The entire compound is divided into two courtyards.

The Yang family lives in the north house in the backyard, which occupies the largest three rooms, and there are three more families in the southeast and west, all of which have only two rooms.

The entire compound is occupied by the families of the Red Star Iron and Steel Plant.

Xu Yao followed her grandmother and passed by the people in the west first, but her grandmother did not stop, but told Xu Yao, "They have a lot of families, and they are more chaotic, so Yaoyao should not go over to play in the future." ”

"Uh-huh." Xu Yao nodded very seriously and heard the subtext - the relationship between the two families is very poor.

Then there was the house in the south, Xu Yao only saw a woman of about fifty, the other party squinted at her for a while, and said a little perfunctorily, "The little girl is very beautiful, but it's a pity, not a kid." ”

As soon as she heard this, Xu Yao understood that this was a patriarchal person.

Yao Hong returned the chopsticks, grabbed a handful of peanuts and gave them to Hua Yin, she smiled lightly, "Boy, I have a lot of family, this is the only girl, and I want to be more precious." ”

Hua Yin glanced at Xu Yao twice, the little girl was not shy at all, but laughed with her, her son was not married in his thirties, and she couldn't hold her grandson if she wanted to. Looking at Xu Yao, she couldn't help but itch, so she went into the house and grabbed a handful of dates and handed them over.

Xu Yao looked up at her grandmother, and waited for her grandmother to nod before taking the dates, "Thank you, Grandma Hua." ”

"You're welcome, you're quite sensible." Hua Yin couldn't hold back, and reached out to pinch Xu Yao's face.

Yes, it's quite tender, if it's her granddaughter...... No, she has to have a grandson.

But other people's granddaughters, she can pinch more.

was pinched twice, Xu Yao hurriedly hid behind her grandmother, and followed her grandmother to the east.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two little sisters fighting.

"Tingting, are you fighting again?" Yao Hong frowned, and went over to pull the two sisters away, "Don't fight, Grandma Yao will give you peanuts to eat." If there is another fight, when your parents come back from work, I will tell them to go. ”

The two little girls were about the same age as Xu Yao, but they were a little dark, and when they heard this, they immediately stopped and looked at Xu Yao curiously.

Xu Yao also smiled at them, but Zeng Tingting, who was older, pouted disdainfully, "Cut, it's not as good-looking as me." ”

My sister Zeng Yuanyuan was only five years old, looked at my sister, and then looked at Xu Yao, and said with a sincere face, "But sister, she is whiter than you, her eyes are bigger than you, and she looks taller than you." ”

"Zeng Yuanyuan, do you want to be beaten again?" As she spoke, Zeng Tingting began to roll her sleeves again.

The sisters were only two years apart, and Zeng Yuanyuan stood on the stool not to be outdone, but before she could speak, she was hugged by Grandma Yao.

"Two ancestors, who are you two sisters like, one by one like a cannonball. Don't fight, go outside and play, or I'm going to sue. Yao Hong coaxed away the two sisters of the Zeng family, and when she went to see Xu Yao again, she saw Xu Yao sensibly next to her, and she liked Xu Yao more and more.

It's still my own granddaughter, good-looking, and well-behaved!

After delivering their things in the backyard, they went to the front yard.

There were two bachelors living on the west side of the front yard, they didn't have extra dishes and chopsticks, so Yao Hong didn't ask them to borrow them, and took Xu Yao directly to the north house.

As soon as she entered the house, Xu Yao smelled the bitter and astringent taste of Chinese medicine.

"Qinghua, why do you drink Chinese medicine again?" Yao Hong took out the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Qian Qinghua who came out of the back room helplessly, "You are forty-seven, why does your Zheng Bin still want to have a son?" ”

Qian Qinghua is thin and tall, she has four daughters, but her husband is the only seedling in the family and wants a son. Over the years, in order to have children, she has found many home remedies.

After Yao Hong was widowed, she went to work in the health center of the steel factory, and the two had a lot of contacts, and the relationship was the best in the compound.

