Father and Son
Chapter 130 Father and Son
After a night of rain, the next day was sunny again.
But Luo Xingzhou got up before the sun came out.
It wasn't because of the rain that leaked all night in the house that he didn't fall asleep, but he slept soundly. He didn't care about the rain-soaked house, as if he was used to this situation.
It was because he got up in the morning and was going to sell vegetables in a nearby market.
The few mu of land he planted is around Shencheng, and it belongs to a friend he knew in the past, a friend who has been kind to him.
He is a local, and he also has his own job outside. He didn't want to farm at home, so he rented the land to Luo Xingzhou.
As for the rent, it is half of the monthly food cost.
It seems unreasonable for Luo Xingzhou to get up early and be greedy for night, and to share half of the money for the vegetables he sells, but in fact Luo Xingzhou is grateful, because this friend allows him to live in Shencheng.
Because the green vegetables are grown without any chemical fertilizers, the sales are very good. Every time they are brought to the market, they are basically sold out without him shouting.
He is not the only one who sells green vegetables like him in the market, so a special sales market has been formed. Many old people who live in the city and have time and money will drive here early in the morning to buy theirs. green vegetables.
Gradually, they also have their own customers, and most people can't buy them if they want to.
But they didn't raise the price too much because everyone knew that if they lost these customers, they would lose their jobs.
Growing vegetables is actually a very hard work, unlike what you grow in your own land and eat at home, you basically rely on the sky to harvest.
Fertilizing, weeding, catching insects, etc., are very hard because no medicine is available.
Of course, the hardest thing is that every day before dawn, he has to ride three wheels to the market tens of kilometers away.
Even though he has long been used to it, it is still a very hard job for him with one arm.
But no matter what, life is still going on, and today, I have to go to the town to find someone to repair the house.
It's going to be winter soon, and it won't work if it goes on like this.
He went out wearing two thick clothes in the morning, but when he arrived at the market, only a thin shirt was left, and a thin mist rose from it.
When we arrived at the market, it was already daylight, and the surrounding area was already full of people.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that this is a market. This is just an intersection. There are many people riding tricycles and pushing carts, scattered in twos and threes on the side of the road.
I don't know who was the first to set up a stall here, and it gradually formed a small market.
When Luo Xingzhou arrived, there were already many grocery buyers waiting for him. These people were all about the same age as Luo Xingzhou, but they were well-dressed, relaxed and relaxed, and did not worry about life. To run for life.
They all drive here from the city to buy groceries.
Seeing Luo Xingzhou approaching, he immediately surrounded him.
"Old Luo, is the radish I want available today..."
"Lao Luo, last time I bought a little less cabbage, give me some more today..."
"Lao Luo, do you have celery today? The celery you grow is better. The ones bought in the supermarket are big and smell bad..."
……
Everyone gathered around chattering, they were all concerned about his food, no one cared about Luo Xingzhou who was out of breath.
Luo Xingzhou didn't care, and greeted everyone with a smile. They were all acquaintances, and there were very few new faces.
"Mr. Lou, here is the radish you asked for yesterday, ten catties, please weigh it."
"No, I can't trust you?"
"Thank you Mr. Lou for taking care of the business."
"Sister Zhou, the lettuce you asked for before, I grew these to eat myself, and I didn't sell them, but if you want them, I'll get some for you."
"I mean, Lao Luo is still a good person, we love to come to you to buy vegetables."
Because they were regular customers taking care of the business, the dishes on Luo Xingzhou's cart decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon some leftovers were picked out.
But Luo Xingzhou didn't plan to sell it. He planned to go to the town and find someone to repair the house.
But at this moment, a person walked to the booth.
"The dishes are gone, come back tomorrow morning." Luo Xingzhou said without raising his head.
"Business is not bad."
At this time, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in Luo Xingzhou's ear.
Luo Xingzhou raised his head in surprise, and saw a familiar person standing in front of the booth, looking at his empty right arm with sadness.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Mechanical accidents, industrial injuries, I lost a lot of money." Luo Xingzhou tried to show a relaxed smile.
Looking at the person in front of him, his hair was thin and gray, and he looked almost as old as him. If Mr. Song hadn't told him that this was his son, he would hardly have recognized him.
Why are you so old?Why is there only one arm left?
"That's fine~"
Luo Sinan didn't know how to comfort others, he just said something dryly, and then he didn't know what to say.
It was Luo Xingzhou who took the initiative to ask, "Why are you here?"
"I... a friend came to Shanghai, and he and I stopped by to see you." Luo Sinan said.
"friend?"
Luo Xingzhou looked at the cars parked on the side of the road, but he didn't know which one was his friend.
"I'm doing very well now, my business is doing well and I'm making a lot of money."
Luo Xingzhou picked up the cardboard box in the tricycle, which contained some odds and ends, but the amount was quite a lot.
"That's good, I'm doing well at home." Luo Sinan said with a smile.
He took a puff from the cigarette in his hand, and the smoke swirled in the air, covering his face.
"That's good." Luo Xingzhou said dryly.
There was another silence, but this time Luo Sinan took the initiative to ask: "Where do you live now, can you let me go to your house for a while?"
"Okay, get in the car and I'll drive you there."
Luo Xingzhou came up and wanted to help Luo Sinan get on three rounds.
"I can do it without your help." Luo Sinan said stubbornly.
"Are you 78 this year?" Luo Xingzhou said.
"79, 7384, if Hades doesn't tell me to leave, I've made money for several years." Luo Sinan said with a smile.
"I'm also 55."
"Are you married yet?"
"No, I am like this, who can take a fancy to me."
Hearing this, Luo Sinan sat on the tricycle in silence for a while.
"Let's go."
Luo Xingzhou also got on the tricycle, greeted him, stepped on the pedal, and rushed towards the main road.
Luo Sinan subconsciously supported the side of the car, seeing that it was stable, he felt relieved.
"It's nothing bad, as long as you can make money."
"What did you say?" Luo Xingzhou didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, but you have time to go home and have a look, the village is doing well now." Luo Sinan said loudly.
"Well, when I'm not busy."
"Then when are you not busy?"
"Wait for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year this year, I will go back to celebrate the New Year."
"Okay, okay, when you go back, you can go to your second uncle's house to celebrate the new year, he hasn't seen you for many years, there are so many people." Luo Sinan laughed happily.
"You have to ride such a long distance every day?"
"Or else?"
"That was hard work, too."
"If you get used to it, it won't be hard."
"Why don't you write a letter back?"
"I lost my hands, how can I write a letter?" Luo Xingzhou said with a loud laugh.
"That's right."
Luo Sinan laughed along with him, and he was full of tears while smiling.
