Although Tielin was dissatisfied, the fish had already been separated, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't change the result. He sighed when he thought that grandma's chat box was gone.
"This kid is too angry!"
The old lady smiled and entered the house. After a while, the fragrance wafted out, and the two brothers looked back together.
"Milk, what did you do? It smells so good!"
"There is also a piece of buckwheat sausage at home. Grandma fried it. Is it delicious?"
"Smells, it smells so good!"
After the two brothers finished their work, they entered the house smelling the aroma. The aroma in the outer room was even stronger, and grandma was shoveling buckwheat sausage onto the plate.
"Serve millet porridge, one egg per person."
"Nai, if we stay here for a few more days, you will make us both hungry. If we go home and eat cornbread again, we will miss you to death!"
Tielin stretched his head to the pot and smelled it vigorously. He took the plate and felt a little emotional. Why wasn't his grandma so kind to him?
"I miss you grandma. I'm coming here during the winter vacation. It's just in time for the new year. I sold the big fat and the second fat. Let's keep the third fat for ourselves to eat. Grandma will pull the cloth and make new clothes for you two."
"Milk, you are so kind!"
Tielin was a little moved and hugged the old lady from behind.
Tie Jun lowered his head to serve the porridge and remembered that his grandmother at home only doted on him, the eldest grandson. His younger brothers and sisters had objections and did not dare to go against the elder. He, the eldest brother, was often isolated.
"Hehehe, you are such a scumbag, you really look like Dabao. Stop being so clingy and go to the room to have dinner!"
The old lady patted Tielin's left hand holding hers, thinking of her grandson, and shouted with a smile.
"Milk, from today on, I will be your treasure, as long as you don't think I'm naughty!"
"Just be naughty, a boy is like a little girl, what can he do?"
Tielin held the buckwheat sausage in his right hand and supported the old lady with his left hand. An old man and a young man entered the east room talking and laughing.
Seeing the two people entering the house, Tie Jun sighed softly, feeling a little stinging in his heart.
The three elders in the family, Tie Lin and Da Zhuang, all have bad tempers. They follow Lao Tie especially and get beaten a lot. In their own words, they were all picked up from a big pit.
As for me, I am the only one favored by my grandma and the number two person in the family. Erya is well-behaved and sensible. She is Lao Tie's little cotton-padded jacket and the only flower bone that I have never beaten.
It was good for Tielin to get warmth from the blind grandma. The old lady had hope in her heart and she could live with more energy.
"Boss, where's Gaha? I'm waiting for your porridge!"
"Hey, here we come, the eggs are too slippery to be fished out!"
Tie Jun took a few deep breaths and entered the house with two bowls of porridge.
When we were almost done eating, the loudspeaker in the village shouted.
"Attention, attention, all villagers, attention! After breakfast, take the students to the open space in front of the village committee to gather. There are important instructions, important instructions!"
After shouting several times, Tie Jun asked: "Nai, isn't it about dividing the fish?"
"No, I guess they are asking you to work. These people want you to experience the re-education of the poor and lower-middle peasants so that they can be published in newspapers and so on!"
"Work is work. Our family works every day. The division of labor is clear. Some people don't need it. They just study!"
Tielin burped, stuffed the last piece of buckwheat sausage into his mouth, chewed and purred, and rolled his eyes at Tiejun.
"Second brother, don't have any grudges with your brother. Elder brothers are like fathers. Your brother always cares about you. Don't say such things again in the future. Grandma doesn't like to hear it!"
"Oh, got it!"
Tie Lin made a face at Tie Jun. Tie Jun smiled and lowered his head to clear the table.
Ten minutes later, the open space in front of the village committee was filled with people, including a family of seven or eight people, and as few as two people.
The old party secretary and the young village director stood on the steps, discussing something in a low voice, while the head teacher crossed his legs and counted his students.
"Respond to the national call, implement the spirit of the Municipal Education Commission's documents, remember the hardships and remember the sweetness, labor is the most glorious..."
