Brother Rui also saw the shadow. He tried his best to swim towards Mengmeng, but Mengmeng floated further and further away. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it. Erwa, Xiaonan, and Xiaobei also found out that something was wrong. They all wanted to swim to save Mengmeng, but seeing that Mengmeng was getting closer to the shadow, they were too far away to swim there at all.
Wuwa was also frightened, standing on the shore crying like a tearful man, the black shadow as big as a small house was just behind Mengmeng, he cried and said, "What should I do? Will my sister be eaten?"
Feng Yimin saw this scene as soon as he came to the beach, his heart was about to jump out of his throat, he rushed over and shouted heart-rendingly: "Mengmeng!"
"Dad!" Mengmeng raised her head from the sea and saw her father. She was so happy that she floated back with her calves.
Feng Yimin plunged into the water abruptly. He just got home and put down his luggage. He heard from his mother that Mengmeng went to the beach to play. He hadn't seen his daughter for two or three months. I ran to the beach to find Mengmeng. I didn't expect to see a dark shadow behind Mengmeng. As a fisherman by the sea, of course he knew that there were many giant beasts on the bottom of the sea. He didn't dare to think about what would happen to Mengmeng if the creature hurt her. He just wants to swim to Mengmeng's side quickly to protect her.
Fortunately, God is helping him. He jumped into the sea and hit a wave, Mengmeng floated to his side along the wave, and he quickly reached out to hook Mengmeng back and hugged her small body tightly. Only then did he realize that his whole body was shaking.
He didn't bother to look at Mengmeng, so he swam desperately to the shore with her, until the soles of his feet stepped on the sand, he picked up Mengmeng and rushed to the beach, knelt there and carefully examined her, Finding that Mengmeng didn't have any wounds on her body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow, the big fish is gone." The beach was filled with little dolls who had just escaped from the sea. As soon as they saw the dark shadow, they ran back. Now they are standing on the beach looking at the sea, but there's no longer any Shadow of the big fish.
The brothers didn't have the heart to see the big fish, so they also swam ashore and cried around Mengmeng's side and asked, "Is my sister okay? Have you been bitten by a fish?"
"Shut up, I'll clean up all of you later." Feng Yimin glanced at them angrily, especially Erwa. How old is Mengmeng? Why did she run into the sea by herself? It must be because her brothers were not doing well by looking at her. He recalled the big fish just now, maybe it was a shark, and he was so afraid in his heart.
Several brothers shed tears and dared not speak any more.
Feng Yimin didn't feel relieved after thinking about it. He rubbed his daughter's shoulder and said earnestly, "Mengmeng promised your father that you would not go to the sea in the future. The sea is too dangerous, do you know that?"
Mengmeng turned her head to look at the sea, and was still a little hesitant in her heart. But she wanted to be an obedient and good child, so she had to tell her friends in her consciousness, go back first, and come to play with me later. Feeling her friends had turned around and left, Mengmeng nodded her head with confidence, and said obediently, "Well, I know."
Feng Yimin pinched her pink face lovingly, hugged her in his arms and said, "Mengmeng is such a good girl, Dad will take you home now."
He glanced at a few boys on the ground, and when he saw that they were still crying, he stared at them and said, "You guys, come up soon."
Feng Yimin walked back to the village with Mengmeng in his arms. Only then did he have time to take a good look at his daughter. She has grown a lot since last time. Her little arms and calves are all fleshy, white and tender like the lotus root festival, and she is always exposed to the sun. Not black. It's not like I went to the south by myself, and the sun was much darker than before. The sunshine in the south is more savage than they are here. He weighed Mengmeng on his arm, and found that his daughter was secretly looking at him and instantly opened his mouth to reveal two rows of white teeth and said, "Dad is tanned, does Mengmeng still remember Daddy?"
Of course Mengmeng remembered her father. She laughed until her big eyes were bent, and she nodded her head vigorously and shouted: "Dad".
That voice was sweet and soft, full of deep admiration and dependence, which made Feng Yimin feel like he was filled with honey. He just wanted to love his daughter as a sweetheart. He softly coaxed her and said, "Dad Mengmeng came back with a gift, don't you want ice? Dad brought it to you."
Mengmeng blinked and thought about it with her head tilted. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember when she was going to pass the ice, and she also forgot the fact that she was going to pass the cake. But she knew what a gift was, like the bead on her neck was a gift, she stretched out her fingers and fiddled with the beads, it was cool and comfortable, she liked gifts.
