leisurely little farmer

Chapter 32
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Long was still sleeping more soundly on the bed, dreaming sweet dreams.Zhao Long's mother had already gotten up early to pack her things.

"Son, didn't you say you were going to move today? Mom woke up early and packed a lot of things. Get up quickly." Zhao Long's mother said.

Zhao Long opened his sleeping eyes, looked at the time on the phone and said, "My god! It's only 05:30. Let's sleep for another half an hour." Zhao Long fell asleep with his head covered as he spoke.

"Brother! You big slob, wake up, my aunt said that I'm going to move today, so I got up, get up, slob!" Tingting said as she pulled Zhao Long's quilt.

"Uh, no, I wanted to sleep just now, this girl!" Zhao Long said helplessly.

"Brother, get up, get up right away." Saying that, Zhao Long wanted to get up.

Tingting saw that Zhao Long was about to get up and ran out with a smile. Zhao Long didn't know what he was laughing at, so he lifted the blanket and got up. Suddenly, she thought that she was exposed when she woke up in front of Tingting. She looked at herself and said: " I'll go! It was almost exposed again, but fortunately Tingting ran fast, knowing that my brother is always so careless."

Getting up and getting dressed quickly, Zhao Long took the toothbrush and hurried to brush his teeth.At this time, my mother had already sorted out several large packages, leaving only a few other simple large items that had not been cleaned up.

"Mom, what are these bags? Where did you find them?" Zhao Long asked.

"Here are all the clothes my mother wore when she was young. It has been decades old. There is also an old-fashioned photo taken when I took a wedding photo with your father, and other things are here. This is the equivalent of my It's the bottom of the box." Zhao Long's mother said with emotion.

"Wow! Let's see what's in the bottom of mom's box." Zhao Long said in surprise.

Zhao Long opened one of the big bags, and the first thing he saw was a bright long dress similar to a cheongsam with slits on the side. Zhao Long's mother said, "Son, the dress you got was the one when your father married me. The only fashionable dress I wear, doesn't it look good?"

"Mom! At what age did you marry my dad? You never told me about the time when you met and got married." Zhao Long said.

"Well, what's there to say? After so many years, I am already satisfied with having a son like you. At that time, it was really my parents who strongly opposed me marrying your dad. In order to be with your dad , I had a big fight with my parents, and it was very loud." Zhao Long's mother said with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, let's move first. In the evening, after we moved to the old house, you are telling me the story, and let me understand your situation at that time. Why do you disagree. Let's move now." Zhao Long said.

"Okay, let's have a good talk tonight." Zhao Long's mother said.

Tingting on the side also ran over and said, "Auntie, I also listen to it at night. I like listening to stories the most. Tell me too."

"Okay, then Auntie will talk to you two tonight." Zhao Long's mother replied as if determined.

Immediately, Zhao Long, his mother and Tingting began to pack things, sorting out the big and small bags.

"Brother, why is there a braid in this little bottle, whose?" Tingting said holding a braid.

Zhao Long's mother smiled and said, "Your brother's, I cut it out when I was a child, and I'll receive it for him now."

Tingting smiled and said, "Hey! Brother, are you a girl? Your braids are so long, haha"

Looking at his little braids, Zhao Long also thought of the people in the village who cut his braids. At that time, they all scratched his scalp, and he cried a lot.

"This is your brother's heirloom, what do you know, little girl? Hurry up and put it away, hurry up and organize things!" Zhao Long said, holding back his laughter.

Zhao Long tidied up the things at home, and was attracted by many things from the past, and his thoughts continued to reminisce about the past when he was a child.

Zhao Long sorted out these things, and felt that what life is like is that time flies by and glances at thousands of years!
After tidying up all the things, at this time, the village chief walked into Zhao Long's house. Seeing that Zhao Long's family was sorting things out, Cun Zhao asked, "What is this for? Are they all out to dry?" It has been a long time and it is really necessary to dry the furniture, and some corners are moldy." The village chief said.

