Chapter 577: Qi Lin's Grandpa

Tugou Village, Yicheng Township.

The van from the small shop at the head of the village drove back, and first shouted: "Old Qi! Lao Qi! Your grandson has sent a courier back!"

The mountainous area is full of loess, and it is very empty. Although the two families are far away, the voice can still be heard by half of the village.

The neighbor couldn't help sighing: "Old Qi's grandson picked it up well, kowtowed to his son's grave, and he can be dressed in sackcloth and filial piety in the future, so that he won't have an offspring."

"That's right, Lin Zi is filial and considerate." The old lady at home also said the same.

The man next to him snorted: "What's so filial? It's not like going to college and going far away. It's better not to go to school and stay at home to farm the land honestly. Now Lao Qi's grandson can be hugged. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer from the daughter-in-law next to him: "No matter how far Linzi travels, he pays Lao Qi a thousand dollars a month, and sends special products to him every time he goes back to a new place..."

"You are farming at home, and I don't want you to send me fruit, snacks, lotus root powder, etc. Why don't you give me a thousand dollars a month for my mother!"

The man immediately fell silent!

One thousand a month, my dear, not...not...not twelve thousand a year!

He poked his neck: "Is it more than 12,000 a year? If you work in a factory, you can earn it in two months!"

"Then go earn it! You are lazy and greedy...Look how many people like you are in the village..."

...

Lao Qi didn't know about the noise in other people's houses. He just rushed to the canteen and wiped it with a neck towel. His face was covered with sweat, and then he smiled and said:

"What is this for?"

The boss laughed: "How do I know that! The Fengfeng express delivery is too far away here, so I still entrust the postal service to pick it up."

"Tell the child, next time I will send the post. Our place is remote, and the postal car can deliver the package to me."

Lao Qi also thinks it is, but the child has sent fruit before, so it has to be done, saying that it is a waste of money. Then transfer to the post——

The people who drive the postal van here are from the village, and they often help to bring other things to the town. The small shop here buys some tofu or something the next day, and they can bring it back, which is convenient.

Old Qi was still rambling on: "Boy, he just spends money lavishly. I have no shortage of food and drink at home. He keeps sending these messy things, and the money is gone."

"It's so old, if you don't save money to buy a house in the city, where will you marry a wife?"

"Ouch!" The shop owner laughed at him: "Didn't you say that the one you picked up couldn't support a family, so you had to tell him to stay with you? If it wasn't for that college student who was a support teacher who came to scold you, you wouldn't have done it!"

Lao Qi is not ashamed at all: "He didn't talk much before, his mouth looked like that, and he was stuffy. How do you know that he can be successful now? He has to pay off the loan to go to college. He owes the country a debt that was paid off the year before last...for Do you want to?"

"Besides, what's the use of staying with me? If you learn to farm, what can we grow in this area? It's better to work in the city and find a wife..."

While talking, he unpacked the package—people in the mountains don’t talk about privacy, and the children send food and food, and Lao Qi complained, but he was not unsightly in his heart.

Inevitably want to show off.

It's not—

"You said the straw mat you sent over last time... Oh, what a waste of money! I went back to collect it last time, and saw that the price of the straw mat has increased. Now it costs 30, which is not as good as my old bamboo mat!"

The old bamboo mat has been around for many years, that is to say, the bamboo strips on the sides are warped up, and it is possible to sleep in the middle.

The shopkeeper couldn't see him like this, and laughed and scolded: "I think the straw mat is much better than the ones on the market. I'm afraid it's not worth fifty or sixty yuan. Don't give it to me!"

"That's not right!"

Lao Qi sighed: "Don't tell me, the farming that Linzi learned at the beginning seems to have a future, and his vision has been developed! The things sent here taste good, and this straw mat is different. Last night, the fan didn't even blow it. , it was cool and cool all night, and I didn't sweat at all!"

How rare!

And they don't grow bamboo very much here, let alone lush weeds. He smelled the fragrance of green grass all night last night, and when he woke up early, he felt that he was sleeping on sweet potato vines.

Net nonsense!

The store owner thought to himself:

As far as they are here, it's either the sun or the wind every day. Isn't it hot at more than 30 degrees?

Showing off your grandson is getting more and more out of line.

"That's so good, I'll go to your house and lie down later - what did you send this time?"

As soon as Lao Qi opened the package, a unique fresh fragrance of fish and shrimp hit his face!

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Fish and shrimp are also rare here! Lao Qi's surprise this time is much bigger than the straw mat last time!

"It smells so good!"

The owner of the canteen sniffed hard twice.

Old Qi was very happy, while reaching out to grab a handful of dried fish: "Come here, bring the bag, I'll grab some for you."

After thinking about it, the shrimp was also caught. But much less than dried fish.

Back and forth, the courier was delivered by others. This time, Lao Qi didn't search for it, and went home with the bag.

Halfway on the way, I couldn't help but touch the dried small fish and eat it directly——

Oh my god!

Why is this dried fish so delicious!

...

The shop owner also said: "Why is this fish so delicious!"

At the same time, he went to the shelf to search: "Where's the sauerkraut that came in? I remember it..."

Pickled sauerkraut, that green vegetable, they don’t grow well here, so the boss buys a big jar every time, and whoever buys it weighs a catty and a half catty... At this moment, after struggling for a long time, I finally tossed out the plastic jar and shouted: "Orchid Let's stew pickled fish for lunch!"

While happily entering the room: "Linzi just sent it back, and Lao Qi grabbed a handful - it's very delicious!"

Farmers work, although their hands are rough, they are thick!

That grasping really doesn't involve skill, but it's quite a lot.

The daughter-in-law was also quite pleasantly surprised: "Fish! Alas, Linzi is a good student in college, and he eats everything delicious."

Look at the prawns again, I couldn’t resist picking one up, the shell is so crispy, and the prawn meat is so fresh...

Ouch! Ouch!

She felt distressed instantly, and took all the fish and shrimp in the bag:

"We'll have it when our kids come back on Friday night!"

boss:……

It's only Monday!

He discussed with his daughter-in-law: "Look at what you searched for. It's not convenient for us to buy fish and shrimp, and it's not that we can't afford it--in this way, you will cook them at noon, and I will ask Linzi later, see Where did he buy it, and give us a few more catties!"

In fact, I still feel distressed. After all, I am still in this village, and even if I have money, it is 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 daughter-in-law was still holding half of the crispy fish tail, and she was struggling for a long time at this moment: "That's okay, then I will do it all?"

"Do it, do it!"

The boss waved his hand: "I'll call later and buy a few more catties!"

It's getting late day by day...but still keep the bottom line during the day!

Try to be early tomorrow!
