When the boy's parents were going out, they happened to see their son being carried away by his blind date.
I was confused at the time, and after I realized what I was doing, I immediately chased after him with all my strength.
But in the end, he failed to catch up, and in the end he could only bite his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, forcing himself to recognize such a daughter-in-law.
With such a lesson learned from the past, who would dare to believe what they say.
The man Zhaodi blushed for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "That happened some time ago. It's no longer like that now, why not..."
Zhao Di on the side looked threatening, as if she would eat people if she didn't agree.
Old Wu's eyes rolled around, and the next second, he covered his stomach and screamed "Ouch, ouch".
"My stomach hurts so much, I have to go..." Before he finished speaking, Old Wu ran away in a panic.
Seeing Zhao Di's disappointed face, she turned to look at the others around her.
Everyone's eyes froze, and cold sweat broke out inexplicably on their backs even though it was such a hot summer.
"Ahem, Xiaoyu, what is that in your hand?"
Some people's mouth is faster than their brain and they speak subconsciously.
Zhang Yu was stunned when he was mentioned at first, and raised the "brick" in his hand in confusion.
"I don't know. I don't recognize the one that fell out of the hole just now. I just wanted to take it out to see if anyone recognized it."
After hearing what he said, everyone became interested.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Before Zhang Yu finished speaking, a group of young people quickly surrounded him with their agility.
They looked at the "bricks" in Zhang Yu's hands curiously, with exploratory light shining in their eyes.
But after taking a closer look, they all shook their heads helplessly and said in unison: "I don't know, I don't know!"
"Give way, give way!" An older man pushed his son away, his tone full of disdain.
"You little bastards, you still lack experience. You don't know this or that." The older man couldn't help but shake his head. Although his voice was low, the people next to him could hear it clearly.
He went up to take a look, and felt that the thing in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.
He gritted his teeth, and before he could sigh that he was in trouble, he was laughed at by the little brat in their eyes.
The older man cast a sideways glance at his brat and gave him a look that said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get home."
At the critical moment, the old party secretary stood up.
Looking at the "brick" in Zhang Yu's hand, he slapped his thigh and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes: "Isn't this just a glutinous rice brick?"
One sentence was like clearing the clouds and revealing the sun, making all the young and old present suddenly realize.
The younger generation is indeed a little confused: "What the hell are glutinous rice bricks?"
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the younger generation, the old party secretary explained with a smile: "That's what it means on the surface. Earlier, some wealthy families would make glutinous rice bricks, and beat the cooked glutinous rice hard into bricks.
After the shape is completely dried in the sun and then stored, it can last for many years.”
As the old branch secretary explained, everyone present seemed to think of something and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"How much glutinous rice will be used?" A young man couldn't help but sigh.
Let alone glutinous rice, even if it is rice, he has never eaten it a few times in his entire life.
The old branch secretary smiled and shook his head, ignoring the reaction of the younger generation.
Instead, he turned to look at Zhang Yu and asked: "Xiaoyu, are there many glutinous rice bricks down there?"
Zhang Yu immediately recalled the scene in the cave. He nodded without hesitation and confirmed: "There are indeed many glutinous rice bricks down there, covering the entire wall."
These days, food is in short supply, and anything related to food is extremely precious.
When the old party secretary heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly urged the villagers to prepare tools and prepare to go down to the cave to check.
After a while, a team of young and strong young men, led by the old party secretary, carefully entered the cave.
It was dark inside the cave, but as they gradually went deeper, the sight in front of them shocked everyone - there was only a whole wall of glutinous rice bricks.
The number is staggering.
Someone was so excited that he almost jumped up. He quickly crawled out of the hole and loudly reported to the people outside: "There are so many! There are so many glutinous rice bricks down there!"
This news spread throughout the village instantly, and everyone present couldn't help but cheered, as if they had seen some hope.
The old party secretary is orderly directing the villagers to check the storage situation of the glutinous rice bricks.
On the other side, the news seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout the Xie family brigade.
After hearing the news, several elders of the Xie family hurried over, their steps staggering but unable to conceal their eagerness.
As soon as they stepped into the crowd, before they could stand firm, a burst of excited shouts pierced the crowd: "4,600 glutinous rice bricks, a total of 4,600 glutinous rice bricks!"
