Qin Bao Bao put her palms together and bowed a few times. She didn't know Auntie Xu, but in the past, she occasionally came to Xujia Town with her parents. Her mother would call her and Qin Ze together.
Standing in front of a weather-beaten tomb and facing an elder who had passed away more than ten years ago, Qin Bao Bao didn't feel the slightest ripple in her heart.
But she knew that Auntie Xu had a very important place in her brother's heart. Every year after the summer vacation, Qin Ze would tell her how good Auntie Xu was in Xujia Town. She bought him snacks and toys.
Every time Qin Ze showed off like this, Qin Bao Bao would kick him and say, "Go and get food for me."
The little red guy would obediently run to get fruits and snacks.
After a few times, the little red guy realized that this couldn't make his sister envious, so he rarely showed off in front of her.
"You black-hearted maggot, why are you in a daze?"
After Qin Ze was in a daze for more than ten minutes, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"You're the maggot." Qin Ze rolled his eyes and said, "I'd rather shit than maggot."
Qin Ze said, "You came to the wrong place."
Qin Bao Bao was confused. "What?"
Qin Ze pointed to the tombstone. "Auntie Xu's birthday is on June 5th, not May 5th. I remembered it wrong. I didn't come for the New Year, and I didn't have time to come for the Qingming Festival. I wanted to wait for her birthday to come and see her. "
After that, he bent down and put the white chrysanthemum in front of the tomb. "I'm sorry, Auntie Xu. I haven't come to see you for many years. How are you doing down there? My mother always said that you were unlucky, but when I saw you when I was a child, you were smiling very happily, very happily. "
"Do you know, I'm rich now, a lot of money. How good would it be if you were still alive now? I can also be filial to you. You're so good to me, I'll remember it in my heart. "
"Xujia Town has changed a lot now. The asphalt roads and yellow houses in my memory are gone. A few years ago, I wanted to go to the reservoir to see it, but I found that it was full of weeds and there was no road. Other than playing computer games at home, kids these days don't go swimming? Most of the trees have been cut down, so I can't fish for eggs anymore. The stream is also gone. I don't know which mayor dug up the sand and sold it. I used to catch crabs to cook for you. The market outside the town has also been sold. If you want to buy groceries for me, you won't be able to find another place. All the items in the town had been sold out, and all the money had gone into their own pockets. Look at the nearby towns, they are almost more prosperous than the suburbs. The changes in Xu Town can't keep up with the times. "
Qin Ze muttered to himself for a long time, and then he seemed to remember that his beautiful sister was standing beside him.
He pulled his sister to his side and said with a smile, "She's … my sister, Aunt Xu. You haven't seen her before, but she's very beautiful, very beautiful. Therefore, you have to be at ease. "
Qin Bao Bao didn't understand. What did her beauty have to do with Aunt Xu's uneasiness?
But she still smiled sweetly at the tombstone.
After staying for about half an hour, Qin Ze and his sister went back the way they came. His sister took out a mask from her pocket and put it on. Qin Ze also put on a mask. The two of them went to buy spring tea from the auntie who picked tea nearby.
"Auntie, we want some freshly fried tea. Do you have it at home? "Qin Ze smiled.
"Yes, how much do you want?" The auntie looked at the strange man and woman wearing masks.
"I'll buy twenty catties," Qin Ze said.
Xujia Town's tea was famous in the whole county, and the price was not cheap. Aunt Xu's family had planted tea before, and Qin Ze had also picked summer tea when he was young. At night, he would fry it in the big pot on the stove, and it was very fragrant. In addition to drinking it himself, he could also give it to the employees as a company benefit. He, Salted Fish Ze, was the boss of three companies and had six to seven hundred employees.
The old man also liked tea, so he gave him one or two catties. It was enough to last him half a year.
The tea auntie was very happy. She didn't want to do this business. Although tea was not cheap, it was not as expensive as it was in the market. Moreover, it was not a particularly famous tea. If the customer bought a few taels, it would only cost a few dozen yuan. It was not worth it to go back and forth from here to Xujia Town for half an hour.
Looking at this scene, Qin Baobao suddenly recalled their childhood when their parents took them to Hangzhou to play. They swam past the Lion Peak Mountain, and the village was in sight. The old man could not restrain his poetic spirit, "Mountains and rivers, there is no road, Liu An points to another village. It's really a beautiful place. There's no such environment in Shanghai. "
Shanghai was a flat area, and there were generally no mountains. Sheshan was the highest peak in Shanghai, and it was … 100 meters above sea level.
In Zhe Province, there were mountains that were 100 meters high everywhere.
