Chapter 75 The people of Qin cover the sun
The third uncle thought for a while, and if he really wants to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden opposite, this time should be available.
“Honey, when you asked Jie Cheng to do something, would he give it to you when you went to the vegetable garden to order food?”
“I don’t think Xiao Zhu is stingy, so he should, right? This can save a lot of food."
The couple looked at each other and were both a little surprised. This is a good idea.
"As the head of the family, you are the one with many ideas and a good brain."
Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, who were helping to clear the table, turned their heads and looked at their parents. The third uncle raised the Three Kingdoms in his hands.
"I learned all this from books. Reading is wise and sensible, so study hard."
The two brothers and sisters nodded seriously.
…………
Jia's family in the Zhongyuan
Banggen was having an quarrel. Now that Qin Huairu was gone, Jia Zhang made some porridge and steamed some steamed buns with Erhe noodles. She couldn't even fry a single green vegetable and cut it. Eat some pickles to deal with it.
The smell of fish and meat outside makes Banggan restless. What kind of food is being eaten at home...
"Grandma, I want to eat meat too, I want it too. Eat fish..."
Xiao Dang whispered, I also...
Jia Zhang made a bitter face, this is too much to force others to do, not to mention that there is no fish or meat, even if there is some, he will not do it. will do.
"My dear grandson, your mother didn't leave a penny behind when she left. What will grandma do with you? Let's wait until your mother comes back."
"Grandma, what are you talking about? It's full of oil, I don't care, I want it."
"This is not vegetable oil, you can see that my mouth is broken, this is clam oil..."
Jia It took Mrs. Zhang a long time to calm down her precious grandson, then she lowered her head and scolded him.
"Damn Zhu Xuefeng, I curse your whole family to eat rotten intestines. This is all the money of our old Jia family..."
...
It has become dark, in the middle courtyard It was obviously much quieter than the front yard and the backyard. No one was chatting or walking around in the yard. Only the leaves of the locust tree were blown by the wind and rustled occasionally.
The lights are still on in Yi Zhonghai's house in the east wing. The light shines through the unclear glass, making it look a little dim.
In the private room, an aunt was wiping something at the dining table. In front of her was her husband, who was lying on a recliner, slowly massaging her temples. She was mentally and physically exhausted these days, her blood pressure was unstable, and she kept feeling a sudden bump on her forehead.
The eldest mother looked at her husband in a daze, and it took a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak.
"Old Yi, don't you don't want to hear what I have to say. I've been holding it in for a few days."
Yi Zhonghai put down his hands, supported the recliner, and turned his head to look Look at the aunt.
"What's the matter? You can't go out of the compound, so what kind of gossip have you heard?"
"Tell me, are you worth this? I heard about Jia Dongxu and sent myself to the loading and unloading team.”
After a pause, he sighed again.
“Why is he so uneasy?”
Yi Zhonghai didn’t say anything. This shit was embarrassing to say, and Lao Wang didn’t even save face for himself, so now The young people in the workshop are difficult to manage.
"I can't control him now. It's only a matter of half a year. It will pass if I endure it. By then, it will not be the same as before."
Yi Zhonghai bit the bullet and fought hard. Sloppy eyes.
"What's the matter? I used to be sneaky and sneaky, but now I'm blatantly hiding out. I think this kid is useless."
Yi Zhonghai was said to be worried, and he was a little worried. Impatient.
"Okay, don't talk about him. When he comes out to work again and has a family to support, I don't believe he is still like this. He is probably worried about the labor camp now." "How can you not talk about him? Twice before and after, I almost wiped out the family’s capital. Didn’t you say that I bought all the old lady’s belongings?”
Speaking of the old lady, Yi. Zhonghai was obviously even more irritable and lost his usual calm demeanor at all. What happened? The price he paid was higher than that on the black market. If he couldn't find a way out, who would want to offend this old lady? All in this compound. Not as powerful as the old lady.
"Don't worry about the old lady's affairs. Just take care of us. We can live this life."
Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes, stacked his feet, crossed his hands on his chest, and tried to calm down. My blood pressure shot up immediately, and my temples bulged fiercely.
