Chapter 50: The Third Grandmother Comes to the Door Again
In the winter of 1983, this day was the final exam of the first year of junior high school.
As soon as the bell rang, ant-like students poured out of the classroom.
And where Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu walked, a vacuum belt spontaneously separated. The students around them were secretly looking at them, their eyes full of envy.
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu have become legends in No. 1 Middle School, first of all, these two brothers are not biological, but the relationship is better than any brother who is related by blood, everyone in No. 1 Middle School knows that Zhao Shenggu holds Guan Yuan in the palm of his hand, and secondly, the brothers have been tied for the first place in the grade since they entered the school, and every time they are full marks of madness, and finally everyone has learned recently, it turns out that the famous "Far Valley" braised meat and "Far Valley" clothing in Yunxian County are the industries of these two brothers.
Now the "Far Valley" braised pork has already made a name for itself throughout the country, and there are many people waiting to join. Although the "ancient" garment is not so well-known because it has not been promoted, its potential is extraordinary, and now there are many people lining up to place orders in Harbin City.
"Yuangu" garment is far from a workshop in terms of scale, Zhao Shenggu built two buildings on the wasteland he bought, this year Xia Wen Jiàn just came, "Yuangu" garment workshop has become "Yuangu" garment limited liability company, and a factory has been built later.
As the factory expanded, more people came to place orders.
"Yuangu" garment production is always in a state of rush, but in this case, none of the workers in the factory objected, because every piece of clothing made has a corresponding commission.
"Yuangu" garment manufacturing not only absorbed people from a few nearby tunzi, but also people from neighboring counties also came to work. It's really good that the welfare of this factory is too good. As long as you are willing to work hard and steadfastly, if you work overtime, it is not difficult to earn 50 yuan a day. Some of the most advanced old people in the "Far Valley" have already become masters, and their daily wages are not less than 100. That's an eye-popping number in those years.
Although Totani Garment has hired three workers a year due to its expansion, people who come to sign up each time can be discharged several miles away.
The income from the "Yuangu" garment making and the "Yuangu" braised pork made Guan Yuan really understand the true meaning of the saying that money is a number. Although they don't have to worry about spending money now, they do everything at home themselves.
Both of them felt more comfortable in this way.
After today's exam, there will be a winter vacation, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu cleaned up the house in the town, and Guan Guo sold out the braised meat early in the shop in front of him, thinking that Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu would also go back to Tunli, so they waited for them together.
The snow in the north always opens and closes, their winter time is extraordinarily long, a place always has its own characteristics, after the days have been better in recent years, ice sculptures have also appeared in Yunxian.
It was an old man who carved the ice, and he set up a stall not far from their shop, and the cold weather was so cold that he shivered. Guan Yuan saw that the things he carved were indeed exquisite, so he pulled Zhao Shenggu over to carve two villains with them as a model.
Guan Yuan saw that although the old man was shivering from the cold, his hands were extremely steady when he put down the knife, and after chatting, he realized that this old man was originally specially carved for the rich and noble.
It's just that when the situation is not good, all the people are eager to become a poor peasant in the middle and lower levels, who will find him to do carving, and this craft has been abandoned.
When Yunxian County began to sell ice sculptures, the old man thought of his craft, so he came out to set up a stall to earn some money for food.
It didn't take long for the ice sculpture villain with Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu as the mold to be carved, even Guan Yuan, who had seen too much of the realistic process assembly line in later generations, couldn't help but admire, this is really too similar, except for the difference in size, it is simply a copy of him and Zhao Shenggu, and even the two tiger teeth that Guan Yuan laughed at were carved out.
Zhao Shenggu also couldn't put down this villain, especially when he got Guan Yuan's villain, he never let go of it in his hand.
Guan Guo couldn't help but carve one, and he also thought about bringing the whole family over tomorrow to carve a family portrait together.
Guan Yuan's heart moved: "Grandpa, are you the only one in your family who knows this kind of carving skills?" ”
The old man sighed when he heard this, "After learning this craft from my master, it was originally going to be taught to my eldest son, but it was not taught later, and I am afraid that there is really no one else who knows this craft in Yunxian except me." ”
Guan Yuan sighed, I don't know how much such a unique craft has been annihilated in the long river of history. Because of his respect for the old man, Guan Yuan deliberately gave a few more yuan when he gave the money, and the old man smiled so much that his eyes couldn't see, and he thanked him repeatedly.
