Chapter 184 [184] Three Thousand

As an outsider, there may be some things that are not suitable for saying, but in this case, she feels very necessary.

"Grandma, you and grandpa are old after all, so there should be someone around you. Otherwise, what can happen if something happens? "

Grandma Hou looked at Grandpa Hou with tears in her eyes: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have grown old, and no one would come back to see you."

Perhaps because he just escaped from death, the old man obviously became much less concerned about everything. When Grandma Hou said this, he was very unhappy.

"How can you blame you? You never have children for your whole life for them. Isn't that enough? They are unfilial, but they use you as an excuse. Humph, I can't tell you if I am blind? People have a good life abroad, and the moon abroad is full. If they don't come back, we can die together."

It turned out that Grandma Hou and Grandpa Hou were halfway married. The ex-wife died early and went when the two children were in junior high school. At that time, Grandma Hou had to go to work and take care of the two children, but she really couldn't take care of them. After someone introduced her, she met the widow Grandma Hou. Her ex-husband died of illness and the two had no children. If they marry Grandpa Hou, they would be just a mother. It would be fine if the children were younger, but the older ones were in junior high school and the younger ones were about to graduate from elementary school. They had already remembered them. Will they miss Grandma Hou?

It is hard to be a stepmother, and Grandma Hou thinks that Grandpa Hou is knowledgeable and has a good person. After thinking about it, she finally got married.

After marriage, Grandpa Hou was very nice to her, but the two children were obviously unanimous to the outside world. No matter how nice Grandma Hou was to them, they felt that she was trying to please them.

In order to make her two children accept her, Grandma Hou gave up giving birth to her own children. Unexpectedly, after they were admitted to college, they all went abroad and were far away from this family. They rarely came back during the holidays and never sent money to their homes. They might send a letter a letter a year or two, but they were not for Grandma Hou. Even if it was for the old man, they only had a few perfunctory words.

In fact, Grandpa Hou had given up a long time ago. This time, he saw through everything more. Thinking that his parents and children were not as good as outsiders, his heart was bleeding.

It is said that distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. I didn’t understand it before, but it became more and more precious when something happened.

After Zhuo Lin learned about the life experiences of the two old men, she was even more dedicated to them. She lived at home for at least five days in a week, just to facilitate the care of them. The school knew about her affairs and took great care of her.

Zhuo Lin never received money from the two elderly people for money for hospitalization, buying nutritional supplements, and having delicious food and drinks in daily life. Even if they gave it to her, she never asked them for it. She treated them as their grandparents and was filial.

In Zhuo Lin's words, since she has the fate to meet them and she has the ability to contribute money and efforts, there is no need to make herself regret it.

The neighbors also saw Zhuo Lin's actions, came to help and chat from time to time, and finally took care of the old couple as they were restored.

Basically, as long as Zhuo Lin has never bought fruits or vegetables at home, she has all produced them with her seeds. For this reason, she also nailed a wooden box and put some soil and water in it. When she got home, she used seeds to produce them. If it was fast, the vegetables would come out in half an hour. If it was slow, a big watermelon would be born for one or two hours. As the speed grew older, the technology of stimulating the birth technology would be improved, and she became more and more skilled.

The only trouble is that if she is frequently born, her physical strength will drop greatly. The last time she saved the two old men, it took her a whole week to relieve herself.

Grandpa Hou and Grandma Hou remembered Zhuo Lin’s actions in their hearts. Although they didn’t say anything, they had actually made a decision in their hearts, and even went to the neighborhood committee to talk about this matter more than once.

In the blink of an eye, it was January 1971, and the winter vacation was on the New Year's Day after the exam. Considering that the two elderly people were inconvenient at home, Zhuo Lin planned to prepare them with expensive New Year's goods, bacon, fish, and enema for them in advance. She bought a millstone herself in the yard to prepare them in the yard. Because it was cold, all these things could be put in. She also bought them pork oil, refined oil, prepared rice, noodles, coarse grains, etc., and spent about twenty yuan to prepare their New Year's goods.

I moved the two old men, held her hand and kept wiping my tears. It was really hard to speak. Just looking at her, I felt sad.

She patted their hands, "I will rush from home on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Come here early. How many more days can I do business and earn some living expenses. Don't be reluctant to eat what I have prepared for you, don't put it in bad food. If it is not enough, or it will break down before the New Year, just finish it quickly and get some more. The money I give you (20 yuan) is for you to spend the New Year. Don't be reluctant to spend it. I am still young and can still do business. I can make it back after the New Year, so I can spend it so hard!"

They are old and have a little back of their ears and need to shout loudly. Now they have a stove during the day. After they get into the quilt at night, the stove will be wiped out, for fear of something happening again. It is a little cold, but saving lives is important.

