Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Seeing that half of the twelfth lunar month is over and the Spring Festival is coming soon, Ruan Xishi has no intention of going home with her biological parents to celebrate the New Year, so she just does what she has to do.

Because the weather has warmed up recently, the chickens and ducks raised at home have returned to laying eggs normally. Ruan Xishi fed them the corn kernels harvested in late autumn, and raised them one by one with delicious food. The body has gained weight again. Every day from the morning Call, sleep next to each other after eating.

The villagers passing by Ruan Xishi's house saw the big fat ducks he raised, and they all joked that he didn't need to buy vegetables at the end of the year, and killing two ducks was enough. Ruan Xishi didn't emphasize that he didn't plan to kill the ducks, but Smiled and responded.

The sausages and glutinous rice pancakes that have been dried before, because the sun is rare, every household takes them out of the house and puts them on the roof to dry to prevent mold.After a while, the glutinous rice pancakes can be deep-fried into rice flakes.

A batch of hot peppers in the field became popular again. Ruan Xishi found a time to pick them all and sold them for a good price. The income of a few hundred yuan should be enough for him and Lu Ze to spend a new year.

The surroundings of the house have not been taken care of for two years, a lot of weeds have grown, and the gutters are almost blocked. Ruan Xishi took advantage of the good weather to go outside with a shovel to clean it up, and it will be good for the New Year.

The villagers who passed by his house saw him working so hard to take care of the house, so they asked him, "Shizai, are you shoveling the grass?"

Ruan Xishi raised her head and wiped off her sweat, and said, "Yeah, take advantage of the warm weather and get rid of the weeds, it will make you feel better, after all, it's the Chinese New Year."

The villagers asked: "I'm still celebrating the New Year in the village this year. Why don't you go back with your parents to celebrate the New Year?"

Ruan Xishi replied with a smile: "Of course they will celebrate the New Year in the village. My parents don't know what they have planned, so I won't bother them."

The villagers sighed: "Hey, it's very good to celebrate the New Year in the village. I heard that even firecrackers are not allowed to be set off in the city. There is no atmosphere for the New Year."

Ruan Xishi echoed, "That's right, our village doesn't lack anything compared to the city, it's more crowded and lively."

Seeing that he was the only one weeding, but not Lu Ze, the villagers asked curiously, "Ah Ze, why don't you see him? He used to follow you when you went to the field to pick vegetables. Why didn't you shovel grass with you today?" ?”

Ruan Xishi said: "He went shopping in the town, and he doesn't know when he will come back."

The villagers asked again: "I haven't seen your mother for the past two days. Does she know that you don't want to go with them, so she doesn't come to see you?"

Ruan Xishi still maintained his mother's image in the eyes of others. He was afraid that the villagers would think she was the kind of mother who turned her face and refused to recognize anyone, so he subconsciously defended her and said: "She has other things to do these two days, so there is no Come. And how can she run so far to find me every day, I would rather she not come and have a good rest. "

The villagers laughed and said, "That's right, but you really don't plan to go back with your parents?"

Ruan Xishi didn't deserve to be so absolute, afraid that someone would say that he was ruthless in the future, so she just said vaguely: "I don't know yet."

……

Lu Ze went to the town to buy a new dining table. The dining table at home was too short and small, and there was not enough room for a few dishes. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, there must be more dishes than usual. The table was too small to put No more.

He went to order tables and chairs, and while the owner of the furniture store was looking for someone to move and load the car, he went to the hotel to find Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen watched eagerly as the Spring Festival was getting closer, and his boss had no intention of going home. If the boss didn't leave, he, a paid employee, couldn't leave unless he was allowed to. The purchaser received chili peppers, he felt like a nouveau riche now, not at all like the elite who scolded Fang Qiu in the mall.

Just when Lu Ze came to look for him, he reminded the boss a little bit, and asked the boss if he wanted to arrange a car to go home or something.

But Lu Ze said to him, "I'm celebrating the New Year here this year, so you don't need to arrange anything."

Zhu Wen made a bitter face. Boss is here to celebrate the New Year. At least he has someone to accompany him, and at least he has a decent home. Spend the Spring Festival by eating instant noodles and bread?That's too desolate, isn't it worthy of his status with an annual salary of several hundred thousand?

