much, you will not be able to eat it. This piece of cake is just right.

After taking two bites, Xiaoxi couldn't stand it anymore, so Chen's mother took it and took it.

After walking around twice, it was almost twelve o'clock and it was time for lunch, so Dad Chen found a restaurant and led the family in.

I ordered a fried pork with salt, a cucumber, a small stir-fried pork, and a large bowl of rice. The family of four had a delicious meal.

After dinner, Chen's father took the three of them back to his place where he lived. It was a six-story building, which was considered a high-rise building in the county town at that time.

Dad Chen and his friends lived on the sixth floor. There was no elevator at this time. The streams were panting before they got up. It seemed that their daily exercise was not enough, so they had to get worse when they went back.

There were four 1.5 meters of steel mesh beds in the house. The room was big and looked empty. Each bed was laid, and it was obviously someone lived in it.

Dad Chen pointed to a bed and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, "This is my bed, you two go to bed for a while." Both children have the habit of taking naps, so they took off their shoes and went to bed without saying anything.

When Xiaoxi woke up, he was so happy to see Chen Yubin sitting at the head of the bed and eating.

"Sister, you're awake, come and eat fruit." Seeing that his sister woke up, Chen Yubin handed the bowl in his arms forward.

I understood why my brother woke up so early. Xiaoxi poked his forehead and cursed with a smile: "You little foodie, no wonder you get up so early. I was afraid that these fruits would be broken!"

Chen Yubin didn't refute, just looked at Xiaoxi and kept smirking, but he didn't rest in his mouth.

After looking at the room, Xiaoxi asked, "Where are dads and the others? Where have you been?"

"They said they would go downstairs and come back later."

"Oh, oh, I'm eating a little bit, what should I do if I eat too much and can't walk on the road?" Xiaoxi quickly carried the bowl over to protect him.

"Sister, it's still early, give me another strawberry." Seeing that my sister had snatched it, Chen Yubin knew that she could not snatch her, so he acted coquettishly.

Xiaoxi really gave him one, and then quickly wiped out the rest in the bowl without leaving any fantasies for Chen Yubin. But the resentful eyes fell on him, it was really, alas! Is there any enjoyment?

After a while, my mother and the others still didn't come back. Xiaoxi and the other two stayed in the house very bored because the door was locked outside and they couldn't get out.

Xiaoxi clamped his legs hard, "Hiss... Binbin, when will mom and the others come back? I want to go to the bathroom!" I ate too much fruit just now.

Chen Yubin pointed to a bucket in the corner and said, "There is there, Dad said, go there if you have pee."

Xiaoxi looked at the urine bucket and was speechless. He hadn't used this thing for many years. Oh, Xiaoxi clamped his legs even harder. There was no way. It was impossible for a person to be suffocated to death by being soaked in urine.
