Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 17 Urban Rural People

"I really didn't lie! That's my car, and the license plate number is specially bought for my birthday..." Dajin Ring was extremely anxious, and he couldn't figure out why it took only a few minutes before and after, so he put it in his pocket phone disappeared?And what's even more bizarre is that the wallet and car keys are gone, no one approached me just now!

"The license plate number?" Su Mu looked over, "I can remember it at a glance. I said it's my birthday. Who has any objection?"

The onlookers started to boo and laugh, and the patrolman asked Da Jinhuan sternly, "Did you beat this old man? How many times did you kick him? Why did you use force against the old man?"

He was so angry that he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Why can't I tell you clearly! I really didn't lie to you, this car belongs to me; I also made the call to the police; the video of that kid beating me was recorded, but My cell phone, wallet and car keys are really gone! I didn’t hit him much, just pushed and shoved him a few times, and he didn’t admit that he rowed my car, I was in a hurry..."

"Pushing? Your pushing is really a technical job. You can push big footprints on people? If I hadn't stopped you just now, you still wanted to slap the old man! Oh, by the way, where is your cousin? The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? Why don't we call the deputy director to comment?"

Su Mu is usually a mild-tempered person, and rarely has any grudges with others, but at this time, he is pressing every step of the way to fight against injustices.

Seeing that Dajin Ring's cheeks were flushed and speechless, the patrolman knew that he was wronged, so he supported the old man and said, "Master, please make a record with us, and we will take you to the hospital for a physical examination after he is punished."

"No, no, no, I dare not go!" Hearing this, the old man waved his hands hurriedly, broke free from the patrolman's support, and said in a low voice: "Just make it clear, I don't own the car, so don't blackmail me; I'll do it twice." Now, I won’t blackmail him, it’s settled now, I won’t go to the police station! I’m leaving now, I have to sell the toon for a good price while it’s fresh!”

"Hey, sir, don't be afraid..." The patrolman wanted to persuade him to take a record, but Da Jinhuan didn't know if he was afraid of taking responsibility and compensating for medical expenses. While they were dragging the old man, he suddenly ran away !

"Catch him quickly, he must be a fraudster, otherwise he won't run away with a guilty conscience!" A patrolman beckoned his companions to chase after him immediately.

When they had all run away, Su Mu hurried forward and grabbed the shoulder pole that the old man had just picked up, "Master, my store is not far from here, you go and have a rest and drink some water, and I will carry it for you." .”

He knows that old people are timid and dare not do anything, but when they are old, they have to take it easy no matter what.

What's more, when Su Mu saw the elderly country man, he couldn't help but think of his grandfather.

I heard from my father that when the family was in trouble, my grandfather relied on a pair of shoulder poles to support the family by selling needles and thread brains in the streets and alleys.Although I am not rich with the money I have now, but helping the elderly is a matter of little effort, so I strongly invite the other party to rest in my shop.

The old man was kicked twice in the lower back, and now he also feels a dull pain. Just now, he tried his best to leave because he didn't want to be "arrested" into the police station.

Now the spectators had also dispersed, and he was a little weak physically, so he couldn't hold back the enthusiastic young man, so he handed over the shoulder pole to the other party.

"People are useless when they get old. I thought that the Chinese toon tree at home was growing very well. I bought some fresh Chinese toon to sell some money in the city. Who would have encountered such trouble. Thank you today, if not You, you might be beaten up!" The old man watched the young man help him pick up the pole, felt sore in his heart, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.

"It's just a small effort, don't take it to heart." Su Mu is not very good at carrying a pole, but at least he can barely handle it.

He pushed the frame of his glasses, pointed at the shop in front of him and said with a smile: "I opened a vegetable shop here, you just have a rest, I bought some Chinese toon and sold it in the shop, do you think it will work?"

"Amitabha, I have met a great kind man this time!" The old man became more and more delighted.

"Miao Miao, help the old man get a cup of hot water." As soon as he entered the store, Su Mu leaned his shoulder pole in front of the counter, holding two small bamboo baskets in his hand, and shouted towards the cash register.

Hearing this, Miao Ziyao squeezed out a cup of hot water from the crowd of customers, and saw that he brought back a dirty old man sitting on the sofa in the living room, so she passed the cup over, "Master, drink water first, I'll get some hot water." Wash your face with water."

"Hey, thank you girl." The old man took the water glass, feeling warm in his heart.

Ever since I entered the city in the morning, all I met were blank stares, either being disliked by others for crossing the street and walking slowly;

I wanted to find a place to set up a street stall, but who knows that there are no vacant stalls in places with many people; no one buys in places with few people; and formal markets require entrance fees and health certificates.In short, after half a morning, he didn't know where to go to sell this toon.

"Master, how much is your Chinese toon per catty?" Su Mu sorted it out, the toon buds were neatly bundled, each one was fresh and tender, with a strong aroma, it must have been grown by himself.

The old man had just washed his hands and face with the hot water brought by Miao Ziyao, and then patted the dust on his body. He said with a simple and honest smile, "This is from a few Chinese toon trees planted in my home, so I plan to sell them fresh. I I asked someone else, and they said that Chinese toon is now 25 catties, young man, you have a good heart, and I will give you 21 catties. I don’t know exactly how many catties I bought, but I have to trouble you to weigh it.”

