Chapter 45

It's still the same as usual, no one else needs to worry about it, but grandpa, grandma, Xiang Jin and the others still left dinner for them to eat before going back.

Although there were still some steamed buns and steamed buns left at noon, there were only a dozen or so in total, which would definitely not be enough for seven or eight people, so Xiang Jin still made noodles for dinner that day.

After dinner, Xiang Jin found a clean bag and packed all the buns and steamed buns, and then stuffed them into grandpa, grandma, and the others, and asked them to take them home for their cousins ​​and younger cousins ​​to eat. .

I learned from Xiang Nan before that her uncle and second uncle had two children, and they were both boys.

The older one of her uncle is 15 years old, and like herself, she is in the second grade of middle school in the rural primary school, said to be in class one, and the younger one is 11 years old, also studying in the rural primary school, in the fifth grade of primary school, and she The second uncle's two children are the same age as Xiang Nan and the other is seven years old. They both study in the village primary school.

Her grandmother refused, "Oh, what do you get? You can keep it for yourselves!"

Xiang Jin said, "Grandma, I didn't get this for you, I got it for my cousin and a few younger cousins.

You and grandpa, as well as two uncles and aunts, have always taken turns to come to work here every day, and the family probably doesn't even have time to catch up.

If you bring a few steamed buns home, treat them as snacks for my little cousins. "

Her grandmother said, "Well, they are all so big, why do you want to bring snacks?"

Yang Juyun said, "How old is it? Aren't they all the same size as Xiang Jin and the other two sisters? Are they still children?"

Xiang Jin chimed in, "That's right, grandma, even if the buns and steamed buns are left behind, we won't be able to eat them right now. If we save them until tomorrow morning, there will be so many people tomorrow morning, even a dozen or so, it won't be enough." Huh? So, we still have to make another meal."

"If you get something else, just get another one, and then make less." Grandma was very stubborn, but she refused to take it anyway.

Xiang Jin was a little dumbfounded, because of her grandma's polite attitude, she was about to continue persuading her, when her grandfather, who had never liked to talk, suddenly said, "Oh, listen to the child!" Yes, just take it, don't you look at what time it is now, why delay?"

And Xiang Jin's uncle and second aunt were also waiting anxiously.

Grandma Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, looked at the darkened sky outside, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's fine, then I'll take it," and then took the bag from Xiang Jin's hand. I took it over.

Xiang Jin explained to her, "Grandma, warm them up before eating when I go back. I hung myself in the well to cool down in the afternoon."

"Okay, got it!"

Grandma and the others were just about to leave, but Aunt Liao came in from the courtyard with a small basket on her shoulders, "Oh, it's a good thing you haven't left yet!" She put the small basket down, and came out with two watermelons in her arms. Pass it to Xiang Jin and her grandmother.

"Auntie, I picked two watermelons for you, and you take them back with you."

Naturally, Xiang Jin's grandmother refused politely again, "Oh, why don't you keep it for yourself, or sell it on the street for money, and give it to us? Don't take it, don't take it, huh? Auntie has taken your wish!"

Aunt Liao insisted on stuffing it into her arms, "Auntie, don't be polite to me, I have some left in my field, and besides, the ones sold on the watermelon street are not expensive, only ten cents or two more." For a dime a catty, a watermelon can only be sold for more than one yuan or two yuan at most, so far away, so heavy, and the law of heaven is so poisonous, I don’t even bother to carry it on the street.”

Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "That's right. Carrying a watermelon on your back weighs dozens or even hundreds of catties. Even if you carry it to Zaoerya, which is the closest to your place, the weather would be unbearable."

"That's right!" Aunt Liao also nodded, and then sighed, "Now I simply have my own things to do, so I don't need to meddle.

There are three pigs in my family, and a dozen or so chickens and ducks laying eggs. I have nothing to do with my body. Occasionally, the children will send me some money, which is usually enough for pocket expenses. That's it, so I don't bother to sell those ones. "

Xiang Jin's grandmother smiled and nodded, "Yes, the two children in your family are very competitive and capable, so you don't need to worry about it, you, now you just need to put your own Take good care of your body, and just wait for your blessings in the future."

