It is said that the old lady has become confused because of her age, but she still knows everything and has not forgotten anything.
Whether it's old stories or recent events, she can list them all for you.
But if you want to say that she hasn't changed at all, that's not necessarily true.
Just like this time, he was acting like a child and was very difficult to deal with. He couldn't say harsh words and had to be coaxed.
Old child, old child, is what the old lady is in now.
"Xiao Ning, why don't you eat? Hurry up and eat."
Seeing Grandma Xie bringing out another large plate of food and urging Zhang Yu to eat quickly, Zhang Yu had no choice but to turn his attention to Grandpa Xie, the only reliable person in the family.
Facing his eldest grandson's look for help, Grandpa Xie was far more reliable than his two sons.
He waved his hand and said directly: "Old lady, don't let the child hold on until he's full."
When Grandma Xie heard this, she really stopped picking up the food, and turned to look at her husband with wide eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with him for interrupting her feeding her eldest grandson.
However, Grandpa Xie is indeed the most reliable man in the family. He actually managed to hold on and was not defeated by Grandma Xie.
"The child is no longer young. How can he not know whether he has eaten enough? Don't let the child hold on until he is full. What if something goes wrong if he overfeeds?"
Grandma Xie curled her lips, but still stopped picking up the food.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Xiaoyu, tell grandma when you are hungry. Grandma has something to eat."
Zhang Yu nodded repeatedly: "Well, well, well!"
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Where Grandma Xie couldn't see her, she gave Grandpa Xie a thumbs up.
Grandpa Xie looked proud, what the hell.
Just when clearing the table, looking at the rice left in the rice bowl, Grandma Xie felt a little "relapsed".
She murmured in a low voice: "Xiaoyu's appetite is still too small. When the children in the eldest and second family were as old as him, they would start with five or six bowls per meal. He just ate 4 bowls now, and then he started eating
No more."
After hearing his wife's words, Grandpa Xie couldn't help but press his swollen forehead and explained: "Su Qin, have you forgotten that our family has replaced new bowls this year? The bowl we used before was only a little bigger, and the bowl we are using now is smaller than
If it's bigger, it must be at least half of it. With such a big bowl, the eldest brother and the second child can only eat two bowls at most at one time. Xiaoyu has already eaten 4 bowls, which is already a big appetite."
As soon as these words came out, Grandma Xie seemed to be suddenly awakened.
Zhang Yu slapped his thigh fiercely: "Oh! I'm confused."
Then he looked at Zhang Yu with a concerned look on his face: "Xiaoyu, why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you panicking?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yu to answer, he ordered his eldest son: "Boss, go to Dr. Li's place quickly and ask him if he has hawthorn pills."
Zhang Yu hurriedly stood up to stop: "Grandma, I'm fine, I'll digest it in a while."
You know what's going on with your body.
With his appetite, if he hadn't eaten so many eggs and goose eggs fried with an iron spoon before eating, he might not be able to finish even if he had another bowl of rice.
Of course, Zhang Yu had to admit that in addition to the four large bowls of rice, the reason why he was so full now was also due to the dishes that his grandma served him during meals.
"Is everything okay?" Grandma Xie looked at her grandson with some worry.
"I'm really fine, grandma. You don't have to worry about it like this. I digest it quickly and I won't be able to hold it for a while."
Hearing that her grandson was fine, Grandma Xie was relieved at first, and then she couldn't help complaining to Grandpa Xie: "Old man, it's true, I don't remember, and you don't remember either, why didn't you remind me earlier?
"
Grandpa Xie has long been accustomed to his wife blaming this matter on himself in the end.
I have been taking the blame all my life, and I have long been used to it.
After finally coaxing Grandma Xie, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the name of going out for a walk to eat, I took the hound Dahei and prepared to go out.
"Bring a flashlight." Grandma Xie shouted loudly from behind.
"I understand, grandma, you should rest early. I won't be away for long and will be back soon. Don't worry, I'm taking Dahei with me."
After leaving the gate, Zhang Yu quietly stuffed two pieces of dried meat into Dahei.
"Wang Ming~, Wang Wu~..."
Feeling the dried meat in his mouth, his big black eyes lit up and he started chewing hurriedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there's more!"
Seeing Dahei's devouring behavior, Zhang Yu quickly stuffed another piece into its mouth.
