Guan Xiaojun was extremely impressed by his three grandfathers and three grandmothers, and the hearts of the three grandfathers were actually okay, mainly because the three grandmothers were too vicious.

Guan Xiaojun lived until he was in his forties, and he didn't understand what good it did to her with such a vicious personality of her third grandmother.

She starved to death of her second grandfather, because the child was not hers, she naturally didn't feel distressed, but because of her own extinction, she specially adopted a daughter, and she didn't even give her enough food.

In the end, the daughter who was coming was also starved and ran away.

This kind of behavior is incomprehensible and can only be explained as inherently vicious.

Many years later, her adopted daughter came to Guan Hongda's house as a guest, and when she talked about what happened when she was a child, she still couldn't help crying, which shows how hateful these three grandmothers are.

Compared with the third grandmother, the third master is actually not bad, but he is timid and can't be the master at home, so he can only turn a blind eye to what the third grandmother does, pretending not to see.

This third grandfather's name is Guan Fuliang, willing to endure hardships, willing to contribute, willing to work, although he is a small landlord, but he has never eaten good things since he was a child, a wheat, a grain of rice is reluctant to lose.

If he poops and pulls out a bean, he has to wash it and eat it again.

He has been frugal all his life, and his greatest wish is to exchange grain for a few more acres of land.

His family was not wealthy at first, and the later fields, whether they were homesteads or crop fields, were exchanged for half a bag of millet or a few liters of mung beans from poor families who couldn't open the pot.

Guan Xiaojun once saw a box of documents in his house, and a pile of cotton paper was written on the contract of exchanging grain for land, such as 30 catties of wheat, 6 points of homestead, such as 3 liters of millet, and 1 acre of crop land.

These deeds filled a long, gray-yellow box, bearing witness to a brutal and difficult history.

These documents have been soaked in medicine, and rats, snakes and insects will not be destroyed, and they are still kept in Guan Xiaojun's house decades later.

This third master, after a lifetime of hard work, ended up with no children and no daughters, and the more than 100 acres of land that he had finally saved became someone else's after liberation.

But when he was alive, everyone in the village said he was shrewd.

Before liberation, he deliberately set aside two acres of land at home to grow big tobacco, and after scraping out the tobacco paste, he carried it to the county town to sell it, making a lot of money, but he himself resolutely refused to touch this thing.

According to his step, it is a matter of course to eat and drink something good, but he has almost never eaten in the county, and every time he goes to the county seat to sell big cigarettes, he takes his nest head by himself, nibbles dry cakes on the road, and drinks cold water.

Later, he suddenly lost his family once, and drank a bowl of chicken soup wontons in the city, which became the capital of his life's bragging, and when chatting with people, he often said, "Do you know? The wontons in the county town are so fragrant to eat, and there is an old hen stewed in the pot next to it!"

For him, eating wontons is already the most memorable thing.

It is said that such an ordinary old farmer in the old era should not have done anything out of the ordinary, but he not only starved to death Guang Hongda's second brother, but also exchanged food for many people's fields and homesteads in the famine year.

Of course, there is a reason for his wife, but he can't get rid of it after all.

If Guan Xiaojun was at Guan Yunshan's current age, he would definitely not be willing to step on the door of the old man's house, the two families have such a big hatred, let alone stepping on the door, it is good not to fall into the ground.

But there are some things in life that cannot be dealt with by impulse and righteous indignation, and there will inevitably be compromises and helplessness.

Just like now, the three grandfathers and their husbands and wives are two old and desperate families, with no children and no daughters, once there is a disease or disaster, there must be someone in the village to take care of it, and Guan Hongda is the village party secretary and the nephew of the couple, and this matter has to fall on Guan Hongda in the end.

Whether it is out of morality or village rules and folk customs, or because of gossip, as long as the couple is not dead in the house, the burden of taking care of the two of them can only be resisted by Guan Hongda.

Unless Guan Hongda kills the two of them, he will have to take care of them!

Besides, if you don't care about this matter, this is also a stain on Guan Hongda's life, if you watch the two of them die of illness and starvation, what is the difference between him Guan Hongda and the ruthless third aunt?

If this spreads, Guanghongda will not even care if his three uncles and three aunts starve to death, what will the villagers say?

As for how bad the third master was to him before, starving his second brother to death and so on, but human nature is evil, who cares about your previous affairs?

People will only talk about what you are doing.

