Picking mulberries

"Get off work so early?" When Cui Shicheng came back from the factory to pick up the latest front window glass album left at home, he was surprised to see his son came home from school at three o'clock.

"Anyway, I don't have any classes to attend at school, and I'm just reading in the laboratory, so it's better to go home." Since Shen Xiuping passed away, Gong Yaping knew that his disciple was too sad, so he gave him a long vacation, originally wanting him to go out and relax. Who knew that Cui Dongxu still reported to school every day, and would go home early if he had nothing to do.

"Find a girlfriend, let's go outside and play together, don't just stay at home." Cui Shicheng knew that his son hadn't recovered from the grief of losing his mother, and he was busy with the factory work recently, so he didn't pay much attention to his son. .

"Let's talk about it, you can't find that thing just by looking for it." When the word girlfriend came out of his father's mouth, Cui Dongxu felt strange no matter how he heard it.

"How about riding a horse?" The album was waiting, Cui Shicheng turned it out from the bookshelf, and said casually, "A few friends always invite me to go, I'm not interested in that livestock, why don't you go play? "

"Pull it down, it's purely a money-burning pastime. Didn't Mr. Lu mention it at home last time, it costs four to five hundred to train a saddle for a horse, and three to four thousand a month for foster care, let alone buy a saddle. The money for the horses." Cui Dongxu knew that his father was worried about him, so he comforted him, "You can do your work, I am not a child, I will take care of myself, and besides, the school's research tasks are heavy, and it is too late to deal with the evaluation. How can I have time? go play."

"The more books you read, the more troublesome you will be. If you want to teach a book, you still have to do some kind of evaluation and selection. Didn't you say that you just immersed yourself in scientific research? Why do you suffer from the crime of being tortured? If you feel tired, don't do it." You can't show your ambitions." Cui Shicheng didn't care much about Gong Yaping and his son who devoted themselves to learning every day.

"My ambition lies in those flowers and plants," Cui Dongxu took the red dates, lotus seeds, and wolfberry soup brought by Su's mother, and smiled at his father, "The joy of life lies in those mulberry, cotton, rice, and millet. Without them, there is no spiritual entrustment." Well. The life of the teachers and staff in the school is the same, no matter how tired you are, don’t worry about me, I am also a dignified teacher of the people.”

"How do you make this stuff?" Cui Shicheng looked at Cui Dongxu's dim sum and frowned, "Don't we have bird's nest and abalone at home?"

"Teacher Cui doesn't like those things, and asked me to do them specifically." Mama Su said cautiously.

"I'm a student of agricultural research, so I naturally know what's best for my body, and I can only accept these tastes, and I can't eat anything else," Cui Dongxu urged when his father looked unhappy, "Okay, okay, you Go and do your work, Master Gao is still waiting outside." Master Gao is Cui Shicheng's driver Gao Minhong.

"Remember to combine work and rest, it's too exhausting." Cui Shicheng sighed.

"I know, I know, I go to play golf when I'm free, and I practiced at home. Mr. Xiu's younger brother asked me out a few times, and we will go with him next time."

"That's good, we should play with them more." Cui Shicheng said happily.

After going out, Cui Shicheng, who got into the car, looked at the gate of his house, still feeling uneasy, so he said to Gao Minhong who was driving: "Go to Kaiqisi later, you can call Xiao Shen first." Kaiqisi is the company Shen He works for.

"Send something there or have an appointment with his boss?" Gao Minhong asked.

"Just ask Xiao Shen to come out. In the evening, I will have dinner with Yuemei's Mr. Chu, and we will go eat together."

On this day, in order to revise the research draft, Gong Yaping left Cui Dongxu in the office to discuss for a long time. Finally, he had an appointment and rushed to attend a dinner. Cui Dongxu cleaned up the mess and went home to let Su Ma deal with it Forget about the stomach.

When Cui Dongxu got home, he was surprised to see his uncle sitting on the sofa leisurely and happily, watching TV while eating the seasonal fruits prepared by Su Ma.

"Hey, what kind of wind blows your old man here today." Cui Dongxu put down his bag and sat down beside him.

"Nephew, the family has run out of food, and my uncle came to you today to apply for disaster relief aid. The whole family is waiting to be fed, and I hope that you will show kindness and pity me, the people at the bottom of society." Shen He said bitterly.

