There are not many meat dishes, one chicken and two eats. Stewed chicken nuggets, everyone has a share, fortunately Hong Yan was prescient. Stir-fried chicken offal with green peppers has a unique taste, with the slight spiciness, crispy and tender chicken offal, and the aroma of Xianyuan garlic sprouts. The buns bought at a high price from Yuzhou were used up yesterday just to feed the dogs, and they were scolded by their mothers as "losers". The rest were steamed today, and each person had a "meat bun that people in the city love to eat". Hong Yan tasted a few chopsticks and specialized in vegetarian dishes. He still likes the natural taste of vegetables without pollution.

The children grabbed the meat and poured the soup, and the adults drank and drank peanuts and gossiped about it. Hong Yan heard that someone seemed to be introducing someone to the second uncle, but they thought that the house was crowded and the house was dilapidated. To put it bluntly, it is poor. Of course, there are also people who want to tell the aunt about the in-laws, and the public immediately objected when they heard the man, and the reasons were basically the same, and they also added a bad ingredient.

Hong Yanxin smiled secretly, the "hot word" of ingredients will be cold after this year!

The children got off the table when they were full, and Hong Yan took the three little ones to wash their hands, wash their mouths, and rinse their mouths. Hong Yan has always eaten relatively quickly, and many times he has controlled his speed. Although the teeth have not grown yet, they are much faster than the average child.

Hong Yan waited for his father to rest for a while, and then said, "Let's go!" ”

"Do you want to go now? Wouldn't it be too early? Hong Jianguo looked at the position of the sun.

"What's early, go early and come back early. You have to go to Grandma's house! "Hong Yantou didn't look back and left. Hong Jianguo followed. I wanted to buy a watch in Yuzhou to keep track of the time, but I didn't know that I couldn't buy it at all.

The two brigades of Furui and Hero are neighbors. However, it will take time to get up and down. They are going to the old Red Army Wu Dehou's house. The Brigade of Heroes is named after him. Half an hour later, Hong Yan and his son finally saw the corner of the martial arts house.

The old Red Army's home was a detached family, located in a small col next to the machine farming road leading to the commune's forest farm, and there was a bright pond in front of it. There is no bamboo that people often plant, but swaying and colorful bamboos, and some are called Xiangfei bamboos. The exterior wall of the "Hero's Residence" is white, the columns are thick and straight, and the wear is thick, and it is a solid home at a glance.

Wu Dehou, an old Red Army, was leisurely listening to the radio in the courtyard dam. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival, the children have their own children's affairs, where can they come back. Phone? I have to go to the commune to pick it up in person, and it will take an hour! The dog in the house barked, did anyone come?

Two people, one tall and one short, got off the machine plow road and were walking towards home. The old Red Army is in his early 60s, his body is still quite good, his body is straight, his ears are not behind his eyes, and he is a smooth light, so he can clearly see the dwarfs among the comers. He couldn't help laughing, he still came after all! The black dog ceased to bark and lay to the side with half-squinted eyes.

"Grandpa Wu, we see you're here!" Hong Yan waved his hand, and his voice was very loud.

"Oh, yes! Kids are welcome! Wu Dehou smiled heartily to welcome.

While talking, Hong Yan and his son entered the dam. Hong Jianguo greeted the old Red Army, so he didn't say more. He could also see that most of the enthusiasm of the old Red Army was due to his son. The old Red Army looked at the basket that Hong Yan was carrying, and said with a smile: "What? Do you still bring gifts for the holidays? ”

"Hee-hee, Grandpa Wu's eyes. A little specialty at home, if you give a gift, you really can't do it! Please don't dislike Grandpa Wu! ”

"Hong Yan said it's a holiday, come and see Grandpa Wu, it's all family, worthless things." Hong Jianguo interjected.

"Okay, good, Grandpa Wu doesn't dislike it. Come and show Grandpa what good things you've brought? Wu Dehou was curious about what the child would send. Uncovered the basket with a flower cloth head, "Ha, what is this, glutinous cakes!" Good stuff, haven't eaten it in years! The smell is almost forgotten. What is this? Wu Dehou unscrewed the cap, looked at the transparent golden viscous liquid through the mouth of the bottle, and knew in his heart: "This honey is quite good!" Haha, this is the hanging glutinous rice ball! Hey, is this mash? It smells so good! Well, it's indeed a specialty of the family, grandpa likes it! "The others are red oranges and navel oranges.

Hong Yan watched the old Red Army sometimes laugh like a child, and sometimes explore the contents of the basket with seriousness, and did not hide his joy!

"Lao Wu, don't you invite guests to sit?"

"Oh, little friend, you see that I am glad to be here. I forgot to beckoning you to sit down! What a faux pas! ”

"Grandpa Wu is polite, let's just stand for a while." Hong Yan looked at the woman in her forties who was carrying a handful of vegetable leaves in her hand and said. I guessed that it should be Grandpa Wu's wife.

"That's your Grandma Shao! Over the years, I have suffered a lot. Grandpa Wu introduced her identity to Hong Yan, and it was as guessed.

"Ha, hello Grandma Shao! If it weren't for Grandpa Wu's introduction, wouldn't you dare to call you? ”

"Am I that scary?" Grandma Shao's accent is not like that of Shuchuan, but like a northerner.

"It's not scary. Grandma Shao, if you walk on the road and see you called Auntie," Hong Yan said with a smile, his eyes were very naughty.

"Haha, the little ghost is interesting and can talk!" Grandma Shao scolded with a smile.

