Chapter 4 Chapter 4
Zhao Changming's family went out alone and spread the word in the village for two days. Finally, everyone came to the same conclusion: the old lady was messing around too much, and she should be let her experience being abandoned by her son.
The old lady had offended many people both openly and secretly in the village. If she hadn't seen that it was not easy to raise a child by herself before her, and everyone would not be ashamed to plot against her as a widow, who would want to be angry for nothing.
Now it's all right, Zhao Changming, the most capable person in the village, couldn't bear the old lady going out to live alone, and let everyone who had suffered a lot breathe a sigh of relief.
But this tone has not been smooth for a few years. The narrow-minded people in the village watched Zhao Changming's vegetable basket grow more and more prosperous, and opened several branches, with envy like rabbit eyes.
"Hey, why do you think Zhao Changming is so capable? Take a look, in the few newly built communities in our area, which one of the community's vegetable baskets was not contracted by Zhao Changming... and the one in their house Old lady, yo yo, it’s terrible. When she was thrown away by Zhao Changming a few years ago, she was as depressed as a chick with plague. Look now, I can’t wait to walk around the village on stilts, lest others don’t know It's like her son has made a lot of money!"
"You can go there if you have the ability. The shop is there, and you can just take the money and buy it if you want. What's the use of talking nonsense here?"
"Hey, why are you arguing with me? I'm not talking about you. What's your strength?!"
"All right, all right, stop and stop, just keep arguing about the big things. If you want me to tell you, it's not you who should be most worried, it's..." The woman who was talking winked and pouted to the side. On the road behind her, Zhao Changsheng stomped Seeing the tricycle that Zhao Changming had brought slowly past, "It should be that uncle..."
Everyone suddenly realized that they showed a clear smile, and they were satisfied to reveal this topic.
"father!"
On the second day of the National Day holiday, Zhao Shenglan was kicking shuttlecocks in the yard, when he saw Zhao Changsheng coming in on his bike, he jumped up and down to meet him.She is seven years old this year, and she has just entered the first grade, and she has been in school for just one month.
"Did Dad buy something delicious?" Zhao Shenglan turned over the back of the tricycle, and there were only a few handfuls of vegetables and a silver carp about two catties in it.
"Shall we eat braised fish tonight?" Zhao Changsheng took the dishes out from the back of the rusty tricycle and walked to the kitchen.The kitchen was remodeled from the partial house where Zhao Changming and the others lived.
"Why are you buying fish again? Don't you know that Shenglan doesn't like fish?!" Gu Xiaoxiao was not very happy, she gave Zhao Changsheng a blank look, but still took the fish and started to clean it up.
The question she asked was completely superfluous, and she could even ask and answer by herself: "Of course it's because the fish is the cheapest..."
Their village is along a river, and there is nothing in the adjacent land boundary, except that there are many fish ponds, and there are more big silver carp than vegetables grown on the ground.
"Mom, I don't want to eat fish..." Zhao Shenglan was next to her, shaking her two braids and acting coquettishly. Whoever said something in the family made her clear up a long time ago. If she wants to eat meat, it must be her mother who decides .
Although Gu Xiaoxiao resented the old lady's preference for sons over daughters, she was still her own daughter, and she still really loved her.
"Okay, okay, don't shake me..." She got up and washed her hands under the faucet in the yard, wiped her apron, and started to take out her trouser pockets.
Zhao Shenglan's eyes were fixed on the money in her mother's hand. After a few bills were tossed about in her mother's hand for a while, she finally got her wish and got the money for eating meat at night.
On the way she and Zhao Changsheng went to buy meat, Zhao Changsheng asked jokingly, "Girl, how do you know that your mother will definitely give you money to buy meat?"
"Because today is number two, my second uncle just sent money to my mother yesterday." Zhao Shenglan licked the lollipop he just bought in his hand, and said as a matter of course.
Although Zhao Changsheng is useless, men have self-esteem.Whether his daughter's words were intentional or unintentional, he felt that his dignity as a man had been hit.