Seeing his sad face, Lu Ze comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I will let you go home to celebrate the New Year with your family, but the weather is fine these days, there should be a batch of peppers to collect before the Chinese New Year, you should at least collect them." After buying that batch of peppers, it will also make the people in the village rich for the New Year."

Zhu Wenyou complained: "You really think of yourself as the God of Wealth?"

Lu Ze hummed and ignored him.

Zhu Wen also said: "Recently, more and more retailers have contacted me to buy chili peppers. If this continues, I feel that I can switch to buying and wholesale."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "That's not bad. One more connection means one more meal. It's a valuable experience."

Zhu:"……"

After Lu Ze's phone was fully charged, he called Mother Lu.

Lu's mother hadn't contacted him for a long time. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, he didn't see him calling back to say hello, so annoyed.When she received a call from Lu Ze, she complained immediately, "Oh, you still remember to call mom?"

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Isn't it because I don't have a chance to call you?"

Lu's mother said bitterly, "I told you to play amnesia at the beginning, but now it's over. How are you doing with Xi Shi recently? When are you going to confess and bring him back to our house?"

Lu Ze sighed and said, "There have been too many things that happened recently, and I guess I have to take it easy to confess. I'm afraid that there are too many things, and he won't be able to accept them for a while, and he will be stimulated."

Lu's mother asked curiously: "What happened recently, tell mom about it, and mom will give you advice."

Lu Ze leaned on the window sill and looked at the busy traffic downstairs, because the Chinese New Year is coming, the town is very lively every day during this time, there are people buying and selling new year goods everywhere, noisy and lively.

"His biological parents came here and wanted to persuade him to go with them, but he couldn't let go of the people and things in the village, so he didn't agree. He couldn't sleep well or eat well during this time, it made people feel distressed."

Lu's mother suddenly realized, she reacted and said to Lu Ze: "By the way, A Ze, there is something that my mother has been forgetting to tell you. Hey, the main reason is that my mother has not been able to contact you during this period, and I have no chance to tell you. In fact, it is a waste of time. His mother is my best friend, and the last time I saw Xi Shi, I thought he looked like my best friend, so I contacted her for a paternity test."

It was only then that Lu Ze remembered that when Pan Yao came to the door with the paternity test for the first time, she said that it was her friend Lu and his wife who did the paternity test on Ruan Xishi's hair. He was mainly concerned about Ruan Xishi's reaction at the time. , I didn't pay attention to this detail for a while.

However, Ruan Xishi's mother and his own mother are best friends, can he easily accept the fact that he broke up with Ruan Xishi?

Lu's mother felt his hesitation, so she comforted him and said, "Don't worry about this, do you still remember that when you were young, uh, you weren't too young, right? When you were about to graduate from primary school, my mother joked to you that you It is very likely that there will be a little daughter-in-law."

When she said this, Lu Ze had a little impression. He was eleven or twelve years old at the time, which was when the boy's secondary sexual characteristics appeared.At that time, he was most concerned about face, and his mind was very sensitive. He was not sensitive to gender issues. Lu's mother suddenly told him that he was going to have a young daughter-in-law, which made him feel very embarrassed. He's rebellious.

However, his mother didn't mention this matter to him later. He later learned from other sources that his so-called "little daughter-in-law" was born a boy, and the matter of getting married was over. Lu Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it now, Lu Ze was a little dumbfounded, and asked dumbfoundedly: "You mean, Xiao Ruan is the 'little daughter-in-law' you told me about back then?"

Lu's mother also felt that all this was too coincidental, and said with a smile: "No way, Xishi's mother and I also thought it was too coincidental. When she gave birth to Xishi, we couldn't become in-laws because both of our families were boys. I have regretted it for a long time, but I never thought that after so many years, you and Xishi got on good terms. Xishi's mother and I are very sorry. But don't worry, Xishi's mother has no objection to you being together. Meaning, now you only need to think about how to confess to Xi Shi, and then persuade your Auntie Pan Yao to come back, and you two can live as you want in the future."

Lu Ze smiled and said helplessly: "This is not a problem. The problem now is that he can't let go of his grandfather. He doesn't want to let his grandfather stay alone on the mountain in the village. I don't know how long it will take him to let go. Anyway, I I don't intend to force him, just take your time."

Mother Lu also sighed when she heard the words: "Hey, this is really a difficult problem. If Grandpa who cherishes time is still alive, it may be much easier to handle."

