Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 84 Interlude (third update)

"Grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" Seeing that Mrs. Jia Zhang ignored him, Bang Geng made a noise again, this time he simply lay on the ground, rolling around, clamoring for meat.

"Banggan, be obedient, be good!" Jia Zhang pulled up the stick with heartache, and patted the dust on his body.

Since what he said in the morning, Jia Zhang has paid more and more attention to the stick. Qin Huairu has already found He Yuzhu, and now all she has is stick. This is her root, and she will never let him suffer Wronged.

You said Xiaodang, Huaihua. The married daughters and the water that was thrown out, Jia Zhang never regarded them as members of the Jia family.

Although the stick started talking, it still pulled Jia Zhang's face and kept arguing: "Grandma, I want to eat meat!"

"Hey!" Jia Zhang sighed deeply, she also wanted to eat meat, but there was no such condition in her family.

"Grandma, grandma brings out the candy, and you eat it with the candy on it." Jiazhang had no choice but to use his trump card, candy!

"Yeah, I have candy, grandma, hurry up, hurry up, I want candy." The stick immediately collapsed, and when he heard that there was candy, he forgot to eat meat.

Meat, in fact, is not lacking in sticks. There is always some meat in the meals that He Yuzhu brings back, and these meats have all entered sticks' mouths, otherwise sticks would not grow so good.

At the age of eight, his height is actually about the same as Zhou Jianguo's, and his face is also chubby, obviously well-nourished, so he has no shortage of meat to eat.

However, sugar is different.

In the 60s, sugar was extremely rare.

If you want to buy sugar, you not only need a sugar ticket, but the price is more expensive than meat. More importantly, in many cases, you can't buy sugar at all.

For example, in the supply and marketing cooperatives, after the sugar arrived at the beginning of each month, the sugar was sold out in less than two days. Therefore, in the 60s, sugar was really a luxury for many families.

I didn’t see that even in the early 90s, when you were a guest at a relative’s house, most of the time, the gifts your parents brought were still candies.

In the early 90s, the value of sugar was so high, let alone in the 60s now.

"Grandma, I want to eat candy too!" Xiao Dang said anxiously from behind.

Children's resistance to sugar is equivalent to zero. As soon as they heard that there was sugar to eat, Xiaodang immediately dropped the cornbread in his hand.

"Go, you little girl, what kind of candy do you want?" Jia Zhang said impatiently, and even stretched out his hand, and hit the little Dangpi drum (not a typo) a few times.

Today she was already angry enough, but now there is another incident about wanting meat, the anger in Jia Zhang's heart has long been about to explode, and now it's all right, Xiaodang just came to the door, Jia Zhang took advantage of the situation and lost his temper on Xiao Dang.

"Wow." Feeling the pain, Xiaodang burst into tears. When she cried, Sophora japonica lying inside was startled awake and started crying immediately.

"Wow"

"Wow..." In the blink of an eye, at Jia's side, one big and one small, two people cried together.

"Look at what you've done!" Jiazhang looked at Xiaodang viciously, and beat her leather drum a few more times, blaming Xiaodang's crying for waking Sophora japonica.

However, all of this is not your own fault. If you hadn't hit Xiaodang just now, would Xiaodang cry, and would it wake up the Sophora japonica that was sleeping inside? !

One drink and one peck, it's all determined by God!

"You get out, and I will punish you not to eat today!" Mrs. Jia Zhang kicked Xiaodang out of the house. She didn't dare to trouble Zhou Jianguo, so she vented all the evil fire in her heart on Xiaodang.

"Grandma." Xiao Dang looked at Jia Zhang in front of him in panic, and stopped crying involuntarily.

"Bang!" Jia Zhang directly closed the door, ignoring the little pawn outside.

Xiao Dang cried and knocked on the door for a while. After seeing that the door was not opened, Xiao Dang knew that his grandma really drove him out of the house.

"Gululu!!" At this time, Xiaodang's stomach growled again. She just ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns, and then what happened just now, so Xiaodang hadn't eaten yet.

"It smells so good!" Xiao Dang's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed the scent to the backyard.

Children don't have the complicated thoughts of adults. Their thoughts are very simple. They only know that they have to eat when they are hungry. As for the dirty things between adults, they don't know at all.

"Grandma, come, I'll peel the prawns for you." Zhou Jianguo picked up the river prawns on one side and peeled them for the old lady.

"Jianguo, to eat river prawns, you'd better do it yourself, that's the way to taste." The old lady refused with a smile, picked up a river prawn, first sucked the head of the prawn, and the special umami taste of the prawn immediately spread into her mouth.

