The matter of Zhang Laibao's arrival in Sanlitun soon spread throughout Tunzi, and people finally saw Zhang Xiumei's toughness once, and also saw how majestic his godson was.

When Zhang Lai Baolai Sanlitun was making trouble, Zhang Xiumei's son Jiang Sheng was still young, and he could only watch Zhang Xiumei being bullied and helpless, and now Zhang Xiumei's son has become the pillar of the family, not only can he protect people, but also work, and he can build a new house and get married at home.

Zhang Xiumei still kept her door closed, and rarely communicated with others except when she was busy with farming, after all, the fact that she had tuberculosis made her as unapproachable as a ghost in the hearts of the children in Sanlitun, even the old man who was about to die would deliberately alienate her when talking to her.

Zhang Xiumei has been lonely all these years, and she is also forbearing, he loves Jiang Zhengyang, and hopes that he can reconcile with the people on his mother's side, even if Jiang Zhengyang scolded her and beat her, she admitted it, she felt that Jiang Zhengyang loved her, so when Jiang Zhengyang died, Zhang Xiumei decided to cut off all contact with the people on her mother's side.

Whether her mother is dead or her father is dead, Zhang Xiumei didn't even look at it, just like Chen Gongbo back then, who ruthlessly abandoned her and took away her son, although she often wrote letters with her son, she never mentioned Chen Gongbo.

Zhang Xiumei is also proud, because her son Jiang Sheng is so good, her daughter is so good, and even his adopted son is so good.

Zhang Xiumei sometimes couldn't help but laugh happily when she looked at Xiao Wu's figure, she said to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, my mother is waiting to hold her grandson now, and when Jiang Rong graduates, you will marry her, and when the time comes, I will be able to leave with peace of mind if I have a big fat boy." ”

Xiao Wu said: "Mother, if you live a long life, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

Xiao Wu made his life easier after running the moped, and sometimes those who got off work would go back to the tunzi early, for fear that Zhang Xiumei would work in the field by herself again, or something would happen.

Zhang Xiumei has been waking up at five o'clock for so many years, and she used to be able to cook for Jiang Sheng and Jiang Rong to eat, but now that the two children are not around, she has to clean the yard inside and out, and when Xiao Wu wakes up, she will take out his quilt and clothes and pants to wash.

Xiao Wu knew that Zhang Xiumei would always be busy with something, so she also turned a blind eye, as long as she didn't get tired of her body.

Although Zhang Xiumei's body is much better now, after all, she is tuberculosis and cannot do heavy work, and is prone to asthma and coughing up blood.

Since Zhang Ximei washed her hair, her white hair is particularly eye-catching, she is afraid of scaring the children in the tunzi, and she is reluctant to reduce it, she always feels that hair is the continuation of life, only in this way will Jiang Sheng continue to live, so she found a leather rope to coil up her hair, looking like a kind old lady.

And Shen A-Niang, who is a few years older than Zhang Xiumei, is still a noblewoman, so many years have passed, and the years have only left shallow traces on Shen A-Niang's face, she and Zhang Xiumei are commensurate with each other, but when they stand together, they are like a mother and daughter.

Once Shen A-Niang gave her box of rouge cream to Zhang Xiumei, Zhang Xiumei waved her hand and said, "I don't need it, my man died, and I didn't use these anymore." ”

In Sanlitun, if Zhang Xiumei is the person who cares about Jiang Sheng the most, then the second person who cares about Jiang Sheng must be Shen Aniang.

Shen A-Niang finally couldn't help crying when she learned the news of Jiang Sheng's sacrifice in 1953, and her eyes were a little blurry and she couldn't see things clearly.

Back then, Shen A-Niang came to Sanlitun half-crazy and half-stupid, and she should have become a nameless frozen bone on the side of the road, but it was little Jiang Sheng who sent her food again and again, blowing hot tea in the cold tea jar for her, and feeding her medicine.

What Jiang Sheng didn't know was that it was his actions that made Shen A-Niang always believe in the warmth of human nature in her heart, and she always started and finished well, that is, because of Jiang Sheng, when the great famine came, Shen A-Niang was not afraid of the annihilation of human nature and saved almost the entire Sanlitun.

Jiang Sheng's death made Shen A-Niang doubt her long-standing beliefs, Shen A-Niang asked people everywhere to inquire where Wu Qingyun, the god operator in Qiantang Town, was, she knew Jiang Sheng's birthday, so she wanted to ask the god operator to calculate whether Jiang Sheng was alive or dead.

For so many years, even the most famous fortune teller Shen A-Niang didn't believe it, she only believed in Wu Qingyun, because he was the one who guided her to Sanlitun, and Wu Qingyun said that she would meet the noble person of her life here.

One night, Shen A-Niang had a dream, in which she dreamed that Jiang Sheng was still alive, so she told everyone that Jiang Sheng must still be alive.

That is, from that year on, on the morning of April 8 every year, Shen A-Niang would always bring a bowl of noodles to Zhang Xiumei's house, and there was only one bowl of noodles, which was a longevity noodle made by Shen A-Niang herself.

