To put it mildly, plus he promised to accompany her to practice three times in the future, before he used a letter gummy candy and a 2-cent butterfly hairpin to send away Xiao Lori, Zhang Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, only villains and women are difficult to raise.,Even a little Lori is not ordinary.。

After that, Zhang Zhao bought himself 20 bean stalks, and Grandma Wang gave 2 according to the rules. Zhang Zhao was a little slanderous, obviously the consumption limit is 5 cents, and 5 should be given away, these profiteers .......

Walking out of the store, it was already half past seven, and there were more bicycles on the road. Although it is not as spectacular as the tide of Qiantang when you get off work at night, it is also endless.

In this residential area, except for a few families, there is at least one person who works in the No. 6 factory, and there are even some families with three or four members who are workers in the No. 6 factory. And such a family, whether it is a daughter or son, will definitely not worry about finding a partner.

After dodging several bicycles with bells ringing, Zhang Zhao decided to wait until after work hours before coming out! Back at home, his grandmother was holding a sprayer to spray pesticides on his flowers and plants, and the pungent dichlorvos made Zhang Zhao sneeze.

"Come inside and wash your hands. "Grandma made a sound after the convenience mask.

"Got it, grandma!" Zhang Zhao opened the door of the upper house and entered the house, only entered the hut where his aunt lived last night, and before he had time to take a closer look, it was just right at this time.

Although the upper house of my grandmother's house looks like a spire herringbone room from the outside, the roof of the house is not slanted, and the grass-green plywood ceiling is at least three and a half meters high, which completely bursts the commercial housing of later generations. Of course, the rest of the facilities are more basic.

Whether it is the kitchen or the bedroom, it is a cement floor, because of long-term scrubbing, it is very smooth and translucent. The kitchen was very dark, and I could only vaguely see the bottles and jars on the terrazzo stove. In addition to the condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which are indistinguishable from later generations, the most eye-catching are two wide-mouth clay pots with a diameter of about 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. It was used for meat oil and cooked meat.

In this era, except for some high-ranking cadres, no one has a refrigerator at home, and the only way to preserve meat is to marinate or stir-fry it into jerky. As for meat oil, it was not particularly important in 85 years, and if it was more than ten years earlier, if anyone could buy a large piece of lard, it would be able to save the life of a family!

At this time, the level of oil deep processing was not good, and a lot of LPG produced after catalytic cracking could not be recovered and disposed of, except for giving it to their own residents as gas, the rest was directly burned!

The tap water in the pool is metered, but the 50 tons of free water per month is not used in this era when it is impossible to bathe at home.

Turn left from the kitchen and you'll find the door to the big house where my grandparents lived. Zhang Zhao pushed the door into the house, and was dazzled by the sudden sunlight. Although it is not the floor-to-ceiling type of later generations, the windows that are close to 2 meters high also allow the room to be lit up enough.

Next to the window is a 2-meter-wide bed, which is where grandparents usually live. On the west side of the big bed is a small aisle of about half a meter, and a small iron bed of about 1 meter is placed against the wall on the west side of the aisle. On the opposite side of the bed is a strip sofa with a linen cover, and above the sofa is an electricity meter and an electric switch.

The No. 6 plant is also responsible for the use of electricity in residential areas, and the price is a few cents cheaper than the electricity price in the city, and the most important thing is that there is almost no power outage! Because chemical enterprises such as No. 6 Factory have almost strict requirements for the stability and safety of electricity consumption, they have invested in the construction of two power plants!

On the north side of the sofa, there is an old standard brand sewing machine, and a lot of patent leather has fallen off on the dark cast iron body, but because of long-term use, not only is there no rust but it shines a black luster.

This sewing machine accompanied his grandmother all her life and most of Zhang Zhao's childhood. When Grandma was doing needlework, he helped Grandma thread the needle, and when Grandma was not in use, he often removed the belt of the sewing machine and played with the foot pedal of the sewing machine.

Next to the sewing machine is a disassembled dining table by the window and several wooden stools. Unlike the large windows on the south side, the small windows on the north side are only about half a meter wide and less than a meter high. The windows were installed very high, more than two meters, and every time the windows were opened and closed, the grandfather had to step on a stool to get there. And later, after going to elementary school, this job became Zhang Zhao's.

