Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 8
Zhou Jianguo has a very good relationship with the deaf old lady in the country. Zhou Jianguo’s father, Zhou Hai, and the two sons of the deaf old lady are comrades in arms. When they were on the battlefield, they both saved each other’s life. The deaf old lady’s son died in battle. At that time, he entrusted Zhou Jianguo's father, Zhou Hai, to help take care of his mother. Therefore, Zhou Hai came to live in a courtyard house afterwards, in order to take care of the deaf old lady nearby.

The deaf old lady is also very kind to the Zhou family. She has treated Zhou Jianguo as her own grandson since she was a child. Whenever she finds out where there is a good doctor, she will take Zhou Jianguo to see a doctor. It is Zhou Jianguo who is close first.

It can be said that he is not so good to his own grandchildren, so the original owner has always regarded the deaf old lady as his own grandmother in his heart, and now this relationship has also been inherited by Zhou Jianguo.

When Zhou Jianguo walked into the house, there was not only the deaf old lady, but also the big mother.

"The eldest grandson is here, hurry up and show grandma. Grandma just heard from your elder mother that your health is much better. If grandma doesn't see it with her own eyes, she won't feel at ease." The deaf old lady waved to Zhou Jianguo, There was eagerness in his eyes.

"Hey, grandma, I'll come right away." Zhou Jianguo put down the bowl in his hand obediently, and walked in front of the deaf old lady.

The old deaf lady's eyes were only a little presbyopic, and she could still see clearly after walking in, so she soon saw the healthy look on Zhou Jianguo's face, and the big stone in her heart finally fell down, with a smile on her face. It's creases.

"Grandma's eldest grandson is indeed much better, so good, so good!"

The voice of the deaf old lady was full of sincerity, and she seemed to be ten years younger.

Even if Zhou Jianguo didn't use mental power to perceive it, he could feel the deaf old lady's love and concern for him. There was nothing else in her words, only genuine joy and happiness for him.

"This is real family love!" Zhou Jianguo, who had never enjoyed family love before, felt warm in his heart.

"Grandma!" Zhou Jianguo called out very sincerely this time. He picked up the rice bowl on one side and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'll bring you some fried fish. I made it myself."

There was some coquettishness of the younger generation towards the elders in the words, and the deaf old lady's face was wrinkled when she heard it.

"It smells so good, grandson, bring it quickly." The deaf old lady said impatiently like a child, "Let grandma taste the fried fish made by grandson himself."

Just now, the deaf old lady was all focused on Zhou Jianguo's health, and subconsciously ignored things like fried fish. Now that Zhou Jianguo just brought the fried fish to her nose, the deaf old lady's nose was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of fried fish. filled up.

Zhou Jianguo smiled and brought the fried fish in front of the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady couldn't help but picked up one chopstick, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

"Well, why is it so delicious." The deaf old lady's eyes widened.

As soon as she ate it in her mouth, the deaf old lady realized that this fish was the best fish she had ever eaten in her life.

The fish in her mouth not only did not have the slightest fishy smell, but the meat was extremely tender. When she bit her mouth, an indescribable sweetness spread to her tongue, which made her have the urge to swallow her tongue directly.

This was just the beginning. After the fish was eaten, a force emerged out of thin air, constantly nourishing and replenishing her body. She clearly felt that the sore finger joints that had been a little sore due to the rainy weather these days, Now it was miraculously getting better, a warm current surrounded her hands.

"This... big grandson, this..." The deaf old lady was well-informed, but the changes in her body still made her a little unbelievable.

It tastes good, and the deaf old lady won't be surprised, because as long as you cook well, it's understandable that the taste is better, but in the end, the deaf old lady doesn't know what to say about the changes in her body.

"The eldest grandson has met a fairy!" This is the only thought in the mind of the deaf old lady.

"Grandma, how is it? My craftsmanship is not inferior to He Yuzhu's, is it?" Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

He didn't explain anything, some things were better explained than not explained, and he believed that the deaf old lady would not pursue too much, after all, he was her favorite grandson.

Sure enough, things were just as Zhou Jianguo thought. The deaf old lady just looked at Zhou Jianguo. She was so old that she didn't know the seriousness of this matter, so she stopped asking soon and started to stutter. Start with fried fish and stir-fried sweet potato vines.

Normally, the deaf old lady can only eat two or three cornbreads, but this time she not only ate five cornbreads, but also two pieces of fried fish weighing one and a half catties brought by Zhou Jianguo, plus the A small bowl of stir-fried sweet potato vines was also finished, and the big moms who were watching all had their mouths big and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

"Old lady, you." The first mother looked at the deaf old lady hesitantly, as if she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

The old deaf lady is not young. For the elderly, it is best to eat less food, otherwise, the body will not be able to digest it easily, and over time, there will be big problems.

