#Homecoming Notes Witness a Better Life# #My Hometown My Year# #This Is the Taste of the Year#
We ran desperately, and we couldn't forget our parents behind us
One day in August last year, I was on my way to work when I got a call from my mother saying that my father was upset and worried me. Mom said Dad had diarrhea probably from eating the grapes we had checked home.
In the midst of my concern, I felt a deep sense of self-blame.
Here's why: That weekend, our family went to the supermarket and saw the newly arrived grapes in front of the fruit stall, verdant and fruity. The salesman took the opportunity to say that this was a new variety, Sunshine Rose, 38 a pound. You don't look at it expensive, definitely great value for money, sweet and delicious, she does not have the sour taste of ordinary grapes, pure sweet, especially suitable for children and the elderly. It's a new arrival, very fresh.
At that time, I bought a few pounds, kept half for the child, and the other half, along with other daily necessities, was consigned to my parents in my hometown.
I am in Wuhan, my parents are in the hometown of Xianning countryside, we are very busy at work on weekdays, we have to be busy with our children's studies on weekends, all year round, we go home to see our parents for a few times, connecting us is a video phone and a long-distance bus from home to Wuhan.
Parents miss us and turn on the phone video. The fresh vegetables and eggs grown by the parents are usually checked into Wuhan by long-distance shuttle bus every once in a while. Parents' clothes and some necessities of life, we bought, through the long-distance car consignment, the driver is acquaintances, the car is fast to the national highway near home, call the elderly in advance, notify to get the goods.
August in Hubei, the hottest season, grapes in the cargo box under the shuttle, 3 hours by car, has been sullen, at home another night, not fresh. The elderly have a weak stomach,
If I hadn't sent those grapes home, my father wouldn't have suffered from this illness. We have to work with the baby, we can't say that we will go back, and our parents take care of each other in their hometown.
Since then, I have never dared to ship fruit home.
National Day back to Xianning hometown, inadvertently opened Taobao, into the usual often shop tao vegetables, did not expect, the positioning shows the location of the hometown, the delivery address is the convenience store at the entrance of the village.
It was as if I had found a treasure and told my mother about this great discovery. Mom said that in the spring, tao vegetables will open to the village gate.
Since then, buy things for my parents, never buy them from the supermarket and then check them in, resolutely place orders from Taocai dishes, and send them to the convenience store at the village mouth the next day, and my parents walk around every day and directly carry things home.
Tao cai dish, not only complete goods, convenient to pick up, the price is also very close to the people. Parents need any daily necessities, call me directly to tell me to place an order, and the next day will receive the goods.
My mother especially likes to eat cherries, in previous years, I could only eat fresh when I came home for the New Year, this year, I placed an order every three to five in Taocai dishes, and the next day my mother could eat it.
Tao vegetables on the cherries, I heard and Chile has signed a million acres of supply, from the branches to the tip of the tongue, manual picking, standardized sorting, charter to the country, each cherry is crispy meat, fresh as ever, sweet and juicy, the price is also close to the people.
Hubei recently the temperature plummeted, I then gave my parents an order in Taocai dish a household heater, bought cotton pants, my parents received the goods very warm, I am also at ease. My parents eat and drink, and I also choose to buy them on Taocai.
This year's New Year, I bought New Year goods for my parents in Taocai, and ordered cherries, beef and mutton, as well as some green plants and flowers, couplet red envelopes, etc. Easy and fast, no longer have to go to the supermarket to wait in line, and then carry large bags home.
We stepped on the shoulders of our parents and came to work in the city. In the city, we run desperately, and we can't forget the parents in the countryside behind us, but also give them more love and let their old age stretch and be healthy.