Zhao Long's mother looked up and saw that it was the village chief who was talking, and said hurriedly: "Village chief, come and sit down quickly. Zhao Long said that he moved today, and the old house has been repaired for a few days. The sun is not low these days, and the old house The house and the rest of the exterior walls have dried out too, so, we're moving today.

"Village chief, come and smoke a cigarette! Is there something wrong with the village chief?" Zhao Long asked.

"Well, it's like this for you. I just came from your irrigation pond. After looking at the situation, the masters have already started to work. Your pond project is not small. I want to ask if there is still a shortage of manpower. What's the matter, what do I need to say hello to the villagers, our village has not done such a big job for many years, and the skills of the villagers are almost useless." The village chief said

"Village chief, I really need the village chief to call a few villagers to help me tidy up the house. This big TV, refrigerator and so on, although the furniture is almost unusable, and Haas It is very important, I need a few people to help carry these things to the old house." Zhao Long said.

"That's fine, I'll find some people for you in a while, don't worry about that, you move all these small things, big and small bags first, and find a few people to help you move these big things in a while .Six people enough?" said the village chief.

"Thank you so much, grandpa, the village chief. Come to the village chief, let's drink some water on a hot day." Zhao Long hurriedly handed over the water.

After sitting for a while, the village chief said he was going to find someone for Zhao Long, and left Zhao Long's house.

After Zhao Long, his mother and Tingting sorted out the small and large bags, they began to carry them towards the old house. Because there was no decent car and the road was uneven, Zhao Long and the others carried them little by little with their feet.

an hour or so...

"Zhao Long, is it enough for me to find six people for you?" The village chief said as soon as he entered the door.

"That's enough, let the village chief sit down and have a rest." Zhao Long said, and quickly put cigarettes on the ground for the village chief and six villagers who came to help.

Immediately, Zhao Long said to the six villagers: "Thank you for your hard work, how about this, after you finish these things, I will give you 50 yuan per person. It is such a hot day, I will trouble you."

Several villagers hurriedly said: "Zhao Long, you have led us to catch mussels after you came back from the city and earned almost the money we worked for a year. We should help you with this little favor. In the future, if there is another It’s enough to help our village develop by fishing mussels or other good things, and I can’t ask for your money for such a small favor.”

Zhao Long was very moved when he heard the villagers say this, and quickly took out his cigarette again and said: "For sure, as long as our village can have a good development, I will definitely lead everyone to do it together. Come on, don't worry, just smoke it." After moving the cigarettes, just a few small pieces of furniture, smoke a cigarette and take a rest."

Half an hour later, everyone started to move, Zhao Long also followed, and mother and Tingting moved some small things
Soon the villagers helped Zhao Long move the large pieces of furniture to the old house that had already been cleaned, and put them in the designated location. With a pack of cigarettes, everyone thanked Zhao Long very much, and took the cigarettes and water and went back to farm by himself.

Zhao Long and his mother Tingting quickly moved all their things to the old house. The previous house was also briefly cleaned, and then the door was locked and moved back to the old house.

When I came to the old house, I started to move all the things that were drying outside into the house one by one. After finishing everything, the sun had already set. Zhao Long's mother changed into a cleaner dress and simply put the unfinished food in the refrigerator. The chicken and vegetables were brought out, and dinner was quickly prepared.

Tingting and Zhao Long were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, so they quickly ate. Zhao Long's mother brought out the cornmeal steamed buns, and the three finished their meals quickly.

Looking at such a beautifully renovated home, Zhao Long and his mother were very happy, especially Tingting, who touched the tiles as if discovering a new world.

Time soon came to night, and Tingting said: "I will sleep with my aunt tonight, and listen to her stories. I won't go back. I just ran home and told my dad, hehe."

"This girl, her legs are really fast!" Zhao Long said with a smile.

"Mom, it's been a busy day. We went to bed and watched TV. Mom, my son is very curious about the things between you and dad. I'm so old. Although I haven't talked about emotional things, I can also talk about them." I understand. In fact, I know that it is not easy for you, mom, so my son insists on staying at home, and the development of the countryside must be developed, and more importantly, I really don't want you to be at home alone." Zhao Long said.
