Chapter 125

Dad seems to be getting older, besides his face, his back is also very bent.

When Qu Sa and Qu Ershun arrived home, he was nestling in front of the stove and burning a fire. There were a lot of things cooking in the pot, such as tender corn, freshly unearthed peanuts, and fresh edamame. The pot was full.

Two daughters suddenly appeared in front of him, one of them was Qu Sa, the old man was both surprised and happy, his face wrinkled with a smile, watching Qu Ershun bursting with sadness.Even Qu Sa, who didn't like him very much, felt distressed after seeing him, "Is this what you want to eat at noon?"

"Well, I don't eat much by myself, and besides, these things just came out, they are fresh... I was thinking about whether I should send some to you guys yesterday..." The old man stumbled and was kicked out by Qu Ershun before he could finish his sentence In the kitchen, half an hour later, with the help of Qu Sa, the quick-moving second sister made half a pot of fried noodles, and the cooked fresh corn and peanuts were also cooled and ready to eat.

Three people have dinner.

Qu Anguo ate the Sanhai bowl of noodles alone, and Qu Ershun was speechless, so how much did he eat?Sure enough, what her fourth grandma said was right, her father is just messing around by himself now, he can cook one meal less and never cook more, and he will never get into trouble if he can cook simple ones.

If it goes on like this, when will it be the boss?If things go on like this, the body designation goes wrong.

So, after eating three bowls of noodles in Qu Anguo and putting down his chopsticks to reach for the boiled corn, Qu Ershun began to give a long lecture, most of what he said was to let his father cook well and take good care of himself, in case he would not listen, She also listed many disadvantages of irregular diet, and finally said that if he is not well, it is very likely that they will go to the hospital after him. At that time, not only will they not be able to do business, but they will come back to serve him, and he himself will suffer.

When Qu Ershun said these words, Qu Anguo kept his head down, picked out the corn kernels and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, the movements were very mechanical.

After Qu Ershun finished speaking, Qu Anguo continued in a low voice: "I, I will be careful in the future, I won't eat casually. You, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, I promise not to get sick, and I won't implicate you."

What I said was very wronged, Qu Ershun blinked angrily and said: "Look at what you said, we are your daughter, and it is only natural for a daughter to serve your father. If you say something that will hurt you or not, I said that to make you vigilant, as the saying goes Don’t get sick if you have anything, don’t have money if you don’t have anything, that’s all.”

Qu Anguo nodded, explaining clearly.

Only then did Qu Ershun take out the living expenses of the past two months and hand them to his father, but Qu Anguo saw that he would not accept them, and said that he had money in his hand.Later, he was afraid that Qu Ershun would not believe it, so he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and showed them to his two daughters, "The one who sells baskets, the one who digs ditches, and the money for laying bricks..."

Qu Ershun is fine, but Qu Sa, who has lived for two lifetimes, can't hear the word "brick" the most, so he raised his head suddenly, looked at his father and shouted, "Are you going to work in the brick factory? Who told you to go?"

Uh, Qu Ershun didn't understand where the little girl was getting angry, so he tugged at her arm to show her to pay attention to her image.

Qu Sa was so flustered that he didn't pay attention to his words and deeds. He continued to shout: "How many days have you been working? Do you still want to go now?"

Qu Anguo was already afraid of Qu Sa from the bottom of his heart, but now he was being yelled at even more submissively, especially since he didn't understand where his little daughter's anger came from, so he stammered: "No, no more... Anyway, I only did more than ten jobs in total. God, it’s not burning bricks in the brick factory, but just helping to pull the bricks, sending them to the construction site, and to the house builders.”

Hearing these words, Qu Sa breathed a sigh of relief, she was extremely glad that she came back today, her father helped people pull bricks yesterday, and tomorrow she might go into a brick kiln to burn bricks, she couldn't let this happen, so her tone softened a little She said, "That won't work either!"

Qu Ershun stared, why?The work of pulling bricks is much easier than digging ditches. Dad usually has nothing to do. Seeing that the autumn harvest is still more than 20 days away, what happened to him doing some casual work to pass the time?
"A carload of bricks is so heavy, you can't stand up after a few trips." Besides, you are always a hunchback now, and if you continue to work like this, you may become more camels than camels in the future.

"It's not me pulling it, it's a donkey cart... rented, rented donkey cart..." The old man hurriedly explained, he didn't even care about eating.

"That won't work either!" Qu Sa directly denied, "You have to pay someone to rent a car, how much can you get in one trip? Although donkeys work on the road, loading and unloading is always your job, right? Look at you That hand, with a scar and a print, how rough it is... The family is not short of your money, our business is good and we get a lot of dividends, and your living expenses have also increased, so it's better to enjoy the happiness at home!"

"Little sister is right." Qu Ershun followed suit, "I said long ago that if you can stop doing physical work, you should stop doing it. When the farming season is busy, you can go to the field for a while, and when you are not busy, you can go out for a stroll and watch other people play cards. If you touch mahjong, you can do anything."

"Hey, I don't know how to play cards, why do I go there, no, no..." The old man waved his hands firmly, "You don't know, Wang Mazi from our village lost more than 200 cards in a poker game yesterday, and his wife Lianhua Zhenghe He's making trouble."

Wang Mazi?Didn't he grind sesame oil in the town?

"Stop grinding, it's been a few days, his wife Lianhua urged him to open some supermarket, but the supermarket failed, and the sesame oil couldn't be grinded either. Wang Mazi wandered around the card games at the entrance of the village every day when he had nothing to do. I won’t go to that place if it’s less money.”

When the old man told about Wang Mazi and Cai Lianhua's deeds, he still did not forget to express that he was very good.

The two sisters nodded, and the father was honest, they had always known this.

After chatting about other people's daily routines for a while, Qu Sa brought the topic back to Qu Anguo, "If you are in a panic at home, you can go to the county with us. Anyway, there is a place to live. Although the business is not busy now, I am watching the students. When school starts, you will get busy soon. You can’t cook, but you can light a fire, and you can also help the eldest sister look after the children. As for this family, you can come back and take a look if you want to come back. It’s okay if you don’t want to come back, anyway, there is no one else but you.”

Qu Ershun was surprised, the younger sister never mentioned this matter before, but after thinking about it carefully, what the younger sister said made sense, and she also agreed.

Unexpectedly, Qu Anguo shook his head repeatedly and refused to go, so Qu Sa told him that if he didn't go, he should stay at home honestly, and he was not allowed to do casual labor, let alone work in the brick factory.

Qu Anguo agreed without any hesitation, and said that the work of pulling bricks would have ended long ago. He was really tired and hoped to rest at home before the autumn harvest.After repeated assurances, Qu Sa was relieved.

In the afternoon, when the two sisters left, they forcibly left the living expenses. The old man was very helpless and had no choice but to put them away.

On the way, Qu Ershun lamented that his father had changed a lot. Not only was he older than last time, but he also seemed to be more obedient than before.

Qu Sa was silent about this.

"Er Shun! You guys, let's go now?"

The preoccupied two sisters hadn't left the village when they met someone suddenly.
