I live in the countryside

Chapter 185 Grandma's Persistence (Double Changes Into One)

After the busy farming period in August, the logistics store that Qiao Chengcai and Qiao Chengshu cooperated with began to operate.

The address and store were selected by the Agricultural Economic Society. The car was a second-hand pickup truck they bought in the city. It takes practice.

And these operations need to be done on the computer. In terms of information, the two brothers are very lacking. They often have to say it several times to understand. Novices start the road and stumble, but there are members of the Agricultural Economic Society to help them with this matter. Getting started and doing simple training, it can be considered that I passed the days safely in a panic, without any major problems.

Although the logistics has been done, in fact, the logistics demand of Wuxi Town is not large at present. Half of the first batch of orders are the Taobao shop of the editor-in-chief cooperative of Hengshan Village, and daily necessities purchased online by people in the town. , and many of them turned out to be products sent to Qiao Mei by advertisers.

Qiao Mei discussed with Qiao Churan before, and Qiao Churan also gave some corresponding suggestions, so Qiao Mei accepted some simple food advertisements.

Some are small snacks, some are fresh products, fruits, and other geographical indication products, because Qiaomei itself started making food videos, and many of the advertisements that follow are also food products. In the follow-up video production, the ingredients sent by the advertisers are mainly used for cooking and relatively invisible advertising promotion.

She gave away too many things. She advertised and she couldn't use up what she used, so she gave some to the neighbors, and let everyone taste it and tell her.

The neighbors were naturally willing to accept it, and they even walked around with them more often.

One day, a family of relatives in the village came from the county seat and learned that Qiao Mei, who was quite famous, lived in Qingxi Village. It made the villagers feel novel, and even joked that Qiao Mei could start a restaurant.

Qiao Mei has no idea of ​​building a restaurant, she just feels lucky that the things she makes can be loved by so many people.

Now that the busy farming time has passed, many people are free. On weekends, there are many sisters-in-law in the Qiao family, so you invite me, and I invite your team to go to the county town on smartphones.

But the women in the country didn't know how to buy these electronic products, and they didn't know what kind of products to buy, so they recruited Qiao Chengcai, who transported logistics and express between the county town and Wuxi Town.

The group went to the county seat in a hurry, and in the evening, they came back in a hurry. Obviously, they all bought mobile phones that they were satisfied with, and the voice of talking on the road could be heard several houses away.

After returning, he only knew how to turn on the phone and make calls. He didn't know how to use other functions that required the Internet, so he began to find Chen Mei and Si Auntie, who had already learned how to use smartphones, to teach them how to use them.

But even though Chen Mei bought a smartphone for more than half a year, she doesn’t know much about it. She just knows how to watch videos and chat on QQ. In the end, she recruited young people from the village to help them download the app and teach them how to use it.

A group of people applied for a QQ account and created a QQ group. The greatest joy is that even in person, they like to send messages to each other in the group, experimenting with functions, like a child who has just learned to do certain things. But it's also fun to watch.

During this period of time, because of the construction of the greenhouse and the unmanned base, and the work to be done in Wuxi Town, Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou were so busy that they didn't touch the ground until mid-August, when they gradually relaxed.

One thing worth mentioning is that both Qiao Yiyao and Zhou Yang had very good grades in the high school entrance examination. They were successfully admitted by the city middle school and became Wuxi Town Middle School. Among the six students admitted by the city middle school this year, the only two of two boys.

The town middle school regarded the two as textbooks for counterattacks. Even though the two did not come back from the summer camp, the town and the school gate still pulled up huge banners to celebrate the two people being admitted to the market. , is also a huge banner.

Qiao's face was honored, and even grandma's had heard about it, and many people even went to grandma's to say congratulations.

In the countryside, being promoted to high school is a big event, and some people who pay attention to it will hold banquets to celebrate.

Grandma was so overjoyed that she called and asked Qiao Churan when Qiao Yiyao would be back.