The old branch secretary nodded, and the village director began to talk. In the final analysis, it was just work, filling out a piece of flat land and turning the Sanchakou into a small square.
Boys and girls were matched, two fellow villagers were in a group, and Tie Jun and Chu Yao were assigned to a group.
Tie Jun was flustered, Tie Lin was muttering, Chu Yao was laughing, and the navy was screaming.
Went home to get tools, a spade, a soil basket, a large flower basket, a group of small carts, and started digging a big hole at the east end of the village next to the old party secretary's house.
The old lady was not allowed to participate in the labor, and she was cooking fish at home with the ugly woman from Chu Yao's family.
When the labor started, Tie Jun was very capable, and Chu Yao had a good impression of him, especially since he always took the work from her hands, which made her feel like she was being cared for.
Haijun tried to find trouble several times, but was glared back by his class teacher. He had no choice but to watch Chu Yao laugh and laugh after Tiejun.
The Air Force failed to catch the chicken, but the Navy didn't say anything. They just cursed "Stupid Pig" and called it a day.
At noon, everyone eats fish. Chu Yao loves to eat fish heads and enjoys eating them while guarding the big fish head. Tie Jun secretly looks at Chu Yao and likes it more and more.
Chu Yao knew that Tie Jun was peeking at her, and thought that Tie Jun was the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, and the school would definitely pay attention to him in the future. Therefore, she also paid attention to him, and smiled charmingly at Tie Jun.
Tie Jun couldn't bear this. His head was buzzing, his face was red, he was panting like a hippopotamus, and his chopsticks were fighting. The old lady reached out and hit Tie Jun.
Tielin snorted when he saw his elder brother's bearish look. It had only been a day since he saw Chu Yao's attitude towards Tie Jun had changed so much. He even despised Chu Yao in his heart.
After lunch, Chu Yao followed the ugly woman home, and Tie Jun walked to the door. He looked at Chu Yao entering the hospital and then happily turned back.
Work resumed at two o'clock in the afternoon. Chu Yao was nicer to Tie Jun. She brought a white towel to wipe Tie Jun's sweat. Tie Lin was offended and the navy scolded her.
At around four o'clock, the old party secretary's son came to direct the digging of the pit. Tiejun heard the fellow villagers scold him in a low voice, saying that they were all digging the pond for the bastard.
Tiejun doesn’t know what it means?
Are you digging a pond to raise a bastard, or are you scolding the old party secretary's son for being a bastard?
Anyway, it's the same, all the work has been done, whether it's raising a tortoise or raising a tortoise, it's probably because he was tricked, and Tie Jun has a new understanding of rural cadres.
"Tie Jun, I'm carrying a camera tonight, can you take me with you? I want to take a photo with Diandian and show it to my parents when I go home!"
"Um!"
Tie Jun and his classmates always cherished words like gold, and even more so with Chu Yao. They stuttered even more than two words. Tie Lin glared at the two of them again.
After returning home, Tielin secretly complained: "Hey, that girl in my class seduces my brother, what should I do?"
"Go, what nonsense are you talking about? It doesn't matter if that girl is sincere. The key is the boss. You can't just look at her pretty face and nice clothes!"
"Miscellaneous, you don't know, they are both working-class children, and they usually look down on us. You gave me the fish this morning, and that's why she did that to my brother.
The main thing is that the changes are too fast, my family is so poor, what is she trying to do, I think she just wants to play tricks on my boss, my wife, don’t you think so?"
"I don't know, just listen to me, don't get involved. If you study well, boss, you'll be fine if you go back to school."
"I hope so, I'm afraid that my brother will suffer!"
Hearing Tie Jun's footsteps, Tie Lin stopped talking, opened the lid of the pot, and took out the big steamed buns.
"Nai, after dinner, Chu Yao brought her camera over and said she would take some more photos for us!"
Tie Jun put down the small kang table and walked out while talking.
