Chapter 274 Grandma
()
() Xiao Bozi's house and second aunt's house have the same structure. The two houses are both simple houses. However, the house is not that clean and there is no furniture.
Grandma lives in the inner room, which is a kang. There are two large boxes and is set up by a stool. There is no wardrobe or something.
Xiao Bozi lives in an outer room, and there is an iron rack bed near the north wall. This kind of bed is two iron racks, two triangular irons are used as supporters on the side, and two square woods are used as cross-loads, and a few wooden boards are laid on it as bed boards.
The door and window are integrated, and there is a cupboard next to the window. There is a door below, rice and noodles are placed inside, and bowls and chopsticks are placed on top.
There was a dining table and four stools in the middle of the house. When guests came, they were all made around the table. The furniture was very old and should have been cut out from the ruins.
Grandma was cooking, and the staple food was rice and the vegetables were stewed with cabbage. Crunch was a unique side food in Tangshan, and Ye Yuze didn't understand what it was made.
It is divided into large creak and small creak. Large creak is similar to pancakes, and small plaques are similar to powder. Ye Yuze prefers to eat small creak. Xiao Bozi's family should rarely eat this because grandma only bought a little.
Like all northerners, every household will store some cabbage every winter.
The so-called price of cabbage is that when cabbage comes down in autumn, it is extremely cheap, one cent or ten kilograms. People like to dig a hole in the yard, put the cabbage inside, cover it with plastic cloth, and finally bury it with soil.
However, Xiao Bozi's family obviously did not store enough cabbage. This means that they didn't have the money to buy so much. Generally, families with slightly better living conditions have enough cabbage to eat for a winter.
At this moment, his house still had a pit, but the cabbage was gone, but there were some cabbage leaves next to the water tank in the outer room.
Ye Yuze understood at a glance, and his grandfather told him that some families in the city often went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pick up leaves that the salesperson had broken off.
At that time, the supply and marketing cooperative also stored a large amount of cabbage, which basically had to be sold for a winter. After all, there were few vegetables. However, when the cabbage was put out for a while, the leaves outside would rot, and the salesperson would break them down and throw them away.
People from poor families will get up early every morning to stare at the salesperson. When they break it down, they pick up the better ones and eat them as food.
Ye Yuze's nose was a little sore. My uncle's grandmother was in her seventies. Her waist was as bent as her biological grandmother.
Many elderly people in that era were like that, and they couldn’t straighten their waists when they were old. I don’t know if it was because they were too tired when they were young or because they were nutritional problems.
After all, Ye Yuze bought some braised dishes, otherwise he would be embarrassed to move his chopsticks when eating this stew. Grandma looked at the paper bag that Ye Yuze opened for a while:
"You gave so much last time, and I bought it again today. If you spend money like this, won't your family tell you?"
Ye Yuze smiled: "Grandma, my parents are both in northern Xinjiang, and I live in my second aunt's house."
Grandma muttered: "He is also a poor child, he left home at such a young age."
When I opened the pot Ye Yuze, I realized that there was very little rice in it. I guess he and Xiao Bozi were not enough to eat. However, there was a grate on the rice and a few cornmeal steamed buns on it.
Grandma served them a bowl of rice, then picked up a steamed bun and chewed it.
Ye Yuze pushed the rice to grandma, picked up a steamed bun and started eating it: "Grandma, you eat rice, I like to eat steamed buns!"
This is not entirely a lie. Ye Yuze has basically never eaten this thing. Although the cornmeal is thicker, it has a special fragrance.
Grandma looked at him, but without saying a word Ye Yuze picked up two slices of pork head meat and put them into Grandma's bowl:
"Grandma, eat it quickly! If you don't eat it, I won't eat it anymore!"
The reason why I picked it up to my grandma was because if Ye Yuze saw that if she didn't pick it up, she would definitely not pick it up by herself. I guess all the things she brought last time had been put into my uncle's stomach.
Grandma finally picked up the rice and took a bite, then stuffed a piece of pork into her mouth. She had no more teeth, so she just rolled it in her mouth and swallowed it.
After dinner, Ye Yuze went to pull coal with his uncle, which was a small cart with two wheels long. People in Tangcheng called Paiziche. As for why Ye Yuze was called it, he didn't know, but the "pai" of this Paiziche made three sounds.
The paizi truck was borrowed from the neighbors, and the three families who asked for coal were all neighbors on the same street. Buying coal required coal, so you had to go to the other party to ask for coal money and money before you could go to the coal station.
The three companies didn’t want much, but they couldn’t get along because they couldn’t divide it when they came back. However, Ye Yuze picked up a broken cardboard box to separate it and pulled two companies together.
However, when unloading the truck, the old lady in the first house personally took a broom to supervise and even swept the coal surface of her house, for fear that the next house would take advantage of it.
Originally, three trips took half a day, so I would be rich after saving time. My uncle earned one yuan and gave it to his grandma. He took the 50 cents and said to Ye Yuze:
"I'll invite you to the movie?"
Ye Yuze did not refuse, this guy was so happy. On the way, my uncle bought a box of spring plowing cigarettes, one cent and two boxes of cigarettes.
He picked up one and lit it in his mouth, and handed it to Ye Yuze one. Ye Yuze also took it and lit it. He smoked the cigarette, but he was not addicted. He couldn't remember it normally.
But he probably doesn't know how to smoke, because he just goes in his mouth and comes out of his nose and doesn't suck it into his lungs at all.
The cinema they came to was called the Great Wall Cinema. Ye Yuze suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao Bozi: "Is there a Great Wall here? Where is the old Xiong talking about that piece of paper?"
Xiao Bozi smiled and pointed at the cinema. "Where does the Great Wall come from in the city? The Great Wall he mentioned is this cinema!"
Ye Yuze was a little confused. How could an old bear in such a cinema be covered? When he arrived at the ticket gate, there was already a long queue of people buying tickets.
Today's movie is "Xiyingmen!", which is a comedy, so there are a lot of viewers. Ye Yuze couldn't help but sigh:
"City is a city! You can watch movies at any time!"
Think about it, it takes about a month to watch a movie in Northern Xinjiang. You have to wait for the projectionist to get off the company before you can see it. There is a cinema at the regiment headquarters, but the playback frequency is similar to that of the company.
Just as the two were about to line up to buy tickets, a voice came. "Xiao Bozi, are you watching a movie too?"
Ye Yuze turned his head and saw that it was Big Bear leading a few half-aged children to stand aside. The little uncle nodded coldly, as if he was not very enthusiastic about Big Bear. Big Bear didn't care about it and said enthusiastically:
"When you arrive at my territory, what tickets should I buy? Wait!"
After saying that, he pulled two people and arrived at the ticket gate.
Please collect, recommend, monthly tickets and investments.