"Hey, don't insult the lower class. You are an accomplice of the capitalists. It would be nice if you don't bully us kind-hearted grassroots people." Cui Dongxu didn't pay attention to his uncle's cuteness at all. Want to find some value in me."

"It hurts my self-esteem." Shen He rubbed his heart exaggeratedly, "It's really chilling for a son of a rich family to speak."

"If it's not, then I'll search you." Cui Dongxu laughed.

"Oh? I still have that value?" Shen He smiled hippiely.

"I wanted to call you at first, but I didn't expect my uncle to come to your door."

"Why do I have the feeling that someone is a knife and I am a fish." Shen He felt cold all over his body.

"Don't worry, you don't need to sweat and bleed, I just use your old man's head to do it."

"Can I lend this thing to you? Theoretically, I can't even use it as a football player." Shen He patted his head and said.

"You don't need to take it down," Cui Dongxu was left speechless by the old boy, "there is a sentence in the English version of the book that I don't understand, so I want to ask my uncle to translate it."

"Oh, so that's what happened," Shen He immediately made up his mind, "It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of brain cells to die."

"Oh, please translate the sentence, what kind of sky-high price do you want to offer?" Cui Dongxu rolled his eyes at his uncle, "Replenishment, I will make up for you how many brain cells died."

"Oh my god, what kind of eyes do you have, how many young girls fall under your suit pants with such charm, I can't bear it as a masculine man, let alone any beauty can resist this temptation , middle-aged, young and young are all killed."

"You sit down, I'll get the book." Cui Dongxu didn't bother to care about this old bastard and went straight upstairs.

When the uncle and nephew were chatting and laughing, Mama Su kept cleaning the stereo with a smile on her side. When Cui Dongxu went upstairs, she prepared to go to the back kitchen to prepare dinner, but was stopped by Shen He, saying that the two of them would go out to eat later.

Seeing Ruo Da's living room, although the golden wall is brilliant, it can't hide the deserted and empty Xiao Su, Shen He can't help but secretly sigh in his heart, after the elder sister left, this house is even less like a home, brother-in-law is busy with business, often outside Entertainment, such a big family, how desolate it is to eat alone at home.The nephew who is seriously unable to take care of herself is taken care of by Mama Su in daily life, but she has been taken care of by her elder sister since she was a child. Now that she has left, how can she adapt? Will she buy her underwear when it is worn out? Ah, will you find out if the button on the shirt is off?The second sister is completely out of the way of the Cui family, the third sister is annoyed by the two daughters, and the fourth sister...not to mention, she has to be taken care of by her husband, ouch, it seems that I have to spend more time on it. Help him, and become an uncle and mother again.

Shen He secretly calculated, planning to take his nephew out to eat and drink every day, and bring his wife and children with him along the way. One is to make fun, and the other is to save family expenses. Anyway, his nephew usually does not spend his money.

"Baby nephew," seeing Cui Dongxu going downstairs with a book, Shen He half-jokingly said, "This place is so big, why don't you ask Zhixie to come and accompany you?"

"Let's put it down, Mama Su is too busy taking care of me alone, how can she care for the children," Cui Dongxu said angrily, "It's not like your own son doesn't know, he's very naughty."

"You hire another nanny." Shen He said lightly.

"It's easy to put it bluntly, as expected of a financial expert, he's good at settling accounts." Cui Dongxu said insightfully.

"I'm thinking about you. How interesting it is to have multiple people in the family arguing." Shen He thought to himself, usually he is busy with work, and sometimes he has to go abroad for business trips or something. Putting his son here will somewhat help his nephew get out of grief.The eldest brother-in-law is also true. I am too busy to stay home for three days, so I am here to enlighten his son, but I am also a busy person.

"Don't tell me," Cui Dongxu said while flipping through the book, "I will take my grandma to live with me in a while, and she agreed."

"My old lady is coming over, good thing, good thing." Hearing that, Shen He felt much more relaxed.Although the son loves to make trouble, the old lady loves to chatter. Besides, she is an intellectual of the older generation, so it will be much better with her.

"Here, that's the sentence, I can't understand it anyway." Cui Dongxu pointed to a line of words and approached Shen He and said.

Shen He read that paragraph of English back and forth, and said with a smile: "I don't even know that, you learned Qingyuan's local accent in college English, right?"

"The cotton mealybug is ranked 86th. What does this sentence mean? It doesn't make sense. The whole paragraph doesn't mention the ranking of pest damage." Cui Dongxu was puzzled.

