Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

The old lady laughed, "Even so, he kept saying that he didn't regret eating the porridge! He just regretted that he was young and timid at the time. He should have drunk all the porridge!"

Han Zhaozhao couldn't understand, was it really worth it to get hurt for a full meal? And let her grandfather remember this feeling until he grew old?

Han Zhaozhao: "Grandma, what does it mean to eat a strong meal?"

“After eating a strong meal, my body suddenly grows very fast, and I feel like there is a hole in my stomach, and I can never feel full no matter how much I eat.

Your grandfather was in bed for more than half a month that year, but it didn't stop him from growing a foot taller that year.

He's only sixteen, but he's already 1.8 meters tall. He grows so fast at that age!"

Han Zhaozhao: "Grandma, I'm the same as my grandpa. I've also felt like my stomach is like a funnel recently. No matter how much I eat, I can't feel full.

Even if I eat until I'm 70% to 80% full, I'll be hungry again in less than an hour.

I was worried because I ate quite a bit! My stomach wasn't bloated, so where did all the food go?

I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you would worry. It seems that I have grown up and have a strong appetite now!"

Haha! She finally said it out loud! Thanks to her grandma for finding an excuse for her. If she didn't say it out loud, she would ask her grandma to stew fish, chicken and meat every day, and she would become a real greedy girl.

Growing up is really the best and most reasonable reason!

In the evening, the grandparents and grandchildren had dinner together. The old lady kept putting meat into Han Zhaozhao's bowl. She ate potatoes herself and refused to eat a single piece of chicken.

"This pheasant soup is okay, but eating the meat is really not that tasty. It's just bones, not even as delicious as potatoes!"

The old lady took back the chicken leg that her granddaughter passed to her and even found an excuse for not liking chicken.

Han Zhaozhao: Old lady, I have done the same thing as you! You say one thing and mean another! You are reluctant to eat it yourself, but you only care about your child.

Han Zhaozhao picked up the chicken pieces with more chicken legs and breast meat and gave them back to her.

"Grandma, you are lucky to have a good child like me who knows how to care for others. You can't be like this. You don't even know how to care for yourself. As your children, you just want to care for you, and you think you don't need it or like it!

You said you don't like chicken because it has bones. Isn't that a lie? Even if a chicken is not big, it still has some meat. Here, these pieces of meat don't have many bones. Eat them!"

old lady:"……"

"You gave me all the good meat, what did you eat? Didn't you keep nagging about being greedy and wanting to eat meat?

I spent so much effort to cook it for you, why did you give it all to me? Han Zhaozhao, I'm telling you, give it to me. If you keep complaining that you haven't had enough, I won't care about you. "

Han Zhaozhao was gnawing on a chicken claw, making a crunching sound, and said with a grin: "Grandma, people say that chickens eat bones and fish eat bones!

Isn't eating chicken just for gnawing on the bones? My teeth are better than yours, the chicken feet, chicken head, chicken neck and chicken wings are all mine, please don't fight with me for them.

I like to eat bones, because the more you chew them, the more delicious they become. "

The old lady slowly chewed the chicken thigh that her granddaughter picked for her, and smiled, "You are just a little rascal! Okay, grandma knows that you love grandma, so I will only eat these few pieces, and you can have the rest!

But eat slowly, you have nothing else to do tonight, don't be so impatient that you might lose your teeth."

Han Zhaozhao: "..."

Looking at the bloody little canine tooth in the palm of her hand, she felt like crying but had no tears!

"Grandma, who gave you the golden seal? Look, I really lost a tooth."

The old lady was shocked. "Oh my god! Did I really get it right? How did you really bite off a tooth? Let me see if it's broken or eaten by worms."

The mother and daughter huddled together under the light bulb and looked at the little baby tooth.

Han Zhaozhao: "Granny, it's not worm-eaten! It should be a normal tooth replacement. I felt this tooth was loose the day before yesterday, and I thought it could last another ten days or so!

I didn't expect that eating chicken tonight would cause it to be laid off early! Grandma, please pour me a glass of cold water so I can rinse my mouth."

The old lady brought Han Zhaozhao a glass of water and watched her rinse her mouth. She opened her mouth and insisted on using a flashlight to see which tooth had fallen out and whether a new tooth had grown underneath.

Han Zhaozhao stuck out his tongue and licked it. He could feel something hard on his gums. Although they had not yet come out, he could tell that there were small teeth.

She covered her mouth and yelled, "Grandma, stop picking my mouth, the corners of my mouth are about to be pulled apart.

The baby's teeth are coming out, and I licked them. Don't worry, it's really a tooth change, it's not damaged."

The old lady put down the flashlight doubtfully, "Are you really okay?"

Han Zhaozhao closed her mouth tightly and nodded vigorously, "It's mother's business, mother's business, don't worry!"

It’s bad, Han Zhaozhao was startled, why is there a leak?

The old lady was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. While laughing, she did not forget to comfort her granddaughter, "Why are you still shy? Who hasn't lost a tooth when they were a child? It's normal!"

Han Zhaozhao: "..."

Need you tell me? She has been an old witch for so many years. She used to laugh at others. Now she finally gets her retribution. It's other people's turn to laugh at her. She's just a little embarrassed!

After dinner, the grandparents and grandchildren had nothing to do, so they worked together to weave baskets and use roasted wild jujube trees as lashings.

Han Zhaozhao has collected more than 20 pieces of jujube wood of uniform thickness. He uses these wooden sticks to roast and heat them, bends them into suitable curvatures, and secures them with hemp ropes. After a day or two, they will be formed.

Jujube wood is stronger and more durable than jujube wood and acacia wood. The baskets and handles made of bent wood can be used for many years. Sometimes the baskets and baskets made of yellow broom twigs are broken, but its wood will not break.

The frame and basket can be replaced and reused.

This kind of wood will develop a patina after being used for a long time, and its service life can be passed down for several generations.

The grandfather and grandson also bent a few pieces of jujube wood and inserted them into the cracks between the bricks of the courtyard wall. They tied a rope to the other end and hung a stone on it. The resulting basket could be used to carry it.

The old lady also fell in love with the basket weaving craft and told Han Zhaozhao: "When you see thin thorns on the mountain, cut some and bring them back. I heard from Old Man Wang that we can sell them in the market.

A well-woven basket can be sold for 80 cents, and a basket can be sold for 50 cents.

After a few busy days, there was less work at the purchasing station, so grandma took the rattan to the purchasing station to weave it.

Even if I'm slow, I should be able to weave a basket a day. I'm just sitting around chatting anyway, so I can earn at least ten yuan by weaving for a month and selling them."

Han Zhaozhao nodded and said, "Xing, give these ten to E and I will make sure they are handed over to Ning.

Milk, when you are weaving baskets, don't be reluctant to wear gloves. The recycling station will throw them away, and you won't have any children if you keep them.

Use it when you need to, but don't make the pruning cut. It hurts a lot in winter, and you will suffer for yourself.

Also, don’t forget to apply the horse oil I bought for you. Although it attracts dust, it has a very good moisturizing effect.”

The old lady disagreed: "I haven't said anything to you yet. Don't spend your money carelessly. I'm so old, I'm not a young wife who still cares about beauty. Why are you buying me horse oil and balm? It will make people laugh if they know about it."