Sometimes, instead of maintaining the bond of human relations, the stick of morality and blood kinship has become a bond.

Besides, now that the Guan family is so prosperous, I don't know how many people are staring at it secretly, Guan Hongda makes a little moral flaw, and he will be added to the vinegar in the outside world, and it will be said to be a big problem.

When Guan Xiaojun was a child, he still felt that his grandfather was pedantic and became a bad person in dealing with this matter, which was inconsistent with his previous way of acting.

It wasn't until he grew up later that he learned about Guan Hongda's difficulties.

Whether it is from human affection and morality or blood kinship, Guan Hongda at this time really has to be managed.

If they really let them stink at home, it's his nephew who will be ashamed.

No matter how disgusting and reluctant Guan Hongda is, this burden must be picked up!

So instead of this, it is better to open up your mind, write off the past grievances, and help them retire in the end, anyway, his old Guan family is not short of these mouthfuls of food.

But at this time, Guan Yunshan didn't understand Guang Hongda, and saw that Guan Hongda wanted to pay New Year's greetings to the third master by himself, so he immediately stiffened his neck and said: "I'm not going! What are you going to do at his house? Why do you kowtow to them? Let's give him a family, are people and us a family?"

No matter how much Guan Hongda persuaded him, Guan Yunshan just didn't listen, and then simply walked out of the house and went to pay New Year's greetings to other elders in the village.

Guan Hongda stood in the courtyard in a daze, his heart fluctuated, and the situation of suffering in the past quickly appeared in his mind like a movie, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, all kinds of tastes, all kinds of pain, all of which came to his heart.

He will never take the initiative to step on the door of the third uncle's house, but he can't ignore them, but if Guan Yunshan doesn't go, this attitude can't be passed on, and the knot between the two families can't be opened.

Lu Xin'e and Wang Xinfeng were startled when they saw his gloomy face, and even their voices became quieter.

"Grandpa, I'll go with my sister!"

Guan Xiaojun took Guan Yang's hand and said to Guan Hongda, who was contemplative in the courtyard: "Last time, the third old man gave me two cents!"

Guan Hongda woke up from his memories, bowed his head and said, "Good boy, after kowtowing, I told them that grandpa invited them to have a reunion dinner in the morning!"

Guan Xiaojun nodded and said, "I know!"

Guan Hongda said: "Go and come back quickly!"

Guan Fuliang's house is behind Guan Hongda's courtyard, which is a very large house, covering an area of more than two acres, second only to Guan Zizai's big yard.

But now this big courtyard is deserted, and no one goes to kowtow to the door for the New Year.

Although two red candles were also lit at the gate, the candlelight swayed weakly in the wind, revealing the smell of the waning mountains.

Guan Yang and Guan Xiaojun walked through the gate and came to the courtyard, and the rustle of stepping on the sesame stalk alarmed the big yellow dog in the yard, and the dog's barking alarmed the people in the house.

"Who?"

The old man's voice sounded, and an old man walked out of the hall slowly with a crutch, his eyes looking around blankly, "Who is it?"

This old man is Guan Fuliang.

Guan Xiaojun said crisply: "Grandpa, I am Xiaojun. ”

Guan Yang said: "I am Yangyang!"

The two sisters and brothers said together: "We have a New Year's greeting for you!"

The two trotted in front of Guan Fuliang, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I wish the old man a long life and a long life!"

Guan Fuliang's body was shocked, "Yangyang, Xiaojun?"

He shook his body a little, almost fell, and hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Quick, come into the house! There is sugar, melon seeds, yam beans, and ...... in the house."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly choked, and he took the hands of the two of them and walked towards the hall tremblingly, he was trembling slightly, obviously excited, and shouted as he walked, "Old woman, who are you looking at coming? Yang Yang and Xiaojun are giving us a New Year's greeting!"

Under the light of the hall, Guan Xiaojun saw that his third old grandfather was in tears, shedding tears as he walked, and the tears collected in the deep ravines on his face, flowed onto the goatee, and then dripped on the ground.

There was a sound in the room, what seemed to be the sound of something falling to the ground, and then an old woman with thin feet in an old-fashioned black hat stumbled out of the doorway, and because she ran too quickly, her feet slipped and sat on the ground.

She hurriedly struggled to stand up, and when she saw the Guan Yang sisters and brothers who were coming clearly, she stayed for a while, and then suddenly howled and cried.
