Picking mulberries

On this day, Qiu Yang and Cui Shicheng came home from the company for lunch, and it was rare for Cui Dongxu to be at home, and he pretended to be helping Mama Su in the kitchen.

"Don't move, don't move, I'll come." Seeing that Cui Dongxu was about to carry the steaming casserole, Qiu Yang quickly put down the bag in his hand and rushed in.

"Why are you free to go home for dinner today?" Cui Shicheng asked his son.My son feels that he has changed a lot these days. He seems to be more energetic and energetic. I don’t know if Mama Su made some tonic for him.

"The work is over for now. Besides, now I have an assistant who is super capable. It's much easier." Cui Dongxu stepped aside to let Qiu Yang go.

"Qu Jing is super powerful, and her memory is very strong. She can memorize the number of those specimens every minute." Qiu Yang put the casserole on the dining table, "Old lady Zou is so generous, she will send you one by one who can do it."

"Hey, don't put gold on your face, what kind of capable person are you, I'm afraid the professional courses have been abandoned long ago." Cui Dongxu said shamelessly.

"A Yang just shifted the main battlefield, now he is my right-hand man." Cui Shicheng laughed.

"Oh, by the way, I was too busy a while ago, so I forgot to ask," Cui Dongxu asked Cui Shicheng, "Dad, is Ayang's position as executive manager stable? Does the staff below have any feedback?"

"Who dares to rebound from my personnel appointment? Besides, who doesn't admire A Yang's drive and ability? Don't worry, since I want to let go, of course I have thought it through carefully." Of course there are criticisms, but I am the master of my business, and whoever refuses to accept it will leave.

"Oh, that's good." Cui Dongxu hummed in his heart, what deliberation, it's obviously an appointment made out of thin air on a whim, but according to your temperament, even if A Yang is a dou, you will just knock out your teeth and swallow it.

"Looking at your tone, it seems that you don't believe it. If you are afraid of a crisis in the family business, why don't you resign as a teacher and come to the company?" Cui Shicheng knew his son's mind and deliberately took over the army.

"Come on, I don't have that kind of business acumen, so I will continue to contribute to our country's agricultural cause in accordance with my mother's last wish, and I will do my best until I die."

"I understand what Ma'am means best. You don't necessarily need to engage in scientific research to serve farmers. If you can become a parent officer, you will have more weight in speaking for farmers." Su Ma took over the words.

"It's good to be an official. Look at our countryside. The teachers are all poor as hell." Cui Shiying also interjected.

"Yo ho, I'm the one with the lowest status at home." Cui Dongxu said dissatisfiedly.

During the meal, everyone was relatively quiet, but Qiu Yang couldn't help it, so he said to Cui Shiying: "Auntie, don't eat too much seafood at a time, your stomach will be overwhelmed, drink more soup to moisten your stomach. "

"Will you have stomach problems? Oh, I don't think you guys eat much. It's a pity every time you throw it away. It tastes so delicious." Cui Shiying said in her heart, why is this little guy so stubborn like a cow? , Said to be called grandma, why is it still my aunt.However, he called my younger brother uncle, and it was right to call me aunt.

"Su Ma, don't cook too much meat every night, it's better for the health of the elderly." Qiu Yang said to Su Ma.

"Your aunt's health is too poor. I asked Su's mother to make the food richer, but it's all steamed and stewed. Digestion should be fine." Since Qiu Yang lived with his parents, Cui Shicheng's diet has also followed Qiu Yang's, light Simple and elegant.

"You can't replenish your body with just a few meals. You have to take your time. Too much nutrition will backfire." Qiu Yang persuaded.

"That's right, I often do crop experiments, that's why." Cui Dongxu chimed in.

After eating, Cui Dongxu did not go to the study as usual, but watched TV with the old people together with Qiu Yang.

"Dad, Master Gao came over this morning and talked to my aunt for a long time. It should be that the gifts you want to give are all ready." Cui Dongxu said to Cui Shicheng who was wiping the offerings by the altar.

"Yeah, Xiao Gao called me." Cui Shicheng nodded, walked over from the west hall and said to Qiu Yang, "Xiao Qiu, why don't you work hard tomorrow and go to Xia Ye's house?"

"Okay," Qiu Yang asked curiously, "Uncle Cui, what kind of gift did you buy? When you were talking to Master Gao, it seemed that you said you wanted to bring some salesman there. What does that mean?"

"Didn't I visit some of her old sisters with your aunt when I left? I learned that they wanted a blood pressure monitor, rice cooker, refrigerator, etc. during the chat, and I bought them for them. And your aunt The two neighbors are usually very kind to them. They want to provide them with a means of earning a living. They bought a rice mill and a large truck respectively. These two things are large, and they have to sign a contract or something, and they have to bring a salesman. Let's do it together."

