Chapter 574 Trip to Guizhou 2
The three of them got off the train, and Pengfei's uncle and his three sons were waiting anxiously at the exit.
When he saw the three people coming out, he hurried over to greet them.
"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, third brother!"
"This is my cousin Xiaoting and my good friend Dongzhe."
Pengfei introduced both parties.
Before they could say anything, the things in the hands of the three men were taken away by the three brothers.
Pengfei first inquired and found out that the goods could not be picked up until tomorrow, so the group decided to go back to their homes in town to rest first, come back tomorrow to pick up the goods, and then stay in the guesthouse to sell the goods.
My uncle drove the team's tractor to the city, with some goods he bought in town during the day on the tractor.
The three older brothers got into the truck bed and gave the front row of leather-padded seats to their younger siblings.
Before getting on the bus, the third brother took off his tattered shirt and wiped the seats clean, and then let the three of them get on the bus.
Xiaoting and Dongzhe were very happy because it was their first time riding a tractor.
"Thank you city kids for your hard work. Today's shuttle bus schedule is not compatible, so you can only take this one." The uncle said a little embarrassedly.
"Uncle, this is great! We are sorry for causing you trouble." Xiaoting quickly responded.
"Oh, this kid is so well-behaved!" The uncle was very happy to hear that she was so polite and followed Pengfei in calling him uncle.
"Uncle, riding this is much more fun than a car! Hahahaha! WO~~~"
Dongzhe shouted excitedly, causing his uncle and the three shy brothers behind him to laugh.
Pengfei curled his lips: "Don't be too happy too soon."
Half an hour later, as the cement road turned into a dirt road, Dongzhe began to ask:
"Uncle, how long will it take?"
Pengfei laughed to death: "Why, my butt hurts, my waist hurts"
"What? I'm afraid Xiaoting will feel hurt." Dongzhe glared at Pengfei.
The third brother in the back of the car replied: "We'll be there in half an hour."
Dongzhe was relieved when he heard this. He leaned over to his uncle's ear and said:
"Uncle, we'll reimburse you for the diesel costs when we make some money from selling the goods!"
"Oh, don't say that. When Pengfei's father comes back, I won't be able to raise my head!" The uncle refused directly.
The town is not small, and they are now going to the eldest brother's house.
My eldest brother works in town, so my aunt came with him to take care of her grandson, and the others still live in the old house in the village on the outskirts of town.
The yard is not big, but there are several L-shaped houses, which are all clean.
The eldest brother scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, our country place is not comparable to the city."
"Brother, no! The yard is so well tidy." Xiaoting praised.
"Old woman! Guests are coming!" the uncle called out.
"Here they come!" Auntie rushed out of the house. "Oh, our college student is back! Come on, sit down! I was just waiting at the gate!"
Pengfei introduced his aunt and sister-in-law to each other.
Xiaoting and Dongzhe called people sweetly.
Four-year-old Zhuangzhuang hugged his uncle's thighs and looked at the guests curiously through the gap between his legs.
Xiaoting took out a handful of White Rabbit cigarettes from her bag and bent down to present them to Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang has seen this before; Pengfei brought him this kind of candy.
He looked up at Pengfei, who touched his head and said, "Here, this is your aunt, and this is Uncle Lin."
Pengfei and Zhuangzhuang spoke Guizhou dialect, so Zhuangzhuang called them in Guizhou dialect and then took the candy.
Everyone sat in the yard, where it was cool. Some made tea for their families, some cooked, and they were busy having fun.
Pengfei was chatting enthusiastically with his family. Xiaoting and Dongzhe didn't quite understand what they were saying, but looking at the smiling faces of the people in the yard, they unconsciously curled up the corners of their mouths.
"Uncle, I can hardly recognize this house after it's been renovated."
The uncle introduced: "Your eldest brother saved some money, and your parents lent us some money, so we renovated this house. It's much more comfortable now, isn't it?"
"That's great!" Pengfei knew about this. Zhuang Hualin and Xiangdong had been working in Jiangsu for the past two years and had become financially well-off. When they heard that their eldest nephew's family was going to renovate their house, they wanted to support them, but their uncle still asked their eldest brother to write a promissory note to their uncle and aunt.
"Auntie, hey!"