He ate dinner in silence, without touching a single chopstick of the braised pork.
"Who are you showing your ugly face to?!" Gu Xiaoxiao cleaned up the dishes and yelled at Zhao Changsheng, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV: "I still have to look at your face when I serve you delicious food. I owe it to you." What the hell is wrong with you!"
"Noisy, noisy, you know how to yell at me all day long!" Zhao Changsheng was depressed, but Gu Xiaoxiao slammed into the muzzle of the gun, which immediately ignited his anger. "Look at Xiaoyun, you don't even have any tenderness, and you expect me to make offerings to Lafayette every day?!"
The two of them had a small quarrel every three days, and a big quarrel every five days. They lived an uncomfortable life. It is also good for physical and mental health to vent out after arguing, but Gu Xiaoxiao's dead point is absolutely unmentionable. knife.
Wang Zhiyun was born in an educated family, a real high school student, and he is one of the best educated people in his village.After Zhao Nan turned one year old, Wang Zhiyun, encouraged by Zhao Changming, continued to study and passed the teacher qualification certificate. Last year, Wang Zhiyun was formally hired as a teacher by the primary school in his village. He taught the first-grade children of Zhao Shenglan and Zhao Nan.
When Gu Xiaoxiao thought that she was exhausted at home every day after serving the young and the old, but Wang Zhiyun wore fashionable clothes, rode a bicycle to work every day, and took Zhao Nan along the way. .
However, Zhao Changming didn't deduct a penny from the old lady, and Wang Zhiyun also gave the old lady good food and clothes during the holidays.There is also her daughter, the little girl is smart and competitive, learning the Tao, Wang Zhiyun has tutored Zhao Shenglan alone many times, and suggested that according to Zhao Shenglan's current learning ability, she can try to skip the first level next year.
Gu Xiaoxiao finished these thoughts in his mind in an instant, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Shenglan lying at the door furtively.
"Hey... Whatever you say, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you." Gu Xiaoxiao went out and pinched Zhao Shenglan's little face: "I just have my daughter..."
Zhao Shenglan spent a holiday at home awkwardly, and finally waited until school started, running like a little rabbit.
"Shenglan, Shenglan, slow down..."
"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me, you can't catch up with me!"
Zhao Nan and Zhao Feng looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads helplessly.
"Brother Xiaofeng, when do you think my silly little sister will grow up? I'm so worried." Zhao Nan embraced her with both hands, her immature fleshy face was full of inscrutable.
Although Zhao Feng was one year older than Zhao Nan, he did not have a registered permanent residence, and that bastard father was unwilling to pay for Zhao Feng to go to school. Qu Wanting went out to do odd jobs day and night to pay the tuition fee, plus Zhao Feng just entered the school after Wang Zhiyun walked around the school, so now Zhao Feng and Zhao Nan are in the same seat.
Standing beside Zhao Nan, Zhao Feng didn't expose him, and continued to follow what he wanted to hear: "Yeah, I have to rely on you, the big brother, to watch more. Otherwise, the little girl will poke around everywhere if she is ignorant. Lou Zi will be in trouble..."
"Don't worry Brother Xiaofeng, I will definitely protect Shenglan well." Zhao Nan patted his chubby chest and vowed, "I will protect Brother Xiaofeng too, don't be afraid!"
In the next half of the semester, the little warrior kept his promise personally.Boys are not allowed to approach Zhao Shenglan, others are not allowed to copy Zhao Shenglan's homework, Zhao Shenglan is not allowed to eat more candy, etc...
All kinds of prohibitions made Zhao Shenglan finally explode: "Ahhh, Zhao Nan, if you do this again, I will tell my aunt that you bully me!"
Zhao Nan didn't like this, he believed his mother wouldn't believe Zhao Shenglan's false report.
In the end, Zhao Shenglan didn't make a small report, but still managed to get rid of Zhao Nan's little tail.