When Feng Yimin walked into the house, he saw his parents still packing their luggage in the hall. He brought back several packages and boxes this time. He and Guangming were half tired before they carried them home.
The old couple turned around when they heard the sound, and at a glance they saw that Mengmeng was soaked all over, her beautiful little clothes and trousers were also wet, her hair was still dripping, and even her braids were messed up.
Madam Feng rushed over and said, "What's wrong with this? Mengmeng fell into the water? My dear, show it to grandma."
Feng Yimin shoved Mengmeng into his mother's arms and said, "Mom, Mengmeng is fine, go and change her into clean clothes so that she won't catch a cold later."
When Mengmeng went into the room, Feng Yimin had a gloomy face, dragged Erwa and let him lie on his lap, beat his buttocks hard, and said a lesson: "Let you take your sister to the beach to play. If you don't look at your sister well, I'll beat you to death, you stinky boy, do you hear me?"
Erwa was lying on his father's knee. He was beaten so badly that he didn't dare to beg for mercy. He was also frightened today. The shadow was so big that he could swallow Mengmeng in one bite. It's like this, he felt terrible when he thought about it, and said with a small face: "I don't dare anymore, woo woo..."
The three babies, the four babies and the five babies were also frightened. Even now, they are still crying and crying. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the adults in the room. Only Liuwa was too young and ignorant. They were crying there, and he felt that it was a joke and laughed silly.
Brother Rui looked down at the ground with his eyes down. He didn't cry, but his fingers kept shaking. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Uncle Feng, it's all my fault, it's because I didn't take good care of my sister."
Feng Yimin took Erwa aside. How old is Brother Rui? If he kisses Mengmeng again, how many older brothers can he kiss? He comforted him and said, "Brother Rui, it's none of your business. How many brothers does Mengmeng have? It's all her brother's fault. Remember, don't go to a dangerous place next time, okay?"
"Understood, Uncle Feng, I will be optimistic about Mengmeng in the future." Brother Rui felt guilty and lost. He was not from the old Feng family, and even if he was wrong, they would not beat him.
Feng Yimin looked at his little face that turned green and then white, and thought it was the child's fear, he patted his back and said, "Brother Rui, your father is back, you go home first. You also haven' seen your father for months."
Brother Rui sniffed back his tears and said, "Uncle Feng, then I'll go home."
As soon as Brother Rui walked out of the yard, the second and third children next door walked in. They all heard the movement just now and knew that the eldest brother had returned home. Unexpectedly, the cries of the children came out after a while. What's the matter, I hurried over to see it and found that the adults were all fine, only the little baby was crying there.
Zhao Chunhua hurriedly walked into the hall and said, "What's going on? Why are you crying?"
As an uncle, Feng Yimin was not easy to speak, so the old man Feng stood up and said: "These children took Mengmeng into the sea and there was a big fish behind them. If it wasn't for your big brother swimming fast, hey, short, this group of stinky boys just play and don't watch their sister."
Zhao Chunhua listened to the old man Feng's words, her face was getting longer and longer, a fierce light shot out from her eyes, she walked over and grabbed Xiaonan & Xiaobei and gave them slap on their behind several times. She knew that the uncle would definitely not teach these two boys a lesson. Mengmeng was still so young, so they didn't dare to let her go into the sea. And now she was almost in danger. Their grandfather was right, these two boys have itchy skin and must be treated properly. Treat them once, or you won't know what will happen next time.
Zhao Chunhua was used to farm work, and she was very physically strong. She grabbed the two little boys with one hand and beat them vigorously with the other, and scolded them, "You two bastards, what are you doing? Can you get Mengmeng into the sea? If you don't learn well at a young age."
Chen Hongmei's expression changed when she saw the Second Sister in law punish the kids. She was still a little worried just now. But It's alright now. Besides, the little dolls didn't do it on purpose. Why do you need to punish them with all your strength, isn't she not afraid of breaking her child's bones? The child she gave birth to is distressed, but her sister-in-law is obviously not distressed. Looking at who doesn't know, the uncle must have brought back a lot of good things when he went to the south. Looking at the room full of packages and boxes, her sister-in-law is planning to please the uncle, so as to get more benefits from him, no, no, You can't let her get the benefits alone.
