After dinner, those who came to help went back, leaving only their own family in the room. At this time, Zi Peng brewed tea and poured a cup for each of them. Big brother Wen Tian drank a cup of tea and was about to return with his sister-in-law. Zi Peng walked them to the door. Wen Zhan and his wife stayed in Hun Jiang because of their family. Zi Peng and Brother Wen Zhan were drinking tea and chatting. Amongst the three of them, the most suitable ones were number two and number three. Every time Wen Zhan came back, he would stay at Zi Peng Clan, and he rarely went to his big brother's house. Perhaps it was because of his personality. After drinking a mouthful of tea, Zi Peng said:

"Wen Zhan, Master went. I feel that there are quite a few things missing from this room, it's a bit empty. "When you guys leave tomorrow, it will be even emptier."

"second brother, actually, my heart isn't feeling well at all when I die. When we first came here, I was only 9 years old and had just gotten the hang of it. The next year, my grandpa sent me to the seventh team of elementary schools. At that time, the family was very poor and still owed a lot of debt. It's even more difficult for me to go to school in these difficult days. I finished primary school and went to middle school, all thanks to my lord. Even though I'm a worker now, it all has to do with going to school. second brother, do you think I can feel it? Uncle treated me like his own. I left home as a worker, I didn't have time to be filial to him, thanks to the second brother you for me. Therefore, I am also very grateful to you. " Wen Zhan said excitedly.

"Wen Zhan, all of these are already in the past, why are you still mentioning it? No matter what, the old man was still a blessing in disguise. All these years, his life had been better, he did not need to worry about food or clothes, and he could even listen to the radio and watch TV. It could be considered that he had enjoyed a few years of blessings. However, once he leaves, he would be able to dodge quite a bit. " Wen Zhan raised his teacup, took a sip of the tea, placed the cup down, and said:

"second brother, when we first came, I didn't want to call him grandpa. He thought to himself: Can you treat us well after finding someone else? There was no bottom to his heart, and he couldn't make a turn for a long time. But later on, he was sincere to us. He then replied, "Lu Yao is just a person of great power. It's been a long time since I've seen the people of the world." After that, I called him grandpa. I really didn't expect him to be so good to us in the future. "

"Third brother, I am a bit of a blabbermouth. However, that was for our own good. Think about it. If he hadn't raised us, would you have become a worker? Can I be the secretary of the brigade? "No matter what, I will do my best for you."

The two of them drank tea as they talked, and before they knew it, it was dark. At this time, the mother came over and said:

"You two bros aren't done talking yet. Everyone's waiting for you to eat?"

After dinner, they did not speak for the entire night. The morning of the second day, Wen Zhan and his wife went back to the Hun Jiang. Zipeng didn't work today, he had to pack up his things. The old man had gone. His things had basically been cremated, so the room needed to be rearranged.

At this moment, her mother's mood was worse than anyone else's. She had tears in her eyes and would not easily let them drop. Although mother and foster father were not husband and wife since they were young, they had lived together for 25 years. Twenty-five years of time, could it be said that he had no feelings? There had been times when they had quarrelled; there had been times when they had been unhappy. But that was because the family was poor, and there was no end to eating; it was because there was no money. 25 years of time could be said to be the journey of a person's half a lifetime. He and his mother were also husband and wife for half a lifetime! Now that he was gone, his mother was alone, not a single person to talk to. Do you think my mother will be able to calm down?

At this moment, Zi Peng saw through his mother's thoughts and knew what she was thinking. and came over to my mother and said,

"Mother, your grandpa has left. He's having a great time, don't be sad anymore." People can't be revived when they die. What if you get too sad and fall ill? Mother, starting from tonight, let Cheng Hua, Tsinghua and Yu Hua accompany you to sleep. " Mother nodded in agreement …

Zi Peng came out of his room. He wanted to use this time to take a breath of fresh air. He suddenly recalled that he had forgotten about the ginseng because his foster father had passed away in the past few days. I wonder if there's anything wrong with the five drapers now? He strolled over to the ginseng garden and saw that it was alright. The ginseng was very spirited, and there was nothing wrong with it. The growth was vigorous, dense and lush, with seeds growing on the top of the ginseng. Seeing this, Zi Peng's heart finally relaxed.

Since the fall of 1984, Zi Peng had planted these five ginseng curtains. After careful management, he had succeeded. Originally, there was a chopstick as thick as chopsticks, but now, there was a carrot as thick as chopsticks. Previously, there was a No. 8 chopstick as thick as chopsticks, but now, there was a thumb as thick as chopsticks. After unearthing, each plant had three forks, also known as three leaves; now there were six forks, all six leaves. In these three short years, he came to see her almost every day, sometimes even several times a day. One night, he had to get up at least three times. Right now, the water color of the ginseng was really pleasing, he was really happy for it.

Zi Peng thought to himself, "Although this autumn, ginseng could be unearthed and exchanged for money, but I can't let my guard down." Don't forget, there's still a summer to go. A hot, rainy, sick summer. All diseases are acquired at high temperatures and in hot weather. Summer is the most suitable time for the breeding and spreading of germs. If there was the slightest negligence, everything would have been for naught. They would have been wiped out. They would have lost everything. Therefore, he kept reminding himself to take medicine on time and pour water every half month. This year was the last year, and he still had to catch up with her again.

