A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 11
After lunch, Dad was still drinking with Grandpa Gu. They drank and chatted for an hour and couldn't finish the meal.

Zhao Dongsheng didn't stay long after eating. He said hello to them, packed his tableware, carried the rice he brought for his grandfather and the milk he bought in the morning, and walked out.

Zhao Dongsheng's grandfather, Zhao Chunyuan, did not live with Zhao Dongsheng and the others, but still lived in the old house.

There is no memory of his grandma in Zhao Dongsheng's memory. It seems that his father died when he was still young. Zhao Dongsheng has never heard anyone mention the specific reason.

In his memory, his grandfather Zhao Chunyuan never went out to work or work. From the time Zhao Dongsheng could remember, his grandfather only played cards every day and did not work in farming. He never took care of his four siblings.

The reason why I live alone in the old house is because my grandfather still wants to play cards day and night. He is afraid that his mother will say something about him. In addition, he has lived in the old house all his life, so he cannot move again. .So I live alone.

The old man has two sons, and they have been living a carefree life since they grew up.Usually, the eldest son, Zhao Huihuang, is responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. He delivers rice every month and takes it over for reunions during the New Year and holidays.

The younger son, Zhao Dongsheng's uncle, has been wandering around since he became an adult. He only got married under the introduction of someone two years ago, but he still continues to live in the county with his wife. He only thinks about returning during holidays. Stayed at home for two days.I am usually responsible for my grandfather’s living expenses and give him some money every month.

Carrying new rice and milk, he walked for about ten minutes. Fortunately, Zhao Dongsheng's physical condition has improved a lot now. If he still had the same body as before, he might not be so relaxed.

When I arrived at my grandpa’s house, my grandpa was cooking food with firewood.

"Grandpa, we are cooking. Isn't there a charcoal fire? Why are you still using firewood? This bag is new rice, so I won't mix the rice with it. Remember to drink this milk." Zhao Dongsheng put down the rice, and then Putting the milk on the table next to the bed, he started working as he spoke.

"Si Yazi, I forgot to add briquettes to the charcoal fire. Now it is convenient to use firewood in summer." Grandpa continued to add firewood.

"Then let me chop some firewood for you and clean it for you later. I have a holiday here. I just finished harvesting the rice a few days ago. I will come over every few days during the summer vacation." Zhao Dongsheng began to clean the room for his grandfather. After cleaning the room and putting things away, we started to take out the dry firewood from the corner of the kitchen and prepare to chop it.

Zhao Dongsheng chopped the firewood in the kitchen, put it neatly, and picked up the water in the water tank.

He packed everything up and said hello to his grandpa. Zhao Dongsheng didn't go home directly. Grandpa is actually fine in the village. Parents are nearby, and grandpa is also in good health, so it's not bad.

But there are several other five-guarantee households in the village, and those lonely elderly people rely on subsidies to live alone. They usually live alone.

Zhao Dongsheng tidied up his grandfather's house and walked more than 100 meters to a nearby five-guarantee household. This was a grandfather who was somewhat physically disabled. Zhao Dongsheng didn't know his specific name. He just kept calling him "Grandpa Nian." Grandpa Nian is eighty this year.

He has no wife and no descendants. He usually relies on doing odd jobs for others and supporting the village. Even though the palm of one hand of Grandpa Nian is missing, he can do it with his teeth and the other hand. Living very neatly.

Grandpa Nian is over 1.7 meters tall, which is unique among rural areas at this age. I heard that this great-grandfather was a soldier before, and later returned to his hometown after being injured. However, this great-grandfather is Grandpa never mentioned these things, so no one in the village knew the specific situation.

Zhao Dongsheng said hello to his great-grandfather and started working. He repaired the furniture at home, chopped firewood, carried water, and also did some delicate work that lacked one hand. His great-grandfather usually did not have it at home. People helped with the work, so they kept saying words of thanks such as "Thank you for your hard work, you guys."

"Yazi" is how the old people in Zhao Dongsheng's hometown call children, which means kid. Zhao Dongsheng is the fourth child in his family, so the old people in the village always call "four yazi".

Zhao Dongsheng didn't say much to the old man. This was not a whim of his.

He is not a real 17-year-old boy now. He only knows how to play around every day. Now he is full of energy and has the responsibility of a man in his 30s, so he hopes to help more people.

He has decided to make time every week to help the elderly in the village and do what he can.

I was busy until five o'clock, and it was almost time to eat at home. Grandpa Geng said and started to go home. Grandpa Nian took some candies to Zhao Dongsheng.

"So sweet" was walking on the way home and peeled off a candy and put it in his mouth.It's sweet in your mouth and sweet in your heart.

"My decision was indeed right. Seeing the smiles on the faces of these elderly people, this afternoon is meaningful. The next time will be to help these elderly families."

When I got home, I told my parents what happened this afternoon while eating.

Zhao Huihuang also agreed with Zhao Dongsheng's efforts to help the elderly.

At that time, he took his wife and four children with him and had to worry about his livelihood every day. These old people took good care of him, so now that Zhao Dongsheng has ideas to help these old people, he just goes with him.

After dinner, Zhao Dongsheng had a casual chat with his parents for a while, then went into his room and started his daily study tasks.

After studying until ten o'clock, he exercised for an hour. It was a very serious exercise. Now his physical fitness has improved and he is energetic. In order to get up in the morning, he doesn't have to wash the tea seeds, so it is better to exercise before going to bed.

When you wake up in the morning, the bitter tea seeds are still preserved, and exercising before going to bed can also improve the quality of sleep.

Today is another good day. It's around eight o'clock. I ran around the village and sweated all over. When I got home, I took a shower and ate the breakfast left by my mother.

Zhao Dongsheng started today's study feeling refreshed. He didn't have much work to do at home, so Zhao Dongsheng planned to make up for the hour he missed studying yesterday.

I decisively took out my English textbook, turned directly to the vocabulary page, and started reading and reciting.

An hour later, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Dongsheng tidied up his desk.When I walked out of the room, my parents had already gone out.

Zhao Dongsheng drank two glasses of cold water in the living room and went out directly. There was an elderly family he wanted to visit today.

Zhao Dongsheng closed the door and walked straight down to the bay. If he could reach his grandfather by walking 500 meters down, then walking 300 meters should be his destination today.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the mottled earth walls in front of me, I saw that this was a three-room adobe house.