A chubby little hand stretched out in front of Xiaoting, holding half of a melon dripping with sugar, and the other half was raised to Zhuangzhuang's mouth.
He looked at Dongzhe and handed the half that was near his mouth back to Dongzhe.
"Uncle, hey!"
"Zhuangzhuang, eat it." Dongzhe smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, Zhuangzhuang, you've already eaten that one, so just eat it yourself!" The second brother brought over a basin of melons, all of which were cut in half, peeled and the seeds removed.
The second brother took back the half unpeeled melon from Xiaoting's hand, replaced it with a new piece for her, and handed another piece to Dongzhe.
Dongzhe took it and exclaimed, "It's frozen!"
"Where do we have a refrigerator? There is a well in the backyard. We knew you were coming, so we soaked the melons in the afternoon. It's cool here, and it's only hot at noon. We still need to cover ourselves with quilts at night! You must be careful when you sleep at night and don't catch a cold." The second brother replied.
Dongzhe ate the melon with big mouthfuls: "Wow! This is so comfortable!"
Pengfei introduced everyone: "Dongzhe's mother, my Aunt Song treats me like Dongzhe, and she always leaves a portion of what Dongzhe eats and uses for me."
"Oh, that's great. Don't be polite when you come to our place, it's just like your own home." said my uncle's mother.
"Don't worry! I won't be polite at all!" After saying that, he started to eat the second piece of melon.
"Dongzhe and Xiaoting bought a lot of gifts for you. Since they can't carry them, they were sent together with the goods. Please bring them back tomorrow." Pengfei said again.
"Oh, that's not possible. You are still children, so we can't accept you." Uncle waved his hands.
"Uncle, we are going to do business now, we are not children anymore! When we make money from selling goods, we will pick up grandpa and grandma and go to the city for a banquet. I will pay for it!" Pengfei patted his chest.
The uncle patted Pengfei's knee and said, "I didn't dare tell them you were back, because I was afraid you wouldn't have time to go back and they would be waiting."
"I have to go and see it, otherwise my dad will beat me up when I get home!"
"He dares! Who said to beat the child? I'll beat him!" The uncle glared at him.
"Grandpa, then you beat my dad. My dad beat me yesterday!" Zhuangzhuang leaned against his uncle and began to complain about his father's "evil deeds".
Dongzhe, who understood what he heard, patted his head and said, "Uncle, just listening to this, you know that every beating you received was not in vain! Your father has a really good temper."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Laughter spread out of the yard.
During the meal, there was a pot of clear chicken soup and a few dishes without chili peppers on the table, and other spicy dishes also had much less chili peppers.
While eating, the aunt observed Xiaoting and Dongzhe, worried that the food would be too spicy for them. But when she saw that they were eating with relish, she felt relieved.
As the sun went down, a cool breeze came, and Xiaoting put on her sister-in-law's coat.
Dongzhe rushed in from outside the yard, grabbed her and ran away.
Xiaoting could only run after him.
Dongzhe pulled her to stop at the edge of a bush. Dongzhe looked at the bush, and Xiaoting also stared at it. Then she was surprised to find something flashing in the bush. It turned out to be fireflies.
The third brother was afraid that they would run away, so he followed them out to see, and saw that the two city children were just looking at fireflies.
He came closer and said, "I have a net, I'll catch it for you."
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother! No need, it's fine just to fly and watch. I've never seen it before, it's really nice."
The third brother scratched his head embarrassedly: "Then if you want one, just tell me and I'll catch some for you. I can even catch grasshoppers. I'm better than Pengfei."
"Wow, Third Brother, after we sell all the goods, take me to catch one! See that one, the one that looks like a twig... That's it..." Dongzhe described it.
The third brother pointed out: "Bamboo joints! Right? Yes, yes! You have to go to the orchard to find them."
Xiaoting listened to the two people talking about the specific form, and felt goosebumps all over her body.
Dongzhe quickly stopped the topic: "Third brother, we have time to talk alone."
The next day, the uncle had to go to the team to deliver something and return the car, so the three brothers took them into the city on the bus.
As soon as I arrived at the train station, I saw a very familiar car parked on the street outside the door.
Dongzhe and Pengfei said in unison: "It's over, they're here to catch us."
