ordinary human life

"Which village are you from?" He Sihai asked.

"The tall one in front." said the old lady.

"Xiao Gao?"

When she said this, He Sihai was a little stunned, thinking who this old lady was, why did he say she looked familiar.

Xiaogao refers to Xiaogao Village, where most of the villagers have the surname Gao.

The old lady's house lives on the west side of Xiaogao Village, and Huilong River is behind the house.

The Huilong River is an artificial river. In the past, it was dug out entirely by manpower. At that time, digging the river was counted as work points, and every family had to pay for it.

The reason why He Sihai remembered it was that he didn't actually know the old lady's name.

I only know that others call her Mrs. Gao, and she has been picking up trash in the town before.

The old lady is older than He Sihai's grandmother.

My son is almost sixty years old.

The grandchildren are all married.

His great-grandson is Gao Ming, and he should be in junior high school this year. Although He Sihai is not familiar with him, he used to go to the same school, and he often met on the way home from school, so he is considered acquainted.

"You are Gao Ming's grandma, right?"

"Yes, yes." The old lady seemed very happy to see He Sihai recognized her.

Then he asked doubtfully, "Do you know our Gao Ming?"

"Yes, I'm from the east side of the village, from He Tao's family." He Sihai pointed to the east side of the village.

"He Tao? Is it Sister Pan's house?" the old lady asked after thinking about it with confusion.

"Yes, it's my grandma."

Mrs. Gao called Grandma He Sihai the eldest sister, which is just a polite address in the countryside, and it does not mean that she is older.

"Your grandma took a step ahead of me. I should be able to see her soon, but Sister Pan is so lucky." Mrs. Gao said enviously.

The reason why she envied him was because He Sihai was a god, so even if he died, wouldn't it be a blessing to have a god taking care of him?

He Sihai didn't explain much, but continued: "I don't know when you lost your money, and you can't find it now, so you should go back to Netherland as soon as possible."

Mrs. Gao was stunned when she heard the words, and sighed, "I promised Xiao Ming the money. He must be disappointed that he didn't get the money."

He Sihai didn't make a sound when he heard the words.

In fact, He Sihai knew that Gao Ming didn't like this grandma very much, because his classmates always laughed at his grandma for picking up rags.

He Sihai even saw the scene of meeting Mrs. Gao on Gaoming Road a few times, and often turned a blind eye to her. Even talking to her was very offensive, but Mrs. Gao always smiled.

In fact, Mrs. Gao's son and grandson are actually kind to her, not to say that they don't care about her.

In the countryside, there is no shortage of rice and oil, and it is not a problem to provide for Mrs. Gao's life.

But Mrs. Gao just can't stay idle, and likes to pick up all the rags at home.

He wandered around the town and various villages every day without stopping.

Speaking of it, there is another interesting story. When He Sihai was a child, he and his friends in the village even bombed the latrine of Mrs. Gao's house.

After being chased by Mrs. Gao's grandson, he ran away to several villages.

I won't talk about these embarrassing things now.

After all, once we get acquainted, we can help if we can.

"I accepted your wish, you go back first, I will go to your house tomorrow morning, Gao Ming should be at home?"

"Yes, yes, there is no class on Sunday." Mrs. Gao said hastily.

"However, I have cost you money, and I have nothing good to repay you." Mrs. Gao said embarrassingly, rubbing her hands.

"It's okay, and it doesn't cost much." He Sihai waved his hand.

"Thank you, thank you." Mrs. Gao thanked again and again, and then walked forward happily.

He Sihai looked at the old lady Gao who was going away, and remembered some rumors from the past.

I heard that Mrs. Gao originally had two children, a boy, Gao Ming's grandfather, and a girl.

But when there was a famine in the [-]s, there was no food at home, and the girl starved to death in the end.

Everyone in the village said that she was too patriarchal and starved her daughter to death for her son.

Everyone is not willing to associate with her, and her reputation is not good all her life.

In the generation of Gao Ming's father, it gradually got better, and these old memories were forgotten and rarely mentioned.

"Father, hurry up, why are you so slow, are you a grandpa?" Taozi yelled loudly with her waist in front of her.

"Come on, come on, I didn't expect you to run pretty fast with your short legs?" He Sihai walked over, patted her little head and said.

"Hmph, my legs are not short, but they are long." Taozi kicked her short legs twice in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, your legs are long, okay."

Then He Sihai took two quick steps, leaving her behind.

The little guy immediately ran after him angrily, stepping on his short legs.

He wants to fight to the death with the big villain He Sihai.

She learned this word from brother He Qiu, who often finds someone to fight to the death.

Of course, I also looked for her, she sneaked away every time, she is not a fool.

The two came to Uncle He Hong's house after arguing.

308 Meteor

"Hey, Four Seas is back."

