his dragon [farming]

Early the next morning, at the dinner table, Shen Baocheng heard Shen Lin saying that he was going to leave, and suddenly he looked like a bitter woman who had been in the cold kiln for 18 years but was abandoned. bedroom.

Shen Lin ignored him, and even winked at Qiu He not to persuade him.The mother and son then had breakfast.After packing up the luggage after dinner, Qiuhe helped carry the box to the yard. Shen Lin said: "Your birthday will be celebrated in a few days. I will try my best to hurry back. If it is too late, let it be. Tell mom first, what do you want?" Gift?"

Qiuhe thought for a while and said, "Then you can buy me a better camera. I want to open an online store, so I need professional equipment."

Shen Lin cut it and said, "Prodigal son! Do you know how much a better camera costs? You'll just mess around!"

Qiu He hugged his mother's arm and acted like a baby: "Don't be stingy, Mr. Shen! How about you deduct it from my pocket money, anyway, there is no place to spend money in the town."

Hearing what he said, Shen Lin felt that she was really wronged by letting the child stay in this remote place. She thought for a while and said, "Next time I come back, I will go to the county town to buy a suite. Then we will live there and see if you can afford it." Can't fit in there."

Qiu He hurriedly said: "Don't be in such a hurry, I live here very well."

"What a fart!" Shen Lin glanced at the room, lowered her voice and said, "It takes a few miles to go to the bathroom, what's wrong?"

The mother and son muttered for a while, and Qiuhe sent Shen Lin to the station.Before leaving, Shen Lin shouted to the room through the window: "Dad, I'm leaving!"

There was no sound inside, and the old man was probably still angry, so Shen Lin said again: "You should take care of yourself at home, don't catch a cold, and you will not cause me trouble when the time comes!"

As soon as Qiu He heard this, she hurriedly dragged Shen Lin away. When she was about to leave, she heard the window slamming. Looking back, she saw the old man standing in the open window, staring at them with puffed cheeks, like an angry toad.

Shen Lin couldn't help sniggering, and after the two walked for a while, Qiu He said to his mother: "If you don't provoke him to say something about you, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"

"The old man turned himself, blame me!" Shen Lin said, trying to twist Qiuhe's mouth, "Who are you protecting? I'm your mother! I've taken care of you for 17 years... "

"All right, all right!" Qiuhe begged for forgiveness, and said, "Sister Shiliu, my younger brother will be your man in the future, and I will be your cow and horse, and I will go through fire and water for you. Is this the head office?"

The mother and son went to the station together, and Qiuhe waited for Shen Lin to get into the car, and saw the car go far, and then reluctantly walked back.Entering the yard, I saw Shen Baocheng sitting on a chair under the eaves, smoking a cigarette dully.

Qiu He hurried over to snatch the cigarette, threw it on the ground and twisted it with his foot, and said, "What did the doctor tell you when you were discharged? Unconsciously!"

His grandfather was stunned, his face was a little embarrassing, he licked his mouth and didn't speak.Qiuhe went into the house and took an apple, peeled it and handed it to grandpa. The old man took it in his hand, didn't eat it, glanced at Qiuhe several times, and asked, "Why did your mother think of buying a house in the county?"

Qiuhe sat down next to him and said, "Mom said you are getting old, and you will need someone to take care of you in the future, and you don't want to go to the provincial capital, so she had to move her family back to the county seat. It will be convenient for you to be closer to you." some."

When the old man heard it, didn't this mean that he was old and useless?Immediately yelled, "I don't want anyone to take care of me! I'm fine!"

"Pull you down!" Qiu He also peeled an apple for herself, and squinted at the old man while eating, "It's good now, after five years? Ten years? I'm not talking about you, my mother will give in first. You can accept it when you see it, the two of you are always awkward, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

The old man remained silent and buried himself in eating the apple, but his expression was very dissatisfied.Qiu He ate the apples for a while, and then said: "Grandpa, my mother told me yesterday that she used to sell wine to people in the hotel, and she sold wine, not to accompany people."

Shen Baocheng was stunned, with half-belief on his face, and it took a long time before he said: "Did she tell you? I asked her many times, why didn't she tell me that?"

