Rebirth of the house of thieves

After 10 minutes, everyone packed up.

Cao Hui asked the question everyone was concerned about: "Captain, where shall we have breakfast?"

Zhang Yan gestured towards the village in front of him, "In the village."

"okay!"

I was very tired yesterday, and everyone fell asleep almost as soon as they lay down, so they had a good rest. Today, they all regained their spirits, rode their bicycles, and ran to the distant village with full power.

It was still morning, and there was no traffic on the national highway. Zhang Yan didn't ask them to keep in formation. A group of people talked and laughed, rode wildly, and arrived in the village not long after.

People in the village get up early, because they have to work in the fields for a while in the morning when the temperature is not too high.The village at this time is very lively, the smoke from cooking is curling up, and the smell of rice lingers for a long time.

Seeing a group of schoolchildren entering the village, the villagers followed them curiously.A group of children stood not far away, looking at their bicycles and the backpacks on their backs, their big innocent eyes full of desire to explore.

Taking advantage of his age, Wang Yue stepped on a bicycle and approached a middle-aged man who was squatting on the ground with a shovel to scrape off the mud on his shovel.

"Uncle, can I ask you something?"

The uncle stopped what he was doing, "What's the matter? Ask."

"That's right." Wang Yue smiled back, "We are all students of Zaohua No. [-] Middle School. We took advantage of the summer vacation to take a trip to Sisha City by bicycle. Today is our departure. On the second day, we haven't had breakfast yet, so I want to ask you if there are any small restaurants or restaurants in your village."

Wang Zhi nodded secretly, thinking that Wang Yue was more capable than him.This village is close to the national highway. If there is a small restaurant, it must be next to the national highway. At least there must be a signboard, but they didn't see it, which means that there are no restaurants in this village at all.Wang Yue's question was to test whether he could go to the villagers' homes for dinner, and he would give money if he had to.But if you say it too directly, it's not appropriate.

The uncle raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Traveling by bicycle? You young people are really amazing. Oh, by the way, where is there a small restaurant in such a small village? If you don't mind, come to my house to eat. There is nothing good in the countryside. Stuff, but definitely full”

Wang Yue shook his head as a sign of disapproval, "Look at what you said. I am also from the countryside. Why don't we have good things in the countryside? We grow our own vegetables, which are natural and harmless; no matter whether they are coarse grains or fine grains, eat healthy."

The uncle laughed loudly when he heard this, "You can really talk! You all come to my house for dinner. There is also a boy in my family, but unfortunately his grades are not good. He is in the third year of junior high school. I don't know if he can pass the high school entrance examination next year."

Zhang Yan stepped forward, "What a coincidence. If you don't mind, we can send him our junior high school notes."

The uncle was very pleasantly surprised, "Really? That's good." He didn't feel that these people were lying to him, because they all had the school badge of Zaohua on them, and he didn't think it was necessary to cheat for breakfast.

Zhang Yan nodded, "Of course it is true. Uncle, you are so enthusiastic, it is fate that we met you."

The uncle warmly invited them into the house.

His wife was very happy when she learned that they were all from Zaohua No. [-] Middle School, and said that she would lend the notes to their sons. She added firewood to a hot pot and fried an egg for each of them.

Hearing them mention that this was the second day of departure, his wife slapped her thigh suddenly, "When I went to the vegetable garden this morning, I heard Lao Liu, who grows watermelons in the village, say that last night I saw lights in the distance that were always on. .He was also worried that there might be thieves trying to steal his watermelon. Could it be you who are turning on the light?"

Chen Kuan nodded, "It's us. We brought two tents, but we couldn't make it to the lodging place in time last night, so we had to live in tents."

The son of this family looked envious, "Traveling by bicycle sounds great!"

The uncle slapped him on the forehead, "If you study hard, I will buy a car for you to travel in the future!"

The simple wish made everyone smile knowingly and encouraged the kid to cheer up.

After breakfast, Zhang Yan insisted on paying, but the uncle firmly disagreed.

Zhang Yan had no choice but to give up.

With an idea, Wang Yue took a family portrait for their family of three, and everyone took a group photo with them.When I come back, the photos must have been developed, and I will give them to them when I pass by here again.

After that, everyone bid farewell to the enthusiastic family and continued to set off.

There are more and more houses on both sides of the national highway.Because it is more convenient to go to the market near the national highway, many people build their houses next to the national highway.The two families that seem to be far apart may still belong to the same village.

After advancing for more than an hour, Zhang Yan saw a vineyard in front of him and raised his hand.

Everyone stopped.

Wang Yue said with a smile: "Our lunch should be settled."