This number exploded in the ears of the old people like thunder. Their eyes instantly became wet, and tears meandered down between the wrinkles.
"It's too late!" An old man's voice trembled, tears intertwined with his words.
Several other elderly people were also muttering to themselves, with endless regret and self-blame in their voices.
"If these glutinous rice bricks had been discovered earlier, the villagers wouldn't have had to survive those three years, and they wouldn't have been in bad shape..."
They cried as they talked, and their grief was beyond words, as if those difficult years were reappearing in front of their eyes.
His words touched the heartstrings of everyone present, and many people could not help crying, with sadness and regret intertwined together.
When the old branch secretary saw this, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The hardships of those three years were still before his eyes. He knew well the pain in the hearts of the old people. He quickly stepped forward and comforted him in a low voice: "Uncles, don't be sad. We have made it through those few years, and everything is fine."
We still have to look forward.”
With some comfort from the old branch secretary, the mood of the elderly people gradually calmed down.
They wiped away their tears, supported each other, and the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone couldn't help but chat about the origin of these glutinous rice bricks.
There is anything to say.
Several elderly people from the Xie family looked at each other and took the initiative to talk about the secrets of the Xie family.
In fact, these glutinous rice bricks can be regarded as a retreat left by the Xie family ancestors for future generations.
Whenever the year is good, several wealthy members of the Xie family will work together to make some glutinous rice bricks and store them in special holes.
These glutinous rice bricks can be kept for several years.
In addition, when new glutinous rice bricks are put in every year, the original glutinous rice bricks will be inspected and those that have not been stored well will be replaced.
Of course, these replaced glutinous rice bricks will not be wasted.
Glutinous rice is a relatively precious fine grain, so why don’t you waste it.
These discarded glutinous rice bricks are generally distributed to those in the tribe who are in more difficult circumstances.
In times of disaster, these glutinous rice bricks are life-saving food!
A large part of the reason why the Xie family has passed it down from generation to generation is due to these glutinous rice bricks.
Gradually, even after the Xie family came to an end, they still maintained this habit.
But something happened later and this habit suddenly stopped.
Fewer and fewer people know about it later, and even the hole in the ground where the glutinous rice bricks were stored is unknown. Now only the older generation of the Xie family know about it.
Having said this, several elderly people from the Xie family knelt on the ground with a thump and kowtowed several times.
He shouted: "The descendants are unfilial and fail to continue the rules of their ancestors..."
These unfilial descendants have to rely on their ancestors for help.
After struggling for a long time, the old party secretary was silent for a moment, walked to several elderly people from the Xie family, and shouted to the oldest person: "Uncle, what should I do with these glutinous rice bricks?"
Several elderly people from the Xie family glanced at the people around them, and their first reaction was that the real disaster year has passed. Although this year is a little more difficult, with the water pump made by Xiaoyu, it is not a problem to bite the bullet, and the glutinous rice bricks will naturally continue to be sealed.
stand up.
To put it bluntly, if the situation of those three years were to happen again, with these glutinous rice bricks, the Xie family's brigade would not starve to death.
But looking at the excitement in the eyes of many people, they looked sternly and knew that the location of the cave had been exposed. If they didn't reveal it at all, people's hearts would be scattered.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Take out half of it and divide it."
After that, he added: "After two years the situation has eased and the situation has improved, I will make a batch of glutinous rice bricks or sweet potato bricks to make up for it."
The old party secretary nodded vigorously: "It should, it should."
In the end, each family in the brigade was given a different number of glutinous rice bricks according to their population and size.
Of course, some people believe that these glutinous rice bricks were left by the Xie family’s ancestors to future generations and should not be distributed to people with other surnames.
But such words were suppressed by the old people in the village and the old party secretary and captain.
They are old and mature, and they understand the current situation. If they do not distribute it to people with other surnames in the village, although the Xie family can get more, but once people's hearts are in chaos, there may be more disasters.
Looking at the glutinous rice bricks distributed, many people murmured privately.
"I thought there was a baby down there..."
Before he finished speaking, I got a slap in the face.
"What? This isn't considered a treasure. What other treasures do you want?"
