Chapter 2 Gratitude and Kindness

"Brother Zong, it's time to eat!"

The crisp children's voice sounded at the door, and a little girl of seven or eight years old came out, clean and clean, with her hair tied in pigtails, handsome, very polite, well-behaved and cute!

The little girl's name is Yun'er, not Xue Zong's own sister, but her cousin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The relatives of my grandmother's mother's family didn't know what had happened, so they fostered Yun'er in the Xue family, and although the family was poor, the old grandmother still gladly accepted it. It seems that he is worried that his grandson will not be able to marry, so he is raised by his granddaughter-in-law.

Thinking of this stubble, Xue Zong suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, the old grandmother has a really big heart, is this a child daughter-in-law or a Lori raising?

Count with your fingers.,Lori takes too long to cultivate.,I'm afraid I can't wait!

Xue Zong didn't have time to think about it anymore, and was pulled out of the door by Yun'er, and in the hall, the old grandmother had already prepared dinner.

It was only at this time that Xue Zong intuitively realized the extent of the Xue family's poverty.

Three old houses with a good yard in front of the door and that's it. The furnishings in the hall were extremely simple and crude, with a broken wooden table and a few historic seats, empty.

On the side of the wall is an embroidery stand with ornate silk embroidered with elaborate patterns, but it is not yet finished.

That is the Xue family's source of survival, the old grandmother Xue Meng's embroidery skills are very good, in order to supplement the family, after the death of his father Meng Pengju, it has become the main source of income for the Xue family.

It's not easy for an old grandmother!

Xue Zong sighed secretly in his heart, he was close to the age of the sixtieth birthday, and his eyes were definitely not as good as before, but he had to embroider with needles and threads. An old lady doing a young woman's work is really hard.

Looking at the wooden table, there are several coarse porcelain bowls and plates, rice porridge, dough cakes, and simple side dishes, the Xue family's meals are very simple, and they are also a side reflection of the constraints.

"Zong'er, are you better?"

"Much better, grandmother rest assured!"

"That's good, sit down and eat!" Xue Meng's eyes were full of concern and love.

An old woman who is close to the age of six, her husband and son have died, and she is only guarding a grandson to depend on her life.

Fortunately, God had mercy, and his grandson came back to life, safe and sound, and Xue Mengshi was both happy and afraid.

Xue Zong's heart warmed, he was alone in his previous life, where did he feel the care and warmth of such relatives? I have never felt like such a home, even if the members are sparse and fragmented.

At the same time, he is also clearly aware of his importance to this family, he is the reliance and all the hope of Xue Meng and Yun'er.

Under the greeting of his grandmother, Xue Zong sat down and moved his chopsticks, and the taste of the food could only be said to be average!

The work in his previous life was quite special, and Xue Zong, who was a person who had eaten, drunk and had fun, had eaten too many delicacies, and the taste of these things in front of him was far inferior.

Personal cooking skills are on the one hand, but more related to the backwardness of cooking technology, and stir-fry seems to have just emerged in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But now I am hungry, and it is my grandmother's love, and I eat sweetly. Especially after the dough cake was bitten open, Xue Zong was surprised to find that it was actually filled with meat.

Xue Mengshi said with a smile: "This is sent by Granny Cao at the entrance of the alley, knowing that you choked on water today, when you came to visit, I specially sent you something delicious." ā€

I see, it turns out that this meatloaf still has the love of the neighbors.

When the family was eating, there was a shout at the door, and then a middle-aged uncle appeared at the door and said with a smile: "Yo, where is the meal?" ā€

Xue Zong immediately reacted in his mind, this person's surname was Ding, he was a butcher, and he opened a butcher shop in the market near the state bridge.

"Uncle Ding!" Xue Zong hurriedly said hello.

"Brother Zong'er, is your body okay?"

"Uncle Laudine is concerned, it's okay."

"It's good to watch, Brother Zong'er has a lot of words today." Butcher Ding seemed to notice the change that Xue Zong was no longer sluggish, and said with a smile: "Whether you are frightened by falling into the water, you still have to recuperate for a few days."

