Rebirth: Return to the 80s

Zhao Shenggu said flatly: "In the future, more and more people will join "Yuangu". How can such a small workshop handle it?"

Guan Ermao nodded and didn't ask any further questions, "Should we still look for recruits in our village?"

Zhao Shenggu suddenly smiled: "No, the nearby villages are fine, but you need to investigate your character carefully."

Guan Ermao knew that Zhao Shenggu was bored after experiencing these women in Guanjiatun.

Guan Ermao was quickly found in several nearby villages. The women who were hired couldn't believe their good luck, and they worked even harder.

After this incident, the mood of the workshop changed suddenly, there were no more people who cheated and played tricks, and they all compared to work, for fear that one of them would be fired accidentally.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu were going to school again. Early in the morning, Guan Shitou and Guan Mumu came to urge them. Guan Yuan hid in the quilt and didn't want to get up. Zhao Shenggu opened his arms with a hot towel. Eye.

"Hmm... don't want to go..." Guan Yuan closed his eyes and said in a daze.

Zhao Shenggu had already dressed him nimbly, washed him in a one-stop service, and was fully awake after feeding Zhao Shenggu the hot porridge in his mouth.

After Guan Shitou finished the porridge in the bowl, he laughed loudly at Guan Yuan: "Hahaha, the boss is a slob, and he even makes people wear clothes and feed him, shame on him."

Old Guan Yuan blushed, and glared at Guan Shitou: "Begging for a fight!"

Guan Mumu watched and giggled.

When they arrived at the school, Guan Mumu and Guan Shitou walked to the third grade classroom, while Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu walked to the sixth grade classroom. For Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, it was really inappropriate to continue to study step by step, but the school allowed up to two jumps. Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu passed the principal's inspection before directly entering the sixth grade.

The head teacher of the sixth grade is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He is a typical intellectual and is very responsible for the students. Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu are well-known throughout the school. The head teacher naturally has expectations for them. After a class, do your best. They answered the question.

As a result, looking at his smiling and squinting eyes under his glasses, he knew that he was very satisfied with these two students.

Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan got along like ducks in water in the new class. When school was over on the first day, Guan Shitou held a hand that looked like a sourdough bun, and yelled.

Needless to say, Guan Yuan knew what was going on: "You didn't do your homework again."

Guan Shitou snorted a few times: "Isn't it just that I didn't do my homework? Do you need to be so ruthless, you tigress!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Mumu gave Guan Shishi a hard look: "You are not allowed to say that about Mr. Ma."

The Teacher Ma mentioned by Guan Mumu is their head teacher. She has been teaching for several years now, and she is more and more strict with the students. However, she is really conscientious and takes special care of good students like Guan Mumu, so the relationship between Guan Mumu and this head teacher is very good. .

Guan Yuan also likes this teacher. When they were expelled by the school dean, this teacher even helped them speak. "That is, if you didn't do your homework, could Teacher Ma beat you? I think you are still worried about whether you will be beaten by your mother after you go back." Guan Yuan said gloatingly.

Guan Shitou looked up to the sky and sighed, "Why is my life so hard!"

Zhao Shenggu patted him on the head: "What are you howling!" Guan Shitou dared not speak out to Zhao Shenggu, and shut his mouth in desperation.

When I got home, the workshop was almost finished. When Li Ying saw Guan Shitou's hand, he knew that he had caused trouble at school again. She grabbed his ear and said that he would take care of him when he went back. Guan Shitou screamed all the way. .

Guan Yuan laughed unkindly from behind, and Zhao Shenggu patted his head: "Come in quickly, you'll be blown by the wind carefully outside."

"Oh." Guan Yuan obediently followed Zhao Shenggu into the house.

When he was leaving, Zhao Shenggu covered the hearth, and when he came back, he turned on the fire and lit it up. He handed the charred chestnuts from the kang to Guan Yuan: "Put your stomach first, and I will cook."

"I'll go too." Guan Yuan stood up and followed Zhao Shenggu to the kitchen.

Their kitchen borrowed from the style of later generations, and it was very convenient to repair, and it was particularly pleasing to the eye. Li Ying expressed his desire more than once, saying that cooking in such a place would definitely taste better.

Zhao Shenggu quickly stewed rice and washed meat, while Guan Yuan sat on a small bench to choose vegetables. The setting sun shone on the two of them through the window, which made people think of the warmth of the quiet years.

Guan Yuan also enjoys this moment very much, he likes to talk about trivial things with Zhao Shenggu while choosing dishes.

"Brother, the flowers in our yard are about to branch again."

"Well, let's divide it up. I'll cook with you when we're done eating." Zhao Shenggu was washing the meat in his hands, and softly answered Guan Yuan's words, "Well," Guan Yuan nodded, "Our flower garden is getting better and better." It’s getting bigger and bigger, and maybe we can hold a flower show at that time.”

Zhao Shenggu knew no less about the future generations than Guan Yuan, so he knew about the flower show when Guan Yuan said it: "A flower show? Who will come to see it?"

