Chapter 398 Prayer
On the Lantern Festival, Qin Dahe accompanied his mother to Hefei.

The two little ones are too young and are not suitable for riding in the car for three hours.

It was very troublesome to change diapers and feed the baby there, so I didn't bring it with me.

Qin's father also had to help take care of the children at home, so the mother and son went there.

The younger uncle was still very polite. He kept calling his elder sister and never mentioned that he did not come back on the 10th.

I also gave the twins 200 yuan, which is considered acceptable.

Mother Qin didn't care, her heart had already turned cold.

She mainly asked how the old couple was living here and whether there was anything they were not adapting to.

No matter how much resentment you have, your parents will still care about you.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that everything was fine living here.

"Ajun, I don't blame you. Just take good care of your parents."

"I know. It's pretty good for my parents to live here. The vegetable market is nearby." What he didn't say was that I could also help him look after the stationery store.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to find something for the elderly to do. If they stay idle all day, they will get sick.

Grandpa and grandma kept asking the little one, and Qin Dahe told them about the twins, a boy and a girl, and said that he would bring them over to play with when they grow up a little.

No matter how partial they are, the two old people still cherish their great-grandson.

"If I had known, I would have moved later. There would be more shows to watch." Grandma patted her grandson's shoulder with a smile.

"Dahe is a good earner. Lan'er will have a better life from now on."

Mother Qin raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "The little one is going out fishing soon. Yanyan will be working in April, and she'll have to throw a lot of things at me. I don't know if I'll be able to come over."

She got angry when she thought about this. It was unrealistic to expect Qin's father to take care of two twins alone and do the housework.

The family has contracted a fish pond. Although it is not suitable to set nets this year, we still have to patrol the pond and fish out the dead fish in time. Qin's father has to do all this.

"If you work hard, you can always finish it. Your grandma took care of five children by herself and also had to work in the fields, but she still managed to bring them out."

Mother Qin curled her lips. Twins at home must be raised carefully. How can they be raised the same as before?

"My second aunt is working as a helper. When the time comes, let her take care of you. The wages will still be paid." Qin Dahe said indifferently, "Ah Feng doesn't have any children anyway."

"Go away, you just find trouble for me every day." The mother glared at her son in annoyance.

It’s ridiculous to go so far to fish. It’s not like there’s no fish in the Yuxi River.

The reason why Qin Dahe doesn't fish locally is that there are no giant black carp. There are many fishing nets in Chaohu Lake and the Yangtze River as well.

The middle section of the Yuxi River cannot produce fish weighing 200 kilograms, so it is more reliable to go to Jinniu Lake.

What he wants is explosive news, to create some hype so as to sell bait.

Of course, it’s also great to catch a 200-pound herring.

After having lunch at the restaurant at noon, the mother and son went to visit their grandparents' house.

They are all new furniture, probably bought by my uncle, including a TV and a refrigerator.

Although the decoration is simple, it is much better than in the countryside, but I found a lot of garbage on the balcony.

"Dad, did you pick this up?"

"Well, you can pick up these things in an afternoon and sell them for three or four yuan." Grandpa said proudly, "If you pick up a little when you go out, you can save one or two thousand yuan a year."

"That's good. It's really easy to make money in big cities."

Qin's mother also thought this was great. She could earn three or four dollars in half a day without feeling tired. It was difficult to make money at such an old age in the countryside.

"Ajun, can we build a small warehouse with iron sheets in this neighborhood to store these things? It's a bit dirty to keep them at home."

"Sister, this city is not a rural area. It's managed by the property management company." My uncle said helplessly.

It doesn’t matter in rural areas. You can just use asbestos tiles to enclose a warehouse of a few square meters, and it will be yours by default. In big cities, the property management is in charge.

After confirming that the old couple felt comfortable living there, the mother and son said goodbye.

Although the eldest brother came to the full moon banquet, the younger brother did not attend either his son's wedding or the hundred-day banquet. It was obvious that he did not want to socialize. What was the point of staying here? If it weren't for the parents living here, Qin's mother would not want to come at all.

On the way back, we still took the provincial road, and when we arrived at Chaohu, we could clearly feel the difference.

In the afternoon, the provincial roads are full of buses and large trucks, but very few cars.

The road was full of traces left by the Hundred Ton King. The asphalt road was bulging in the middle and had obvious dents on both sides.

There are a lot of modified cars here, and the roads have been completely damaged.

The provincial road is surrounded by mud houses and iron houses. The old buses on the road have large patches of paint peeling off, and they are shaky when they drive on the provincial road.

The suburbs of Anhui are really poor.

Just by looking at the farmers' houses, you can tell that the people in Dongxiang are living a very good life now.

When we arrived at Wuwei, which is also a rural area, most of the houses here are tiled houses and bungalows, and most weddings are held in high-rise buildings.

The woman's request for two floors is not excessive.

National-level poverty-stricken counties are not just a title, but also come with various subsidy policies that affect farmers' income in various aspects.

For example, land tax, seeds, fertilizers, subsidies for major flower-making factories, etc. have all been implemented.

He doesn't know the leader's reputation, but if he can implement these things, he is a good leader.

Sometimes, "angry young people" like Qin's father would curse a few words, but Qin Dahe would always speak up for them, saying, "What's wrong with eating and drinking? Just get the job done."

After crossing the stone stream, you will soon reach Longwangguai.

"Son, stop for a moment. Mom is going to light some incense." Mother Qin suddenly said.

"Oh."

The car stopped and the mother and son got out.

"Pray for the green pines and green porcelain. I don't ask for them to be rich or powerful, but just to grow up safely and healthily." She sighed.

My son is also a capable person, definitely better than my younger brother, but he still has to take care of the whole family and live a good life.

My eldest daughter is also very active in visiting us, which is great.

Entering the temple, I received incense, lit it, and prayed.

The temples are quite lively during the Lantern Festival. There is no special meaning in the Lantern Festival for people here, and everyone just does what they are supposed to do.

Generally, after the Lantern Festival, those who work go back to work, those who earn money go back to earn money, and the New Year is over.

After bowing twice sincerely, they both had the same thought in their hearts, which was that they just wanted their family to be safe and healthy.

Like my uncle, he didn't come back for the New Year for two years in order to make money, and his sister has become estranged from them. It's not worth it.

Qin Dahe thought silently in his heart that it would be great if he could earn more property for his sister and brother so that they could support themselves in the future.

The eldest daughter marries closer and is given a larger dowry. She can buy whatever she wants without having to consider the husband's family's opinion.

As for my son, he doesn't have to work hard to start a business or be a slave. When he grows up, he will have everything that others have.

The life of college students born after 00 is really hard. After going through the most rigorous competition, they find out after graduating from college that they have to be picked and chosen even if they are to be slaves or beasts of burden.

Being a slave is still relatively easy, but starting a business is even harder, and you can easily become a deadbeat if you’re not careful.

Not to mention starting a business as a college student, he had been working in machining for so many years and had accumulated many customers, but in the end the factory was almost unable to survive.

It's too competitive. Everyone from bosses to employees in all walks of life is involved in it.

"Son, you won't go out to do business in the future, will you?" After burning the incense, Qin's mother put down twenty yuan for incense money and turned to look at him. Her son was very capable.

"At most I'll go out fishing. I will definitely live with you. The big city is boring." Qin Dahe shook his head.

"That's good, we can live a good life in the countryside." After hearing the answer, she felt satisfied. After all, her son was reliable.

"Go home. I haven't seen the little guy for most of the day. I miss him so much."
