Break out of the courtyard

When the Zhang family's grandmother was thinking about He Yuyu, she didn't expect that her brother He Yuzhu came to find him, causing the Zhang family's house to become silent.

Zhang Heping walked to the door and said to Silly Zhu at the foot of the steps: "I don't know, he didn't invite me."

Seeing the gloomy and depressed Silhu walking out of the door, Zhang Heping turned to his grandma and said, "He Yuyu can't do it. Her father ran away with the widow and she lacks discipline."

……

That afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the Zhang family, the 16-year-old second cousin Zhang Cuiya, the second eldest son of the uncle's family.

When Zhang Heping came home from school, he didn't see the man. He only heard his grandma say that Erwazi was taken shopping by his brother on a bicycle.

Zhang Heping had some preconceived suspicions about this guy who came at least three days in advance, fearing that he was coming with bad intentions.

In these days, how can anyone go to a relative's house to eat for free? If it were left in someone else's house, I would be scolded!

However, thinking about the last time Zhang Cheng brought his eldest son and fourth son here, the three of them ate for one day; and his second son came alone to eat for three days.

Of course, this little food is nothing. Zhang Heping is thinking about other things, such as Zhang Cuishan's salary and fixed grain...

My father, Zhang Bing, was not at home. I wonder if he went to the shoe repair stall outside again to steal some advice.

After her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, came back, she had been making a white shirt at the sewing machine. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood.

When the two sisters came back from extra classes and heard that Zhang Cuiya had arrived, their faces were not happy at all, but rather unhappy. They did not take the initiative to fetch food or boil water, but went to the desk to read.

In the end, it was grandma who took the initiative to speak up when she saw no one was going to the cafeteria to get food, calling Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi to the steel rolling mill cafeteria where they were going.

After waiting until 7: in the evening, the two brothers did not come back, Zhang Heping invited everyone to eat.

As a result, as soon as they sat down, a young man with unkempt hair and black hands ran in.

If this guy hadn't casually shouted "milk", he would have been kicked out on the spot by Zhang Heping.

I saw this beggar-like guy reaching out to grab two steamed buns from the dining table and stuffing them into his mouth. He also lifted Li Cuihua, the little girl from the second aunt's family, aside and snatched the little girl's bamboo stool and bowls and chopsticks.

"The cup is mine!"

Five-year-old Li Cuihua, who had received health education, ran over to grab her bamboo cup with a butterfly engraved on it, but was pushed away by Zhang Cuiya. She fell to the ground and started crying.

Zhang Heping frowned as he saw this. How could this guy have the confidence to act recklessly here?

The key is, looking at the actions of the eldest sister and the second sister getting up and staying away from Zhang Cuiya, I am afraid that Li Cuihua has encountered a similar experience at the uncle's house.

The cousin Zhang Cuishan didn't know what he was doing outside, so he came in slowly.

Then, he found his second brother Zhang Cuiya sitting next to his fifth sister Zhang Cuicui, sitting on the west side of the coffee table grabbing food; the second aunt's younger sister was crying and was taken to the earthen bed by the third aunt; the two younger sisters from the third uncle's family were crying. Taking the steamed buns to the Tukang.

The third cousin of the family, Zhang Heping, stared at Zhang Cuiya expressionlessly.

"Cousin, my second brother has just arrived and doesn't understand the rules. I'll take him to take a bath first." Zhang Cuishan said, and pulled Zhang Cuiya out, who had not finished eating.

"Brother, what are you doing? I haven't eaten enough yet!"

The voices of the two brothers gradually faded away, Li Cuihua's crying gradually stopped, and Zhang Pandi's voice came, "He was like this in his hometown. When he was eating at the big stove, he grabbed it more fiercely than anyone else! In the past three years, alas, …”

Zhang Heping took up the conversation from his second sister Zhang Pandi and asked calmly: "Does he have the habit of stealing things?"

"Sanwazi, your second brother is used to being wild in the countryside, please be more patient!" Grandma Xie Ermei said, putting a steamed bun into Zhang Heping's bowl.

But Zhang Heping remained unmoved and looked at the two sisters on the other side of the Tukang, waiting for an answer.

Zhang Pandi saw her grandma giving her a fierce wink, turned her head and snorted, "He only dares to be aggressive in the nest."

