Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.
The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...
The meal cost eight dollars and fifty cents.
This is considered high consumption these days.
Wang Yuehua paid the bill promptly, packed up the unfinished dishes on the table, and asked the boss for a box of rice.
After leaving the restaurant, the three of them rode their bikes towards Chenjia Village.
When we entered the village, it was already past two in the afternoon.
I went to Wang Yuehua’s house first.
His mother was sitting outside in the sun. When she heard her son's call, she looked towards them and immediately stood up with a gentle smile.
After the two bicycles stopped, Wang Yuehua got off, took out two packed foam lunch boxes from the basket in his hand, and handed them to his mother with a smile.
"Mom, we went to a restaurant for lunch. This is the meal I packed for you. Eat it quickly. It's still hot!"
"Why are you wasting this money, kid? I ate the cake."
Li Yuxia said with a complaining look on her face.
"I didn't waste any money. I didn't finish the food. I asked the boss for rice, but he didn't ask for money."
Wang Yuehua hurriedly explained.
"Is that so? Good!"
Li Yunxia nodded with a smile and took the food.
"Auntie, these are the things Ahua bought for you. I'll just put them here."
Chen Wang took the sack off the car and placed it on the ground next to the two men.
"Ah? Everything in here was bought? Ah Hua, what are you doing?"
Li Yuxia glared at her son with a stern face.
"Mom, don't be angry. This didn't cost much. You know, Brother Awang bought bear bile and other things and gave me 760 yuan!"
As Wang Yuehua spoke, he took out the remaining Da Tuanjie from his pocket and handed it to his mother.
Li Yuxia was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Wang in surprise and asked, "Awang, you didn't give too much, did you?"
"Auntie, don't worry, the three of us will split it equally, no more, no less, 760."
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuxia smiled and took the money and put it in her pocket.
"Mom saved the money for you to marry and have children. I told you not to buy anything before you left, but you didn't listen. What did you buy?"
"They are all daily necessities, some food, and some cloth so you can make yourself some clothes."
Wang Yuehua replied with a smile.
"I just need clothes to wear, why should I spend money?"
"Mom, this isn't money I earned from working, it's like a windfall. I have to spend some of it. Besides, there are actually a lot of things we lack at home. It's okay for me to live a rough life, but you can't. It hurts me to see you like that."
At this point, Wang Yuehua glanced at the adobe house behind his mother and continued in a firm tone:
"We don't have enough money now, so we can't let you live in a better house, but you have to have what other families have. My son will make more money in the future, and sooner or later I will let you live in a big house and enjoy the good life with me."
“You kid!!”
Li Yuxia's eyes suddenly turned red.
"No more talking, Mom, you eat, I'll move these in."
Wang Yuehua grinned, picked up the sack on the ground and went into the house.
At the door of the brick house next door, the woman was also sitting in the sun eating melon seeds. She saw everything that had just happened and felt very upset.
She didn't understand why Chen Wang and the other man would bring Wang Yuehua along to make money together.
"Awang, Dazhuang, thank you so much, come in and have a cup of tea!"
Li Yuxia invited the two with a gentle smile.
"No, we'll go back first."
"Yes, please don't be polite, that's what Ah Hua deserves."
"Ahua, let's go!"
After the two of them got back on their bicycles, Chen Wang shouted into the house.
Wang Yuehua hurried out of the room, nodded and said, "Have a good time, we'll have a drink together some other time."
"It's necessary. Let's go."
Chen Dazhuang smiled.
Afterwards, Chen Wang and his friend rode away on their bicycles together.
The mother and son stood there and watched them go away.
"Ahua, Awang, they are willing to take you with them. It is your blessing. You should be grateful."
Li Yuxia said seriously.
"Mom, I know. I'll treat you all at the restaurant in town at noon!"
"Well done, it's what you deserve."
"Open it and eat it now, don't wait for it to get cold."
"Okay, okay, let's go inside and eat."
Li Yuxia smiled and turned to walk into the house.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but he glanced at the woman next to him out of the corner of his eye.
The woman noticed it and instantly understood the meaning of the look. He was simply showing off to her that he had such a good son, while she only had a daughter who was very disobedient.
For a moment, the woman's face looked extremely ugly.
…
…
After parting at the intersection, Chen Wang and his friend rode their bikes home.
I entered the room carrying some of the things I bought, and saw my wife and the kid taking a nap.
Hearing the noise, Lin Xiuqin immediately opened her eyes, sat up and looked at him.
"I bought some fruit. Did the little girl go to school?"
Chen Wang put the things on the table and asked with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin nodded and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, indicating that there was food left for him.
"We can't eat anymore. We ate in town."
Chen Wang smiled, took out today's earnings from his pocket and handed them to her, saying, "760, split it equally with Dazhuang and Wang Yuehua."
Lin Xiuqin took the money with a smile on her face and gave him another one.
Chen Wang didn't hesitate to take the money and put it in his pocket.
