Chapter 110: Fear of the Inside

There is no traffic, no high-rise buildings, no lights.

Rows of tiled houses, old and new, are neatly arranged along the narrow and neat asphalt pavement, forming alleys.

Looking up at the sky, you can see a sky that has not been polluted by smog and neon, and the color is clear and clear, and large cotton-like white clouds are dotted among them, forming a static and beautiful picture.

The occasional pigeon flying by, or the occasional smoke rising from someone's chimney, coupled with a few distant dog barks, is enough to convince you that you are living in this painting.

Although the economy is developing rapidly, the country is vigorously building new rural areas, and the village style and village appearance have undergone earth-shaking changes, this peace and tranquility still exists and is maintained, making countless urban people envious and coveted.

This is my grandmother's Beiyan Village, located in the east of Yangxin County, Binzhou City, which is the place that carries most of Meiyu's childhood memories.

Grandma is a person who hates hospitals very much, she always says that there is a smell of dead people in the hospital, Meiyu has always been curious why she has such a sense of smell, is it because of the bad smell of disinfectant water?

In short, after two days in the hospital, my grandmother insisted on going home despite the doctor's dissuasion and the opposition of her relatives and family.

Since she was young, my grandmother was a very stubborn person, and she couldn't pull back the nine cows that she decided.

So in the end, everyone had to follow her wishes and send her home.

So Meiyu returned home with her grandmother as planned, and took care of her with her mother.

Grandma has no children under her knees, and she has three daughters, and Meiyu's mother is the second. My grandfather died at an early age, and since then, Meiyu's mother and two aunts have taken turns to take care of my grandmother.

Grandma has a strong nature, but she is also afraid of affecting her daughter, she doesn't like to be taken care of, and she almost never goes to any of her daughter's houses.

Grandma's house is not big, red bricks, green tiles, cement primary color courtyard walls, the yard is cleaned clean, tidy and orderly, an old apricot tree, stretching in the corner with a graceful posture, its crown is very large, the branches are thick, but it is not high, that is grandma in order to facilitate the picking of apricots and deliberately controlled.

Grandma called this tree Xiaoxing.

Meiyu still remembers the day Xiaoxing was planted, it was her 7th birthday, and her grandmother said that from today on, let Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing compete to see who grows faster.

Nowadays, the little apricot branches are luxuriant, and when the harvest season arrives, it is fruitful, and Xiaoyu has also changed from an ignorant little girl in the past to a big girl who has the identity of a life changer today.

However, the grandmother, who witnessed the competition, was no longer healthy and strong as she used to be, wrinkles crawled all over her face, the years weighed on her back, and various diseases invaded her body.

Grandma, she no longer has the ability to plant another little apricot......

Grandma had just taken the medicine and fell asleep.

Meiyu came to the courtyard, followed the ladder placed next to the courtyard wall, climbed to the roof, and sat on the ridge under the golden sunset.

It was her favorite thing to do as a child.

When she was a child, Meiyu was a very quiet child, not always like to climb up and down like other children, but whenever she liked to sit on the roof like this at dusk, sometimes lying down.

She likes to stare at the sky for a long time, to look at the soft white clouds for a long time, and to admire their changing shapes.

Whenever this time she thinks about a lot of things, as for what she thought at that time, now she can't remember, the only thing she can remember is that it won't be long before there will be smoke coming out of the chimney not far from her, which proves that grandma has started to make a fire to cook, and then soon, grandma will call her down to eat.

Then, the grandmother's call is like an introduction, and the village will constantly hear one after another, all of which are the sounds of adults calling for children to come home for dinner......

"There's a kind of you raising him! You kind of take him to your house! Our family is poor, we don't have so many houses! I can only let my mother live here, what's wrong??! I can't come once a month, and when I come, I chirp crookedly......"

"Then you can't let our mother live next to the pigsty! Aren't all your east and west houses idle......"

Just when Meiyu fell into her childhood memories, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from the neighbor's house, which completely interrupted her interest.

Then, the quarrel became more and more intense, and quickly developed into invective, which escalated into unreasonable, only pure swear words.

This kind of scene, like a group of piano masters playing the piano and arguing, and then suddenly a madman jumps out and poops on the scene with his bare buttocks, which is disgusting, disappointing, and annoying.

Meiyu was condescending at the moment, and he could see very clearly that the quarrel came from the western neighbor of his grandmother's house. The male host's name is Zhu Junxun, and the villagers gave him a nickname - Zhu Fear.

Zhu Junxun is a pig breeder, quite afraid of his wife, typical tracheitis, so the title of pig fear is also worthy of the name.