"Let's still calculate according to the market price, Miao Miao, you name it."

Miao Ziyao brought in the electronic scale and weighed the toon buds, which weighed 31 catties in total.

Just after writing down the catty and unit price in the notebook, Su Mu calmly took the pen, changed 31 to 37, and motioned her to give the old man the money.

"Master, look at the total price of 37 catties." Su Mu adjusted the electronic scale a few times to let him see the displayed price.

The old man squinted his eyes and saw "37" on it. He smiled and said, "I think thirty catties at most is about the same. I didn't expect that now I'm not even sure about the weight of the burden. Okay, it's 37." catty."

"She will bring you the money, let's chat for a while." Su Mu pushed the fruit plate in front of the old man and chatted with him about homework.

After chatting, I found out that the old man's surname is Zhang, and he is known as Mr. Zhang.

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang used to be an out-and-out rural person. A few years ago, his two sons started from scratch and started a prosperous business in the city, so they brought the old couple here to enjoy the blessings.

The old couple stayed in the city for a few years and they are getting older. The two sons are very high-minded. In order to expand their business in the city and make money, they persuaded Mr. Zhang to sell the land and house in his hometown. Ready to make your city home with peace of mind.Unexpectedly, within two years of peaceful life, the business of the sons became more and more difficult, and the family moved from the big house to the small house.

People are going to be unlucky, and drinking cold water will stuff their teeth.

First, the eldest son was driving a delivery car and collided with another car. Not only was the car crashed, but he was also judged to be mainly responsible. In the second year, the younger son was found to have advanced brain cancer. A large debt.The two daughters-in-law and their children married far away, leaving only Mr. Zhang and his old couple to take care of the funeral.

After selling everything that could be sold, and finally paying off the debt, Mr. Zhang and his wife had nothing to rely on.

The household registrations of the old couple did not move to the city; the house and land in their hometown also disappeared, and the rest are old relatives who have not seen each other for many years, and there is no one to turn to.

So he took his wife and rented a small farmyard in the suburbs, and made a living by growing a la carte in the yard and raising a few chickens and ducks by himself.When his own things in the village could not be sold, Mr. Zhang would often come to the city with a pole to sell melons, fruits, vegetables, and fresh eggs. As typical urban and rural people, they could only rely on these to make a living.

A few days ago, my wife caught a cold due to the cool wind. Mr. Zhang, who was not rich, picked some young shoots from a dozen toon trees planted on the slope behind the house, and planned to go to the city to sell them for money for his wife to see a doctor.Unexpectedly, today was not going well at all. Not only did it not sell for money, but it was beaten up for no reason.

Mr. Zhang talked about his experience in the past few years, while smoking the cigarette he rolled.

I don't know if it was because of the strong smell of smoke or Miao Ziyao, who was counting the money, had red eyes after hearing the misfortune of his old couple.

"Third Master, did you come to the city with your own load in the morning?" Seeing that he had finished drinking the water, Su Mu quickly poured some more, and asked casually.

"That's not true. It would cost a few dollars to come here by car. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I can exercise and save money by walking here by myself, as long as I can walk home in Linhei."

Su Mu saw that the time was past eleven o'clock, and told Miao Ziyao, "Cook more for lunch today, and I'll keep the third master for lunch."

"That can't be done, I can't cause you any more trouble, I'm going home now!" Mr. Zhang got up quickly, for fear of causing trouble to others.

"Third Master, please sit down and listen to me." Su Mu hurriedly let him sit back on the sofa, pushed the frame of his glasses and said with a smile: "I didn't treat you to dinner for nothing, I have something else to ask of you. You also saw me The business in the store has been booming, but the vegetables here are relatively simple, seeing how good your Chinese toon sprouts are, I plan to order a batch of Chinese toon sprouts from you to sell, okay?"

"Do you harvest Chinese toon buds here?" Mr. Zhang looked distressed, "It's just that I have planted a few Chinese toon trees in total, I'm afraid there are not many. The time to eat this food is also short, you should find a big merchant to cooperate."

"No need for big merchants. My small store is just to get some new things to try. Today at noon, let's add scrambled eggs with Chinese toon sprouts to taste the taste first. After dinner, I will accompany you to the suburban village , I just have other things to do.” Su Mu really had other purposes this time, he wanted to take his family over to live in the city, and he had to rent a piece of land in the suburbs to specialize in agriculture, otherwise he would spend all day in the space Isn't it too unfree to grow vegetables in the garden?
Furthermore, Mr. Zhang is not easy, I can't just watch him walk back by himself.As the saying goes, a good person will do it to the end, so he just sent the old man home safely, and he just happened to go to the suburbs to check the land lease situation.

Miao Ziyao cooked a hearty lunch.

The store closed before twelve o'clock, and she and Pang Pang had a clear division of labor, washing vegetables, cooking vegetables and steaming rice.

After a short time, Chinese toon scrambled eggs, ground three delicacies, shredded pork with pepper, tofu with minced meat, and shredded hot and sour potatoes, meat and vegetables were placed on the table.They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are very easy to eat. With the delicious dishes, Mr. Zhang ate three big bowls of rice by himself!
