Back to the third grade

Chapter 81

After the trip to the water park, Lin Mei darkened two shades.The next day, I went to my grandma's house for dinner. As soon as my grandpa saw her, he put down the newspaper and said with a smile, "Isn't this a black girl?"

When Lin Mei was very thin, grandpa called her a thin girl, but later she became fat, grandpa, she is a fat girl

Lin Mei squatted down and accompanied her grandpa to read the newspaper in the yard for a while, when her grandma called her: "Meimei is here?" Wiping her hands, she came out, "Come in, there's watermelon to eat!"

My aunt went to the rental house.Since my uncle handed over the rental house to her, my aunt has been full of enthusiasm for this "career"!She still cooks for those people there, and it only costs 80 yuan more to include lunch for a month, which is very cheap.My aunt also bought a small tricycle and steamed steamed buns at her own home. Uncle’s wholesale dishes were often not very good, so she got them all through the back door.There are still several big bags of long beans, green peppers and celery piled up in Tao Tao's room.

Lin Mei thinks this is probably the real reason why Tao Tao doesn't want to go home even on vacation...

So today at noon it is grandma who cooks.

Lin Mei was called into the house by her grandmother, turned on the air conditioner, turned on the TV and DVD for her, and showed Tao Tao's DVD for Lin Mei to watch.The chilled watermelon has already been cut, and grandma sprinkled a spoonful of sugar on her for fear that it would not be sweet enough.

Lin Mei saw how many calories there were in the white sugar, and finished eating with a fork. Grandma asked her, "Is it sweet enough? Do you want sugar?"

"Sweet enough! Very sweet!" Lin Mei nodded quickly.

Grandma is very good at cooking. Lin Mei is coming over at noon today. Grandma fried meatballs, fried chicken with green peppers, mixed with celery, and fried pork belly with her own pickled capers.In the afternoon when Lin Mei was leaving, grandma wrapped the fried meatballs for Lin Mei and asked her to bring back two large bags of deadly vegetables.

When I came home at night, Ms. Lin saw it and said, "Since your uncle started doing this, I don't have to buy vegetables anymore." The bundle of celery is worried that I can't finish it, and I can't put it in the refrigerator.

Lin Mei said: "I'll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for making noodles. Let's make noodles." Don't cook too many dishes without water, just eat.

Mother Lin divided the dishes and said, "I'll call your Auntie Cui and ask her to get some. I haven't thanked you for seeing a doctor last time."

When Lin Mei came back from the supermarket, Mother Lin was already on the phone, "It's just...too many, you can take a few back and fry them, they are quite fresh. That's fine, I'll wait for you downstairs later." Mother Lin hung up I got the phone and went out with the bag of vegetables I had divided, "I also left a copy for your Grandma Wang. Last time, your Grandma Wang sent a lot of fresh beef bones to Qiangqiang."

Lin Mei chopped celery at home, then put the meatballs in the microwave, and the dinner was ready for the evening.When Ms. Lin came back, she was sitting in the living room choosing beans. Ms. Lin understood immediately: "Are you going to pickle sour beans?"

"It's delicious at noon, and it can be eaten after 20 days of marinating in this weather." Lin Mei said, the sauerkraut pickled at home is so clean and hygienic, there must be no preservatives.

The next day's breakfast was also ready-made powdered noodles. After being left overnight, the noodles became thicker and the taste corrected.Lin Mei was thinking about what to do today while eating breakfast. After dinner, she walked around the house and found that there was really nothing to do. The clothes had already been washed, the water was cut off and the sheets could not be washed, and the house was cleaned very well.Her habit of cleaning is learned from Mother Lin, and she learned it without a teacher after studying abroad. Before studying abroad, she was also a person who couldn't help the oil bottle when she was at home.

Lin Mei went around several rooms, and wiped the glass and mirror with a newspaper in a bored manner. After wiping, she looked at her watch and it was only ten past nine.

Forget it, let's read a book.

She originally thought that since she came home, she would try to relax as much as possible.On the one hand, she didn't want her mother to be too nervous. On the other hand, she also planned to spend three days playing and the remaining four days studying.Isn't this a combination of work and rest?

It turned out that today was the third day, and she couldn't find anything to play with... On the first day, she went to the water park and met her old classmates.I went to grandma's house the next day.She really couldn't find anything to pass the time today.

Lin Mei turned on the TV, watched a 10-minute episode of Journey to the West, and turned it off with a black face.The other one was playing the 86 version of Journey to the West, even if it looked crude, it was a hundred times better than the later one.

