In this era without telephones, we can only rely on tacit understanding to guess. Although I don't know what Huang Shaowen did when he went out for a day, but the boss is unlikely to do anything bad, and he went to his uncle's house, so nothing should happen to him.
If you haven¡¯t come back from dinner, you don¡¯t have to wait. At most, you can leave some leftovers. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Huang Shaowen got home. At this point, if it had been before, everyone would have gone to bed.
But since I bought a TV, I have definitely not been sleeping at this point. I have basically been watching TV series, and I don¡¯t go to bed until the TV series is over.
The light at the door is left on, probably because of myself. The front door opened with a gentle push. Nowadays, in rural areas, the situation of bolting the gates at night has not yet appeared. In a few years, when life is more difficult and social security has not been effectively managed, people will often pay attention to bolting the gates. .
And the most important thing is that the male labor force in the village has basically been developing overseas in the past two years, just like Huang Shaowen asked Huang Yaojun and others to go to eastern Guangdong last year. In fact, not only a few of them, but also many people from several surrounding villages went out in groups to find a way out.
Huangzhuang and the others are okay. They are pursuing more wealth. They go out to find an opportunity to see if they can make a fortune. People who go out in many places are helpless and forced by life.
Because in the past two years, farming, how to calculate, how to lose money. You can earn less than 1,000 yuan a year from an acre of land, and you have to hand over more than 20% of the withdrawals. For a family of four, they don¡¯t have much to eat. They grow everything themselves, but they have to spend money on daily necessities and clothes. There is simply no money to buy anything extra.
??Save oil, use soap sparingly, squeeze toothpaste slowly and use it, worry about water and electricity bills, come and go. When children buy snacks, they will be happy to get 10 or 20 cents.
Not to mention, TV sets and other things that people in the city have.
?? Huang Shaowen¡¯s family can buy a TV, an electric fan, a tape recorder, a refrigerator, and an air conditioner. The family situation is simply divine.
There are not many people in Huangzhuang who have made money, but most families can only grit their teeth and spend the thousand yuan or so they have saved over the years to buy a TV.
To be honest, if Huang Shaowen hadn't taught everyone how to grow greenhouses, everyone would have made some money every winter, as well as dividends from the village, various livestock collected by Li Ziniu, and eggs collected by Liu Dacheng's family in Zhaoji next door. , who do some small business by themselves and can buy a TV, there are really few people who have this ability.
Huang Shaowen bought a TV four years ago. At that time, he had it at home, so for two years, the TV he bought was actually a public product in the village.
Later, after everyone slowly bought it, we could be like now. At around eight o'clock, we each go home and watch our own TV.
Huang Shaowen parked the motorcycle, turned around and bolted the front door. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the next sentence, "You're back, have you eaten?"
Huang Shaowen was startled, "Ouch." Looking closely, the old lady didn't know when she appeared. "You scared me to death. Why are you silent?"
The old lady sniffed her nose and said angrily: "Why did you drink so much wine again? I'm scaring you, I think your ears are not functioning properly after drinking too much."
Huang Shaowen quickly apologized and said, "Don't be angry. I didn't drink much. I was drinking with Boss Zhao."
The old lady became even more unhappy, "I heard that Wang Ni is not at home. His daughter is so young, and you two are still drinking?!"
"No, no, I drank, but he didn't. We are both sensible." Huang Shaowen quickly explained.
Seeing that the old lady looked noncommittal, she probably didn't care, Huang Shawen asked: "What are you doing? Aren't you watching TV in the house?" The two of them walked to the main room, Huang Shaowen asked as they walked.
The old lady sat down on the couch and said, "Go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll have a rest."
Huang Shaowen went into the room and took a look. The third, fourth, and fifth children were all there. They did not fight over watching something like Taiwan University like his son and daughter did in the previous life. After all, the number of channels that could be received at this time was very limited. This TV series is the most exciting. It must be CCTV.
I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m looking at, it¡¯s something I haven¡¯t seen before. The three of them were so fascinated that they didn't realize that they were back. Huang Shaowen found it boring, so he moved a bench and sat next to the old lady.
"If you don't watch TV, why are you sitting here with me?"
¡°It¡¯s not interesting, I just sit here and chat with you.¡±
"What's there to talk about with me? I'm an old lady, and you are already a professor, so I can't teach you anything."
?"Well, you see what you said, no matter how much I am a professor, I am also your grandson, let alone I am not a professor now."
"Ah? What did you say?" The old lady didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't hear clearly what Huang Shaowen just said.
"It's nothing. How about you tell me about grandpa?" Huang Shaowen hadn't figured out how to talk about his affairs and almost leaked it.
"Your grandpa, your grandpa is very good. I don't know what happened to him. I haven't heard from him for so many years." The old lady felt like saying this. I couldn't tell what it felt like. It didn't feel like loneliness or regret. , not like being confused, as if, very plain, just the kind of plainness where you talk casually, all from the truth, from the heart.
"I heard that the old man opened a design company in Guangdong and Hong Kong, but he didn't tell you?" Huang Shaowen asked proactively.
The old lady smiled and said: "Well, I've said it. Let me tell you, this is your grandfather's specialty. He has been involved in chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and his good calligraphy was famous in our area.
Your grandfather used to paint, and his paintings were very beautiful. Unfortunately, they were all burned and not a single thing was left. Oops, why did I forget it? I should let him keep a painting when he comes back this time, look at my brain. "
Huang Shaowen originally didn¡¯t know about the old man¡¯s abilities at this time, because according to the normal historical trajectory, until the old man came back, the old lady never told her grandchildren about the old man.
Huang Shaowen felt that the old lady might still be afraid of something. It wasn't until the old man came back that the old lady finally stopped worrying about the things she often worried about.
"Didn't I say I would come back during Qingming Festival? Don't worry. Didn't you take a few photos when you came back this time?" Huang Shaowen asked.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Let me show you the photo. You haven't seen your grandpa yet. I'm telling you, among the younger ones, you are the most similar to your grandpa. Wait. Let you take a look." After saying that, the old lady got up and went to the house to look for photos.
Then Huang Shaowen heard Xiao Wu¡¯s cry from inside, ¡°Oh, grandma, what are you doing, blocking the TV?¡±
"You're still watching TV. You can finish watching this episode and go to bed, okay?" This was the old lady's voice.
"Oh, I got it, hurry up, get out of the way." It was Xiao Wu again.
Huang Shaowen felt that it was necessary to take this kid out and educate him properly. But before he could take action, the old lady had already come out with a photo album in hand. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