Qian Qinghua just smiled, didn't answer Yao Hong's words, her eyes fell on Xu Yao, and praised, "Sister Hong, your life is good, now you have grandchildren." When I looked at it yesterday, I thought this girl was handsome, come, show it to Grandma Qian. ”

She saw that the little girl was a little shy, and poured a glass of sweet water.

Xu Yao didn't like the smell of medicine on Qian Qinghua's body, but she could feel that Qian Qinghua was very gentle.

When Qian Qinghua held her hand and touched the other party's calluses, Xu Yao sighed in her heart, it is not easy for women in this era.

What kind of person, it's not that there is an inheritance to the throne in the family, so why do you have to have a son in these two tiled houses.

"Grandma Qian, thank you for your sweet water." Xu Yao smiled generously with Qian Qinghua.

In fact, sweet water is not sweet, and now sugar is too expensive, and most people are reluctant to buy it, and it is very good to add a few grains of sugar. Moreover, Xu Yao looked at the Zheng family's house, which was the most broken in this compound.

"Hey, Yaoyao, you're so good." Qian Qinghua's daughters are more introverted and will not talk to her so coquettishly. When he was thinking about whether he had anything to give Xu Yao to eat, he heard Sister Hong say that she was leaving, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Sit down for a while, you just came." ”

"Don't sit down, there are still a few more to return things."

Yao Hong knew that Qian Qinghua was a good person, and she was afraid that Qian Qinghua would go to find something to eat again, so she hurriedly said goodbye. It's not easy for anyone to eat at someone's house all the time.

"You rest, don't send it. Yaoyao, say goodbye to Grandma Qian. ”

"Goodbye, Grandma Qian." Xu Yao took her grandmother and waved to Qian Qinghua.

Qian Qinghua saw that Xu Yao was so obedient, and felt a little guilty in her heart, she should have added a little more sugar just now.

Seeing that Yao Hong's ancestor and grandson went to the east, thinking that it was time for him to drink medicine, Qian Qinghua ran back to the house.

And Xu Yao's ancestors and grandchildren arrived at the last family in the compound.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard a sharp voice.

"Isn't it just asking you to take half a day off, why is it so difficult?"

"I don't see my mother-in-law in your eyes, you tell me the truth, what did you say to the person surnamed Zhao yesterday?"

"If you don't say it, I know, you want to hook up with someone, don't you?"

......

When Xu Yao heard this, her ears were covered, and she was taken away by her grandmother, who asked her to wait.

When grandma came out, she shook her head and sighed, Xu Yao knew that she would stay away from the family in the future.

There are a total of eight families in the compound, Xu Yao followed the road in the morning, and she knew how much she planned to wait for her mother to come back, and then relay what she saw in the morning.

But so many people live together, you don't have to think much about it, you know that it will be very lively in the future.

In the end, there were a few left, which were in the courtyard next door, Xu Yao followed her grandmother around, and when she came back, her two trouser pockets were full.

Those aunts and mothers-in-law love to pinch her face and grab a handful of food for her.

It's a good thing to have food, but you can't always be pinched, she hurts a little.

On the way back to the compound, I happened to meet the three brothers of the Yang family who were climbing trees.

Yao Hong shouted, "Shouchun, play for half an hour, and then take my younger brothers home for dinner." ”

Yang Shouchun was climbing on the tree to catch the bull, and when he heard his grandmother calling him, he reluctantly let out an oh, and by the way, he grabbed the bull and climbed under the tree.

Seeing grandma holding Xu Yao, the two of them were affectionate, Yang Shouchun was stunned for a moment, and Tianniu didn't know if he ran away.

"Big brother, what are you doing in a daze, Tianniu has run away!" Yang Wangqiu jumped up anxiously, but the Tianniu flew away, so he could only watch the Tianniu run away, and said angrily, "I'm still waiting to take the Tianniu and exchange it for marbles with Dabao and Erbao!" ”

The Dabao brothers are the children of the family on the east side of the front yard, and their father is the same age as Yang Lilian and is a classmate in elementary school, so Yang Wangqiu often plays with them.

Yang Shouchun was already in a bad mood, and said fiercely, "Just run, just run, it's good if you can't catch it again." ”

"Okay." Yang Wangqiu didn't know how to climb a tree, so he didn't dare to make his eldest brother angry anymore, and when he saw that his eldest brother was gone, he hurriedly pulled the second brother who was sitting on the side reading a book to chase, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the hut." Yang Shouchun raised his feet and ran.

