Moreover, even if there is a small yellow croaker at home, if there is no way, they dare not take it out and spend it, and if they are discovered, they can kill the whole family.

Therefore, even if their family is having a hard time, they can't open the pot, and the old lady doesn't dare to take out the little yellow croaker.

Especially when she and the old man are old, there is only a few years old grandson at home, and they can't keep these little yellow croakers at all, and they will cause trouble.

But now, the old man is gone, she is also leaving, the most valuable thing in the family is this box of little yellow croaker, she wants to entrust her grandson to Yun Qinghuan to take care of, she can't leave nothing to others and let people take care of it in vain.

In this era, how precious food is, more precious than money, where can you ask others to help raise small stones for several years without relatives and no reason?

Even if you are related to the family, you can't avoid it.

"Qinghuan, I gave you this box of little yellow croaker, in the future, can you help me take care of our little stones? You don't have to take too much care of him, he can work and cook, you just need to help him pay for school, if there is no food, just help me take care of him until he is a teenager, a boy in the countryside, he can stand on his own at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and at that time, he doesn't need to worry about anyone. ”

Yun Qinghuan took a cursory look, there were about twenty or thirty small yellow croakers in this box, and at the exchange rate of this era, it could be exchanged for at least three or four hundred yuan, which was more than enough to raise a rural child for seven or eight years.

She hurriedly waved her hand, "Auntie, I can't ask for this little yellow fish, it's too precious, you can leave these to the little stone, and he will need money for everything when he grows up in the future." ”

It's October of '76 now, and it's only a year before the college entrance examination resumes, and it's not far from the reform and opening up.

The old lady obviously didn't expect her grandson to be admitted to college, after all, now that the college entrance examination is gone, she just wants her grandson to read more books, not to be bullied, and to get married and have children when she reaches the age.

Although the old lady was thin, her hands were very strong, and she pushed the box to prevent her from returning it, "Good boy, if you don't accept this box, I won't be able to close my eyes." ”

Xiao Shi also said beside him, "Auntie, you can take it." ”

He wiped his tears as he spoke, "You're just like my own mother." ”

Both of them said so, Yun Qinghuan had no choice but to accept it.

But in her heart, she thought that she would definitely not take this box of things for herself, and when the little stone grew up and was not so strict, she would return these things to the child and leave them for him.

No matter what era it is, gold does not say that it appreciates, but at least it retains its value.

It's just that in this era, having gold at home is not necessarily a blessing.

I didn't look at the old ladies and daughters-in-law in the village, and they didn't even dare to bring gold jewelry, at most a silver bracelet.

Silver in this era is even less valuable.

Seeing that she accepted it, the old lady was obviously relieved, and her face, which had been a little energetic, suddenly turned a little gray.

She stood up again and wanted to lie down on the bed, "I'm with the old man." ”

Xiao Shi's face turned white, and he pulled her, not wanting her to lie down with her dead grandfather, but the old lady was persistent, and touched Xiao Shi's face with a smile, "Xiao Shi, don't be sad, grandma is happy to have your grandfather with her on this road." ”

After all, she still lay down, and the old lady leaned against the old man, closed her eyes, smiled kindly, and babbled to the little stone.

The sound grew quieter and quieter until it was gone.

Xiao Shi looked at it in a daze, and Yun Qinghuan was next to him, without urging.

For a long time, Xiao Shi's body was stiff because he had stood for too long, he staggered forward, touched the tip of the old lady's nose, and then sat on the ground, looking at Yun Qinghuan helplessly, "Auntie, am I going to hold a funeral for my grandparents next?" ”

He is still young, only six or seven years old, where does he understand the process of running a funeral.

Yun Qinghuan glanced at the two old men lying on the bed, the corners of his lips were smiling, snuggling tightly, and he could see that it was not painful to leave.

She stepped forward, hugged the little stone, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, my aunt will bury your grandparents with you." ”

Yun Qinghuan didn't dare to take the box of little yellow croaker home, but discussed with Bai Naihan and buried it under the big locust tree next to Xiaoshi's house at night, and didn't let Xiaoshi know.

Naturally, the less people know about this, the better.

As for Little Stone, she brought the person home and let him live in the same room with An'an.

It just so happened that someone also slept with An An.

An An obviously likes Xiaoshi very much, and does not avert sleeping with him.

Liu Yuzhi knew about Grandma Xiaoshi's support before she died, and sighed, "Xiaoshi's child is pitiful, so he is raised in our family, and it is just a matter of adding more chopsticks." ”

To put it simply, in fact, it is too difficult to raise an extra child in this era.

Liu Yuzhi also smiled and said, "It just so happens that Xiaoshi, this kid is diligent, and he is good at sweeping the floor and feeding the chickens, so I can be more relaxed in the future." ”

She said this, but Xiaoshi really had to help her work every day, and she was not happy, so let Xiaoshi study hard and have a great future in the future.

Of course, that's all for later.

Now in the past few days, Yun Qinghuan's family has been very busy, helping Xiaoshi deal with the funeral of his grandparents.

The two old men had a good relationship, so they directly ordered a large coffin from Bai Aimin and buried the two old men together.

The funeral was also very simple, and the villagers who had helped Xiaoshi's family before were directly invited to have a meal, and the money was confiscated, which was regarded as a thank you for their previous care for Xiaoshi.

Although the funeral was simple, after a few days, Yun Qinghuan was not lightly tired.

When he was done, he sat down in his chair and was too lazy to move.

Who knew that the little stone knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed to her, "Auntie, I will definitely not forget your great kindness, and I will give you a pension in the future!" ”

His eyes were resolute.

Next to him, An An, who was sitting on a chair and playing, was not happy when she heard this, so she stood up directly and said loudly, "My mother should be my old age, and it is not your turn to be Brother Shi!" ”

Yun Qinghuan: "......"

I had a headache, and I felt that she was already seventy or eighty, waiting for the child to bury her.

It's quite impressive.

He stepped forward and erected the small stone, "You kid, who did you learn these words from?" Rest assured, my aunt is still young, and there are still many years before the end of the pension, and your task now is to grow up well, study hard, and let your grandparents watch in the sky, you are very promising, and you have lived up to their expectations. ”

Little Stone stood up, a smile on his face.

It was the first time he had laughed in a few days.

"Auntie, I know, I'm sure I won't let you and grandparents down."

In the evening, Xiaoshi sensibly wants to go to the kitchen to help break vegetables, help fetch water, help sweep the floor, and help serve vegetables.

In short, I rush to do all the work.

The sensible one is distressing.
