Heartless people all die

Chapter 36 Drinking

After dealing with his sister's affairs, Xie Yuanmiao went to his grandfather's house.Several months have passed, and the burnt-down house has not been repaired. The two uncles borrowed someone else’s house to live. They are short of money, and the repair of the house is slow. Both uncles have gone out to do errands, and only the aunts are at home with their children. Take care of the elderly.

Although grandpa’s injury healed, his right leg was left disabled. He didn’t even have a cane. He hunched over and carried a bench as a crutch. It's sad.The old man looked at Brother Xie Yuanmiao and opened his cloudy eyes. Slowly, tears flickered in his eyes.Xie Yuanyan called out: "Grandpa." Both grandparents and grandchildren couldn't help crying.

Xie Yuanmiao rubbed her sore eyes, and went to comfort her grandma who was wiping her tears.The eldest aunt wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Why are you crying? This is a good thing. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Everyone should be happy."

The little aunt also nodded in agreement: "That's right, dad and mom, don't cry, it hurts your body, grandson Fu has a great life, and he will have a great future. You two elders, relax and be happy, and you will live a long life." , Waiting to enjoy the blessings of grandchildren." The fire turned the Huang family into a big family, and the relationship between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law is much closer.

Xie Yuanmiao wiped away tears for her grandma: "Auntie is right, grandpa and grandma should take care of their health, and when we make money in the future, we should honor you two elders."

The whole family finally calmed down. Speaking of future plans, the two aunts were a little surprised that Xie Yuanmiao would continue to go to school, but they also understood.My little aunt has a more lively personality, she knows how to be a human being, and she can talk: "You should go to study, and only those who study will be promising, unlike your uncle, who has no education and no money, so he can only go out to do manual labor for others. Read well, You must get into a good university."

The eldest aunt is more down-to-earth: "A Miao just needs to go to school with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell your uncle and aunt. Although we can't help you a lot, we will definitely do our best to help you. As long as you pass the exam, it will be a waste of money. It's all for you."

Xie Yuanmiao pinched his nose: "Thank you, aunt." He didn't tell his family that he accepted Zheng Shijun's sponsorship. His aunt would say that, which surprised and moved him. Whether they need their help is one thing, and whether they support it is another matter. is another matter.

Before school started, Xie Yuanmiao went to the county to find a school for his younger brother.This matter is easy to do. When he left Guangzhou, Zheng Shijun took the initiative to call the county education director, saying that he had a child of a distant relative who wanted to transfer to the county to go to school. For the phone call, Mr. Director naturally patted his chest and agreed, and just came to him when the time came.

Xie Yuanmiao first went to the vicinity of the No. 1000 Middle School to investigate the situation, picked the closest and best school to the No. [-] Middle School, and then went to talk to the Director of Education, and the matter was settled within two days.He hurried to rent a house nearby. The No. [-] Middle School is not in the center of the county, and the location is a bit out of the way, so the nearby houses are quite cheap. Xie Yuanmiao rented a third floor on a floor not facing the street. The whole floor has two bedrooms, one living room, kitchen and bathroom Everything is available, and it is only [-] yuan a year.Xie Yuanmiao planned to let Hui Xian come and live during the holidays. There was usually no one at home, and she had to clean up after the holidays. It was troublesome to leave after staying for a day or two. She might as well wait for the winter and summer vacations before going back.

The teachers in No. [-] Middle School were overjoyed when they knew that Xie Yuanmiao was coming back to resume classes. They thought Xie Yuanmiao had just dropped out of school.Xie Yuanmiao continued to study in the third year of senior high school. He did not take the exam in May of the second year of senior high school. He will take the make-up exam in December, otherwise he will not be able to sign up for the college entrance examination.Fortunately, the results of the college entrance examination in this era are not included in the results of the college entrance examination, so Xie Yuanmiao has no psychological burden.

When he returned to school, Xie Yuanmiao found that there was a big difference. The teacher had changed, the classmates had changed, and the classrooms had all changed. journey.

In the third year of senior high school, he was divided into arts and sciences. He chose science. The classmates in the class changed a lot. He only knew a few acquaintances from the original class. The old classmates were a little surprised by his return, but they were also very enthusiastic, which surprised Xie Yuanmiao.The other students in the class are no strangers to him. This former student boss is also the only student boss. He is impressive. Now that he returns to school after taking a break from school, I don’t know if he will be as powerful as before. Everyone pays attention to him. Both are very high.

