Chapter 69: One Tall and One Short

Several people watched as Uncle stopped chewing after only taking one bite, all thinking of the same problem: the noodles were unpalatable, and Uncle didn't want to eat them.

Yan Gu paused for a moment before saying, "Shengzi, keep blowing, your fourth uncle doesn't like to eat, so let's change the marinade." Look at ......" didn't wait for Aunt Yan to finish speaking, the uncle suddenly began to chew heavily, and exaggerated the continuous digging of noodles into his mouth, and made a 'snoring' and 'purring' sounds, like a child suddenly eating something good.

It was also the first time for Aunt Yan to see the uncle eating so exaggeratedly, so she smiled, gently tugged the uncle again, and whispered softly: "Slow down Fourth Brother." ”

Shengzi next to him breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately came to his senses, saying: "The fourth uncle scared me a lot! Look, what did I say, the fourth uncle must have thought it was delicious, and he must have felt that the noodles were not ordinary today so he suddenly stopped eating, and the fourth uncle must be very fond of eating so much." Yan'er, I'm not bragging, am I?"

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Three bowls of special marinated noodles are in the pot." He turned and ran into the back kitchen.

Aunt Yan and the three of them watched the uncle eat one bite after another, and before their noodles were served, the uncle's big bowl was clean and went into their stomachs. Uncle's eating performance this time made Aunt Yan remember it for a lifetime, and she has never seen such an exaggerated eating action from Uncle again.

Yan Gu gradually understood in her heart that this was a unique way for Uncle to praise Shengzi's craftsmanship.

When Shengzi and the third sister brought out the noodles again, Shengzi said that he would bring another bowl to the uncle, and Aunt Yan said no, the fourth brother really ate a lot today. I also immediately tasted Shengzi's craftsmanship, it really tasted good, and then I took care of Kangkang to eat, and said in my mouth: "Shengzi is not simple, and his cooking skills are not much worse than Beijing chefs." ”

After listening to this, Katsuko said modestly: "Far away, far away." If you want to eat, just say, let's do it at any time. And he stood triumphantly and watched them finish eating. Kang Kang also ate a lot that day.

Waiting for Sister Katsuko to take away the dishes and chopsticks, a few people sat there and chatted.

Uncle sat there, his fingers began to draw something on the table again, everyone had long been accustomed to this habit of uncle, no one paid attention to it, and was still talking to himself.

As Katsuko spoke, Yu Guang unintentionally swept the uncle's fingers, and then turned his head to look at the uncle's fingers intently. Finally, it was Katsuko's turn to be surprised!

Shengzi looked at it, and then spoke loudly in surprise: "My mother, the fourth uncle can really write, I really saw it this time!"

As he spoke, he stood up and ran behind the uncle, staring at the uncle's fingers, putting his two hands on the uncle's shoulders, and reading in his mouth: "One tall and one short?"

Then he dipped his hand in the tea and wrote 'dwarf' on the table, and asked everyone, "Is this the word 'dwarf'?"

After saying that, he stood there motionless, his eyes unblinking, and he looked at it intently.

Yan Gu and the third sister also leaned over and stared at the position of the uncle's finger on the table, and the two of them looked confused, and they also read what Shengzi wrote and said yes.

Katsuko stayed for a while before saying, "Fourth uncle, are you done?" Uncle Xiao stopped drawing at this time, and sat there with a steady 'eye' in front of him.

Katsuko scratched her head with one hand and meditated there.

Yan Gu asked, "What other words do you see?"

Katsuko scratched her head and replied, "What is one tall and one short? I ate noodles today, and he wants to praise me? Or is it that the noodles I make are tall or short?"

Yan Gu smiled and said, "Well, maybe the fourth brother is saying that you have a high level of making noodles and a low level of pulling noodles." ”

Katsuko still felt a bit far-fetched, and said, "Even if I don't have a high level of pulling noodles, I shouldn't say that I'm short, right? ”

Yan Gu said: "The fourth brother has never been to school for a day, and you still chew words with him." ”

At this time, Kang Kang's eyelids were fighting, and he shouted in his mouth: "Niangniang, Niangniang!"

Aunt Yan immediately understood that Kang Kang was sleepy, and it was time for Uncle Xiao to take a lunch break, so she said: "You go back and ask Xiao Ru, Xiao Ru is smart, see how Xiao Ru understands." We're going back to the store, Kang Kang is sleepy. ”

After saying that, with her uncle, the third sister went back with Kang Kang in her arms. Katsuko was left sitting there and thinking about the sea and the sky. Didn't come up with a clue for an afternoon.

