After dinner, those who came to help went back, leaving only their own family in the room. At this time, Zi Peng brewed tea and poured a cup for each of them. Big brother Wen Tian drank a cup of tea and was about to return with his sister-in-law. Zi Peng walked them to the door. Wen Zhan and his wife stayed in Hun Jiang because of their family. Zi Peng and Brother Wen Zhan were drinking tea and chatting. Amongst the three of them, the most suitable ones were number two and number three. Every time Wen Zhan came back, he would stay at Zi Peng Clan, and he rarely went to his big brother's house. Perhaps it was because of his personality. After drinking a mouthful of tea, Zi Peng said:
”Wen Zhan, Master went. I feel that there are quite a few things missing from this room, it's a bit empty. ”When you guys leave tomorrow, it will be even emptier.”
”second brother, actually, my heart isn't feeling well at all when I die. When we first came here, I was only 9 years old and had just gotten the hang of it. The next year, my grandpa sent me to the seventh team of elementary schools. At that time, the family was very poor and still owed a lot of debt. It's even more difficult for me to go to school in these difficult days. I finished primary school and went to middle school, all thanks to my lord. Even though I'm a worker now, it all has to do with going to school. second brother, do you think I can feel it? Uncle treated me like his own. I left home as a worker, I didn't have time to be filial to him, thanks to the second brother you for me. Therefore, I am also very grateful to you. ” Wen Zhan said excitedly.
”Wen Zhan, all of these are already in the past, why are you still mentioning it? No matter what, the old man was still a blessing in disguise. All these years, his life had been better, he did not need to worry about food or clothes, and he could even listen to the radio and watch TV. It could be considered that he had enjoyed a few years of blessings. However, once he leaves, he would be able to dodge quite a bit. ” Wen Zhan raised his teacup, took a sip of the tea, placed the cup down, and said:
”second brother, when we first came, I didn't want to call him grandpa. He thought to himself: Can you treat us well after finding someone else? There was no bottom to his heart, and he couldn't make a turn for a long time. But later on, he was sincere to us. He then replied, ”Lu Yao is just a person of great power. It's been a long time since I've seen the people of the world.” After that, I called him grandpa. I really didn't expect him to be so good to us in the future. ”
”Third brother, I am a bit of a blabbermouth. However, that was for our own good. Think about it. If he hadn't raised us, would you have become a worker? Can I be the secretary of the brigade? ”No matter what, I will do my best for you.”
The two of them drank tea as they talked, and before they knew it, it was dark. At this time, the mother came over and said:
”You two bros aren't done talking yet. Everyone's waiting for you to eat?”
After dinner, they did not speak for the entire night. The morning of the second day, Wen Zhan and his wife went back to the Hun Jiang. Zipeng didn't work today, he had to pack up his things. The old man had gone. His things had basically been cremated, so the room needed to be rearranged.
At this moment, her mother's mood was worse than anyone else's. She had tears in her eyes and would not easily let them drop. Although mother and foster father were not husband and wife since they were young, they had lived together for 25 years. Twenty-five years of time, could it be said that he had no feelings? There had been times when they had quarrelled; there had been times when they had been unhappy. But that was because the family was poor, and there was no end to eating; it was because there was no money. 25 years of time could be said to be the journey of a person's half a lifetime. He and his mother were also husband and wife for half a lifetime! Now that he was gone, his mother was alone, not a single person to talk to. Do you think my mother will be able to calm down?
At this moment, Zi Peng saw through his mother's thoughts and knew what she was thinking. and came over to my mother and said,
”Mother, your grandpa has left. He's having a great time, don't be sad anymore.” People can't be revived when they die. What if you get too sad and fall ill? Mother, starting from tonight, let Cheng Hua, Tsinghua and Yu Hua accompany you to sleep. ” Mother nodded in agreement …
Zi Peng came out of his room. He wanted to use this time to take a breath of fresh air. He suddenly recalled that he had forgotten about the ginseng because his foster father had passed away in the past few days. I wonder if there's anything wrong with the five drapers now? He strolled over to the ginseng garden and saw that it was alright. The ginseng was very spirited, and there was nothing wrong with it. The growth was vigorous, dense and lush, with seeds growing on the top of the ginseng. Seeing this, Zi Peng's heart finally relaxed.
Since the fall of 1984, Zi Peng had planted these five ginseng curtains. After careful management, he had succeeded. Originally, there was a chopstick as thick as chopsticks, but now, there was a carrot as thick as chopsticks. Previously, there was a No. 8 chopstick as thick as chopsticks, but now, there was a thumb as thick as chopsticks. After unearthing, each plant had three forks, also known as three leaves; now there were six forks, all six leaves. In these three short years, he came to see her almost every day, sometimes even several times a day. One night, he had to get up at least three times. Right now, the water color of the ginseng was really pleasing, he was really happy for it.
Zi Peng thought to himself, ”Although this autumn, ginseng could be unearthed and exchanged for money, but I can't let my guard down.” Don't forget, there's still a summer to go. A hot, rainy, sick summer. All diseases are acquired at high temperatures and in hot weather. Summer is the most suitable time for the breeding and spreading of germs. If there was the slightest negligence, everything would have been for naught. They would have been wiped out. They would have lost everything. Therefore, he kept reminding himself to take medicine on time and pour water every half month. This year was the last year, and he still had to catch up with her again.
Ever since Wang Zipeng became the Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village, he had been doing the work of gathering medicine and watering water early in the morning. He had never interfered with the work just to manage the ginseng. He thought: There's nothing to do today anyway. First, I'll ferment the bean cake in the morning, then I'll water it in the afternoon, and then I'll take another shot tomorrow morning. After that, I can go straight to work. He had been at home for three days, and he had no idea how the village work was progressing. Although Deng Chunming told him to rest at home for a few more days, he was still worried about the matters of the village. Besides, people should know their own worth, so he should take the initiative. Right now, his adoptive father's funeral was over. Today, he would pour water on the ginseng once more. Tomorrow, he could go to the village and work. As he thought of this, a smile appeared on his face. He cut the bean cake into thin pieces and put it in the water jar. Then, he used a plastic cloth to tighten the opening to prevent air from entering the bowl. This way, the fermentation would be very fast.
