Chapter 231, the suddenly generous old lady
As for what Brother Dao was looking for himself, although Yang Xiaole didn't know, he still agreed.
But I didn't say exactly when I would see you.
"Hey, Qiao Yan, have you bought food at home?"
Yang Xiaole thought that it was so difficult to buy food now, so he asked.
Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "There are still some at home, enough to eat for many days, I have been going to the grain store every day to keep an eye on it these days!" ”
Yang Xiaole nodded, which means that he didn't buy it!
didn't speak, went out of the door, and when he came back again, he put a bag on the ground: "Take this, there is some white flour and cornmeal in it, I still have something to do and leave first!" ”
Seeing this scene, Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Thank you!"
"It's okay! Dalong, I'll go back first. ”
Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly, said hello and left.
After coming out, he rode straight to Suo Ye's house.
"Huh! The old man has changed the locks! ”
Yang Xiaole stopped the car, looked at the new lock and smiled curiously.
Originally, it was a padlock, but now it has been replaced with an inline form, and even the gate has been replaced together.
"Bang Bang Bang~~"
He slapped the door vigorously.
But after filming for a while, no one opened the door.
"Strange, where has the old man gone!"
Seeing that the old man didn't open the door, Yang Xiaole was puzzled, and guessed where he was running.
As for whether the old man is in danger, I don't feel like it.
When he saw that there were people everywhere, he extinguished the idea of going in.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the small western-style building of the Hua family in the distance, and finally prepared to go over there and ask.
Turn around and head that way.
I came here and knocked on the door for a while, but no one opened the door.
Yang Xiaole looked at the locked door and pondered there.
Today is Friday, Su Ling has to go to work, and I don't know where Hua Yourong is going to play.
Neither family was there, and he was ready to go back.
As soon as he lowered the brake, he heard movement inside, which made Yang Xiaole stop the movement in his hand.
"Crunch~"
The door opened, revealing a small flowery head.
"Little music! There you are! ”
Seeing him, Hua Yourong greeted him.
Yang Xiaole looked at her expression and wondered for a while: "What's wrong?" I don't think you're happy, is there something going on at home? ”
Because Hua Yourong's eyes are red, she should have just cried.
Hua Yourong looked inside, hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It's okay, come in, Grandpa Suo is also at home!" ”
"Oh! Suo Ye is also here! Let's go inside. ”
I thought the old man had gone!
The car pushed in, stopped in the courtyard, and waited for Hua Yourong to bolt the door, and the two entered the hall directly.
At this time, Su Ling and the old man were sitting on the sofa in the hall.
"Xiaole is here!"
Su Ling saw him show a reluctant smile and greeted him with a smile.
Yang Xiaole looked at the expressions of the three people, and they were all strange.
"Master, Auntie!"
said hello and smiled at the old man: "Master, I also said that I didn't find you when I went to the house just now!" So I'm here! ”
The old man nodded: "Come over for something, when did you come back?" ”
"I just came back today, didn't I just come here!"
Hearing this, the old man bowed his head slightly.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked at Su Ling: "Auntie, didn't you go to work today?" ”
Su Ling put the freshly brewed tea on the coffee table: "There's something wrong, I didn't go to work today, sit down and drink some water~"
"Hmm!"
Yang Xiaole agreed and sat on the sofa.
After looking at the three of them, he asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" Is something wrong? ”
Su Ling sighed there and didn't speak.
She didn't speak, Hua Yourong had already spoken: "My dad has something to do in the United States, saying that my dad went to the mountains to pan for gold and has lost contact." ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned.
"Who told you?"
Wasn't Suo Ye's second son kicked out of the United States?
Gold?
!
If the company is better, and the individual goes to pan for gold, isn't it going to die?
As long as you are a normal person, you have dreamed of getting rich.
But he had also seen some gold panning things before, and it was impossible for an individual to make a fortune from this, and it would be good to survive.
What did Hua Yourong's father go through over there, so he had to go to pan for gold.
What age is it?
