Chapter 285: The Children of the Poor Are in Charge of the House Early
Seeing that his father had regained a few traces of his former brilliance, Zhou Yu was excited. It's not that Zhou Yu has violent tendencies, it's really that these years of difficult life have almost sharpened the arrogance and heroism in his father's bones, and today it seems that his father has regained his heroism back then, although it is only a little bit, it is enough to make Zhou Yu happy.
The two chatted in the courtyard for a while, and finally found that the ultimate root cause of this matter should not be Mayor Li, and it would be ideal if the contractor took the initiative to terminate the contract. However, both of them are atmospheric people, since there is no good way to do it now, then I don't want to do it, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the old and young masters of Zhoujia Village will accompany them to the end.
After chatting, Zhou Yu went to the third uncle's house to find Zhou Hu, and the two brothers carried a big basket of big peaches on their backs and gave some to the old and young in the village.
There is no shortage of fruits in Zhoujia Village, and each family also has some fruit trees and peach trees, but the big peaches that look so good and taste so good have never been eaten, and for a while, Zhoujia Village in the afternoon kept coming out with cheerful laughter.
There are even some children who are greedy, so they simply follow behind the brothers, looking forward to how many peaches will be left after they are divided, and then they will ask for a few more with the second dog brother, so when the two of them walked to Mrs. Wu's house at the head of the village, there was already a long string behind them.
Seeing that there were still dozens of big peaches left in the back basket, Zhou Yu greeted Zhou Hu, and the two of them sat at the gate of Mrs. Wu's house, and gave two big peaches to each of these children.
Watching the children devour peaches and splash the bright red juice on their red faces, the brothers sincerely felt a sense of warmth.
But to the surprise of the two, these children each had two large peaches. But after eating one, the other clutched it in his hand and stopped eating. That's true for all children. There are no exceptions.
"Brother Ergouzi, your big peaches are so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious peaches, and I can eat five of them at once. Nan Nan blinked a pair of bright big eyes, and her red little face was full of innocence, and she said to Zhou Yu very seriously.
"Oh, we can eat so much, it's amazing. Then why don't you eat this big peach in your hand? ”
"Brother Ergouzi, Nan Nan has already eaten one, and this one is reserved for grandpa." "Yes, we have to leave this peach for grandpa (Taigong) to eat!" The children said in unison.
The children were dressed differently. There are clean ones, some bury ones, and even a few with big snot, but one thing is the same, that is, the eyes of these children when they say this sentence are so innocent and clear.
"Good boys, you are all good children who are filial. Nan, if that's the case, then you might as well eat it, because Brother Ergou has already sent a few to your grandfather. Zhou Yu was moved by the children's sensibility and filial piety, and said with some emotion.
"Really? Brother Ergouzi, you are so good, then leave this to Brother Tiedan. He went to his grandmother's house yesterday and hasn't come back yet. ”
"Oh, so that's the case, but Brother Ergou also gave Tie Dan two big peaches, both of which are placed at your second uncle's house. When the iron egg comes back, you can eat it. Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Nan Nan hesitated a little and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but after thinking for a while, she shook her head firmly.
Zhou Yu and Zhou Hu were really stunned. What's going on?
Zhou Hu doesn't look at this guy sometimes with a big grin, but he likes children very much. looked at Nannan's appearance and felt a little distressed, so he said gently: "Nannan." What your second dog brother said is true, I can testify to him, he left a lot of big peaches for Tie Dan, so you should eat this quickly. ”
"Brother Sandonkey, what you don't understand, we can't eat the peaches at home, those good things have to be left for the princess to eat, if we eat my parents and my second uncle and second aunt, we will scold me and Brother Tiedan."
Zhou Yu's brothers stopped talking when they heard this, because they had nothing to say. Zhoujia Village has such a tradition from ancient times to the present, good things must be eaten only by the elderly, and it is said that the two of them also came over like this.
