Chapter 217
After spending a few days in Sujia Village, Onigiri has become the village boss. No matter where they go, they are followed by a group of little tails, like a majestic general.
Some people are born to be the boss, let’s just say rice balls, no matter in Qingfeng Town, the capital, or Sujia Village, whether it’s an older child or a small bean, everyone likes to play with him and listen to his orders.
You must know that before the rice **** came, the village child Wang was Xiaobao’s classmate. Of course, they still liked Xiaobao, the boss.
The rice ball was lying on the straw with a dog’s tail grass in its mouth, raised his legs and looked at the flickering clouds in the sky, telling them some interesting things about the capital from time to time, and finally said: “So, you have to study hard, and you will only be able to do it in the future. A chance to see the outside world.”
More than a dozen children lie in a circle around the rice balls, imitating the appearance of rice balls, with Erlang’s legs raised and looking up at the sky, at a glance, they are either barefoot, or rotten sandals, or Jiefang shoes that have been sewed and mended many times. , that is, all the cubs in Su Xiaoxiao’s family wear a pair of plastic sandals on their feet. The rural children these days are quite sad.
Shugen said, “Brother Onigiri, are you really going to leave tomorrow? Brother Xiaobao and Dabao are going with you?”
The rice ball spit out the dog’s tail grass, changed a straw, bit it and spit it out: “Yeah, we have to go, I have something to do when I go back to the capital, and your big brother and Xiaobao have something to do.”
Shugen looked envious, and his eyes were full of yearning: “It’s good, rice ball brother, what does the capital look like? Like us, do you have mountains, water, fields and land?”
The rice ball tilted his head and glanced at the root of the tree, and Xiaoroubao had already answered for him: “It’s different, there is nothing in the capital, just a lot of people, a lot of cars, a tall building, a subway and elevator, delicious food. There are also very large airports, which can fly to large planes as high as the clouds, my little brother still wants to design big planes in the future, isn’t it, little brother?”
Xiaodoubao nodded: “Mom said that we are still young, we can have a lot of ideals and goals now, and we can slowly explore what we want to do most, and we can wait until we decide before college. I know.”
Xiaoroubao and Xiaodoubao have never seen the three treasures of the Su family that Xiaoroubao and Xiaodoubao mentioned, and they are also very longing for it. Since the day they heard that they are going to the capital with the rice ball, they have been excited for several days and have asked countless times. It looks like the airport and the plane, but the old Su family’s family education is very good. The children in the family rarely show off to their friends. Even if they study well, there are many things that other friends don’t have, such as the pair of brand-new plastic feet on their feet. Sandals, they will not show off, they will be more grateful for being happier than others.
They are all things that have never been seen before, and the roots of the tree are naturally unimaginable. He looked forward to it: “Then I also have an ideal now. In the future, I must go to the capital to have a look, take a look at the subway and elevators, look at the airport and big planes, I have to eat a lot of delicious food.”
Xiaoroubao nodded: “Okay, okay, remember to come and play with me when I’m down, and I’ll take you to eat delicious food.”
The children were still chatting, and there was a shout from not far away: “Selling popsicles, ice and sweet big popsicles!”
Things that used to have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives or secretly go to the black market have been bought since the beginning of this summer. The daring fathers dared to bring them to the village to sell them. The big things did not dare to be so blatant, but the small popsicles and small snacks, they Still dare to shout.
Xiaoroubao got up from the haystack, covered his eyes with his hands, glanced across the river, pulled Xiaodoubao’s big rooster bag and said, “Little brother, the uncle who sells popsicles is here, get me Give me your pocket money, and I want to treat everyone to popsicles!”
Xiaoroubao has always been righteous and has no concept of money. The cubs get red envelopes every year and the pocket money they earn. Su Xiaoxiao did not let them turn it over, and the small pockets did not control much. Education is more than a dollar more than the consent of the elder brother or parents can only be.
One or two cents per popsicle is still within the range of Xiaoroubao’s control. The popsicles a few days ago were invited to everyone by a few brothers, so he felt that it should be his turn to treat today.
The rice ball stood up, waved to the other side of the river, and shouted, “Uncle, come this way!”
When the uncle selling popsicles saw this group of children, he immediately burst into joy, and the big business was delivered to his door again, right?
“Come, come, come now!”
Uncle Popsicle unloaded the foam box from the 28th Phoenix Bicycle, and walked across the bridge with his back on his back: “How many people are there today? What flavor do you want to eat?”
Regarding what to eat, Xiaoroubao knows best: “Don’t you only have white popsicles, red bean popsicles and mung bean popsicles?”
Uncle Popsicle smiled mysteriously: “Today is different, there is still this today.” After the uncle finished, he took out a few Wuyang ice creams that were to be melted from the refrigerator.
Xiaoroubao said with a “wow”: “Ice cream!” He was drooling after saying this. He often eats this thing in the capital, and he hasn’t eaten it for so long after coming back.
The other children had already surrounded Uncle Popsicle in the center and kept gulping.
