The house Qi Lin rented was actually quite good.
The house was built about 20 years ago. It is a square red brick bungalow. The roof was covered with a sloping roof using asbestos tiles that were popular at the time to prevent rainwater leakage. It is now very old, but it is not broken.
In addition, it was not built next to the main road of the village, so the village committee did not require the roof to be replaced.
The one-meter-high cement courtyard wall is still covered with glass particles, and the horizontal bar at the bottom of the hollow iron gate is rusty and has broken off, but it does not affect the locking of the door.
The cement block in the yard had a few deep cracks, and now weeds had grown out. Even though Qi Lin had pulled it a few days ago, there were still tender grass buds growing again.
But it was such an environment. When the old man looked at the yard, there was a faucet and sink in the utility shed on the side, and the toilet was actually a flushing pit seen in the city, he was full of surprise!
This place with lots of water is great!
It's just that the bed is not a kang that is close to the wall, but he is not used to it, but this is still a rural area, but it is greener than his hometown, so it is not that difficult for him to accept it.
At this moment, he looked at the hoe, shovel, etc. in the shed, carefully checked the wedge where the **** was inserted, and then said happily: "They are all good!"
"yes!"
Qi Lin quickly led him to put away his things first, and also taught the old man to turn on the TV - which he bought with extra money. This house has not been occupied for many years, and the TV in the house still has the same antenna as before, which has been in disrepair for a long time. We no longer see a few stations.
So he spent money to buy a small "pot" online. A TV worth a few hundred yuan was placed there and connected. It was not as difficult to connect as online TV, and there were many channels to search for. In short, Old Man Qi was satisfied and worried at the same time:
"How expensive it is at the end of the year."
3,000 yuan is nothing to Qi Lin, but he didn't say this: "Grandpa, you also know that if no one lives in this house for a long time, it will decay easily. People just ask for a few dollars to find someone to come to them. Make it more popular. This TV is easy to break if you don’t watch it...it’s more humid here than over there, so you need to watch the electrical appliances more!”
That's the truth.
It's not that Old Man Qi doesn't understand that the washing machine in the canteen owner's house often breaks down if left unused for a long time.
He wanted to ask something else, but Qi Lin had already pointed outside: "Grandpa, look at our land. It's the end of April, so we need to plant vegetables as soon as possible."
The old man was shocked: "That's true!"
It will be too late if you don’t plant vegetables!
The vegetable patch is just below the door of the house across a path.
The terrain is slightly lower than the house by one or two meters. There are traces of dried bamboos forming a circle on all sides. The dark green net is probably to prevent chickens from getting in. Now it is hanging in tatters on the side and has long been covered by weeds. Buried in a mess.
As for the three or four percent of the vegetable plot, it was even more of a mess, overgrown and densely covered with weeds.
Old Man Qi was heartbroken when he saw it: "Ouch!"
What a wonderful place this is!
He immediately ignored reminiscing about old times and turned around and hurried back to the yard. He rummaged through the utility shed and found a rusty sickle - but he couldn't find the whetstone, so he became anxious again and murmured:
"Our sickle is the best! It works well. I wanted to bring it with me, but your uncle Wang said that the train is not allowed to enter... Oops, I heard other people in the village say that the train leather is green, but things are getting better now. , the color of the train has also been changed, it’s painted white, and it looks pretty good...”
Qi Lin saw that his thoughts were all on the ground, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
…
Old Man Qi is very comfortable living in Yunqiao Village.
He wakes up at 5 o'clock in the morning. Generally speaking, at this time, he will go to the kitchen to cook himself a pot of batter and some pickles. Then go to the fields to clean up... But most of the time, there is nothing to clean up in the fields. Whose family doesn't have sacks of potato seeds and sweet potatoes? I ate it without eating it.
But here, after getting up at 5 o'clock, he wandered around the house with nothing to do. He simply went to **** the weeds that he had cut a few days ago with a big broom.
Qi Lin gets up late when he doesn't need to monitor data. He gets up at seven o'clock to brush his teeth - living here is not as convenient as a dormitory and there is no Internet, but the difference is not big. He can just go to the dormitory when processing data.
When he came out again, he saw that the weeds were piled neatly on one side. The old man also asked: "I see the fertilizer here, the weeds will definitely grow longer - Linzi, there is so much grass that you can feed sheep and raise sheep." Sheep?"
Qi Lin couldn't laugh or cry: the idea of raising sheep was instilled in his grandfather when he returned home during the Chinese New Year.
"OK!"
I am not afraid that the old man will find something to do, but I am afraid that the old man will have nothing to do: "I will buy you another nest of chicks and let's raise them together!"
That's a good feeling!
Old Man Qi was overjoyed: "Okay, okay..."
He turned around and asked him again: "I can dig through this place today. Where are you going to the market? I'm going to buy some vegetable seedlings!"