"You misunderstood, the meaning of this sentence is very simple, put it here first, and I will explain it to you at the dinner table." Shen He laughed.

"The food hasn't been served yet, let's talk about it first." Cui Dongxu urged.

"I told Mama Su that we're going to eat out today."

"Oh yeah, I knew it would be like this. You petty bourgeoisie, you always think that eating out is romantic and romantic, and eating with two big men is romantic." Cui Dongxu had no choice but to get up.No matter what he wants, I'm really hungry, Su's mother didn't prepare a meal, so she had to go out to eat.

They found a high-end western restaurant not far from home, and the two ordered what they wanted, chatting while sipping foreign wine.

"What do you mean?" Cui Dongxu asked.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Shen He was startled.

"Nonsense, of course it's what I asked you just now."

"That sentence means 'American white moth is not included in the above-mentioned pests' or translated as 'the above-mentioned pests exclude American white moth'." Shen He gracefully picked up his glass and took a sip.

"Really?" Cui Dongxu couldn't believe it.

"You are really a two hundred and five." Shen He said with a light smile.

"You are only two hundred and five," Cui Dongxu stared, "Just to translate a sentence, so that you can eat and drink well, it costs me hundreds of dollars, and I don't appreciate it when I'm full."

"You also know that two hundred and five does not refer to a number here," Shen He said contemptuously, "similarly, 'eighty-six' here does not refer to the number 86, but an American slang meaning 'excluded, not included' .”

"Oh, that's right." Cui Dongxu said with some embarrassment.

"In the past, their ships had 85 seats, and they could only carry 85 passengers. If you were in seat 86, you would not be allowed to board the ship. Slowly, they used the number 86 to refer to 'refused'. The meaning of reception and exclusion." Shen He explained in detail.

"Wow, uncle is really knowledgeable and talented." Cui Dongxu flattered him.

"That is, how can you be Dr. Cui's uncle if you are not knowledgeable." Shen He said very well.

"Although I'm not ashamed of my uncle's petty bourgeoisie, I still envy you. You have a successful career and a happy family. What more can you ask for in life?" Cui Dongxu was amused when he saw his uncle's tone of voice. But I really admire his memory and knowledge.

"Hurry up and find a wife too, I'm almost worried to death." Shen He said suddenly.

"Why are you talking about this again?" Cui Dongxu frowned, "Do you have a spot for sale?"

"Hey, look at your old uncle as a human trafficker." Shen He glared and said, "Lonely, looking shabby, not short of money and not lacking in appearance, how can you not be able to deceive a woman."

"It's as if you tricked my aunt," Cui Dongxu said with a smile, "It's just that the fate has not yet arrived. Once the fate arrives, you can't run away."

"I hope so," Shen He curled his lips, "Are you free during this time, why don't you go out and have fun together?"

"Where to go?"

"Switzerland. I'm going there on a business trip for a while, come with me to have a look? Let's relax."

"It's too far away, there's no time."

"Please take a long vacation."

"Forget it, I'm not that interested," Cui Dongxu shook his head and said, "I'm going to go down for a walk in a few days."

"Oh, where are you going? Is it for the alfalfa cooperation project between Kekis and your college?" Shen He asked with some concern.

"Yes, I'm going to do practice, but it's not that project, so I'm going around in circles around our Qingyuan."

"Hey, I wanted to take you out to relax, but I didn't expect you to be so boring." Shen He said with contempt.

"I'm learning and entertaining at the same time."

"Where are you going to go, out of the province?"

"You don't even need to leave the city," Cui Dongxu smiled, "We want to see Sanghai in Longgong and the tea mountains in Qingxi."

"It's almost winter, what can you see." Shen He said disdainfully.

"You don't understand. This is the best time to investigate pests and diseases," Cui Dongxu said with a smile, "Besides, going to the Long Palace is mainly for fun. I heard that they have added a new attraction, and they specially go there every year. There are a lot of tourists."

"Really? Why don't I know."

"A materialistic person like you must not be interested in that scenic spot."

"Yo ho, kid, uh, you're burying your old uncle, right?" Shen He tried to restrain him, "Tell me, what kind of elegance is it?"

"Tianhao Garden."

"What is Tianhao Garden?"

"All roses are planted, and there are all kinds of roses."

"That's really not interesting."
