Chapter 68: Bamboo Dragonflies
As soon as Du Xiaoxi ran out of the house, he ran into Daddy Du, who was walking home with his stomach up.
Daddy Du saw the baby girl's hand throwing peanuts, smiled and stepped forward quickly, "Xi'er, your seventh old lady's newly fried peanut rice daddy grabbed a handful for you to eat." After Daddy Du finished speaking, he thoughtfully put the remaining dozens of peanuts into his girl's pocket.
Du Xiaoxi grabbed the peanuts in his hand, smelled the smell of wine wafting from Daddy Du's body, and looked up at Daddy Du with a straight face: "Dad, if you eat greasy things again, I will sue my mother, last time Xiaoyun told me that every time my father stood in front of him, he had a big belly and couldn't see what his grandfather looked like, Dad, do you know, if I didn't grow taller, maybe I could only see a belly." β
Daddy Du is a fat man, in recent years, Daddy Du's weight and the Du family's savings have increased day by day, and according to this progress, it will not be possible to pass a few years with all three highs. Poor families are proud of being fat, and being able to eat fat means that they have this economic foundation and have food in store at home.
After the baptism of modern medicine, Du Xiaoxi naturally couldn't let Daddy Du eat like this, so he found a few short-lived fat people as examples, and used 'It's hard to buy old to be thin', 'Life lies in sports', 'I'm thin, I'm proud, I save fabric for the family' to brainwash Daddy Du, and unite Du Niang and a few little brothers to resolutely resist Daddy Du being so ugly and fat.
In order not to be disliked by his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, Daddy Du resolutely reduced the intake of meat at home, but occasionally let go of eating and drinking outside.
Daddy Du smiled embarrassedly, his grandson's 'can only see a big belly' really hurt his grandfather's heart, he was disgusted by his daughter-in-law and wasted fabrics, and he was disgusted by his little grandson and affected his vision. Fat people can't live anymore!
Daddy Du bent down and patted his daughter's bag and coaxed: "Don't tell your mother, Dad will go to the mountain to chop two bundles of firewood when he turns around, and he will definitely toss the two taels of meat he ate today." Feeling the squeezing sensation brought by the lump of meat on his stomach, Daddy Du really felt the disadvantages of being fat, and it was difficult to bend over.
Weight loss! Be sure to lose weight!
Du Xiaoxi got Daddy Du's promise to exercise more, and his eyes smiled, "Okay, don't tell SΓΉ Niang." But dad must walk more! β
The two of them had already entered the door while talking, and Du Xiaoxi grabbed Daddy Du's trouser leg with one hand and held the bamboo dragonfly with the other and said coquettishly: "Dad, look at the bamboo dragonfly that the fourth brother made for me." After speaking, I tried to play it again, and saw that Daddy Du was interested in the bamboo dragonfly that rose into the sky. Du Xiaoxi hurriedly made persistent efforts, "Dad, let's do more and sell it, okay?" β
Du Cheng was used to seeing all kinds of paper swallows flying all over the sky a few days ago, thinking that it was a special thing used by the master of joy to coax children, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, he was an old man in his forties who had long lost his childlike innocence, and now he didn't feel strange when he saw his daughter take out a strange flying wooden stick. What the hell is it that just sells for money? Daddy, is this lacking food for you, or is there less for you to wear, as for you as a little kid, do you want to make money? It must be that the master thinks that our family is not rich enough, and thinks of helping the family praise the silver.
After picking up the bamboo dragonfly that his daughter's fart picked up, Father Du was full of melancholy, "Is this what the master asked me to sell to make up for our family?" "Right? Right!
"Uh-huh!" Du Xiaoxi nodded vigorously, just push all the good and bad things on the master, anyway, we are still young now. "The master said that this can be sold to children to play."
Although Daddy Du's worship of Master Xile is not as fanatical as a woman, it is also thanks to the master that he can live a life of eating meat every day, and the master is half a father of his daughter. That is, half of his own family, and it is normal for his own family to help his family earn money.
After figuring out why Master Xile let his daughter sell things to make money, Daddy Du felt comfortable for a while, and responded with a smile: "Find your fourth brother for this matter, Dad can't do this delicate work, so he will go to your grandfather's house if he can't be busy." β
The conditions of the grandfather's family are medium in the village, and the gap between the two families only became bigger after Du Xiaoxi was accepted by Master Xile and the Liu family got married, the eldest grandfather is Grandpa Du's brother, and Daddy Du has been taken care of, and now that he has the ability, he naturally thinks more about his family.
Du Xiaoxi won the words of Daddy Du's approval. went straight to Du Zhizhong, who was still squatting in the yard and preparing to cut a few bamboo dragonflies for his younger brother and nephew, "Fourth brother, Dad agreed!" Dad said that the grandfather's family also made a sale! β
If you want to say that the person who has the best relationship with the grandfather's family, except for Daddy Du, is Du Zhizhong.
The Great Shang Dynasty believed in having many sons and many blessings. But the poorer you are, the poorer you are, the poorer you are.
There are many children in the family, large and small, and young parents are out every day to earn money to support their families in order to support their children, and the same is true for Father Du and Du Niang, in order to take care of the pork shop. The children in the family were taken care of when they were young, and when they were older, they were taken by their elder brothers, and when they were five or six years old, they were sent back to Dujia Village to study the clan.
Du Zhizhong is almost three years old apart from his brother, and the younger brothers are almost five years younger than him, and when he was sent back to Dujia Village, his brothers have been taken by Du's father to help work, so that in the first few years of being raised by Grandma Du, Du Zhizhong played with Du Youjin of his grandfather's family, and later learned carpenter skills from his grandfather because he was interested. Now that he can help his grandfather's family, Du Zhizhong is a hundred willing.
Life is seventy years old, grandpa Du Gaoshu is at the age of antiquity, sparse pale hair is simply tied in a bun on the head, and there are some dark age spots scattered on the wrinkled face. The eldest grandfather's body is not at all like a seventy-year-old man, and he walks around the yard every day with the crutches made by his eldest son, and occasionally helps feed the chickens on a whim.
When Du Zhizhong hurried over with Du Xiaoxi in his arms, the eldest grandfather was sitting at the door and sharing a piece of red bean cake with his great-grandson who did not have the same teeth.
One is old-fashioned with goosebumps, the other is waiting to be fed without teeth, and the two sit opposite each other, sucking on a small pastry and an indescribable coke with their few teeth.
Du Zhizhong put Du Xiaoxi on the ground, and the two of them greeted their grandfather together.
Du Gaoshu nodded, picked up the plate next to him and motioned for the two to eat red bean cake.
Du Zhizhong realized that he was an adult after getting married, how could he eat what adults gave him casually like he did when he was a child, and took the plate and handed it to the girl who was supposed to eat snacks.
Du Zhizhong half-squatted in Du Gaoshu's ear and said loudly: "Grandpa, I have something to do with my uncle, and I'll talk to you later!" Du Gaoshu's ears are not good, and he needs everyone to roar in his ears to hear, and he nodded when he heard the words, "Go!" Go ahead! It's all right at home! β
Du Zhizhong nodded and pulled Du Xiaoxi into the door.
