Zhang Yu handed the remaining half of the steamed bun to Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, I don't want to eat, you can eat!"

Xiaobao swallowed his saliva and shook his head, "Eldest sister, you work the most, you should eat more." ”

The six-year-old child is so sensible, and sensible that it makes people feel distressed, in the face of such a cute two younger brothers and sisters, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a heroic sense of responsibility in his heart, otherwise, find a way to make money to raise them well.

Zhang Yu stuffed the steamed bun into Xiaobao's hand, "Xiaobao, you eat!" You can rest assured, the eldest sister will definitely find a way to make our family's life better, not only to let you eat well, but also to eat well. ”

Zhang Yu's determined tone infected Xiaobao, Xiaobao was still a child after all, he believed Zhang Yu's words, he hesitated to pick up the steamed bun and take a bite carefully.

Zhang Yu said to Er Niu in a more affirmative tone: "Er Niu, you also eat, you and Xiaobao go to school well, don't worry about the lack of food at home, I will find a way to make you have enough to eat."

Zhang Yu's words obviously made Erniu a little relieved.

Since the death of her grandfather, the eldest sister has been worried.

Erniu knew that the eldest sister was under a lot of pressure, and even when the eldest sister said that she was not feeling well, Erniu was very afraid that the eldest sister would be as sick as her grandfather, and now she saw that the eldest sister was in good health, and even suddenly became strong and said such sonorous words, although Erniu didn't know what the eldest sister would come up with to make their family better, but these words were more or less a comfort to them.

At least, the eldest sister's current state is more reassuring than the previous six gods without masters, and the appearance of Ai Ai in the period of time makes them feel at ease.

After eating, Er Niu and Xiaobao carried a bamboo basket to hunt pigweed.

Zhang Yu was in a daze at home.

Although she said the big words, she couldn't think of what she should do for a while to live a good life at home.

Zhang Yu was an only child before, and her parents were both policemen, although they were busy with work and didn't care about her, but since she was a child, she had no worries about food and clothing.

She has no siblings, and she has no responsibilities and experience as an older sister, but her parents have not cared about her since she was a child, she was brought up by her grandmother who retired from a primary school teacher, her grandmother is different from other old people, she is not used to her at all, and her grandmother has cultivated Zhang Yu's habit of self-improvement and self-reliance since she was a child.

Therefore, Zhang Yu is self-disciplined and independent in both study and life.

It's a pity that her grandmother died when Zhang Yu was a sophomore, and she didn't have time to enjoy her granddaughter's return.

Zhang Yu looked at the three dilapidated adobe houses here, there was nothing of value in them, and there were only two bowls of rice, five eggs, a few potatoes, and a few sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

If you let it go, it will only be enough to eat for three or four days.

There was a piglet of more than 20 pounds in the pigsty in the yard, and there were three hens in the chicken coop next to it.

I'm afraid that in this family, the most valuable thing is this pig and these three **!

Seeing that the family is about to run out of food, the top priority now is how to get food so that the family can have enough to eat.

In this era, in the countryside, food is self-sufficient, and the family's rice will not be harvested until another month, and there is no other solution except to borrow.

But a month ago, my grandfather was sick, and he owed a famine of more than 80 yuan, and it may be difficult to borrow food again, not to mention that this season, other people's food reserves are probably not much.

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about how to solve the current predicament at home, the sound of cars and noisy people sounded at the door of his house.

In this era, cars are a rarity, Zhang Yu curiously pushed the door out, and saw a jeep parked at the door, and many villagers were watching.

A young man got out of the car and helped an old man down, they were well-dressed and looked like they were from the city.

Zhang Yu watched them walk towards her in a daze.

The old man smiled at Zhang Yu and said, "Big girl, this is my grandson, Zhao Chunhua."

In the midst of the lightning, Zhang Yu reacted, this is Zhao Jianbin , the comrade-in-arms of the original owner's grandfather, and his grandson Zhao Chunhua.

They heard the news of Zhang Daniu's grandfather's death, so they rushed here.

Zhang Yu hurriedly greeted warmly with a smile, "Oh! It turned out to be Grandpa Zhao! Come in. ”

Zhang Yu inadvertently looked at the last well-defined face, and there was curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.

Zhang Yu welcomed the grandfather and grandson of the Zhao family into the house, she found a rag to wipe the stool, and let them sit in the courtyard.

There is no hot water at home, and Zhang Yu does not know how to burn a firewood stove.

Just as she was about to try to light the firewood and boil the water, Zhao Jianbin stopped her.

"Big girl, don't be busy, we're not thirsty, you come here, I have something to say."

Zhang Yu could only sit in front of Zhao Jianbin .

"Big girl, I received your letter yesterday, and I learned that your grandfather is gone, hey! I didn't see him for the last time. ”

The details in real life are different from those in the book, but the book does not say that Zhang Daniu wrote a letter to tell the Zhao family's grandfather about his death.

Zhao Jianbin sighed, "Actually, a month ago, I received a letter from your grandfather, saying that he felt that his body was getting worse and worse, and that if he left one day, he wanted to entrust the three of you sisters and brothers to us to take care of." Hey, I should have come to see him, who knew he would leave in such a hurry that he didn't even see him for the last time. ”

Zhao Chunhua on the side explained, "Grandpa originally planned to come early, but during this time, his health was not good, so he never came, but I didn't expect Grandpa Zhang to ......"

Zhang Yu knew Zhao Jianbin's feelings for Grandpa Zhang, and she was relieved: "No one thought that my grandfather would go so fast, you can come now, my grandfather knows underground and is content."

There are many people who go to tea and cool, and people like Grandpa Zhao's family are already commendable.

"Big girl, your grandfather entrusted us before his death, in case he leaves, let us take care of your three sisters and brothers, you pack up and go to the southern city of the provincial capital with us!"

Zhang Yu thought, if she wants to be self-reliant and self-reliant, under such harsh conditions, it may be difficult to rely on her alone, and if someone helps her at this time, it is naturally the best.

What's more, she doesn't know anything about farming, and she can't even burn a firewood stove, so she can support her two younger siblings by farming in the countryside, she has no chance of winning, if the Zhao family can bring the three of them to the city, plus their help, she believes that she can make a good life for herself and her younger siblings.

However, Zhang Yu still humbly said: "How can you be embarrassed to trouble Grandpa Zhao!"

"You kid, why are you polite to me? This is what your grandfather entrusted me, do you want me to lose my trust to your grandfather? Later, when I went underground, how could I explain to him? ”

"Don't worry! Grandpa Zhao, I can take care of my younger siblings. As long as the three of us siblings are doing well, grandpa won't blame you. ”
