Chapter 7: My Dad Is Back!
Although Mrs. Shen has a pair of small feet, she pinched her waist with both hands, and she really had the momentum of a king who could be scolded by all the ladies in the world.
She poked Shen Xiu's forehead with her fingers, and Shen Xiu's head turned red in a few clicks.
Before he could finish his scolding, there was a knock on the door outside. "Is the sister-in-law of the Shen family here? β
Shen's daughter-in-law pushed open the courtyard door, and before she could see it clearly, the person went into the courtyard.
"Why did you come to open the door, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, I've been calling the door for a long time. Sister-in-law, it's good that you're here, you guys are also eating. Hey, what kind of meat is this so delicious! Dog meat, no wonder!"
The visitor went to the hall to fetch a chair, sat down next to the old lady, picked up the chopsticks on the table, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
In the 60s, there were still stamps for everything, and food stamps, cloth stamps, and meat stamps appeared in the context of the era of insufficient social productivity.
With these tickets, it will be much cheaper to buy things, and without these tickets, you may not be able to buy things with money.
Guo Changgeng has a little meat ticket every month, and he has to contribute it to his family, and he can eat it in his own mouth.
When he ate a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, his stomach was half full, and he leaned back in his chair and sighed with satisfaction. "I'm eating well at home, and if your third son doesn't pull me here, he will say that there is an emergency, and he won't say the reason when he asks why, what is going on?"
"Hmph, Xiao San has a lot of ideas, and now he can give ideas to the adults in the family. Third Uncle Shen glanced at Shen San, who was standing in front of Shen's eldest daughter-in-law, and a cold snort came from his nostrils.
"That's not it, this belly has a little ink and starts to look down on people. Shen's third daughter-in-law put the dishes and chopsticks in her hand on the table and supported her husband with practical actions.
Shen San shrank behind Uncle Shen and didn't dare to say a word.
Shen's daughter-in-law laughed dryly and pulled Shen Xiu over. "Xiu'er, this is the postman from several nearby villages, you have to be called Grandpa Guo, not an uncle. β
Hearing Shen's daughter-in-law's introduction, Shen Xiu's eyes lit up.
The eldest lady is very angry in this wave of operation! Is there a god assist?! Okay, she will ignore the big mother's troubles.
When Shen Xiu saw Guo Changgeng, she felt familiar, and when Shen's daughter-in-law found out, she instantly remembered Guo Changgeng's identity.
The postman appeared, confronted him, and looked at how the old lady quibbled!
"Hello Grandpa Guo, I am Shen Tiqing's daughter Xiu'er, and I met in the east of the village two days ago. I have always heard my grandmother say that you can do it, and every time I help the soldiers of the army to deliver letters to their homes as soon as possible, so that countless soldiers can keep in touch with their families, Grandpa Guo is really a great person. β
Shen Xiu's fat face was full of kind smiles, and good words poured out like no money.
Guo Changgeng was almost stunned by Shen Xiu's high hat, and he held on to the corner of the table and waved his hand at Mrs. Shen. "Hey, sister-in-law is really, what is worth telling the child, it's not all duty. β
Old Mrs. Shen looked confused, when did she say this?
But she has not been in vain for more than 60 years, and a smile has been squeezed out of her face. "You've done a good job, we've all seen it. Speaking of which, all these years of being in the army, thanks to the letters you sent back and forth. β
BingoοΌ
Shen Xiu waited for this sentence, and immediately called Grandpa Guo sweetly. "Grandpa Guo, I met you in the east of the village that day to deliver a letter, did you tell me that my dad was going to come back on family leave? I told my grandmother that my dad was coming back soon, woo, grandma has been, has always refused to believe me, and said that I lied. β
Halfway through her words, she couldn't stop crying.
"Hey, why are you crying when you talk about it? Guo Changgeng was caught off guard, his sleeves were wet from crying by Shen Xiu, and he couldn't sit or stand for a while.
I went to someone else's house to eat at night and made people and children cry, what is this?
Old Lady Shen didn't understand Shen Xiu's intentions at this time, she grabbed Shen Xiu's collar and wanted to drag her to her side. "Big brother, don't be surprised, this girl is still young, she has just been wronged, and she has to cry a few times when she sees anyone. β
"Grandpa Guo, did you say it!" Shen Xiu was dragged by the old lady to stand unsteadily, and when she saw Guo Changgeng's embarrassed expression, she was angry.
Apparently she underestimated the old lady's prestige in the village.
She didn't know what Shen San's intention was to call Guo Changgeng to come, but Guo Changgeng came to testify for her, what is the situation now that she doesn't speak?
Guo Changgeng was still confused, but he finally understood that he was involved in the Shen family's family affairs.
The pungency and partiality of the old lady of the Shen family are known to all the villages, don't say that it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, he is also a postman who runs coolies, he can't do anything.
He already wanted to leave in his heart, and looked down to find that the corners of his clothes were tightly pulled by Shen Xiu. Looking at Shen Xiu's clear eyes, he trembled a little in his heart.
"Big brother, I'm here to eat dog meat today, if you're full, go home early and go to bed." β
"Sister-in-law, this child misses her father too much, don't blame her too much. Guo Changgeng saw the fierce light in Mrs. Shen's eyes, and finally opened his mouth.
"I'm naturally provincial, this person is easy to get sleepy when he gets old, and my sister-in-law won't send you. β
Holy!
Looking at Guo Changgeng who turned around to leave, Shen Xiu swiped a wave of pop-up screens in his heart that wanted to be harmonized.
"Grandpa Guo, you know, my dad is coming back! If you don't help me say a fair word today, my dad will naturally ask you for justice when he comes back. β
The brain is a good thing, I hope you have a little.
She said it so clearly, if Guo Changgeng still didn't understand, she wouldn't have anything to say.
That's right, he still ate meat when he arrived at Shen's house, how could he avoid it? Old lady Shen is spicy, and her second son is not a good talker!
"I just forgot that I was full, and I was about to go out before I remembered that my nephew asked me to send 20 yuan, and said that I would come back next month. Sister-in-law, Tiqing is now a regiment commander in the army, and he is a big official. β
Guo Changgeng ran away after speaking, he was used as a gun today, will he still watch the show if he doesn't leave?
These words caused the faces of everyone in the courtyard to change, especially He Juan exclaimed. "Great, great, I'm coming back. β
Hmph, no matter how big the official is, he is also my son! The money he sent me is for my pension, and he can't get a penny when he comes back!
Mrs. Shen's expression was a little hideous, but when she thought of it, if the second child really came back, she would see her wife and daughter.......
No, she had to go back to the house and think about it.
Seeing that the old lady got up to leave, Shen Xiu naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
Do you want to leave before the matter is resolved? Or is it acting after making trouble for so long?
greedy for his son's military allowance for more than ten years, and falsely accused his granddaughter of failure, so he didn't apologize?
She just wanted to ask, grandma, do you have a sore face?
This old lady is really simple, she only has herself in her eyes, she must teach her to be a man!
For these bullshit relatives, she will not be soft-hearted when she makes a face.
"Did Grandma forget Grandpa?"
When Mrs. Shen heard her dead ghost husband in a trance, her face immediately changed, and her body couldn't help but swing.
"In the future, the second daughter-in-law will take the show girl to the table for dinner, I see who dares to say more. β