Well, not even the option to watch TV.She "can only" read a book.

Lin Mei sadly admitted that her plan had failed, and then happily went back to the room to take out the textbooks and tutorial books!
I kept seeing Lin Mei getting up to prepare lunch half an hour before Lin's mother got off work.Cutting off the water is really annoying, and I can only cook some simple meals to eat.She decided to steam the noodles at noon today, using a simple method.Beans and braised pork are stewed together. When they are almost cooked and the juice is gone, spread the wet noodles bought evenly on top, cover the pot, and turn it over two or three times in the middle to make the noodles evenly colored and tasty.

As soon as Mama Lin opened the door, she smelled the delicious aroma of braised noodles, "My girl is really capable." As soon as Lin Mei came back, she didn't have to worry about cooking and housework. When the girl went to school, she just had to eat three meals .I told my colleagues that the girl has porridge, steamed buns, and stir-fried vegetables for breakfast at home. When the girl is not at home, she just eats steamed buns dipped in sauce and is said to be "too good at showing off!".Mother Lin thought proudly, she was just showing off.

Coke is just braised noodles. Mama Lin said while eating, "Your uncle called me in the morning and said he has time in the afternoon, and asked if you want to go to the dog factory to see Qiangqiang."

Lin Mei hesitated for a moment, because she just started reading, and she must read less when she goes out in the afternoon.But thinking of Qiangqiang, she still said affirmatively, "I'll go and see Qiangqiang."

"All right, I'll call him later and ask him to pick you up in the afternoon." Mother Lin said.

In the afternoon, my uncle drove over in a small light truck. He called Lin Mei to come down. When Lin Mei received the call, she joked, "Uncle, did you buy a big brother?"

On the phone, my uncle laughed and said, "It's easy to get in touch, it's easy to get in touch."

The pickup truck was dirty, and there was a thick dark green plastic sheet in the back of the truck.There were only two seats in the front seat, and Lin Mei got into the car and said, "Uncle, are you okay this afternoon?" If Uncle had work in the afternoon, it would be embarrassing to come here to accompany her.

"It's okay, it's okay. Oh, let them do your uncle's business. Uncle is just going to collect money, it's okay." The small light truck drove briskly on the road, and soon left the urban area.

The dog factory is in a village outside the suburbs.Boss Sun rented land in a village, and bought the land when he got more money in the past two years.The uncle said: "Your uncle Sun recently saw that I can get money fast by doing this, and wants to close the dog factory and do wholesale with me."

Lin Mei: "Then isn't he stupid? I bought all the land, let's go on."

"He doesn't have much land, less than four or five acres, and it's not on the edge of the national road, and he won't be able to develop it in the future. After saving the land, he quit and can only build villas." Uncle was very proud.At that time, he had no intention of doing business, and indeed he had fallen, and he had seen all kinds of things in the world.But as the old saying goes, gold shines wherever it is.Just start doing it without talking about it?Old Sun was the one who treated him well after he fell, so if he really wanted to change his career, he was willing to help.

After leaving the urban area, the road to the dog factory became more and more familiar to Lin Mei.She looked back, forth, left, and right. It is said that she should have no chance to go to this area. Since she looks familiar, she must have been here.

Lin Mei walked and recalled all the way, until she saw a car repair shop with a red door on the side of the road, she was convinced that she had indeed been there.However, although the garage in her memory still had a red-painted front and a big signboard, it was already rusted and mottled.Now this car repair shop has obviously just opened, and the red-painted signboard is still very bright.

The dog factory is coming soon.There are several rows of red brick houses that look inconspicuous at all, as well as new and tall barbed wire and oversized iron gates.As soon as my uncle's car stopped, the old man who was guarding the door came over. My uncle honked the horn twice, and said to the old man, "Is Sun Er here?"

The uncle recognized it immediately, smiled and went back to press the button to open the door. With a harsh beeping sound, the big iron door slowly slid open to both sides.

Uncle's car rushed into it all at once, causing a lot of barking dogs.

Lin Mei's mind was full of strength when she saw the gate of the dog factory. When her uncle stopped the car, he opened the door to let her go out and said, "Don't run around, some dogs here are free-range."

At this time, several dogs had come over, all of them were native dogs.

The uncle said: "Old Sun eats a lot of dogs here, and the wild dogs in the vicinity love to come here to beg for food. Old Sun said that the dogs come for money and cannot be chased away, so he is half raising them."