Halfway through, the two went to see the "Far Valley" garment again, and saw that everything was in order, so they returned to Guanjiatun.
Looking at the home that he hadn't come back for a week, Guan Yuan felt very kind. The yard was clean, and Guan Yuan knew that Li Ying helped them clean it up.
Zhao Shenggu took off his coat and burned the kang and the hearth when he entered the house, when Zhao Shenggu burned the hearth, he especially liked to put some peanuts and chestnuts on the kang next to him, because Guan Yuan liked to eat. This time was no exception, and after the stove was ready, he still circled the kang outside.
glanced at Guan Yuan, who was tossing by the window, worried that the temperature difference between inside and outside the house was too big, so he walked to Guan Yuan's side and rubbed his body vigorously, and then asked him to enter the house.
Guan Yuan placed the two ice sculpture figures facing inward by the window, so that they could see it when they lay on the kang, and in such a cold weather, there was no need to worry about the ice sculpture melting.
"Alright, let's go into the house, change this outfit, I'll go cook." Zhao Shenggu pulled Guan Yuan closer to the house, instructed him, and went into the kitchen himself.
The fire in the house was very hot, and Guan Yuan didn't feel cold at all, but he still obediently listened to Zhao Shenggu's words and changed into a set of dry clothes.
When he came to the kitchen, Zhao Shenggu was making soup with an apron, and the heat was thick, which made Zhao Shenggu's resolute face a little softer. Guan Yuan didn't do anything, just moved a stool and sat in the back and looked at Zhao Shenggu fixedly.
Zhao Shenggu felt the hot gaze on his back, his head didn't turn, and he chuckled: "Why don't you go to the fire?" ”
Guan Yuan supported his chin with his hand: "Let's go together when you're ready." ”
Zhao Shenggu raised his eyebrows: "Then I have to hurry." ”
Guan Yuan was amused by Zhao Shenggu, stood up and hugged his waist, his face was pressed against his back and he didn't speak, Zhao Shenggu held the spoon with his hand, and he suddenly felt that the place where Guan Yuan was attached was burning like a fire, and even the temperature on his face was also high.
Zhao Shenggu didn't know why, but he liked Guan Yuan's dependence on him very much, and he wished to keep Guan Yuan by his side all the time.
Zhao Shenggu felt that at this moment, even the air seemed to be stagnant, and there was only buoshing hot soup in the entire kitchen, and the unconsciously movement of his hand holding the spoon slowed down.
"Brother....?" It was Guan Yuan who shouted at him suspiciously to bring him back to his senses.
"Ahh What's wrong? ”
"I said the soup was ready." Guan Yuan pointed to the churning soup pot.
"Oh, yes, we'll eat." Zhao Shenggu's action of serving the pot was a little flustered. Guan Yuan looked at Zhao Shenggu's abnormality suspiciously, thinking of what happened just now, he was overjoyed, could it be that Zhao Shenggu already had feelings for him?
Not long after the two of them finished eating, there was a knock on the door, Zhao Shenggu got up and went to open the door, and found that it was Guan San's grandmother who knocked on the door. Zhao Shenggu looked at the third grandmother suspiciously, since the last time they came out for the third grandmother, the third grandmother still spoke to Zhao Juan for Guan Mandi, there was no contact between them, why did the third grandmother come today in the cold weather?
Anyway, an old man stood in front of the door, and Zhao Shenggu couldn't let her stand outside, welcomed the third grandmother in, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
After Grandma Guan San finished drinking the tea with shaking hands, her face recovered a little.
Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu took out something to give to Guan San's grandmother to eat, but they didn't ask a word of extra words.
The third grandmother wanted to speak several times, but in the end she still didn't say it.
Zhao Shenggu put on a thick coat for the third grandmother, and finally sent her home, and after coming back, Zhao Shenggu was obviously silent a lot.
Guan Yuan asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
On the way back when Zhao Shenggu sent the third grandmother back, the third grandmother cried to him all the way, saying that Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan didn't treat her as a human being, and she often had to eat cold rice and drink cold water on such a cold day, and often had to work.
Zhao Shenggu just listened, didn't say a word, and watched the third grandmother leave after entering the courtyard.
Guan Yuan sneered in his heart when he heard this, although the third grandmother had help when they were suffering, but since he was reborn, he and Zhao Shenggu have always been good to the third grandmother, before that incident, no matter what they get, he and Zhao Shenggu would think about leaving a copy for the third grandmother.
