Chapter 36: Old Man Jin
Yao Yongbo thought that maybe someone would be willing to adopt the child, but he didn't expect that it was the old man Jin who came over and proposed to have the child.
The surname of Old Man Jin is also very special, it is said that the ancestor was once a famous person, once prominent, but unfortunately those are already the history that cannot be recovered.
Old man Jin had a daughter-in-law and children before, but later several villages fell ill at one time, and his two sons and daughter-in-law both fell ill and died, leaving Old Man Jin himself.
He did not marry any more wives and children, but built himself a wooden house halfway up the mountain, and lived there.
Although Old Man Jin doesn't have any great skills, he has a good carpenter's job.
Not only Huaihe Village, but even some villages far away who want to make a cage or make a coffee table or chair come to him.
Of course, you can't let him work in vain, and most of them also send some eggs, rice, flour, grain and oil.
It's just that Old Man Jin has a very strange temper, and he doesn't take any work from people who don't like him, anyway, he is an old widower by himself now, and he has no shortage of food and drink.
Yao Yongbo didn't expect Old Man Jin to take the initiative to find him.
"You...... It's not easy to live on your own, and raising a child is not a trivial matter......"
Yao Yongbo looked at Old Man Jin with some hesitation.
He really thinks that Old Man Jin is not a suitable family to raise children, how can he raise such a young child by himself.
It's a child, not a wooden stake.
Old man Jin's face was full of scruffy beard, and his hair was a little messy, and when he heard this, he scratched his head, and his hair suddenly looked more like a messy chicken nest.
"Why are you so hard to talk, you kid! Didn't your loudspeaker say that you can feed this child, why, do you think my old man can't afford it! Old man Jin's tone sounded a little bad.
Yao Yongbo hurriedly waved his hand: "You misunderstood, of course I didn't mean that...... It's a good thing that you want to raise a child, but isn't this child too small, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it......"
"My two sons are gone, but I also took care of them when they were young, so I can't parry them!" Old man Jin said stiffly, "Anyway, I came first, this child must belong to me!" ”
Yao Yongbo was a little helpless.
This man is really too disobedient.
"Uncle Kim......"
Old man Jin's rough palm slapped on the table, and his eyebrows stood up coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, how can a big man be so grinding, I can raise this child and can afford it, to ensure that he is white and fat, if you don't believe it, otherwise follow me to live and see if I can raise it well!" ”
Yao Yongbo knew that Old Man Jin should have some money, plus he still had skills, and it was not a big problem to raise himself plus a child.
But he was just worried that Old Man Jin was not young after all, and now he was in his fifties and almost sixty, and he suddenly raised a child......
Alas, but looking at the spirit of Old Man Jin and this full of energy, it seems to be ...... Question, should ...... Probably not too much...... Right?
Yao Yongbo felt that his mind was really fighting between heaven and man now.
At this time, Jiang Yunlan came out of the house and said with a smile: "Uncle Jin, this child is still young, even if you want to raise him, you are not in a hurry for a day or two, not to mention that the loudspeaker broadcasts have been broadcast, in case there are other people who want to raise him, then you have to give the child a chance to choose!" ”
Hearing Jiang Yunlan's words, Old Man Jin restrained the impatient expression on his face a little.
"But I'm the first ......"
"Look at what you said, let's raise children, and we don't have to give birth to children," Jiang Yunlan said, "Let's see if there are any others who want to raise them today, if there is, you will compete with others, if not...... You can take the kid away, it's always okay! ”
Jiang Yunlan is such a female comrade, Old Man Jin's strange temper has still been restrained a lot, and he said a few words: "Okay, okay, then let's do it, I'll wait for another half a day." ”
Old Man Jin stomped his feet and stood up, before leaving Yao's house.
Yao Yongbo rubbed the corners of his forehead, feeling so sore.
"Tell me why this old man suddenly remembered to raise a child now......
Old man Jin's son and daughter-in-law have been gone for many years, and Yao Yongbo's previous village chief once wanted to marry another daughter-in-law for old man Jin's Zhang Luo.
After all, Old Man Jin was not old at that time, only in his forties, but Old Man Jin was very stubborn, and he insisted on not letting go.
Since you don't marry a daughter-in-law, it's also a good idea to adopt a child and send yourself to the end of your life.
It's a pity that Old Man Jin still didn't let go.
After a long time, no one wants to care about his idle business, and the feeling of a hot face against a cold ass is not comfortable.
But now the old man Jin has changed his sex.
Jiang Yunlan said: "No matter what his reason is, you have already released this word, and you can't fail to honor it." If there are other people who want to support this child, if there is no one else, you can only give the child to Old Man Jin. Otherwise...... It was sent to the police station. ”
Nothing else.
Yao Yongbo scratched his head and said helplessly: "Look at it, it's really not good to raise Old Man Jin, I think Old Man Jin won't let this child lack food and drink." ”
Old man Jin shook his head and came out of the village committee, and went to Ling's house instead of returning to his house.
At this time, the Ling family twins were digging a soil pit in the yard, preparing to roast two sweet potatoes to eat.
The small stove is too small, and the roasted sweet potatoes are not as delicious as those made by this specially dug fire pit.
The main thing is also idle.
At this time, Xiao Ling Long and Xiao Wu were all asleep, and Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang didn't allow these children to stay in front of their sister while they were sleeping, and they didn't want to go out, so they could only do something by themselves.
Fortunately, there are a lot of sweet potatoes at home, so dig a pit in the yard and roast sweet potatoes.
It's as simple as digging a pit in the open space, putting a small firewood fire on top and spreading a layer of dry leaves.
Light the leaves first, wait for the leaves to lead the small firewood, and when the heat is almost there, just throw the sweet potatoes into it.
When the sweet potatoes are half-baked, the aroma spreads, and the smell is very attractive.
Old man Jin walked in with a smile:
"It's better to come early than to come early, this sweet potato has to meet and divide half!"
I was a little surprised to see Old Man Jin's children, but they quickly surrounded them.
"Grandpa Kim!"
"Why did Grandpa Jin go down the mountain!"
"Is there something wrong?"
The Ling brothers all like to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and pick up some firewood or something, and they can often meet Old Man Jin, and the relationship is getting better and better over time.
Old man Jin didn't often come down from the mountain, so a few children couldn't wait to come around.
