Siheyuan: starting from the game of life

"I can spend money to buy these things just to tell you that I can now reduce the burden on you and Sister Yushui."

He Yu'an looked at He Yuzhu, and said to him seriously.

"In those few years, I went to school because of your tuition fees so that I could study hard. Now it's time for me to repay you."

He and An said, and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.The expression is very emotional. "And now I'm an adult too. So remember to discuss anything with me at home."

He looked up at He Yuzhu.I found that his expression was also complicated and emotional.

He Yuan brought over the bag containing the buns.He took four out of it and put them on a plate aside.

"Okay. You can have breakfast first. If it's not enough, there are the buns I put there just now. You will remember to ask sister Yushui to come over to eat later. She will also go to work soon."

He Yuzhu saw that he was about to go out with the bag containing the buns.asked quickly. "Then what are you doing?"

"I'm going to deliver breakfast to the deaf old lady. If it's any later, she'll have finished her breakfast."

"Okay, then you go."

He Yu'an went out, and the deaf old lady's house was at the innermost part of the backyard.

It's here in two steps.

He Yu'an knocked on the door twice and asked loudly. "Deaf old lady, are you home?"

Hearing the sound of moving a chair through the door, "Here, come in quickly!"

Hear the echo of the deaf old lady.He Yu'an pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, He Yu'an saw the deaf old lady sitting at the dining table.There is a bowl of millet porridge and some steamed buns on the table.

The deaf old lady put down the bun she had bitten into, and put the chopsticks on the bowl.He warmly extended his hand to greet He Yu'an to sit down and have something to eat.

"Here you come, dear boy. Sit down quickly. Have some breakfast."

As she said that, Mrs. Long was about to stand up and go get bowls and chopsticks for He Yu'an.

He Yu'an quickly reached out to stop the deaf old lady.

"No, I've already had breakfast. I'm here to bring you some steamed stuffed buns. Let you have breakfast with millet porridge."

He Yu'an put the steamed stuffed bun in his hand on Old Madam Long's dining table.

"This is your favorite stuffed pork and green onion buns."

"Good boy, this will cost a lot of money!" The deaf old lady was a little surprised to hear that He Yu'an brought so many buns.

In this era of scarcity of supplies, such as meatloaf, buns, fried dough sticks, etc. are very luxurious breakfasts.

Usually people just drink a little porridge and eat a steamed bun for breakfast.

Those who can afford white flour steamed buns are considered to have a little bit of wealth in the family.

In the 70s and [-]s, meat was very scarce.

The price is also very expensive.It is a luxury for a family to eat meat once a month.

Like the bowl of tofu nao that He Yu'an ate in the morning, two deep-fried dough sticks and a steamed bun.It's already enough, and it will cover a family's food expenses for three days in the future.

That's why He Yuzhu was a little unhappy seeing He Yu'an spending so much money.

Although money is very valuable in this era.You can buy a bunch of stuff for a dollar.

But after all, people are still afraid of poverty, and they still want to save as much as they can.

Everyone is from the age of hunger.At that time, I was hungry and could only gnaw on the bark.

People are very frugal, and the highest requirement for eating is to be able to manage their fill, and it is not required to eat too well.

After the salary is paid, except for daily expenses.Save the rest for later.

The deaf old lady saw He Yu'an bring over five or six buns.Each bun is as big as a fist.I thought it would cost a lot of money.

The old lady was afraid that He Yu'an would spend all her money.Stand up quickly.

He Yu'an saw the deaf old lady walking towards the tall cabinet with a trembling step on her crutches.

He took out a key from his body and opened the lock on the cabinet.

The deaf old lady fumbled in the cabinet for a long time.He took out a beautifully crafted small box.

The old lady took the box in her hand, walked back to the dining table with trembling steps, and sat down slowly.

"Old lady, what are you holding?" He Yu'an looked at the deaf old lady's expression of wanting to see a baby, and asked a little strangely.

This box looks old.But it is still very neat and clean, and the patterns carved on it are still very clear.

Look at the deaf old lady putting this box in the back of the cabinet.He Yu'an knew that she liked this box very much, so she kept it very well.

The old lady stretched out her hand and opened the box tremblingly.

He Yu'an stretched his head over to take a look.It was found that there was money and food stamps in the box.There were also a pair of pearl earrings, and an exquisite gold bracelet.

From the looks of it, this is an ornament worn by the deaf old lady when she was young. It is so expensive that it should have been made when she got married.