"Rice mill? Big truck? My god, who is this for?" Qiu Yang didn't expect Cui Shicheng to be so generous when he made a move. It is conceivable how lonely he has always been in his heart. He found the only surviving elder—Cui Shiying, and he was very grateful.

"It's the two women you met at my house. The older one is called Liu Xing'e. Her son is a truck driver. She has been working part-time for other people. She is very diligent. Unfortunately, she doesn't have her own car and can't earn much money. The younger one is called Yang. Baozhu, because her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed, the husband and wife didn't go out to work, and they always wanted to start a small business at home." Cui Shiying gave Qiu Yang a detailed introduction.

"I don't know what the teacher's cousins ​​will think." Qiu Yang laughed.

"Whatever they think, I don't want to see someone who can sever ties with his own mother." Cui Shicheng said indifferently.

"Ah..., it's also my fault for not being well educated," Cui Shiying wiped her eyes, "Because there was no one in her natal family and no backer behind her, I was used to being bullied by your uncle at Ye's house. It can't be said that he has no status at all. His son is spoiled by him, and his temper and character are the same as his. What's more terrible is that none of the three daughters-in-law has a conscience, and none of them is willing to suffer. It was because of some trivial matters that the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law quarreled. There was a lot of rain this spring, and the east wall of the house where I lived was flooded with water, and the three sides were ventilated. This time, no one is willing to pay for repairs, fortunately I can still see Shifu, otherwise I am afraid I won’t be able to survive this winter.”

"Sister, it's okay to pretend that such children and grandchildren have never been born. Now just take good care of your body." Su's mother comforted.

"That's the only way to think." Cui Shiying sighed.

"Is it going to be early tomorrow?" Qiu Yang asked Cui Shicheng.

"It may be that I want to go early, but I don't have to start in the dark like last time, anyway, it's not far away," Cui Shicheng twisted the prayer beads in his hand, "You and Xiaogao drive there, and lead the way for the truck. All the things to be delivered are here. on the truck, including the truck itself."

"Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so I'm going too." Cui Dongxu said excitedly.

"What are you doing? It's not a fun thing." Cui Shicheng persuaded.

"Isn't it our hometown? It's good to know the way."

"Ye's house in Liutang is far away from Cui's house in Jiepai Mountain. You have to go back to your hometown to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors when you go to repair the graves of your grandparents."

"Teacher heard that we often talk about Liukong Temple, and I have always wanted to visit Ruijin Mountain. I think it's better to take this opportunity to go together. I will drive with the teacher, and let Master Gao drive the company's car. We will bring Master Gao to the Let's leave the Ye family alone and go straight to Ruijin Mountain." Qiu Yang knew that Cui Dongxu wanted to go to the Ye family to join in the fun, and Cui Shicheng was worried that his son would have something to do with his nephews.

"Oh, that's a good thing. Regardless of your beliefs are different from ours, seek common ground while reserving differences. Not to mention anything else, just climbing mountains is also good." Hearing what Qiu Yang said, Cui Shicheng immediately agreed.

Liutang Ye's family has never been so lively.

There seemed to be a convoy parked in front of the village, and two luxury cars arrived, and a brand new large truck was parked in front of it.What's even more exaggerated is that Comrade Gao Minhong didn't know whether he played freely or obeyed Cui Shicheng's confession, and actually pulled up a banner on the front of the truck "Cui Shiying is grateful to give back to the good neighbors".

When Cui Dongxu saw Gao Minhong's attitude, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly, and said to Qiu Yang in a low voice: "My father is so flamboyant, how can he look like a person who practices Zen and worships Buddha? This is too exaggerated."

"You're wrong," Qiu Yang chuckled, "Uncle Cui's move is exactly what the Buddhists call a blow to the head, and it's a way to punish evil and promote good."

"Hey, you are really good at speaking for your boss."

"Of course, Uncle Cui is our benefactor, and we depend on him for our living."

"Do I earn less money? If I don't rely on my dad, I can't support you?" Cui Dongxu said a little unhappy.

"Xu Xu, I'm so touched." Qiu Yang would have already pounced on Cui Dongxu's body before it was in broad daylight.

"Don't act cute to me, just be serious, what's the next step?" Cui Dongxu pointed to the things on the truck.

"Don't worry, just wait." Qiu Yang smiled and motioned Cui Dongxu to look at the slowly gathering crowd.