Dahei kept wagging his tail while eating.
He watched quietly from the sidelines, and waited until Dahei finished eating, then stepped forward and patted its head.
"Come on, Dahei, let's go for a walk."
As if he understood what he said, Dahei said "Wow~" and took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Yu.
Although it wasn't too dark yet, Zhang Yu didn't plan to go far. He just planned to take a walk nearby to eat and then go back.
Thinking of digestion, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed.
This time when he came here, he really felt the changes in the Xie family.
I don’t know if it’s because several of the younger members of the family have jobs, ostensibly they have income, and they have reasons to use many things. Compared with the last time I came here, the situation of the Xie family is much better now.
Apart from anything else, at least in terms of food, it is much better now than before.
At a time when everyone is eating five or six layers of food, or even three or four layers of food, the Xie family still has a surplus of food.
The big pot of rice simmered today is the best proof.
Although part of the reason is that Grandma Xie loves him so much and wants him to return to the capital to eat more good food that she is so willing to do so.
But it is undeniable that even if you love him and want him to eat more refined food, you have to have it at home.
Of course, the reason why the Xie family has undergone such a big change may have something to do with the situation when he came here last time.
The last time I came here was during a difficult time, and there was no food everywhere.
In many places, you may not be able to buy food with money.
The Xie family is not short of money, but they lack ways to buy food. They also lack ways to make money openly.
Things are getting better now, and several of my cousins have jobs.
Now that the Xie family has a clear source of income, they will no longer arouse suspicion when bringing things home.
As for how much, the Xie family can figure it out themselves.
Just when Zhang Yu was immersed in chaotic thoughts and random thoughts, Dahei, who was walking in front of him, suddenly raised his head and let out a low and alert bark.
Zhang Yu immediately became alert. He looked around, trying to find out what caused Dahei's vigilance.
However, apart from the occasional chirping of birds in the distance and the gentle breeze rustling through the leaves, he found no signs of anything unusual.
The road was quiet and empty, as if everything was normal.
But when he lowered his head to look at Dahei, he saw Dahei's two ears standing high, capturing the subtle vibrations in the air as accurately as radar.
The big black eyes shone with vigilance in the night, obviously they had caught some subtle changes.
"Dahei, did you discover something?" Zhang Yu asked softly, trying to get more clues from Dahei's reaction.
Just as he finished speaking, a faint movement came from the front. Although it was slight, it seemed particularly clear in the quiet evening.
Zhang Yu instantly became alert and subconsciously tightened the flashlight in his hand.
As the sound got closer and closer, Zhang Yu also heard what seemed to be human footsteps.
He raised his head and glanced at the place where the sound came from. It was the hill where he had roasted rabbit for dinner during the day.
At this point, why are there still people who have just come down from the mountain?
Although there is nothing dangerous on the hill, it is still a mountain, with bushes, ditches, and bumps. You may fall if you are not careful during the day.
Even with flashlights, few people would still be on the mountain at this point.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu intuitively felt that there was something going on here.
He patted Dahei gently, indicating that the other party should be silent, and then pulled Dahei back to hide.
However, before he could hide, a man sneaked down the hill.
When the man walked to where Zhang Yu was just now, he suddenly stopped.
Just when Zhang Yu thought he had discovered him, the other party left without looking back.
Zhang Yu did not move, but looked thoughtfully at the direction the other party was leaving.
If he saw it correctly, that flashing thing in the opponent's pocket was a little goldfish, right?
In the direction the other party went, there were only two houses.
Except for the doctor in the village, another family seems to be named Feng.
Speaking of these two families, they are both of the few surnames in the village, and they all moved here after they fled.
Compared to the Feng family, it is obviously easier for the Li family, who have ancestral medical skills, to integrate into the Xie family.
The man looked to be in his 30s. As far as Zhang Yu knew, apart from the old man who had medical skills, the Li family only had an eldest grandson who was seventeen or eighteen years old.
So the other party is definitely not the Li family.
Since it's not the Li family, it must be the Feng family. Speaking of which, the second oldest child in the Feng family seems to be this old.
Zhang Yu has gained a lot from hanging out with a few old men and old ladies in the past few days. At least he has listened to the gossip in the village.
