Chapter 9 Commencement of Receipt

The warm sun shone on the bed, Zhang Lan moved, raised her little paw and rubbed her eyes, the sun was so good, the warmth shone on her body, she was lazy all over her body, comfortable like a cat snoring slightly at the head of the bed, Zhang Lan's little paws gently stroked up, the kitten squinted her eyes comfortably, rubbed on Zhang Lan's little paws, the cute little ears trembled slightly, and she turned her back, and the sun shone through the gap in the curtain on this person and a cat, a person, a cat, the wind swayed the curtains gently, A feeling called warmth and harmony slowly spreads throughout the house.

Sitting on the bed in a daze and enjoying this warm time, it was extremely difficult to make up my mind, get up, although it is said that lying in bed is the child's patent, but Zhang Lan did not plan to do this, slowly got dressed, lay down along the edge of the bed, drank a glass of water, said hello to his parents, and began his daily routine of running.

After running around and coming back, I just saw Li Yumin walking out, "Uncle Li is early." Zhang Lan said hello.

"Well, I heard your parents say that you went running?" Li Yumin touched Zhang Lan's little head with a smile and asked.

"Well, physical activity starts small." Zhang Lan shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be an adult.

Li Yumin was happy, "Hey, this little guy." He turned his head and smiled at Zhang Zongjun: "Zongjun, then I'll go to work, work hard, maybe my brother will have to mess with you then." ”

"Are you willing to give up your iron rice bowl? Let's talk about it when you're really willing to do it. Zhang Zongjun was also happy.

"You guy", Li Yumin shook his head, "Okay, I won't talk to you, mine hurry up and go to work, or it will be late." As he spoke, he got on his bicycle and swayed away.

"Be careful on the road!" Zhang Zongjun shouted in the back.

"Don't worry." Li Yumin didn't come back with a word.

"Did Uncle Li send a loan to our family?" Zhang Lan asked her mother.

"Hmm", my mother agreed, and turned to twist Zhang Lan's ears: "Stinky boy, go wash my face and brush my teeth, and get ready to eat." ”

"Mom, you light", Zhang Lan snorted and screamed, why does her mother always like to pluck her ears, "People who always pinch their ears will become stupid." ”

After breakfast, the family rushed to Li Mingjiang's orchard with scales, and saw from a distance that the apples that had been picked were neatly stacked there, the red bananas and apples were red and bright, and the skin of the big apples was oily and shiny, as if it could no longer contain the flesh inside; The golden skin of Huang Cancan's golden hand is like a layer of gold lacquer, bright and dazzling, and when you bite into it, it is sweet and crisp, and the sweet apple juice flows down the corners of your mouth.

"I've found all the people, and after a while, I'll push them to the side of the road, have you found your car?" Li Mingjiang asked again uneasily.

"I've found it, come over around 4 p.m." Zhang Zongjun replied with a smile.

"That's good, brother, look at this year's apples? It's not my brother, I'm blowing, look at the fruity color of this year's apple", he said and clicked open an apple, "Look at the sugar content, I really don't have to say." Li Mingjiang is obviously quite proud of his fruits, he has been carefully serving for more than half a year, starting to prune and fertilize just after the New Year, flowering and pollination, no drought and no waterlogging, no good harvest then can not be said.

"That's not it," the old man was also very satisfied, "Who in the nearby ten miles and eight towns doesn't know that you are very good at planting fruit trees, look at these orchards around, that is not the technique that I learned from you, otherwise their yield can be so high?" ”

"Hehe", Li Mingjiang waved his hand embarrassedly, "What are you talking about, all the villagers, who is so stingy, just such a thing is still hidden?" What's going on? ”

People in the countryside are like this, hardworking, simple, kind, and they will not hide good things, and whoever has something to do can ask their neighbors to help take care of it; The city's high-rise buildings not only block people's eyes, but also freeze people's hearts with cold concrete buildings.

"Uh", Zhang Lan woke up suddenly, I really fucking salty and eat radishes and worry about it, he loves to freeze or not, he cares about my old man's shit, he hasn't had a good life yet, and he still has the heart to care about how others are doing, it's really a pain in the idle egg that is full of food. In a vulgar phrase: the wind is rising, what does it matter to me!

At this time, there have been a few people, there are Zhang Lan's aunt and brother-in-law, and a few Zhang Lan don't know each other, no matter so much, love to know or not, it has nothing to do with me, Zhang Lan thought, but didn't want to have a pain in his ears, a familiar feeling appeared again, but people couldn't help but come to these people, looking at the constant threat in his mother's eyes full of meaning, Zhang Lan quickly gave in, and greeted obediently: "Hello auntie, you also came to help?" Good uncle and uncle. ”

Zhang Lan's aunt's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, showing off to the people around her: "Look, this is my sister's child, my little nephew, smart, so good, just a little bit, when you grow up, you will be a good person." As he spoke, he happily picked up Zhang Lan, took out two hard-boiled eggs in his pocket and handed them to him.