Zhou Yu remembered that when he was a child, his family was poor and he couldn't eat eggs a few times a year, but Taigong would definitely have a poached egg every morning for 365 days a year. Although the princess was reluctant to eat and secretly left more than half of Huzi, if this matter was known by the third uncle, it would be a fat beating.
Although Taigong also chased Comrade Dingbang two streets with a stick for this matter, Comrade Dingbang just didn't let go, so that Zhou Hu remembered the evil old society as soon as he saw the poached eggs, and he was so frightened that he trembled. According to Taigong, this is the root of the disease.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled knowingly, hugged Nannan in his arms distressedly, and quipped: "Nannan is really good, but can't you eat such a good big peach?" ”
"Brother Ergouzi, Nan Nan is not greedy at all, my mother said that the body needs nutrition when the Taigong is old, and we children can eat a little bit, and when we grow up, we can make money and buy what we want to eat. The second dog brother and the third donkey brother, when I grow up and make money, I will definitely buy you a lot of delicious food. Nan Nan said with a serious face.
"Yes, the second dog brother and the third donkey brother, when we grow up and make money, we will definitely buy you a lot of delicious food." The children next to him shouted together.
Zhou Yu and his brothers couldn't stand it, not because the children said that they would buy delicious food for themselves when they grew up, but because of the children's sensibility and filial piety, and they felt sorry for these children. Although the elderly need nutrition when they are older, children need it even more!
Alas, the children of the poor are in charge of the house!
Zhou Hu wiped his red eyes and said to the children: "You little guys stay here and don't leave, the third donkey brother will go back to fetch peaches for you, if I come back and see which one is gone, when you are alone in the future, I will run into you and see if I will not clean you up." After finishing speaking, he and Zhou Yu nodded and turned around and left, going home to get peaches.
The children exploded in an instant, jumping and jumping together, and the happy and immature voices spread to every corner of the village.
Leaving the children at the door to wait for Zhou Hu to come back with peaches, Zhou Yu carried the basket into the yard alone.
The courtyard is small, and due north are four tiled houses, and the window frames are painted with blue paint, which has faded badly and become mottled due to the passage of time. There are seasonal vegetables planted in the field on the east side of the yard, and a chicken rack sits against the west wall, and so much for the whole yard.
Wu Taigong was seriously injured in the Anti-Japanese War, and due to the limited medical conditions at that time, he was left with serious sequelae, and one leg was lame, which also caused him to never marry in his life. And in the past few decades, when it rains and bad days, the pain is unbearable, especially in old age.
In the past few days, Mrs. Wu's old problem has been committed again, he can hardly walk, and the meals are also sent by Zhou Dingbang's families in turn, and the distant nephew Wu Boss is responsible for daily care.
Zhou Yu put down the basket and pushed the door into the house.
The room was still clean, Wu Taigong was lying on the kang in a coat, his resolute face was full of wrinkles, and the whole person looked vicissitudes and haggard. It may be that the body hurts again, the old man clenched his teeth, and he didn't make a sound.
Zhou Yu looked uncomfortable, these old people have been strong for a lifetime, even in their old age, they are like this. Originally, Boss Wu wanted to take him to live at home, but the old man was afraid of trouble, but he didn't agree, and people in his eighties still cook and eat by themselves, even if he was sick, he didn't want anyone to take care of him, saying that he was not used to it.
Boss Wu really had no choice but to find the grandfather, and after the grandfather persuaded him a few times, he saw that there was no effect and he did not persuade him, and he told Boss Wu to come over every day to see, and if there was anything that could not be solved, he would find himself.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Mrs. Wu turned his head with difficulty to look, and saw that it was Zhou Yu's pale face with a smile, so he struggled to get up.
"Oh, my father-in-law, you can't get up, lie down quickly." Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly trotted a few steps, held down the old man, and let him lie down.
"Ergouzi, let your kid laugh, alas, it's too old! I kept dreaming about it these two nights, dreaming that my old brothers missed me, so I told them that I wanted to go over and accompany them, but those guys kicked me back, ha, ha, they want me to live for a few more years! Even if he was not feeling well, Mrs. Wu still said heartily. (To be continued......)