Qiao Churan said: "There is still a week before I can come back. Don't worry, grandma. The boy is out in the wild, and he is already too happy to leave. Besides, school will only start in September. Don't worry. After a few days after he comes back, he should go In the city."

Grandma also knew that Qiao Yiyao had gone to Beicheng and hadn't seen her grandson for a long time. When she heard about such a happy event, she was also happy, and quietly said to Qiao Churan, "I sealed a big red envelope for him, and waited for him to come back. Just give it to him, I know this kid must be a smart kid, and there are no kids in our family who are not smart."

Qiao Churan laughed, and coaxed the old man: "Yes, yes, after all, my grandma is so good, there is no reason why grandchildren are not good."

The old man was coaxed to be happy by her, but he turned his face back and said: "Don't think that if you coax me to be happy, I can easily forgive you. It's been a long time since I agreed to bring Xiao Qin back to meet me. I haven't even seen the face of my grandson-in-law, if you don't bring it back, don't tell me when you get married."

This is a huge crime, how could Qiao Churan agree to it.

"I won't tell you when I get married, who can I tell, if others can come, my grandmother who loves me the most must come."

Grandma couldn't hold back her face: "Sweet talk."

Qiao Churan said truthfully: "It is indeed during this time, we are both too busy, grandma, we will go back to see you this weekend."

The old man was not very happy when he heard her say busy in the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he laughed from ear to ear again, and immediately agreed.

On the weekend, Qiao Churan really took Qin Muzhou to Liu Village to meet her grandmother.

Grandma had actually seen Qin Muzhou's photos and knew what he looked like, but when she saw such a tall and handsome boy, she even smiled.

What a handsome boy, standing with her family Ranran, as if he came out of a painting, very right.

Although Qin Muzhou met his grandmother for the first time, he was not at all cautious. After entering the door, he greeted the old man humbly: "Hi, grandma."

This grandma's cry was unambiguous. If Qiao Churan didn't know that it was the first time she brought him here, she would have thought that he and grandma had known each other for a long time.

Qin Muzhou spoke Mandarin, which grandma could understand basically, and even grinned from ear to ear: "Well, well, he's really a handsome boy. It's just right to be with our family."

Qin Muzhou smiled modestly: "It's my honor."

Grandma belongs to the category where the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she is satisfied. When she sees Qin Muzhou, her mind is no longer on her granddaughter.

Qiao Churan was slightly dissatisfied, and she held her grandmother's arm coquettishly: "Grandma, you can't see me now, and you only care about other people's children in your heart, so you don't love me anymore."

Grandma laughed even more happily when she heard a sentence, and raised her hand to scrape the tip of her granddaughter's nose: "How old is he, and he still eats his boyfriend's jealousy, grandma sees Xiao Qin's good-looking, why don't you take a few more glances? "

Qiao Churan: "Hmph!"

Qin Muzhou looked at Qiao Churan from the side, smiling gently.

Because I said in advance that Qin Muzhou was coming today, my uncle and aunt all came back from the city. At this time, the tile-roofed house of my grandmother's house was full of people, including cousins, and the elders. Cousin's child.

Qiao Churan then introduced Qin Muzhou's relatives from his grandmother's side. They were handsome and talented people. Not to mention anything else, the aunts just looked at his appearance and Qin Muzhou's humble attitude. Very satisfied.

As usual, he asked about his family situation and work situation, and Qin Muzhou answered them truthfully.

I heard from Chen Mei before that there was a project in Qingxi Village, which was done by Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan, but Chen Mei didn't understand these things, and really thought it was just a study on how to grow cantaloupe. Now I heard Qin Muzhou explain it in more detail. , I realized that things are more than that simple.

Uncles and aunts are just ordinary people. Wherever they have come into contact with such a major event as the unmanned project, although Qin Muzhou speaks in a few words, he also knows how complicated it is beyond their imagination.

Uncle sighed: "Xiao Qin is a person with great ability."