The young man rubbed his head with an aggrieved look: "I...I didn't think..."
His father glared at him fiercely. Who dares to say that the glutinous rice bricks are not treasures? Isn't this the biggest treasure?
Soon, the news that the Xie family's treasure had been found spread privately.
Many people in the brigade thought the news was true.
After all, after those three years, the importance of food in everyone's eyes can be imagined.
Who dares to say that food is not a treasure?
As for how some interested people will react after receiving this news, it is unknown.
No, maybe we can get a glimpse of it from the porcelain that was swept out of some rooms.
Anyway, it's a good thing for the Xie family.
The older generation of the Xie family also felt that there were fewer eyes staring at the Xie family. Someone must have believed the news.
The older generation of the Xie family gathered together and said nothing. They just smiled slyly and seemed to be planning something.
As the discoverer of glutinous rice bricks, Zhang Yu still received a share of thanks from the team even though he kept refusing.
After the team leader and the old branch secretary left, Zhang Yu looked at the dozen glutinous rice bricks that were forced to be placed on the table, and Zhang Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
But in this way, the fact that he fell into the hole could no longer be hidden.
One second ago, Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie were still smiling.
The next second, after seeing off the brigade leader and the old party secretary, the expressions of the two old men changed drastically.
Grandma Xie jogged a few steps, walked up to Zhang Yu, grabbed his arm, and the family checked him up and down carefully.
After confirming that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but have a hint of blame in her tone: "Xiaoyu, grandma doesn't ask you to be promising, as long as you are safe..."
Grandpa Xie, who was usually taciturn, rarely agreed at this time.
Zhang Yu reassured him again and again, almost drying up his mouth, and finally put an end to the nagging of the two old men.
In order to prevent the two old people from worrying, he did not dare to say anything about his injured foot.
Because of this incident, Zhang Yu was detained at home by the worried Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie.
It was only two days before he was to go back, and Zhang Yu rarely ran out again, but stayed at home with the two old people.
The rest of the family knew that he was going back soon, so they tried every means to bring good things to the house.
Because the weather is hot, I usually don’t put much of the food I bring back, and I basically eat it on the same day.
Zhang Yu's belly has become round after eating in the past few days, and he has gained a bit of weight.
Time is the most unchangeable thing in this world.
No matter how reluctant everyone is to say goodbye, the day of separation is coming soon.
Knowing that Zhang Yu had to catch the train, Grandma Xie and her two aunts got up early that morning and worked in the kitchen.
After breakfast, Grandma Xie quietly wiped away her tears to hide the reluctance in her eyes.
He handed a small bundle to Zhang Yu: "Xiao Yu! Here is the food prepared for you by grandma and your two aunts. There are boiled eggs and dumplings in it. You can keep it for the road. Well, there are also,
In the two oil paper bags at the bottom, there are egg pancakes prepared for you, so don’t be reluctant to eat them.”
Grandpa Xie also had a look of reluctance. He took out a wad of money from his pocket and forced it on Zhang Yu.
"Xiaoyu, the weather is hot and things won't last long. Don't be reluctant to eat the things your grandma prepared. Eat them as soon as possible.
You can buy food on the train, so don’t be afraid of spending money. If you get hungry on the way, just go buy a hot meal..."
Listening to the chatter of the two old men, Zhang Yu did not feel bored at all, but felt warm in his heart.
He kept nodding: "I know, I know, grandma, grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Touching the stack of money in his pocket, Zhang Yu wanted to take it out and return it to Grandpa Xie.
He is really not short of money.
Not to mention the money left by his parents, just the golden beans he got from signing in every day in the recent period are enough for him to be free and happy.
As if he saw Zhang Yu's thoughts, Grandpa Xie's face tightened: "You can keep it if I give it to you. Grandpa is not short of money. This money is the pocket money that grandpa gave you."
Grandpa Xie sighed with regret.
Today is different from the past!
Before, even if it was used as pocket money for the children, the money would not be available.
Xie Zhiyuan was also advising from the side: "Xiaoyu, just take it if your grandpa gives it to you. This is your grandpa's wish."
My eldest aunt also had a loving look on her face and urged: "Put it away quickly!"