Everyone laughed easily.The breakfast went well, and the opportunity for lunch came so soon, which made them feel a lot easier psychologically, and gradually realized the joy of this special trip.If you travel by tourist bus or private car, you may not experience such fun.

Just approaching the vineyard, there was a ferocious barking of dogs.

A big black dog ran out of the vineyard and barked at everyone.

A moment later, a middle-aged woman in her early thirties with a cloth scarf on her head came over.When she heard the dog barking, she thought someone was stealing grapes, but she didn't think it was the same when she saw the group of children, so she asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Who is it?" A man appeared smoking a cigarette.

His eyes were a little sharp, and everyone didn't know what to say for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan glanced at the large vineyard naturally, "Uncle and aunt, we are students, and we happened to pass by here while traveling by bicycle."

"Oh." The man looked at them with curious eyes, but he didn't mean to ask more questions.

Wang Zhi and the others thought that this topic could not continue, and felt a little embarrassed, but they saw that Zhang Yan was still indifferent.

Zhang Yan continued: "Uncle must be the first group of people in the village to get rich."

The man smiled, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Yan said lightly: "It can be seen from this vineyard. The vineyard is next to the national road, and the transportation conditions are convenient, so it is very convenient to sell. In addition, these grapes are smaller than common grapes, and the color of the grape skin is also different. Deeper, it is obviously a new variety, which shows that my uncle is a bold and careful person—ordinary people dare not rashly plant new varieties of grapes.”

The man was very surprised. He didn't expect a child to have such insights. He waited for him to continue talking, but listened to his words change.

"The purpose of our trip is to try not to spend a penny. Even if we have to spend money, we must spend it ourselves. Our lunch has not yet been settled. Uncles and aunts, see if this can be done. We will help you pick grapes, you guys How about treating us to a lunch? You don’t need to eat too much, as long as you are full.”

"Oh, so powerful?" The woman exclaimed, and then said with a smile, "I don't need your help picking grapes, and I invite you to have lunch as usual."

The man didn't object. He glanced at Zhang Yan, hesitant, and felt shameless to talk too much, but he felt a little uneasy if he didn't ask.

"That won't work, we just eat and don't do anything, and we don't feel at ease." Wang Yue suggested, "Auntie, you can teach us how to cut grapes, and we will definitely do a good job."

Wang Zhi and the others are all interested.Zhang Hui, Su Zihao and Gu Pan occasionally do some farm work at home, but they have never picked grapes.

The women hesitated, mainly because they were afraid that the children would damage the grapes.

Zhang Yan looked at the man, "It's better like this. If we don't do well, we will compensate you according to the price; if we do well, you will take care of our meal. Your village should be nearby, so you won't be afraid of us running away. .”

The man smiled, "OK!"

"Then come with me." His wife led the others into the vineyard.

Zhang Yan continued to chat with the man.

The others didn't know what they were talking about, but after about 10 minutes, they first heard a burst of laughter, and then saw Zhang Yan and the man walking side by side.The man smiled happily and patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder, with obvious appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

Fang Jinghao said to Wang Yue in a low voice: "I think you and Zhang Yan have a lot to learn from me, so I always think about your actions unconsciously. But I can't figure out why you would tactfully say You mentioned the matter of eating, but Zhang Yan brought it up so directly?"

Wang Yue was taken aback by his first words. He thought he had discovered his relationship with Zhang Yan, but soon realized that he had no other intentions. His expression returned to normal. He cut off a bunch of grapes and carefully put them in the grapes. basket.

"It's actually very simple, because this uncle is a businessman, so it's more against his temper to directly negotiate the terms."

Fang Jinghao was thoughtful.

Working in full swing until after eleven o'clock, a group of friends were unknowingly affected by the joy of the harvest, and they didn't seem to feel tired at all.

The owner and his wife of the vineyard were very happy, and treated them like guests at noon. They took out the leftover bacon from last year's Chinese New Year and cooked a lot of pickled salted eggs. They also warmly invited They sat at home and waited until after two o'clock when it was not so hot before going on the road.

It was really too hot at noon, so they stayed behind.

When leaving, Zhang Yan bought about 150 catties of grapes at a very favorable price, divided them into eleven shares, each took some, and sold them in the next village.If there are too many, they can't carry them, that's all they can do.

After setting off, Wang Zhi couldn't help being curious, and asked Zhang Yan, "What did you guys talk about?"

Zhang Yan said lightly, "I just talked to him about some ideas about sales."

Wang Zhi nodded, and suddenly felt that there was still a big gap between himself and Zhang Yan.