Seeing this, Su Ling said: "It's the person who went with Tiantian's father, and said that it was in the mountains of California, and no one can be contacted now." He searched, but found no one. ”
There was a hint of worry on his face.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Yang Xiaole didn't know how to persuade when he saw this, let alone in the distant and unfamiliar United States, even in the mainland, once he disappeared in the mountains, it basically meant that there was no chance of survival.
Hua Yourong's father is missing, and eighty percent of them are dead.
It's just that he's too embarrassed to say it.
He looked at the old man, then at the two people, hesitated and asked, "That...... Aunt. What's next for you? ”
Su Ling shook her head: "I don't know, Tiantian's father has no news for a day, so we have to wait for him for a day." I don't believe anything could happen to him. ”
As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.
The tone was firm, as if he was giving himself psychological comfort.
And Hua Yourong next to him also cried.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaole sat there and didn't speak.
After waiting for a while, after the two of them cried, Su Ling wiped a handful of tears, showed a reluctant smile and smiled: "Let you see the joke, it's okay." ”
Seeing the expressions of the two, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, actually...... I suggest you might as well go to Hong Kong Island, where you can wait for your uncle. ”
Natural disasters are coming.
It's better to go over there.
At least with Su Ling's brother's economic strength, life over there won't be too bad.
Su Ling shook her head: "It's okay, if we leave, if Tiantian's father sends a letter, I won't be able to receive it on Hong Kong Island." ”
Yang Xiaole asked suspiciously: "How come?" Isn't there someone over there? And there's Master here! ”
"The sender of the letter is also going to be deported from the United States, which means that no one will be able to contact us from there. And ......"
Speaking of this, Su Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "And this place is too far away from Hong Kong Island, and the time for letters to go back and forth is too long." Let's take one step at a time! ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't persuade anything anymore.
Everyone has their own choices, he can help, but he has no right to help the two of them make decisions, no matter how good the relationship is.
"Hey, by the way, Xiaole, this is the key to the yard!"
In the midst of his thoughts, the old man took out a key and handed it to him!
Yang Xiaole took it strangely: "Master, why did you change the lock!" ”
The old man took a sip of tea and said: "You will go to school in a few days, I will change the door, next time you come over and open the door directly, I will not get up and leave the door for you, and in the future, the basic skills will be practiced at home, don't use it so early, just come here in the morning to practice for two hours, or if you have nothing to do after school, just come and practice." ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked at the key in his hand and nodded.
"Okay! Then I'll arrive at six o'clock, leave at eight o'clock, and just get to school before class. ”
The old man bowed his head slightly, looked at him and asked, "Where have you been these days?" I came back so late. ”
"Oh, out of the country."
Yang Xiaole made a joke half-truthfully.
Hearing this, the old man didn't bother to take care of him, and gave him an angry look: "It's not a horse or a donkey all day long, and it doesn't matter." ”
Yang Xiaole also replied to the same one.
True and false.
Looking at the mother and daughter who were there in a daze, Yang Xiaole also sighed.
After thinking about it, it was not appropriate for me to stay here, so I stood up and went outside to get something and came in: "Master, Auntie, this is a bit of meat, you look at it, it's divided, if it's not enough, I'll get you some more, I'll go back first!" ”
It is estimated that the two of them did not take out the food for the time being, after all, Su Ling has overseas Chinese remittance coupons.
However, Hua Yourong's father is missing, and it is difficult to say whether there will be overseas Chinese remittance coupons in the future.
It should be fine for the time being.
Suo Ye nodded: "Okay, put it there, and I'll give you the money when the time comes." ’
Yang Xiaole did not refute when he heard this.
Say hello and leave.
After I came out, I thought about the stone I ordered at Gongmei last time, and I thought about it for a while and rode the bike to get the things back.
This time, you don't have to be brought by anyone, and you don't have to mix in.
I took my passport and went straight in.
As long as you pay attention to the future and don't run into acquaintances.
When Yang Xiaole saw that batch of things in the warehouse, he had to admire the craftsmanship of the master at this time, it was really good!
The animals come to life.
It feels like it's a shame to absorb it.
But there is no way, your own space is fundamental.