Zhuo Lin bought them a kettle, which has some effect. Hey, it’s this when he is old, and he is disliked everywhere. I can only say that it’s too normal.

The holiday was on January 18th. On the 20th, when Tao Yi was rushing from Changsha, he looked at his dusty look, Zhuo Lin felt helpless.

"I can go back myself, why are you going to do it?"

"You don't know how many people there are during the Spring Festival travel rush. You have thin arms and legs. I'm worried if you can squeeze onto the train. Okay, wait for me for another day. I have to go to my uncle's house to see my grandparents. We'll go back in the sleeper tomorrow night."

Zhuo Lin instantly stared at her eyes: "Sleeper berth? Can you still get a ticket to the sleeper berth?"

Tao Yi shook at her, "I'll try it, it should be almost the same."

With the connections of his uncles, it should be similar, right?

Tao Yi rested at home for a while, and after waking up, he rode a tricycle and took the fruits and vegetables prepared by Zhuo Lin. Of course, these are all fruits that can be bought in the vegetable market, such as apples, pears, sugar cane, oranges, etc., but they were all born by Zhuo Lin. Compared with the wilted fruits outside, her fruits are so sweet that they are so sweet.

Speaking of apples, it is really hard to urge. In one afternoon, it took more than four hours to spawn an apple tree. Although it is difficult, it has a lot of trunks. Moreover, the trunks that spawn are not that thick and thin, and the nutrients are all on the branches. Zhuo Lin can control these in the process of spawning, so there is no need to worry about what the apple tree trunks can do. Those are not a problem, and they save chopping wood. Wouldn't the ground pot in the yard come in handy?

Zhuo Lin helped the old couple wash their clothes at home. At this time, tap water had been installed in the capital. However, the old man dug a water press well in the yard in the early years. No matter which kind of water is used, it is fine. It is just that tap water needs to be paid, according to the population. Each person costs one cent a month.

When Tao Yi was there, he made a toilet for them. It was made in modern times. It was just a plastic-turned wooden frame. The bucket below was a plastic bucket. There was a shed in the corner of the yard. It was enough to pour the toilet twice a day. This saved the number of times you went to the toilet. After all, you were old and you suffered every time you went to the toilet.

The brother and sister did their best to help the old man. When did Grandpa Hou and Grandma Hou go out, they didn’t say what they were good about? As for the children abroad, they probably didn’t care at all, right?

When asked if he would come back this year, Grandpa Hou snorted coldly: "If you love, you will save money if you don't come back. If you really want to come back, I have to spend money to entertain them. It has been twenty years since they have children and daughters there, so why are we worried about that?"

However, unexpectedly, at noon the day when Zhuo Lin and Tao Yi left, several rickshaws were pulled over at the door of the house, and there were many men and women getting out of the car. The old neighbor looked closely and shouted quickly.

"Old monkey, come out and see who is back in your family."

Zhuo Lin was cooking in the yard at that time, and her grandparents helped to choose vegetables and peel garlic. Because after the meal, she had to pack up and leave, so she cooked several meat dishes. At this time, five, six, seven or eight men and women came in outside the door. After a closer look, there was also a foreigner. From the perspective of Zhuo Lin's later generations, they were dressed very fashionable.

In the winter, two women were wearing cashmere coats, chiffon skirts, high heels, and scarves. One of them was a Chinese woman, and the other was a foreigner. The two men who came were also a Chinese man and a foreigner. The four children they gave birth to were all mixed-race children, very beautiful, and were talking nonsense.

When grandpa looked up and saw the person coming, he was excited to stand up first. When grandma Hou helped him up, he thought of something and snorted coldly.

"Who is this? Don't go to the wrong door. It's been so many years, I still remember this old man!"

Yisen and his daughter stopped to introduce her to her partner, hurried over and shouted enthusiastically at the old man.

"Oh Dad, look, aren't we all back? Look, this is your grandchildren, that is your grandchildren."

When the middle-aged man wearing glasses summoned his children to come and say goodbye to his grandparents, he spoke in English, which made the old man very angry.

"Okay, okay, what are you shouting? I can't understand it. You just say what you came back, right? If you don't look for a good Chinese, find me some foreign things. Why? China is so big, can't tolerate you? You two are so heartless!"

"Dad, what are you saying? We taught you, how could you not teach the children's mother tongue? Isn't this not to say it, is it difficult to speak? You four are still standing there, so hurry up and call them grandparents and grandparents in Chinese."

The children followed the words and shouted in unsmooth Chinese. After Zhuo Lin finished cooking, she brought the dishes to the house. She just glanced at the people standing in the yard, said nothing, and did not take the initiative to come forward to say hello.
