【138】Summer

Fang Chang'an's family has a total of five and a half acres of land, two in Henan, more than one acre in Hebei, more than one acre in the south of the village, and two or three parts in the southeast of the village. There is a pear orchard in the south of the village, which occupies about half acre.

In previous years, most of the two plots of land in Henan and Hebei would choose one piece of land to grow watermelon, because in most cases, it costs more to grow watermelon than to grow wheat.

However, watermelon erecting sheds, pollinating, watering, and picking melons are not something that a person can do. Fang Lujun is not at home and is calm and "clutty", so he has planted wheat in his family this year.

At this time, the harvester was not a rare thing, but because it costs money, most families still maintained the tradition of harvesting wheat with sickles. If they just harvested alone, they might not be able to finish the wheat in their pockets.

Fang Lujun called on the phone to find a harvester to collect it, and he was reluctant to spend the money. He called grandpa, grandma and Fang Luyong's family to help, so she naturally had to run around to help, which was also a common thing during busy farming.

When Fang Chang'an returned home on the weekend, he caught the last piece of land in the south of the village. He originally wanted to call his classmates to help: mainly to make Shen Mo more knowledgeable and see how to harvest wheat, but he was worried that the weather was too hot, so he tanned her crystal clear skin as snow and burned it, so he gave up this idea.

At the end of the month, the high school entrance examination will be held for 24, 25 and 26 days. After the high school entrance examination, Fang Chang'an and others will start the final exam, and they will still have four days. The first day of the lunar month will be taken, the second day of the lunar month will be taken, and the holiday will be taken on the morning of July 1st.

On the night after returning home, Fang Lujun called again and said that he had agreed with the boss that there was an empty room next to the room where he was sleeping, and he had already promised him that he could use it during the summer vacation, so that he could just bring his three children here calmly.

Calm and hesitate, Fang Chang'an took his younger brother and sister to persuade him, saying that it wasn't just for fun, but the holiday was nearly two months. Mom, you can also find a job, and you can earn 1,000 yuan, which is better than staying at home.

This reason convinced Congyan and finally settled the matter.

After having dinner the next morning, he calmly went to the front yard and called Fang Luyong to help, asking him to drive a tricycle and pack the wheat harvested from his family to the town to sell.

Fang Chang'an followed, and sat in the pockets of wheat piled up in the carriage, and came all the way to the grain and oil station in the town.

Seeing a tricycle coming in, the staff of the grain and oil station quickly came out and asked the next generation of wheat to carry the next generation, untied the tied bag, reached in and grabbed a handful of wheat from underneath, twisted it with his hands, and said a little surprised: "It's quite dry."

Fang Luyong said: "That's not, I've been on for several days."

Another staff member also came over and grabbed a handful of wheat and looked at it, saying, "You are better, Liumao."

Congqing naturally didn't want to pay as much as others gave. He tried to raise the price with Fang Luyong, but in the end he still sold it at 62 cents. Bags of hemp skin bags filled with wheat were carried down and weighed, totaling more than 2,640 kilograms.

A total of 1,636.

This is all the income from the family's field output in the first half of the year, and the cost of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. has not been deducted.

Fang Chang'an was watching from the side, feeling mixed for a moment, and he couldn't explain what he felt. He only knew that in order to protect domestic planting, the country actually subsidized money to purchase wheat, corn and other crops, and it would only be cheaper according to international grain prices.

After collecting the money, Fang Chang'an and his mother got on the bus. Fang Luyong drove a tricycle to the train station. On the way, Fang Chang'an asked, "Mom, are there only wheat in the house?"

He nodded calmly and said, "There are still a few bags left, leaving them for noodles."

There is a small flour workshop in the village where wheat is made into flour. The wheat bran can be fed to pigs and chickens. It is more cost-effective than buying flour. Therefore, most of the time, the family will leave a certain amount of wheat to eat by themselves.

Fang Changan nodded and then said, "How many train tickets should we buy?"

With persistent exercise and sufficient nutrition, Fang Changan has grown a lot taller this year, nearly 1.65 meters tall. Fang Yanran is still relatively short and should be free of charge. Fang Changming and Fang Changan were about the same height as Fang Changan last year. According to regulations, they have to buy adult tickets.

Cangyan obviously didn't think so, and said, "Just just have two tickets."

Fang Chang'an advised: "Mom, Changming is almost 1.6 meters tall. According to regulations, we should buy a full ticket. Otherwise, we can buy two full tickets and one more children's ticket. In this way, people will make sense when they ask. If they only buy two tickets, even if they have a quarrel with them for a long time, they will have to add at least one and a half tickets in the end."

"There are too many people on the train at that time, and it will cost money for a long time, and there should be no seats. Why not just buy one and a half tickets first, so it's easier to talk to you at that time."

In his previous life, Fang Changming and Fang Yanran went out later than now. On the bus, he calmly still had to argue with the ticket seller about two small free tickets and half tickets.

She was originally shy, but at first she pretended to be stingy, and often couldn't speak without arguing with others, but she still had to hold on. Later, she gradually adapted, but as Fang Yanran gradually grew taller, she naturally became more and more inappropriate.

At that time, Fang Chang'an often kept silent and felt a fever in his face. It seemed that everyone was looking at himself with strange sunshine. He felt ashamed of his mother. He obviously wanted to buy tickets according to regulations, so why did he argue with others for so long for 50 cents?

Now Fang Chang'an can understand her helplessness and bitterness at that time, and it is hard to tell others that she cannot even express any grievances and sorrows. So he is increasingly reluctant to see her mother forcing her to do things that she feels ashamed of.

He calmly knew the rules, but everyone could find ways to evade tickets. It seemed that those who paid for the tickets were fools. They spent more money, and they really couldn't bear to let go, so they wanted to work harder and spend less.