If it was a cultural relic, he would consider it, but this modern carving, he only regretted it for three seconds.
Docking with Gongmei.,As before.,Let the other party help send it halfway to unload on the edge of an alley with few people.。。
Send the other party away, Yang Xiaole waited there.
It wasn't until there was no one in the alley and on both sides for a few seconds that he hurriedly put things into the space and rode away.
After getting it done, it's time to get off work.
Ride and leave.
But before leaving, he still went to Yang Guangping and Zhang Xingtang's house to take a walk around to see if these two guys had any new discoveries.
Aside from the gold, nothing new has been found.
Nothing happened, so I rode away on my bike.
"Hey, Xiaole!"
When I returned to my alley, a familiar voice came from behind me.
Yang Xiaole turned his head to look at it, and immediately smiled: "Oh, Brother Wang, just got off work?" ”
The other party is the son of Director Sun's family, Wang Jianjun.
Slow down and wait for each other.
My father's job is done, but their family still has a level of streamlining that will come at any time!
And when it comes to the big wave in those years, it may be able to be used, but it can't be used to build a good relationship.
Multiple friends, multiple paths.
Wang Jianjun rode a car with a briefcase hanging on it.
I got out of the car after I came over.
To be honest, the two don't have a lot of friendship, basically they communicate when they sell goods, and they don't usually have much communication.
After Wang Jianjun came over, he looked around, and said with a straight smile: "I heard that you went to the countryside?" Did you bring anything back with you? ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole estimated that he had looked for himself.
didn't explain, just nodded: "Well, I went to the countryside for a while." There are not many things, you know, there is nothing to eat in the countryside now, and there are some chestnuts you want, only 3 catties. ”
This thing used to be sold in wet markets and grocery stores, but now it is no longer visible.
I picked up some last time, and this time I went to Hong Kong Island, and I naturally stocked up a lot of chestnuts and the like.
Hearing this, Wang Jianjun was disappointed for a while.
"Only chestnuts?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole glanced at him with slanted eyes.
Peanuts and melon seeds are also the Spring Festival, a family has half a catty of shelled peanuts and two taels of melon seeds, and 3 catties of chestnuts is too little?
"That's all, don't forget it, I'll send it to my uncle!"
After that, he was ready to leave.
Put what you're used to.
"Hey, yes, yes, it's all for me."
Seeing his movements, Wang Jianjun hurriedly pulled him with a smile: "How much is a catty?" ”
"Six cents a pound, I'll send it to you when I have time."
The purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperatives is 5 cents 9, and the selling price is 7 cents 5, so he naturally will not be too expensive, anyway, he does not make money, it is better to sell personal favors.
Hearing this price, Wang Jianjun smiled; "Okay, I'll get the money ready in a minute."
Yang Xiaole nodded.
When he came to the other party's compound, Wang Jianjun went in directly.
Yang Xiaole left and rushed home.
"Huh!"
Approaching the vicinity of his compound, he saw the old lady quietly coming out of the alley not far away surrounded by a group of people.
It's all the aunts in the compound.
On the surface, he is calm, talking and laughing, but if he looks closely, he looks like he has done something bad.
After looking at it, I pushed the cart and went straight in.
Back at home, no one in the compound cooked, only the eldest sister was there to prepare dinner.
After Yang Xiaole came in, he carried the bag into the house, and walked out after a while: "Sister, the noodles are bought, you can just watch and eat them, and the eggs are also in the cabinet." By the way, crack a few eggs and put them in the noodles. ”
With an egg in his hand, he came to the edge of the table.
The eldest sister was having a meeting, and when she heard this, she was strange for a while: "What are you doing in the noodles!" I can't even taste it. ”
"Why do you want to eat it! Wouldn't it be nice to be nutritious. ”
Yang Xiaole said indifferently.
The name is not growing up well.
When the eldest sister heard this, she immediately reacted.
The old lady sells eggs in the grocery store, and the eggs were secretly eaten before, so I am afraid that someone will know that the old lady uses power for personal gain.
Watching him crack eggs, he waited quietly.
