The second aunt quickly prepared the meal. Because she did not like the poor relative of the third uncle and grandpa, the meal was not very rich. It was just a plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of potatoes and cabbage stewed with bacon, and the staple food was steamed buns.
.
But with this kind of treatment, the old people still think it’s too good.
Chu Jianshe also opened a bottle of Erguotou, and the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people at the table chatted and chatted. After a few glasses of wine, the third uncle and grandpa, who had never been embarrassed to mention the matter of borrowing food, finally spoke.
This old man who never frowned even when he was shot through a sea of blood, now had to lower his proud and stubborn head for the sake of the lives of his whole family.
With a red face, he said to the two men in charge of the Chu family: "I really had no choice, so I found your family. This year, the fields were plagued by insects, and the harvest was reduced by 30%, and the rations were all allocated.
If you can't survive the winter, you...see if you can...lend some to me, and I will come back when the grain is distributed next year."
The second aunt next to her put down her chopsticks when she heard this, her face became slightly gloomy, and she lightly kicked her husband under the table, hinting him not to act like a bigot.
It's not that the second aunt has a bad temper, it's that she really can't afford to help these poor relatives. If you help today, maybe a group of people will come tomorrow. Even if their family's conditions are good, they can't withstand such a disaster.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jianshe was unmoved. He had always admired his distant third uncle who had been upright for most of his life. He also knew that the old man really couldn't survive, otherwise he wouldn't have run away without shame.
Come and beg him, a relative who has made the fifth service.
He picked up the wine glass with a smile, touched it gently with the old man, and said, "Third uncle, our family is rich with thirty kilograms of stick noodles and more than ten kilograms of sorghum rice. You can take them with you when you leave."
The old man was very excited when he heard this. Although the more than forty kilograms of food was not much for his large family, if he saved a little food, it could still save his family's life. As long as they could survive until spring,
There are wild vegetables to eat, so you can survive no matter what.
Just as he was about to stand up and thank him for his life, the wealthy man next to him suddenly interrupted: "I still have fifty or sixty kilograms of stick noodles. I'll bring them to my third uncle and grandpa later."
For him, who has millions of kilograms of grain and oil, he is still happy to do this kind of thing where just a few kilograms of grain can save the lives of a family. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so it should all be given to him.
The children have accumulated good deeds.
But this guy is not the Holy Mother. His good deeds are all based on his preference. If you are interested in him, you can help him, but if he is unhappy, no one can even think of taking a piece of food out of his hand!
When the third uncle and grandpa saw that the uncle and nephew had lent him so much food at once, his eyes were red with excitement. He stood up with a "hurrah" and knelt down like pushing a mountain of gold to a jade pillar: "I kowtow to you!"
"Oh, aren't you just shortening our lifespan?" Chu Heng quickly helped the old man up and said in a dumbfounded voice: "It's just a little food, we won't be like this, who has never been in trouble? What if our family is in trouble in the future?
If you encounter difficulties, all you need to do is help."
"I didn't say anything. From now on, whenever our family is needed, just say hello." The old man clapped his chest loudly, and finally assured firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely return this food!"
The second aunt over there turned green and stared at Chu Heng coldly, telling him not to be stupid.
Fifty or sixty kilograms of stick noodles, you can’t afford it anymore?
However, Chu Heng's Divine Friendship skill was not activated. He did not understand the second aunt's eyes at all. Instead, he thought she was praising him and continued to drink and eat with a playful smile.
Make the second aunt so angry that she grinds her teeth!
After the banquet was over, Chu Heng and his third uncle and grandpa left with the food.
The second aunt, who had been holding back for a long time, finally got angry. She pinched the second uncle's ears and scolded him: "You give dozens of kilograms of grain to a poor relative, and you can't survive this day? If there are a few more, we will
Will the family have to break up?"
"Third uncle is really in trouble, we can't just sit idly by." Chu Jianshe smiled and took his wife's hand, hesitated for a moment, then bent down and picked up his second aunt, turned around and entered the bedroom.
"What are you doing! Put me down!" the second aunt angrily slapped his back hard.
"Let's go into the house and say, don't disturb the child's sleep!"
The two entered the bedroom quickly. They were still arguing at first, but after a while there was no movement.
It went on like this for a long time.
Finally convinced, the second aunt panted and lay on her man's chest. She rolled her eyes at him with satisfaction and said softly: "There are still some old clothes at home. Let's send them to the old man later."
"Okay." The exhausted Chu Jianshe nodded feebly, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Third uncle, you owe me a huge favor!
…
Third uncle and grandpa set out before dawn this morning to walk from home to Sijiu City. They had traveled a long distance in the wind and snow, and were already exhausted. After drinking some wine, they lay down and fell asleep when they returned to Chu Heng's house.
.
Good guy, this snoring sounds like it fell into a pig pen.
Because Chu Heng had to accompany Hu Zhengwen to chase girls at night, he didn't go to bed. He took out the antique guide given by the old man and ran to the lamp to read it with relish.
It's late at night and the lights are dim.
The young man was so intoxicated among the books that he almost forgot himself.
The only fly in the ointment is that only the old man snores, and there is no red sleeves to add fragrance.
At around ten o'clock, Hu Zhengwen ran over.
When he entered the room and saw an old man lying on the bed, he was immediately stunned: "Squad leader, who is this man?"
"Relatives from the countryside." Chu Heng was still reading a book without raising his head. He naturally pointed to the empty enamel jar next to him and said, "Pour me a glass of water."
"well."
Hu Zhengwen quickly picked up the iron thermos placed next to the stove and walked forward, filling him with a full glass of water. After wiping himself, he found a cup himself and poured some water from his enamel jar.
After Ziyouyou drank a few cups of tea, seeing that Chu Heng still had no intention of getting up, he couldn't help but start urging: "Squad leader, it's almost eleven o'clock, shall we go?"
"It only takes twenty minutes from my place to the food factory. What are we going to do now? If you are in a hurry, go alone." Chu Heng rolled his eyes at this guy, lowered his head and continued reading.
Hu Zhengwen was afraid that he wouldn't accompany him, so he quickly shut up and didn't dare to push any more. He had to keep his head down and continue to pour water and drink tea. His butt was like sitting on a nail, and he kept twisting there. If it wasn't
That chair is of good quality, but it might fall apart!
After staying up until eleven twenty, Chu Heng slowly put down the book, stood up slowly, stretched his body, and then squinted at the idiot next to him who looked like an ant on a hot pot: "Clothes."
"well!"
Hu Zhengwen quickly took the cotton-padded jacket hanging on the wall and gave it to him.
After getting dressed neatly, the two of them got into the car and set off. They drove at a brisk pace and arrived at the place in less than twenty minutes.
At this time, many people had gathered at the entrance of the food factory, all of them were family members who came to pick up their family members after get off work. A group of people gathered together to chat. There were big melons and small melons flying all over the sky, which was very lively.
