Chapter 26 – These Two **** Are Here Again
Chapter 26 These two **** are here again
Under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, there is already a small row of villagers queuing.
Master Dong sat on a small bamboo chair, took a ledger, knocked on the calculator, wrote down all the amount to be paid, and began to roll the roll and pay.
The most exciting moment has come.
Qi Qi clenched her fist with her little hand and stomped her feet in excitement.
Song Yueliang and Dong Wangshu arrived in Detaoxi Village, and happened to see this scene.
The little baby was squeezed together with a few radish heads, his little face was flushed with excitement, and he grinned, showing his cute teeth.
“So many people? Master Dong seems to be handing out money.” On the co-pilot, Dong Wangshu reached out to open the door and get out of the car, wanting to join in the fun, “We came just in time.”
Song Yueliang held down her movements, “Wait a minute, wait until the work over there is over before going down.”
“It’s already here, why wait?” Dong Wangshu didn’t understand, so he followed Song Yueliang’s line of sight and saw the little girl stomping her little feet, “…”
The last time we met was at our wholesale market. At that time, Qiqi gave Dong Wangshu the impression that she was timid and soft, like a mimosa.
I didn’t expect to meet again, and I would see such a playful side of the little baby, her eyes were so bright that there were RMB symbols popping out.
“Little money fan, this is it.” She laughed and teased.
Song Yueliang didn’t speak, her eyes kept on the little girl.
Huicheng is not far from Hagilu Town, and it takes more than an hour to drive by myself.
But it took Song Yueliang another full hour to travel from the town to Taoxi Village.
The mountain road into the village is not easy to walk, and because I am not familiar with the terrain, I even took the wrong road.
The exhaustion brought about by the bumpy journey all the way disappeared strangely the moment he saw the little doll.
The truck team at the village entrance blocked their view, and everyone’s attention was elsewhere, so no one noticed that there was an extra car beside the truck team.
Master Dong has finished calculating the first batch of account books and money. He looked up at the increasingly long line in front of him, and finally glanced at Xiao Qiqi and the others, and said, “Come on, send money!”
“Zhang Xifeng, the sweet potato is 7123 catties, and the payment is 213 yuan and 70 cents!”
Zhang Xifeng was in the first place in the line, and when he heard the amount of the payment, he was so excited that he was a little dull.
When Master Dong put the counted money into her hands, her hands were still shaking.
“Grandma, we earned more than two hundred yuan!” Nestled against a heat source by her feet, the little baby hugged her leg, her eyes bent into crescent moons, “It’s a lot!”
Zhang Xifeng led the baby to the side, knelt down and hugged the baby tightly in his arms, and then said tremblingly, “Yes, a lot, much more than before.”
The weather is hot, and it’s uncomfortable to be hugged, but Qiqi doesn’t struggle, wrapping her little arms around the old woman’s neck, smiling shyly.
Mother-in-law is very happy, so Qiqi is even happier.
The payment over there is still going on.
“Li Shuigen, 9,960 catties of sweet potatoes, 4,008 watermelons, the settlement is 2,302 yuan and 80 cents!”
“Li Dongsheng, 10,090 catties of sweet potatoes, 3,976 watermelons, the settlement is 2,283 yuan and 80 cents!”
“Chen Jianhe… made a payment of 2,657 yuan and 30 cents!”
…
Except for Zhang Xifeng’s family, almost all the households in the village who grow a lot of watermelon have settled more than 2,000 yuan.
This time there was no cheering at the scene. The person whose name was called to take the money went to the side of the road and squatted silently after receiving the money. No one left immediately, and no one spoke.
Many people look at a thick stack of banknotes in their hands, ranging from a hundred denominations to a few cents, holding the heavy weight in their hands.
This is the light that the people of Taoxi Village, who are almost crushed by life, have survived year after year, at the end of the gloom.
Many people cried, silently, tears fell drop by drop on the banknotes.
After decades of bending their waists, in order to support their families, they humbled themselves into the dust. Until today, they finally straightened their waists and gasped for breath.
There is hope.
After crying, those faces that were still stained with tears burst into dazzling smiles again.
Smiling loudly, so carefree and heroic that it dims the sun.
Zhang Xifeng still holds Qiqi in his arms, his wrinkled face rests on the baby’s small shoulders, his eyes are red, but there are deep smile creases at the end of his eyes.
Now, they are really alive.
“Mother-in-law, next year I will help you plant watermelons, so that mother-in-law can earn more and more money, and also earn two thousand yuan.” Her shoulders were wet, and Qi Qi thought that her mother-in-law was sad and earned less than other families, so she comforted clumsily, ” Mother-in-law, don’t be sad.”
Zhang Xifeng straightened up, put some distance away from the baby, laughed and cried, “Silly baby, mother-in-law is not sad. Although the other family earns more, the other family has a large population. There are only two people in our family, so the money we earn is not counted.” Less, and you forgot, there are still two pigs in the family that have not been sold, and those are the big heads of our family.”
Qiqi thought for a while, “Then next year our family will raise two more pigs, and I will help my mother-in-law raise them!”
She is very good at mowing pigweed, and it is no problem to raise a few more pigs.
Now that her mother-in-law wants to support her, she must spend more money than before. She has to help her mother-in-law earn money.
…
The goods of dozens of households in a village are huge, and they will not be able to receive them all in a short while.
After the villagers calmed down a little, they spontaneously helped to pack the registered sweet potatoes and watermelons into boxes and trucks. Finally, the employees in the wholesale market could take a break and take a breather.
Qiqi found a job for herself again, took Huazi, Goudan and other children in the village, and ran all over the field to deliver water and food to the employees and uncles, like a little bee that couldn’t stop.
Among the group of children, she is the youngest, the most shy, but the most agile in doing things.
There was constant talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
Song Yueliang had never liked to be noisy, but at this moment, she had a feeling of wanting to blend in.
Sitting here seems too deserted.
“Get out of the car.” She said, reaching out her hand to open the car door, when a motorcycle sped up from behind and whizzed by.
Dong Wangshu was taken aback and almost went abroad to scold him.
Fortunately, the door has not been opened, otherwise there would be an accident.
Song Yueliang frowned and looked up.
Over there, the laughter stopped suddenly because the motorcycle broke into it.
When Qiqi saw the person coming, his face changed even more, as if he was facing a big enemy.
Goudan stared at the two on the motorcycle and gritted his teeth, “These two **** are here again!”
Huazi also said angrily, “The watermelon in our village was almost smashed last night, and they did it! It must be a bad thing to come here now!”
The two boys looked at each other, then walked away quietly, and picked up Xiao Qiqi when they left.
“What are you doing here?” The old village head had already stepped out, glaring at Wang Jianzhong’s uncle and nephew.
The villagers of Taoxi Village also approached the old village head one after another, all vigilant.
The motorcycle stopped in front of the truck, and Wang Jianzhong got out of the car, pretending not to see the hostility in the eyes of the people in Taoxi Village, and stepped forward with a haha, “Brother Li, everyone, don’t be nervous, I’m just here to say hello to acquaintances .”
