I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Chapter 56 Grandpa's 3-Year Theory

My grumpy mother called me and asked, "Xiaotao, what are you doing? Why don't you go home? It's so late."

Xiaotao quickly said, "I'll stay here with him. Fugui's mother is having dinner, and his grandparents are all here."

Why didn't you tell me earlier that I would pick them up? When my mother heard that something important was going on, she quickly asked about the situation.

They are all staying at the Garden Hotel now. They even went to my store this afternoon and bought a lot of things. We happened to have dinner together that evening.

Sister Xiaotao answered in one breath with a smile.

Hurry up, I'll tell you in detail when you come back. I'm embarrassed to explain it so clearly over the phone. Mom urged anxiously.

Dad joined in, Xiaotao, you too, what are you doing? Why didn’t you tell us so early in the morning? Why didn’t you tell us earlier so that we could go and take a look? Your mother-in-law is here now, and your mom is preparing to entertain them.

My mother smiled awkwardly beside me. I guess my father will be criticized soon.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, there was a slapping sound. I guess my mother was scolding my father again.

After dinner, Li Fugui sent Sister Xiaotao home.

The two of them were happily chatting with each other on the way.

Li Fugui asked in surprise, "This is really good stuff you gave us to eat. Where did you get it from?"

Sister Xiaotao smiled mysteriously and said, I have a master but I can’t tell you.

Li Fugui understood that this must be the secret of the XX sect.

If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t talk about it! But I hope you can do more.

The elderly in my family are not in good health, and I hope I can help them more.

At this time, spend as much time with them as possible.

Grandpa’s regret is that he didn’t find Li Xi to help him.

We should try our best to help him with this matter.

Last time I checked at the police station, there were probably more than 600 people of the same age who had done the same thing in the school.

It's not that easy to look up because the name is so common and everywhere.

Speaking of this, Sister Xiao Tao suddenly remembered that her grandmother should also be called Li Xi.

I quickly called my mom. Mom, is my grandma's name Li Xi?

Mom was very surprised. Yes, your grandma’s name is Li Xi.

Why did I suddenly think of asking your grandma's name?

The thing is, when Li Fugui's grandfather was a beggar as a child, he was once saved by a girl named Li Xi.

The age he was talking about was about the same as grandma's.

So I would like to ask, where was my grandma in the new city a year before liberation?

Your grandma grew up next to the Bell and Drum Tower when she was a child.

Your great-grandmother's family runs a cloth shop?

I went to the countryside only after liberation because I wanted to keep the land in the village.

Your great-grandmother's family had dozens of acres of land, and they were afraid that it would be taken back.

So I hurried to the countryside.

Unexpectedly, during the Cultural Revolution, I was excluded and classified as a landlord class.

I remember that your grandma was also a young lady and enjoyed a lot of blessings.

This shows that few old ladies in rural areas are literate.

But Xiaotao's grandmother is literate.

The identification of landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and bad elements began only after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Some things have passed and you can't regret them now.

Grandma had many of these habits, all of which she brought back from the city.

For example, grandma always has two pairs of slippers, one pair for indoors and one pair for outside.

He never wears his outside shoes indoors.

Also, he never eats raw or cold food.

You have to use a double boiler to evaporate it, and only eat it after it is hot.

This is a habit developed since childhood. Once you eat raw or cold food, you are prone to diarrhea.

On the contrary, look at those old ladies in the countryside, they don’t mind eating either raw or cold food.

Children who grow up in the city are much more pampered.

Life in the countryside is not something that ordinary people can easily endure.

This is really good news. Sister Tao is so happy that she almost jumps for joy.

"See if Grandma has any childhood photos. Back then, in those days, there were no childhood photos," Mom said angrily.

I think there should be one! I remember seeing it at my grandma’s house when I was little, in a photo of her when she was little.

It's amazing that photos from over four decades can be preserved.

My mom said I've never seen it, how do you know that grandma has childhood photos?

Sister Xiaotao smiled and said, I was more naughty than you when I was a child.

I often rummage through things in my grandma's old cabinet.

Mom laughed and scolded, "You naughty child, you're like a naughty kid all day long."

I'll call your uncle and ask him to go and see if he can still find it.

After a while, we were home soon.

Xiao Tao asked Li Fugui to go home with her. Li Fugui felt a little embarrassed because he was drunk that day and had a quarrel with his father-in-law.

I felt a bit useless. We went home together and my mom was so happy!

It seems like my daughter is about to get married.

Sister Xiaotao is a little angry. You really don’t want me to be at home.

At this time, my uncle called.

I actually found a few photos of my grandma when she was a child in her cabinet.

I took photos with my phone and sent them via WeChat. Sister Tao then forwarded these photos to my mother-in-law, your chairman.

Chairman Li quickly printed it out and showed it to the old man.

The old man was delighted when he saw her and said, "It's her, this little girl. Please help me contact her."

Everyone was very happy and congratulated the old man. The old man was very excited and went there immediately.

It was too late for your chairman to stop him. It would not be nice to disturb him.

Tomorrow, I'll have Xiao Tao pick you up early tomorrow morning. We can go visit my mother-in-law and have some fun for a few days.

The old man was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep that night.

I kept pulling my in-laws along and chatting about the past.

In the past, the old man's family was very wealthy. Half of the shops on the street were wealthy.

His great-grandfather's nickname at that time was... Just imagine, what does it look like to be able to call you half the city?

Think about the reasoning behind the person who can help you accomplish things.

According to past reports, the old man barely walked until he was five or six years old.

At that time, the family had a special servant, and they would carry him on their backs when they went out to play.

As soon as he walked onto the street, basically all his neighbors, including people on half the street, would give him things.

He had never suffered any hardship as a child, but he never expected that he would end up in such a situation.

So the old man often said that in the first 30 years of a person's life, he should endure all the hardships he can endure, and then in the next 30 years, he will not care about them anymore. Haha! Ha

My grandfather told my grandmother that when he was young, he almost learned to sing opera.

At that time, he had been away from the opera troupe for a long time, but was later caught up by his mother.

Because he is the only son in the family, if he goes to perform in the opera, he doesn't know whether he will be able to come back, and their family will be without a descendant from then on.

Older people still care very much about this.

Grandpa actually feels a little regretful.

He was unable to go to the opera house, and after his mother remarried, he had no choice but to beg for food until he was a teenager. He went hungry, slept in the open air, and slept on a cart at the transport station every day.

If you ask me, I would have been better off singing opera at that time.

In the new society, opera singers are no longer looked down upon. Look at many famous opera artists today; their work and life, including their overall political status, are all quite good.

Grandpa also agreed with him. That’s right, people should talk about the environment they are in. There is really no need to worry too much about it.

But you are doing well now. Your son is promising and you are capable too.

Look at you, your body is much better than mine. I have always envied you.

As a cultured man, my grandfather had to fight against his stomach problems every day. It was actually quite painful.