For example, now he knows the situation of the Feng family even without asking anyone.
It has only been eleven or twelve years since the Feng family came to the Xie family's brigade to fight.
The Feng family gave birth to a total of eight or nine children, but due to various natural and man-made disasters, only two boys survived in the end.
The eldest couple gave birth to 3 daughters and 2 sons in total. These children were all born after they settled in the Xie family brigade. They were lucky enough to have all the children raised.
Mr. Feng's family is honest and honest, and everyone is hard-working and willing to work. Basically, the couple can earn full work points. Sometimes when the farming season is busy, they can even earn fifteen work points a day.
There is no lazy person in the family. Even the girl in the family who is just over ten years old can earn four to five centimeters a day.
The two youngest boys in the family do not enjoy many benefits because of their status as boys, and they also have to do a lot of work every day.
You can earn one or two work points just by weeding pigweed for the village.
Logically speaking, for such a diligent family, even if they are not as good as those above, they are still more than enough.
But Boss Feng and his family are living a miserable life. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are soaked in coptis water.
The root of all this lies with Feng Laoer.
Zhang Yu thought that when Zhang Yu mentioned this matter, several old ladies could not help but shake their heads.
Speaking of which, the old couple of the Feng family are also strange. The eldest son, who is down-to-earth, hard-working and filial, does not like him. He has a lot of problems, is extremely lazy, never does anything serious, and hangs out with a bunch of second-rate people all day long, but they dislike the second son Feng.
Everyone in the village shakes their head when mentioning Feng Laoer.
He is over thirty and no girl is willing to marry him.
The family finally spent a lot of money to get him a wife, but within half a year she ran away with a salesman because she couldn't stand his domestic violence.
After such a big thing, he didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't feel ashamed at all. He should still eat, drink, and fool around with others.
When working, one day is spent fishing and three days are spent drying nets.
An old man only earns four or five work points a day, which is not as much as his niece, who is just over ten years old.
In short, in the eyes of the villagers, Feng Laoer is an out-and-out lazy man.
But they couldn't bear the partiality of the old couple. They treated the eldest son's family like nothing but their second son as their treasure.
A man in his thirties still has to rely on his parents, brother and sister-in-law to support him.
Logically speaking, even if this were the case, the villagers would not be so disgusted with Feng Laoer.
However, Feng Laoer has a bad reputation in the village. You are ostracized, but you are really not a bad person in the village. They all blame him for not doing human affairs.
To this day, there is still a legend in the village that he asked his nephew, who was only four or five years old, to wash his underwear.
That's all, I can only say that he is surprisingly lazy.
But another thing he did made the villagers intolerable.
That incident happened a few years ago. At that time, in order to raise money for drinking, he had an idea from his eldest niece and a child from the village.
No, we can’t say that we have made up our minds, but that we have already taken action.
If the villagers hadn't been more cautious at that time, I'm afraid his eldest niece would have sold him to someone else as a child bride.
Every household in the village has children, but there is no room for people like him.
After this incident broke out, the villagers unanimously decided to hand the person over to the public.
That is to say, the old couple of the Feng family went from house to house kowtowing to people, drinking until their heads were bleeding, and everyone couldn't bear it. In addition, there was really no big incident at that time, and the targets of his attacks were also members of his own family, so they reluctantly spared him.
.
Since then, villagers have often told their children not to play at the end of the village, let alone in front of Feng's house.
Beware of being abducted by a philanderer, and you will never see your parents again.
After being beaten to death by the villagers, Feng Laoer did not dare to have any ideas about his children anymore.
But dogs can't change their eating poop.
Feng Laoer didn't dare to touch the child, and he learned how to sneak around.
He knew that the people in Xie's brigade were united, so he didn't dare to attack in the village, but there had been reports of things being thrown away from several nearby brigade in recent years.
That is to say, no one was caught doing it, otherwise the Feng family would be implicated again.
Zhang Yu would say, this Feng Laoer is really a troublemaker.
Not only did it disturb the peace of the Feng family, but it also affected the reputation of the brigade.
Zhang Yu rubbed Dahei's head, his mind running rapidly.
He was sure that he saw it correctly. What was in the other party's pocket was definitely a small goldfish.
So the question is, where did Feng Laoer get the little goldfish?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu turned his attention to the hill.