The continuous barking of dogs drew people out of the house. A middle-aged man with a seven-month-old belly came out of the house. When he saw his uncle's little light card, he started to laugh and pointed at him: "It's just in time! I'm just in time. Tell them to eat later, wash your feet after dinner, don't leave tonight!" Then I saw Lin Mei, and said, "Is this your niece? Mei... Mei? Come and see the dog right?"

In the previous and present lives, it was the first time for Lin Mei to come to this dog factory, and it was also the first time to see this Uncle Sun.Uncle Sun is very friendly at first glance. Except that Mr. Zhao does not have his belly that looks like he is pregnant in July, the temperament and style of the two are simply too close.

Lin Mei called Uncle Hello, Uncle Sun patted Lin Mei lovingly and said, "Okay, when you come to Uncle, you will be just like your uncle." Turning to a young man, he said, "Go, isn't there some mango they put in the house?" Juice? Go get two cans!"

After a while, Lin Mei was led to see the dog with a can of mango juice in each hand.Uncle Sun said: "Your dog ran out with its litter of brothers and will be back in a while. Uncle will take you to see the newborn puppy!"

Uncle took a can from Lin Mei and asked her to drink it, but he held a can for her and said, "I want to change our dog again!"

Uncle Sun said dejectedly: "I really regret giving you that dog! That litter looks good now!"

There are not one or two litters of puppies, but several litters.There are white and cream-yellow Jingba, squirrel-colored Pomeranian, and the fawn dog that surprised Lin Mei the most!
Lin Mei bent down and looked at the small and exquisite Doberman Pinscher in the dog cage, and said in surprise: "There is such a dog!"

"Hold one if you like it!" Uncle Sun said very cheerfully.

"No, no, no, there is already a dog at home." Lin Mei waved her hand quickly.Although the fawn has not become popular, it is also a pretty good dog.And unlike Qiangqiang, Qiangqiang is the watchdog raised by the dog factory itself.These are all other people's commodities, so you can't take advantage of them.

Uncle Sun told Uncle over there that he wanted to import more types of dogs, but there were still few dogs in his dog factory. "Moreover, many people now raise them at home by themselves. One male and one female pick two to go home and raise them for themselves to sell. There are almost no one here to get dogs."

Lin Meicheng interjected, "Then uncle can try to say that he only sells purebred dogs here, and the dogs are all neutered and cannot be bred."

Uncle Sun laughed and said, "No, I don't want dogs that can't be born."

The uncle said: "Don't talk about it, I think what my family Meimei said is quite reasonable. It's like you selling Tibetan mastiffs. They say they are pure. They sell them for [-], and you sell them for [-]. Only the expensive ones are worth it! Go out and don't let them live!"

Uncle Sun shook his head after thinking for a while and said, "I just want to make quick money here, and there are still very few people who can buy Tibetan mastiffs." One time is enough to feed for three years, but the daily consumption of the dog factory is stored here, so he just wants to be idle, and it is not bad to get some other dogs to sell.

"I have invested a lot here. I even hired two veterinarians who graduated from the Agricultural University. Every day, I eat, drink, nourish, disinfect, and hire people. It's all money." So now Uncle Sun sees Tao Dajiang doing what he says. Do it, making money is as easy as drinking water, and he is especially unhappy.So he can't accept it. When he met Tao Dajiang, he went all over the world. Although he fell into the stock market and lost all his money, his net worth of millions was gone all at once. The millions at that time were terrible.As a result, the money still comes so quickly when people stand up now.

Uncle smiled and gave Uncle Sun a cigarette, patted his chest and said, "You earn a lot."

"It can't be compared with you." Uncle Sun shook his head, remembering to ask, "By the way, did you pay back the money you borrowed from Second Uncle? If you earn money, pay it back quickly. You can't delay this."

When the uncle saw Lin Mei, he gently pulled Uncle Sun, and the two stood away from each other to talk.

Lin Mei felt embarrassed and pretended not to hear.She knew that uncle must have borrowed usury this time. Where did he get the capital if he didn't borrow money?Last time she remembered that when she came back from studying abroad, she heard that her uncle had borrowed nearly 400 million yuan, and she wanted to borrow it from others and refused to give it to him.My aunt had a heart attack and was almost scared out of him.However, his family did not know about the loan, and his family still did not know about the repayment.So no matter how much he borrowed this time, it is estimated that he can pay it back.

She walked back and forth in front of these rows of dog cages, not reaching out to touch the dogs.One is that the bitch is a bit fierce when she just gives birth, and the other is that the breeder told her very seriously before she came in that she should not touch the dog when she came in from the outside, as the dog would not get sick easily.