Yang Wangqiu couldn't catch up with his eldest brother, and when he stopped to catch his breath, he happened to meet the Xu Dabao brothers who came out of the compound, and immediately asked them with a smile if they had helped him keep marbles.

Xu Dabao is eleven this year, and Yang Shouchun is in the same class, which is better than Yang Wangqiu, "Keep it, did you catch Tianniu?" ”

"Not yet." Yang Wangqiu shook his head sadly.

"I'll give you another day, if you can't catch it, I'll change it with someone else." Xu Dabao has actually exchanged marbles for Tianniu, but Yang Wangqiu is stupid, Yang Tingxia is a nerd, and every time Yang Shouchun is not there, he will play tricks on the two brothers.

"Don't, I'm sure I'll catch the Celestial Cow today!" Yang Wangqiu said anxiously.

Xu Dabao snorted, and when he was about to leave, he turned around and grabbed Yang Wangqiu, "I saw your grandmother and sister just now, your sister has food in her pocket, and your grandmother gave it, right?" Yang Wangqiu, you're finished, you're not smart in the first place, but now you have a beautiful sister, and your grandma won't love you in the future. ”

"No, it won't!" Yang Wangqiu shook his head vigorously, "Don't talk nonsense, my grandmother loves me the most." ”

"Then you can go back and see, and you'll know." Xu Dabao turned his head to look at his younger brother, "Erbao, did you see Xu Yao's pockets full of food just now?" ”

Xu Erbao nodded and said yes, he also asked Xu Yao for red dates, but Xu Yao only gave him two, saying that the rest would be divided among the three brothers, and now he was very angry when he thought about it, and his tone was a little heavy, "I saw it all, two pockets were full, and I grabbed shortbread in my hand." I asked her to give me ......"

"Erbao, it's time for us to go." Xu Dabao interrupted his younger brother's words, couldn't let his younger brother say more, and pulled his younger brother away.

Yang Wangqiu stood in place, thinking that his grandmother secretly gave Xu Yao delicious food, his heart was broken.

Yang Tingxia, who was on the side, saw his younger brother standing still, and pulled his brother's hand, but was thrown away.

"I'm going to go home and see!" Yang Wangqiu ran back hard, but as soon as he entered the house, he really saw Xu Yao sitting on a chair with a lot of snacks on the table, he didn't think about it, so he yelled, "Xu Yao, don't you rob my grandma!" ”

Xu Yao was stunned, what is this kid crazy about?

Yao Hong heard the roar of her little grandson in the kitchen, came over with an apron, and saw that her little grandson clenched his fists, crying so much that he was snotty, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Woo, grandma, you don't ...... It doesn't hurt me anymore. Yang Wangqiu was very sad and desperate, "You have a good ...... Delicious, not ...... Don't give it to me. ”

Hearing this, Yao Hong almost rolled her eyes, pinched her little grandson's face and said, "These are all from Grandma Qiu and they gave your sister, not me secretly gave it to her. Hurry up and wipe your tears and say sorry to my sister, my sister hasn't eaten a single one, and I want to wait for you to come back and share it together. ”

"Really?" Yang Wangqiu snorted and snorted, his lips trembling and trembling.

"Nonsense!" Yao Hong took a deep breath, who is this kid like, frizzy, so that she always wants to beat him.

Yang Wangqiu wiped his tears, walked to the table, pursed his mouth slightly, and said embarrassedly, "Sister...... Sister, right...... Grandma, why are you hitting me on the head? ”

"Louder!" Yao Hong was impatient.

"Sister, I'm sorry!" Yang Wangqiu puffed up his chest, shouted in one breath, and snorted again, "But let me tell you, grandma is my own grandmother, you just trust ...... It hurts, grandma, don't pluck my ears, it hurts too much! ”

Although Yao Hong didn't finish listening, he also knew what the little grandson was going to say later, so he walked out with the stinky boy's ear.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my son pushing a bicycle in, followed by my daughter-in-law who was frowning slightly.
