vines and melons

Chapter 29

Grandma Fang Jie felt that it was time to cook, so she came to the door of the big kiln on crutches. She was afraid of waking up her daughter-in-law, so she leaned on the door frame to look inside.

In fact, Guizhi was not asleep, she looked up and called mother.

Grandma Fang Jie responded, then moved to sit on the bow chair step by step, looked at Fang Qing's urn, and said, "Son! You are so cruel! How can you leave this family behind?" Huh?!" Two drops of muddy tears flowed out of her shriveled eyes, she raised her right arm, wiped the tears with the sleeve, turned her head to Guizhi and said, "I said, Mother Jie, you have to eat, I have to take care of the two children."

Seeing her mother-in-law on crutches today, Guizhi felt mixed feelings.Fang Qing bought this walking stick for his mother last year. At that time, his mother said that thanks to Guizhi, he was in good health and didn't need it.

Now, Gui Zhiqiang sat up energetically, brushed his hair with his right hand and said, "Mother, you can rest, I will cook."

Grandma Fang Jie supported the Eight Immortals table and got up, then moved it over, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Fang Jie saw her mother getting up, and her grandmother also came, so she got up and threw herself into her arms.

Grandma hugged her granddaughter pitifully, smoothing Fang Jie's disheveled braid tremblingly.

In fact, Fang Jie had woken up a long time ago, she didn't dare to get up, she was afraid, afraid of seeing the urn.

Living people eat three meals a day, and so do dead people. Guizhi will serve her husband a bowl every meal, and she will mumble a few words every time.

After dinner on the third day, Fang Qiang came to Gui Zhi to settle the account for Fang Qing.He called Fang Jie's name as soon as he reached the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Gui Zhi hurriedly opened the door, greeted her, and gave up her seat, lest she be mistaken for being treated poorly.In the past few days, Fang Qiang has been of great help.

Responding to his sister-in-law's words, Fang Qiang took out a roll of sorted invoices and money from his coat pocket, put them on the table, and said, "I'll settle the accounts for you today." Then he explained to Gui Zhi one by one.

Gui Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, refusing to explain.When Fang Qing was still alive, he often said to Guizhi: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, and if you are suspicious, don't use them."

Fang Qiang said with a half-smile, "There are still 23 yuan and 5 cents."

When Guizhi heard that it was more than 23 yuan, he felt a "thump" in his heart, thinking: This number is a bit wrong!Last night she couldn't sleep, probably after the calculation, there should be more than 70 yuan left.

In Guishan, Gui Zhi gave Fang Qiang 200 from Fang Qing's pension, and asked him to do all the chores, saying, use it first, and then pay if it is not enough.Guizhi probably knows the price of Guishan, and 200 yuan should be a lot.After a moment of surprise, he regained his rationality.

Fang Qiang went on to say, how to bargain for others.

Guizhi knew in her heart that saying this was undoubtedly out of gratitude, so she hurriedly said words like thank you and hard work.

After Fang Qiang paid the bill, he walked out of the kiln door calmly, then turned his head to Gui Zhi and said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to do in the future."