This maternity room is not only air-conditioned, but the floor is full of the smell of disinfectant, which shows how serious the epidemic prevention and disinfection are.They came in with shoe covers on.

When Uncle and Uncle Sun talked about it, they went outside to smoke.She looked bored for a long time and went out. As soon as she left the house, she heard a familiar dog barking in the distance.

Lin Mei immediately followed the voice out of the yard and said, "It's Qiangqiang!"

Uncle was whispering to Uncle Sun and stretched out his ears, "Really?"

Uncle Sun was used to hearing dogs barking and said, "It should be, it's our factory's treasure hunter!"

Qiangqiang's barking was high-pitched, bright, joyful and somewhat eager, mixed with the barking of several other dogs.

Lin Mei went out, and the two young men from the dog factory followed her, fearing that it was a stray dog ​​that would come and bite the little girl again.

"Qiangqiang!" Lin Mei yelled twice, and when she heard Qiangqiang's yell, she became more anxious, with a hint of grievance.When she walked out of this row of kennels, she saw Qiang Qiang running in the wild in the distance.

When Qiangqiang saw her, he quickened his pace and rushed here.The two young men hurried to get the long bamboo pole in a panic, and pulled her back.As a result, when they pulled her, Qiangqiang's cry became fiercer.

Uncle Sun hurried out when he heard it, "Why does the sound sound wrong?" The two people who saw him blocked Lin Mei and said, "Let her go and stand away. I'll just say... You two are standing so close with sticks! No wonder the dog is so fierce!"

But the two of them didn't dare to really get out of the way, after all, the dog looked fierce.

Qiangqiang rushed over after speaking, Lin Mei rushed forward and looked at Qiangqiang pointing at it and shouted loudly: "Stop!! Sit down!!"

Qiangqiang stopped with a groan, wanted to listen to the order to sit down, but was worried about his master, bared his teeth and groaned in a low voice, and walked this way from the side against the wall.

Uncle Sun admired: "This is planning to attack." Then he said to the two men, "Put down the pole and stay away from this little girl." Here it is.

Lin Mei quickly knelt down and hugged it.

Qiang Qiang flicked his tail wildly, whining to please and feel wronged by his master, and at the same time bared his teeth at the two men who were holding the bamboo poles just now, he was extremely busy.

"Okay, okay." Uncle Sun looked at Qiangqiang and really liked it. He didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "This dog recognizes the master." If the dog did not recognize the master, the family looked like it. He likes dogs, and he really wants to get the dog back.

After having a good time with Qiangqiang, Lin Mei was reluctant to leave.Qiangqiang was not willing to part with it, screaming like crying, his eyes were wet.Lin Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Take it back. I will apply for a dog certificate tomorrow!"

Uncle Sun laughed and said, "No need. You can take it home, it's fine. I heard the news that there will be no more dog searches this year."

Lin Mei was pleasantly surprised: "Don't check?"

"I won't investigate anymore." The news about the dog factory should be more clear, and they are also the key inspection targets.

When going back, Lin Mei deliberately accompanied Qiang Qiang to sit in the back of the car.

On the way back from here, Lin Mei suddenly remembered when she saw the roadside scenery flashing back on both sides!

When she came back from studying abroad, she planned to buy a house!This is a newly developed community!She came to see the room!

When getting off the car, Lin Mei hesitated and asked her uncle if he was interested in buying a few acres of land at the dog factory.

Uncle never thought about it, "Meimei wants to build a house over there, right? It's cheap to build a house over there, and a small two-story villa can be built quite beautifully for only [-] yuan!"

Lin Mei would die of envy when she heard this price!Helpless, the family savings is only [-]...

She said: "I just want that area to be close to the urban area. Now that housing prices are rising, the land in the urban area will be built in the future. I must find land to build houses outside, such as those development companies."

There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, and my uncle understood it immediately.Lin Mei's words sound more than justified, they are absolutely certain!
Uncle stood there thinking for a long time, recalling that Sun Er told him how much is one mu of land over there?It was [-] years when he contracted it?If you want to buy it, you can find the secretary and head of the village in their village, and it is not too expensive...

He said to Lin Mei: "Meimei, what will you do with uncle after graduation?"

"Huh?" Lin Mei looked at him blankly.

"No, you should go to study abroad." The uncle said, "You go to study abroad, and uncle will pay for it!"

"Ah?!" Lin Mei looked at her uncle even more blankly, no, uncle, have you discussed it with your aunt...