Qin Muzhou shook his head: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and if I can achieve this step, Ranran's support for me is more important."

The uncle said: "You two are both excellent. It is good to do what others dare not do and what others cannot do."

As he said that, he asked his little cousin to learn from Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou: "Learn from your cousin and cousin's husband. You must study hard and become a person of great ability in the future."

The little cousin is now about to enter the middle school age. He is very novel about everything and has a more cheerful personality. Although he dislikes his father's old-fashioned words, he still gets along well with Qin Muzhou soon. After learning that Qin Muzhou is doing Robot-like things have light in their eyes.

For a while, he pestered Qin Muzhou asking questions, and his mouth never stopped.

The people sitting in the hall couldn't help laughing.

Qin Muzhou wasn't impatient at all, and while talking to his little cousin, he delivered the peeled apple to Qiao Churan's hand.

The two were used to getting along like this, and unconsciously, they saw the elders nodding secretly, looking at Chen Mei, expressing that a good thing was really coming for these two children.

It's not just that a good thing is coming, Chen Mei pouted her chin and looked at the ring on Qiao Churan's hand. The eyes of the crowd looked at the two young people, and they became more and more ambiguous.

Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou were still ignorant, talking to their cousins, and even cousins.

The eldest cousin is only two years older than Qiao Churan, and now she has given birth to a two-year-old child. The little girl's nickname is Xiao Tiandou. At first, she was a little cautious towards Qin Muzhou and Qiao Churan, but later she entangled them If you want a hug, it falls on Qin Muzhou's lap, not even your father.

"Go back to her house with Cousin Ranran tonight?" The eldest cousin teased her daughter.

The little girl was sitting on Qin Muzhou's lap, and responded softly when she heard the words: "I want to sleep with Biaogu Ranran."

"Then don't you want mom and dad?"

The little girl was still thinking, and after thinking for a while, she grabbed Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou's hand and said, "If you want Mom and Dad, you also need Cousin Ranran. Little Sweet Bean belongs to Mom and Dad, but you only need Cousin Ranran Just go down."

Tongyan Tongyu makes people laugh.

Qiao Churan pinched the little girl's face; "Why are you so domineering?"

The little girl blinked her cute big eyes: "Biao Ran Ran is pretty, and so is Uncle Cousin. Little Sweet Dou likes it!"

Qiao Churan was coaxed to be happy, and kissed Little Sweet Bean several times in succession.

The eldest cousin said helplessly; "This little girl is really good-looking, so she pounces on her. I'm really worried that she will be abducted by some brat when she grows up."

Qiao Churan smiled and said, "Little Sweet Bean is only three years old now, are you thinking too far?"

The eldest cousin didn't take it seriously: "When you have children, you will understand this kind of feeling. I think Muzhou will understand it more deeply. If you really have a little girl, you have to worry about her from the time she was born until she grows up. .”

I have to worry about growing up.

Qiao Churan doesn't seem to understand this kind of mood. Children have their own growth and planning. It's normal for parents to worry, but it seems that there is no need to be so nervous. Besides, Little Sweet Bean is still so young. She will be sensible when she grows up Yes.

So she turned her head to look at Qin Muzhou, only to see that Qin Muzhou seemed to have considered it carefully, and then nodded very approvingly: "My cousin-in-law is right."

Qiao Churan: "..."

Yes, what is it? Yes, your daughter doesn't know where she is yet.

The cousin smiled and said, "That's fine, take Little Sweet Bean away tonight, you guys will learn how to be parents in advance."

When Little Sweet Bean heard this, she immediately clapped her hands: "Okay, okay."

A group of people roared with laughter again.

All in all, Qin Muzhou's visit to his grandmother's house earned him a good impression.

This good looks can be said to be accepted by men, women and children, especially in the back, when he showed his skills in cooking himself, his grandmother and uncle praised him, and he was very satisfied with him. The uncle even said: "When you come back after the New Year, let the Lord Muzhou I'll be the chef, and I'll have to give up the position of the chef in the future, after eating this meal, I don't think much of the dishes I cook anymore."

