"Brother Dazhu, I'm not here, I'm Jiaze!" Zhang Jiaze arrived at Zhou Dazhu's house in Xizhuang and found that the door outside was closed, so he stood outside the door and shouted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Dazhu followed his father to flee due to a famine ten years ago and settled here. Father Zhou made a mistake of vomiting blood on the road, and he couldn't do his work and had to see a doctor and take medicine. When he first arrived, he was still a child, and he had to take care of his sick father Zhou and bear the burden of supporting his family.

Zhang Ziyang and Li Sanniang saw that their father and son lived in a temporary shed, and they often gave them some food, and helped Qi Wei and them find a house for them to settle down. After he grew up, Zhou Dazhu rented a few acres of land from the Wu landlord's house to plant, and usually did some hard work in the village or town, and also picked some preserved fruits to sell in the village. A few years ago, Father Zhou, who had been suffering for many years, passed away, but the family owed a lot of debts, and he had to be busy making money sooner or later. Because his family is poor, the 23-year-old has not yet started a family.

In this era, marriage is relatively early, girls generally marry at the age of 16, and boys marry at the age of 18. If the family conditions are good, it can be delayed for another two years, and if it is dragged later, it will be gossiped about by the seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, and it is not easy to find a good family.

It didn't take long for a tall farmer with a sturdy body and broad eyebrows to come out of it, and as he walked, he started to arrange his clothes, and replied in a loud voice, "Here, Jiaze, why are you here, but what's the matter?" ”

"Brother Dazhu, you're there!" Zhang Jiaze greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Dazhu looked Zhang Jiaze up and down, and when he saw that he was smiling and nothing, he pulled him into the house. "Let's go, let's go inside."

The house was an adobe thatched house, a hall, two wings, a utility room, and a new kitchen of its own.

Zhou Dazhu led Zhang Jiaze to the side room where he lived, and the other room was where the deceased Father Zhou used to live. He took out a few pieces of preserved fruit from a row of jars against the wall, wrapped them in paper, and walked out of the room.

"Is the family okay, is Yue'er okay now? You sit there and wait for a while. ”

Zhang Jiaze pulled a stool and sat at random, and when he heard the words from the compartment, he responded: "The family is fine, and Yue'er is also very good, Brother Dazhu." ”

After a while, Zhou Dazhu was holding half a bag of grain and a dozen eggs in his hand, and several paper bags were placed on it and handed to Zhang Jiaze. "Take it, your big brother doesn't have any skills, don't be too little. Originally, I wanted to send it to your house after a few days of work. Since you're here, take it back with you, so I don't have to make another trip. ”

Zhang Jiaze is not not not picking, since his father went, Brother Dazhu will take some food to their family every once in a while, and he is not limited to how much. I couldn't push it many times, and the family itself was difficult, so I took it.

"Brother Dazhu, now that the family has changed a lot of eggs for Yue'er to keep, there is food at home. Don't you know, last time my brother and sister picked up a lot of grain in the field, which can last for months! ”

Zhang Jiaze was afraid that Brother Dazhu would blame him for not taking these, and he didn't care about anything, so he directly told him about the last time he was picking up waste in the field. Anyway, Brother Dazhu is good to them, so it's okay to let him know.

Zhou Dazhu finished cleaning up his own land and went to work in the town during the autumn harvest, and he didn't walk around the village for several days, and no one told him when he went home very often, but he really didn't know about it. But he knows that after the farm is busy, each family will clean up again by themselves, and he has also picked up the few acres of land he rented in his early years, and how much grain can be picked up in the field! This kid's words are not reliable, and he is blind!

In the past few years, he has not rented any more land from the landlord Wu, and he is really too busy to be alone. The rent there is less than that of the other landlords, but it is also half of it, because there is no time to take care of the rented land, which produces not much grain, and it is better to work for money. It's just harder!

"Take it, how much can you pick up in the field? Don't I know yet! There is also this egg for Yue'er to replenish her body, and the preserved fruit is used as a snack for her. ”

Zhang Jiaze was anxious when he saw that Brother Dazhu didn't believe it, "Really, Brother Dazhu, don't look at it and don't pick it up, but there is so much land, just pick up a lot of land from the landlord Wu's family!" And the grain collected is now stored in the cellar, if you don't believe it, you can go to my house and have a look. ”

Zhou Dazhu looked at Jia Ze's excited expression, thinking of the landlord Wu's house, and felt that what this kid said might be true! I didn't expect them to come up with a way to scavenge waste.

However, this kid is stupid, this thing can't be said casually, if you let others know that you can pick up a lot of food by scavenging, you will rush to pick it up, so what will you pick up next year? If you don't have to pick it up, you have to go hungry. Thinking of this, Zhou Dazhu, a man with crops, said solemnly: "Why are you so stupid, you kid, don't talk about picking up food, otherwise you won't have to pick it up next time, don't be so stupid in the future." ”

Zhang Jiaze listened to Mu Mu's and hurriedly explained: "No, I'm not stupid, I'm not afraid that Brother Dazhu won't believe it, and besides, I didn't tell anyone else, so I told Brother Dazhu." ”

Zhou Dazhu was relieved when he heard that Jia Ze only told him, and at the same time, he was very happy that this kid believed him. But he was still admonished. "That's fine, but you can't tell me, some things aren't secrets. You have to remember. "Although Zhou Dazhu is not very old, he has fled with the seriously ill father Zhou since he was a child, and he has been working in the town.

Zhang Jiaze nodded solemnly when he heard this, he understood this. But the phrase "you can't say it to me either" was thrown aside. Then he told the family about picking black fungus in the mountains and selling it for money, and Zhou Dazhu couldn't help but nod happily when he heard it. The kid just told him not to say everything, and said that he knew, forget it, the bear kid can't hide it, and the next time he sees Jiahang, he will tell him again.

If Zhang Jiaze knew that he trusted but was treated as a bear child who had nothing to do, he wouldn't know how to be sad!

"By the way, Brother Dazhu, I haven't said anything about business yet!"

"You kid, why did you forget about business, hurry up."

"Hehe, it's actually not a big deal, my eldest brother asked me to invite you to the house for dinner at noon."

"What? Eat! You go back and tell your eldest brother about this, Brother Dazhu thank you first. It's just that I have something to do in the town these days, and I have made an appointment in advance, and I'm going to go out later, so I won't go. ”

Seeing that Jia Ze, who had always been in a good mood, suddenly became stunned, and quipped: "You kid, why aren't you happy!" I'm not prevaricating, I'm really something. Not this time, and next time! When your family is well, even if your brother doesn't call it, I will rely on your family. ”

"Well, Brother Dazhu, I'm just waiting for you to come to our house!"

"Ouch, you leather monkey, you are still teasing Brother Dazhu!"

Zhou Dazhu looked at the childlike appearance of Jia Ze, and his heart was relieved, this child was very old before, sullen, like a little old man, and he didn't know what made him better. Anyway, as long as it gets better, he doesn't think about it anymore.