When Chen Hongmei came to her senses, she walked over and grabbed Wuwa, opened his little hand and beat him fiercely several times. "Why did you go to the beach? Who told you to go? Would you dare next time?"
Wuwa kept crying when he came back from the beach, his sister was almost eaten by fish, then he would have no sister, his heart is already full of shadows. He howled in a hoarse voice: "I dare not, I will never again. I will not take my sister to the beach to play."
Chen Hongmei was still beating him fiercely and said, "How old is your sister? How old are you? Why don't you look at your sister? Why did you let her go into the sea?"
"Enough, what are you screaming about? The third family, shut up and stop crying. Next time, let Mengmeng go to a dangerous place and see if I don't cut your skin and hang you up."
Madam Feng had already checked Mengmeng in the house. She was fine, not even a single hole was broken, but when she thought of the big fish that her eldest son said just now, she couldn't help but be afraid. She refused to let go, and sat there to support her old man and said, "You took out the package just now and divided it. It's a rare thing that your eldest brother brought back from the south. You take it home and don't make any noise."
The little dolls were still choking there, but several adults looked at the package in Old Man Feng's hand, and saw him slowly opening it and dividing the contents into two parts, all of which they had never seen before. The rare thing, suddenly stared at the boss.
Feng Yimin pointed to the items and said, "Second brother, third brother, this is the most famous chicken cake and winter melon candy in Guangzhou. It tastes good. You can bring some back for the children to eat. Here are a few small handkerchiefs, all of them. I bought it in Guangzhou. There is no such style in our province. My younger brother and sister can take it back if they can use it. There are also two pairs of toad mirrors, which are specially reserved for you, and we can use them when we go to sea. ."
Several people were stunned when they held the pile of rare things. The chicken cakes were all made of yellow and clear oil and wax. They smelled very fragrant. That winter melon candy has never been heard of before. Each root is white and green, and it is as long as a finger. It must be a good thing. Those little red and bright handkerchiefs, I'll give you a mother, there are even several big beauties printed on them, they are even more beautiful than the fairies that day, Zhao Chunhua and Chen Hongmei are almost crazy with joy, this is obviously for They are prepared.
Feng Lao Er and Feng Lao San were even more excited. Following Feng Yimin's example, they put the toad mirror on their faces, and everything was completely dark. When they walked outside the main room, they didn't feel the sun dazzling their eyes at all. Now, they looked at each other's appearance, only to think that they had never been so fashionable in their life, and their mouths were about to go behind their ears.
Feng Lao Er took off the toad mirror and said, "Brother, isn't this expensive? Why should I take it home?"
Before Feng Yimin could speak, Madam Feng waved her hand directly and said, "I bought it for your use. Take it home. Your eldest brother is tired just now, so I won't leave you."
A few adults and children went back happily with gifts. Chen Hongmei walked at the back and couldn't help but look back at the main room. There were so many parcel boxes, and there must be a lot of good things in them. She sniffed and could smell it. The smell of abalone filled the air. No, her mother-in-law was staring at her. Chen Hongmei dragged Erwa & Luiwa, she was very unwilling, but she hurriedly walked out of the uncle's house.
"It's finally quiet, old man, go and close the door, don't let anyone in." Madam Feng waited until the gate of the yard was closed, then put Mengmeng on the chair, stood up and said, "Yi Min, why did you bring so many things? What are these things?"
Feng Yimin walked over and opened the packages one by one. They were full of large and small clothes. Madam Feng had never seen that style. Her eyes were about to fall.
She held up a pair of dark blue trousers and said, "Yimin, what kind of fabric are these trousers? They're so thick and good-looking. Hey, why do these trousers look like horns?"
"Mom, you are right. These are the most popular flared pants in the south. They are made of denim from Hong Kong. They are the strongest and most durable. I brought two for you and Dad."
Feng Yimin took out all the same things and said, "Mom, this is the shoulder pad shirt and vanishing cream I bought for you. This is the sea soul shirt I bought for Mengmeng's mother, and I will let her wear it when she comes back from school later. Try it. Dad, here's your floral shirt and toad mirror, do you like it?"
Old Man Feng was both happy and shocked. After a long time, he said, "Yimin, how did you get these things? We don't have so many votes in our family, and there are so many clothes worn by little dolls. where did you get the ticket?"