Qin Muzhou said slowly, "I can't ask for it."

During this time, although Qiao Churan and Qin Muzhou were busy with unmanned bases and greenhouses, the rest of the work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yuan Hao told Qiao Churan before that he wanted to visit grandma, and he did come to visit later, because it was placed at the door, uncle and the others did not reject it very much, but grandma wanted to use her craftsmanship Handed down.

This time, while my uncle and others were at home, I brought up this matter again.

Grandma's attitude is still the same as before: "I'm in good health now, if you don't let me do it, then don't worry about it, I will do it, just keep me at home, Ren Xiaoyuan doesn't want me to go to it every day There, I can go and have a look when I have free time. Now he comes to the door every now and then, not to mention that I only have a loom here. Can the people who come here listen to a few words? I don’t know how well he is learning, isn’t it Wasting time?"

Grandma felt that she was still in good health. After Yuan Hao came to ask for advice, she decided to go to the brocade weaving workshop in the town to carry forward her brocade weaving skills.

When my grandmother was young, her father was a local landlord with good living conditions, and her mother was a well-known local Weaver Girl. However, she defeated the landlord and her life changed. She supported a large family with her mother’s weaving skills. The craft has been inherited, and now that she is old, the biggest regret is that none of her daughters can inherit her craft.

The old man has feelings that ordinary people cannot understand about the craftsmanship that he relied on for his livelihood when he was young.

However, my uncle and aunts were worried about her going out, and unanimously opposed it.

At this time, while everyone was at home, she brought up this matter again.

"I have been doing brocade weaving since I was a child. My mother taught me a craft. Is it possible that I will bring it into the coffin shop? If you don't carry it out, no one will inherit it. If you don't let me go out to teach others, none of you will have it." Inherit my craft."

The eldest grandma was upset. She hadn't reprimanded anyone like this since her uncles and aunts had grown up.

The uncles and aunts bowed their heads and said kindly: "Mom, it's not, you see we are not at home, in case something happens to you..."

"What can happen to me? Is it possible that Xiao Yuan will force me to do heavy work? I don't know if I can do it. All of you are thinking that you are not at home. In order not to trouble you, I will give us old people It’s for our own good to restrict this or that, but I think it’s for your convenience.”

The uncles and aunts were speechless for a while, "Mom, there is no such thing..."

Grandma has also talked about this matter several times. My uncles and aunts have always disagreed. We can't let the old man keep getting angry about this matter. It won't be worth it if he gets angry.

Now that grandma is so persistent, my uncle also knows that she can't let go of brocade. In previous years, even if no one used brocade to make clothes, grandma couldn't help but use the loom to weave two or three feet of brocade every year. .

She tidied everything up, no one inherited it, and she would take it away when she got old.

Hearing her insistence at this moment, he said: "I know you like to do these things, and we don't want to completely oppose it, but we are just worried about your health. Is it okay, Mom, let's go to the county hospital for a physical examination sometime. If there is nothing wrong with your health, we will promise you."

Letting go to this extent, the corner of grandma's lips couldn't help but smile: "I think you guys just want to fool me into doing some checkups, okay, I know my own body best, just do it, agree Come on, you can't even stop me if there's nothing wrong with me."

"Don't stop!" Uncle seemed to have issued a guarantee.

Grandma couldn't help muttering and sighing as she spoke: "All my life, I've been working hard for you brothers and sisters. I'm old and I still worry about it. Now it's time to start doing some things I liked when I was young."

"It's as if I want to die again."

Grandma just sighed casually, but she didn't like it when she heard it from the juniors, especially Qiao Churan and other grandchildren.

We are always the easiest to forget the needs of the elderly, thinking that they don't understand anything and can't keep up with the pace of young people.

But who would have imagined that before they became mothers, grandmas, and the wrinkles on their faces were not pulled out by time and life, they were also young and young girls?
