Ah Gong is not a verbose person, Grandma doesn't say it, as soon as he speaks, he will absolutely implement it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Liang Xiaoju used her trick again: walking around the yard, even if she didn't leave the hospital, she also went on a hunger strike, crying and refusing to eat lunch!
Ah Gong went back to the room and found a piece of money for Xiao Man: "Go to the consignment store, buy a few cakes, buy some candy, and let her take it with you on the road!"
Xiao Man had no impression of the one-dollar bills of this era, and took a light on it: "Do you want to buy a dollar?"
Ah Gong didn't know what she was looking at, so he looked up at the sky and replied, "After buying it, there seem to be six or seven babies in her house...... If you want to eat, save some. ”
"I don't want her," Xiao Man took out two cents from his pocket and raised it: "Ah Gong gave five cents last night, and I still have leftover, and I want to buy cakes to eat!"
Ah Gong smiled and patted the back of her head: "My Xiaoman will save money, it's really good!
Xiao Man was embarrassed for a moment: It's really good...... Well, she came back alive and became the good granddaughter of Grandpa and Grandma again!
I went to the supply and marketing store to buy ten rhubarb cakes, fifty fruit candies, and four of my own rhubarb cakes, Lin Liuping carefully helped her wrap three good-looking paper bags with newspapers, Xiao Man hugged her in his arms and hurriedly ran home, and it took more than ten minutes before and after.
When I got home, I put the two packets of candy for Liang Xiaoju into the back basket of my grandfather, and went to the yard to take off the set of clothes and pants that she washed and dried directly after taking a bath yesterday, folded it and put it in, as for the set that Liang Xiaoju was wearing, the newly bought small vest and underwear are nothing, the small floral shirt and blue worker's cloth pants given by Aunt Han are a little worried that it will be difficult to answer in the future, but Liang Xiaoju thinks it is hers, and the clothes are **** Put it away immediately, put it on when you take a shower, and now if you let her take it off, it won't be like peeling the skin?
Liang Xiaoju was finally caught by Ah Gong, crying so much that the sky fell apart, along the way, Ah Gong dragged a little girl who wiped her tears and cried, she was really more like a human trafficker than a human trafficker, fortunately, there are not many pedestrians on rural roads, someone came up to ask and explained a few sentences, most of the neighbors in the Quartet are familiar with their faces, and there is no trouble.
Gongdao Village and Shangling Village are seven or eight miles apart, and they will go far along the road, and they will pass through the fields and ridges by taking a shortcut road, which can save half the distance, Ah Gong pulled Liang Xiaoju and took the highway, and it is estimated that he will go to Shangling Village, and he has to talk to his aunt a few words, and when he returns home, it is already evening.
Xiao Man was cooking in the kitchen, throwing firewood into the stove, covering the pot, and then ran to the door to listen, and the grandfather in the yard sighed and said to grandma: "It's no wonder that I don't want to go back, the house is too small, just two thatched houses, three big ones, four small ones, two adults, I can't step in...... gave ten yuan, and the eldest sister snatched it away as soon as she came, so she had to give another five yuan...... When I come back, Xiaoju is still running away, I can't bear it!"
Grandma also sighed: "That's no way, you raise me and Xiaoman alone, can you raise one more?" Your eldest sister brought two that day, she saw that Xiaoju was stable here, maybe she had to send it." That's your eldest sister, you can't wipe your face and can't push it, after a long time, she will come to take charge of your house again like before, and I won't be at peace. ”
"Who can be in charge of our family? Even the eldest sister in the past can't! Don't talk nonsense, let the children hear, what prestige is there!"
When Grandma heard this, she couldn't help but giggle: "Only those who are in charge need to have prestige, what prestige do I want? Old man, you haven't said this word for a long time, how do I feel, we seem to be alive again? We are still young, Guoqiang and the second child are still young, and they still call us fathers and mothers...... At that time, you walked like the wind, and you carried heavy burdens so fast, I was kind to the two children, and you were always prestigious, but no matter how naughty they were, you were reluctant to beat and scold......"
But Ayu, I have always felt that my body is getting more and more energetic recently, I didn't eat breakfast every morning, I only drank a bamboo tube of water, climbed rocks, went down the mountain, my arms are not sore, my legs are not weak, my back basket does not feel heavy, I walk briskly, I have a big appetite, I eat a big bowl of every meal these days, just like I did a few years ago...... Yesterday I had a conversation at my fifth brother's house, and he said that this is because I have hopes and goals, just like that person has a burden on his shoulders, and he can't muster up the strength to send the burden to the place?
Grandma echoed: "It should be like this! That's it! I also feel that I have a lot of light work here, and I think in my heart every day: hurry up, we have a child, we can do whatever we can, walk around the house and out of the house, touch the little work at hand, those headaches and waist numbness in the past are gone! I live in a small courtyard over there, you are not at home, I am very uncomfortable, waiting to eat and wait for death and other scolding, thinking about which day and day I will die like this, this life has finally passed...... I don't think so now! Amu, in the future, you give me the money, I will save it, and I will not give it to anyone except Xiaoman to study! I want to treat my eyes, I think my eyes can get better! We are fifty-six years old this year, right? For Xiaoman, we will live for another twenty years! She said that she wants to take the college entrance examination for you, and we will watch her, and when she gets married, we can still give her children...... Do you say it?"
"Ayu, as long as you can live, I will definitely follow you, and I can live as long as I can!"
“……”
Xiao Man covered his mouth, tiptoed back to the stove, looked at the raging flames in the stove, and tears rolled down - in the previous life, Ah Gong fell off the cliff, and Grandma followed and ate the broken intestine seedlings, in this life, Grandma wanted to live for a long time, and Grandpa followed her to live......
Spreading out the palm of her left hand, Xiao Man was extremely fortunate to have a wonderful jewel world, she decided, in order for grandma's eyes to get better as soon as possible, she started practicing the five-bird play today, enhanced her physical fitness, and entered the jewel space, even if she couldn't bring out the purple lotus seeds, she could pull a little lotus leaves!
After dinner, Ah Gong carried the lantern and walked away with the basket on his back, and in the basket was a set of clothes that Xiao Man had packed for him, a firewood knife and a bamboo tube of spiritual spring water, a paper bag, which contained a piece of rhubarb cake and two simmered sweet potatoes, and confessed to Ah Gong, asking him to put it away, so that he could make supper or breakfast, and don't let the mice eat it or anything.
The summer night is short, there is no film and television, and the rural people are used to going to bed early, but recently the rice has been harvested one after another, and the quiet summer night is not quiet: not far from the grain station, several production teams have sent people to work overtime to step on the threshing machine, making a loud noise, the 100-watt electric bulb is bright and brightly illuminating the four directions, many children are running there to play, rolling in the straw pile, screaming, laughing and shouting endlessly, because of such noise, the whole village seems to have postponed the time to go to bed.