On the opposite side of the sewing machine, on the west side of the room, is a large standing cabinet with pillows and bedding in it. On the south side of the wardrobe, there are two large boxes side by side. This is not a leather or plastic suitcase that can be pulled around in later generations, but a length of more than 1 meter and a width of more than half a meter, with a metal lock nose and brass padlocks hanging from it. However, the lock is only hung on it, and it is not locked. In this era of night closure, unless you go out, no one will lock the door or lock the box.

On the wall above the box hung a number of wooden picture frames, plastered with old black-and-white photographs, and occasionally one or two in color. Different from the selfies that P came and went in later generations, most of the photos at this time were taken in the photo studio, most of them were group photos, there were grandparents and workers, of course, more of Zhang Zhao's parents.

Well, there are only three uncles, second uncles and fathers in this photo, and the grandmother holding the father is so young; this picture is four children, my uncle has been born, and he is still crying....... Hey, this one was from my aunt when she was a child, so ugly..... In fact, my aunt is not beautiful now, and the time when she is really the most beautiful is a few years later, when my aunt has an economic foundation, no matter how she dresses, she follows the trend, plus the intellectuality and self-confidence of college students, and her natural charm is infinite.

"Zhang Zhao, what about looking at the photo again?" Grandma came over at some point, holding a peeled pear in her hand, and handed it to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao took the pear and bit it, his forehead was so sour...... Later generations often envy the food of the past, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and no genetically modified food. As everyone knows, although the products in the three-no era are not polluted, because of the level of agricultural science and technology, most of the vegetables and fruits are not as delicious as those in later generations.

The most obvious is the fruit, whether it is watermelon, grapes or pears, the fruits of later generations are full of color and attractive, and the taste is not bad, but now the fruits are really not flattering, crooked melons and cracked dates or something as long as they are sweet are considered good goods.

"What, it's not delicious? Grandma will cut another one for you. Grandma watched her grandson take a bite and then looked at the pear, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's delicious. Grandma, I'll peel you a pear. Zhang Zhao remembered that his grandmother had peeled fruit for him in his previous life, and he had never done anything for his grandmother, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Okay, my grandson has grown up and is out of breath!" Grandma covered her mouth and smiled: "But grandma is in good health now, and she doesn't need you to work, when you grow up, grandma will help grandma do things when she is old." ”

"Grandma, I'm grown up now, just let me do something for you......" Zhang Zhao's voice was a little choked, he wanted to raise but didn't wait, did he want to say that in his previous life, he had been with his grandmother since he went to college, and he had never been able to do anything for her except to prepare some New Year's goods for the New Year's holidays (and he couldn't buy expensive ones, otherwise he would be returned or overpaid), and he had never been able to do anything for her?

"Silly child, grandma knows that you are filial, just like your father, but now grandma really doesn't need it. If you want to do something for your grandmother, you have to eat the pears and eat more to grow up. Like your father, he was too sensible when he was a child, and the food at home was not enough in difficult times, and your second uncle and your uncle could eat hard, only he only ate half full every time, and as a result, he was the youngest in a few miles of brothers, and he also had a stomach ache......"

Grandma wiped her reddened eyes and said, "Alas, old age, what are you doing with these previous things? After eating pears, you can go out to play, and you don't have to accompany grandma." ”

"No, I'm going to accompany my grandmother, I'll go wherever grandma goes today!"

Grandma stroked Zhang Zhao's head and said, "This kid is talking stupid, grandma is going to your grandmother Yin's house today, and you have to go with you?"

Go and listen to the two old ladies chatter about old things? It's so annoying! Zhang Zhao's otaku attribute was about to attack again, but fortunately, he held back in time: "Okay, I haven't seen Grandma Yin for a long time, I'll go with you!"

"Okay, when grandma packs up her things, let's go. ”

Grandma Yin's house is not far away, two alleys to the west of grandma's house. Grandma took a pot of Junzi Orchid and put it in a dilapidated iron stroller, which was bought by the second uncle for Zhang Zhao when he was a child, and now it has become a special time for grandma to buy vegetables and move things, and it is also the original version of the supermarket shopping cart, right?

