Chapter 004: Talk about an argument
Jiang Chuan didn't know the reason from his second sister, but since he didn't want to go, as the youngest child in the family, he had no room for opposition, just don't know if his eldest sister would scold her when she heard this news.
At around twelve o'clock, Jiang Yan came back from work and saw the two chatting in the yard.
He took off the straw hat on his head, washed his face, and smiled and said, "Are you both hungry? I'll go cook now."
Jiang Yu stood up with his younger brother's shoulder, "Sister, do you keep grandpa's military merits? Show me."
"Just in the drawer on the left side of the cabinet in the kang room, there is a red rectangular brocade box. If you want to see it, go and see it."
She entered the house and there was only an old wooden table in the kang. This was the dowry brought by Mrs. Jiang when she got married. It has been twenty years since she looked very old, but it was still strong.
Open the drawer on the left and you can see the brocade box inside at a glance.
There were five military medals in the brocade box. I picked up one and put it in my hand, which was heavy.
This weight does not only represent glory, but also a heavy history and the mark of the times.
Picking up the brocade box, Jiang Yu walked out and said to Jiang Yan, who was washing vegetables: "Sister, I'll go to Uncle Jiang Liu's house next door."
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to have an explanation." After Jiang Yu said that, he saw that his elder sister's eyebrows were frowning deeper and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not going to have a fight, I'm just asking for an explanation."
After saying that, she gave the other party a comforting look and raised her foot and left the house.
In Hexi Commune, 70% of the families with Jiang surnamed, and the remaining 30% were settled here in the later period. Whether in feudal society or now, the village chiefs in the village are surnamed Jiang.
Hundreds of years ago, this was actually a big family. It is said that his ancestors even had court officials, but later they made trouble and moved their family here.
When he came to the next door, Jiang Yu raised his foot and lived in the countryside. He was different from the city. In the city, if he entered other people's homes without knocking on the door, he would definitely be criticized or even regarded as a thief. However, in the countryside, every household has open doors during the day, and someone comes to take care of it. With the door open, there are usually people at home. If no one is present, you can leave.
"What are you doing?" Fat Aunt who was washing dishes in the yard saw Jiang Yu, and her face drooped in an instant.
Jiang Yu looked at her with a smile, "Aunt Fat, is Uncle Six at home?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man who was as thin as a pole came out of the room. When he saw Jiang Yu, he looked with a smile, "Why is Erni coming? Have you eaten?"
"My sister is cooking at home. This time I came here mainly to talk to Uncle Six." Jiang Yu opened the brocade box in his hand, "Uncle Six must have seen it, right? This is my grandfather's military merit."
Uncle Jiang Liu took two steps forward, looked down at the five military medals with completely different shapes inside, and nodded, "I have seen it. When Uncle San was still there, I saw it a few times. Uncle Six was still young at that time."
When Fat Aunt heard this, she hurriedly threw away the water from her hands and came up curiously.
"Is this all gold?"
Jiang Yu did not answer the other party, and continued with a smile: "There is a first-class merit medal, two second-class merit medals, a third-class merit medal, and a hero medal. Among them, the first-class merit medal was that Grandpa used two hundred troops to wipe out thousands of enemies, and Grandpa also broke his right leg and calf in that battle."
Uncle Jiang Liu sighed, "Yes, I heard from Uncle San that year."
"After the war, my grandfather took my grandmother and father back to the hometown Hexi Village where he gave birth to him. He never left since then until he died seven years ago." Jiang Yu looked up at the man in front of him, "and my father was the captain of the commune for many years, and people in the village can be said to be much better than other communes. If anyone can help with any difficulties, he will never refuse."
When Uncle Jiang Liu heard this, no matter how slow he was, he knew that Jiang Yu came to the door this time not just to chat.
"Erni, what are the difficulties to tell Uncle Six that I have a good relationship with your father. Your family helped me a lot at that time, and I would not refuse."
"Thank you, Uncle Six." Jiang Yu bowed to the other party, "My parents passed away at the end of last year, and there were only three of us siblings left in the family. Although life is much harder than before, we can eat and wear warm clothes, so it is not trouble for Uncle Six. However, I want to ask Uncle Six to persuade Aunt Pang. If you don't have onions or leeks at home, you can exchange eggs with us. Now my family only depends on my elder sister to support it. It is not easy to grow such a little vegetable outside the family. After all, there is no other item, and there is still a younger brother who wants to go to school at home. If Aunt Pang goes to my house every few days to get some food, to be honest, our family really can't stand it, please give it a favor."
"You little girl..." Fat Aunt didn't expect Jiang Yu to be waiting for her here, and was exposed directly in front of the man, and her face suddenly became unhooked.
"Shut up!" Uncle Jiang Liu turned his head and scolded, "Er Ni, this is not the case of Uncle Liu. Don't worry, Uncle Liu left the words here today, and this will never happen in the future."
"Uncle Xie Liu, then I'll go back, and I won't delay your lunch break." Jiang Yu bowed to the other party again, turned around and left.
"Er Ni wait first." Uncle Jiang Liu called Jiang Yu and turned around and entered the room.
Aunt Fat glared at Jiang Yu fiercely, raised her hand and pointed in the air, "Damn girl, wait, you're good-looking."
After a while, Uncle Jiang Liu walked out again, putting eggs in plastic bags in his hand, and there were more than a dozen.
"His dad, what are you doing?" Fat Aunt was stunned.
Uncle Jiang Liu ignored his wife and stuffed the bag of eggs into Jiang Yu's hand, "Erni, if you hold this egg, it's considered Uncle Liu's apologies to you."
Jiang Yu did not refuse, and thanked Uncle Jiang Liu with the egg and left calmly in the eyes of Fat Aunt like a sharp knife.
Seeing that the dead girl left with the eggs, Fat Aunt almost rushed up and tear her man alive.
"What are you crazy about? It's the chicken I raised. The eggs I finally saved are waiting to go to the market tomorrow to sell them. You gave them to that dead girl?"
Uncle Jiang Liu looked at Aunt Fat, lowered his voice and roared, "Get into the house for me."
Aunt Fat was frightened by the old man's eyes, and her fat body trembled twice, and then quickly rushed into the house.
Uncle Jiang Liu followed into the house and closed the door, "You can clean my hands and feet in the future. Are you shameless? My parents are gone, and you still go to their house to steal things."
"How do I say it? I'm calling stealing? Just grab some, what's the matter with a few onions?" How many onions can the dozen or so eggs be replaced? It hurts her when she thinks about it.
"I'm blinded by the time I was so tired that I married you back." Uncle Jiang Liu looked at his wife's fat body, and the second person who was so fat in the Hexi Commune was not able to find a second person so fat. "What do you think Erni is here to hold her grandfather's military medal? When Uncle San was here, the city and county came to visit every year. You are so fucking, let me tell you what you are good. Look, who in our commune dares to bully the three children next door? You are the stinky girl, and the feces are poured into your head?"
"You didn't see it when Uncle San left. There were so many officials who came." If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Jiang Liu would really go up and kick it. "If you dare to go to the next door to steal three or four twists, I'll chop your claws."