"Ourselves, can't we see for ourselves?"

"Okay, whatever you say is fine."

A meal was ready while the two were chattering. Guan Yuan could not help swallowing when he smelled the strong aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs. Zhao Shenggu looked amused: "Okay, come and eat quickly."

The two had just put the food on the table when the third grandma came

.

Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu hurriedly welcomed the third grandma to the table, fearing that she would not be able to eat these hard things, Zhao Shenggu was going to cook tofu again, the third grandma hurriedly stopped him: "Shenggu, don't be too busy, these are very good, this The rice is also soft, I can eat it."

Zhao Shenggu just sat down.

At the table, although the third grandma was trying her best to cover up, she was still serving dishes much faster than usual. Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu looked at each other, and they both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes. In order to let the third grandma eat well, the two The man didn't say anything at the dinner table, and Guan Yuan didn't ask the third grandma until the meal was over.

The third grandma's old eyes were full of muddy tears; "I have committed a crime, and I have such a son and daughter-in-law..."

The third grandma's whole body was trembling slightly, and she suppressed deep despair when she cried.

When the third grandma told the truth under Zhao Shenggu's comfort, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu wished they could chop those two wolf-hearted things with one knife.

The third grandma has been hungry for two days. When Zhao Juan asked Guan Mandi to deliver meat to her natal family, she locked the third grandma Guan in the house. After Guan Mandi came back, she wanted to let the third grandma Guan out. Rang also threatened him that he would go back to his mother's house, so Guan Mandi compromised, and did not release the third grandma until the next night.

The third grandma was almost 60 years old, and her body was already weak. She couldn't stand such a toss, and she went to Zhao Shenggu's house with a sigh of relief. After eating, she developed a fever. Guan Yuan fed her some spiritual spring water to recover.

Zhao Shenggu's face was full of anger: "No, we can't let that bastard have such a good life, the third grandma will die if she continues to be tossed like this."

Guan Yuan is harder than Zhao Shenggu: "We are all others, no matter what happens, the third grandma has to be ruthless..."

Two lines of tears rolled out of the corners of Guan San's eyes at this moment, and Guan Yuan knew that Third Grandma heard it.

"Third grandma, I know you heard what I said. People like Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan are not worthy of your protection. As long as you can be ruthless, my brother and I will definitely seek justice for you. Brother is your own grandson."

The third grandma's tears flowed more fiercely, and it took a long time before she opened her eyes: "Xiao Yuan, you are right, I have to be tough on this matter, and I will pretend that I have never raised this son...'" After finishing speaking The third grandma's eyelids seemed overwhelmed, and she closed her eyes again.

The third grandma Guan didn't return all night, and Guan Mandi didn't come out to look for her. The third grandma also gave up on that bastard. The next day, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu asked Li Ying to help take care of the third grandma before going to school.

When the two came back from school, they saw the third grandma basking in the sun in her tight clothes. Guan Yuan asked Li Ying if she had been to Guan Mandi before, and Li Ying said, "That airless thing, What else do you see besides that broken shoe?" After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not good to say these obscenities to Guan Yuan, so he found a topic to divert.

Guan Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, he really shouldn't expect anything from animals.

"Auntie, my brother and I are going to the village chief about this matter, you help me watch some workshops." Guan Yuan said to Li Ying that Li Ying untied her apron, "I'll go too, there's nothing wrong with the workshop."

Guan Yuan explained the solution yesterday, but it takes the third grandma to harden her heart to identify Hang Mandi and Zhao Juan.The third grandma agreed, and Guan Yuan, Zhao Shenggu and Li Ying escorted the third grandma and walked to the village chief's house.

The roof of the village chief’s house was smoking, and it looked like he was really preparing for dinner. The village chief was smoking in the yard, when he saw Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu coming, he greeted them warmly.

The village head admires these two golden babies who can make money, not to mention his two daughters-in-law are still working in Guan Yuan's workshop.

After the greeting, the village chief asked, "What do you want from me?"

Zhao Shenggu told the story of the third grandma's suffering. After hearing this, the village head widened his eyes in surprise: "Old sister-in-law, is this true?"

The third grandma nodded: "I committed a crime..."

Veins popped out of the village chief's forehead, "In the past few years, there has never been such a thing in Guanjiatun. Wait, I'll broadcast it right away. Today's matter must be dealt with properly!"

After a while, the village chief yelled on the loudspeaker to call the whole village to a meeting at six o'clock, and everyone had almost finished their dinner by that time.Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu waited at the village chief's house until after six o'clock, and almost everyone in the village had arrived.Although production has been contracted to households now, if there is any problem in the village, it is still preferred for everyone in the village to solve it together. The law has not yet entered the hearts of the people here.

Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan were naturally also in the crowd. When they saw the third grandma being supported by Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, they were taken aback, and then their hearts thumped, thinking that today's incident probably has something to do with them.

Sure enough, the village chief began to criticize with righteous indignation: "As the old saying goes, raise children to guard against old age, but now our Guanjiatun has a beast that wants to starve the old mother to death..."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, there was an uproar in the crowd, who is this, who dares to be so disobedient and unfilial.

