Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

The mother and daughter exchanged roles and quickly eliminated the awkwardness of their first meeting.

"You can pick fresh vegetables in the greenhouse. No pesticides have been used, so you can eat them with confidence." Leng Yanqiu said naturally, "I'll tell you the password, and you can pick them yourself."

In the end, we went together.

Ding Guihua, who entered the greenhouse, couldn't help looking at it: "Are you really in charge of all this by yourself?"

Leng Yanqiu: "Well, there is a partner in the city. The couple likes farming and often comes here to enjoy it."

Ding Guihua's eyes followed Zha Zha again. She had never seen such a handsome white-feathered black chicken. The two big roosters behind it looked rustic, not to mention the ordinary hens in the third echelon.

The free-range hens in the greenhouse are still laying eggs. In addition to a large iron stove with pipes that release heat, there is also a light that is always on, keeping the greenhouse bright and warm.

Leng Yanqiu's daily tasks also include rolling up and lowering the straw curtains to maintain the temperature in the greenhouse. Ding Guihua follows her daughter closely, trying to learn every process.

Leng Yanqiu moved very quickly, as if all the work was easy, and it was indeed easy.

Ding Guihua quietly wiped her eyes several times. She felt sorry for her daughter who had to support a family at this age and started her own business to build a vegetable greenhouse. Now everything seemed to be on the right track, and she didn't know how much effort she had put in and how much grievance she had endured behind the scenes.

She originally just wanted to meet her daughter secretly and watch her from afar.

But her daughter had left the school early, and she was alone. She greeted the guards with a smile and walked slowly on her tricycle. Ding Guihua couldn't control herself and rushed out.

In the scenario she imagined, her daughter disowned her, scolded her for giving birth to a child but not raising it, scolded her for being incompetent, and abandoned her to live a miserable life.

But no, nothing happened at all. It was like my daughter had met an old friend, and the time that had separated them by nearly ten years had been crossed in one step.

No matter what the response from the other end of the phone was, Ding Guihua didn't plan to turn on her phone again tonight. Her daughter asked her to stay, so she stayed, just for one night.

Because this night was different.

Steam is rising, the meat slices and mushrooms are tumbling in the rice cooker, the temperature in the house is rising, and the aroma of meat is filling the air.

Ding Guihua unzipped her down jacket and took out a plastic bag folded into a long strip from the left inner pocket.

The heat made her face red and her eyes moist. A smile broke out on her face. There was something almost proud in her smile, which was very inconsistent with her image.

"It's a birthday present for you," she said. "Children in big cities celebrate their birthdays with cakes and singing, but I'm not easy to take care of."

It was beyond Leng Yanqiu's expectation.

For a moment, Leng Yanqiu was a little confused. Was her birthday actually today? She had never paid attention to the date of birth on her ID card or household registration book. The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month? Why did she have no memory of it?

Well none of that matters.

The look of the woman opposite her was filled with anticipation and excitement, so she had to pretend to be patient.

Leng Yanqiu tore open one end of the plastic bag, and the long strip unfolded, revealing a paper passbook folded in half horizontally.

Open it, one page, two pages, three pages, many lines of small words, the deposit dates are trivial, the deposit amounts are very small, there are times when you deposit a hundred dollars, and sometimes just over a thousand.

The third page had the most recent figures, a huge deposit of eighteen hundred dollars.

This is also a time deposit book. The total amount of deposits densely packed on the three pages is more than 34,000. I wonder if the bank staff will get angry when operating frequently.

Leng Yanqiu raised his eyes.

This passbook should be Ding Guihua's proudest work in her life.

"Xiao Qiu, you have been smart since you were young. Mom, I know you will definitely go to a good school and get into college. I have to save money for your tuition! I have inquired about it. College takes several years and the tuition is not small. I have to save money early. Originally, I calculated that by the time you graduate from high school and go to college, 60,000 or 70,000 yuan will be no problem. It is not impossible to save 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. I will give it to you at that time. But when I came back for the New Year this time, I heard that you moved out by yourself. Here, the password is... When you save it, you have to use your name, and you have to bring your household registration booklet and ID card to process it. At that time, we agreed that as long as you are willing to study and can pass the exam, your grandparents will support you to go to elementary school, junior high school and high school. I know you will definitely pass the exam."

Leng Yanqiu suddenly turned around and walked out: "Hey, why do I hear some noise in the greenhouse? You eat first--"

The meat slices floated up and down in the boiling soup, and a few thin slices of mushrooms were faintly visible. I was so greedy that I nudged my head against Ding Guihua's calf, again and again.

The arch made people sweat like rain.

When Leng Yanqiu came into the house again, she was smiling like a flower, holding a handful of fresh oil wheat in her hand, which was only about one foot tall and was at its tenderest.

"Eating more vegetables at night won't make you gain weight, so eat more."

"You eat too. It's okay to eat more. Just follow me. You won't get fat no matter how much you eat."

Ding Guihua, who finally took off her down jacket, really didn't gain weight. The sweater she was wearing did not need to be replaced for many years. The cuffs, elbows and armpits were all sewn with pieces of cloth of the same color, which looked like the ripped beggar style that young people liked most. It was said that it was very cool.

Leng Yanqiu lowered his eyes and asked lightly, "Are you getting along well with your family now?"

Ding Guihua: "Yeah, okay."

She subconsciously touched her legs, then quickly withdrew her hand.

"I heard that you ranked first in your grade?" Ding Guihua's eyes sparkled. "Don't worry about the money. You can spend all this until you graduate from high school, right? I'll earn money for you to go to college. It's easy to make money in a big city. Just focus on studying."

"I have money."

"I know, I heard that you have compensation money, buy a house, you did the right thing. Also, don't feel bad, Leng Zhiqiang's leg is broken, you beat him well, well beaten, in the future, as long as you can beat him, you don't have to worry about who it is, just think of it as you fighting for me. If you have to go to jail, I will go for you..."

Ding Guihua kept on talking, as if the floodgates had been opened after a long drought and the water was unstoppable.

No wine.

Drunk as a dog.

The bedding that was prepared for pregnant wife Wang to lie on occasionally still smelled of sunshine. It was probably because Brother Wang had just dried it in the sun.

The house was clean, too. All she had to do was bring in an electric heater. The water dispenser of the same model was always powered, so Ding Guihua could drink warm water at any time.

That night, Leng Yanqiu felt uneasy and could only lie down to sleep, but he still did not sleep well.

Her ears were so sharp that she could clearly identify the sound of the greenhouse's combination lock being opened, and someone was walking around inside, working, and muttering to Zhazhaji.

"Are you really going to listen to me? Then you have to lay more eggs for my daughter to eat..."

Zhen Ao, who was sleeping in the room with his master, walked to the door silently, then walked back and continued to lie down to meet Zhou Gong.
