Little tossed Du Lao Er, Ji Yanzhi returned home in a good mood.

At this time, grandma had already borrowed a few carrots from a good sister who knew each other in the brigade.

The radish stuff, in addition to the radish root stir-fried vegetable stew, the stems and leaves are washed and sun-dried, put on coarse salt or soaked in salt water in a tank, it is a good dish for dinner. All in all, it is a treasure, a common vegetable in rural areas.

"Come back!"

The grandmother said in a low mood: "Your second uncle is a grown-up, so you can hide from him in the future, so you won't suffer."

"You can't suffer."

Ji Yanzhi took the radish that his grandmother had washed with water, and when he was about to move the knife, Ji Yanzhi quickly took it.

"Grandma, if you rest, your grandson will do it."

Ji Yanzhi doesn't have the thought of a gentleman who is far away from the kitchen. His family depends on him and his grandson. When he was young, it was enough for grandma to do everything, but now he is half-aged, he can't help with housework when he goes to the commune to study, and he can obviously help but not do it when he is at home. Then what kind of person has he become, and he doesn't need a conscience.

Ji Yanzhi comfortably enjoyed his grandma's dedication and love to him, and naturally wanted to give her grandma back 100%. And this return refers to all aspects, not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also mentality. He knew that his grandmother had been looking forward to him becoming a talent, so that everyone in the brigade was admired.

His path is wide, and the carp jumps out of the farmhouse, not just reading. But for grandma, who has accepted traditional ideas for decades and read a few ancient books when they were young, reading is the only way for peasant children to change their lives.

Ji Yanzhi is filial, and Ji Zhixi's family has to deal with it. After more thoughts, Ji Yanzhi still chooses to take the college entrance examination. Fortunately, he is only fourteen years old now, and there are still two years before the college entrance examination resumes, which means that he has two years more chance than others.

In Ji Yanzhi’s view, the reason why Ji Jin chose to go to university in the place of Prayers was that Ji Zhixi worked in the Education Bureau in accordance with the relationship between his father and his son, and that his college entrance examination scores just caught up with the end of the admission scores of Capital University. , The relationship between the risk of being admitted.

In the 1970s and 1980s, especially when the college entrance examination was just restored, the admission system was not rigorous, leading to endless incidents of occupying other people’s identities to go to college. It is not that Ji Yanzhi has not experienced this era, although the past crossing has never happened to be occupied. The matter, but judging from the wisdom that Ji Yanzhi possesses, it is not that there is no solution.

If a person is so good that the whole world attracts attention, who has the courage to occupy his identity. Therefore, after a little thought, Ji Yanzhi decided to win the title of the national champion. If he scores 100 points in each subject, the decision will be notified by the entire county, and may even be reported by the county official as his political performance. At that time...

Ji Yanzhi, who was stomping the wild rabbit, was slicing the radishes with one heart and one mind.

—I hope that Ji Jin doesn't have a B number in his heart, otherwise he will have to think about how to deal with people to death.

Ji Yanzhi quickly reduced his smile. He put the stamped hare meat into the pot and waited for the water in the pot to boil. Ji Yanzhi used a wooden spoon to remove the blood foam that had been boiled on the water, and then cut a little more. Ginger slices and a few peppers sprinkled in.

The grandmother burned the fire with a smile, and Ji Yanzhi didn't grab the job of cooking and burning the fire by the way.

People who are accustomed to being busy have life everywhere, just like grandma, who is used to work, if you ask her to do nothing and stay quiet and enjoy the blessing, you will feel uncomfortable all over. Therefore, Ji Yanzhi never robs his grandmother for some work that is within his means without being overworked. The grandparents and grandchildren work together in this way. Although the days are poor, they are peaceful and happy.

The wild rabbit meat was simmered for a while. When the bones were half-soft, Ji Yanzhi put the sliced ​​radish into the pot and covered it with a straw lid to continue to stew.

"Hey, it's a pity that the vegetables in the ground. Oh, the wicked girl born in the old He's family, I don't see my old bones are good. I ruined the vegetables in the ground and poured the dung on the wicked bubbling. How can I eat this! "

Thinking of what happened this morning, grandma became angry. Especially the words of the unfilial conscientious son of Du Lao Er's words, "wash and eat", makes grandma think of it now, and her heart hurts so much that she can't bear it. The child she gave birth to is such a thing.

After persuading grandma to leave, Ji Yanzhi was already very sick of Du Lao Er, so he was in a good mood and said: "Grandma, don't worry, the brigade is in charge, and the second uncle will compensate."

"Come on, don't say nice things to make your grandmother happy. How can the **** and poisonous virtue of the girl's daughter make the second child general lose money?"

Ji Yanzhi smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, there is a way for my second uncle to pay for the food."

Granny: "My family said that my baby is a capable person, I know. But ah, your second uncle is a rascal, can we not afford to provoke him yet."

The question is, how do you hide if you live in the same room and don’t see you looking down? He didn't want to hide either.

Ji Yanzhi smiled again and boasted: "Actually, I have many advantages, but I think my biggest advantage is filial piety. My grandma has worked so hard to pull me up, even to raise me, even more so. A lot of anger, if I don’t know filial piety, I would have so many advantages in vain."