She suddenly remembered and asked, "According to what you said, are you planning to go home for the New Year this year?"

Lu Ze looked at the pedestrians downstairs who had returned home with a full load of New Year's goods, nodded and said, "Yes, I promised him that I will spend the New Year with him in the village this year. He has been preparing for the New Year these days, and he must not let his expectations fail. Bar."

Lu's mother scolded with a smile: "Then you are willing to let your mother not celebrate the New Year with you, you really have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother."

Lu Ze also smiled: "I will have a lot of time to celebrate the New Year with you in the future, maybe I can bring Xiao Ruan to spend the New Year with you, just think about how lively it is."

Lu's mother smiled and said, "I like to hear this, so you can work hard to persuade Xishi, my mother is waiting for your good news."

Lu Ze replied: "Okay, Mom, let's do this first, I have to go back."

Mother Lu said repeatedly: "Go, go, you don't have to worry so much, just confess to Xishi, you know?"

Lu Ze: "Yes."

……

The owner of the furniture store had already loaded the solid wood dining table that Lu Ze bought into the car, and when he saw him coming back, he asked the driver to follow him to deliver the table.

Lu Ze drove the motorcycle in front, and the three-wheeled truck followed Lu Ze's motorcycle, driving on the village road, with a feeling of mightiness.

When the villagers saw it, they asked, "Ah Ze, what big things did you buy?"

Lu Ze responded, "Buy a table for eating and prepare it for the Chinese New Year."

The villagers laughed and said, "It's good to buy a big table for dinner. You can have a few more dishes during the Chinese New Year, haha."

It took Ruan Xishi a long time to finally clean up the weeds around the house. Seeing Lu Ze driving a tricycle, he felt strange. When Lu Ze arrived at the door with his motorcycle, he asked curiously: "Brother Lu Ze, did you buy it?" What came back?"

Lu Ze went to the back of the tricycle to unload the car with the driver, and said, "A dining table, I'm worried that your parents will come to have a New Year's Eve dinner with you, and the table at home can't fit too many things, so I bought it. one."

Ruan Xishi was moved by Lu Ze's thoughtfulness, and while helping to carry things, he said distressedly: "Actually, you can go to Uncle Wood's house and ask him to help make a table. Will it be expensive to sell ready-made ones?"

Lu Ze said to him: "It's not very expensive. Let Uncle Mu do it now. Maybe the smell of paint will not dissipate by the Chinese New Year. How can it be used for dinner?"

Ruan Xishi thought about it, and she began to regret that she was not as careful as Lu Ze.

When the evening was approaching, Zhao Si came over and asked them to go to his house for dinner, saying that it was to make up for his daughter's full moon wine, and asked them to go and see his daughter.

Zhao Si's daughter had her full moon ten days ago. Although Zhao's family didn't have a big event, they set up a few tables at home and invited relatives and friends over to celebrate.At that time, Zhao Si wanted to invite Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze over for a drink, but Ruan Xishi's biological mother came to visit, so he didn't have the nerve to come over to bother him. It was because Zhao Si saw that the big Benz didn't come to Ruan Xishi's house these two days, so Zhao Si came to call for someone.

They all came to invite them in person, and it seemed a bit embarrassing not to go. After Ruan Xishi agreed, she went back to the house and wrapped a red envelope, and took Lu Ze and Zhao Si to Zhao's house for dinner.

Ruan Xishi and the others were invited to this meal, so apart from the Zhao family, there were only Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze. As soon as they entered the door, Ruan Xishi saw Amei who was walking in the corridor with her little daughter in her arms. Amei saw him, He smiled and said to his daughter: "My dear girl, look who is here, it's brother Ruan and Uncle Lu."

The address in the village is so messy, everyone doesn't pay much attention to it, neighbors who are not related by relatives, are not based on seniority, generally they are called by age or not, just like Ruan Xishi called Zhao Si brother and Zhao Si's daughter called him brother Same, just a convenient name.

But Lu Ze was a little embarrassed. He was older than Zhao Sisi. Although he was not married, he was not old enough to be called "brother". He could only be called uncle.

When Ruan Xishi heard Uncle Lu's name, she couldn't help laughing for a while, and when Lu Ze saw him laughing at herself, she returned him a doting smile.