Xie Yuanmiao is not in the mood to do business to make money now, he puts all his energy on studying and taking care of his younger brother.Apart from doing homework in class every day, he just went home to cook soup for his younger brother, and took his younger brother to school for self-study at night. After applying for approval, he put a set of desks and chairs at the back of the classroom for Yuan Yan to read his homework there.When I go to study by myself, I will take him back with me.Xie Yuanyan has no objection to this, he prefers to go to class with his brother than to stay at home alone.

The students in the class are very interested in this little brother, especially the female students are very enthusiastic about him, because he is Xie Yuanmiao's younger brother, the girls love Xie Yuanmiao, so naturally they have a little empathy, they also like Xie Yuanyan, and often give him some Small snacks, gadgets.After Xie Yuanyan received the snacks, he had to show them to his brother before deciding whether to eat them, because he was still in the recovery period, and many things could not be eaten casually. The landlord's child is gone.

Missing a semester of classes, Xie Yuanmiao's grades are of course impossible to return to the original level. He has to spend more time on tutoring, checking for omissions and making up for vacancies.Yuan Yan is in the fourth grade again. His grades are not good. If he skips a grade and doesn't study now, he will almost be reading from heaven.Going back to the fourth grade, the grades improved rapidly, probably because it was easier to learn again, or maybe it was because Yuan Yan fell in love with reading and read it seriously.In short, Xie Yuanmiao found that his younger brother's intelligence was not affected by the craniotomy, but it seemed to be enlightened, which made him feel very relieved.

In the first semester of the third year of high school, Xie Yuanmiao's grades continued to rise, and he was quite satisfied with this state.After the winter vacation, the third year of senior high school had to make up classes for a period of time. Huixian took the vacation and took her brother back so that he could study with peace of mind.

Xie Yuanmiao was thinking about whether to think of a way to get some money. With his own salary plus Huixian's salary of around [-] yuan, after paying the tuition and rent for this semester, as well as the living expenses of his younger siblings and himself for a semester, There is not much left, and the tuition fees for the next semester will not be able to pay.There is really no other way but to use the money that Zheng Shijun gave him. To be honest, he still has a little resistance to this matter in his heart. Borrowing money for his younger brother’s medical treatment is a necessity for survival. There is no way. But no, even if it is to borrow money, it should not be borrowed from Zheng Shijun.

The homeroom teacher also knew his situation very well, and said that he could apply for a subsidy for extremely poor students from the school, and the tuition fee could be reduced. After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Yuanmiao decided to consider applying for the subsidy.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Yuanmiao returned home from school.Although winter in Guangdong is relatively warm, the lowest temperature will drop below ten degrees in three to nine days, and even only four or five degrees in the coldest time.But home made him feel warm, especially when Huixian gave him a big surprise. She cooked a lot of wine at home, almost filling up all the vats. presentable.

"How do you know the ratio of koji to rice?" Xie Yuanmiao asked his sister. During the holiday, he didn't tell his sister to do these things.

"I went to ask my grandfather. The wine yeast was also taken from my grandfather's house. I think we can make wine after you come back."

Xie Yuanmiao patted her younger sister's head: "Hui Xian, you are too thoughtful, I want to thank you."

Xie Huixian was a little embarrassed, her elder brother regarded herself and her younger brother as his responsibility, but she couldn't help much, so she could only be in a hurry, she thought she could help as much as possible.

When cooking wine in winter, the fermentation time will be longer, and the time for wine making is just around the Chinese New Year. This year, the brothers and sisters plan to specialize in wine making.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, every household is busy preparing for the New Year, killing chickens and geese, which is very lively.Xie Yuanmiao's family is also busy. He is busy making wine. Their family doesn't pay much attention to Chinese New Year. They just have two more meat dishes than usual, which is easy to prepare.

Xie Yuanmiao and his younger sister brewed wine together, and his younger brother Yuan Yan also came to join in the fun, sitting by the stove to warm up and watch his older brothers and sisters busy.Xie Yuanmiao took him to the city hospital for a six-month re-examination when he was half a year old last time. The CT scan showed that his condition was very good, and the doctor said that he was recovering very well.Originally, I should continue to go to Guangzhou [-] Hospital for reexamination, but it was too far away, so I made a compromise and went to the city hospital for reexamination.

