   Chapter 577 577. 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 mountain area is full of loess, and it is very empty. Although the distance between the two families is far, 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, kowtow to his son's grave, and in the future he can be dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, so there won't be no descendants."

   "That's right, Lin Zi is filial and has a heart." 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 the words fell, I heard the daughter-in-law next to me sneer: "No matter how far Linzi travels, he will pay Lao Qi a thousand dollars a month, and send special products every time he goes back to a new place..."

   "You're 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..."

  …

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

   "What is this sending?"

  The boss laughed: "How do I know that! The Fengfeng express delivery is too far away, 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 only deliver the package to me."

  Old 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 time. And then to the postal—

  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 goes to buy some tofu and so on the next day, and they can bring them back, which is convenient.

  Old Qi is still babbling: "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 store owner laughed at him: "Didn't you say that the one you picked up couldn't support a family, and you had to ask him to stay with you? If it wasn't for that college student who was a teaching assistant who came to scold you, you wouldn't have done it!"

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

   "Besides, what's the use of staying with me? If you learn how to farm, what can we grow in this area? Why not 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 sent them food and food. Lao Qi complained, but he was not unsightly in his heart.

  It is inevitable that I want to show off.

   It's not—

   "You said the straw mat that 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, the bamboo strips on the side are warped, and the middle can sleep.

  The shopkeeper couldn't see him like this, and laughed and scolded: "I think the straw mat is much better than the one on the market. I'm afraid it won't be 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 shop owner thought:

   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.

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

  Old Qi just opened the package, and a unique fresh fragrance of fish and shrimp came to 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 really good!"

  The owner of the commissary took two strong sniffs.

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

   After thinking about it, I also caught a handful of shrimp. But much less than dried fish.

  The courier was delivered by someone else. This time, Lao Qi didn't search for it, and went home with the bag.

   Halfway on the way, I couldn’t help touching the dried fish and eating 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 is the sauerkraut? I remember it..."

Pickled sauerkraut and green vegetables, 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 a long time of struggling, I finally tossed out the plastic jar and shouted: "Orchid, Stew a fish with pickled cabbage for lunch!"

   Going into the house happily: "Linzi just sent it back, and Lao Qi grabbed a handful of it—it's so delicious!"

   Farmers work with rough but thick hands!

   That grab really doesn't contain skill, but it's quite a lot.

  The daughter-in-law was also very 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, the prawns are so fresh...

   Ouch! Ouch!

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

   "We will eat when our child comes 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 because we can't afford it. In this way, you cook them all at noon. I'll ask Linzi later and see him. Where did you buy it, and give us a few more catties!"

   In fact, I still feel distressed. After all, I am still in this village, even if I have money, my money is limited, and 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 in her hand, and she struggled for a long time at this moment: "That's okay, then I made it all?"

   "Do it, do it!"

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

   It's getting later every day...but I still keep the bottom line during the day!

   Try to go early tomorrow!