"Dad, you don't need tickets in the south. They are all self-employed. You can buy these things as long as you have money." Feng Yimin took out the clothes he bought for Dawa and Erwa. Soul shirts, toad mirrors, etc.This made Erwa so happy that he almost lost his breath. So many beautiful new clothes were actually given to him and his elder brother.
He grabbed a nice long box and said, "Dad, what is this? Is this for me too?"
Feng Yimin patted his head and said, "This is the stationery box I bought for you and your brother. This one in your hand is not yours, the one next to you is yours. When you go to school next year, I'll give it to you. Do you know how to study?"
Where have you seen this kind of stationery box? He carefully opened it, and there were several grids inside, in all colors, so beautiful that he wanted to cry. He wished he could go to school now, so that everyone could take a look at his stationery box.
Feng Yimin continued to dig things out, "Mom, these are all for Mengmeng, you see, there are also canned fruits given by the province. There are several kinds of rare fruits in them. I don't want to eat them myself, so I leave them to us to eat."
He took out several beautiful little skirts, including pink, light blue, bright yellow, etc., and put them on Mengmeng's body to compare and compare them. He smiled with great satisfaction and said, "This is my special purpose. The tutu skirt I bought from the shopping mall, look how beautiful this lace is, it is suitable for Mengmeng to wear, and Dad also bought you small sandals, Mengmeng see if you like it?"
Mengmeng has loved beauty since she was a child, and when she heard that these things were all for her, she immediately clapped her little hands and laughed, looking so happy.
Feng Yimin took out a row of colorful plastic hairpins from his pocket. My dear, there are a dozen or 20 of them. Each of them is very cute. He took one and clipped it to Mengmeng's hair. lining his daughter.
He put his hand into his pocket, smiled mysteriously and said, "Mengmeng, what did Dad bring you? Dangdangdangdang, electronic watch."
Madam Feng was numb from this series of surprises. Seeing these large and small electronic watches, the colors were so beautiful that they were not cheap. She saw the Shanghai watches sold in the provincial capital last time. Now, one costs hundreds of dollars. She took a deep breath and said, "Yimin, why did you buy so many watches? How much did you spend on so many things?"
Feng Yimin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mom, these things are not expensive. How much do you think this watch is worth? It costs 10 yuan a pound. You heard right, it's sold by the pound. There is a place that sells it. Everyone buys it like a sack by sack. After buying it, we take it directly to the train. Guangming and I bought 30 kilograms alone. They still don't want to sell it. It took a long time to sell it to us. "He took out an envelope from the bottom of the package and handed it to Mrs. Feng. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday when we returned to the provincial capital, Guangming and I sneaked out. The electronic watch that came out was sold. Guess how much it sold for? It sold for 1,360 yuan! Not only did we not spend money on this trip, but we also made some money back."
Madam Feng was dumbfounded to hear such a good thing. She weighed the envelope and said, "This electronic watch is too cheap, why don't you know how to bring more?"
Feng Yimin was a little embarrassed and said: "Mom, we are going with the province this time, the leaders are watching, how can I bring so many things? I bought these after watching others buy them, so I have to hide them. It's not good to be too conspicuous."
Madam Feng felt that it was very reasonable, so she couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's true. The things in the south are really too good and too cheap. Those who live in the south are lucky."
"Isn't it? I only learned when I went to the South this time. The South has developed so well, and there are business opportunities everywhere. The people in the South are too rich, especially the people in Guangzhou. They are all on bicycles when walking on the streets. We also went to Shenzhen and Hainan, where Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong, and there are many foreigners, where there are more good things and cheaper."
Madam Feng opened her mouth wider and wider, and it took a long while to find her own voice and say, "My God, you actually saw foreigners, what do foreigners look like? Do they all look like monsters? Like?"
Feng Yimin couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Like us, foreigners have two eyes, one nose and one mouth. When we came back this time, a foreigner came with him. I went on a trip to the province."
"Tourism? What kind of thing is that?" Old man Feng can understand everything else, but he can't understand the tour. This vocabulary is really new.
Feng Yimin explained to him patiently: "The living habits of foreigners are different from ours. They have to go out on vacation every year, which is called tourism."
Old man Feng rolled his eyes and said with his teeth, "Isn't this just having nothing to do when you're full? It turns out that traveling is just going out and wandering around, and only foreigners have this kind of leisure."
Feng Yimin didn't see it that way. He went out to see the big world this time, and also saw some ways for southerners to make money. He was so hot in his heart that he planned to go back to Taoyuan Village for a big fight.
