Ye Xingrong looked at the lonely old man in front of him, so thin, his waist was hunchbacked!

Usually they don't have time at home, and they can't take care of their children.

There are many lonely and widowed old people in the village, and there are no children or daughters at this age, and they can't count them on ten fingers with such a hard life!

Some did not marry a daughter-in-law, while others did not give birth to a son and died of their wife.

What's more, in those decades of revolution, young children died and became poor lonely old people.

Some lonely old people, even if they gave birth to daughters, but those who did not give birth to sons, followed their daughters to live in their sons-in-law's homes!

In this way, the work of village cadres can be carried out a little better.

The village is so big that since the days when the Japanese came to fight, there are also turrets here, and then *****.

In that era, a lot of people died, and in the end, when it came to the grain gate, many people starved to death.

It is also because there is a lot of land here and a lot of mountains here, which also feeds a lot of people in this village.

Even if there is no food to eat, no porridge to eat, wild vegetables, and tree roots, many people are fed.

Ye Xingrong looked at the old man in front of him, he felt that these should all have to entertain guests, so they must buy vegetables.

If you go out to buy vegetables, you might as well buy vegetables here, and you can also help people, and eat the poultry raised by the villagers in your hometown, which is better than buying outside.

"Uncle, let me go in and take a look at your chickens and ducks, if I can, I want to buy a few more chickens and ducks."

The lonely old man was very happy in his heart, and if he could sell a few chickens and ducks, he would have money to buy meat to eat, as well as oil and salt.

The lonely old man is also an honest person, watching this person buy so many chickens and ducks.

Guess this young man wouldn't buy so much to help himself, right?

Although he is a poor person, he doesn't want others to buy more chickens and ducks to help him, and he doesn't know if he will give them to his family when he goes back.

"Hou Shengzi, you just need to buy enough for yourself to eat, don't buy too much to help me, put it at home, your house also has some, and the uneaten chickens and ducks are not easy to raise at home!"

Ye Xingrong looked at the lonely old man in front of him, such a good heart!

Why did Shang treat him like this, let him become a lonely old man, lonely and lonely all these years!

Ye Xingrong could only tell the truth, and he didn't want this old man to have a burden in his heart.

"Uncle, don't worry, there are a lot of guests in my house, I may have to cook a big meal tonight, I still have to buy a few chickens and ducks, I still think it's not enough, after two is not enough to eat, come and buy it again."

The lonely old man looked at Ye Xingrong fixedly, wanting to see from his face and eyes if this person was lying?

The lonely old man also looked at the child's growth, and knew that the child's character was very good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken care of him like this, and he would have been able to go outside to have a career at a young age!

"Oh well! You come with me, and if you fancy any chickens and ducks, buy them and ducks! ”

Ye Xingrong nodded, followed the lonely old Rao, and entered his house.

His house is a bit like a living room, a kitchen, a room, and a utility room.

The lonely old man still raises chickens and ducks in that utility room.

Such a pattern seems to be air, right?

But that's how it is in the countryside, and some people still keep pigs at home!

This is also a stupid way to make a little more money, but there is not enough place to raise these beasts!

Ye Xingrong looked at such a simple home as a lonely old man, which was no different from his own home, and it was also so poor.

But it will be different in the future, maybe in the future, their family will be able to help move to the big house in the county seat.

For Ye Xingronglai, being able to have a house of more than 80 square meters in the county seat is already a big house.

In addition to the original residents in the villages in the county seat, other people live in the county seat and have such big houses.

Those people are all government personnel, or rich people.

This utility room is built with mud bricks, not very large, with a few chicken coops in it and a few ducks surrounded by some bamboo rows.

Ye Xingrong looked at the chicken coops of the lonely old man, in addition to the hens and chickens, there were also a few roosters in them.

The hen can continue to lay eggs and hatch chickens, and it is useless to have more roosters, and only one is left to school

In order to help the lonely and widowed elderly, it is better to catch two male **!

"Uncle, catch two roosters and two male ducks for me!"

The lonely old man was still worried just now, if this offspring caught a hen, the remaining roosters could only be sold separately, and there would be no hens to give birth to.

The lonely old man felt that this offspring was so intimate, and he felt very satisfied, looking at the big child was still different, he didn't see it wrong.

"Okay, then Uncle will catch chickens for you and ducks for you."

The lonely old man caught two chickens and tied the feet of the two chickens with straw, and when he wanted to catch the two ducks, he also tied the feet of the ducks.

Ye Xingrong saw that the two roosters and two ducks were also quite fat and big, and he didn't know what this uncle gave.

Give this chicken and duck to eat, maybe it is the fish and shrimp in the fish pond next to it to the chicken and duck, so that the chickens and ducks will grow so well.

You can also catch insects for it to eat, so that chickens and ducks can also grow well.

The lonely old man weighed two chickens and two ducks with a scale, and the two chickens added up to six catties, and the two ducks were a little bigger, adding up to eight catties.

Ye Xingrong estimated that the chicken and duck were about 30 yuan, which was also more than two yuan a catty, and he took out a few ten-yuan coins from his pocket.

At this time, the renminbi was still ten yuan, which was the largest, and ten yuan at this time was equal to 100 yuan, and a civil servant's monthly salary was only more than 200 yuan.

This is already more wages after the reform and opening up in the past few years, and the previous wages are even less.

Ye Xingrong counted out five of the ten yuan, and these money were in addition to the money for chickens and ducks.

The rest was taken as his filial piety to the old man, and he handed the money to the lonely old man.

When the lonely old man saw the money in front of him, he was a little excited, and his hands were a little shaky, but now his hands were even more shaky.

The trembling hand took the money, and the hand was also shaking to count the money, and when he found that there was too much money, his hand paused, and he had an honest conscience, facing the offspring in front of him.

"Much more, 20 yuan more."

Ye Xingrong smiled at the lonely old man: "If you have more, you should be filial to you, uncle, usually I am often not at home, and I have never honored my uncle well!" ”

There were tears in the excited eyes of the lonely old man, he was a man with no children and no daughters, and he couldn't imagine that there was still someone who honored him, so his lonely heart was excited and happy.

"Thank you so much, Uncle also knows that you are a very kind person, you are usually busy with work, and you are not at home, so you have to take good care of yourself."

Ye Xingrong nodded: "Uncle, we may come back less in the future, our family is going to move to the county seat, and we may see you in the future, only for the New Year." ”

When the lonely old man heard this, he laughed happily, and his thin and fleshless face had a lot of wrinkles when he laughed.

I don't have many teeth when I laugh, and my eyes are even more slit.

"Congratulations, Hou Shengzi, it seems that your family is developed again, and you have to take good care of your family outside, your family must take care of yourself, and you must come back often, you know?"

Ye Xingrong nodded: "Okay, I will come back often when I have time, I may have to start a business during this period of time, I will be very busy, I don't have time to come back, uncle, you also have to take care, take good care of yourself, don't be reluctant to eat, don't be reluctant to use." ”