"Isn't she her ancestral stubbornness? The more others wronged her, the more lazy she was to explain. Besides, you were angry at that time, would you believe her when she told you?" Qiu He paused, feeling sour in her heart, and said again : "Also, when my father and mother met, he didn't have much money. He opened a small typing and copying shop in the provincial capital at that time, and he was able to make ends meet. Later, my mother took over the shop and ran it for many years. Only then did the current printing company come into being. You don’t even know how hard she worked when I was a child..."

Having said that, Qiuhe's nose felt sore, so she stopped, stood up and went to the bedroom.Shen Baocheng sat alone in the small courtyard, without moving for a long time, before he raised his hand and rubbed his face.

Qiuhe happened to see it from the window, and regretted that he had spoken too harshly, which made grandpa sad, and was about to go out to explain a few words, when Bai Chuan came in from outside the house.

As soon as Bai Chuan entered the door, he saw Shen Baocheng sitting with a bewildered face, his eyes seemed a little red, as if he had cried - this was something that had never happened before, he was immediately startled, squatted in front of Shen Baocheng and asked: " What's wrong?"

Shen Baocheng consciously lost his composure, quickly rolled up his sleeves and wiped his eyes, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing! Just now a gnat flew into the eye, I rubbed it."

Bai Chuan saw that he didn't want to say more, and he couldn't force it, so he asked, "Where are Mistress Pomegranate and Qiuhe?"

"One just left, one..." Shen Baocheng said, and shouted into the room: "Qiu He, Bai Chuan is here."

Qiu He came out of the house, Bai Chuan saw that his eyes were a little red, and guessed that it was because Shen Lin had left, the old man felt sad.He didn't know how to comfort him, so he handed the things in his hand to Shen Baocheng and said, "I dug up a wild ginseng, and I'll make soup for you."

The wild ginseng is thicker and longer than the carrot, with complete roots and hair.Shen Baocheng held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He was very surprised and said, "It's such a big man, I'm afraid it's an old ginseng. I didn't expect that we still have it on the mountain! This thing is too precious! You keep it for yourself!"

Bai Chuan said disapprovingly, "It's useless for me to eat it. You and Qiu He need more supplements."

Qiuhe heard that it was an old ginseng, so she came over to look at it and said, "So this is wild ginseng, where did you dig it? Is this very valuable?"

Shen Baocheng and Bai Chuan looked at him together. After a while, Shen Baocheng said: "Ordinary wild ginseng is ridiculously expensive, let alone such a big one. We used to have it on this mountain, and it has been dug up long ago. I still When I was a child, I saw dealers accept such big roots."

Bai Chuan then said, "I'll look for it later, I'm afraid there are still some in the mountains."

Shen Baocheng handed the ginseng to Qiu He, and ordered: "Since Bai Chuan gave it to you, keep it well and don't let others see it. Before going to bed at night, cut a small piece the thickness of a coin, put it in a casserole, add water, and simmer over low heat. Overnight, add some honey to drink in the morning. Don’t cut too much, wild ginseng medicine is strong, and people can’t stand it if you put too much.”

Qiuhe agreed, and solemnly took the ginseng to the kitchen and hid it in the cupboard.Shen Baocheng stood up on crutches, walked around the yard twice, and suddenly cheered up, and said to the two children: "There are a lot of sweet potatoes harvested this year, let's boil sweet potato candies and make candies, shall we?"

Bai Chuan immediately agreed, but Qiu He had never heard of this kind of food, but seeing the two people's enthusiasm, he also responded positively.Shen Baocheng then instructed the two children to wash sweet potatoes and soak wheat, and found a stove from the west compartment, cleaned it and put it in the yard.

To make candy, you first need to use rice crackers.In the afternoon, after dinner, Bai Chuan lit the stove, Shen Baocheng moved a chair and sat beside him, and fried rice crackers himself.

