Mi Xiaodie said that her business is actually to perform in the south in winter and in the north in summer.
Sui's mother said that Mi called Mi Lu through the loudspeaker, but Liu Shengli didn't respond. Tie Jun laughed and looked at the two people staring at her, so he quickly explained.
"Oh, I'm laughing at Mi Xiaodie. She said her father is a rich man and his business covers most of China. So that's what he meant."
"What's so funny? Do you know what life is like for a grown man to support five children? If you are still laughing, if it were my children, I would have beaten you up a long time ago!"
Tie Jun shrank his neck, not daring to talk back. He was still thinking about the Yugoslavian coach who led the Chinese football team to the World Cup and had a short instant noodle haircut.
"Where is Mi Xiaodie's mother?"
Liu Shengli asked Tie Jun the question he wanted to ask, and Sui Ma shook her head.
"She died. She was carrying her seven-month-old fifth child on her back at the time. The fourth child was three years old at the time. She was sitting next to her mother crying..."
"Wait a minute, Broken Mom, what do you mean by what you said? Did Sister Mi Xiaodie... Uncle Mi pick them up?"
Liu Shengli and Tie Jun looked shocked. Liu Shengli couldn't hold it back and interrupted Sui Ma's words.
"Not only the two of them, the three babies were also picked up by Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao has been single all his life..."
"That's not because of you, damn girl, you still have the nerve to talk about it here!"
I don't know when, Mi Xiaodie helped Grandma Tong to the door, and Grandma Tong continued what her mother said.
"Grandma, I'm bringing my friends to see you!"
Liu Shengli quickly stood up and spoke.
"Just say "chew the rice", Mo Saoqing! Baby, listen to Xiaodie, you are a kind-hearted person who went into the house with grandma to talk."
Grandma Tong insulted Liu Shengli again, and then greeted Tie Jun with a smile.
"Grandma Tong, your body is really strong. Are you eighty this year?"
Tie Jun glanced at Mi Xiaodie, whose eyes were swollen like fish bubbles, stood up and walked to Grandma Tong.
"Hehehe, you are still eighty? Grandma is ninety-one this year."
"Ah? I was even afraid that you would scold me and call you old when I was 80 years old. You look too young!"
"Hey, you're such a naughty kid!"
After Grandma Tong finished speaking, she patted Mi Xiaodie's hand, and the two of them turned around and returned to the living room. Tie Jun followed, thinking in his mind that Sao Qing was probably just trying to flatter him.
The five of them entered the room and sat down around the round table. After chatting for a while, Grandma Tong picked up the topic.
"Since Xiaodie wants to hear what happened when she was young, I will tell you about it."
"Mom, don't talk about the amount, there are more than 60 people here..."
Sui Ma protested in dialect.
"You go to the leech field!"
Grandma Tong picked up the scissors on the round table and tried to smash Mommy, but Mommy snorted and hid quickly.
"Hehe, grandma, what's going on with me?"
When Sui Ma went out, Mi Xiaodie hugged Grandma Tong and asked.
"Well, later on, it was because your eldest sister became an adult."
"Ah? Because of my eldest sister?"
"Well, in the past, our family and your Da family were both in Xijing, as well as your father's family. Your father's name was Shuisheng. His mother gave birth to him while fishing, so he was called Shuisheng."
"Hehe, then my name is Milu. I won't make the sound next to the stove, right?"
Mi Xiaodie's shy appearance confuses Tie Jun. People really have two sides. It seems that Mi Xiaodie's old-fashioned and choking side is because she is not familiar with him.
Grandma Tong smiled and scratched Mi Xiaodie's nose.
"Among the five children, you are the smartest, or you could be admitted to Tsinghua University!
It was not that he was born next to the stove, but when he went to the temple to beg for a son, his mother had fetal contractions and gave birth to him in the thatched hut in the backyard, so he was named "Lu".
Youda and Shuisheng are the same age, and your mother is three years younger than them. The three of us live on the same street and all have shops.
