The third uncle and grandpa quickly put on the newly bought clothes. The thick cotton jacket and cotton trousers kept him warm all over, and the half-worn cotton rubber shoes allowed him to regain consciousness in the soles of his feet that had long been frozen.
.
Chu Heng knelt down and looked through the tattered clothes that the old man had changed out of. He thought there would be some cotton in the old man's cotton-padded jacket, but when he took a look, he realized that it was just filled with some straw velvet.
How can this thing keep you warm?
"Why."
Thinking that the old man had walked all the way from Langfang wearing this thing, he sighed sadly, then raised his head and asked his third uncle and grandpa who was still playing with new clothes: "Burn the clothes, they are all in disgrace.
"
These clothes are really torn. Not to mention they are full of patches. In some places, they can be damaged by just pulling with a little force. I don’t know how many years they have been worn.
"You can't burn it, you can't burn it, but you can still wear it." The old man couldn't agree. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the clothes, and even carefully wrapped up the broken pair of straw sandals.
"Then keep it, let's go back." Chu Heng shook his head helplessly and did not insist anymore. He led the old man out of the kitchen, said hello to Aunt Han Lian on duty, and then rode his bicycle to carry the old man home.
.
At this time, Sijiucheng was very dilapidated, with mottled walls and houses everywhere, and garbage strewn all over the ground.
But in the eyes of the third uncle and grandpa, this place was extremely prosperous, with solid brick buildings, tall tube buildings, bustling shops, and well-dressed pedestrians, which made him dizzy.
After looking around for a while, the grandfather and grandson soon returned to the courtyard.
After arriving home, Chu Heng quickly lit a fire and boiled water, while his third uncle and grandpa wandered around the house curiously.
As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned by the various household items in the room. He touched the table, chairs, bed, and looked at the radio and gramophone on the chest of drawers. It felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Chu Hengsheng was so angry that he dragged the old man to sit at the Eight Immortals table and continued to chat about those things before the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was very curious about that period and wanted to write a book.
After chatting like this for a while, when the water in the kettle boiled, he found a footbath and let his third uncle and grandpa soak his feet comfortably. Finally, he applied frostbite medicine with his own hands.
This overwhelming enthusiasm made the old man feel uneasy, sighing that the Chu family had a good young man.
After applying the ointment to the old man, Chu Heng straightened up and said, "You have a rest first. I'll go to the backyard. When we get back, we'll go to my second uncle's place."
"I'm not in a hurry, you're busy with your work." Third uncle and grandpa said with an assured smile.
Looking at Chu Heng's attitude towards him, he was extremely sure at this moment that no one in his family would die this year!
"I'm leaving."
Chu Heng walked into the outhouse, picked up the food bags belonging to the deaf old ladies in the backyard at the door, first filled the flour bags with ten more kilograms of flour, and then took out two bottles of canned oranges and half a kilogram of sugar cubes from the space.
, he then went out with his things.
The old man dedicated his life to the country, so it is appropriate for him to give something as a tribute.
When passing through the middle courtyard, he also met Widow Qin. The two of them just looked at each other and then passed each other, becoming strangers to each other.
Passing through the two moon gates in the middle courtyard and the backyard, Chu Heng soon arrived at the old lady's house.
Seeing the extra candies and cans in his hands, the old man stood up in a hurry: "You little kid, why did you buy this for your wife? I'm too old to eat these things, so take them back quickly."
"I honor you, just keep it." Chu Heng smiled and put down the things, wiped himself and left the house, not giving the old man a chance to pester him.
"You kid!"
The old lady staggered to the door and saw that he had already fled out of the backyard, so she could only retreat.
When packing the grain bags, the old man immediately noticed that there was a lot of flour. She opened it and took a look. She sighed helplessly and shook her head with a kind smile on her face: "She is a good and honest child."
(Ni Yinghong: Are you talking about the dead person who set off the fruit stall?)
After Chu Heng returned home, he brought out a lot of food and drink, including rice, flour, grains, oils, sugar cubes and pastries. He brought some of everything, and then left the courtyard with his things on his third uncle and grandpa's back.
After getting along with each other for a while, the third uncle and grandpa were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning. In addition, Chu Heng had an easy-going temperament and could get along with anyone. The two of them chatted all the way to the courtyard of Chu Jianshe's family.
As soon as he entered the house, Chu Jianshe greeted him enthusiastically, grabbed the old man's hand, shook it vigorously, and said happily: "Third uncle, we haven't seen each other for some years. I remember you took me to steal the house when I was a kid.
Here comes the sweet potatoes.”
"Times go by so fast. In a blink of an eye, you got married and started a business, and I became a bad old man." The old man said with a sigh on his face.
"You don't look old, you are very tough." Chu Jianshe smiled and pulled his third uncle and grandpa into the house.
The second aunt didn't seem to like the old man very much, she just smiled politely, without even saying hello, she walked over to Chu Heng who was carrying a bunch of things, and complained vehemently: "Why did you buy something again?
People who spend money randomly every day and are about to get married don’t know how to live their lives carefully!”
"It didn't cost much." Chu Heng smiled and stuffed the things into the two little ones who looked at him eagerly.
"You two, you two are not good at living."
The second aunt gave him a disastrous look, put her hands on her hips and complained angrily: "You said that your second uncle, a poor relative who can't even reach a rocket launcher, has to entertain him when he comes, isn't this going to cause trouble for himself? What if?
From now on, if you have nothing to do, come and fight the autumn breeze, we can’t survive this day!”
"Hehe." Mr. Chu closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more.
It would be better if the couple complains about each other as little as possible. Don't wait until the second uncle coaxes the second aunt one night and then pretends to be a human being inside and outside.
After listening to the second aunt's nagging for a while, Chu Heng wandered away and ran to the living room to chat with Chu Jianshe and the others.
Seeing him coming, Chu Jianshe remembered the phone call he made today, and asked his third uncle and grandpa strangely: "I said, third uncle, if you didn't come to Sijiu City to find me, why did you find this boy Chu Heng?"
Really? This kid doesn’t know you."
"Why didn't you find it?"
The third uncle and grandpa said with a wry smile: "I looked for your home based on its previous address, but when I went to the place, it was already a different address. When I asked you where the new address was, they didn't know."
"Then how do you know where Chu Heng is?" Chu Jianshe asked curiously.
The third uncle glanced at Chu Heng and said with a strange expression: "I couldn't find anything about you, so I tried to ask Chu Heng. I didn't expect that the daughter of that family actually knew him. What he looked like, where he lived, and where his work was.
Tell me exactly where it is."
Chu Heng, who was sitting upright, smiled shyly.
suffer!
With such a status in the world, it’s a joke, it’s a joke!
