Chapter 69: Relatives

During the Spring Festival of 1984, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala had already begun to be broadcast, and the reform efforts in China were further intensified.

In the outside world, in the southwest region, there is a country that is constantly testing the bottom line and endurance of the Chinese government, and a big war is about to break out.

In Guandimiao Village, villager Zhu Fugui injured his mouth because of a firecracker, which became a joke in the village many years later, and Guan Fuliang and Guan Hongda's uncle and nephew, who had not been in contact for decades, finally eliminated the old enmity and restored the relationship under the witness of the grandfather Guan Zizai.

Guan Xiaojun is also a year older.

Just when Guan Fuliang and the others were sitting on the table to eat, Lu Xin'e specially packed two bowls of meat, one bowl of braised pork and one bowl of mutton, and called Guan Yang and Guan Xiaojun over, "Yangyang, Xiaojun, send these two bowls of meat to your grandfather's house!"

Guan Xiaojun nodded, took a small bamboo basket, put two bowls of meat in the basket, and went out with Guan Yang to the south of the village.

In the countryside, there is a custom of recognizing a godmother, and the same is true in Guandimiao Village, where the villagers believe that if a child can recognize a person surnamed Liu as a godmother, then he can be "retained", and there will be no more disasters.

Guan Yunshan has been frail since he was a child, and he is the only son in the family, Guan Hongda loves him very much, and he is afraid that his only son will be lost, so he specially found a godmother for him in the village to recognize, so that the child will be free from illness and disaster.

Guan Yunshan recognized that the godmother was a family surnamed Kong in the south of the village, her husband's surname was Kong, her name was Kong Changshun, and his wife's surname was Liu, I don't know what it was called, they all called her Sister Liu, Guan Xiaojun still doesn't know the name of this old woman.

Kong Changshun is very famous, he is a tough guy who was praised by everyone at the beginning, and his character is very good, after becoming a godfather with Guan Hongda's family, the relationship between the two families is suddenly very different, very intimate, better than the relationship between a clansman with a surname.

These two old people are Guan Yunshan's godfather and godmother, that is naturally Guan Xiaojun's godfather and grandmother, these two old people are really good to Guan Yunshan's family, and if there is anything delicious, they are all kept for Guan Yang's sisters and brothers, after Guan Hongda died, they still came to Guan's house from time to time to talk.

In fact, logically speaking, Guan Yunshan, the junior, should go to their house to visit, but Guan Yunshan, a person, likes to keep everything in his heart, is clumsy in expressing it, and will not say anything good, in fact, he also loves his godfather and godmother very much, but he will not make a pleasing move.

Later, after his godfather and godmother fell ill, Guan Yunshan still spent 2,000 yuan for the old man's treatment and chemotherapy even though his family was poor. You must know that at that time, Guan Xiaojun's money for school was all made up by selling cows, and a cow could only be sold for about 2,000 yuan.

During the New Year's holidays, Guan Yunshan's family will let the children send some delicious food to the old man, and this year is still the case.

Guan Yang and Guan Xiaojun turned south from the street, walked to a narrow alley entrance, turned in and walked a few steps, the innermost family in the alley was Kong Changshun's home.

The gatehouse at the door of Kong Changshun's house is narrow, small, short and broken, the width of the gate is just enough for a cart to enter and exit, and the door frame is barely the height of an ordinary person, a big man like Guan Yunshan, if he wants to enter the door, he must lower his head.

However, this is the normal gate of most Zhuang households in this era, and there are few high-door stone drums like Guan Hongda's family.

The threshold at the gate was a thick wooden stick, Guan Xiaojun stepped over the threshold, kicked away the earth dog that came over, walked into the small courtyard, and shouted at the throat, "Grandpa, grandma, my father and my mother asked me to bring you meat!"

Kong Changshun walked out of the room with a smile on his face, "Xiaojun, Yangyang, are you coming?" Come here, grandpa just cooked here, accompany grandpa to eat something!"

Kong Changshun is tall, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, but he is in good spirits, and his eyes are extremely bright, not like ordinary old people.

He took the bamboo basket handed over by Guan Xiaojun and said with a smile: "Come into the house, grandma has made all the rice!"

Kong Changshun and his family have two sons, and now they have become a family, and they have long lived separately, their two sons are not very filial, and they rarely move around with their parents on weekdays.