When I got home in the evening, Shengzi coaxed his son Tiedan, and told Sister Xiaoru about Uncle Xiaoru's writing at noon, and Sister Xiaoru listened to it, but she also didn't understand what it meant, and thought for a while before saying: "Short, is it to describe the low height of objects and the small size of people, is Uncle Xiao saying that the two of us are tall and short?"

Katsuko pondered for a moment: "So it echoes the characteristics of the two of us, well, echoes." ”

Sister Xiaoru pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Xiao easily doesn't write. As long as you write it, there must be a reason, but I don't understand it for a while, let's pay attention in the future, Uncle is trying to tell you something or tell us something. ”

Shengzi also agreed when he heard this: "Wife, that's right, it seems that I really didn't understand bullshit before, but fortunately, the fourth uncle didn't go to Lord Yama to sue me, otherwise I would really be dead." Katsuko laughed at herself in the tone of the devil on TV.

Sister Xiaoru said: "You, you don't deserve to be like that for you, and Uncle Xiao will never be like that, unless you are a heinous villain!"

Since Grandpa Zhang returned to the village, screenwriter Zhang also stayed at home to live, and accompanied Grandpa Zhang every day, and soon became familiar with the people in the village.

The most obvious change in Grandpa Zhang is that he seems to be more than ten years younger, and he loves to talk and laugh, and the image of the former taciturn rural grandfather has been swept away.

My wife and I are also most willing to find a screenwriter, as long as we go home on the weekend. When I had nothing to do, I pestered Screenwriter Zhang to tell us stories or his personal experiences, especially the battle stories, and the stories of combat heroes that were not in the scripts he wrote before, and we were so obsessed that we forgot about being naughty, and we had a week of topics and arguments, and the referee of the argument was Screenwriter Zhang.

Screenwriter Zhang once said to his grandfather: "Big brother, I have an idea, that is, I want to write some things about Si'er into a book, recently I have heard a lot of strange stories about Si'er, and I have also collected some materials, I need you to help me, tell me Si'er's legendary experience." ”

Grandpa smiled and said, "What's the matter? Is it possible for Si'er to be written into a book for people to read?"

Screenwriter Zhang said: "It's not possible, it must be." When will the two of us talk while drinking, I want to know more about Si'er. ”

Grandpa restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Brother, our Si'er does have a lot of mysteries, don't talk about outsiders, I'm a father, I'm confused, others say that I can see Si'er write, brother, you have seen it with your own eyes, but I've never seen it, what do you want to know, I'll tell you, as for whether he has such a great ability, I really don't know, and I hope that Brother you tell the truth when you write, as for whether people believe it or not, it's up to the reader to figure it out, after all, most of Si'er's things are rumors." ”

Screenwriter Zhang also nodded and said: "Actually, I am the best list, I told a few friends in the circle about me, and everyone has always thought that Si'er is still a stranger, a bit of a genius, a little special ability." No one can explain these strange things. Others said that they were going to contact the experts of the Academy of Sciences in this area to inquire, and let me know if they had any news. ”

Grandpa said, "I'm a rough man and don't know any big truths, if you want to know, I'll tell you what I know, and let the old woman help me talk about it when the time comes." ”

Grandpa and screenwriter Zhang can talk until late every night, screenwriter Zhang asked, and at the same time took a notebook to record, uncle's bits and pieces of legendary stories were slowly collected by screenwriter Zhang.

If screenwriter Zhang had written the story of my uncle at that time, I would not have had the opportunity to write this novel.

That morning, he suddenly received a call from his son, saying that one of Screenwriter Zhang's life-saving benefactors, the eldest sister was critically ill, and Screenwriter Zhang couldn't take care of anything, so he immediately asked Shengzi to send him and Grandpa Zhang to the train station and hurried back to Beijing, and he didn't come back for several years.

The uncle's story was not written by him. Later, when screenwriter Zhang came back, he said that he had been seconded to the editorial department in recent years to write a few years with several veterans about the fighting process of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain, and that the 'Bayi' Film Studio was preparing to prepare a large-scale anti-Japanese war film and prepare an epic classic film to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The second aunt is in the army after the military brother returned home after the holiday, said that the second aunt will definitely change jobs this year, she is also coming back, ready to contact is to work in a company in the city, the second aunt was originally contacted is the city armed forces department, but also do the old business, just one of his old leaders plus the old townsman just arrived at the city land bureau to do a leader, knowing that the second aunt is coming back, he personally called the second brother-in-law to persuade him to come to the land bureau, continue to fight side by side, said that all the procedures he found a way to help, his acquaintances, There are many friends, and the second brother-in-law agreed to the invitation of the old leader, after all, they are comrades-in-arms in life and death, and they are also willing to continue to work together.

After Brother Junjun came back, he went to school in a middle school in the city, so that after the second aunt's family was stable in the city, they often went back to their grandfather's house.
