Everyone is attacking me

The weather in Chang'an in July is as hot as a fire cage. After the hottest time at noon, the people gradually took to the streets. Those who have no money or are not willing to spend money enjoy the shade under the trees. Naturally, those who have money eat at home with fans blowing. with a cold drink.

There are also thick-skinned people who simply stroll to the entrance of Jixiang Mall to grab a free mung bean soup or sour plum juice, and then pretend to buy something to sit in it to enjoy the coolness. The mall has installed fans and ice, which is very cool. I heard that they even pretended What kind of pipe, there is water flowing through it, warm in winter and cool in summer.

So even if it’s just to keep warm or cool off, there are always people who like to go in and walk around. The thin-skinned people will always buy something to show their guests, and the thick-skinned ones will find an inconspicuous place silently. wait.

In the beginning, there were local hooligans who went in to play tricks, and they didn’t do too much, they only aimed at the snack counter and the snack city, one pinched one piece and the other took one, or they were endlessly getting free samples, or occupying the seats in the snack city. Move away, it can be said to be an extremely rascal, and later King An called Jin Yiwei to catch some typical ones and clean up a few, and this phenomenon was reduced.

Later, the Great Wei came to the whole country from Chang'an City to carry out a purge of all the rogues and rangers. All those who committed crimes were dealt with according to the law. They should be imprisoned and decapitated.

With the emergence of emerging industries such as bus logistics and takeaway, as long as you have hands and feet, you will not be afraid of starvation. If you can degenerate into a rogue and idle around in this way, you can only say that you deserve it, and you will be responsible for the accident.

Nowadays, whether it is a prefectural city, a county town, or even every village, there are patrols patrolling, and there are very few young and strong people who are born to make trouble. These patrols are not the original village soldiers, but retreat from the forbidden army in batches every year of the ex-soldiers who left with special training on how to train patrol officers.

So there are very few ruffians and rascals who dare to go to the streets to blackmail people unscrupulously.

However, when the summer is the hottest and the winter is the coldest, some people still stay in the shopping mall, but as long as they don’t take up seats and don’t disturb others, it’s okay. Even when the shopping mall was rebuilt, a special strip was added under the four-facing windows. The long horizontal boards are similar to the benches against the wall in modern shopping malls for ordinary people to sit.

Right now, in the snack city, there are some people who have bought food and are chilling.

After years of expansion and reconstruction, the snack city is no longer what it used to be. It is twice as big as it was at the beginning. The original brick and wood structure has long been changed to full brick and cement to prevent kitchen fires. It is already an independent store.

Compared with the snack street, the name of the snack city may not be true. After all, it is not as big as the snack street, and there are not as many food shops in it. It is cleaner, and the food is more refined. It is like the comparison between the food court on the top floor of a large shopping mall and the food court next to the vegetable market in later generations. It is between high-end restaurants and the snack street that people at the bottom love to go to. Some people have more money but not enough to go to restaurants The people will choose to come to the snack city.

Classes exist no matter what dynasty or generation they are in.

Old man Zhou is one of them. He has some spare money in his hands now, and he can spend the rest of his life in peace even if he just lies down and does nothing. Besides, he is old and can't do anything. He only comes to the mall every day. stroll.

He didn't just want to enjoy the cool, with the spare money he had, going to restaurants was enough, but he just liked the bustle of people coming and going in the shopping mall, and the most important thing was to see children running around.

At this moment, he is sitting by the indoor flower bed in the middle of the crossroad in the snack city, and the flower bed is specially built with smooth stone bricks, which is convenient for guests to rest.

"Little Si, come here." He waved to a five or six-year-old boy on his right.

"Grandpa Zhou." The boy was sniffing his nose while wiping the glass in front of a pastry window with a rag, his eyes lit up and he ran over with a smile on his face.

The old man Zhou also narrowed his eyes with a smile, took out a small wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and found a row of lollipops inside, he squeezed out two and handed them to the boy: "Here."

The boy didn't bother to wipe off the snot, so he put his hands together to catch it, grinning all over his mouth, then sniffed the snot, remembering what the teacher taught, and bowed to the old man Zhou to salute: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou."

"No thanks, no thanks." Old Man Zhou smiled even more happily, "You're so good."

He has no grandson himself, so he loves to be close to other children's children, especially the well-behaved and sensible children like Xiaosi'er.

Old man Zhou was originally born in an ordinary farmer's family in Chang'an City. His parents passed away suddenly when he was young. Before he could be sad, he was kicked out by his brother and sister-in-law. Fortunately, his father arranged a marriage for him in his early years, and his father-in-law didn't care about taking him in. It happened that his father-in-law had no son, so he simply became the son-in-law.

However, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people, and he did not let him take the name of the son-in-law. He also took the initiative to agree with them. The incense was cut off.

