Chapter 98: It's Not Easy

Granny Tian glanced at the sack that was towering behind Gu Shinian, and smiled knowingly, "Okay, then it's troublesome little comrade." ”

More than ten minutes later, several people stood in front of Granny Tian's house.

The dimly lit yellow mud house, with walls less than two meters high, was roofed with a layer of tattered tarpaulin, on which a straw curtain was pressed with a few wooden sticks.

It's a standard thatched house.

Built against the backdrop of the three-story building of the Joint Defense Force, this thatched hut is less than five square meters compared to the spacious and bright blue brick buildings of the Joint Defense Force, and the thatched hut has to be lowered to get in and out, it is difficult to turn around, and the thatched hut is like a dog kennel.

But this kennel is the shelter of Granny Tian.

Gu Shinian helped Granny Tian move things in, and gave Granny Tian more than 20 catties of white noodles in his basket in.

Granny Tian didn't shirk either, took the sack, put it directly into the big vat in the corner, walked to the head of the bed again, took out the heavy old book at the foot of the bed, and took out a bracelet wrapped in muslin from it and threw it to Gu Shinian.

"This bracelet is good, a box of jade ornaments that can be worth the previous transaction, you don't suffer a loss even if you make up for my fifty catties of food stamps."

Gu Shinian was startled, and hurriedly caught the bracelet that almost fell to the ground.

Very pure and rich green, facing the light at the door, you can clearly see the green filament suspended in the bracelet.

Gu Shinian was a knowledgeable person, so after only one glance, he turned back to Yunshang and said, "Ah Shang, give this comrade another fifty catties of national food stamps." ”

Yunshang was curiously looking at the old book in Granny Tian's hand, wondering how this bracelet was stuffed into the book.

At this time, I handed the food stamps to Granny Tian, and only then did I see the situation in the book clearly.

It turned out that Granny Tian dug a circular hole in the book according to the size of the bracelet, put the bracelet in it, and then closed the book, and there was nothing unusual outside.

I guess who wouldn't have thought that this dirty and broken old book, which can only be used to pad the foot of the bed, actually hides treasures in it.

The reason why Gu Shinian followed Granny Tian over was to exchange a few pieces of fine jade for Yunsheng, and Granny Tian also saw Gu Shinian's purpose and knew that he was a knowledgeable person, so she simply took out the best one in her hand and made a deal with the two.

And both sides are satisfied with the price, and neither of them owes anyone favors.

Outside, the north wind was blowing, and through the cracks in the walls, a small breeze was blowing inside the house.

Granny Tian's house has no stove, even the small mud stove is clean, there is no trace of fire, and there is no furnace ash underneath, making the whole house more dilapidated and deserted, without a trace of fireworks.

The sound of someone getting up to wash up came from the building behind one after another, and Granny Tian put the old book back at the foot of the bed and waved her hand at the two, "Okay!" I don't have a stove here, your sister is still a little girl's house, I can't stand the cold, let's go quickly. ”

Granny Tian is not good, and she is a little inexplicably evil. Gu Shinian didn't mean to deal with her, but when he saw that it was bright outside, he hurriedly picked up the charcoal basket, pulled Yunshang to say goodbye to Granny Tian and left.

On the way, Yunshang thought about Granny Tian's thatched hut that was colder inside than outside, and her mood was not good, nor was it bad, but there was an inexplicable depression in her heart, and she couldn't go up or down.

She really doesn't have a good sense of Granny Tian, it can be seen that she is a lot old, living alone in a thatched house, and there is always a little bit of anxiety in her heart.

Gu Shinian could probably guess a little bit of Yunsheng's thoughts, hugged her all the way, and took the initiative to talk about Granny Tian.

"Ah Shang, this Granny Tian is not simple, don't be deceived by her thatched hut that doesn't fire and doesn't live in people."

Yun Sheng was stunned, "Second Brother Gu, you mean...... Granny Tian doesn't eat or live there? ”

"It should be." Gu Shinian pondered for a while, "There is a thin layer of ash on the quilt at the head of Granny Tian's bed, and there is also ash on the clay pot on the stove, but the stove is brand new, and there is no trace of being burned by firewood or charcoal, which shows that Granny Tian has another place to stay." ”

Yunshang didn't expect the situation to be like this, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she was stunned for a while, lying on Gu Shinian's neck and listening to him continue to speak.

"In this era, those who can be divided into big capitalists are the best families in the city. A background like Granny Tian, even if she is down, she will have a back hand, and she will not suffer in food and clothing.

The light was not good just now, you may not have noticed that although Granny Natian's body is thin, her face is healthier than most people on the street, and the padded jacket on her body should also be pressed with new cotton. Now, except for the fact that the work is not as good as the accident, Granny Tian's life is more comfortable than most people in the city. ”

Gu Shinian's words are really not nonsense, the bracelet that Granny Tian gave just now is a very pure imperial green in color, how can it be a simple person to leave such an object in the liquidation.

Yunshang was even more deflated, feeling that her big eyes were white, and she was not allowed to look at people at all.

Gu Shinian couldn't see Yunshang's depressed little appearance, so he changed the topic and asked her, "Ah Shang, what do you want to eat for breakfast?" ”

"Tofu brain!"

As soon as she talked about eating, Yunshang immediately came to her senses, thinking of the smooth and tender tofu brain in the state-run restaurant, and then pouring the fragrant marinade, her saliva was about to drip out.

She had never eaten tofu brain with such a rich condiment before, and after tasting it in Gu Shinian's bowl last time, she immediately became addicted to it, thinking that it was the best tofu brain she had ever tasted.

With this small request, Gu Shinian would naturally meet her, and asked Yunshang to prepare a lunch box and prepare to buy a few more copies for her to take back.

There is a state-run restaurant near the train station, and when the two of them passed, there were already two tables of guests with large bags and small bags ready to catch the train.

Gu Shinian put down Yunsheng, bought two servings of tofu brain at the counter, and listened to the chatter of the guests at the two tables while eating.

And Yunsheng's mind was all about eating, first tasted a bite of tofu brain, and found that the taste was similar to that of another store, so he quickly took out the lunch box that had been prepared early in the morning and put it in Gu Shinian's hand, and then ate it without raising his head.

There is a stove near the door of the restaurant, on which a large pot is placed, and on the grate in the pot is a rich sauce of lo mein, as the stove heats, a white mist rises on the side of the pot, and the taste of lo mein floats out of the restaurant with the mist, and then drifts out with the wind.

On the side of the road at the entrance of the hotel sat a skinny child with a vegetable face, smelling the tempting aroma of lo mein, staring at the cauldron of lo mein in the restaurant, and swallowing saliva.

The waitress took out two pairs of long chopsticks from the counter, walked to the stove, grasped the chopsticks with both hands, and tossed the noodles from the bottom up.

The flavor of the noodles is even stronger.
