2 Neighbor Grandma Huang
"Sister Ruolin, are your grapes ripe?" Through the barbed wire, Rarity, the three-year-old grandson of Grandma Huang's neighbor, tilted his head, flashed a pair of big black grape-like eyes, and looked at her with a look of longing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's Rarity, sister, I'll show you, if there's a cooked one, my sister will cut it out for you to eat, okay?" Ruolin squatted down and talked to him with a smile.
Ruolin's family lives on the first floor of Building 7, a wall is separated by a road, the houses on the first floor have found broken bricks and barbed wire, and the back building and the fence are separated into a small yard, although the area is only seven or eight square meters, but it is indeed very convenient, as long as the balcony opens an iron door can lead to the yard, some people plant flowers and vegetables in the yard, and some people build a kennel and raise dogs in the yard. Ruolin's house cleaned up relatively simply, only set up a shelf against the wall, planted a grape, in order to facilitate the grape vines to climb, and nailed a few thick wires on the wall against the shelf, all the way to the top of the balcony, as soon as the spring, the grapes climbed along the shelves and wires, and gradually spread all over the top of the entire courtyard, and the ripe purple grapes were hung in bunches all over the courtyard, stepping on a small bench, you can reach out and pick it.
Ruolin's grapes are very sweet, in previous summers, when the grapes were ripe, Ruolin and her mother would pick them in bunches and give them to their neighbors to taste.
Grandma Huang heard her grandson's voice, poked her head out of the window of her balcony, and yelled at her grandson, "Rarity, you gluttonous cat, why don't you give it to your sister the watermelon that grandma bought for you?" I will ask my sister for grapes. ”
Ruolin stood up and looked at Grandma Huang, and said with a smile, "Grandma Huang, don't blame Rarity, I told him that when the grapes are ripe, I will pick grapes for him to eat, and you know, no one in our family has been at home recently, and the grapes have produced a lot this year, and if you don't eat them, they will spoil." ”
Grandma Huang looked at Ruolin's little face that had lost a whole circle, and couldn't help sighing, "Ruolin, how is your mother doing, how many times have I said it, let you not rush so much, take food from my house, you kid just don't listen, we are not outsiders, how many years have we lived together, and you still see grandma like this." ”
Ruolin bends down and gently flicks Rarity's little nose with her fingers through the gap in the barbed wire, causing Rarity to laugh "hehe", she makes a face at Rarity, Rarity laughs, and pulls her lower eyelids down with her fingers, sticks out her tongue, and grimacs Ruolin, who deliberately pretends to be startled and jumps back with her shoulders, Rarity is amused and laughs.
Ruolin looked up at Grandma Huang, who was concerned about the slightest pretense, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandma Huang, it's summer vacation, it just so happens that I'm fine, my mother doesn't need to go under the knife for this illness, I still take care of it, you are alone, and you have to help Aunt Manli take care of the children, and you have to cook for Uncle Zhenhai, I'm embarrassed that I didn't help you." ”
Grandma Huang sighed again, "You kid, let me say anything, it's just too sensible." ”
Rarity jumped to the side, "Grapes, Sister Ruolin, pick grapes for me." ”
Ruolin smiled and saluted Rarity, and said loudly, "Yes, sister, I'll pick grapes for you." ”
Ruolin not only took scissors and a small bench from the house, but also a small round bamboo basket under her arm, and then stood on the bench to find ripe grapes, Rarity clapped her hands, "This way, Sister Ruolin, there is one here." "For a while" under that leaf, under that leaf, there is a bunch of red under Sister Ruolin's leaf. ”
Ruolin always smiled, and soon filled the small round bamboo basket.
Ruolin stepped on the bench and handed the bamboo basket to the low wall between the two houses, "Grandma Huang, I won't go to your house, you can bring the grapes to Rarity." ”
Grandma Huang looked at the bamboo basket from the balcony, okay, at least three or four catties, and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "You kid, why do you take so much, you can keep some for yourself, you are too sincere." ”
Ruolin smiled and said, "Grandma Huang, take it away, I gave it all to Rarity, and there are a lot of them on the shelf." ”
Grandma Huang peeled garlic in her hand, ready to make lo mein at night, but without taking advantage of it, she turned her head and shouted at the house, "Zhenhai, you have been bored in the house for a day, and you will grow hair immediately, come out quickly, Ruolin picked the grapes, take them to the house." By the way, cut half of the watermelon that your sister bought at noon for Ruolin and take it away. ”
Soon, a teenager about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a hurdle vest, big shorts, shaved head, and slippers, lazily opened the balcony door and climbed down slowly.
"Uncle, I want to eat grapes." When Rarity sees the boy, she happily pounces on him and hugs his legs, and Huang Zhenhai reaches out and takes the small bamboo basket down, then picks Rarity up with one hand and easily hands it to the balcony.
"Wait." He turned back to Ruolin and said lazily, closing the door on the balcony.
Huang Zhenhai lazily carried Rarity to the living room with the fan turned on, poured the grapes from the bamboo basket into the vegetable bowl in the vegetable pool, and took the knife to cut half a large watermelon, put it in the bamboo basket, and slowly brought it out.
"Oh, take it and eat it." He lazily glanced at the dwarf winter melon in front of him, Ruolin shrugged his nose at him, "snorted", ignored him at all, and turned to Grandma Huang who was standing at the window and shouted, "Grandma Huang, thank you for your watermelon." Then he jumped off the bench with a bamboo basket and went back to his house to cook.
"This stinky girl, don't say thank you to me." Huang Zhenhai muttered, stretched his legs, and ran onto the balcony.