"Well, what a delicious river prawn, this is the best river prawn I've ever eaten!" The old lady narrowed her eyes, she was amazed by the taste, she could swear that this river prawn was definitely the best in her life The best river prawns I've ever eaten.

"Grandma, if it's delicious, you can eat more." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile, and picked up two river prawns for the old lady.

These river prawns are all made from the Dongtian Baozhu, and the taste is of course top-notch.

"It's still my eldest grandson who is amazing. He bought such delicious river prawns. The old lady's life is worth it!" The old lady narrowed her eyes when she smiled. She couldn't imagine such a life before. of.

"God, you finally opened your eyes this time!" The old lady burst into tears, and for the first time, she no longer hated this damn God.

She knew very well that it all started when her grandson met 'Xianyuan', so it was the first time that the old lady sincerely thanked God.

You know, before this, the old lady hated and hated the so-called God the most.

Her husband, and five sons, all died on the battlefield.

When they were on the battlefield, the old lady kept praying to the old weather to keep her husband and five children safe.

But as a result, her husband left first in the first year, followed by the second son, the third son, then the eldest son, and finally the fourth and fifth sons.

In a family that was originally extremely happy, she was left alone in this world, living alone in this world. For the first time, the old lady scolded every day, every day, and scolded God for having no eyes. It's better to be alone than to bring yourself along.

During that time, the old lady actually thought about committing suicide and walked with her husband and children, but when she thought about it, if she went with them, who would worship her husband and her five children in the future? child.

Thinking of this, the old lady became stronger. She wanted to live a good life with her husband and the share of the five children. Let the world remember them, remember their family, and make sacrifices for this new world. How much blood was lost.

Afterwards, Zhou Hai's family came to the courtyard. With Zhou Hai's sincere and unpretentious actions, coupled with that wailing boy, a ray of sunshine finally emerged from the dark clouds in the old lady's heart.

Finally, as Zhou Jianguo grew up, especially after knowing that Zhou Jianguo suffered from congenital heart disease, the dark clouds in the old lady's heart completely dissipated, and instead she was worried about Zhou Jianguo's health.

It can be said that since then, Zhou Jianguo has been the last rope in the old lady's heart. Once this rope is broken, the old lady's side
As a matter of course, the old lady hated God more and more in her heart. She was blaming God for the cause of Zhou Jianguo's heart disease.

However, now the old lady is thanking God for the first time. In her opinion, isn't it God's hand that Zhou Jianguo can meet this "fairy fate"? !

"Grandma, what's the matter?" Zhou Jianguo noticed something wrong with the old lady's expression.

"It's nothing, I just remembered your second uncle. At that time, he often went to the river to catch shrimps." The old lady said with a sad face.

Her second son, with a good water surname, got into the river and could not show his head for three minutes. When he was at home, he went to the river from time to time to catch river prawns for himself to eat. The reason why the old lady likes to eat river prawns is also I miss my second son.

"Second uncle?"

"Well, your second uncle had a nickname back then, Water Monkey. His water surname was excellent, and he could easily dive into the bottom of a river tens of meters deep. People also said that your second uncle was the reincarnation of a water demon."

Speaking of her second son, the old lady's eyes lit up, and she looked like she was ten years younger. Zhou Jianguo's heart ached.

He couldn't imagine how sad the old lady would be when she received notifications of the sacrifice of her husband and five children one after another, but Zhou Jianguo knew that from now on, he would never make the old lady sad again.

Whether it was because of his previous life or because of the old lady's sincere affection for him, Zhou Jianguo had long regarded the old lady as his own grandmother.

This episode passed quickly, perhaps because of the words just now, the old lady's appetite suddenly became very good, not only took the second steamed bun, but also nearly two catties of the three catties of river prawns were eaten by her.

Watching it, Zhou Jianguo hurriedly took away the remaining river prawns, not because he was reluctant, but because he was afraid that the old lady would eat too much and end up with indigestion.

The old lady didn't say much, she knew that Zhou Jianguo was doing it for her own benefit, so she stopped eating river prawns and started eating green beans and other dishes.

"Xiao Dang, have you eaten?" The first mother found Xiao Dang leaning against the door and drooling.

"Xiao Dang?" Zhou Jianguo turned around and looked. Sure enough, Xiao Dang was standing at the door of his house, staring at the food on the table, drooling from his mouth (four years old), moving his feet forward from time to time, obviously being caught by the food on the table. Meals tempted me.

"Grandma, grandma won't give me food." Xiao Dang said pitifully, while talking, his eyes were still fixed on the food on the table.

　The third one! !
