It was dark when the three of them drove home. Not only did Xiao Zhen fall asleep the moment he got in the car, but his grandparents were also exhausted.
After putting the meat in the big freezer, I left the rest aside. I was so tired that I washed my face and feet and went to bed.
I will sort out the rest slowly tomorrow. The next morning, Xiao Zhen got up as usual, exercised, and washed up. He saw a pile of things in the living room, so he began to slowly put away the things that he could move.
When his grandparents came downstairs, they saw the little kid struggling to move peanuts step by step.
"Xinzhen, these are heavy. Leave them to the other grandparents and come and play with them yourself!" His grandmother couldn't bear to let her precious grandson, who was so young, play with these things.
"Yes, it's a small town. Today we went to Lijiatuo and had breakfast and then bought firecrackers, paper money and other things!" Grandpa also pulled him away and stopped him from moving.
"Grandpa and grandma, I also need to make 5 kilograms of rice and corn bubbles. Don't forget to bring the rice and corn when you leave!" Xiao Zhen said
"You said we wouldn't forget it. Is 5 kilograms each enough?" Grandpa asked his grandmother.
"We like to eat rice bubbles in our town. We need to buy two kilograms of rice bubbles. Remember to pack them in bags." Grandma reminded grandpa who was moving things.
Xiao Zhen took the broom and went to the front to sweep the floor of the shop. He was capable of doing these jobs, but he didn't need to clean the eaves of the new house this year.
After a busy morning until 8:00, the family of three had a bowl of egg noodles, and then his grandfather drove the pickup truck to Lijiatuo to buy firecrackers.
Xiao Zhen also asked his grandfather to buy some big fireworks, saying that they would look beautiful when set off.
His grandfather also accommodated him, mainly because his younger son-in-law and younger daughter gave him 20,000 yuan for the New Year.
The old man is not short of money. This year he helped to build a gas station. Now all his subordinates are apprentices who operate engineering equipment and have also made some money.
When passing by his aunt's house, Xiao Zhen also brought a box of fireworks to his aunt.
He got in his grandfather's big pickup truck and returned to his home at the fork in the road. Before he arrived, he saw Hu Dongquan at the door.
"Why is Brother Dongquan here?" Xiao Zhen shouted from a distance. He was very happy to see his little friend during the holidays.
The two friends walked back to Xiao Zhen's home together and poured water for the little fat boy.
"I've been waiting for you for eight years and you haven't come back yet. I want to go home. Oh, by the way, let's go to Dongquan tomorrow. The weather is just right. Do you want to go?" Hu Dongquancai stated the purpose of this trip.
"Who's going? No one but older children will go with me, to avoid any accidents. It's almost the New Year, so it's better to behave yourself." Xiao Zhen has been a little distrustful of these guys since the last autumn outing. They seem unreliable.
So Xiao Zhen wanted to go but he had to ask clearly, because there were no adults alive and no older children like his cousin Wenying were accompanying him.
He would not go with a few guys whose oldest was only 11 years old. He would not have enough fun, and he would have to keep an eye on these guys with his other eye all the time for fear of accidents.
"It's just us, Liu Yi, you, me, and Guan Wenfang. I've got my swimming trunks ready!" Hu Dongquan said.
"Let's just go with the few of us. I'll see if my cousin is free to go with us. Don't just bring a pair of swimming trunks, you must also bring a dry towel, otherwise you will catch a cold.
I will ask my uncle to pick you up tomorrow and leave my cousin to accompany us. Xiao Zhen said the arrangement of Dongquan Hot Springs.
"Okay then, come pick me up early tomorrow!" Hu Dongquan said and left
In the afternoon, Xiao Zhen told his grandfather that he wanted his cousin Wenming to accompany him to Dongquan with his friends tomorrow.
His grandfather drove a big pickup truck to pick up his cousin, and also sold a few large towels, hair dryers, and Youku on the way.
"Brother Wenming, you're here. Sorry to bother you tomorrow. I was afraid that we would be alone with the kids and it would be troublesome if something got cramped. I have to trouble Brother Wenming for this." Xiao Zhen ran over and said when he saw his cousin getting out of the car with a big bag of things.
"It's almost Chinese New Year and the construction site has stopped working. I have some free time and can go to the hot springs. It's not a big deal. I've been working on a new novel lately.
My fellow excavator brothers all said that "The Past of Magic City" was really well written. It would be great if it could be made into a movie or TV series. It would definitely be better than "The Secret Post of Guangzhou". "My cousin Wenming is also a fan of Xiao Zhen's novels.
“Even if someone wants to adapt it, I’ll have to wait a few years. The price of film and television adaptation rights is too low now, so it’s not worth it.
Maybe your uncle-in-law will set up a film and television production company to make movies for fun, and it won’t cost him much money. Xiao Zhen said
"That's right. It's not a big deal anyway. I'd rather keep it for myself to avoid ruining such a good novel." Cousin Wenming nodded while drinking water.
"Cousin, can you make me a roller car? Look, I've already drawn it on paper." Xiao Zhen said, holding a drawing.
"Let me see, do auto repair shops have all those tools?" My cousin Wenming is very good at hands-on work, with deft hands and sharp eyes, but he just can't concentrate on studying.
He is very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to operate an excavator proficiently in just one and a half months.
The two brothers took the blueprints and went to the auto repair shop in front. Xiao Zhen could do it, but he was too small to hold the tools steadily and could not control the shaking.
What Xiao Zhen wants to make is actually a two-wheeled scooter that every child in the new century will have.
After working for more than an hour, it was done. Xiao Zhen got some paint and painted it bright red. He used some discarded bicycle handlebars for the grips. That was it. His brother then used a knife to carve anti-slip patterns on it. It looked very beautiful, although still very rustic.
At night, Xiao Zhen slept together with his cousin Wenming. His cousin didn't snore much, but his grandfather snored very loudly.
The next morning, before getting in the car, Wenming checked the food again and brought three large dry towels. He was afraid that the families of these little ones were not prepared, so he drove the big pickup truck to pick up the three little ones one by one.