Zhang Zhao followed his grandmother to help push the cart, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, is this pot of Junzi Lan going to be given to Grandma Yin?"

"That's right, your grandmother also likes to play with flowers and plants, I see that this gentleman's orchid is very beautiful, so I will send her a pot. ”

"But grandma, I heard that Junzilan is very valuable?"

Grandma smiled and said: "How can you be like your second uncle, you think about money every day, and you must be a little money fan when you grow up! Your grandmother Yin helped a lot when she was in trouble at home in the past, and now our family conditions are better, but you can't forget your roots!"

Zhang Zhao asked, "This gentleman's orchid was bought by the second uncle?"

Grandma said angrily: "Yes, it's this loser, I went to Yongchun two months ago and spent 60 yuan to buy two pots of Junzi Orchid, saying that it will be worth hundreds of yuan in a short time." ”

Yes, since it is an investment project chosen by the second uncle, it is estimated that there will be no drama.

The second uncle likes to invest the most in his life, what stamps, ancient coins, equity certificates, and even co-contracted barren mountains and opened mines. It is said that to catch up with the dividends of the 30 years of reform and opening up, the basic investment is to earn everything, if you are lucky, it is nothing to directly multiply dozens or hundreds of times.

It's a pity that the second uncle is not among them, and the two uncle's various investments are either high-level pick-up and trapped, or the partner has problems and runs away, in short, the second uncle has been busy all his life, and the investment money is estimated to be unable to beat inflation. In the end, it was the house they lived in that was worth a little money......

Not long after, Grandma walked to the door of a house, gently rang the doorbell, and after a hoarse buzzing sound, the door was opened.

"Sister Honglan is here, and my third grandson, come into the house...."Grandma Yin is very enthusiastic, but Zhang Zhao is really crying to death, isn't it because my father is ranked third?

Grandma Yin enthusiastically pulled the grandfather and grandson to the house, and the semi-underground flower cellar of the huge glass conservatory in the courtyard really surprised Zhang Zhao, but it was relieved to think that the deceased old man used to be a department-level cadre.

Walking to the flower garden, grandma stopped, stretched out her hand and moved out of the car to take out the Junzi orchid, and said to Grandma Yin: "Sister Yin, my second son went to Yongchun on a business trip a while ago and brought back two pots of Junzi orchid. Knowing that you like flowers, no, I sent you a pot......"

Grandma Yin looked at the gentleman's orchid pot brought over, with an indescribable look on her face: "Thank you Honglan, I can't ask for this, I spent a lot of money when I bought it, right?"

"It's not expensive, it's not worth a few bucks. Grandma said hurriedly.

Grandma Yin shook her head and said, "Old girl, don't coax me, come, show you the flowers I raised." As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the flower cellar.

A heat wave accompanied by a faint moisture came, making Zhang Zhao frown. Grandma Yin led the way in front, and the grandparents and grandchildren followed down the flower cellar. The cellar is not very deep, the underground part is only about 2 meters, and the noon sun shines through the glass windows of the wooden lattice. In the flower cellar are rows of wooden flower stands, and there are neatly stacked flowers on the shelves, at least hundreds of pots are almost all Junzi orchids!

"Sister Yin, who are you?" Grandma used to see the flower cellar of Grandma Yin's house, and there were at least dozens of flowers in it, but now no matter how big or small the flower pots are, all the flowers in it are Junzi Orchid!

Grandma Yin said: "My family originally raised three pots of Junzi Orchid, half a year ago my son brought it to Yongchun and sold it, and sold it for more than 3,000 yuan in total, and then this loser directly bought all the money Junzi Orchid seedlings, a total of more than 100 plants, and when he went home, he shoveled all the flowers and planted them all."

As a result, in June this year, the Yongchun Municipal Government came forward to control, and a pot of 100 yuan of flowers had to be taxed at 60 yuan, and Junzilan was directly worthless, and I heard that many flowers in Yongchun were thrown directly on the street. Do you like any of my red orchids, I like to move away directly. ”