"Everyone pay attention to your own hygiene. Anyone with lice on his body should shave his head!" Zhang Heping said his dissatisfaction and went back to the right room.

For the next two days, Zhang Heping watched Zhang Cuiya's every move with cold eyes, remaining silent so that no one could tell what he was thinking.

Thursday, May 5rd at noon.

The second cousin Zhang Cuiya, who was wearing a black patched coat and gray cloth trousers with several large patches, was tinkering with the radio to select channels by the earthen bed.

When her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, came back, she gave her May salary wrapped in a handkerchief to Zhang Heping, who was reading at the dinner table.

When Lao Zhang and Zhang Cuishan came back with the lunch box and cloth bag, Zhang Cuiya ran out in a hurry and tried to grab the white cloth bag containing the steamed buns in Zhang Cuishan's hand, but Zhang Bing hit him with a cane.

"Have you washed your hands?" Zhang Bing asked with a frown. He had also recently discovered Zhang Heping's abnormality and was worried that the brat would cause trouble and jeopardize the relationship between the two parties.

"I washed it and haven't gone to the latrine since." Zhang Cuiya explained, but failed to snatch the bag from Zhang Cuishan's hand, "Brother, let me go and let me see what I'm going to eat today."

Zhang Cuishan was an honest man. He had always let his second brother go before and didn't care too much.

However, he discovered that Zhang Heping stopped eating steamed buns after Zhang Cuiya robbed him of the white cloth bag containing the steamed buns at noon and evening yesterday.

Even after Zhang Cuiya's chopsticks stirred the food in the lunch box a few times, Zhang Heping didn't even eat the food and left without saying a word.

"Go wash your hands!" Zhang Cuishan frowned and said, pulling the white cloth bag behind him.

Entering the room, Zhang Cuishan saw ten pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed on the coffee table. The chopsticks were bamboo chopsticks, but the bowls were of all kinds, including enamel basins and enamel cups of different sizes.

After Ma Xiuzhen took the lunch box and cloth bag from Zhang Cuishan, she went to the dining table to share the dishes and steamed buns.

She also noticed Zhang Heping's abnormality and felt sorry for her son who didn't have enough to eat yesterday, so she thought of a way to share meals with the children in the kindergarten.

Zhang Cuiya shook the water droplets on her hands and ran in quickly. Before sitting down, she took two steamed buns and started eating them. She didn't care why the steamed buns were divided into ten cups and basins today, or whether everyone was there. .

Ma Xiuzhen frowned and said: "Zhang Cuiya, you only have two steamed buns at noon today. Your portion is the one in the bowl in front of you. You are not allowed to take other people's."

"Why!" Zhang Cuiya quit immediately, pointed at the four steamed buns in the big basin in front of Zhang Heping, and said angrily: "Your son eats four and asks me to eat two. How can I have an aunt like you?"

"It's a shame that our family helped you raise your two daughters so well, but you didn't even give me enough to eat."

"Zhang Cuiya!" Zhang Pandi stood up and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that in the past three years when you were at your house, did my sister and I have a full meal? When you robbed us of food, you and I Your mother..."

The eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi hurriedly covered Zhang Pandi's mouth and pulled her away from the dining table. She glanced at Zhang Heping worriedly and found that the third brother was just eating the steamed buns silently.

"That's my home!" Zhang Cuiya said confidently: "It would be great if it can make you stutter!"

"This is my home!" Zhang Pandi shook off Zhang Zhaodi's hand and shouted back angrily.

Zhang Cuishan couldn't stand it anymore and hit his second brother Zhang Cuiya on the back, "Shut up!"

After Zhang Heping quickly eliminated four steamed buns, he stood up to leave, but was stopped by his father Zhang Bing.

Then, Zhang Bing grabbed a handful of cents from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Heping, "Count this month's salary."

Under Zhang Cuiya's wide-eyed gaze, Zhang Heping straightened the money receipts, then opened the handkerchief his mother Ma Xiuzhen had just given him and put Lao Zhang's salary in it.

"Mistress, this is my salary."

Seeing his eldest brother Zhang Cuishan hand over the money ticket, Zhang Cuiya immediately stopped and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