Our family is a tailor shop, your Da family is a rice shop, and Shuisheng family is a blacksmith shop.
When you were eight years old, you and Shui Sheng studied under Hu Erxian of Huamanlou."
"I know this. I said that his master is a great artist, and his special skills are erhu and suona.
I said, when he played the suona, all the birds came to worship him.
Playing the erhu makes even the colorful dogs and tortoises shed tears along with the people."
Mi Xiaodie interjected with bright eyes. Grandma Tong gave a cut and then scraped Mi Xiaodie's nose.
"How else could you learn the suona? He is really good at playing it, how could it be so mysterious!
I have also heard that it is true that birds come and chirp, and I have not seen tortoises and dogs shed tears, but it is also true that people who play erhu make people feel uncomfortable.
At that time, grandma was much more handy than she is now. Not only was she good at making clothes, but my mother also taught her how to cut paper. As long as her eyes could see it, grandma could make it.
As soon as night came, you Da and Shuisheng gathered around me, blowing and pulling, and your mother was cutting paper on the side, which was very lively.
When they grew up, both Youda and Shuisheng fell in love with your mother. As for me, I liked Youda from the bottom of my heart. He was kind and kind-hearted.
As for Shuisheng, his body bones are too thin, probably because he plays the erhu, and he always looks sad all day long, and he doesn’t have the confidence to speak."
"Grandma, does my mother like me too?"
"Well, I just need to get under the covers!"
"Mom! Don't talk about this!"
Broken mother shouted in the yard.
"Okay, this paragraph will be deleted!"
Grandma Tong was very funny. Tie Jun listened with rapt attention and moved his chair forward unconsciously. Mi Xiaodie glanced at Tie Jun.
"Boss Tie, if you know my family's secrets, don't spread them around!"
Mi Xiaodie issued a warning, and Tie Jun smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong with that? You don't want to find your husband's family anymore?"
Grandma Tong helped Tie Jun speak. Liu Shengli looked at Tie Jun with amusement, and then at Mi Xiaodie.
"When you were 18 years old, you got engaged to your broken mother. Not long after, Hu Erxian took him and Shuisheng to explore the outside world, going to Peking, Tianjin, Shanghai...
Two years later, they came back, and you brought back a Shanghai girl, six or seven months old, who was your eldest sister, Xiaofeng.
"No wonder the eldest sister is so stingy and bourgeois. We don't dare to touch her things. Even Xiao Wu is afraid of the eldest sister. It turns out that she is the eldest lady of Shanghai!"
"Your eldest sister is more than twenty years older than you. By the time you met you two, she was already married. How can you live your life without being stingy?"
Mi Xiaodie chuckled, and Grandma Tong continued: "Seeing you Da bring back a baby, your mother was very anxious, and she didn't listen to your explanation, insisting that he was with another woman.
I know you are not that kind of person. Seeing how much trouble your mother was making, I reached out and slapped her. It was better this time because she was beaten away.
I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that she was just out of anger and wandered outside for a while before going home.
Unexpectedly, she didn't come back at night. Now we were all panicked. There was a chaos of war outside, so we didn't want anything to happen again.
Our two families went out to search all over Xijing City, but no one was found. Later, a distant relative said that he seemed to have been taken away by some military lords.
At that time, the liberation was not yet over, and the biggest official in Xijing was Hu Zongnan, director of the Office of Appeasement. I thought of his second uncle Shuisheng at that time, who was working in the office.
We scraped together two small yellow croakers and asked Shuisheng and his second uncle to help inquire. At that time, Shuisheng also followed us.
Although they found someone and got her out, who would have thought that Shuisheng would tell your mother that your eldest sister was the son of a woman from a theater in Shanghai that you had married.
Your mother actually believed it and ran away with Shuisheng, saying she was going to find the People's Liberation Army and never come back."
Sobbing could be heard in the yard, Grandma Tong sighed, Mi Xiaodie ran out and helped Sui Ma in, who was leaning against the door and eavesdropping.