"There is a bus!" Qi Lin said quickly: "You plow the ground today. When you finish, I will take you to the town to go to the market."
Look at the time again: "Let's go have breakfast first."
When it came to eating, the old man became even more enthusiastic: "Does your canteen really cost nothing?"
"You really don't want it!" Qi Lin said without changing his expression: "Look, no one is collecting money. Everyone is eating like this - weren't the dumplings last night delicious?"
That must be delicious!
Unlike here, the mountains and plains are green with deep and light colors, and it looks moist. It is a good place to grow crops.
It is no exaggeration to say that Old Man Qi was only two dumplings short of three bowls last night - because he was afraid that he would be full, so he just didn't cover the plate!
If shepherd's purse is delicious, it must be paired with good meat. The meat there tastes fresh and fragrant, and there must be no corners cut.
Therefore, when Old Man Qi talked about eating, he was full of energy: "What are you going to eat this morning?"
Qi Lin was busy cleaning up yesterday and didn't look at the menu, but when the grandfather and grandson walked to the door of the cafeteria, they smelled a sour smell.
This morning it was mung bean sprouts in vinegar, fried rice with mutton oil, and chopped white fungus soup.
The vinegar-coated mung bean sprouts are fresh and sour. The seventh cousin added a little chili pepper, which gives it a spicy taste. It is both appetizing and delicious. Even those who can't eat spicy food can't help but pick up two chopsticks.
The mutton fried rice is incredible! The aroma of mutton oil began to float throughout the factory and dormitory building from the moment it was cooked. The night shift pickers who had originally planned to sleep in all got up. After asking again, they found out -
Song Tan brought the mutton oil!
God! I heard that the mutton was sold for hundreds of pounds per pound. They had to eat it hard this morning!
Master Jiang's craftsmanship is not much better than that of his seventh cousin. There is a blazing flame under the stove. The helper is neatly cutting the green garlic sprouts. When the mutton oil rice and eggs are integrated, the garlic sprouts are added inside. fall-
Master Jiang likes to stir-fry the garlic sprouts more vigorously. The garlic sprouts are partially burnt brown and the whole garlic sprouts will be wilted. It doesn’t look so green and beautiful, but when you really chew it with the fried rice, you will know that this is another unique delicacy. ah!
The fried rice was a little dry, and then I had a bowl of chopped white fungus soup that was not too thick even with rock sugar...
beautiful!
That's so beautiful!
The white fungus is the leftover from the first harvest this year. Master Jiang carefully selected and boiled it, and the mutton fat -
He himself came out to eat happily with a bowl in hand, and said to the old man with a glowing face: "Old man, your grandson is well raised! Practical! Steady! He is also a good person! The boss here especially values him!"
"No, I heard that his family members are here. Boss Song brought a bowl of suet early in the morning and told you to try it. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to our food..."
This is more beautiful than any other words!
Old Man Qi smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth - he had already lost two teeth and they hadn't been replaced yet. But the teeth are quite good and can chew bones. The smile on his face was particularly bright at this moment:
"I'm used to it! Why can't I get used to it! It's delicious!"
He couldn't bear to eat like this at home! There are big pieces of eggs in this fried rice, as well as minced meat, and a lot of oil.
Not to mention the white fungus soup. His hometown is barren and the air is too dry. No one grows white fungus at all. He can only drink it a few times during dinner in his life!
Now it’s great, I can enjoy it all!
Looking at his grandson again - oh! Why does the boss value it so much? Isn’t that an iron rice bowl?
secure!
It's a good thing that he came here, otherwise the children wouldn't say that the job here is so stable! After dinner, I need to call my old neighbor. I need to thank him for helping me pack my luggage, and I need to tell him what life is like here...
He heard that vegetables grown here could be sold, so he had to work harder and save money, otherwise his child would still not be able to marry a wife when he was in his twenties!
…
The grandfather and grandson are living happily here, feeling that life is full of hope.
And in Hetan, the crew moved here today and started shooting on the first day. The scene was just set up, and the actors got distracted when they were speaking their lines -
"Click!"
The director was very angry: "What are you going to eat so early in the morning?! Can we still shoot!"
But after saying this, some of the crowd became commotion.
The director's anger subsided slightly and he turned to look back -
Huh!
They were given numerous warnings when filming, as they were afraid of damaging things on other people's farms, so there were slogans written next to the fence.
Now the viewing angle is diagonally facing, and that side is not included, but the actors standing opposite can easily see the scene here.
It was a group of dogs watching them filming.
It’s true!
It feels like joining in the fun, but you can also watch it with great energy and seriousness!
When the actor took the role, his eyes only slightly changed, and he could see the big eyes of a dozen dogs behind him, which were big, round, focused and cute.
In particular, the other party seemed to be aware of his gaze, and even wagged their tails in unison.
This, you really can’t blame them! (End of chapter)