Zhang Lan is everyone's favorite treasure in her grandmother's house, her grandparents are distressed, she is afraid of being scared in her hands, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth, and several aunts and uncles are even more painful, especially this aunt, who just got married this summer, and the object of marriage happens to be in the same village as her sister - Zhang Lan's mother, and the two families are very close, which inspires her endless maternal love, and she has to come to Zhang Lan's house all day long to see this little guy.

The people around also knew that the little prodigy of the Zhang family had heard of the magic of this little guy, and they came forward to tease this guy.

"Zhang Lan, will I be your godfather?" One of them asked.

"Not good." Isn't this nonsense, trying to take advantage of yourself? I am even older than you in my previous life, let me be your son? Am I that stupid? It's unbearable for uncles and aunts.

"Why?" That guy didn't give up, and continued his great cause of fooling, in a vain attempt to fool himself with a cheap genius son.

"Do you want to", Zhang Lan sighed, it seems that it is not possible to make a big move, "If I make you a godson, I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is my fault that you don't eat well, it is my fault that you don't dress well, if you quarrel with your daughter-in-law or because of my fault, it makes it difficult for me to do, so forget it." ”

Hearing Zhang Lan's little adult's tone, the people around him laughed, and the old man who tried to take advantage looked helpless and embarrassed.

Everyone arrived, Zhang Lan sat on the high stool in front of the scales, watched the weighing, and several ladies filled the bag with apples, and after weighing, the rest of the men pushed the wheelbarrow and creaked the apples to the side of the road and put them away, and waited until the afternoon came to the car to facilitate loading.

The great Grandpa Mao is not wrong at all, it is really a good thing that there are many people, there are many people, the power of many people is great, and the flame of everyone collecting firewood is high, with the efforts of so many people, it only took half a day, Uncle Li's family and the rest of the total 24,000 catties (12 tons) of apples were all weighed, 4,000 catties more than originally expected. Although it is a bit of a reason, but in the end, I gritted my teeth, more than I wanted, as long as I could pull it away, a group of sheep was also released, and a sheep was also released, what were you afraid of him?

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Battalion Commander Wang personally drove a People's Liberation Army truck with two soldiers, and it can be seen that Battalion Commander Wang also attaches great importance to this cooperation. The army green body is very beautiful, and it was cleaned before Battalion Commander Wang came. The carriage was covered with a military green canvas, and anyone who has watched TV knows that it is the kind of car with a green canvas in the back and a group of GIs in it.

Everyone spread a thick layer of wheat straw on the bottom of the carriage, and the soft wheat straw can play a good cushioning role to prevent the apples from being damaged by the hard car plate. There are many people loading the car quickly, and after a while, the boss has a bunch of apples all loaded, sealed the car, and everyone rushed to Zhang Lan's house to drink to celebrate today's fruitful results and wish Zhang Lan's father a smooth journey and a smooth business this time.

At first, Zhang Lan was a little worried about whether so many apples could be loaded, but he didn't expect that there would be some places where 24,000 catties of apples were loaded into the car. Zhang Lan had to sigh that things were so magical, looking at the car with only a little bit of belly, it was really impossible for people to look good, and cars to fight.

The car left at night, and arrived in Jinan early the next morning, just in time for all kinds of fruit sellers to wait for the goods in the wholesale market, and they could come back in the afternoon after the goods were sold.

The banquet was full of excitement. Seeing that the two PLA soldiers who were drivers were just eating vegetables and not drinking a drop of alcohol, Zhang Lan was relieved and didn't have to worry about the safety of this trip. In the 80s, there were very few cars in Yimeng, and there were almost no private cars, and there was no need to worry about car accidents on the road.

After eating, it was already more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, but it was the end of summer, the sun was still quite high, and everyone was chatting and resting. Zhang Lan came to his father's side, pestering the old man to take him along, the old man resolutely did not do it, this is a job that needs to stay up late at night, the temperature is still low at night, how can Zhang Zongjun be willing to follow his own baby bump to follow him to suffer this crime is to resolutely disagree.

After Zhang Lan used coquettishness, cheating, pretending to be cute and many other means, the old man still resolutely disagreed, without him, the old man knew this son too well, and he knew that Zhang Lan's conspiracy would never succeed. With nothing to do, Zhang Lan had to give up in despair.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told his old man: "Dad, don't be busy shipping after tomorrow morning, first find a place not far from the market to listen to the car, and inquire about the wholesale price in the past, saving losses." Well, when you send Battalion Commander Wang back to the station, you unload 500 catties of apples and give them to the soldiers to taste. Deepen the relationship. ”

Zhang Zongjun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then understood what his son meant, and quickly agreed.
