Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 275 Grandma
The structure of my brother-in-law's house is the same as that of my second aunt's house. The two houses are both simple houses.It's just that the room is not so clean, and there is no furniture.

Grandma lives in the back room, which is a kang.There are also two large boxes, which are supported by stools.No wardrobe or anything like that.

My uncle lives in an outhouse, with an iron canopy bed near the north wall.This kind of bed consists of two iron frames, with two triangle irons as supports on the sides, and then two square logs as cross arms, and several wooden planks are laid on top as bed boards.

The door and the window are one piece, and next to the window is a cupboard.There is a door on the bottom, rice and noodles are placed inside, and dishes and chopsticks are placed on the top.

In the middle of the room was a dining table with four stools.Meals and guests are all done around the table.The furniture is very old, it should be picked up from the ruins.

Grandma is cooking, and the staple food is rice.The dish was stewed cabbage with crunch.Crunching is a unique non-staple food in Tangshan, and Ye Yuze didn't understand what it was made of.

Divided into big creak and small creak.The big crunch is similar to pancakes, and the small grid is similar to vermicelli.Ye Yuze prefers to eat small creaks, and my brother-in-law's family should seldom eat this, because grandma only bought a little.

Like all northerners, every household stores some Chinese cabbage every winter.

The so-called cabbage price is that Chinese cabbage is extremely cheap when it comes down in autumn, and it costs more than ten catties for a dime.Common people like to dig a hole in the yard, put the cabbage in it, cover it with a plastic sheet, and finally bury it with soil.

However, my uncle's house obviously doesn't have enough cabbage.This is called showing that there is no money to buy so much.Generally, in a decent family, the cabbage stored is enough for one winter.

At this moment, the pit in his house is still there, but the cabbage inside is long gone, but there are some cabbage leaves beside the water tank in the outhouse.

Ye Yuze understood at a glance, his grandfather told him.Some people in the city who are not living well often go to the supply and marketing agency to pick up the leaves broken off by the salesman.

At that time, the supply and marketing cooperatives also stored a large amount of cabbage, which basically had to be sold for a whole winter, because there were few vegetables after all.However, when the cabbage is put out for sale for a while, the outer leaves will be rotten. At this time, the salesperson will break it off and throw it away.

People from poor families get up early every morning to stare at the salesperson.People break it off, and they pick up the better ones and eat them as vegetables.

Ye Yuze's nose was a little sour, and Grandma Xiao Bozi was over 70 years old.The waist is curved like my grandma.

Many old people in that era were like that, and their waists could not straighten up when they reached age.I don't know if it's because I was too tired when I was young, or because of nutritional problems.

At any rate, Ye Yuze bought some braised vegetables, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to use his chopsticks after eating the stewed vegetables.Grandma stared at Ye Yuze's opened paper bag in a daze for a while:
"You gave so much last time, and you bought it again today. If you spend money like this, won't your family talk about you?"

Ye Yuze smiled: "Grandma, my parents are in northern Xinjiang, and I live with my second aunt."

Grandma muttered: "It's also a poor child, who left home at such a young age."

It was only after Ye Yuze opened the pot that there was very little rice in it, probably not enough for him and his brother-in-law.However, there is a grate on top of the rice, and a few cornmeal buns are placed on it.

Grandma served each of them a bowl of rice, and then picked up a wotou and gnawed on it.

Ye Yuze pushed the rice to grandma, picked up a cornbread and gnawed it: "Grandma, you eat rice, I like to eat cornbread!"

This is not entirely a lie, Ye Yuze has basically never eaten this thing.Although cornmeal is thicker, it has a special fragrance.

Grandma glanced at him and said nothing. Ye Yuze picked up two pieces of pork head and put them into grandma's bowl:

"Grandma, eat quickly! If you don't eat, I won't eat either!"

The reason why I gave it to grandma was because Ye Yuze saw that if she didn't give it to her, she would definitely not pick it herself.It is estimated that the ones brought to me last time have also entered the belly of my brother-in-law.

Grandma finally took a bite of the rice, and then stuffed a piece of pork meat into her mouth.She has few teeth left, and she eats by rolling in her mouth a few times before swallowing.

After dinner, Ye Yuze went to pull coal with his brother-in-law, which was a small cart with two wheels and a long handle.People in Tangcheng call it Paiziche, but Ye Yuze doesn't know why it is called that, but the word "Pai" in this Paiziche has three sounds.

The row car was borrowed from the neighbors, and the three families who asked for coal were all neighbors on the same street. To buy coal, they needed coal capital, so they had to go to others to ask for the coal capital and money before going to the coal station.

The three companies didn't want much, but they couldn't mix it up, because they couldn't divide it when they came back.But Ye Yuze finally picked up a broken cardboard box to separate them, and pulled the two together.

However, when the truck was unloaded, the old lady of the first family personally supervised with a broom, and even cleaned the coal surface in her own house, lest the next family would take advantage of it.

Originally, it would take half a day to make three trips, so saving one trip will make you richer.The little brother earned a dollar and gave it to grandma, and he took the fifty cents and said to Ye Yuze:
"Shall I invite you to a movie?"

Ye Yuze didn't refuse either, it's rare for this guy to be so happy.On the way, my brother-in-law bought a box of spring plowing cigarettes, and the cigarettes cost one cent a box.

He picked up one and lit it in his mouth, and handed another to Ye Yuze.Ye Yuze also took it and lit it. He smoked cigarettes, but he was not addicted.I usually can't remember it.

But he shouldn't be considered a smoker, because it goes in the mouth and comes out the nose.Not breathing into the lungs at all.

The theater they came to was called the Great Wall Cinema. Ye Yuze suddenly remembered something and asked his brother-in-law: "Is there a Great Wall here? Where is the piece that the old bear said he was covering?"

The little uncle smiled and pointed to the cinema. : "Where is the Great Wall in the city? The Great Wall he mentioned is this cinema!"

Ye Yuze was a little confused, how could such an old movie theater bear cover himself?When we arrived at the ticket gate, there was already a long queue of ticket buyers.

Today's movie is "Xiyingmen!" It is a comedy, so the audience is particularly large.Ye Yuze couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"A city is a city! You can watch movies anytime!"

Think about it in northern Xinjiang, it takes almost a month to watch a movie.You have to wait for the projectionist to go down to the company to see it.There is a movie theater in the regiment headquarters, but the frequency of broadcasting is similar to that of the company.

The two were just about to line up to buy tickets when a voice came. : "Brother, do you two watch movies too?"

Ye Yuze turned his head to look, and it turned out that Big Bear was leading a few half-grown children to the side.The little brother nodded indifferently, as if he was not very enthusiastic about Big Bear.Big Bear didn't care, and said enthusiastically:
"Come to my site, why buy a ticket? Wait!"

After speaking, he directly pulled the two people to the side of the ticket gate.

Ask for collections, recommendations, monthly passes and investments.