The reason was a secret deal between her and Zhao Feng in the middle of the night.
"Three lollipops, no more!"
"Five."
"Then, then I'll add one more, four..."
Zhao Feng shook five fingers calmly: "If you don't mind not being able to make friends in school in the future, I don't want any of them."
"Don't, don't, okay...five is five." Zhao Shenglan was so distressed that he handed the sweaty lollipop to Zhao Feng, "This is all I have in stock, you have to do what you say arrive."
Zhao Feng turned around leisurely, and threw Zhao Shenglan, who was reluctant to part with the lollipop she had just lost, by the dark river.
After the deal was concluded, Zhao Feng began to implement the plan.His method was to boil the frog in warm water, which did not suddenly interrupt Zhao Nan's attention to Shenglan.
Rather, every time Zhao Nan intends to impose 'no' on Shenglan, Zhao Feng will always disturb Zhao Nan with some small things.
It started with 'I lost my pencil, can you lend me one? ', followed by 'I don't know this question, can you tell me about it? ', the big move is 'I suddenly feel uncomfortable, can you stay with me? '.
Every time Zhao Nan stayed by Zhao Feng's side and forgot about Shenglan, Zhao Feng would 'reward' Zhao Nan with a lollipop he got from Zhao Shenglan.
A few weeks later, Zhao Nan, who was always inseparable from Zhao Shenglan, completely stuck to Zhao Feng's side.
"Aunt!"
After school in the evening, Zhao Nan took Zhao Feng to the office to find Wang Zhiyun.
"Xiao Feng is here too," Wang Zhiyun opened the drawer, took out two pieces of hawthorn cake, and gave each of them a piece.
Zhao Nan peeled off the wrapping paper repeatedly, put a whole piece in his mouth and chewed vigorously.
"Mom, is it okay for Xiaohong Jinwa to live with you?" After he finished speaking inarticulately, he grabbed Zhao Feng's hand.
"Of course. You two go home first, and I will go back after I finish writing this lesson plan. I will make delicious food for you!"
Zhao Nan cheered and dragged Zhao Feng out of the office. On the way, he used his pocket money to buy a stick of boiled gluten for him and Zhao Feng at the school gate.
It's cold in winter, and students like to eat warm boiled gluten.Ten centimeters of round gluten are threaded on bamboo sticks and cooked thoroughly in an electric rice cooker. The boss seasoned the soup, and the gluten can be eaten out of the pot.
The honeycomb-covered gluten is full of soup, and the juice splashes in the mouth after one bite, and then the gluten is elastic, and finally chewed carefully, the unique vegetable protein aroma of soy products reverberates in the mouth, it is really delicious!
Zhao Nan's appetite is on standby 24 hours a day. Any food is a loud bugle to him, and his appetite is in place in a second.
He finished the hot gluten in three mouthfuls, biting a bamboo stick and hitting his mouth.
Zhao Nan glanced at the gluten that Zhao Feng just took a bite out of, frowned and shook his head, trying to pull his gaze back.
"Nannan, if you don't mind me biting, this is for you to eat."
Zhao Feng didn't ask Zhao Nan if he wanted to eat, because he knew Zhao Nan well.
Zhao Nan only bought two, which means that he only has enough money to buy two. If he had more money, he would buy more.And no matter how many sticks he buys, Zhao Nan will give him half of them.
The nature of the foodie and Zhao Nan looking at the gluten in his hands with pain in his eyes, there is no suspense that Zhao Nan still wants to eat.
"Then... I don't dislike it!" Zhao Nan took off the gluten that Zhao Feng brought to his mouth in one gulp, and after chewing it was delicious, she strode forward with her arms around Zhao Feng's shoulders.
The signature in his hand became his brush, and he drew something randomly in mid-air. While drawing, he happily announced the name of the dish: "Braised pig's trotters, stewed old duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried noodles! I will let me Mom made it for brother Xiaofeng to eat once! No, one time is not enough, it needs to be done many times!"