Grandma Huang closes the screen, takes the peeled garlic to the kitchen, washes the handles, helps Rarity wash the grapes, and talks to her older son.
"Zhenhai, Ruolin is going to deliver food to her mother at night, saying that after the meal, she will go to the store with your Uncle Xu's family Xu and his family to inventory the goods, you have nothing to do with your sister to help Ruolin, in a while, you ask her what time she will go to the store."
Seeing that her old son didn't react, Grandma Huang couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Zhenhai, Mom told you, did you hear it?" ”
"I heard you, I'll ask in a moment." The handsome young man yawned lazily, threw the book in his hand on the table, and lay on the table, only feeling that today was very boring, he thought about it, and when he went out for a while, he happened to go to the bald man's house on the way, let him call someone, and wait for the dwarf winter melon to finish the pallet, just ask a few buddies to go out to eat food stalls, and it is also good to drink.
Huang Zhenhai is about to be eighteen years old, and he should be in his third year of high school after the summer vacation, with three sisters and one elder brother. The eldest sister Huang Shuli is thirty-nine years old and has a daughter, who is the same age as Ruolin this year, fourteen years old, three years ago, with the promotion of Huang Zhenhai's brother-in-law, she took her daughter to Kyoto with the army; The eldest brother Huang Zhenguo is thirty-four years old, working as a coach at the Z City Sports School, and there is a boy, eight years old, in the second grade of primary school, and his family is in Z City; The second sister is Rarity's mother Huang Manli, twenty-seven years old, selling tickets at the long-distance bus station, finding a husband who is eight or nine years older than her, opening her own shop to do lighting business, the business is very good, and Huang Manli is discussing recently, let her quit her job at the bus station and help herself, Huang Manli is still hesitating, the youngest sister Huang Qiaoli, 24 years old this year, graduated from the military academy this year, and was assigned to C City in the northwest.
Several brothers and sisters are working, only the old and young in the family are still in school, naturally from time to time someone stuffs money to give him pocket money, and there is a generous and rich brother-in-law around him, every time he sees him, he has to stuff dozens of dollars for him for pocket money, one time fifty, two times one hundred, Huang Zhenhai's pocket money every month will not be less than five hundred, people have money, no matter how generous they are, naturally there are more wine and meat friends around him.
Last Sunday, he and a few fox friends drank too much, at two o'clock in the afternoon, in the fountain square and a few streets of the little ruffians to fight, was actually seen by the dwarf winter melon next door, this dwarf winter melon not only called the police, scared them away, but also threatened him afterwards, if he drinks outside in the future, does not go home obediently, tell his second sister Huang Manli and his mother Grandma Huang about it, let Grandma Huang beat him with a bamboo cane, if so, he is disobedient, and foolish, told his usual troubles as a joke to his crush on Zhang Shuya, the school flower, and he was half angry at that time, and since then he has seen that this dwarf winter melon has a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes.
Grandma Huang's marinade was ready, she took half a pot of water, looked at the big table in the living room at 5:40, and hurriedly called her son, "Zhenhai, you go to Ruolin's house next door, see if she leaves, if she doesn't leave, tell her quickly." ”
Huang Zhenhai went out and slammed Ruolin's door twice.
Ruolin opened the door with a rice spoon, and when she saw that it was Huang Zhenhai, she was a little strange, "What's wrong?" ”
Huang Zhenhai looked at her wearing an apron printed with chick Mitu around her neck, and secretly sneered in his heart, but his mouth was serious, "My mother said, you can't be busy alone, let me and my sister go to help you at night." ”
The little girl in front of her immediately burst into a big smile, "You help me thank Grandma Huang, I also said that I will trouble her in a while, and I was looking for you to help me carry things, Aunt Manly didn't go, she had been working all day, she was very tired, and she took Rarity home to rest after dinner." The little girl tilted her head, "Come alone, I estimate that you should be able to settle the account at about ten o'clock, you come at half past nine, and help me bring back my mother's chaise longue and some odd things." ”
"You're pretty good at supporting people," Huang Zhenhai let out a heavy breath from his nose, "Okay, let's just say it." For the sake of being a generation older than her, Huang Zhenhai decided not to care about her in general.
Ruolin was happily carrying the meal and riding a bicycle to bring dinner to her mother, and the plastic bag contained half a watermelon given by Grandma Huang.
After eating, my mother was a little worried, "Ruolin, you are alone, can you do it." ”
Ruolin smiled and said, "Mom, you forgot, you took me with you when you went to buy the goods, as well as the bill of goods, I can't make a mistake about it, you can rest assured." I can't get it wrong. ”
Mom lowered her eyelashes, "I'm not saying that the account is wrong, I mean that your father is not at home, and our mother and mother will take charge of the store by ourselves, and you say, if he comes back, he will be unhappy........
"If you're not happy, you're not happy, so what should you do, do you really want to listen to him and show the store to the second aunt? The second aunt said that she was helping you look at the store, not only did she have a salary of 600 yuan a month, but she also had to take care of two meals and eat at the restaurant. ”
Ruolin lowered her head and wiped her eyes, "Besides, if you don't sell the store, and your father has no money to repay the debt, Mom, are you going to ask your grandma to borrow it?" ”
Ruolin's mother sighed, rubbed her chest socket, and waved her hand weakly, "Forget it, that's it, let me borrow money from your grandmother and them, I can't open my mouth, the seven thousand yuan we borrowed when we bought the house, half of it has not been repaid yet, and I don't have the face to see your uncle." Go ahead, it's okay to put the store in place, there is some money left, and when I am discharged from the hospital, let's see what else we can do. ”
Ruolin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and finally her mother stopped repeating.