Xie Yuanyan's physical condition is very good now, except that he is not as active as before he fell ill, he walks and talks basically normally, and his academic performance has improved a lot, he can be regarded as a top student in the class.Xie Yuanmiao was relieved that his brother would be like a normal person in the future.

Xie Yuanmiao has thought about his problems after going to college, and he will take his younger brother to study wherever he goes to school.I have gone to college by myself, and there is no pressure to go to school. The biggest task is to make money.My younger sister still has three years to graduate. When she goes to college, she has almost finished college. She should be able to earn enough tuition fees. If it is not enough, she can apply for student loans and pay them back after graduation.

The three brothers and sisters were busy talking and laughing in the wine cellar. Someone came into the yard from the front door. Xie Yuanmiao heard someone shout "Brother!"

"Kevin, why are you here?" Xie Yuanmiao was wearing an apron and was scooping up fermented glutinous rice, the apron was covered with distiller's grains and ashes, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

Zheng Shijun was carrying a bag, and Shi Shiran came in after Kevin. He was wearing a black wool coat, a scarf hanging loosely around his neck, his hair was neatly combed, and his leather shoes were polished. Pianpian, in stark contrast to Xie Yuanmiao, who was wearing rubber shoes and an apron with his sleeves stroked.

Kevin originally wanted to pounce on Xie Yuanmiao, but was frightened by the dirt on Xie Yuanmiao's body, tilted his head and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Xie Yuanmiao glanced at Zheng Shijun, then looked down at Kevin: "My brother is making wine. Why are you here, Kevin?"

Zheng Shijun finally spoke: "There is a big festival in the family this year. We are all back to celebrate the New Year. Let's visit you by the way. Yuan Yan, how are you lately?"

Xie Yuanyan stood up from the stove, dusted himself off, and wiped his mouth: "I'm fine, Mr. Zheng."

Kevin stood there, turned his head to look at Xie Yuanyan, and then laughed loudly: "Little brother, you have become a tabby cat."

Xie Yuanyan blushed, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, but it became darker and darker, and everyone laughed.Xie Yuanmiao said: "Yanyan, go get a basin and scoop some water to wash your face." There is nothing else for wine making, just a lot of hot water.Xie Yuanyan sat by the stove with nothing to do, so he went to the second grandma's house to get some sweet potatoes to simmer and eat, but his hands and mouth were covered with black ashes.

Xie Yuanmiao said, "Kevin, do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Kevin quickly replied, "I want to."

Xie Huixian, who had been silent all this time, pulled out a sweet potato from the fire and squeezed it with her hands: "This one is ripe, here it is for you." It was the first time she saw Zheng Shijun and Kevin, so she was a little restrained.

Kevin reached out to pick it up, and Xie Huixian said, "Be careful it's hot." She put it to her mouth and blew it before handing it over.

Kevin took the delicious roasted sweet potato and turned to show off to his father: "Daddy, roasted sweet potato."

Zheng Shijun laughed: "Did you thank sister?"

"Thank you sister." Kevin said sweetly.

Xie Huixian blushed, and lowered her head seriously to collect firewood and light the fire.After Xie Yuanmiao scooped up the fermented glutinous rice, he straightened his back, lifted the Tianguo, and placed it on top of the wooden barrel. Zheng Shijun saw that he was busy, so he hurried over and stretched out his hand for help.Xie Yuanmiao quickly said: "No need, boss, I can do it, don't stain your clothes."

Zheng Shijun had no choice but to withdraw his hand resentfully, and turned his head to look at the surrounding jars: "There are so many, are we going to finish brewing?"

Xie Yuanmiao said: "One vat has already been brewed, and three vats will be brewed today. Boss, do you drink? Try the wine I brewed."

Even if Zheng Shijun doesn't drink, he must drink now: "Okay, I'll try it."

Xie Yuanmiao took out the small wine tasting cup, opened the sealed wine vat, quickly scooped out half a glass of wine from it, and handed it to Zheng Shijun: "Just drink it like this."

Zheng Shijun looked at the small wooden cup with a long handle, and understood that it was for wine testing. Xie Yuanmiao himself must have used it to drink wine, so he couldn't help being excited, so he quickly took it and took a big sip, but the freshly baked cup was slightly spicy His new wine was choked, and he coughed violently.

Xie Yuanmiao looked at him sympathetically: "Boss, you don't know how to drink?"
