Chapter 31

"My name is Zhang Degui."

"At that time, I was the most naughty in the school. I was not afraid of anyone except Mr. Tang. The headmaster had to make a detour when he saw me. In the school, Mr. Tang regarded me as a student and was willing to teach me patiently. In the eyes of other teachers, there are poor students. It is a capital crime to have bad grades. In addition, being naughty is incurable. Oh, this has happened many years ago. " The middle-aged man is not too dirty. He sits on the chair full of dust in front of him. He happily tells Lin Dong about all kinds of things he used to be. His face is full of vitality.

"Since I'm my own man, I'll call you Uncle Zhang." Lin Dong's mind moved, and his sealed memory came out. He vaguely remembered the presence of Zhang Degui when he saw his grandmother off. Grandma has been teaching for decades. It can be said that there are many peaches and plums all over the world, but there are few people to see her off. If you can come here, it shows that he is not bad. Lin Dong thinks that it's more convenient for him to come back to collect the medicinal materials. This expensive picture in front of him has a good character and looks quite honest. Maybe he can use it.

"I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it." Middle aged man Zhang Degui shakes his hands.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't know if you have time. I want to ask you to do something for me." Lin Dong doesn't have to go around any more. He comes straight to the point.

"Ah, even if I say that it can be done, I have no choice. Although Miss Tang is gone, I can't repay her kindness to me for a lifetime." Zhang Degui said at the end, his voice gradually lowered, and he asked awkwardly, "I don't know what you are going to do? If you want to talk about strenuous work or transportation, it's no problem. I'm afraid I'll use my brain. I know my own affairs, but I'm really incompetent. It's not good to delay your big business. I can run errands! "

"It's not a big deal." Lin Dong takes out five old people's heads from his wallet and hands them to Zhang Degui.

"This..." Zhang Degui was in a hurry to use the money. He wanted it and was embarrassed.

"Uncle Zhang, you are my grandmother's student and my own. That's why I can trust you." Lin Dong said his intention: "well, I'm going to buy a large number of medicinal materials in the mountains, as well as camellia. You saw it today, and I just accept it like that, but I don't have much time to follow up. I want to ask Uncle Zhang to help me."

"That's all?" Zhang Degui's eyes widened.

Is that too simple?

He thought it was something difficult. He didn't want to run errands. He had a motorcycle and had leisure time. It was easier to do than eat beans.

Zhang Degui suddenly felt such a move. Could it be that Xiao Lin, who is as kind-hearted as Mr. Tang, deliberately gave money to himself when he saw that his life was not so good, and was afraid that he would refuse, so he deliberately used it as an excuse?

Lin Dong gently put the money in front of Zhang Degui: "from today on, every day you help me go to the surrounding areas, towns and villages, where can I get medicine? If you help me buy a lot of herbs, you need to have acquaintances to call! It's not too much. You can charge for it. The salary is 100 yuan a day for the time being. I'll make up for the car oil and meals. In a word, you try your best to help me run. You can send them here after collecting every day. You can arrange the rest of the time by yourself. I try not to affect the farm hours of your family's fields. Here's 500 yuan. I'll give it to you in advance as a fund. "

Zhang Degui was happy and embarrassed: "no, no, how can it work? There's no reason to collect money first if you don't work. If I want to do this, it's not right for Miss Tang to live with her! Besides running errands, you don't need so much money. You can give it 20 or 30 times a day! "

Lin Dong looks at Zhang Degui seriously.

Eyes like a blade.

Scared Zhang Degui this honest man atmosphere dare not breathe, quickly shut up, dare not speak again.

At this time, he realized that there was no doubt and objection to what the young man had decided.

"Uncle Zhang, I have more important things. I can't be distracted." Lin Dong suddenly laughed, serious look, suddenly ice and snow melt, he reached out and patted a picture of your shoulder: "if you are my grandmother's good student, in the heart still read that feeling, help me. This money is second to me. What I want is medicine. If I'm a trustworthy person, I'll take medicine for me. Do you understand? Uncle Zhang, I call you Uncle Zhang today. I believe you, so I hope you can help me! "

Lin Dong's smiling face is brighter than the sun.

Zhang Degui saw it.

All of a sudden, I feel that the whole world lights up.

His voice, a little hoarse, squeezed out of his throat: "OK, I'll help you. If you believe me, I'll do it for you even if I break my legs!"

That 500 yuan Zhang Degui said no, but Lin Dongyi insisted, he quickly took over.

Zhang Degui didn't talk much. He carefully packed the medicine list that Lin Dong had written for him, and went out in a hurry. He planned to ride home immediately, mobilize the strength of his family, contact all his acquaintances, inquire about the surrounding mountain herbs, and do a good job entrusted by Lin Dong. There was a fever in his heart, and he didn't want to delay for a moment. I don't know if it's the car driving fast, the dust in the eyes, or the wind is a little strong today. Zhang Degui always feels astringent and hot in his eyes

The empty room is full of dust. Except for the big bags and small bags, everything in the room seems to be sealed in the time film a few years ago.

Lin Dong sighed.

Home.

If there are people in the room, it can be called home!

Lin Dong doesn't want to clean up the house. He always feels that he keeps the same as before, and has a feeling of childhood... The things that can't be moved in the house, especially the things in grandma's room, should be kept as a permanent memory.

Grandma likes to drink tea, especially when staying up late, there is always a pot of strong tea on the desk full of various papers.

However, grandma doesn't pay much attention to tea. She likes the Camellia from the students.

She is used to the bulk tea bought in the town.

Lin Dong didn't like tea when he was a child.

Because it's too bitter.

At that time, he liked sweet things, such as sweet drinks, sweet dumplings, bean curd and so on. He was most excited when he boiled sugar water on New Year's day.

How time flies Lin Dong felt that he had grown up in the blink of an eye. His old voice and smile were especially in front of him. The joyful laughter seemed to reverberate in his ears. But his grandmother, who had been busy inside and outside before, disappeared quietly. Reach out, no matter how eager, how hard, also can't grasp that wisp of unconsciously sneak away childhood.

Lin Dong washed the tea set that his grandmother used. He used to make tea for her. Her joy and praise were his strongest motivation. When Lin Dong was a child, he always hoped that he could grow up faster and become an adult. Later, he made a lot of money and came back to be filial to her old people.

But he never noticed grandma's aging.

In his heart.

Grandma is never old.

It wasn't until she fell down one day and couldn't get up any more that she panicked and realized that she hadn't been with her all these years

When the water boiled, Lin Dong did not use the immortal tea that Xiuzhen world had brought back. Instead, he put the local Camellia into the teapot, just like Grandma used to do. When he closed the lid, Lin Dong gave a pause and added a pinch. Grandma prefers stronger tea, because she often stays up late, but doesn't rest at twelve. Sitting in front of grandma's desk, waiting quietly until the fragrance of tea filled the whole room, my mind returned from the sea of memories. To be honest, the aroma of camellia is not only compared with the immortal tea in Xiuzhen world, but also compared with the spirit tea in youyou cottage. It's the existence of dregs.

However, a warm childhood memories, let Lin Dong's heart particularly hot paste.

airily.

I poured a cup of tea.

The color of the tea is very deep, take it up, a fine product, the taste is also very strong, the entrance is bitter.

I don't know why, in this situation, Lin Dong's heart suddenly came up with the saying "tea is the hometown of thick", a kind of understanding arises spontaneously, grandma likes to drink tea, maybe that's why! At that time, my grandmother gave up everything in the big city and returned to her hometown to teach in the poor mountain area for decades. Many people didn't understand why, and Lin Dong didn't understand it all the time.

Now, he understood grandma's wish.