There was no need for Gao Minhong to go into the village to call for people, all the old and young in the village came out to see the novelty, the public yard in front of the village was full of people, everyone saw the banner in front of the truck, and Qiu Yang getting off from the truck behind, they were all excited. Probably estimated the reason for this convoy.

Qiu Yang climbed onto the back of the truck, cleared his throat, and explained the purpose of coming here to everyone on the field. Finally, he pointed to Gao Minhong and told everyone that both he and this master Gao were entrusted by the boss to do things. , because I don't know the specific person to thank, please come to the front of the folks who are called by name, and take the things that the boss sister wants to send.

Liu Xing'e, Yang Baozhu and Qiu Yang knew each other, so Qiu Yang invited the two of them into the car and asked them to check whether the person who received the things was listed on the list.Under Gao Minhong's loud voice, the old ladies who were pointed came forward one by one to take the things happily, and asked their children and grandchildren to help them if they couldn't lift them by themselves.

Finally, Gao Minhong pointed to the giant rice mill left on the car and said to Yang Baozhu, "You are my boss's sister's neighbor Yang Baozhu, right? This rice mill is for you."

"Ah?!" Yang Baozhu never dreamed that when he was chatting with the old lady's son, he casually mentioned the family's livelihood plan, and he immediately made his family dream come true. He really couldn't accept it for a while.

"This truck is yours." Gao Minhong said to Liu Xing'e.

"What?" Liu Xing'e thought that this car was specially delivered, but she didn't expect that it was for her family. "What is this called? We can't bear such a big gift." Such a big one How much does a truck cost?

"It's all the boss's intention. I'm just responsible for delivering the goods. I paid for it, so I can't return it. The seller has come, and I have to sign a contract with your son." Gao Minhong said with a smile.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not, why don't you tell me the old aunt's contact number, and I'll tell her." Liu Xing'e turned to Qiu Yang and said.

"She doesn't like mobile phones," Qiu Yang persuaded, "The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated. Our boss also hopes that the two neighbors can have a stable income in terms of livelihood. Good intentions will be rewarded. You can understand it this way."

"Good rewards are good rewards, but the rewards are too precious, which makes us feel uneasy." Yang Baozhu said.

"Today, the boss asked us to send these things here, just to express his sincere gratitude. There is no such thing as light or heavy etiquette. You think the things you accept are valuable, but to my boss, he cares more about how you treat him. Sister’s love, if you accept it calmly, he will feel at ease,” Qiu Yang thought for a while and said, “Why not, your hazelnuts are very famous here, and you also have sweet potatoes at home, my boss’s son likes them very much Green and ecological food, I’m really sorry, how about some hazelnuts and sweet potatoes?”

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of these things at home." Yang Baozhu and Liu Xing'e said in unison, and hurriedly ordered their husbands to go home to get them.

With a carload of sweet potatoes and hazelnuts, Qiu Yang and Cui Dongxu left first, and Gao Minhong took care of the rest.On the way to Ruijin Mountain, Cui Dongxu, the co-driver, kept nagging in Qiu Yang's ear again, because he watched the Xie En scene at Ye's house, and couldn't help feeling the good and evil of human nature.

"Hey, why did my Xuxu, who is engaged in crop research, study social ethics?" Qiu Yang said with a smile, "The general public has its own characteristics. If everyone is exactly the same, what kind of world will it be, and what fun will it be? Principles, each has its own way; survival skills, each has its own method. If you don’t stick to one pattern, you will have a broad mind and live a natural, free and easy life.”

"Hey, it sounds like you've suddenly realized something," Cui Dongxu said with a sneer, "Since you've realized it so thoroughly, why don't you go out and become a monk?"

"You are my way, you are my law, without you, how can I be free and easy. Life is alive, after all, there is no escape from the word fate, you are my fate, guarding you is my destiny."

"Come on, you'd better let me sleep for a while, don't let me talk about Buddhism here, I am a veteran party member with more than ten years of party experience, and I don't listen to what you say."

"Different beliefs do not mean that cognition must be different. Come and go, belief is just a boat that carries you on a journey, and there will always be different routes to the same destination."

"You won, let me have a good rest, don't you want to climb a very high mountain later?" Cui Dongxu thought in his heart, brat, now he's pretending to be sanctimonious, and tossing me at night, with all kinds of tricks, I don't know where it is Learned.

"Oh," Qiu Yang was still chattering, "Xuxu, when you arrive at Liukong Temple, you can follow your temperament and don't have to pretend to be pious. After all, you party members also have your own precepts in your heart."

"It doesn't bother you to think about it." Cui Dongxu leaned back his back, closed his eyes and regained his composure.