However, the sky did not fulfill his wish. When the eldest son was two years old, someone in the village stuffed him with a plum. The child choked on his mouth when he ate it. When they found out, his face was blue, and it was too late to send it to Po Wu. I swallowed.

It's a pity that there was no Song Xingxing at that time. I didn't know that there was a special first aid method for this situation. As long as it was implemented properly, it was very likely that he would survive. Swallowing his breath, the old man Zhou regretted it every time he thought about it.

After the eldest son passed away, his wife gave birth to three daughters one after another. It was not until the youngest daughter was three years old that she had a second son. The wife also injured her body because of giving birth to him, and she never conceived again.

Although the father-in-law and mother-in-law were disappointed, they didn't force it anymore. Instead, he felt guilty and made a promise that he would pass on to the in-law's family after the youngest son married a wife and gave birth to a grandson. However, God disappointed him again. The youngest son of an infantryman of the imperial army went to rescue the disaster with the army, but died in the end.

At that time, the old man Zhou only felt that the whole sky was about to fall. Although his son had married a wife before he left, he had not had time to give birth to a child in the future.He went to the restaurant to listen to the newspaper that day, and he was afraid of hearing his son's name, but he didn't expect it to be there. Later, the shopkeeper of the restaurant sent a car to take him home.

He and his wife were heartbroken, and fortunately his father-in-law and mother-in-law had gone a few years ago, otherwise they would have been unable to hold on when they heard the bad news.

The husband and wife have been in a daze for half a year. Thanks to the second daughter and Li being at home, the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter also took turns to go home to take care of them. As for the daughter-in-law, she is still young and has not given birth. People, let her go home and remarry, and the daughter-in-law is also filial, so don't worry about them, and will always find time to come over to help them before remarrying.

Old man Zhou originally lived with his Yue's family in a village outside Chang'an City, relying on a little Susukida and helping others to survive. Although he was poor, he was not short of food and clothing, especially after his father-in-law, mother-in-law and three daughters got married, he was even more saved. He had a small childbirth, but the youngest son wanted to enter Chang'an City and make a name for himself. When news spread in the city to sign up for military conscription, he went with his wife behind his back. They didn't know until the village chief came to the door.

It was a foregone conclusion, no matter how angry he was, it was useless, so he could only let his son go. Fortunately, the first year was good, and his son also participated in the military parade. Don't mention how proud he and his wife were at that time. They are envious.

Who would have thought that only a year later, the son died.

Fortunately, the imperial court granted them pensions, and they could go to the Yamen to receive subsidies every month. Even if he and his wife did nothing, they could live a stable life to old age.

After he moved into Chang'an City, apart from going to Zhuque Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day, rain or shine, and to see his son's name in front of the Monument to Heroes, he liked listening to newspapers and watching dramas, or watching those running around in shopping malls. The children were there to pass the time, but the wife couldn't be free, so she was introduced by the second daughter to help the cook in the gynecology hospital.

"Uncle Zhou is here." Little Si'er's father saw his son come back cheerfully with a small wooden stick in his mouth, and knew that it was old man Zhou. Little Si'er has a snack, don't spoil him, buy yourself some good ones with the money."

The old man Zhou smiled and waved his hands: "A little candy is worthless."

He is indeed not short of money. Before his son left, he already had savings. After his son left, the three daughters took turns to help him. Especially the second daughter got a lot of money when he left. He was introduced by his son to the women's hospital and learned a lot of skills. He became a well-known gynecologist in Fang City, with a good income, and bought a house in the city. He and his wife were given some money every month for them to spend as they wished, and they hardly touched their son's pension.

It's a pity that Erya hasn't remarried all these years, it's really worrying.

Xiaosi'er's father immediately turned around and dug out a small bowl of steamed cakes and brought them over: "This pot has just been made, and it's still hot. Try it quickly." Afraid that old man Zhou might think it was too little, he explained, "Zeng cakes are not good. Gram, don't eat too much at one time."

Old man Zhou didn't intend to take it, but he knew Xiaosi's father's temperament, so he took it after a few refusals.

Little Si'er's father left immediately after delivering the food, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Uncle Zhou, have you listened to the latest political report?"

The old man Zhou knew what he wanted to say as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "You want to ask about the bank?"

Little Si'er's father rubbed his hands, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I heard that saving money will make a profit, so I wondered if it could be done. The guests who come and go have their own reasons, and we don't I know who to listen to, so I want to ask you?"

Old man Zhou had a son who died on duty and engraved a hero monument in Zhuque Square, and a daughter who was a doctor and female officer. Unlike other guests who were either unfamiliar or bragging, he was a relatively reliable person he knew. He thought Take his advice.

Old man Zhou slapped his thigh: "Then you are asking the right person!"