At the door of Uncle He Hong, I happened to meet my aunt who was about to go out with a hoe.

"There's me, there's me." Tao Zi bouncing up and down with her arms up high, attracting the attention of her aunt, maybe she can't ignore the children.

"Taozi is back too." The aunt touched Taozi's little head.

"Hello, Auntie." Taozi called out obediently.

"You are also good, Taozi has gained weight." The aunt said.

"It's grown taller." Tao Zi corrected immediately.

"Yes, it has grown taller." The eldest aunt said with a smile.

Then lead the two into the house.

The uncle happened to be at home, so He Sihai took out the money without any detours.

They said the same thing to the fourth grandfather, and after some excuses, they put it away, and then asked to keep them for dinner.

In this way, I went to several houses in a row, and finally paid back all the money owed outside.

Debt free, although not much, but debt is debt, and there is always one thing on my mind.

"Let's go, let's go home." He Sihai hugged Tao Zi.

I ran with him several times in a row, and my short legs couldn't walk anymore.

But the little guy has a sweet mouth. Along the way, he picked up a lot of snacks, which couldn't fit in his small pocket, so he carried it in a small bag and said he wanted to go back and share it with his sister.

Passing by He Chuan's second uncle's house, he saw that the door of his yard was wide open. The second uncle was sitting in the yard plucking ducks with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Second Uncle." He Sihai walked in holding Tao Zi.

"Four Seas?"

The second uncle was a little surprised when he saw He Sihai, and the cigarette butt from his mouth fell down, and it landed on the back of his hand, causing him to jump up.

Peaches giggled.

"Every time I see you, kid, nothing good will happen." The second uncle bent down and washed his hands in the duck feather plucking basin, and then fished out the cigarette butt.

"How can you say that? I'm here to take care of your business. Bring me a roast duck. Do you have a pig's trotter? If you have one, bring me two too." He Sihai put Taozi down and said.

"Yes, there are..." Seeing that He Sihai really came to take care of the business, he immediately beamed with joy.

"It's agreed, no duck head, no butt." He Sihai said immediately.

"Understood, you boy, how dare you take advantage of you." The second uncle wiped his hands dissatisfied and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"Don't you wash your hands?" He Sihai said dissatisfiedly.

"Haven't you washed it?"

He Sihai looked into the basin where he plucked the duck feathers, and could smell the smell of hair from a long distance away.

"Really, it looks pretty good, don't worry, I'll make it for you wearing gloves." The second uncle said with a laugh.

This time He Sihai behaved a lot, and the second uncle also behaved a lot.

Honestly, He Sihai removed the duck's head and buttocks before going on the scale.

"This is for you." The second uncle handed the duck leg to Taozi without cutting it.

Tao Zi looked at He Sihai.

"Eat it, don't cut the other one."

Just go back to Xuanxuan, two little guys, one for each.

Only then did Tao Zi happily accept it, and then she was willing to hand it to He Sihai the plastic bag that had been clutched in her hand.

"How long will you stay this time?" Second Uncle suddenly asked.

"Leave tomorrow." He Sihai said.

"Is it okay to work outside?"

"good."

"If you can't get along, come back and learn how to sell stewed vegetables with your second uncle. Although you can't make a lot of money, you can't die of hunger, and there is meat to eat, more than enough to raise peaches." Said.

"Where's Brother Xiaohao?"

The brother Xiao Hao in He Sihai's mouth is He Hao, the son of the second uncle, who is several years older than He Sihai.

He Hao did not do well in school, so he went out to work after graduating from junior high school.

"He is making anti-theft doors and windows for people in the city, so he probably won't come back and sell braised vegetables to me." The second uncle said a little dissatisfied.

Making anti-theft doors and windows is hard work, and there are certain risks.

"But you earn a lot of money." To be honest, He Sihai wanted to go to He Hao for a while.

But making money is making money, it's just that the apprenticeship was too long, so He Sihai gave up.

"The income is indeed not bad, but I hope to be safe and sound." The second uncle said this, but his face was full of smiles.

"Then picked up a large piece of beef next to it, cut it without weighing it."

"For peaches, children eat less sugar."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he was a little bit reluctant, so he put half of it back.

"Taozi, say thank you quickly." He Sihai was not polite.

Tao Zi, who was concentrating on eating the duck leg, didn't know what happened, so she raised her oily face with a puzzled expression.

But still obediently said thank you.

Watching Sihai pull Tao Zi, who was gnawing on the duck leg, out of the courtyard.

The second uncle lit a cigarette again, took a deep breath, and sat back to pluck the duck feathers again.

……

"I'm home."

Seeing He Sihai coming back from a distance, Liu Wanzhao and Xuanxuan immediately ran down the small slope.

There is nothing at home, and the two of them are too boring.