There are some bones left today, I brought them back, Aunt Xue, you take the soup and let Brother Zong make up for it. ā€

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of mutton bone, with a lot of mutton on it. Obviously, the bones may be leftover, but the meat was specially given by the butcher Ding.

"Thank you, Uncle Ding, for letting you break the bank again." Xue Mengshi stepped forward and thanked him repeatedly, he was very grateful, his grandson was growing up, how could he do if he didn't see meat? The family is strapped for money, and it is really stretched.

"Where, thanks to Brother Peng Ju in the past, otherwise where would my butcher shop still be open? Now that Brother Pengju is gone, take care of you and Brother Zong'er more. It can be seen that Ding Butcher is a warm-hearted person, and he received the favor of his father Xue Pengju in his early years, and now he can be regarded as a grateful retribution.

Here the butcher said goodbye and left, Yun'er looked at the fleshy mutton bone and began to lick her lips, obviously the little guy was greedy.

Xue Zong smiled and said, "Don't worry, let my grandmother stew for you early tomorrow morning!" ā€

"Hmm!" Yun'er just nodded, and then shook her head again and said, "No, Brother Zong's illness eats to make up for his body." ā€

Hey, at a young age, I still know how to care about people, I'm really sensible!

While he was talking, someone came to the door again, but he was a half-grown child, slightly younger than Xue Zong, half a year younger, standing at the door with this basket, and said with a smile: "Granny Xue, Brother Zong, my father and mother asked me to send some hawthorn to give Brother Zong and Yun'er a spleen appetizer." ā€

Children are prone to food accumulation, and in the era when there are no stomach digesting tablets, hawthorn is undoubtedly an appetizing good thing.

Xue Mengshi stepped forward and said, "There is Brother Lao Bing, but there are too many hawthorns here, and Zong'er and Yun'er can't eat so much." ā€

Brother Bing'er was also real, and said with a depressed face: "Don't hide it from Granny Xue, last year, in the autumn and winter, there was a lady from a big family who had a body, liked to eat sour fruits, and sent a servant to my house to buy, and asked for a lot of catties, but when my father came back, that lady had an unfortunate miscarriage, and naturally no one wanted this hawthorn."

There is a lot of backlog in the shop, and I see that this year's hawthorn trees are blooming, and they will be broken if they can't be sold, so I brought more to Brother Zong and Yun'er. ā€

After Brother Bing left, Xue Zongcai heard from his grandmother that his family's surname was Liu, and he ran a fruit shop that sold some dried fruits and seasonal fruits, known as Guozi Liu.

It is not easy to do a small business, but it is not a coincidence, and it seems that I am afraid to lose a lot in this single hawthorn business.

After Xue Mengshi put down the basket, he said leisurely: "It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, which is not bad at all, thanks to the help of these neighbors over the years." In the early years, when it was difficult, you can say that you grew up eating hundreds of meals.

Today you fell overboard, and thanks to the help of your neighbors, you were sent back to the pier. All families came to visit, this meatloaf, hawthorn and mutton bones are all sent by neighbors, just when you were sent back, Mr. Qiu from the pharmacy also came to visit, saying that you are okay with me to rest assured. ā€

"The neighbors are really warm-hearted!" Xue Zong's past memories are not to be mentioned, just talking about today's half a day, I have a deep understanding.

"Yes! The people of Wuliu Lane all moved from other places in the early years, and many of them have been friends for several lifetimes, and they all help each other over. ā€

Xue Mengshi said: "In the early years, they were bullied by local ruffians in business, your father was in the army, and he also helped them, everyone remembered each other's kindness, and now it is very helpful to us." Zong'er, when you learn about Entu, you don't have to forget, you have to remember the good of others. ā€

"That's nature, grandson remembers!" The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, since the previous life, this is the principle of Xue Zong's life.

The neighbors of Wuliu Lane do not necessarily have the indifference of Mr. Wuliu Tao Yuanming, but they have the benevolence and simple kindness of Meng Weijun, which is really rare!

When he met such a group of neighbors, Xue Zong felt very lucky. They are kind to the Xue family and to themselves, so they naturally have to keep it in mind and find an opportunity to repay it.

Compared with the unsalable hawthorn problem of the Liu family, we have to find a way to help them solve it as soon as possible!