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao warmly invited them to sit in the living room, and greeted them with tea and snacks. Uncle Zhao originally wanted to sit down and inquire about Ruan Xishi's parents, but Aunt Zhao drove him to the kitchen to cook, so he had no choice but to refuse. Walking away quickly, he gave his wife a dissatisfied look by the way.

When Aunt Zhao heard that Ruan Xishi's biological father and mother had found her, she was also very curious about the twists and turns. After she drove Uncle Zhao away, she sat across from Ruan Xishi and asked with a smile: "Shizi, why don't you see your parents here today? I thought I could invite them to have a meal together so that we can get to know each other."

Ruan Xishi replied: "They have something to do and they haven't come these few days. I will pass on Aunt Zhao's kindness to them."

Aunt Zhao quickly said: "Hey, no need, my aunt just said it casually, so I don't need to alarm them. My aunt just feels a little embarrassed. Why did this scene on TV happen in our village? But that's okay, your grandpa After you left, you were alone, which made people feel uneasy, but now that your biological parents have found you, you can still have someone to rely on in the future, so we and your grandfather can rest assured."

Ruan Xishi nodded perfunctorily, but looked at the quiet baby in Amei's arms. Amei was concentrating on teasing her child, but when she noticed Ruan Xishi's gaze, she smiled and said to him: "Look, our daughter How nice."

Amei's tone is full of tenderness and love as a mother. It can be seen that she loves her daughter to the apex of her heart. Most mothers love their children very much. Ruan Xishi looked at the interaction between Amei and the baby, yearning laughed.

Maybe when he was the age of Zhao Si's daughter, his parents loved him like this. Ruan Xishi didn't have much memory, but seeing Amei's current appearance was like seeing Pan Yao at that time.

Ruan Xishi's heart softened suddenly.

The Zhao family only invited Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze over tonight, so it is enough to set up a table of dishes. Uncle Zhao made a table of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat.Zhao Si brought out a bottle of white wine and insisted on filling it up for Lu Ze. He toasted Lu Ze and thanked him for driving Amei's parents to the hospital in the next village that day.

Lu Ze had long understood the enthusiasm and gratitude of the villagers. He did not expect that his little effort would be remembered for so long, so that he would thank him time and time again.He was infected by the simple human touch of the villagers, and was persuaded by Zhao Si to drink two glasses of wine without paying attention.

At the end of the drink, both Zhao Si and Zhao Uncle were a little bit over the top, talking nonsense with their tongues out.

"Ah Ze, if Shi Zai goes back with his parents in the future, you don't have to worry about staying in the village. We are all from the village and will definitely help you."

Lu Ze still maintained a little sobriety, and when he heard the words, he smiled and cheered and said: "Okay, with Uncle Zhao's words, I feel at ease."

Uncle Zhao was echoed and said with a chuckle: "Although I don't have any skills, farming is still possible. If you have nothing to eat, just come to Uncle's house. Uncle will never starve you."

Ruan Xishi didn't drink, so they could hear their words clearly. Seeing that Uncle Zhao was still sure that he would abandon Lu Ze and leave the village, he was angry and funny, and said to Uncle Zhao, "I won't leave the village, Uncle Zhao, don't worry. Well, with me here, brother Lu Ze won't be hungry."

Uncle Zhao just stared at him and said drunkenly, "What are you talking about? There are no children who don't go back to their parents. If your grandpa knows that you are like this, he might say that you are not filial."

Seeing him talking nonsense, Aunt Zhao quickly took away the wine glass in his hand and scolded him, "Don't force yourself if you can't drink. Don't you know what kind of wine you have? If you drink too much, you will talk nonsense. Don't take your Uncle Zhao's words to heart."

Ruan Xishi knew that Uncle Zhao was also doing it for their own good, so he didn't care about what Uncle Zhao said at all. After everyone drank, they greeted each other to eat food, and the meal was lively.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat and chatted to digest food, Ruan Xishi proposed to go home, Zhao Si and A Mei wanted to keep him to sit for a while, Ruan Xishi declined and said that he would go home to feed the dog, so Zhao Si Four had to send them to the door.

On the way home, Lu Ze was blown by the cool night wind, and the smell of alcohol was almost gone. Ruan Xishi held his hand tightly in the dark, as if he was really afraid that they would be separated.

Lu Ze pinched his jaw comfortingly to let him relax, but Ruan Xishi suddenly said, "I won't let you stay in the village alone."

Lu Ze nodded with a smile: "I know, baby can't bear me."