Every year when the people of Liangshi Town harvest glutinous rice, they will pick out the whole grains, steam them, spread them on the mat to dry, then grind them by hand into individual grains, and seal them up for storage.When you want to eat it, put this kind of rice in a pot and stir-fry until every one is fried, and it becomes white and crispy rice flower. It is very popular to eat it dry or make soup and snacks.Qiu He stood by the stove, watching grandpa cook a pot of snow-white and fragrant rice crackers like a juggler, hurriedly ran into the kitchen to get a spoon, gave Bai Chuan a spoon, and the two of them gathered around the rice crackers to eat.

Qiuhe took a few sips, praised it, and said, "It's so fragrant! I think the rice flower is already very fragrant, why do you have to use this to make candy?"

Those two laughed that he had never seen the world, Bai Chuan said: "Candy is also delicious!"

Qiu He disagrees, thinking that Bai Chuan has little say in eating.A guy who even thinks pimple soup is delicious, it is almost certain that there is nothing he finds unpalatable.

However, Shen Baocheng recalled the past and said: "The most delicious thing is sweet potato candy! However, I haven't made it for more than ten years. When your grandmother was here, the family made this every year! Both her mother and son like it. Boil it Sweet potato candies take time, and many times it was midnight when the candies were ready. Your mother is so greedy! She just stood on the edge of the pot and couldn’t be chased away! One time she fell asleep and fell from the chair accidentally I fell down, broke a piece of skin on my forehead, cried so hard, and ate two warm candies before I went to sleep!"

Qiuhe laughed so hard that she decided to make fun of Sister Shiliu next time.At the same time, he raised his eyebrows to run on grandpa: "Oh, I thought the candies were made for me to eat, but it turned out that they were specially made for my daughter!"

His grandfather couldn't hold back his old face, and pretended to be angry: "I'll beat you up! Did you not let you eat it or something?"

Qiu He smiled and said, "It's not made for me, so I won't eat it!"

Shen Baocheng said: "Then spit out the rice crackers you just ate!"

Bai Chuan was adding firewood to the stove beside him, and while listening to the father and son bickering, he felt that the pores all over his body were open, revealing a burst of joy.

The three of them were frying rice crackers and gossiping about family affairs when a group of people came outside the house.It turned out that Shi Laoliu brought the policeman Old Wang over, and Old Liu followed behind with a broken arm.Lao Wang smiled as soon as he entered the door: "It smells so good! It's a coincidence that it's just in time for the newly fried rice crackers!"

Shen Baocheng hurriedly stood up on crutches, let everyone go to the yard, asked Qiuhe to help move the chairs, and asked Bai Chuan to make a bowl of sugar water rice flower for everyone.A group of people sat down in the yard noisily, Lao Wang chatted for a while, and talked about business.

"Didn't the police arrest a few people last time? Two of them confessed during the interrogation, saying that Liang San sent them to Liangshi Town to fight people, and asked them to secretly dig ginkgo trees the next day. Before For a while, Lao Shi and I went to the county a few times, trying to ask them for a sum of compensation, and today I finally got it, so I sent it to you as soon as possible."

Lao Wang has worked in the town police station for a long time, and he also has feelings for the people of Liangshi town.Last time, accidents happened one after another in his jurisdiction, the old people were beaten, and the ginkgo tree was stolen, which made his face very dull.Later, when he heard that the gangsters from the Qinghu gang confessed to beating people, Lao Wang thought that the hospitalization of the old people cost a lot, and someone had to pay for the loss of the stolen tree.He went to the county several times to look for people, and later called Shangshi Laoliu to go a few times, and finally got some clues about this matter.

Although Liang San and Liu Hongming are dead, their companies are still there.Some time ago, Shen Lin also went to the Deputy Director Wu in the Public Security Bureau, and asked friends from the provincial department to call to pay attention to the progress of the matter.Thanks to the list of bribes, Deputy Director Wu is now very likely to lose a deputy and become Director Wu, so it is not good to take this matter too lightly.In addition, Liang Sana's company is now being overthrown by everyone, so he is also caught in it, seeking justice for the people of Liangshi Town.So under the influence of several aspects, Shi Laoliu finally plucked his hair on the iron cock today, and got a sum of compensation from Liang and Liu companies.