Madam Feng saw that he was stunned and didn't speak. She stretched out her toes and kicked him and said, "What are you thinking? What the hell is in that big box? I just moved Lao Shen."
Feng Yimin's spirits improved immediately, and he pointed at Mengmeng with a smile and said, "This is a gift for Mengmeng. Didn't she say she wanted ice when I left? I brought her an American-made ice drink machine. , it took me and Boss Guangming's efforts to bring it back, and it almost didn't kill us both."
When Mrs. Feng listened to him, she already felt that something was wrong in her heart. What Mengmeng said was obviously cake, why did it turn into ice? She saw that the eldest son had opened the box, and the machine inside was like a chest of drawers. Below was a silver-gray iron box. There was nothing inside, only a wire and a plug protruding outside.
She walked over and looked at the machine carefully. There were two large plastic boxes on top of the tin box, and there was an iron box in the middle. She carefully opened it and took a look.
The two large plastic boxes are transparent and contain nothing inside. There are also two rotary buttons under the box. She has seen these things in the provincial capital. Isn't that a faucet? She stretched out her hand and twisted it, but no water came out.
She thumped a few times in her heart, but felt that this thing would definitely not be cheap. She frowned and said, "Yimin, tell me honestly, how much did this machine cost?"
Feng Yimin stretched out a finger in embarrassment.
Madam Feng took a breath and said tentatively, "One hundred yuan?"
Seeing the eldest son shaking his head, her eyes widened again, and she said with a trembling voice, "Is it a thousand yuan? Old man, please hold me fast, this broken machine costs a thousand yuan, my god. "
Feng Yimin was embarrassed to tell her that she had to add three kilograms of sugar and orange to buy it. He touched the machine and said proudly: "Mom, I bought this at the Canton Fair. It's an authentic American machine. There is only such a machine in all of China, and I bought it back. Although it cost a thousand yuan, I have already made money from selling the watch, so this machine is a free gift."
Mrs. Feng was so painful that she seemed to have a knife in her heart. This eldest son is a big fool. How could anyone settle accounts like this? If he didn't buy this machine, their family's money would have increased by another thousand yuan. Now, it's better to save the money after buying such a useless thing.
The old man Feng also said in a particularly painful way: "Yimin, what are you thinking? Does this thing need electricity? We don't have electricity in our house. Only the brigade in the village has electricity. Where do you plan to use it? "
Feng Yimin had already made a decision in his heart, and patiently explained to them: "Mom and Dad, don't rush to listen to me, this ice drink machine will make some ice for Mengmeng, and it won't cost much electricity. I'll just resupply the brigade. When I came back, I found that the mountain road was about to be repaired, and Guangming and I only walked for three hours. After that, the transportation here will be much more convenient, and cars from outside can also enter. People in the city are well-off these days, do you still remember what I said about travel? If they come to visit us, it's summer, wouldn't they want to drink some cold water?"
After Feng Yimin said these words in one breath, he turned around and hugged Mengmeng and praised her: "Our family Mengmeng is a lucky baby, and he can say a way to make money casually. Look at this ice drink machine, Mengmeng. Hey, smile, you also like this don't you?"
Mrs. Feng was moved by his words. She knew that Mengmeng was talking about cakes. She took Mengmeng to the provincial capital before the New Year. What? Her eldest son can even hear this wrong, it seems that this is really destined by God, maybe it is really a way to get money.
However, she was still a little worried and said: "Yimin, even if people from the city are going to travel, they are going to those big cities, where will they come to our country?"
Feng Yimin remembered his agreement with others, and said confidently: "Mom, the scenery of Taoyuan Village is very good. Since ancient times, people have come in just to play. Did you forget that there are many stones in Longling that have inscriptions on them? Even The leaders of the province have heard of our Taoyuan Village. If someone comes to travel, our machine can sell ice water. You think, if a cup is sold for one cent, ten people are one cent, and one One hundred people is one dollar, one thousand people is ten yuan, and ten thousand people are one hundred yuan, and it will be paid back in ten days, what are you afraid of?"
Mrs. Feng was completely moved by what he said. Now she doesn't think this eldest son is stupid, but thinks that he is smarter than anyone else. As expected of her, she thought to herself: "We have more than 2,000 in Taoyuan Village. As for the person, I don't think we need to wait for the people in the city to come, we will take this machine out tomorrow to sell ice water."