In Sanlitun, including Zhang Xiumei, including Xiao Wu, and Jiang Rong, even if no one in the whole world knows what April 8th means, only Shen Aniang, who can memorize Jiang Sheng's birthday, knows that it is Jiang Sheng's birthday.

Zhang Xiumei remembered Jiang Sheng's birthday, but she never had the concept of a birthday, but Shen A-Niang knew how the children in the city could not have birthdays, and she would watch Xiao Wu finish the bowl of longevity noodles every year, just like looking at Jiang Sheng.

There is always a feeling in the world, which has nothing to do with blood or love, because something and a good thought connect two strangers together, leaving irreplaceable thoughts.

Xiao Wu sometimes thinks of his childhood when he looks at the children running around in the tunzi, when he was a child, he was the king and hegemon in the tunzi because of his great strength, and no one dared to provoke him, because he was afraid of a Jiang Sheng who would bite later.

But in fact, he was not afraid of Jiang Sheng, because this established child was clean and docile, spoke milkily, and looked very well-behaved, so he was reluctant to fight, otherwise how could Jiang Sheng beat him.

Even when he and Jiang Sheng became good friends, he took the initiative to propose it, Xiao Wu said that he was the boss of Sanlitun, and if he was willing to become his best friend, he would have to pull the hook and not change for the rest of his life.

Xiao Wu once fantasized that one day when they all marry wives and have children, if they all give birth to boys, let them become brothers, and if they are a boy and a girl, they will be engaged to a baby.

Once Xiao Wu saw a very naughty child with a group of children to besiege Yu Xiaoguang, Yu Xiaoguang's son Yu Xiaoguang was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was also a big man, but he was stupid, and he didn't dare to fight back when he saw so many people besieging him, so he had to cover his head and kick a group of children.

The child at the head was particularly ruthless, his eyes looked wild, like himself when he was a child, Xiao Wu stepped forward to drive a group of children away, and asked them not to beat Yu Xiaoguang in the future, but he didn't expect the child at the head to rush up and beat him.

"Little brat, where did you get the ability to even dare me to fight, what's your name?" Xiao Wu asked, carrying the child.

The child glared at Xiao Wu with his teeth and claws, and yelled: "you, you dare to hit me, I told my dad to kill you, what kind of hanging thing are you?" ”

"It's really uneducated, who is your father?" Xiao Wu asked.

"His father is Li Xing, and his name is Li Haotian." A child next to him said.

"It turned out to be Li Xing's son, if there is really a father, there must be a son, no wonder there is no education." Xiao Wu said and threw Li Haotian on the ground, looked at the other children and said, "Don't play with this Li Haotian in the future, and don't learn from him to swear a word, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." A group of children said fearfully.

"I'm going to fuck you, I'm going to kill you!" Li Haotian got up and rushed towards Xiao Wu again, looking fierce and murderous.

Xiao Wu has never liked to bully people younger than himself, and he will not do anything to five or six-year-old children, but this child named Li Haotian makes him extremely annoying, and he kicks Li Haotian away, using soft strength and not hurting anyone.

Li Haotian rolled on the ground, the ghost cried wolf, and said that he would take his father to kill Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu took away the bullied Yu Xiaoguang and said: "Whoever beats you in the future will fight you back, don't let a group of children bully you, do you know?" ”

Yu Xiaoguang nodded while wiping his tears, Xiao Wu knew that his brain was not bright, so he didn't say anything and went home.

At dinner, Li Xing took Yu Xiaoguang to the door of Xiao Wu's house, now he is the captain of the Sanlitun production team, he usually speaks very authoritatively, and he was extremely angry after learning that his son was beaten by Xiao Wu, and dragged Yu Xiaoguang to the door.

"Little Wu, why do you even beat children." Li Xing didn't dare to make a move with Xiao Wu, he mixed with Zhao Zhuang when he was a teenager, and he didn't take the young Xiao Wu in his eyes at all, but now that Xiao Wu has grown up, he naturally confessed when he faced Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu said: "Don't you know what virtues your own son has? At the age of only five or six, he is full of swear words and wants to kill people, and children are not so ignorant, you should raise children as dogs, and let them out and bite when you see people? ”

"Dad, you go and beat him to death!" Li Haotian glared at Xiao Wu angrily and shouted.

Li Xing frowned, his face was extremely ugly, and said: "What do children know, I don't need you to care about how I raise children, I warn you not to touch my children in the future." ”

After Li Xing finished speaking, he pulled Li Haotian to go back, Li Haotian struggled with all his strength, the ghost cried wolf and beat Li Xing's hand, Xiao Wu said: "Li Xing, everyone is a villager in the township, I advise you not to be too used to this little thing, otherwise it will definitely be you who will regret it in the future, his wild is different from the wild when we were children, this is a murderous look." ”

Li Xing stopped and faced Li Haotian is two feet, Li Haotian scolded in his mouth, Li Xing lifted Li Haotian upside down, and slapped Li Haotian almost out of breath.

Li Haotian's mother ran out when she heard the movement, scolded Li Xing, and picked up Li Haotian in distress. Li Haotian was crying in his mother's arms, glaring at Li Xing fiercely.