Six eggs were beaten into the eldest sister's distressed gaze.
"So much?"
"It's okay, there are a lot of eggs!"
When they are done, they crush the eggshells and wrap them in old newspapers, waiting for time to take them out with the garbage.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaomei began to make peace.
The meeting was scarce, and some noodles were added.
While making noodles, he smiled and said: "My mother will see me make so many noodles in a while, and she will scold me." ”
While talking, there was a lot of excitement outside.
After a while, the curtain was raised, and I saw Wang Qiuju walking in from outside, still carrying a small cloth bag in her hand.
Seeing this, everyone stuck out their tongues at Yang Xiaole.
Yang Xiaole smiled, looked at the mysterious old lady and asked curiously: "Mother, what are you doing?" Mysterious and mysterious? ”
Wang Qiuju smiled when she saw this, "You saw it?" ”
"See! I just came back to see you coming out of the alley. ”
Hearing this, Wang Qiuju smiled and took out a few oiled papers from the cloth bag.
"Look, what is this?"
There was still a hint of mystery on his face.
Yang Xiaole opened the oil paper curiously when he heard this, but smiled when he saw something: "Huo, mother, the sun is coming out of the west today?" I'm buying cakes and peach cakes! ”
In a few oiled paper packets are cakes and peach cakes, which are the ordinary cakes of later generations.
Hearing this, Wang Qiuju glared at him: "Stinky boy, what nonsense!" ”
Yang Xiaole smiled and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and said with a smile: "What do you say!" I don't usually see you buy these! I bought a little bit for the New Year. How do you buy so much today? This adds up to three or four pounds, right? ”
Wang Qiuju nodded: "Well, almost, I heard from our director today, no matter what grade pastries and cakes are in the future, they will start to buy them with non-staple food certificates, and a household will have a month and a half pounds of pastries and two taels of biscuits." All of them have to collect food stamps! 5 taels a catty, when to cancel is to be determined. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment.
Then he thought of something and asked, "Then did you all go and buy it just now?" ”
"Yes! The director said that starting tomorrow, I didn't just think that I could buy some today! ”
Wang Qiuju took a towel and poured water to wipe her face.
Yang Xiaole was immediately happy after hearing this, "Mother, this month and a half catty, it seems to be enough for us to eat, right?" We've been here for a few months, how many times have you been willing to buy it? Why did this ask for tickets and began to think of buying more. ”
In the past few months when the old lady has been in the city, she still hasn't changed her habit of saving money in the countryside.
There is a very big gap between the non-staple food at home and the compound.
He didn't bother to say too much.
Anyway, with him getting something to subsidize from time to time, there is definitely no way to compare with their family in the compound secretly.
It's just that I take out a little bit from time to time, and I don't take money from home.
The old lady didn't feel distressed, so she didn't react.
Wang Qiuju stopped what she was doing when she heard this, and her face was distressed: "Yes! Anyway, our family rarely buys it, it's enough. ”
When the eldest sister heard this, she and Yang Xiaole glanced at each other, and they were both happy.
The small movements of the two naturally did not escape her eyes.
glared at the two of them, and explained: "Put away the things, don't make them all at once." What about Kiko? ”
Both of them shook their heads when they heard this.
Seeing this scene, Wang Qiuju didn't ask.
While talking, the eldest brother also came back from outside.
Seeing the things on the table, he was also strange for a while: "Hey, mother, are you going to leave relatives at home today?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eldest sister couldn't laugh anymore.
Wang Qiuju rolled her eyes: "A group of white-eyed wolves, I didn't buy it if I knew it." ”
"Oh, give us something to eat!"
When the eldest brother heard this, he was also surprised for a while, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
When he learned the reason, he also said the same thing as Yang Xiaole, that is, whether it is calculated according to the amount in the future, it will have no impact on their family.
provoked the old lady to roll her eyes again.
"Woo~~~"
In the midst of my thoughts, there was a cry outside.
Several people looked back.
Because by listening to the cry, a few people knew who it was.
I saw Xizi wiping her tears, opening the curtain and walking in, followed by a little scared little sister.