Ever since Wang Zipeng became the Secretary of the Party Branch of Taoyuan Village, he had been doing the work of gathering medicine and watering water early in the morning. He had never interfered with the work just to manage the ginseng. He thought: There's nothing to do today anyway. First, I'll ferment the bean cake in the morning, then I'll water it in the afternoon, and then I'll take another shot tomorrow morning. After that, I can go straight to work. He had been at home for three days, and he had no idea how the village work was progressing. Although Deng Chunming told him to rest at home for a few more days, he was still worried about the matters of the village. Besides, people should know their own worth, so he should take the initiative. Right now, his adoptive father's funeral was over. Today, he would pour water on the ginseng once more. Tomorrow, he could go to the village and work. As he thought of this, a smile appeared on his face. He cut the bean cake into thin pieces and put it in the water jar. Then, he used a plastic cloth to tighten the opening to prevent air from entering the bowl. This way, the fermentation would be very fast.

When it was five in the afternoon, Zi Peng went to pour the ginseng from a bucket. His house is 200 meters away from the well, are uphill, pick a load of water back and forth takes 8 minutes. He picked up a handful of water and poured it into the spout, then poured it over the ginseng through the spout's small eyes. This method of watering, not only can not run the water, but also can make the water uniform absorption, nourish ginseng root, make ginseng quickly absorb. For this kind of watering, each curtain should be filled with at least 5 loads of water, and each curtain should be filled with 25 loads of water. These 25 loads of water took up to 200 minutes, or more than 3 hours, to be poured out again would take another hour, a total of 4 hours, and all of them would not be completed until 9 o'clock at night.

Just then, the eldest daughter, Cheng Hua, and the second daughter, Tsinghua University's father poured water on the ginseng. The two of them borrowed some water from the well and brought it to the ginseng garden. Cheng Hua was 19 years old, stood 1.6 meters tall, had a pretty face, spirited eyes, and two oily black braids on the back of his head. After graduating from junior high school in 1985,he helped work at home; Tsinghua University, 17 years old, 1.55 meters tall, looked similar to Cheng Hua, she had just graduated from junior high school this year.

With the help of the two of them, the speed of watering ginseng increased. Zi Peng could only water here. He had originally planned to take 4 hours to finish, but now he could do it in 2 hours. At around 7 PM, he successfully finished watering the ginseng. The sky was extremely long, and the sun had yet to set. Coming out of the ginseng garden, I went home happily. When he returned home, his mother had already prepared dinner. At this time, Third daughter Yu Hua also returned from school. The family ate dinner together. In the past, there had been seven people eating. The round table was fully filled. Today, however, there were only six people eating. Although there was one less person, it seemed like there was quite a bit less people. Seeing one less person to eat, they would experience love. As a result, the family lost their interest in eating dinner and sunk back into grief …

Wang Zipeng finished taking care of his adoptive father's funeral, rested at home for a day, and went to work on June 24th. When he walked to the front of Yu Lixia's house, he suddenly remembered that she had already finished ordering a 'Family' magazine for him, and the subscription receipt had never been delivered to her until now. She came when her foster father died. Because there were so many people, Rosia didn't ask. Today, as he walked up to the door of her house, he thought: I should send her the receipt so I don't forget to lose it later. Thinking of this, he put the bicycle by the side of the road and arrived at the home of Lisha. Lixia was feeding the pigs in the pigsty. Seeing that it was Zi Peng, he hurriedly put down the pig feed bucket and led Zi Peng into the house. She first poured him a cup of hot water and looked at him with tender, affectionate eyes.

"second brother, what brings you here? You can come to my house on your own accord, you are such a rare guest. I wonder what experience second brother has today. "

"little sister, you asked me to order a 'Home' magazine for you last time, I finished it. The receipt was in my pocket for a long time, I had forgotten to give it to you. Going to work today, walking to your house, suddenly remembered, I came to give you a receipt. One more month and I'll be able to send you my 'family'. " He put the receipt on the table.

"second brother, sorry to trouble you. You see, you're so busy with your work, and I'm sorry I made trouble for you. second brother thanks you first. " she said sincerely.

"little sister, what are you thanking me for? "Xie" was a bit too polite when he said it. Who told us to be siblings? What's there to be embarrassed about? What, Gui Hong went to shovel the ground again? "

"No, he went to the City to buy pesticides. He left early in the morning. The corn was eaten clean by the worms, so they bought some pesticides to cure it. Otherwise, we won't receive any of them this year. "

"That's right, we have to treat the worms as soon as possible. If we delay their treatment, it will affect our output."

"It's all Gui Hong's fault. He rushed him to buy it two days ago, what did he say he was busy with? "It's only been two days and he's already amazing."

"little sister, keep the receipt properly. I will send you the book next month. "If I leave, you will only talk to me; you won't even be able to feed the pigs."

"second brother, you seem to be in such a hurry. There are usually things that you don't come to our house for. He had something to take care of today and was about to leave right after entering the house. Look at you, you haven't finished a glass of water? second brother, I really envy you. You see, when my master passed away, there were so many guests. If it was someone else, not to mention their adoptive father, even their biological father wouldn't be able to go to so many other people. I have heard them say that you are also a great filial son, and that you are both respectful and filial to your adoptive father. A good man like you is hard to find even with a lantern. second brother, we have a few brothers, but in the end, we can't even raise our own biological elders, and I have to serve him. second brother, do you think this is fair? " Lisa said indignantly.

"little sister, as a person, as long as your conscience is correct, it doesn't matter who it is." After he finished speaking, he picked up the cup of water and drank a cup of water before heading out.

"second brother, I won't send you off. If you have time in the future, come visit me often." She walked him to the gate...