In fact, Ji Yanzhi has less to say about one ‘advantage’, that is, his mouth is sweet. Seeing that only a few words made her grandma feel that her whole heart was extremely hot, and her wrinkled and even cloudy eyes even shed tears.

Grandma has lived such a long time, and she can tell what is true and what is false. Besides, the few children she gave birth to, besides the little girl (Du Yuehong) who had a hard life, she even had a little conscience. She also knew that besides the eldest daughter (Du Yuejuan) who secretly helped Lao Ziniang, the other three sons were face-saving. He didn't bother to tell her more.

No matter what, the first sentence when she speaks is to persuade her to stop a little bit, not to disturb everyone's life for the sake of a father and mother.

This time and again, even if the grandmother still has a little thoughts about her children, she slowly faded away.

Grandma can understand, but occasionally she feels chilly, especially this morning...

No matter, when she was young, she only cared about raising her little grandson. Now that she is older, she can take care of other than doing some housework within her capacity.

Grandma stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and she watched Ji Yanzhi busy in front of the stove with a smile on her face.

Ji Yanzhi is adjusting chilli water. He is a person who likes to eat spicy food, but grandma is getting old, the food is best to be light and soft. Ji Yanzhi must adapt to grandma’s eating habits. If he wants to eat something spicy on weekdays, he adjusts some chili water. When the dipping sauce is dipped and eaten.

Ji Yanzhi brought the big thick bowl of chili water and eating to the stone table in the yard, and then went into the house and brought out the steamed sweet potato sorghum rice, and finally put the well-simmered rabbit meat and radish. Put it out in a large thick porcelain basin.

"Grandma, I only stewed half a rabbit, and you can take the time to send it to my aunt (Du Yuejuan)."

Grandma's eldest daughter, Du Yuejuan, is the third child at home. There are two older brothers at the top, and a younger brother and sister at the bottom. Because the age difference is not too big, the relationship between Du Yuejuan and Du Yuehong is the best. When Ji Yanzhi's father and mother had an accident, she wanted to raise Ji Yanzhi. It’s just that the place where she married was a bit far away. When she hurried back to her family’s home after hearing the news, the three sons of the Du’s family had already given Ji Yanzhi and her grandmother together under the pillow wind of the three daughter-in-laws. Rushed.

Du Yuejuan, with a soft personality, had a big quarrel with the three brothers on the spot. After the quarrel, Du Yuejuan deliberately wanted to take her nephew and Lao Ziniang together, but after the idea was said, she stabbed her husband's hornet's nest. From then on, Du Yuejuan's eyes were not the eyes, nose, or nose.

The grandmother did not want the eldest daughter to be embarrassed. She swears in front of the eldest daughter’s in-law’s family that even if she takes her little grandson to beg, she will not come to the house for her daughter and son-in-law to raise her.

Ji Yanzhi has always been clear about grievances and grievances. If others treat him three points well, he will pay others seven points. Besides, Ji Yanzhi did not want his grandmother to have no children close because of his relationship. Of course, for the three sons of the Du family, Ji Yanzhi thinks it would be better not to retaliate severely for his grandmother’s face, and want him to get close? Oh, is it possible for him to get close to them that Javier must report.

"Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning, so that I can stay overnight at Juanzi's house and be able to come back before dawn." Grandma smiled and said, and put a large piece of well-simmered rabbit meat in front of Ji Yanzhi. In a coarse porcelain bowl with rice.

"Grandma, don't worry about me, I can eat it myself." Ji Yanzhi also put a large piece of well-simmered rabbit meat in grandma's bowl, and said: "Grandma sits in the ox cart on the team to chant. , I will feel sorry for walking so long."

The grandmother felt sorry for the five cents of the ride, so she would rather spend nearly a day walking around than taking a ride.

Ji Yanzhi doesn't care about money. What he cares about is that he is old, and his legs are not flexible when he was young, so he simply asked the grandmother to take the bullock cart.

The grandmother hesitated: "It costs five cents for this trip, and one dime for each round trip. This dime can buy a package of coarse salt and six eggs, which is not a bargain. Grandma is still young and just walks. "

"I will hand the money to Uncle Li who drove the car this afternoon, grandma, if you don't take the car, don't you lose money." Ji Yanzhi said patiently: "Grandma, walking wastes time, and grandson loves you again, so feel sorry for you. Feeling sorry for your grandson, will you take the car?"

The grandmother laughed: "You, this mouth can coax people."

Ji Yanzhi also laughed: "I will go to the mountains in the afternoon. Auntie has a bitter life. Sometimes I can’t see the fishy rabbit for a few months. If I encounter a stupid rabbit again, my grandma will bring the whole thing to the auntie. The rabbit is ready."

The grandmother shook her head: "How many stupid rabbits can hit the stump by yourself, half is pretty good. I said, baby, you picked some herbs in the mountains in the afternoon. School is about to start, and the tuition and fees are almost too!"

Ji Yanzhi's current age is supposed to be a junior high school student, but in order to reduce the burden on the family, Ji Yanzhi has skipped grades one after another and is now a first-year high school student.

Now there is no reform and opening up, and there is no restoration of the college entrance examination, so many people in the village are puzzled by the things that grandma insists on letting Ji Yan go to school. They always feel that grandma is devilish. In this study, I must rely on recommendation to go to workers and peasants. In the days of Military University, a rural child who had no way of reading books could not go home to work in farming until the end.