Wang Qiuju felt distressed when she saw this.
Hurriedly walked over: "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing Kiko covering her head, she hurriedly broke his hand and checked it.
Xizi cried breathlessly and said there: "Mother, Jianguo he beat me." ”
Wang Qiuju was surprised when he heard this: "He beat you, why did he beat you?" ”
Hearing the old lady's inquiry, Xiaoli leaned her neck next to her and said: "We listened to the radio at Uncle Zhao's house, the third brother was talking to Liu Jiefang there, Jianjun said about him, and also said that we were from the countryside, and the third brother said that he was there, and Jianjun pushed the third brother and hit his head on the table." ”
When Wang Qiuju heard this, her brows furrowed.
shouted at Kiko: "Okay, what are you crying about!" Don't go next time. ”
The child fights, or in someone else's house, although he feels uncomfortable, but it is not easy to say anything.
And Kiko was not injured either.
As an adult, you can't run to quarrel with your children.
After listening to this, Yang Xiaole did not speak, and stood up expressionlessly.
When he came to the door of Uncle Zhao's house, he shouted directly inside: "Zhao Jianguo, get out of here." ”
Aunt Zhao, who was standing at the door of the hall, saw him coming, so she smiled and apologized and said, "Xiaole! Kiko is okay, I just scolded him. ”
When Yang Xiaole heard this, he ignored her.
Instead, he looked at Zhao Jianguo, who came out slowly.
Seeing him come out, Aunt Zhao slapped Zhao Jianguo angrily: "You kid, why are you pushing Xizi!" How old are you! ”
Complaining in his mouth.
But the movements of the hands are estimated to be about the same as dusting.
Zhao Jianguo said with some dissatisfaction: "He came to our house to listen to the radio, and he was still arguing there, and he couldn't say it yet!" If you want to hear it from home, just buy it yourself. How did I know I was going to hit my head. ”
Yang Xiaole saw his expression and said directly; "How old are you, how old is he, what is your face? Do you want to be embarrassed? ”
In fact, he had countless ways to teach him.
But that's an afterword, the family still needs someone to come out alone, otherwise it will make people feel like a soft persimmon after a long time.
As for whether someone will feel that he is ignorant for a while, or feel that he is making a big fuss, after all, it is just a child pushing and shoving.
He doesn't care about that!
"Who do you say shamelessly!"
When Zhao Jianguo heard this, he was angry for a while, and pointed his finger at him and walked down the steps.
Yang Xiaole looked at the outstretched hand, twisted it with one hand, and kicked it out with a kick.
"Oops, hey!"
Zhao Jianguo originally wanted to scare him, but he didn't expect him to do it.
I didn't react for a while, and my stomach was kicked.
"Hiss~~ Let go, you let go! Hurt! ”
The pain in his hands and stomach made him scream.
I want to do it, but where to use the energy.
It's all happening, and the others haven't reacted yet!
"Hey, you kid, why do you do it!"
Aunt Zhao was distressed when she saw her grandson being beaten for a while, and complained and followed.
"Xiaole, what are you doing!"
Behind him, there was also the cheer of the old lady Wang Qiuju.
Yang Xiaole saw that the two of them were coming, so he let go of his hand: "Pay attention next time you speak, what's wrong with us being from the countryside?" Aren't all the food you eat every day from the countryside? ”
The people in the compound all came out.
Curiously watching this scene.
"What are you doing, kid!"
Wang Qiuju came over and pulled him down to the side of his eldest brother.
When Aunt Zhao saw her coming, she said with some embarrassment on her face: "Qiu Ju, it's normal for this child to quarrel, it's all to blame for our family's founding of the country, but Xiaole's little hands are too heavy!" Why are you still kicking people! ”
When Wang Qiuju heard this, she naturally protected her children.
But he still said: "I'll go back and treat him well, it's not a big deal." ”
After speaking, he glared at Yang Xiaole: "Give me back, see how I clean you up when I go back." ”
Yang Xiaole knew that the old lady was scaring herself.