Aunt Liao said modestly, "Hey, there is no hope for happiness, just hope. Don't hold back the children."

Xiang Jin's grandmother was still smiling, "That's true."

Aunt Liao nodded, "So, Auntie, just take these two watermelons, they are not expensive things at all.

There are usually a lot of people during the day, and my family doesn’t grow too many watermelons. There are only a few nests of seedlings, and there are a dozen or twenty of them. There are also a few good neighbors in this bay. I also want to pick one for their family.

Therefore, it is not easy for me to pick it up and eat it with everyone. "

Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "Understood, I can understand, okay, then we will accept it, do you think it will cost you money?!"

Aunt Liao said, "Nothing."

Xiang Nan is very good at winking. When she heard this, she hurried into the house and dragged out a small backpack, and asked her grandmothers to put the two watermelons and the bag of steamed buns into the backpack and carry them. Go back, so as not to be inconvenient to hold in your hands.

Everyone praised Xiang Nan for being careful, and Xiang Nan smiled from ear to ear with a missing tooth.

After sending Xiang Jin and her grandmother's family away, Aunt Liao took out another watermelon from the basket in front of her and asked Xiang Jin and the others to cut it up and eat it. Several families also sent one.

Xiang Jin asked, "Why don't we deliver it for you? It also saves some time."

When Aunt Liao thought that those houses were the ones to talk to, she might really chat with them for a long time when she went. After all, there were three houses, and even if she stayed in each house for a while, it would at least delay her time. half an hour.

If there are three families, she will have to delay for at least an hour and a half. She is a little tired today, and the weather is not hot, so she wants to come back early to take a shower and rest.

So she nodded, "Okay, then you can help me to send two of them, one is to send one to your grandpa's family, and the other is to send one to Liu Ye."

Xiang Jin knew that Master Xiang Liu was the thin 70-[-]-year-old man who helped her mother and Xiang Hai when they divorced and spoke for her mother.

They lived at the east end of the village, which seemed a little far away, so Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then I'll go see Liu Ye and his family."

Xiang Nan wanted to fight with her, "Sister, I'll go, I'll go, I'll deliver to Sixth Master's family, and you to deliver to Grandpa Zeng's family."

"Hehe, what's going on here, has your sex changed?" Xiang Jin looked at her from top to bottom for a moment, and joked, "Aren't you the one who likes to steal and play tricks the most? Why is it time to run away?" on the way?"

On the side, Yang Juyun and Aunt Liao laughed.

Xiang Nan muttered and argued, "Didn't I see that you were tired all day, and I don't appreciate your understanding?"

"Yo, I also thank you for suddenly being sensible!" Xiang Jin continued to tease her.

The little girl snorted and turned her head to the side awkwardly.

Yang Juyun said, "Okay, if you want to go, go early, and then come back early, don't play with Xiang Yao too late, and don't keep thinking about watching the TV at your Sixth Master's house, you can't finish watching the TV , I can’t get enough of it.”

Like Xiang Hai, Xiang Wei of Liu Ye's family is also a bricklayer. He was the only one who went to Shanghai to work together that year, but he had to make more drums than Xiang Hai, and he also took care of his family, so he went to Shanghai In the second year after that, their family bought a [-]-inch black and white Panda TV.

It is one of the few houses in their bay with a TV, so there are a lot of people who usually visit their house.

"Oh," the little girl replied unconvinced, and then left the house with a watermelon in her arms.

Looking at the little girl's back, Xiang Jin couldn't help but said again, "Is this the little girl's plan? She even said that she was considerate of me, which really moved me in vain."

Aunt Liao and her mother just laughed, and then Yang Juyun urged her to quickly deliver the watermelon to Grandma Mo's house, and then she went to boil water, and when they came back, they would wash their hair and take a bath.

Xiang Jin and Aunt Liao went out.