In addition to these, Guan Yuan also saved the life of the third grandmother, and no matter how great the kindness is, it is over.
And the third grandmother was wronged by Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan, in the past, as long as the third grandmother said, he and Zhao Shenggu would always take care of it, so that Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan would stop for a while.
Maybe the third grandmother thinks like this, she can't live her life, so she hopes that Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu will make Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan a little bit. But at the same time, she didn't want anything to happen to Kanmandi.
I have to say that the third grandmother really has a motherly heart, but why should he and Zhao Shenggu come to act as the villain, people are precious to save themselves, since the third grandmother feels that her son is greater than one qiē, then don't find someone else to be the wrongdoer.
What Guan Yuan could think of, Zhao Shenggu naturally thought of it, the third grandmother had always been an elder who cared for him in his mind before, and now that the bloody facts were revealed, his mood would naturally not be good.
Guan Yuan covered his hand on his face: "Brother, it's none of our business what happens to others." ”
Zhao Shenggu snorted and hugged Guan Yuan tightly in his arms.
After the holiday, naturally there was no need to get up so early, Guan Yuan pulled Zhao Shenggu, who wanted to get up, "Brother, sleep with me for a while." "Maybe it's because the child is thirsty to sleep, Guan Yuan will feel that he hasn't slept enough when he gets up early, and now he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to sleep lazy.
Zhao Shenggu smiled dotingly, took off the clothes on his body again, hugged Guan Yuan in his arms, and slept for a while, and it was already nine o'clock when the two got up again.
Guan Yuan looked at Guanjiatun, which was covered in heavy snow, and took a deep breath, it's better to be at home!
"Xiaoyuan, don't stand outside for a long time."
"Got it"
Just as Guan Yuan was about to enter the house, there was a knock on the door, why did so many people come to look for him as soon as he got home! After opening the door, I found out that it was Guan Guo.
Guan Guo stood anxiously outside the door: "Xiaoyuan, where is Shenggu?" ”
"My brother is cooking, what's the matter?"
"The third aunt wants to drink pesticides, and now many people are persuading her!" Guan Guo said anxiously.
Hearing that the third grandmother actually wanted to drink medicine, Guan Yuan's heart was also sudden, but I heard that there were many people persuading, Guan Yuan also figured it out, will the person who really wants to die make everyone know?
"Then what are you looking for us, it's useless for us to go!" Guan Yuan asked Guan Guo.
Guan Guo sighed and touched his head: "Didn't you think that you and the third aunt would get close, and maybe you would listen to it after persuasion!" ”
Guan Yuan asked Guan Guo quietly: "Who told you to call us?" ”
"Hey, isn't it that the third grandmother has been crying and saying that she can't help you, and the big guy wants to ask you to persuade you" Guan Guo looked at Guan Yuan's calm face, and also felt that something was wrong: "What's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”
Guan Yuan laughed: "There is no Uncle Guan, you go back first, there are so many people in the third grandmother, and it is useless for me and my brother to go." ”
"Oh, then I'll go first." Guan Guo is a rectum, and Li Ying is here for this matter, and Bacheng has already figured out the twists and turns inside.
Guan Yuan sneered in his heart, the third grandmother is really terrible, seeing that they have no hope here, she will use this trick immediately, which can not only make her life a little better in the future, but also will not have any substantial impact on Guan Mandi, and she also wants to use his and Zhao Shenggu's sympathy to pull them in. He said that a woman who raised her children alone can be a simple role!
Zhao Shenggu was already leaning against the door when Guan Guo spoke, and naturally figured out this incident in his heart. Seeing Guan Yuan enter the house, he beckoned to him with a smile: "Let's eat." ”
Guan Yuan smiled and showed two tiger teeth: "Hmm." ”
After the incident of the third grandmother, many people in Tunli were dissatisfied with Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan, and the village chief also sent a fire to Zhao Juan and Guan Mandi, saying that if they did this again, Tunli would send them to the police station together.
This trouble, Zhao Juan really stopped, at least on the surface, she was very filial to the third grandmother.
But Guan Yuan has been very unhappy recently, Zhao Shenggu will turn 16 years old this year, and there are many people who marry such a young man in Tunli.
Zhao Shenggu is good-looking and so rich, who has a girl in the nearby tun doesn't want to climb up to such an uncle, so since Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu went home, the matchmakers have come to the door one after another.