At this time, he didn't say anything cruel, and turned to leave.
But instead of going home, he pushed the cart and left.
"Why are you going?"
Wang Qiuju saw his movements and hurriedly asked.
"Take a trip to Uncle!"
"What are you doing with him?"
Yang Xiaole didn't answer, but pushed the cart and left.
Seeing him leave, Wang Qiuju smiled and talked to Aunt Zhao.
Yang Xiaole left the compound and went straight to the mall.
Isn't it just a radio?
Just buy one.
Let's just say that it was taken by the uncle, which is why he said he was going to the uncle's side just now.
However, he didn't have a ticket, but went to the International Friends Service Department, which sold radios, and the tickets were basically the same as those sold outside, and there were imported goods here.
I've been here for a while, and I've asked a little.
In fact, the radio is really not expensive.
Because the radio is based on the number of lights, from 1 light radio only 15 yuan, to the most expensive 6 light radio from 120 to 290 yuan, the difficult thing is to get a ticket.
He didn't know what standard this lamp was.
Anyway, the fewer the number of lights, the cheaper the price, and the smaller the size.
The smallest one is about the same as a brick, the largest is about the same as a microwave oven, and the most expensive 6-lamp has a record function.
Naturally, the International Friends Service Department will not have 1 lamp of this cheapest.
The worst are all 4 lights.
47 yuan a piece.
Looking at the dazzling array of counters, there is only one of each, but there are more than a dozen types and brands.
After thinking about it for a while, I still didn't buy the most expensive one.
I asked for the smallest and best quality 5-lamp radio.
136.
I didn't ask how to use it, I just paid and went back with the box.
Isn't it just 2 knobs!
When you come out, throw the box in the space.
This thing can be battery-powered or plugged in.
However, the battery is generally not available, this guy needs a total of 4 large batteries, and one will cost 4 cents 2, unless it is an emergency.
Put the radio in a cloth bag, ride back.
When I got home, it was already dusk.
The crowd in the compound had also dispersed, and everyone was cooking there.
"Why did you go! What are you bringing here? ”
As soon as he came back, the eldest brother asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm going to get the uncle's radio back."
Yang Xiaole said casually and took out the radio.
"What?"
Hearing this, the eldest brother was surprised, and the eldest sister and several people also gathered around with the same curiosity.
Watching Yang Xiaole plug in there.
"Zizizi~"
"Accumulate fat handsome flag from north to south and fight for fertilizer! Fully carry forward the heroic spirit of the permanent revolution, and work together to create soil and fertilizer......"
I turned on the switch, debugged it for a while, and there was a sound inside.
The voice is round, very strange, but very spiritual.
It's a news story.
After listening to this, Yang Xiaole shook his head, and continued!
It is estimated that when spring begins, various "advanced" planting methods will come out.
What ploughs the ground one meter, and plants one meter deep.
Thinking of this, he can vomit blood, plant less than one meter, and still sprout?
What about giraffes?
"Brother, brother, in the future, we will be able to listen to the small speaker radio in our own home."
Kiko heard the sound of the radio and cheered there.
The eldest brother next to him still couldn't believe it: "Xiaole, you really got the radio from your uncle's house?" Is their house gone? ”
Yang Xiaole looked at him and said, "Remember, this is from the uncle's house, did you hear it?" ”
Looking at his expression, the eldest brother suddenly understood what was going on.
wanted to continue asking, Yang Xiaole said impatiently: "Okay, don't ask, wait for my mother and them to come back and talk about it together, I'm too lazy to explain one by one." ”
Because at this time, the sound of musical instruments came over the radio.
As soon as I heard it, I was going to play a drama for a while.
Sure enough, a burst of domestic musical instruments sounded, and a singing sound came from the radio.
"This letter came at a good time, and God helped Huang Zhong to succeed. Standing at the camp gate to pass the camp number, the big and small children listen to the roots and seedlings: the head is drummed, the war rice is made, the second drum is tightened, the battle robe is tightened, the three drums, the knife is out of the sheath, the four drums are handed over, and the soldiers are handed over to ............"
