Chapter 25
Inside the house, grandma sat on a stool and looked at a large cloth bag on the ground, a basket of eels and a basket of miscellaneous items, and a pile of osmanthus branches. Tears were flowing, and she kept muttering, "My grandson, I don't know how much suffering I suffered there. At home, I have never done anything."
Grandpa was sitting next to her, his eyes were filled with mist, but he didn't say anything.
Yunyan had cleaned up the table, placed the banana leaves on it, occasionally grabbed a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, his eyes full of happiness, but his expression did not show any signs.
Pan Wenhua came in with a basket of frogs, followed by Li Xiulin, and behind him was his father Long Haoyuan, who was wearing an eel basket.
Pan Wenhua put down the basket, "I counted it and divided it out fifty-six frogs, there should be more than thirty frogs in it..."
Grandma shed tears, "Wenhua, don't do this for now, let's talk about my grandson's situation."
Li Xiulin hurriedly said, "Mom, Wenhua just came back and probably hadn't eaten yet. I have to let others eat first."
Pan Wenhua smiled and said, "Aunt, I ate too much at Jianhua this morning and haven't tried to be hungry yet. Jianhua is really doing well, better than you all. I last night..."
After listening to Pan Wenhua's story, Wenjun, who followed him in, immediately shouted loudly, "I want to go to Jianhua to go to the countryside to go to the countryside!"
Grandma wiped her tears and smiled, "My grandson has really grown up. Not only can he take good care of himself, but he can also help the family."
Grandpa said in a depressed voice, "A man should go out and break out. If you stay at home, you will be ruined. This is proof. My Long family, real gold is not afraid of fire, and there will definitely be no waste people."
Grandma glanced at her grandfather and shouted loudly, "When did my grandson get rid of it? He has always respected the elderly and loved the young. Although he is a little naughty, who is not naughty when he was young?"
Pan Wenhua chuckled and rubbed his hands, "Grandpa, uncle, aunt, Jianhua wants me to bring a few more words." Seeing everyone looking up at him, his face turned a little red, and he mustered up his courage, "Jianhua, don't save money at home, you have to eat more meat; and from now on, we must ensure that Yunyan has at least three taels of meat every time, and it will be gradually increased in the future. Jianhua gave me fifteen yuan and asked me to buy black market rice and meat, and I agreed." Then, he took out two banknotes from his pocket, "The 15 yuan that Aunt asked me to give him, but he didn't want it; he earned 46 yuan during this period, which is no worse than you."
Looking at Yunyan who was crying, he continued, "Yunyan, Jianhua, you must study hard and not be lower than the top three. If you don't get the top three, he wants you to eat a pound of fried oil, which will make you so greasy; eat twenty eggs, which will make you so swollen... He was so vicious when he said this, hehe."
Yunyan smiled happily and nodded quickly, tears flew straight away. The tears of grandmother and mother who had been crying quickly shed, and grandfather and father also had tears to the ground.
Pan Wenhua put the money in his pocket and said in a hurry, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, I'm going back now."
His father Long Haoyuan waved his hand and said hoarsely, "Don't worry, you can bring some things back. Jianhua is in the letter and I want to give you one with Pure Steel."
Pan Wenhua leaned over and picked up some osmanthus branches, and smiled, "I'll take some osmanthus trees first, and come back later to get other things. Live frogs must be put in net bags... By the way, don't make eels first, wait until I come back in the afternoon to tell you how to make them; I almost swallowed my tongue with the eels and frogs made by Jianhua."
Yunyan wiped his eyes and said to Wenjun who turned around and was about to leave, "Brother Wenjun, bring some strawberries back."
After the two brothers left, Li Xiulin wiped away her tears, "Jianhua is living a good life now, we should be happy. Yunyan, untied the big cloth bag, it should be a dry frog. We will give it to Wenhua and Pure Steel House later. I don't know how much it has been installed, and how much labor it took... Some of these things on the ground are still unknown, so I have to ask Wenhua; the living frogs in the basket must also dare to catch... Dad, mother, how should eels be made?"
"There are many ways to eat eels. They taste very good. I haven't eaten them for many years. Didn't Wenhua tell us to make them?" Grandpa responded, and then pointed to the things on the ground, "Ground silkworms, Argan ginger, pepper, pepper, Yanghe, and cinnamon tree. I don't know when Jianhua knew about these things."
When grandpa heard that he didn't say how to do it, grandma chuckled, "You know how to eat, how can you do it? My grandson was suffering and tired there, but we ate it at home."
Long Haoyuan slowly said, "Jianhua has grown up, we should be happy. Jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved. Yunyan, your brother, do you remember it?"
Grandma said softly, "What do you do for a girl who reads books so well? Virtue is the most important thing."
The mother answered, "Mom, this is from Jianhua, and it came from Wenhua's mouth. Both of them are good at studying. Now Jianhua has no choice but to go to the lineup. If Yunyan can study better, then study better. In the future, there will be a better position for recruiting workers. In some positions, you still need to study some books."
Grandma snorted softly, "Then listen to my grandson. He has grown up and is reliable in doing things. We all have to listen to him. From now on, we will enjoy the blessings of my grandson." She grabbed a strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth.
...
When the work was over in the afternoon, the floor of the house in front of the warehouse was full again. Chen Daniu shouted everyone to put the dried ones together and shouted loudly, "This is not OK, Pingtai. Tomorrow morning, we will not dig all the grass roots, and we will divide some of them to the back of the mountain."
Chen Liping pointed up, "The sun flashed east and the rain flashed west, the north and south qi flashed heavily, and now it flashed north and south qi flashed heavily, and there will be heavy rain tomorrow."
Long Jianhua looked up at the south, and there was indeed lightning in the gray clouds, and the same was true in the north.
Chen Lisheng, "I have worked so much in a row. If I don't know how to rest, I will buy piglets."
Wang Yuhua also shouted loudly, "Yes, I'll just take a vacation. I'll go out to pick up some fabrics. Look at my body, I'll repair my scars and add scars, and I can't repair them anymore."
Her words received unanimous response from everyone and they all agreed.
Chen Yuanshan's humming overwhelmed everything, "What everyone is thinking about is that, don't you think about these hairy grass roots? Hurry up and put the wet ones into the warehouse, tie the dry ones and carry them home."
Chen Daniu thought for a while and said loudly, "In this way, we will divide the grain now and then put the grass roots into the warehouse. If it rains tomorrow, there will be a holiday."
With a goal, there is motivation. Everyone is clamoring to go home and pick up baskets of grain, then sweep the remaining rice in the warehouse into a pile, and place the dry and wet grass roots separately.
Long Jianhua came only at the end of July, so naturally there was no rice to divide. After he finished dividing the rice, he moved the grass roots into the warehouse with the cheerful members.
