Chapter 9 Zuzu, I brought you snacks
"Sister, dad, mom"
The bucket filled with pig food is almost as long as Yan's endurance and lacks nutrition since childhood, which makes Yan Xuhang's figure much shorter than his peers. Yan Xuhang grinned and struggled to carry the pig food to the steps. When he saw Yan Yunxi and others come back, he excitedly threw the scoop on his hand, and wiped the wild vegetable leaves on his hand on his butt while running.
"Sister, you are back. You are not here these days and no one works with me, which makes me exhausted."
Although Yan Xuhang complained, he still did not forget to take what Yan Yunxi had in his hand, so that Yan Yunxi could free up his hands to rest.
"You lazy guy, you're so tired to me just by having such a little housework."
Yan Yunxi's hand came out to scratch Yan Xuhang's collapsed and flat nose bridge, with a smile on his face and his eyes full of pampering. The two looked at each other, and Wang Yulian next to him also laughed.
"It's still comfortable to go home!"
After being hospitalized for so long and having another invitation from Yan Guoqing, Yan Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh that the golden nest and silver nest are indeed inferior to his own dog nest.
Yan Guoqiang took off the tobacco pole that he hadn't smoked for a long time on the wall, gently buckled it on the stone, and made a "clang" sound when the ashes in the pipe were shaken out. After shaking out the ash in the pipe, Yan Guoqiang carefully opened the old newspaper in the pipe, afraid that the tobacco was spilled out because of his rude movements. He chased the tobacco with his hand, then picked up a small squeezing tucked into the pipe, and took a match and stroked it on the matchbox. With a "wow" sound, the match stick fell. Yan Guoqiang covered the fire and lit the tobacco in the pipe, making a "rustling" burning sound. Yan Guoqiang took a breath, then lay comfortably on the lazy man and slowly shook it. It took a long time to spit out the cigarette from his nostrils.
"Oh, Guoqiang, are you back? It's comfortable to lie down."
"Zuzu, look, I brought you snacks. This cookie is so delicious, soft and not sweet. My colleagues love it."
The honest Yan Guoqiang is hard to say, and his younger brother's reputation has always been admired by people in the village.
Yan Zhongliang patted the biscuit crumbs on his body and deliberately kept it insincere.
Yan Zhongliang patted Yan Yunxi's hand who was holding on his arm. When he smiled, his white eyebrows were inverted, his long beard trembled, and his teeth full of smoke stains left by smoking a water tube cigarette for a lifetime looked a bit creepy and disgusting. Yan Zhongliang is a clean person. The old man in his sixties and seventies in the village doesn't like taking a bath very much. There is always a mud mixed with dust on his body that has been left for a long time. However, Yan Zhongliang often changes his clothes as dirty as he is dirty. Although his clothes are old, he washes them very clean. He was also a polite person in the past. He was a captain of all villages and has made contributions to the bandits. What he could not change was the good sip of water hookah.
Yan Zhongliang put down the biscuits in his hand and stroked Yan Yunxi's frown brow with his hands, "Don't always frown, it will not look good if you have wrinkles. Tell Zuzu if you have any worries."
Yan Yunxi saw that Yan Zhongliang was deliberately teasing her.
Yan Zhongliang, who is in his 100th year, is the longest-lived person in the village so far. Although he is old, his body is still very strong. He has to practice Tai Chi for a while before he can eat breakfast. The juniors at home all become officials outside and come back during festivals to get back together. Therefore, he is the only one who is at home on weekdays. Yan Yunxi will come to accompany him when he comes home for any time. Yan Zhongliang is also particularly loving for this granddaughter who has grown up.
"That's your third uncle. What qualifications do I have to say bad things about him?"
"What do you think of my third uncle?"
Niu Er, who opened a shop at the entrance of the village, walked past the courtyard wall of Yan Guoqiang's house with a hoe.
He built roads for the village so that every household could be opened to traffic. It was indeed a great contribution. No wonder everyone praised him for his ability and his ability to make such contributions to the village. Yan Guoqiang was also proud of him.
"well"
"As for me, it's too boring to be alone at home. I'll go to your grandpa's house next door to chat and bask in the sun. I'm so old that I can't get hot. No matter how much I wear, I still find it cold. I'll feel warm when I bask in the sun, and my legs and feet are also neat."
"Your third uncle? Why did you suddenly mention him? Your troubles have something to do with him?"
"Oh, Zuzu, where have you been? I have been searching for a long time but haven't found it."
"Oh, Brother Niu Er, why did you go down the floor? Come in and sit for a while?"
"My good granddaughter, what's wrong?"
"Oh, Zuzu, a lot of things have happened recently."
"Um?"
"Oh hoho hoho hoho, thanks my little granddaughter."
Looking at the great-grandfather in front of him who loved him a lot since childhood, Yan Yunxi seemed to have never heard of him commenting on Yan Guoqing. When she used to praise her third uncle for being good, he just smiled and said that he was not.
Yan Yunxi hugged Yan Zhongliang's arm happily.
Yan Yunxi held her cheek and watched Yan Zhongliang taste the cookies she brought back beautifully. She didn't know where to start looking for evidence of Yan Guoqing's illegal activities. She couldn't help but sigh as she thought about it.
"Oh, Zuzu, what else can you say to me? Don't keep it aside."
"Zuzu, Zuzuzu?"
"No, no, there is still a large area waiting to go through. It's not like you have a capable brother. We don't have that kind of rich relative, we can only work hard to get something."
"Oh, Xiaoyun, you're back."
Yan Yunxi hasn't come home for a long time. He is thinking about Zuzu, who is nearly a hundred years old under the house. He put down his things, took the biscuits he brought back to Yan Zhongliang from the city and went down to visit.
"Well, there is something that cannot be solved. Tell Zuzu, maybe the solution will come out."
A hoarse voice sounded from behind, and it was his great-grandfather Yan Zhongliang.
"I want to hear your opinion. When I talked to you about Uncle San before, you never said good things or bad things. I'm very curious about what you think of him."
"Ahhaha, where is this, Brother Niu?"
"Zuzu..."
Yan Yunxi shouted for a few consecutive times but no one responded. The chickens in the yard ran around for food. They looked around in front of and behind the house, but there was no one. Yan Yunxi was about to leave.
"to be honest?"
"Of course!" Yan Yunxi waited quietly for him to speak.
Yan Zhongliang stroked his white beard and spoke slowly: "Your third uncle wants to hold everything in your hand. If you want something, you will do everything. When I was a child, I saw that he is not simple."
Yan Zhongliang still stroked the gray beard on his chin and fell into memories.
