Chapter 13 Grandma is back
The Spring Festival is approaching, and everyone is cleaning their houses.
All the beds, cabinets, tables and stools in the house were moved to the yard.
Li Hongyu was wearing dirty clothes, holding a broom tied to a bamboo pole, and cleaning every corner of the house.
Zhang and his sister were wiping tables and chairs in the yard with rags.
Zhang Xiuxiu lost her patience after cleaning a table.
She threw down the rag, found a bamboo pole, ran to the eaves, knocked the ice skates under the tiles, picked them up and put them in her mouth to eat as ice cream.
Zhang and his party just took a look and did not stop her. At this time, the snow water in winter was still clean and it was not bad to eat.
Unlike many years later, sometimes the snowflakes that fall are mixed with the dark autumn colors.
"Brother, I'll eat it for you!"
Zhang Xiuxiu ran over with a small piece of ice skate and handed it to Zhang Yixin.
Zhang Yixing took it and filtered it with his mouth, then spit out the saliva, treated it as a wash, and then threw the ice skate into his mouth.
Bang, bang, bang.
Zhang Xiuxiu turned around and continued playing ice skates.
"Don't eat too much, or you'll have diarrhea!" Zhang Yixing warned.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Zhang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement while holding ice cubes in her mouth.
"Okay, okay, your grandma is back!"
Zhang and his party were busy when they suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the gate.
Turning around, I saw a figure walking past the gate.
It was Uncle Haijun, who was two aisles away. He must have been passing by, so he informed me casually.
Li Hongyu also heard the sound in the room, and her face suddenly became unsightly.
Zhang Yixing's grandfather, Zhang Xiandong, was a coal miner when he was young, digging coal in mines.
Even though coal mining is a menial job, in those days, workers were equivalent to an iron rice bowl, and their children could take over.
Zhang Xiandong has two sons, the eldest son Zhang Guangzong and the second son Zhang Yaozu. The two brothers are six years apart.
Generally speaking, the eldest son takes over the succession, but after Zhang Xiandong retired, it was the most favored second son Zhang Yaozu who took over.
That's all. The problem is that before Li Hongyu got married, her father-in-law and mother-in-law coaxed her to let Zhang Guangzong take over.
As a result, the couple got married, and the two old men changed their minds.
In addition, Li Hongyu has not had children for many years after her marriage. Instead, the second child, who married late, gave birth to a child. As a result, Li Hongyu suffered a lot from her mother-in-law.
Zhang Yixing remembered that her mother once said that at that time, when she was pregnant in ten months, her grandmother did not take care of her, and even had to eat eggs secretly behind her back when there were eggs at home.
But Zhang Guangzong is an honest man who can't be beaten with a stick.
As a son, Zhang Guangzong was very filial.
Zhang Xiandong was bedridden for three years before his death. Zhang Guangzong stayed in bed with his father for three years just to take care of him, for which he owed a lot of debt.
As a husband, Zhang Guangzong really loves his wife.
He has never asked Li Hongyu to do heavy work. Li Hongyu has been a farmer for half his life and has never even carried a pesticide spray bucket.
But in Zhang Yixing's view, his father owed his mother after all.
Tiredness and suffering are not suffering, poverty is the real suffering.
After my mother got married, she really suffered for half her life.
The family's financial situation did not ease until her sister Zhang Xiuxiu dropped out of junior high school to work.
Creditors who came to collect debts during the Chinese New Year, difficulties for paying tuition and fees too late, ridicule from classmates, my sister who dropped out of school, the house that I finally bought after graduation after working harder than others...
These big and small things derived from poverty are like dirty ink spots, staining the supposedly colorful picture of life.
Yu Hua said: Never believe that suffering is worth it. Suffering is suffering. Suffering will not bring success. Suffering is not worth pursuing. The reason for tempering your will is that suffering cannot be avoided.
Now, Zhang and his party have a chance to make a new choice. He chose to avoid suffering.
"Brother, let's go to the second uncle and second aunt's house!"
When Zhang Xiuxiu heard that her grandma was back, she immediately threw away the bamboo pole and swallowed the iceberg in her mouth with a few clicks.
Zhang Yi Xing nodded.
No matter what, grandma is still very kind to her two grandchildren. She will leave delicious food for them and secretly give them pocket money.
And in a few years, the relationship between grandma and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will also ease.
Therefore, Zhang Yixing has no psychological problems with grandma.
It's just that in my memory, my grandma has been dead for many years, and now I have to see her again, which feels a little weird.
Li Hongyu did not stop her son and daughter from seeing their grandma.
No matter how many complaints there are in the heart, at least on the surface this big family is still harmonious.
Li Hongyu and his sister-in-law Liu Ying didn't particularly like each other, but brothers Zhang Guangzong and Zhang Yaozu had a very good relationship. If one of them had to tell them about any heavy work, the other would definitely come to help.
As for Zhang Yixing's generation, there is no enmity between the younger generations.
Zhang and his party led his sister to the second uncle's house. They went directly into the main room without knocking on the door and calling anyone.
Now this courtyard is not the second uncle's home, but the third grandfather's home. The third grandfather's family moved away, and this house was left to the second uncle's family for temporary residence.
Zhang and his party knew that in a few years, their second uncle's family would build a new house.
After the new house is built, the second aunt will have a falling out with her grandma and kick her out of the house. The second uncle will kneel down and cry to no avail.
And in more than ten years, the second aunt will meet her daughter-in-law who is even more powerful than her, beating her to the point where she almost jumped off the building several times.
Every time Zhang and his party thought about what happened to their grandmother and their second aunt, they would feel a little more in awe of fate and doubt whether there really was retribution.
But nothing has happened yet.
Zhang and his party also wanted to prevent these things from happening.
In a quarrel between families, there are never winners, only losers.
Mrs. Guo is now in her sixties and has a relatively strong body. She has lived a good life since she was a child, which makes her very fat. However, most of the other elderly people in the village are skinny.
Her feet were very small, and she still had the habit of binding them, so she walked quite neatly.
"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
Seeing her grandson and granddaughter arriving, Mrs. Guo immediately beamed with joy and quickly took out a pack of calcium milk biscuits from the bedside.
Zhang Xiuxiu hurriedly took two steps to take the biscuits, and tore open the wrapping paper in one go.
Zhang Yixing looked complicated, turned around and wiped his eyes.
When his grandma passed away and mourned, he did not shed a single tear.
Now that I suddenly saw it again, I couldn't stand it.
Zhang Xiuxiu asked while eating cookies, "Where are my brothers and sisters?"
A woman's voice came from the back room, and Liu Ying replied from the room: "Xiuxiu, your brother and sister went to play with their classmates!"
"Oh!" Zhang Xiuxiu was a little disappointed, so she concentrated all her energy on the biscuits, and her mouth was full.
Zhang Yaozu heard the commotion and said, "Xingxing Xiuxiu is here, wait a moment, my second uncle will get something fun for you two."
After a while, Zhang Yaozu came out of the house with two toy guns in his hands.
As soon as he pressed the trigger, the two toy guns made a snapping sound, as well as music, and the red lights on the guns flashed.
Zhang Xiuxiu cheered, ran over, grabbed a red toy gun in his hand, and kept firing.
Zhang and his party also walked forward and took another toy gun, "Thank you, uncle!"
Zhang Yaozu was stunned for a moment, then patted Zhang Yixing on the head, "Thank you for nothing, why are you so polite to my second uncle!"