The train tickets are more than 150, nearly 16, and half of the tickets are also nearly 80. If you save it, how much can you buy?

But what my son said makes sense. The train takes fifteen or sixteen hours. If you can have one more seat, it will definitely be more comfortable than two seats. She can not sit, but she has three children.

He hesitated calmly and asked, "Is there a seat for half a ticket?"

Fang Chang'an said: "According to regulations, children's tickets are the same as adult tickets. If you can buy a seat, you will have a seat."

After thinking calmly for a few seconds, I finally felt that all three children were out for the first time. It was better to have one more seat than one less on the train for such a long time. I nodded.

When he arrived outside the train station, Fang Luyong stopped the car. Fang Changan was afraid that his uncle would let him see the car, so he jumped down quickly and said, "Young uncle, you are waiting here, you will buy tickets very quickly."

Fang Luyong was indeed ready to let Fang Changan see the car. When he saw him stealing his line, he asked a little surprised: "Are you going too?"

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "I haven't seen how to buy a train ticket yet, go and have a look."

Fang Luyong had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't run around, I'll lose it later."

“Hey.”

The town train station is very small, with ticket windows, waiting halls, and exit halls all in the same hall, and the halls are not big. If it were Fang Chang'an, who was of this age in his previous life, perhaps it might be considered a hall, but in the eyes of Fang Chang'an today, he would be left behind and cramped.

There was a middle-aged man buying tickets in front of the window. He calmly waited for him to buy them before going over. Fang Chang'an followed him. Before his mother could speak, he called the fat woman who bought the tickets inside: "Sister, are there any seats for the train tickets from the city to Wenzhou?"

The house Changan, who has grown a lot, has already looked like a teenager, still fair and handsome. The ticket seller looked at him with a childish and cute look. There was a smile on Mumu's face and said, "Yes, which day do you want?"

Relaxed: "No. 8."

The ticket seller checked it on his computer and asked again: "How many tickets?"

Consciously knew his son’s intentions and asked, “Do you all sit down?”

"have."

"That's three, two adults and one child."

The ticket seller probably had never seen anyone who took the initiative to buy children's tickets. It was a bit surprising. He looked at Fang Chang'an and thought that he could not buy children's tickets, right?

Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Sister, the ticket for children belongs to my younger brother, and I am an adult."

The other party smiled and said calmly: "Three hundred,92,500."

Congyan lowered his head to count the money. The ticket seller looked at Fang Chang'an. Fang Chang'an smiled at her, and the other party smiled, then took the 400 yuan handed over by Congyan and said with a smile: "Your brother is so cute!"

After calmly being stunned, Fang Changan had already smiled and corrected: "Sister, this is my mother, I am her son."

The other party blushed, quickly apologized, looked at calmly, and said, "You look so young, I thought you were siblings."

It was really young, but in the past, I used to deal with acquaintances, and I still encountered such a thing again. But while it was funny, I felt a little happy. I smiled at the other party, took the ticket and looked carefully, and walked out of the hall with my son.

Fang Chang'an also took the ticket and looked at it. It was a bit thin when it was water red. It only had the train number and seat printed on it. There was no name or ID card, which looked a bit awkward.

When I got home, I calmly and carefully collected the train ticket. Without identity authentication, I couldn’t make up for the train ticket if I lost it.

I went to my grandma's house the next day. The third day had passed, and the seventh day went to get the transcript. The next day I went to Wenzhou, and there were only four days left.

In the evening, Fang Changan called Shen Mo, heard a "feed" there, and said politely: "Hello, am I looking for Shen Mo?"

There was a gentle female voice over there, which sounded like Shen Mo's grandmother, and smiled and said, "Chang'an, right? Mo Mo went back to her parents."

Fang Changan was stunned for a moment, and said to him again: "This way, I'll give you the phone number from her home, you can remember it."

"Okay, thank you grandma."

Fang Chang'an was secretly grateful because the other party did not ask what was wrong, otherwise he would have been unable to answer. He immediately wrote down his phone number and thanked him before he hung up.

But he didn't fight again.

Because he had nothing to do at all, he just wanted to ask her that it was hot now and there was not much water in the river. She wanted to come over to catch fish. It was reasonable to come from the town, but he ran over to catch fish from the city... He was embarrassed to say no matter how thick-skinned he was.

"It's time to get the results report, so you won't say goodbye like this, right?"

Fang Changan recalled the scene of separation after the exam. It was nothing special. He just waved his hand and said goodbye. He was not as emotional as he was when he was separated at the end of the semester.

Maybe that day I thought it wasn't time to part?

Fang Chang'an walked out of his parents' room with a bit of unspeakable sorrow, took a basin to the west room, mixed wheat bran and feed for the pigs, and then helped his mother cook.

Fang Lujun was not here, and no one dared to turn on the TV easily under the intimidation of his mother. During the meal, Fang Changming glanced at his sister, and Fang Yanran glanced at his second brother. After a while, he glanced at his elder brother.

Fang Changan was secretly funny and said, "Mom, I can watch TV, okay?"

Look at him calmly, then look at the two little ones with a nervous and expectant expression. Nodded. Before Fang Chang'an moved, Fang Changming had already rushed out with a "scarlet" and shouted happily: "Brother, I'll go and turn on the TV for you!"

Fang Yanran also put down the bowl and stood up, "Brother, I'll help you too!"

Fang Chang'an cursed: "I'm just helping you, let you wash the dishes yourself after eating. How many times have you said?"

"Dingling! Dinglingling!"

The phone in the inner room suddenly rang, and Fang Chang'an's heart jumped. The special operator Fang Yanran had already snatched over to answer the phone again, responding in a slight voice: "Hey—"
