Chapter 917 The selfish vanity female supporting role (13)

   Rent a van?

  Will this cost too much?

  But the price given by the purchaser is indeed getting lower every year, it is expected that they will not sell.

  Cherries are too seasonal. It is too late to wait until they are ripe to find a market. Wait until then to find a buyer. Can they decide the price? It's the same as rotten on the branch or smashed into the hand.

  Xu Mingkang was hesitating, when a child ran up and shouted crisply: "Uncle Mingkang, sister Yinyin is back!"

   "What? Yinyin is back?"

  Xu Mingkang hurriedly followed the child to the entrance of the village to pick up his daughter.

  The village chief also followed up in wonder, only muttering in his heart: It's not a year or a festival, how did Mingkang's daughter who works in a big city choose this time to come back? It's impossible to come to help the family pick cherries, right?

  It is possible for other people's juniors. The fruit ripening season is equal to the busy farming season, and the children who work in the city will come back to help when they take leave.

   Only the daughter of the Mingkang family could not.

  When did you go home and see her in the cherry orchard in previous years? Either hide at home or go shopping in the city.

  A girl in her early twenties, she doesn't know how to be considerate to her parents, so Mingkang and his wife still treat her like a child of a certain age.

  Xu Yin took out some Anshi specialties that Chen Jiao gave, and distributed them to the children playing at the entrance of the village: "Stop playing here, the sun will set soon, everyone go home!"

   "Thank you sister."

  The children each had a piece of sweet and soft glutinous osmanthus cake, and they laughed happily. They followed Xu Yin, bouncing and walking home.

   "You are still young, don't come to the entrance of the village to play in the future, even if you come out to play, you have to be together, you don't want to be alone, do you know?"

  Xu Yin instilled safety knowledge into them while walking.

   "Understood my sister, my mother said that there will be bad guys to catch us."

   "My parents told me that too."

   Isn’t this quite understandable?

  Xu Yin asked: "Then why do you still come to the entrance of the village?"

   "My grandma said that my mother will come back this month, and I will wait for her."

   "I miss my parents too."

  Xu Yin felt pantothenic acid in her heart.

  These children are left-behind children.

The family has no money to contract an orchard, and both parents have gone out to work. Apart from the children, only the elderly are left at home, but the fruit trees planted in the front and back of the house need to be taken care of, and they are also busy with housework. ? Basically stocking.

   "Yinyin? Is it really you?"

  Xu Mingkang hurried up and took the suitcase in her hand:

   "Why don't you call home first? Neither your mother nor I knew you were coming back."

   "I also made a temporary decision. Is our cherry orchard going to harvest soon?"

"No, your mother and I have been in the garden every day these few days. Your mother went back to cook early. I came down a few steps behind her. I met your grandfather, the village head, at the foot of the mountain. You're back."

   "Dad, is there something wrong with your body? Why are you so out of breath? The complexion on your face is not very good."

  Xu Yin actually knew that this was an early symptom of coronary heart disease. Her face was swollen, her eyes were swollen, and she was prone to palpitations, shortness of breath, pale face and sweating after walking a few steps quickly.

But Xu's father didn't realize it: "I'm in good health, but I ran a little too fast, and I'll be fine in a while. Let's go! Go home! Your mother should be ready for dinner. There's not enough food to steam you with egg custard. Go cut some meat and come back to make up for you."

Father Xu looked at his daughter distressedly and said, "Aren't you still talking about me? Didn't you lose weight too? Is the work pressure a lot? Your mother dreamed that you were crying some time ago, and the work in the big city doesn't seem to be very good. So, the wages are low and the pressure is high, so I think it’s better to come back.”

  Xu Yin nodded and said, "Well, I don't intend to leave when I come back this time."

"ah?"

   The surprised sound was not made by Xu's father, but by the village chief who walked up to him.

  I heard that the daughter of the Kang family stayed in Anshi to work after graduation, and she was unwilling to come back. She said that she finally passed the exam in a big city, and if she went back to her hometown, wouldn’t it be a waste of reading all these years?

   This remark made many people very unhappy. They also have children who are admitted to colleges in big cities. After finishing their studies, don’t they come back to take the local civil servant exam? Is it possible that only staying in a big city is promising? Is it just ten years of not reading in vain?

   To put it bluntly, she dislikes the poverty of her hometown, has seen the feasting and feasting in big cities, and doesn't want to go back to the ancestral land where she was born and raised.

   I didn't expect that when I came back this time, I would say that I couldn't leave and wanted to stay in the village.

  Father Xu was also surprised to hear his daughter say this, but he was very happy besides the surprise.

   "Good to go home! Good to go home! You have worked so hard outside, and you still have a little fat when you go back after the new year. I haven't seen how thin you have been in a few months. Go home and let your mother make up for you."

  The village chief twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that it was because of hard work and high pressure, it was obvious that he starved himself thin, oh, that’s not called starving and thin, it’s called losing weight. Girls these days don't know what to think, they don't have much meat on their bodies, and they still think about losing weight all day long.

"Your father is right, you are fine now, don't lose weight anymore." The village head said with a smile, "It's good to come back, your cherries will be ripe soon, help your parents so that they don't have to worry too much." tired."

  Every time Yuanshen came back, the village chief would say a few words when he met her, but Yuanshen couldn't listen to her, and on the contrary, he thought the village chief was too lenient.

  This time, Xu Yin responded with a smile: "I will, don't worry."

   and the village chief separated at the fork in the village road. The village chief's house was at the village road crossing, and Xu Yin's house had to go in.

   I walked almost to the foot of the back mountain before arriving at her house.

  The courtyard of the Xu family is still an old tile-roofed house built in the 1970s and 1980s. There are three main rooms, a kitchen, and a woodshed. There is an abandoned pigsty next to the woodshed.

  It was built in the early 1980s when the government encouraged pig raising. Later, there were too many people raising pigs, and the country opened large-scale pig farms and slaughterhouses. The domestic pigs could not be sold at a price, and gradually no one raised them.

  Until recent years, with the soaring price of ecological pork, some households in the village began to raise pigs, but the Xu family had too little labor force, and they were powerless to raise them, so the pigsty has been abandoned.

  The roof of the pigsty has long since disappeared, and the tiles have been removed to repair the roof of the main house.

  The pigsty without the roof became a small vegetable garden, and Xu's mother planted some commonly eaten side dishes, green onions, **** and garlic.

   Xu’s house has only three main houses, but the homestead is not small, and the surrounding open spaces belong to them.

   It was just that he had no money to build a house, so Grandpa Xu asked someone to buy some fruit tree seedlings, including peaches, apricots, and pears, and planted them in front of and behind the house.

  However, these fruit trees are all seedlings, and the fruits they bear are either small and stiff, or sour and astringent.

   Some people reminded Father Xu that he could find someone to marry, but there is no one in this town who knows how to marry.

  Father Xu went to the next town to inquire, and learned that grafting a branch would cost one yuan and five, and that more than three working hours would include a meal.

  There are a total of eighteen fruit trees planted on his homestead, including six peaches, six apricots, and six pears. If they were all grafted, it would cost a lot of money.

Xu's father was reluctant, and the couple had been busy working in the cherry orchard for the past few years. There was no time to take care of the fruit trees around the house. Build a big house.