"Xiao Shao, come here. Do you see what good things the children have brought? The old Red Army beckoned to his wife, but in fact, she put down the vegetable leaves in her hand and walked to her.

Grandma Shao looked at the things in the basket and was slightly surprised: "There are so many things, it costs a lot of money, right?" ”

"Grandma Shao, I didn't spend any money, it's all my own. Last time I saw Grandpa Wu in the Yellow Cypress Tree. Hey, Grandpa Wu has a charming demeanor, after knowing that he is an old Red Army, my admiration for him is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control......"

Hong Jianguo was listening to it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he reached out and patted the back of his son's head: "Nonsense!" ”

"Haha~~" Wu Dehou and Grandma Shao both laughed.

"Actually, I admire Grandpa Wu very much, and I want to hear him tell heroic stories! Grandma Shao, do you know? Grandpa Wu only said one word that day, and ran away with his tail between his eyes...... Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't understand the momentum, I'm afraid I'm worse than him. ”

"Which is Scar's Eye?" Grandma Shao didn't seem to know each other.

"Dogs. Don't fight for things, grab things with children! Wu Dehou didn't seem to be angry.

"Little ghost, don't care! In your words here, 'don't fall into the teachings', it's better to teach him a lesson!" It seems that it has been quiet for a while! Grandma Shao touched Hong Yan's head and said.

Hong Yan sat next to Wu Dehou, and Hong Jianguo sat on another stool. Grandma Shao went in and came out with a thermos bottle to pour tea for everyone. Hong Yan Jianguo hurriedly took it and poured tea. Their home is a gaiwan cup, and at first glance it is a tea set for hospitality by knowledgeable people. Ordinary villagers just use a small soup bowl to pour tea for the guests. The small soup bowl is not necessarily a fine white porcelain, but a black coarse porcelain bowl.

Wu Dehou asked Hong Jianguo's family and the situation at home, and also learned about Hong Yan's schooling. Hong Yan didn't say that he didn't go to school, so it's hard to explain for the time being. He encouraged Hong Yan to study hard, make progress every day, and read the way. Combined with the hard work in rural areas, he also "went to university to contribute to the country and the construction of his hometown". Hong Yan looked like he was being taught, and nodded in agreement.

"Hey! What a way to teach a child these great truths! Wu Dehou was talking happily, and suddenly patted the chair and said.

"Uncle Wu, you have learned a lesson, children are not sensible, so they have to listen to your old man. It's a blessing to listen to your old lessons! Hong Jianguo said that Wu Lao was well educated.

"Grandpa Wu, it's really a blessing to be able to listen to your lessons. How many people want to hear it but don't have the chance! If I really want to listen to you every day, you must know that your speech contains a lot of life philosophy......"

"Zheli is still Zhewai, I know how to teach people all day long, and I still think I ......" Grandma Shao was saying and suddenly stopped. Hong Yan also knew that he must have thought that he had a high official position in the past, and he could reprimand his subordinates casually.

"Grandpa Wu, Grandma Shao, if you stay at home for a long time, do you want to go to my house to have a look? It's just that the conditions at home are poor, there are many children, and it is very ......noisy."

"Are you inviting or refusing someone?" Wu Dehou asked in a lengthened tone.

"Invitation, absolute invitation, you don't dislike it, you can experience the life of our rural members." Hong Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. He, of course, knew that the old Reds were joking.

"We experience the life of rural members every day...... Alas, all these years thanks to the care of your Grandma Shao. Wu Dehou said this from the heart, and his eyes were warm and full of tenderness when he looked at his wife.

He told Hong Yan that after he left his post, he would be sent back to his hometown. Grandma Shao accompanied her back, but she was initially unaccustomed to the water and soil, and she was seriously ill. After that, fully immerse yourself in local life. Due to his previous injuries, there is also said to have been a piece of shrapnel near the spinal nerve that has not been operated on. Therefore, he can't do physical work, and in damp weather, the injured part will be faintly sore. Grandma Shao used a warm water bag or a hot sandbag to warm the compress. And Wu Dehou's immediate family members are gone, except for their children and grandchildren. The distant relatives in the brigade are all more than willing but not enough, at most they help carry water and chop firewood. Grandma Shao not only had to take care of the old Red Army, but also had to grow some vegetables or work in the fields. The brigade and the production team did not look at each other differently, did not let Grandma Shao work too much, and had special care during the New Year.

However, the old Red Army Wu Dehou did not talk about his own experience head-on. Maybe Hong Yan is still meeting for the first time, so it's inconvenient to say! Perhaps he missed his wife's affection too much. You know, their union was also the organizational task of that era. Not only combined, but also truly achieved the husband and wife!

"Grandpa Wu, you must take care of your health! You are still young, you have been working for decades in the revolution, and it is time to enjoy life. More than 60 years old, it is still the prime of life, you still have to play a greater role in the construction of the country's 'four modernizations'! The country has been delayed for many years, and it is impossible to continue like this forever, or there will be good news soon. Hong Yan comforted the old Red Army. Many of their generation fought with revolutionary ideals in their hearts, and many of them volunteered. After the success of the revolution, he was disarmed and returned to the field, and he was willing to be an ordinary member of society.

"Well, I'll pay attention to it, old man. Life in the countryside is actually very pleasant, the air is sober, there is no pressure, and it is easy to live a long and healthy life. Wu Dehou smiled.

Of course, you can live a long and healthy life without life pressure, but how can those ordinary members and villagers have no life pressure. I don't have enough to eat, I don't have warm clothes, and I have to do heavy farm work, and my life has long been overdrawn.
