Zhao Qingsong went to find Zhao Qingliu, who had three children at home. Zhao Qingliu thought it would be troublesome to go to the capital, so he did not go.
Hehua is fifteen years old and is in junior high school. Although she has rarely seen Li Rong in recent years, she has a very deep impression of Li Rong.
She called her second uncle: "Second aunt and the others are all in the city?"
"Yes, my second aunt asked you to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Do you want to go?"
Hehua heard her parents' rejection just now, and now she slowly shook her head.
Zhao Qingsong rubbed her head, took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and gave one to each of Hehua, Tiezhu and Tiedan: "Uncle will send you red envelopes in advance."
Zhao Qingliu couldn't stop him, so he went back to the house and wrapped one for himself, saying that he was giving it to An An, and replied to Zhao Qingsong with a serious face: "This is for my nephew, you can't refuse it for him."
After talking about these family matters, Li Dahai had something to say to Zhao Qingsong.
Since they separated a few years ago, thanks to the efforts of Li Dahai and Zhao Qingliu, life has gotten better and better. The family also raised several chickens and two pigs.
The pigs were bought through the help of Zhao Qingsong. The pig farm buys a large amount of piglets, the price is cheaper than outside, and the quality is better.
Keeping two pigs at home is relatively rare in this era.
Most people are growing food for food. Even if they have extra food to feed pigs, raising one is still too much.
Li Dahai sold his pigs years ago, and with what he had saved over the years, he still had 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
He saw that Zhao Qingsong was quite successful in growing pears, and he kept thinking about it.
Today, when Zhao Qingsong came over, he thought about it and expressed his thoughts.
Zhao Qingsong agreed immediately after hearing this. He was willing to take care of Song Xiaoshan. Li Dahai was his brother-in-law. Only when Li Dahai made money could his sister's family live a good life.
"Brother-in-law, as long as you are willing to work, I will be happy to take you, but it will not be suitable to plant pears until February next year. I will tell you carefully when I come back from the capital. But why are you thinking about planting pears now? I remember
What did you say you wanted to do with someone?"
"There was a brother in the village who came back from the neighboring province. He said he was digging coal and made a lot of money. He built a big house when he came back. I originally thought that after the brother came back, after the Chinese New Year, I would follow him to dig coal.
..."
Zhao Qingyang walked in from outside, with a very bad expression on his face, and spoke louder than usual: "What kind of coal are you digging? Didn't you say you won't give it to me? Are you willing to risk your life just to make some money?"
"A Liu, don't be angry," Li Dahai hurriedly explained, "I won't go before I finish speaking."
He looked at Zhao Qingsong: "That brother hasn't come back this year. I heard he died in the mine. Your sister won't let me go. I'm thinking of just growing pears at home. I'm short of money."
"Lack of money?" Zhao Qingsong frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing. It's just that your brother-in-law is always thinking about the children's studies. Hehua will take the high school entrance examination next year, Tiezhu is going to junior high school, and the younger one is in elementary school. All these require money."
Zhao Qingsong nodded: "We'll talk about it when we get back after the New Year. This matter can't be rushed."
Li Dahai nodded and left Zhao Qingsong down to eat.
Zhao Qingsong was alone now, so he didn't think he would come here often, so he just stayed and ate.
-
Zhao Qingyang felt that it was troublesome to go to the city to celebrate the New Year, and he had to take a train for more than two days, but seeing that He Xing's eyes were shining, and it was true that he had not seen his parents for a year or two, he agreed.
Daniel took the high school entrance examination this year. He was the king of children when he was a child. He did not neglect his studies and was admitted to the best high school in the county. He has just entered the first year of high school.
He was taller than He Xing. Before the Chinese New Year, he was still thinking about his younger brother Erniu going to the city to celebrate the New Year last year. He thought that Erniu would go to the city again this year. He was itching in his heart, thinking that if his second uncle would bring people to the city to celebrate the New Year this year.
Daniel will definitely not go yet, he is already so big.
When He Xing heard that the whole family was going to the capital to visit and celebrate the New Year with her grandparents, Dan Niu was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Erniu was also happy, he still remembered what happened in the city before.
To be precise, when Er Niu came back from the capital last year, he shared interesting things about his stay in the capital with Da Niu.
Now that I think about it again, Daniel has been listening to him talking for a long time and interrupts him: "That's almost it. Hurry up and put your clothes away, don't let mother help you then!"
Erniu made a face at his back before happily packing up his clothes.
When he arrived in the capital, He Xing realized how big the outside world was. It could be seen from the station, and he couldn't help but murmured: This capital is really nice.
"This is the capital!" Erniu said excitedly from the side, "Mom, we can go to Tiananmen Square to watch the national flag being raised, and we can also climb the Great Wall!"
Daniel couldn't help but said: "You must go, these are things you only see in Chinese textbooks."
When he thought that when he went back, he would be the only one in his class who had been to the capital, Daniel's legs trembled with excitement.
After leaving the station, Zhao Qingsong asked them: "Would you like to eat something outside before going back?"
"Is it far from home?" He Xing asked.
"It's okay. It takes more than half an hour by bus."
"Then bear with it." He Xing felt that there was no need to spend this money, and in a city as big as the capital, the things sold were definitely more expensive than outside.
In Dajiang Village, He Xing and Zhao Qingyang may have a small amount of savings, but seeing the prosperity of the capital, He Xing still couldn't help but feel timid.
After she replied to Zhao Qingsong, she remembered to ask Daniel and the others: "Are you hungry?"
Daniel and the others were sensible and shook their heads in unison.
There was nothing hot on the train, so Zhao Qingsong just wanted to drink soup and water. When he arrived in the capital, he wanted to see Li Rong immediately. Seeing that He Xing and the others didn't plan to eat nearby, he took them to take the bus.
Sitting at the window, He Xing and the others kept staring out the window. There were so many brand-new buildings in the capital and a dazzling array of shops that He Xing was unwilling to blink.
When we got off the bus, Zhao Qingsong led the way.
The people recruited by the studio are basically people who are in the capital or nearby. They are not in a hurry to go home. They all want to work for a few more days and get a few more days of pay.
When He Xing and others arrived, about ten people in the family were eating at the Eight Immortals Table.
Zhao Qingsong and Er Niu looked calm. They had seen the scene last year and were not curious now.
He Xing, on the other hand, was full of questions and didn't know where to start.
From the moment he entered, He Xing couldn't help but look at the courtyard.
This yard is so big!
There are so many things planted inside, and although there are only dead branches left now, He Xing knows that it will be particularly beautiful here in the spring.
Erniu called grandma the loudest.
"Oh! We're here!" Mother Zhao stood up and smiled at He Xing, "Xing."
Daniel is taller than Mother Zhao, and Mother Zhao's eyes turned red when she saw her eldest grandson whom she hadn't seen for two years.
