Chapter 300: He Lao
On the 23rd, my grandfather's old friends, with more than a dozen workers who had been found, came over early. As soon as they entered the door, Hao Hao and Didi called people one by one to the visitors. "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Fu, Grandpa He, Grandpa Rong".
They responded with their mouths in their mouths, and they were busy greeting Grandma Youyou: "Madam, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you still haven't changed, it seems that life is okay all these years." ”
Looking at Youyou, who was following behind, they said with certainty: "Madam, this is Wanying's daughter, and when Wanying was a child, it was just the same." ”
Grandma smiled: "How are you okay, brother? This is Wanying's daughter Youyou." Lao Ai often talks about you, this time the big guy meets, and he can rest assured when he goes back. He turned to Yoyo and said, "Yoyo, call grandpa." ”
Yoyo called one by one, and they smiled and agreed. said to grandma: "Okay, thanks to you, we are still alive, but Ai Lao and you are really unexpected." Seeing that you are doing so well, we are also relieved. ”
Everyone walked around the yard, and according to Grandpa's wishes, they arranged work for the workers, and they talked about the yard, and they all said that Grandpa was expensive.
"Ai Lao, this courtyard is not worth the price at all now, the only good thing is that there is no trouble. The yard sold by the people in the army will not be able to produce demon moths in the future. "It seems that people are still scared of the movement.
Grandpa told them: "I can't do it either, everyone of your size has a nest, don't think about my yard, since the children have come back from the exam, I have to prepare a place for them to live." It was also a coincidence that I bought this yard. In fact, it is also for insurance, so it is more expensive. ”
They whispered: "Ai Lao, your old man still has an idea, and he can save this family fund, but he has been scavenged." ”
Grandpa smiled bitterly and said: "This is also thanks to Xiuqin's mother's brother and sister-in-law, Xiuqin and her brother have been orphans since childhood, and the family has good ingredients.
I didn't see that the child was admitted to university, so I took it out and asked me to buy a place for the child to settle down in Kyoto. ”
After listening to their grandfather's explanation, they all said enviously: "Ai Lao, we all felt incomprehensible when we saw you and your wife get married. Now it seems that you did the right thing.
Listening to what you said, we are even more convinced, you are old, you are blessed. If you didn't value your wife, you wouldn't have given them such expensive things, and you wouldn't be able to buy such a good yard now.
This yard is a bit more expensive, but these old furniture are worth a lot. If it had been earlier, these pieces of furniture would have been worth a lot of money, and there were so many pieces of furniture that even if they had money, they would have nowhere to buy them. ”
Some people disagree with this statement: "Now it's not the original, no one wants this old furniture, it's bulky and takes up space, everyone lives in it, who has a place to put these things."
It's not like you haven't seen a lot of old-fashioned expensive furniture, all of which have been chopped up and burned as firewood. It's not easy to burn, it's really evil, it's all precious wood.
We used to have nowhere to buy it if we had money, but now we can sell it, and we can buy it at a price for chopping firewood, but now we are poor, and we don't even have the money to buy chopping firewood. ”
Yoyo listened to the joy in his heart, it turned out that in Kyoto, you can also buy expensive old furniture at the price of chopping wood, but if you want to come to Kyoto, the old furniture should be better than the waterfront.
Grandpa was laughed at by them: "Brother, don't cry here to be poor, I don't believe it, you don't even have the money to buy firewood." ”
"Ai Lao, it's really not that there is no money to buy chopping firewood, the key is that there is no place to put it when you buy it. There is only that place in the house, even the beds are bunk beds, you said you bought these bulky furniture, where to put it? ”
"Even the courtyard was full of shacks and people. If I had a yard as big as your boss, I would rather eat less than buy it. ”
A few people, you say a word, grandpa looked at their sad looks, and couldn't help it: "I said a few brothers, or else." I can't live in this yard for a while, even if I come back to live in the future, there are not so many people at home. Or I'll free up the backyard for you and lend you something to put it in. ”
They hurriedly waved their hands and refused: "Ai Lao, don't hide it from you, we, we're really poor, and we don't even have the money to buy firewood." Now, the children are older and the family is bigger.
The key is that our identity is not good, and we have no income, and the children can't even take care of food and clothing, so we can't burden them anymore, and we can't block them anymore.
Don't hide it from you, you said that we have a nest in Kyoto, and you really said it. It's really a nest, we don't even live as good as the original subordinates.
A large family, crammed into a house of more than a dozen square meters, the husband and daughter-in-law live together, that embarrassment, don't mention it.
Especially He Lao, that's what makes it difficult. The son and daughter-in-law are gone, and there is a granddaughter-in-law who doesn't understand four or six, and she scolds Huai all day long. I can't even live a life in peace, and sometimes I can't even eat a hot meal. You see that he is thin, and I don't know if he will last until that day. ”
Youyou saw the thinner old man among them, and his face was full of melancholy: "What are you doing with these, compared to those who left early, I can be regarded as living more than ten years." Besides, there is no way to do it for the child, the great-grandson is 26 years old, and there is no place to get married. ”
Grandma looked at him and couldn't bear to say, "Old He, we can't live in this courtyard, or you can move over." I will clean up the backyard according to what Lao Ai said, put furniture for you, and you will help them watch it and let them pay you for the care. ”
The old man looked at his grandmother gratefully: "Madam, you are still that warm-hearted. Okay, I admit your affection, and I lick my face and live with you. However, you also think too highly of them, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can't afford to pay me for their care.
I still have a few old things in my hand, so I'll give them to Ai Lao as things. But you'll have to take care of what I eat and drink in the future. Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, give me 5 yuan a month, enough for me to buy rations, even if I beg you cheekily. ”
After saying this, his embarrassed face turned red, and sweat broke out on his head, and it seemed that there was really no way. The living expenses of 5 yuan a month are just enough to buy food rations in the metropolis of Kyoto.
Grandpa was anxious: "This can't be helped, your few things are all hard-to-find treasures." In the past, the island nation forced you to almost die, and it didn't make you give in, I can't ask for it. ”
He Lao said anxiously: "Ai Lao, can you compare with that inhuman island devil." Besides, you don't know my unworthy descendants. One day when I leave, the things will be in their hands, and they will have to be ruined. I'll lick my face and rely on you to get old, and use them to change myself for a peaceful old age. ”