After a long while, there was no movement behind, so I couldn't help but open my eyes, sat up, and looked back, I saw that the aunt had tears all over her face.
"Oh, what's going on? Is this the only thing that matters?"
My tone has slowed down a lot, but my heart is still depressed.
Seeing the eldest mother shaking her head and saying nothing.
"Honey, I am anxious and have a bad temper. I will change it. Let's not talk about it today."
......
"I said the boss "What you said about Jia Dongxu seems weird."
The third aunt started to clean up the house, and the boss had disappeared long ago. He must have gone to find Huang Xiaojuan, and his wife picked up the book again. I have been reading the book for many days.
"Let's not get involved in this matter. Jia Dongxu's punishment is probably not cheap. You also saw Director Wang from the street, directly pulling Zhu Xuefeng into the house."
"It doesn't seem to be the case. It’s a fuel-efficient lamp, just look at it. This time I heard that Jia Dongxu refused to obey the labor reform and changed places. Just wait and see, there will definitely be fun.”
The third uncle put down his book and squinted again. I need to rest my eyes for a while. The light of this light bulb is still a bit poor. Just use it. It consumes too much electricity. This kind of learning makes people happy. I really gain a lot from reading by myself.
......
After hurrying slowly all the way, Qin Huairu finally arrived home not long after it got dark.
The conditions of Lao Qin's family are not good, there is no decent furniture in the house, the whole main room only has a table and a few benches. On the gable at the entrance are portraits of two great men. Behind the gable is the kitchen. Now every house is no longer open to fire and is full of debris.
With the faint light, I looked at my mother lying on the kang. Her cheeks were slightly red, and the rest of her body was earthy gray. She looked half-dead, and her breathing was very weak.
Qin Huairu touched her forehead with her hand. She felt a little feverish. She put it on her forehead to compare. It was not too high.
Looking back, his father, brother and sister-in-law were watching. Qin’s father’s lips had blistered, and they were red and black.
“Dad, what’s wrong with my mother?”
It turned out that Qin's mother came back from doing farm work a few days ago. The weather was too hot. To save time, she walked through the woods, which were filled with cemeteries from nearby villages. The cool breeze made Qin's mother stop sweating and she felt quite comfortable at that time. .
I collapsed after going home for lunch. I had a low fever, which changed to a high fever every midnight. The medicine given by the health team was not enough. Qin’s father was so anxious that his mouth blistered and he was sent to the district in Changping. I spent several dollars at the hospital, but it didn't work. The doctor said that I should send him to the city, where the medical conditions are better, and he could do a check-up or something, so that he could get the right medicine.
The road to the city is high and far away, and the key is that he doesn’t have much money in his pocket. Father Qin knows that there is a man named "Huang Shenxian" nearby. He heard that he can split characters very accurately. Of course, he doesn't dare to do it now. Did it.
So I borrowed the bicycle from the team and walked more than ten miles to beg the "Huang Immortal" secretly. I went to Huang's house and told her about the situation. I begged for a long time, but they ignored me.
Finally, Father Qin was cruel and gritted his teeth and took out the last dollar. "Huang Shenxian" took it and put it in his pocket without even looking at it. Then he glanced at Father Qin.
"You write a word and I will read it."
Dad Qin saw that the Spring Festival couplets on his door had not fallen off, so he wrote the word "spring".
"Huang Shenxian" looked at it for a long time and said: "This character is 'Qin people cover the sun'. The top is the prefix 'Qin', the middle is the character '人', the bottom is the character '日', Qin People cover the sun, half-covered and half-uncovered. Although it cannot be covered, it is difficult to see the clear sky. There is no way." After saying this, he closed his eyes and ignored Father Qin.
When he heard that there was nothing he could do, Father Qin became anxious. He was about to leave. Thinking that his wife had gone to the cemetery, he became even more worried. He refused to speak even if he asked others, as if he could not reveal the secret. Similar.
I had no choice but to go home, and quickly called Qin Huairu to discuss it together. After all, this girl had been in the city for so many years, so she should be able to help. With the conditions of her son's family, they couldn't count on it.