Zhu Junxun pig raising is a good hand, to have technology, to have strength, to be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, so in recent years pig raising has made a lot of money, the scale of the pigsty has also developed from one to five, the number of heads from the beginning of five to the current more than 20.

Some people say that if a person has been in a certain profession for a long time, his personality will be imperceptibly affected by the factors of that profession. For example, if you sell fish for a long time, your eyes will gradually become dull like that of a fish, and you will become a "dead fish eye". Maybe this sentence makes sense, and Zhu Junxun is a good proof.

Zhu Junxun, a good pig farmer, manages the family, but he doesn't even have one-tenth of the ability to manage pigs, and his personality becomes more and more like Zhu Bajie, cowardly and stupid, stupid and stupid, one of the two places he likes to stay in the most is the pigsty, and the other is in the bed.

He doesn't like interpersonal interactions, he is basically a pig breeding machine, and his wife is in charge of the big and small things in the family.

Speaking of his wife Shan Qiaohua, she is a typical country woman, more than 1.7 meters tall, big hands and feet, big face, fat body, broad shoulders and round waist, walking steps like an earthquake, talking like a bell, scolding people is even more like a lion's roar.

Diametrically opposed to Zhu Junxun's Mu Ne character, Shan Qiaohua has a violent and pungent personality, and she is also famous in the surrounding villages.

In addition to these, there is another thing that Meiyu has learned about the neighbor couple - not very filial.

Zhu Junxun also has a father, 73 years old this year, hemiplegia paralyzed in bed and can't get up, and a little Alzheimer's, I don't know how Zhu Junxun's own son feels about his father, anyway, in the eyes of his daughter-in-law Shan Qiaohua, the old man is a burden, and the old man didn't give a good face when he was not sick before, and now the old man's body is not good, and he is even more disgusted.

At the beginning, the old man himself still had a small earthen house to live in, and then it fell into disrepair, and it was washed away when it rained heavily in summer.

Zhu Junxun actually has a younger brother named Zhu Junchang, but he went to another village to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and he is a bad guy with a similar personality to Zhu Junxun.

Therefore, the old man had no choice, and Zhu Junxun and his wife had no choice but to let the old man live in.

After the old man came, the single bridge flower was dirty, so the old man lived in the east house, and the house where the pig feed was put together, sleeping on a hard wooden bed, no stove in winter and no fan in summer, and the single bridge flower did not send a meal or water to the old man, usually Zhu Junjun sent some food and drink, barely maintaining the old man's food and clothing.

And now this quarrel ......

From their quarrel, Meiyu quickly understood the general situation of the matter: recently, Shan Qiaohua let the old man live in an adobe house next to the pigsty on the grounds that there was no place to store pig feed! All day long next to the stinking pigsty.

This adobe house was originally used to house the tools for raising pigs and cleaning the pigsty, and the exterior and interior walls are not decorated, directly exposed pieces of adobe, such a primitive style of architecture, is rare in today's world, but now, Danqiaohua lives as an old man in his 70s who is frail and sick, and cannot take care of himself.

The neighbors, the villagers, and even the people in the surrounding villages shook their heads and sighed, but they were helpless, after all, this was not a crime, and it was a family affair, and outsiders were not good at talking.

Zhu Junxun's younger brother Zhu Junchang came home today and saw that his old father actually lived in an adobe house next to the pigsty, the walls were not even covered with mud skin, the wind was leaking, the ground was pitted and damp, and what was worse was the smell in the pigsty.

Zhu Junchang couldn't bear it, so he said a few words to his brother and sister-in-law, but the two sides quarreled, and finally escalated into street scolding and then fists and feet......

Single-bridge flower has a loud enough voice, articulate, and stupid Zhu Junchang, who is the opponent? And he couldn't take the old man to his own, so he was weak in his heart, and soon he was defeated, and fled in disgrace amid his sister-in-law's bloody scolding.

In this way, Shan Qiaohua did not give up, scolded from the door of the house to the entrance of the village with his hands on his waist, and scolded until he couldn't see Zhu Junchang's shadow, so he went home with a high profile as a winner.

Her high-pitched and loud scolding, that unbearable words, floated over the entire Beiyan Village for a long time.

Meiyu was disturbed by this scolding, and finally had to put on headphones and let the singing on his phone calm himself.

Such a woman......

It's really hateful.

Maybe something should be done to make her understand the meaning of the word filial piety.

Meiyu put his hands behind his head, lying on his back on the roof, when his eyes looked at the sky again, he no longer saw the blue sky and white clouds, and only the ugly and distorted face of the single bridge flower was shaking in his sight......
