Since Xiao Mo came back, he has followed me to work every day.
He didn't want any work points himself, but instead helped the aunts and sisters-in-law who were on good terms with him.
Sometimes he went to cut grass for the cows, went fishing in the river with his brothers, and went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. His figure could be seen everywhere in Yushu Village.
At dinner that night, Grandpa Qi said with a smile, "Xiao An, Xiao Mo, I ordered four pigs from the next village today. You two brothers, please discuss when to invite the villagers to eat the pig-killing meal?"
Xu An thought for a moment and said, "Seventh Grandpa, why don't we set it for the day after tomorrow? That day happens to be your birthday.
When the time comes, invite Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang over, and we’ll have fun together with the other villagers to celebrate your birthday. ”
Xiao Mo agreed, "Second brother, this is a good idea. I originally wanted to invite all of his old friends to have a meal on Grandpa Seven's birthday.
Since we are going to invite the whole village to dinner, let's arrange it on Seventh Grandpa's birthday so that it will be lively. ”
After hearing what his two grandsons said, Grandpa Qi felt sweeter than eating honey.
He followed Xiao Mo to Beijing at that time, and those old friends were worried about him, afraid that he would not be able to get used to living in the city.
When he came back this time, everyone felt relieved seeing his attire and his spirited look.
He originally wanted to treat the villagers to a meal with his own money, but Xiao An and Xiao Mo refused to agree.
They said that the two brothers should treat each other to this meal, firstly to express their gratitude for the care that the villagers had given their family in the past.
Second, the people living here are all relatives of Grandpa Qi, and they are also their relatives. It is only right and proper to invite the villagers to a meal.
Grandpa Qi didn't argue with the two of them. If they wanted to pay, let them pay. Anyway, his money would be left to his brothers in the future.
The next day, Xiao Mo, Xiao An and Jianhua went to the county town to buy ingredients for the dinner party.
Every household grows vegetables in their fields. The villagers were told not to buy vegetables because they would pick them and send them to them in the afternoon.
Xu An went directly to the farmers' market, which was the former black market.
After the reform and opening up, people no longer had to do business secretly, so it was renamed Chengnan County Farmers’ Market.
There were all kinds of things for sale there. Each of them carried a big basket, and Xiao Mo was selecting ingredients in the front.
I bought eggs basket by basket, and also bought a lot of geese and chickens, and dozens of kilograms of vermicelli.
He put all these things on the ox cart and bought a lot of rice, flour, and various seasonings.
It took Old Chen's ox cart two trips to finish pulling the load.
After returning to the village, Xiao An went to find Aunt Dashuan and Aunt the village chief, and asked them to help call a few aunts and sisters who were skillful to help with cooking tomorrow.
Xiao Mo went to Old Chen's house to find Uncle Hongjun. Chen Hongjun was a famous house builder in the neighborhood. It was he who helped to renovate Xu Ning's previous house.
When Xiao Mo came this time, he took out all his money. Excluding the money he used to buy a house in recent years, he still had more than 18,000 yuan in his hand, which made a huge pile when put together.
On the train, he and his second brother took turns sleeping, and the bag never left their side.
His family members didn't know why he took out so much money, but they all respected his choice. This kid was a little stingy and wouldn't spend money recklessly.
The last time Xiao Mo heard from Brother Jianhua, he said that during the Chinese New Year, a heavy snowfall collapsed several of the school’s adobe classrooms. Fortunately, it was night and there were no students inside.
The village has no money to repair the school, and now many children cannot go to school. After hearing this, he felt very upset.
His life is better now, but his brother is still suffering in the countryside.
This time when he came back, he planned to help renovate the village school, but he didn't know how much money it would cost, nor did he know if the money he had saved was enough.
He first went to ask Uncle Red Army. If he didn't have enough money, he would borrow some from his second brother and seventh grandfather, and then pay them back when he went back to set up a stall and earned money.
Chen Hongjun was sweeping the yard. When he saw Xiao Mo coming, he thought he was looking for his youngest son Sandan.
He smiled and greeted, "Xiao Mo is here. Sandan is doing his homework in the room. Come in. I'll pour you a bowl of mung bean soup that your aunt Xiangyun cooked today."
Xiao Mo didn't bother to be polite with him, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Hongjun, but I'm not here to see Sandan today. I'm here to ask you something."
Chen Hongjun first went to the kitchen and brought him a bowl of mung bean soup, then asked with a smile: "Xiao Mo, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xiao Mo first took the bowl of mung bean soup and took two sips, smacked his lips and said, "The mung bean soup cooked by my Aunt Xiangyun is delicious.
Whenever I came to visit Sandan before, Aunt Xiangyun would always pour me a bowl of mung bean soup.
After I returned to Beijing, I never had such delicious mung bean soup again. ”
Chen Hongjun couldn't help laughing when he saw him drinking a bowl of mung bean soup with an intoxicated expression as if he was tasting fine wine. This kid is still as playful as he was when he was a child.
When he came to Sandan's house to play in the past, his wife would secretly cook an egg for him and Sandan. This kid would have the same expression every time he ate it.