"Bring me Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan."

Immediately, the village chief's sons brought the panicked Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan up.

Seeing that it was the two of them, the onlookers showed a clear look. It is not news that these two things abused the third wife.

"Zhao Juan is a daughter-in-law who was imprisoned all over the place. Since she got married, she has abused her mother-in-law and oppressed her husband. She hasn't had a son and a half for seven years, and she doesn't follow the rules of a woman. Such a person should be put in a pig cage." When the village chief said this, the anger of the people below was also provoked, especially some traditional women, most likely women like Zhao Juan, spat at her one after another.

Seeing this, Zhao Juan simply broke the jar and said, "Damn, let me see who dares to touch me. This is a new era, why do you tie me up?"

Guan Mandi lowered his head firmly, as if he didn't hear the abuse around him.

"We can't touch you now, but we in Guanjiatun can't afford a daughter-in-law like you, so we can still drive you back." Zhao Juan panicked immediately upon hearing this.

Guan Mandi also lifted his head while blowing, and moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, Zhao Juan scolded him: "Guan Mandi, you eggless wimp, your wife will be driven away ..."

So Guan Mandi said to the village chief, "Please, village chief, don't drive my wife away."

Seeing that Guan Mandi spoke for her, Zhao Juan gained a little confidence.She actually understands that holding Guan Mandi is the most important thing, and now she speaks louder: "It's not that easy to drive me away, Guan Mandi and I have a marriage certificate, except for Guan Mandi Divorce me, what right do you have to drive me away."

Guan Yuan was surprised that Zhao Juan still knew these things, but after thinking about it for a while, he found it understandable. Zhao Juan was caught making broken shoes. She must have asked someone about these things. I heard that she had an eighth The cousin who can't hit the pole is in the county court.

How did the village chief and these villagers know this? After hearing what Zhao Juan said, they all whispered to each other. The village chief was also dumbfounded: "Shenggu, what Zhao Juan said is true?" In his eyes, Zhao Shenggu is a scholar people.

Zhao Shenggu nodded: "It's true..." Hearing what Zhao Shenggu said, Zhao Juan couldn't help feeling complacent, but Zhao Shenggu said again: "Well, it's a crime to abuse the elderly, and you have to go to jail. If we take it seriously, Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan committed murder intentionally, but they failed, if this is the case, they will be in prison for at least 20 years."

Zhao Shenggu naturally said it seriously.

But Zhao Juan and Guan Mandi were really scared, Zhao Juan insisted: "What nonsense, do you think I will be scared if you say this?"

"Are you talking nonsense? You'll know if you send it to the police station." Zhao Shenggu said coldly.

Now the villagers hesitated a little. Sending this person to the public house was beyond their psychological tolerance.

Guan Mandi's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down in front of the third grandma: "Mother, I'm not human, I'm not human, please forgive us, Juan'er and I will be filial to you in the future, mother, what do you say?" Words.!"

Seeing that Zhao Shenggu was really going to come and pull her, Zhao Juan knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Mother, I'm not human, I'm not human, I will never treat you like this again, please tell the folks to forgive me."

"Mother, if I go to jail, who will take care of your retirement, and who will burn paper for dad during the holidays, mother," Guan Mandi cried again.

The third grandma trembled when she heard the words, and finally her sunken eyes shed tears again: "Forget it, my injustice..., folks, for my wife's sake, forget it this time..."

After the third grandma Guan finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Zhao Shenggu and Guan Yuan, she turned her back and cried.The village head and the people in the village were also relieved to hear what Grandma Guan said, and they didn't have to deal with the officials anymore.

Guan Mandi and Zhao Juan stood up quickly, supporting the third grandma from left to right.

In such an atmosphere, Guan Yuan and Zhao Shenggu, who fought for the third grandma, became a joke.When the third grandma passed by the two of them, she wanted to say a few words, but Zhao Shenggu turned her body sideways.

The third grandma felt a pain in her heart, she knew that she had hurt the hearts of the two children this time.

On the way back, Zhao Shenggu was sullen, Guan Yuan didn't think much of it, after all he didn't have much feeling for anyone other than Zhao Shenggu, and now he did this just to repay the kindness of the third grandma for taking care of them, since they don't Accept it, why bother to put a hot face on a cold butt.

"Okay, brother, that's fine, after all, they are a family."

Zhao Shenggu took a breath: "Yes, they are a family." There was relief in his tone.

Guan Yuan knew that his brother's heart had already been closed to the third grandma.

"Let's go, Xiaoyuan, go back and cook something delicious. We haven't eaten yet!"

"Well, I want to eat the crispy meat you made last time." Since Zhao Shenggu learned how to read, the recipes in the space are also the objects of his research. He also racked his brains to make Guan Yuan eat more. Now he cooks The craftsmanship has surpassed Guanyuan.

The two held hands and walked home, where there were only the two of them.
