Chapter Ninety-six: The Appearance of an Old Man (please collect it!)
ps: Folks, don’t forget to vote for Dao Sanha! For other folks who haven’t collected it, please help me collect it, thank you!
Liu Hai bought a few aluminum tubes and a handful of steel wires. Next to the steel wires, Liu Hai found an aluminum scoop. Without thinking, he bought two more aluminum scoops.
Of course Liu Hai didn't buy these things simply to find an excuse to come up and talk to Wen Bingbing. In addition to the iron wire being used to fix the folding ladder, the aluminum tube and aluminum scoop are also used for other purposes!
Liu Hai paid the money, took everything, nodded to Wen Bingbing with a smile, and politely said goodbye.
Then turn around and leave gently.
Liu Hai didn't know whether his sudden appearance would have an impact on Wen Bingbing. He no longer wanted to know this. Now, he has gradually let go of his secret love.
He realized that just as he thought, his feelings for Wen Bingbing were not known to be true love, or just the spark of his adolescence. But this was no longer important, the dream had been broken, and the person had woken up.
A handful of wire and two aluminum tubes didn't take up much space. Liu Hai took the items out of the store called "Plum Blossom", hailed a taxi directly on the side of the road, and headed to the Chinese medicine store.
Today’s chance encounter will remain in your memory and let it settle!
Since he was worried about his mother being alone in the hotel, Liu Hai was in a hurry to do things all the way and finally made it back to the hotel before the city's rush hour started in the afternoon.
In the middle of the process, I went to the toilet, found a place where no one was around, and put the aluminum pipe and steel wire into the mysterious space.
The prosperity of the provincial capital cannot keep Liu Hai's mother and son's hearts, nor can they keep Liu Hai's mother and son's people.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yun and Liu Hai rushed to the provincial capital South Bus Station and boarded a bus to Long County.
The car journey was long. Along the way, Liu Hai was silent and expressionless except taking care of his mother. A kind of silence was hidden in his heart.
When he returned to Maohe Village, Liu Hai saw the familiar scenery around him, and a smile finally appeared on his face. Smelling the fragrant earthy smell of the fields, his quiet heart gradually stretched, expanded infinitely, and gradually merged with the entire field.
——Green, brilliant, and silent.
The day was very hot, and it was noon when Liu Hai and Xiao Yun arrived home. Since there were many sycamore trees around Liu Hai's yard, it was actually much cooler than other places.
Liu Qinglin and Liu Wu are digging a well in the corner of the front yard. Now the well is more than four meters deep, and water has begun to seep out from the bottom!
"Dad, where have the third grandma and the others gone?"
Liu Hai is very strange. There are only Liu Qinglin and Liu Wu at home, but the third grandmother, Liu Xiaofu, Liu Chen and Liu Zi are not at home. Where will they go at this noon?
Xiao Yun was also very surprised. She washed her face with cold water and asked aloud: "Really? Where did the weather go on such a hot day?" She was a little worried about the old man's health. If he was outside on such a hot day,
, don’t get heat stroke.
Liu Qinglin helped Liu Hai take out the traditional Chinese medicine from the bag and put it in the bamboo box where the traditional Chinese medicine is usually stored. He said with a smile: "A few young people accompanied the third aunt to the village to take pictures. When you came back, there was no
Did you see that? Someone from the town was taking pictures of the old people in the village. I didn’t want the old people to go alone, so I asked Xiaofu and Chen Yatou to take Zier and accompany the third aunt. It’s at the ancestral hall at the head of the village."
Liu Hai and Xiao Yun then remembered that when they had just returned from the village, they found that there seemed to be many people in the ancestral hall.
"Taking pictures? What kind of pictures are you taking? How long have you been there? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Liu Hai was also a little curious about taking pictures. To be honest, he had only taken pictures twice, once when his class took graduation photos, and the other time when he was applying for an ID card.
As soon as Liu Hai finished speaking, his mother Xiao Yun rolled her eyes.
"You kid, why are you so ignorant? Doesn't the government send people down every few years to take photos of the elderly? When they take 'big photos' (big photos) of the elderly, what kind of photos do you think they take?"
When Xiao Yun said this, Liu Hai understood what was going on. He thought to himself that it turned out to be a "hundred-year photo" taken for the old man.
The so-called "hundred-year photos" refer to photos of the elderly taken a hundred years later.
"You should be back, I've been there for an hour." Liu Qinglin said, looking at the old Shanghai watch in his hand.
Just as he was talking, he heard the conversation between Liu Wu and Liu Chen suddenly coming from the yard.
Liu Chen helped the old man into the house, followed by Liu Xiaofu and Xiao Liu Zi. Xiao Liu Zi also held a large yellow paper bag in his hand. Maybe it was because the temperature outside was too high. When he entered the house,
Somewhat breathless.
"Third Grandma, we are back!" When Liu Hai saw the old man coming back, he hurriedly put down the things in his hands and stepped forward to help Liu Chen help the old man sit down on the stool. He picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned the old man.
"How's it going, Third Aunt, did you take a photo?" Xiao Yun poured a cup of herbal tea for the old man to take a sip.
Liu Zi held up the paper bag in his hand and shouted to Xiao Yun: "Mom, photo!"
Liu Hai, Xiao Yun, and Liu Qinglin discovered that the cardboard bag in the little girl's hand actually contained a large photo!
"Hey, why did the photo come out so quickly?" Xiao Yun curiously took the photo from Liu Zi's hand, took it out and saw that it was the photo of the old man! It was in color!
"It's still colorful!" Liu Qinglin came up to his wife in surprise and took a closer look.
"Hmm - not bad, third aunt, this photo is good, you are in good spirits!"
"It's good, but it's too expensive. One photo costs fifteen yuan! When we took the photo the year before last, it only cost three yuan - if this girl Xiaofu hadn't forced me to take the photo, I wouldn't have taken it -"
The old man muttered and complained.
"Grandma, this is taken and developed on the spot. In addition, the previous photos were black and white, but this is a color photo, so naturally it is more expensive."
"Isn't it just a photo? I think the black and white photo is better."
The old man always cares about his own money and is reluctant to part with it.
Liu Hai listened to the old man's mutterings and was very moved. He thought of the fifty thousand yuan bank card - the greatness of the old man lies here, the perfect fusion of generosity and diligence.
Liu Hai looked at the photo of the old man carefully for a while. The old man in the photo was smiling slightly and was very kind. The appearance of the old man was kind.
At night, in the dead of night, Liu Hai took the pliers and entered the mysterious space. He took the aluminum tube and aluminum scoop to the riverside, where the four-jointed ladder lay quietly.
Liu Hai took out the iron wire and carefully fixed the four ladders together. After fixing it, Liu Hai tried it again and felt that the ladder was much more stable when it was placed on the river! If more wooden boards were added to the ladder, it would be perfect!
After fixing the homemade "bridge" with his bangs, he didn't rest. He still had the most important thing to do tonight!
The reason why Liu Hai bought aluminum tubes and aluminum scoops was not for any other reason, but to collect water!
Take the river water brought by this third merit leaf!