Onigiri tugged at his box and asked with a frown, “Do you only have these few? There are so many of us that we are not enough.”
Uncle Popsicle said, “It’s expensive and hard to keep. If you can’t sell it, you’ll lose it. I don’t dare to take more.”
After counting the people, the rice ball said, “It can only be divided among three people. Do you want to eat?”
Shugen and the others looked me in the eye, and shook their heads while swallowing: “It’s too expensive, you’ve been inviting us to eat popsicles these days, and we don’t have the money to invite us back.”
The so-called gathering of people is divided into groups. There are many bear children these days, but there are also many good children. Generally, those who can play with a few of them are not bad children.
The rice ball said: “It’s okay, we earn the pocket money ourselves, we don’t use the money from our parents, you can rest assured to eat.”
“Where’s my sister? Leave one for my sister, we’ll just divide the three.” Tree Root said.
In their eyes, Xiao Tangyuan is a beautiful little princess. She is good-looking, always smiling, has a good temper, and never dislikes them, so they really like this beautiful sister very much.
Xiao Tangyuan was a very sensible little girl. She shook her head and said, “I like to eat popsicles. Let’s eat ice cream.”
Zhuzi smiled, and the little girl would also tell “white lies”. She obviously likes ice cream. Zhuzi touched her sister’s head and handed her a peeled mung bean popsicle.
The saliva of the tree roots can’t be contained: “Then let’s try it?”
The rice ball distributed several ice cream cones to the older children to hold: “Look at the points, eat quickly, the weather is hot and melts quickly.”
Xiaoroubao watched eagerly, eager to eat, but didn’t say anything.
Xiaodoubao took his younger brother’s hand and said, “Little Roubou, wait until you get back to the capital, my brother invites you to eat three, they only eat it once a year, this time let them eat the ice cream, shall we eat red bean popsicles? ?”
Xiaoroubao bit his fleshy fingers and nodded his head: “Okay, little brother, I know, I’m just a little greedy.”
Zhuzi rubbed his brain and gave him the peeled red bean popsicles: “You don’t have to wait until you go back to the capital, can I buy it for you tomorrow when I arrive in the county town?”
Xiaoroubao smiled and nodded: “Okay!”
Seeing that Brother Onigiri and Brother Xiaobao didn’t have any to eat, Shugen and the others came over with ice cream: “Come and eat, this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life, it’s really good. eat!”
Rice ball: “What nonsense are you talking about, how old are you? Do you know it for a lifetime?”
Tree roots: “It’s delicious anyway, the best!”
In fact, the three treasures of the Su family rarely have the opportunity to eat ice cream, but they have eaten it. If Xiaobao and Yaobao go to the county town, Liang Hongmei will buy them too.
Yaobao is young after all, so he really wants to eat it, but he always listens to his brothers. Seeing his sister eat popsicles, he also wants a mung bean popsicle.
Dabao said: “You can eat it, we can just eat popsicles. Uncle popsicles are not enough today. We will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them tomorrow.”
Tree roots are no longer polite. On average, three children eat each ice cream. Poor rural children think this is the most delicious food in the world. They must study hard, earn pocket money, and grow up. I want to invite them back to eat such delicious ice cream.
Uncle Popsicle has been through the streets for many years, and he has seen people in various forms, watching the children who paid for it eating popsicles, but let the children who have never eaten the ice cream to eat it. I have never seen such a good child.
“You guys will definitely have great prospects in the future.” Uncle Popsicle said before closing the lid of the foam box.
The cubs didn’t think so much, especially the big cubs. Xiaobao and Dabao were not sensible before, but now they know how happier their life is compared to other friends in the village, so many times they They will be very willing to help those in need, and they will also teach them to learn. When they see someone bullying poor children, they will help out with righteousness.
Su Xiaoxiao and Li Yufeng have already packed all their luggage. Now it is no different than driving back in Qingfeng Town by themselves. They can pack as many things as they want. Now they are not only far away, but also have to fly, so many things cannot be brought with them.
The girl said that the plane is strictly controlled, and the luggage cannot be overweight. She can only bring some mountain goods that do not weigh on the scale and the dried radishes that she likes to eat, which are durable and not heavy, and the sweet potatoes and taro that Xiaoroubao likes. Bring, all kinds of pickled and watery sour wild can not be brought.
“Mom, I’ll buy air tickets for you and Dad after the New Year. You guys will stay in the capital for a few days and see if I live where I live now?” Su Xiaoxiao could only have high hopes for the winter vacation if she couldn’t cheat during the summer vacation.
Li Yufeng quickly tied her luggage, shook her head and said, “What are you doing with that money, this time your whole family is on a plane, and you have spent a lot of money on it. Do you still have enough money? Mother, there is still some here, if it’s not enough, you should first Use it.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “Mother, didn’t I tell you? The Hancheng family has a whole box of gold, and if you sell any one for money, you can fly back and forth a hundred times. You really don’t need to worry about the money, this time the plane ticket is also a child. What do you think of the garment factory I mentioned to you last time?”