At this time, a rural woman caught up with them and said with a smile, "Are you tourists?"
The old man said, "Yes, we're here to play. We're from Shanghai."
Along the way, the rural woman and the old man talked about the tea leaves of Lion Peak Mountain and tea culture. The old man was a tea lover. They chatted about this topic for more than ten minutes. Seeing that they were about to reach a modern village, the woman warmly invited the four of them to her house.
"Come in and have a cup of tea. You must be tired after walking for so long."
The old man laughed heartily and said, "Not only is the scenery here good, but the people are also hospitable. It's a good place."
Then, the woman poured a cup of tea for the four of them and said, "Try it. It's authentic Lion Peak Longjing tea. They were all picked and fried by themselves."
The old man was full of praise. "The fragrance lingers in the mouth and the aftertaste lingers. Good tea!"
The woman said, "It's not expensive. One tael to one hundred twenty. Buy some if you like."
The old man was speechless.
The old man looked at the tea in his hand, then at the tea in his wife's hand. Then, he looked at his son and daughter in elementary and middle school.
The smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared.
The village is full of tricks. I want to go back to the city.
After drinking the tea and chatting so happily, he was too embarrassed to say, "Sorry, I'm not buying."
The old man was a cultured person. He was black-bellied, but he was thin-skinned. Therefore, he bought two taels of tea.
After that, he comforted himself by saying, "Lion Peak Longjing tea is famous. I came to Hangzhou to buy it. This is not a loss."
He was completely unaware of the disdainful eyes of his wife and child beside him.
Qin Bao Bao couldn't help but look at her brother. With Salted Fish Ze's thick skin, if he was as old as he was now, he would definitely take the initiative to say, "Thousands of mountains and rivers are always love. Can't you give me a discount?"
On the way to Xujia Town, the auntie said, "You two aren't from the town, right?"
Qin Ze nodded. "No, we're here to pay respects to my mother's old friend."
The auntie asked, "Which one? Do you want me to take you to their house? "
"No need." Qin Ze smiled and said, "Xu Ru, do you know her?"
The auntie thought for a while and suddenly realized. "Her? I know her. When I came to Xujia Town for a few years, I often came here with her to pick tea."
Qin Ze smiled and said, "My mother and her were good sisters. They grew up together."
The auntie said, "Oh, oh." She didn't have any reaction. She was not from Xujia Town. She was married here. If she was a native of Xujia Town, she would ask, "Is it Xu Lan?"
The auntie changed the topic. "Now in the whole town, her house is the largest and most beautiful. It's a pity that she passed away early. She's not blessed."
Qin Ze smiled and said casually, "Yes, she didn't marry a good husband."
The auntie said, "Zhang Hanxing is okay. He's just a gambler. But she used to …"
"Used to what?"
"Nothing. She's been gone for more than ten years. I won't talk about her behind her back."
On the way, they passed by a five-story villa. Qin Ze ignored it.
The siblings followed the auntie to her house. They stood at the door and didn't go in. After about ten minutes, the auntie came out. "We don't have enough new tea. Why don't you wait for me? I'll borrow some from other houses."
Qin Ze, who was squatting at the door and smoking, nodded and smiled gently. "Sure."
The auntie put the tea leaves in a brand-new woven bag and hooked it on the old-fashioned scale. "Look at the weight. It's exactly 20 kilograms."
Qin Ze: "…"
Qin Bao Bao: "…"
Qin Ze thought to himself, "Auntie, I'm just a kid who weighs 75 kilograms. I don't understand this scale. She did it on purpose, right?"
But it didn't matter. He didn't care about the weight.
But he regretted buying so much. How was he going to bring it to the company with the woven bag?
Boss Qin's arrogance instantly fell to the bottom. It was replaced by a strong rustic aura.
When he returned to Shanghai, he still had to find someone to buy tea cans and put the tea leaves in them. Then, he would give boxes to the employees.
20 kilograms wasn't heavy. But for tea leaves, it was very large. Qin Ze carried the tea leaves on his shoulder and brought his sister back the way they came.
Qin Bao Bao shamelessly surrounded him and took photos of his back, front, and side.
Qin Ze said helplessly, "Get lost."
Qin Bao Bao laughed until she couldn't straighten her back.
When they passed by the beautiful five-story villa, Qin Ze suddenly stopped. "This is Auntie Xu's house. It used to be."
Qin Bao Bao asked foolishly, "What about now?"
"The hostess has changed," Qin Ze said.
"Where did Zhang Hanxing get the money?" Qin Ze muttered, "Xu Yao?"
