Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 10
It's a shame to wake up late again, the house is quiet, only Xiao Shishi is sitting in the yard writing, the old man has already gone out.

There was Tian Tian's breakfast in the pot, and the storage room was full of two large pots of marinated pork.

Before making bacon, the meat must be marinated to taste, then hung up to dry, then smoked, and finally left to time.

Look at how early these meats get up!Tian Tian sighed that the old man got up early, it seems that the old man is in good health these two days.

Tian Tian doesn't plan to go out today, there are two wild boars in two days, she has to stop the meeting.

I promised Xiao Shitou to make dumplings yesterday, so I have to keep my word.

There are both white flour and meat. I saw a rolling pin yesterday, which was used by the original owner's mother before. It is just right for rolling dumpling skins.

But let the old man make another long rolled noodle to eat.Tian Tian's former family lived in Beijing, and she ate both rice and noodles, but she prefers pasta.

Seeing that it was still early to cook, Tian Tian tidied up the house.

The original owner is a diligent little girl. Every day, she cleans up the house of herself and the old man, and also washes the clothes at home. It is no wonder that the old man loves her so much.

Clean up the old man's room first. The tables, chairs, benches, and blue brick floor are clean, the bedding on the bed is neat, and there are some clothes of the old man and Xiaoshi on the chair beside the bed. The rest are clean and tidy.

In fact, no one changes clothes every day. The main reason is that there are not so many clothes to change, and the second is that the clothes are easy to be damaged after washing too much.

After tidying up Tian Tian, ​​she went to tidy up her own room. In a room of more than 20 square meters, there was a wooden wardrobe on the right side of the entrance, and a small low cabinet next to the closet. Next to the low cabinet was a five-layer bookshelf. The bottom two floors of the bookshelf were neatly arranged. All the textbooks from the first grade to the junior high school of the original owner are placed here.

The elementary school here is only in the fifth grade, and the little girl has graduated from elementary school. She should have gone to junior high school, but the school has been closed because of the troubles in the past two years, and she doesn't know when the class will start.The old man asked someone to find a complete set of textbooks from the first to third grades of junior high school, and asked his granddaughter to study by herself at home.

There are not many clothes in the closet, but they are all neatly folded.Thin and thick are separated, jackets and trousers are also put separately, none of the clothes have patches, even if some are washed and turned white, the old man raised the two children well!

In the bottom corner of the closet is an iron box containing biscuits, which is the most precious thing for the little girl.

Tian Tian carefully opened the box. There were three envelopes in the box. The top envelope contained four photos. An old man sitting on a chair was holding a little girl in his arms. A young couple stood behind the old man. The man was wearing a tall olive green military uniform. Handsome, the girl is delicate and beautiful, this is a photo of the original owner's family in Kyoto before they were five years old.

The second photo is of the original owner's parents hugging her.

The third photo is of the old man hugging the original owner, the old and the young smiling happily.

The last one is a family portrait. I remember that Xiaoshitou was over one year old. The couple took the child back to their hometown to let the grandfather meet his grandson. They took it in this yard.

The old man is still sitting, with his one-year-old grandson in his arms, his granddaughter is on his right side, his son is on the right side, and his daughter-in-law is on the left side.The family grows up very well, but it's a pity that things are different.

Among the remaining two envelopes, one contained some tickets. The original owner used to go to school in the town, and the old man would give her money and tickets for her to buy whatever she wanted, in case her granddaughter was hungry. Save it up and put it away.

There is money in the other envelope, there are more than 100!That’s quite a lot. The workers are the most popular now. They only cost over 30 a month, and with various welfare subsidies, it’s only over 40. As a worker, she earns half a year’s wages, so she seems to be a good child who saves money!

For someone as honorable as the old man, the pension is only more than 48 yuan. This is because the old man does not want to stay in the capital. The treatment specially approved by the above, plus various bill subsidies is only more than 50 yuan. The original owner can be regarded as a small asset.

These are the New Year's money and usually given by the old man. Every year, the old man will give the original owner ten New Year's money. Ten dollars is not a small amount. The old man gave it to her without blinking. It has been 12 years since the original owner was born, but the money is The original owner only started saving when he was five years old.

Don't panic if you have money in your hand, but some tickets are about to expire, and you have to spend them as soon as possible, or they will be scrapped.