Guan Xiaojun was young before, and he didn't expect this, but now that he is reborn, he realizes that the two sons of his grandfather and grandmother are indeed a little disagreeable, and on the first day of the new year, he doesn't know how to invite the old man to a reunion dinner.

After walking into the house, Kong Changshun's wife had already set the meal on the table, four dishes, the portion was very small, but it was rare to have a fish, which was probably sent by Guan Xiaojun some time ago.

Kong Changshun took out the two bowls of meat from the vegetable basket and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "These two bowls of meat are still hot, the next pot is hot, Xiaojun, Yangyang, you two eat here with me, talk to your grandparents." ”

In the past, when Guan Xiaojun delivered food to the elderly, Kong Changshun often said this, but Guan Xiaojun was young and felt that he couldn't find a topic to talk to the old man, and he felt that it was awkward to talk to the two old men, so he had never had a meal with them at Kong Changshun's house, and he couldn't even feel the disappointment in the eyes of the two old men.

After hearing Kong Changshun's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll eat with my grandparents today! Next year you all go to my house, I'll ask my dad to cook for you!"

Kong Changshun was overjoyed, "Xiaojun, this kid is really sensible! Old woman, you go to make another soup!"

Guan Xiaojun smiled and didn't stop him, and said to his sister Guan Yang: "Sister, I want to eat with my grandparents, are you eating together here, or going home?"

Guan Yang said: "I'll go home and tell my parents to go, I won't eat here!"

After Guan Yang left, Kong Changshun and his wife brought chopsticks for Guan Xiaojun, and vigorously picked up vegetables for Guan Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, eat more, eat more to grow bigger, and strive to catch up with your father's size!"

Kong Changshun looked kind, "At that time, when your father was as old as you, he was not as tall as you." ”

The old man's face was kind, and it was hard to imagine that he was also a heroic and fierce man back then, and he was called "the most kind" man by the people in the village.

Decades ago, bandits were rampant in the Yunze area, and Guandimiao Village was once looted by bandits, and several women in the village were robbed by bandits.

When fighting with bandits, Kong Changshun was the most courageous, and he was hacked to death by several by himself, so he was remembered as a great name.

Later, when he went to sell watermelons with a few villagers, he was recognized in a village, and someone in that village was hacked to death by Kong Changshun, so he directly tied up these villagers, saying that he would cut open the stomachs of several of them and dig out their hearts to pay tribute to their dead brothers.

At that time, all the people who were kidnapped were scared to pee, but Kong Chang did not change his face, "Dig it! I haven't seen what my heart is like!"

Later, the people in this village did not kill them, and released a person and asked him to go home and get a ransom to ransom people.

Kong Chang said by the way: "Find Pang Wenhai!"

Pang Wenhai is Guan Hongda's brother-in-law, who followed a big bandit leader in the Yunze area at that time, was arrogant and domineering, and never got off the horse when he rode through Guandi Temple Village, and every time Guanghongda threw it down.

The villager who was let go cried and cried overnight to find Pang Wenhai, at that time Pang Wenhai was playing mahjong with Wang Tianjie, the bandit leader who had been incorporated by the national army, when he heard this, he got up and was about to gather people to save people, but was stopped by Wang Tianjie, "These little things, don't let you come forward, just let the small ones go below, come on, continue to play, I have a good deck of cards today......

At that time, Wang Tianjie's group of people rode horses to Zhuangwangzhai where Kong Changshun was imprisoned, and after rescuing Kong Changshun and others, more than a dozen people who arrested Kong Changshun were also arrested. I wanted to shoot them all, but then I felt sorry for the bullets, so I simply buried them alive.

After this incident, Guandimiao Village and Zhuangwangzhai more than 20 miles away formed a great feud, the two villages have not intermarried since then, and the villagers of each other's villages are cautious when they occasionally pass by each other's villages.

But this incident also created Kong Changshun's reputation, the whole village was tied up, and they were all scared at the time, but he was the most tough, and even the people in Zhuangwangzhai had to give him a thumbs up and praise "there is a kind".

And now Kong Changshun is no longer the heroic spirit of the time, the erosion of the years, the tempering of life, made him a kind and kind old man.

And Pang Wenhai, who saved them at that time, that is, Guan Xiaojun's aunt and grandfather, has been imprisoned after the founding of the People's Republic of China, if there is no accident, in another three years, he should be released from prison, he is thirty years, after he is released from prison, as soon as he puts his pants on the ground, he can stand without falling, because he has been in prison for thirty years, just this pants.