Li Yufeng glanced at her daughter: “You, gold is kept for family heirlooms, what are you doing selling the gold in Hancheng? Big brother, why do you want to take a stake in a food factory and let me open a clothing factory? Why is it so unreliable in my heart? I really need to find some time to go to the capital to take a good look at what you have done for two years. ”
Su Xiaoxiao originally planned to continue “brainwashing” her mother, but when she heard that she was going to the capital to “supervise” her, she immediately changed the subject, hugged Li Yufeng and said, “Mmmm, mother, let’s make an appointment and wait for the winter vacation. Then you must come to the capital to see what I have done.”
Li Yufeng laughed angrily. Even so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that her daughter’s life was getting better and better. Li Yufeng was actually relieved. In the end, I took the girl’s words to heart. These are not things that can be done at once, but they can be done at once if you plan ahead, so the girl will discuss with her in advance. This simple truth Li Yufeng still understands .
The nearest airport to Sujia Village is in the city, so Su Xiaoxiao and the children set off early in the morning.
The cubs reluctantly said goodbye to their relatives in Sujia Village and this cute little village. The little friends wiped away tears when they knew that the rice **** were going back today. Several were still chasing Su Zhenhua’s tractor for a long distance, not listening to what they said, until the rice ball asked the second uncle to stop and tell them.
Children growing up in mountain villages don’t have so many crooked bowels, and their feelings are sincere and direct. Whoever treats them well, they will rest assured for the rest of their lives. Even if the rice **** don’t come back in the future, they will always remember their goodness.
On the tractor, several elder brothers were silent, and even Xiaorou Bao secretly wiped away tears.
Yesterday, I promised to buy ice cream for Xiaoroubao. Before the bus came, the cubs asked Su Xiaoxiao to take Dabao Yaobao and Xiaotangyuan to look at the luggage. Anyway, Su Zhenhua also waited with them. The few of them went first. A supply and marketing agency.
Seeing the plastic sandals on the shelf, Zhuzi discussed with them: “How about we give Tree Root a pair of sandals for each of them.”
The rice ball nodded and said, “Yes, let’s go back and help Uncle Gu to earn a lot of pocket money. This is practical, let’s buy it for them.”
Xiaobao said, “Would you like to discuss it with my aunt first?”
Onigiri shook his head and said, “No, the upper limit I need to report with pocket money is 100 yuan.”
Xiaobao was startled: “So much? Isn’t the little meat bun a dollar?”
Rice ball: “How old am I and how old is Xiaoroubao? Can they be the same?”
Zhuzi said: “It’s not too much. We have earned a lot of manuscript fees over the years, and we have saved them all but haven’t spent much. We also have the New Year’s money for the New Year.”
The rice ball patted Zhuzi’s shoulder: “The real big money here is this one. There is no upper limit on his pocket money, and he can spend it as he wants.”
Zhuzi smiled and didn’t say anything. He paid a lot for the manuscript, and he was the only child in the family. Everyone loved him. The elders in the family were all chasing after him to give him money. I have, but I won’t spend it randomly, and I don’t know how much I have saved, but it’s quite a lot anyway.
It was a rare opportunity to spend money without the need for a ticket. In the end, Zhuzi rushed to pay the bill and bought a total of 20 pairs of plastic sandals, which shocked the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhuzi and the others went back to the station and shoved the sandals into Su Zhenhua. The twenty pairs of plastic sandals really shocked Su Zhenhua, and they didn’t pick them up, either: “What are you doing? Who are you doing wholesale?”
Zhuzi said: “Second uncle, please give these sandals to the children who can’t afford sandals at home who are playing with us these days. They are either barefoot or wearing straw sandals, just treat them as gifts from us. ”
The rice ball waved his fingers: “It’s not us, it’s you, second uncle, these sandals are paid by Zhuzi, you can just say that their brother Zhuzi gave them.”
Zhu Zi laughed: “Do you want to distinguish it so clearly?”
Xiaoroubao holds the ice cream in one hand, and digs it into Xiaodoubao’s big rooster schoolbag with the other. It’s a good thing not to leave a name, then say these shoes are bought by Xiaoroubao to give them! They will definitely like Xiaoroubao more!”
Everyone: “…”
The rice ball pinched his face: “You smart ghost, you are the smartest!”
Xiao Tangyuan took the money he put into the pillar and looked at it. It was a penny. He frowned and asked Xiaoroubao, “Third brother, can you buy so many pairs of sandals for one penny?”
Zhuzi picked up the small dumplings: “third brother is playing with brother Zhuzi, let’s go, it’s time for us to stop, second uncle, these sandals will trouble you.”
…
Su Zhenhua held 20 pairs of sandals, and told the three treasures of the Su family to be obedient, not to run around in the big city, to follow the rice **** closely, and then reluctantly watched them enter the station.
It wasn’t until I couldn’t see their backs that I looked back at the sandals in my hands. The old Su family’s ancestral grave was smoking, and the children raised at home were the best.
