The evil life of Jia Erhu

The young woman's expression changed, she turned around and ran towards the back room.

Jia Erhu looked back and saw the shop owner sitting there motionless.

It could be seen that the two of them were probably a couple. The old man might have dropped something, or someone might have fallen, but he seemed not to have heard anything.

Are all northern men so chauvinistic?

After a while, the old man shouted from inside: "Child, come in quickly, come in quickly!"

Judging from the situation just now, Jia Erhu felt that the old woman inside was calling him, but it could not be ruled out that she was calling the shop owner.

If the old man really fell, she would certainly prefer the shopkeeper to help her.

When Jia Erhu turned his attention to the shopkeeper again, the shopkeeper stood up with a puzzled look on his face, limped out while holding on to the counter, and said to Jia Erhu: "My grandma is calling you, follow me." Come."

It turns out that the shopkeeper is a disabled person. No wonder he is sitting there all the time. People who don't know it think he is rude to the customers.

Seeing that Jia Erhu didn't say anything and kept looking at him, the shopkeeper explained: "My grandma grew up in the old village, so she should know your grandpa."

Jia Erhu followed the shopkeeper into the inner door. First, there was a large room with a stove on the left, which was obviously the kitchen. There was also a door on the right, which obviously led to the bedroom.

When I walked into the bedroom, I saw that there were two rooms separated by a big Kang in each room.

There was a fire burning under the big kang outside. Lying under the quilt on the kang was an old woman who looked to be at least 80 years old. She also seemed to have inconvenient legs and feet.

The young woman had already picked up the washbasin that had fallen to the ground, and at the same time used a mop to mop the water on the ground.

It turned out that the young woman had brought a basin of hot water for the old woman to wash her face. When the old woman heard that Jia Erhu was going to the old village and said that her grandfather was from the village, she immediately asked the young woman to come out and ask what happened.

When she heard Jia Erhu say her grandfather's name, the old woman got so excited that she knocked over the washbasin next to the kang.

After seeing Jia Erhu, the old woman was startled at first, and then said three words "like": "My child, you are really the grandson of Brother Dasong, so similar, so similar!"

Jia Erhu originally had no feelings for this old man, but when he saw the old man's excitement and excitement, he was also infected by her emotions.

"Old lady," Jia Erhu asked, "do you know my grandfather?"

"More than just acquaintance, Rongzhen, quickly go to the bottom box and take out the wooden box."

The young woman's name is Zang Rongzhen, the granddaughter of the old woman. The shop owner's name is Qi Zhijian, a native of another province. She was a worker assigned to a forestry farm from the forestry school, and later married a local Zang Rongzhen.

The bungalow they live in now was the early dormitory of the forest farm, and the head of the household was Zang Rongzhen’s deceased grandfather.

Qi Zhijian said "I'll come" and immediately walked towards the back room.

There were probably other boxes on top of that box, and it would take strength to move them.

"Come here, kid, sit next to grandma!"

After Jia Erhu sat on the kang next to her, the old man held Jia Erhu's hand tightly with both hands, looked at Jia Erhu carefully, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, you must be the grandson of Brother Dasong, Mrs. Looks like it!"

Zang Rongzhen was going to make tea for Jia Erhu. Seeing that he was a young man and must like drinks, he immediately ran to the store in front and brought a bottle of drink.

Qi Zhijian also took out a small wooden box the size of 4K paper at this time.

The old man took the wooden box and opened the lid. Jia Erhu saw that it was full of ancient letters.

The old man told Jia Erhu that those letters were written to her by Jia Erhu's grandfather.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhijian and Zang Rongzhen looked at Jia Erhu in unison, their eyes full of surprise and doubt.

Obviously, they had heard about Grandpa Jia Erhu more than once from the old man's mouth.

It turns out that there are not many people in the old village, just more than a dozen hunters.

At that time, the only young people of similar age in the village were Jia Erhu's grandfather and this old woman.

The old lady is a few years older than Grandpa Jia Erhu, but it is a fashionable custom in the north for girls to be juniors and hold gold bricks.

In that era, in an old village that was almost isolated from the world, the old woman and Jia Erhu's grandfather would become husband and wife almost as soon as they grew up.

Unexpectedly, Jia Erhu's great-grandfather and grandmother were both killed by Japanese butcher knives. In addition, the bandits were making serious trouble at that time, so Jia Erhu's grandfather ran out of the village to join the Anti-Japanese War, and there was no news about his death.

It was not until after liberation that the old woman received a letter from Grandpa Jia Erhu. By then, the two of them already had a family and children.

At that time, Jia Erhu knew that the life of the old woman and her family was difficult, so he often sent some money and food stamps. It can be said that he helped the old woman and her family get through the most difficult years.

Later, Jia Erhu's grandfather left the army and went to the third-line factory. First because of military secrets, and later because he was too busy at work, so he rarely contacted the old woman.

After the third-line factory soldiers were transferred to civilian life, Jia Erhu's grandfather began to contact the old woman again. The first tape recorder and the first TV set in the old woman's family were all brought over by colleagues who came to the north on a business trip to the north on a business trip entrusted by Jia Erhu's grandfather.

Jia Erhu's grandfather always said that he would return to the village after he retired. Who knew that he passed away on the job before he could retire?

The old woman didn't know about this. Later, someone from the forest farm went on a business trip to Changling. She took some mountain goods and asked someone to take them with him. When the business trip came back, he told her that Jia Erhu's grandfather had passed away and his only son had also been sentenced. With the death penalty, there will be no descendants in the family.

After hearing the news, the old woman cried for several days.

Unexpectedly, Jia Erhu came suddenly today and said his grandfather's name. The old woman was extremely excited.

Among the letters she collected, there were also photos of Jia Erhu’s grandfather, grandma and father when they were young, and there were also photos of Jia Erhu’s grandfather alone, almost all in black and white.

When he saw his grandfather's handwriting for the first time, as well as photos of his grandfather and grandmother's ages and his father's childhood, Jia Erhu burst into tears on the spot.

"Rongzhen," the old woman cried with Jia Erhu for a while, and suddenly said to her granddaughter: "Why are you just standing there stupidly? Go cook for your brother!"

Qi Zhijian also reacted at this time and asked: "Brother, how did you get here?"

Jia Erhu wiped away his tears and said, "I drove here, and there were two friends in the car."

The old woman said: "Hurry up and tell them to come in, it's so cold outside! Zhijian, go outside and see if there are any wild products, and buy as much as you can buy back!"

Also, close the shop and set up a bed outside. You and Rongzhen sleep outside at night, and let your brother and his friends sleep on the kang inside! "

Jia Erhu knew that he had nothing to say in front of the old man. He got up and said he was going to call his friends in. When he went out, he said to Qi Zhijian: "Brother, we won't sleep here tonight, we have to go to Ice City."

Zang Rongzhen said at this time: "Brother, for so many years, my grandma has been talking about your grandpa's kindness. If you come and stay up all night, my grandma will not agree to it no matter what."

Jia Erhu said with a smile: "I won't leave right away. I will definitely stay here for a while. The problem is that both of my friends are women and it is not convenient to sleep here."

When Qi Zhijian heard this, his expression changed: "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't let anything happen."

After saying that, he limped and rushed outside.