"Girl, don't worry, Madam, I'm fine." The deaf old lady waved her hand vigorously, signaling that she was fine.

The big mom looks like writing on her face now, and others can understand what she is worried about at a glance.

"Auntie, this is fish. It is different from pork. Pork is not easy to digest. If you eat too much, grandma's body will not be able to bear it. But there is no problem with fish. Fish is easy to digest. Eating more is right. Grandma is in good health." Zhou Jianguo explained while cleaning up the dishes.

"That's good, that's good." The big mother was relieved.

"Jianguo, I really didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. The aroma alone is no worse than Zhuzi's dishes. It seems that aunt doesn't have to worry about you in the future." The first mother looked at Zhou Jianguo, her eyes were full of pride sense.

There is nothing happier than watching one's own child grow up. The better Zhou Jianguo's life is and the better his skills are, the happier the aunt will be.

"Hey, Big Mom, doesn't this prove that I'm a genius!" Zhou Jianguo laughed.

Of course, this is just a joke. The real situation is that Zhou Jianguo was born as an orphan, so he developed a fairly good cooking skill early on.

Coupled with the fact that he still has spiritual power and the blessing of life spirit liquid, it would be no wonder if his cooking skills were not as good as He Yuzhu's.

"." The aunt couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. People in their 60s are not as open as the new century, but the aunt didn't care. She just thought that Zhou Jianguo's behavior was a little out of place because of his improved health.

At the same time, the aunt felt more at ease, because Zhou Jianguo was able to make such a joke with her, which just showed that his health was really good, otherwise, how could Zhou Jianguo have the intention of joking.

"Bang bang!!" Suddenly, there was a strange noise from outside, Zhou Jianguo frowned, and his mental power was released, and soon he 'saw' that the stick, who was a thief saint, was climbing his window, These sounds were made when he climbed the window.

Obviously, the robber saint in the courtyard has taken action against his family.

"Grandma, I haven't eaten yet. I'm going back to eat." Zhou Jianguo got up and prepared to go back.

"The eldest grandson hasn't eaten yet." The deaf old lady was a little anxious, and hurriedly urged: "The eldest grandson, go back and eat quickly, you are just in good health, you can't be hungry."

"Okay grandma, I'm going back. I'll come back in the evening. We'll have a good meal then to celebrate my recovery." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

"It's true that we should have a good meal to celebrate." The deaf old lady smiled, she took out a piece of ten yuan with her right hand, and handed it to Zhou Jianguo: "Grandson, here, use this money Go shopping, let's have a good time at night."

The deaf old lady did indeed have Zhou Jianguo as her own grandson. No, she just took out ten yuan as the cost of the evening celebration.

You know, in the 60s, the salary of an ordinary worker was usually only fifteen or sixteen yuan, so ten yuan was really a lot of money at this time.

The deaf old lady's monthly subsidy is only [-] yuan, and now she has given out [-] yuan, and she really loves Zhou Jianguo to the bone.

"Grandma!" Zhou Jianguo's eyes became moist: "I have money, grandma, I have money."

Ten yuan is not a small amount of money, and it is still the old lady's personal money, so he can't take it.

"Grand grandson, take it!" The deaf old lady directly stuffed ten yuan into Zhou Jianguo's hand.

Seeing that Zhou Jianguo had to postpone it, the face of the deaf old lady was like the weather in June. It changed as soon as it was said, with a look of "I'm old, no one listens to what I say", Zhou Jianguo looked like Speechless, in the end he had no choice but to accept the ten dollars.

"Grandma, you." Zhou Jianguo looked at the deaf old lady and shook his head helplessly.

However, his heart was warm, because he had never experienced such a situation of being loved by others in his previous life.

With a warm heart and the ten yuan, Zhou Jianguo walked out with a smile on his face.

However, a very disappointing scene soon appeared in front of him.

I saw that the whole body of the stick was on the window sill of his house, the front half of his body had already leaned into the house, only the lower half of his body was still outside, and his legs were still kicking, trying to get in.

Seeing this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help feeling angry, and decided in his heart to teach this stick that ruined the atmosphere a good lesson.

Zhou Jianguo was not at all polite to the robber saint in the courtyard. He stepped forward and grabbed the stick by the belt, and then pulled him out from the window sill with force, then lifted his legs, and fell like this hanging.