Shi Laoliu took out an old cloth bag from his pocket, opened it carefully, and saw a few wads of money in it.He said: "Uncle Shen, Bai Chuan, this is a total of 9 yuan. Fifty thousand is for the medical expenses and nutrition expenses of you and Uncle Liu, as well as the damage caused by the damage at home. The other [-] is for Bai Chuan Those ten or so ginkgo trees can't be chased back. Nowadays, the price of this kind of ancient trees has risen sharply. According to the market price, even one tree is more than this number, but those people are so talkative, they are only willing to give this Some money."

Old Wang interjected: "According to legal procedures, you should go to the court to sue him. When the judgment comes out, the compensation will probably be more, but I think that it will take too long to go to court. Besides, when Liang Sana's company Maybe it’s going to happen, maybe you won’t get any money, so I let Lao Shi make the decision for you. If you agree, you get the money and sign here.”

Finding someone to ask for money is the first difficult thing in the world.Shen Baocheng is so old, how could he not know?Seeing Shi Laoliu and Pharaoh Wang's dusty appearance, maybe how long they have been running away for this matter, he felt very guilty in his heart, and hurriedly said: "You two are helping us sincerely, what do I disagree with? Bai Chuan, what do you think?"

Bai Chuan lowered his eyes to look at the ground, and said, "I'll listen to you."

Shen Baocheng looked at Old Man Liu again, and asked, "What do you think, Old Liu?"

"I have nothing to say!" Old man Liu also said, "Brother, you can do whatever you want."

Several people signed and pressed their fingerprints.Shi Laoliu took out the money and gave it to them.Seeing that something happened, Old Wang drank the rice crackers in a few sips, stood up and was about to leave.Shen Baocheng was really grateful in his heart, he held on tightly, and said: "Director Wang, this time you have been troubled and ran away again. Anyway, have dinner at my house. ——Dare you look down on our family's side dishes?"

Lao Wang laughed and said, "Next time when your leg is healed, I'll come over and have a drink with you. This time, let's forget it. I have you as a patient at home, and I'm so busy. If I don't leave, what's the trouble here?"

Shen Bao couldn't keep his prejudice, so he had to send him outside the door.Shi Laoliu sent Lao Wang out of the town, and Shen Baocheng asked Old Liu to stay.Old man Liu sighed: "Nowadays, there are not many people who are so enthusiastic about serving the people like Director Wang! It's a pity that after working all their lives, they didn't get promoted, and now they are still struggling in the town."

The two old men sighed twice, and discussed the distribution of the compensation in the small courtyard. Bai Chuan then said, "I don't want the money for the tree. Should I distribute it to the old people in the town? They also suffered for me. "

The two old men were startled, even Qiu He was surprised.In his impression, Bai Chuan is very short of money, just look at his clothes.Most of the poorly made clothes were bought during the ten yuan two-piece sale at Hua Niangniang's shop. ——Of course it is undeniable that Bai Chuan looks handsome even in this kind of rag.

Old man Liu hurriedly persuaded him: "Son, you have already visited the old people in the town, and you have sent things to every household. How can you be so stupid? Nowadays, a penny is hard for a hero, why don't you keep some living money in your hand?" ?”

Bai Chuan said lightly: "I'm short of money and will find a way. My tree is not for sale."

Old man Liu wanted to persuade him, but Shen Baocheng stopped him. Shen Baocheng said, "Just do as Bai Chuan said, it's just a little bit of the child's wish."

Old man Liu became excited when he heard this, and said, "Old Liu is the most loyal person in his life! I just want to say this to you. From now on, just go to grandpa's shop to shave your head!" He glanced reproachfully at Qiuhe, proud With a little resentment in his heart, he spattered and said, "As long as you appreciate the old man's craftsmanship, grandpa will shave your head for free for the rest of your life!"

Qiu He stood aside, feeling like he was lying on the gun, so he secretly made a face at Bai Chuan, and saw Bai Chuan looking down at him.The corner of the guy's mouth was slightly curved, his eyebrows were smiling, and his eyes were affectionate. He was a gentle and happy handsome man.

Qiuhe's heart shuddered, and she blushed for no reason.
