Today is a day that the deaf old lady specially found to be a suitable day to move.
Starting from the morning, Qin Jingru and the neighbors in the courtyard began to pack up their belongings under the command of the old lady, including pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, needles and thread, no matter whether they were used or not, as long as they had a little value,
Even if it is a grain of rice, everything must be packed and taken away!
After spending a whole morning, they finally packed up their things and moved them all to the entrance of the front yard, waiting for Chu Heng to load the car.
now.
The deaf old lady and her family of four were sitting in a clean room that looked like it had just been raided three times by the Japanese, talking to the neighbors.
The old lady is over ninety this year and has lived in this courtyard for most of her life. It can be said that more than half of the neighbors in the courtyard were born, grew up, and got married under her witness.
Now that the old lady is moving out, the neighbors will naturally come to give her a gift.
"Silly Pillar."
Inside the house, the deaf old lady pulled Silly Zhu, who had come back from leave to help her clean up the house, with a bit of guilt on her face: "Madam, I'm sorry for you. I promised you that you would provide for me in my old age, and I would wait until I die.
I’ll give you a house, but don’t think things will change forever. My wife now has Jingru and Huniu, so I have to keep this house for her and my mother-in-law!”
"Hey, why are you talking about this? It's just one room. What a big deal. Besides, Yu Yu has already married. My family now has two rooms, which is enough." Silly Zhu smiled nonchalantly. He now
Salary plus extra money, I can earn one or two hundred yuan every month, so I can't look down on this shabby house.
"That's not possible. In the past few years, you did your best to serve my wife and me to eat and drink. I have already counted it in my heart. We can't break your promise." As she said this, the old lady tremblingly took out a simple-looking jade pendant from her pocket.
Putting it into Silly Zhu's hand, he said: "Take this jade pendant as compensation from your wife and as a thought. You must not lose it. I snatched this jade pendant from a big landowner's house."
Yes! It’s valuable!”
"Oh, what are you doing? Take it back quickly. How can I ask for this?" Silly Zhu pushed back hurriedly.
"Just take it, you little monkey, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you, believe it or not?"
"I don't want to smoke you. I just cooked a few meals for you. Isn't that right?"
"I'll be angry if you don't accept it!"
The two of them pushed the jade pendant back and forth, but no one wanted it.
When Uncle Yi saw this, he smiled and said: "Old lady, you'd better take your things back. Zhuzi is your junior, and I asked you to take care of me when you were a child. Isn't it natural for me to cook you a few meals and give you some food and drink?"
?”
After saying this, the old man glanced at Silly Zhu with meaning.
The old couple also had no children, so they were counting on this honest and honest guy to support them in their old age.
"Uncle Yi is right, you are the old lady in the courtyard, and we should serve you accordingly."
"Take it back quickly, old lady."
"Take it back, take it back, you pushers, don't fall again."
Other neighbors in the house also started to persuade him.
"That's right, please take it back quickly." Silly Zhu hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant back into the old lady's pocket, and held her hand tightly, saying nothing to stop her from taking it out.
"You kid is really looking for a fight!" After struggling for a few times, the old lady gave him a helpless look.
"Madam." Qin Jingru came over with the little Huniu in her arms at this time. She had long since lost the rustic look of a rural girl. She smiled generously and decently at Silly Zhu, then turned to look at the old lady and said, "You don't have to do that."
You are thinking about these things. It’s not like you don’t have a daughter or a granddaughter. We will help you repay the favor you deserve."
"Jingru is right." Aunt Yan continued with a smile: "You are already so old, so don't worry about it. Otherwise, why do you want children and grandchildren?"
"Okay, okay, then I won't care about it. Let my daughter and my granddaughter take care of it!" The old lady was happy when she mentioned this, and she opened her mouth with a bright smile, revealing a mouth of neat teeth with white thorns.
This is not the old lady's reverse growth. Her teeth are the dentures that Qin Jingru took to the hospital to get fitted after the last tooth fell out in her mouth a few days ago according to Chu Heng's instructions.
At first, the old lady was reluctant to part with it, saying that she wouldn't live for a few more years, so she shouldn't waste money.
But after the teeth came back, the old lady also realized the benefits of having teeth. What she loves most now is to sit there and chew broad beans and cucumbers. She didn’t dare to touch these before, but now she bites them and makes a clicking sound.
She always likes to show off her things to others. When she sees an acquaintance, she will show her teeth to show them the dentures given by her goddaughter, so that the white teeth are tanned by a shade!
"Patience!"
At this time, the little tiger girl in Qin Jingru's arms suddenly twisted her body, called out to the old lady incomprehensively, and stretched out her short and thick arms towards her, wanting to hug her.
The little guy, who is almost one year old, has now begun to learn to speak, and one or two sounds often come out of his mouth.
And this grandma's cry was indeed the first time.
"Hey, my little baby, I have to call my little baby grandma!" The deaf old lady's ears, which were not working well at that time, were working hard. She heard these two words clearly, and her dentures fell out when she laughed.
.
She happily hugged the little guy back and kissed him fiercely with her dry, toothless lips.
"Mu! Mu!"
"Grrrrrr!"
The little guy danced and smiled happily.
People around looked at the grandfather and grandson interacting warmly and couldn't help but smile like an aunt on their faces.
"Come here, come here, Uncle Chu is bringing people here!"
Suddenly, a snot-nosed kid ran to the door and shouted: "A big truck is coming, and there are many people here!"
When Qin Jingru heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up a little. She couldn't wait to move to her brother Hengzi's house, so she quickly greeted everyone: "Hey, let's go over there, let's go and help."
The whole group of people came out of the house in a hurry and headed straight to the front yard.
Yu Haitang, who was raising her baby at home with a big belly, stood in front of her house with a faint look in her eyes. She looked at Qin Jingru who was walking forward quickly with her buttocks twisted, and she felt a little envious...
Not long after.
The group came to the front yard and saw Chu Heng directing Fang Wu and others to move things to the car. The young and strong neighbors hurried up to help.
"elder brother!"
Qin Jingru ran to Chu Heng immediately, looking at her longing lover, with a smile on her face and a sense of joy all over her body. If she had a tail, she would probably be turned into an electric fan by now.
.
Chu Heng had no intention of flirting with her at this moment. He pointed at the big and small packages at the door of the courtyard and said worriedly: "No, didn't I tell you all? Just throw away the useless ones. Why do you still throw away those rags?"
Installed?"
"I can't decide on this, the old lady insists on taking it with me." Qin Jingru said with a bitter smile.
