The reborn little painting treasure had a great time in the 1960s

Gu Erlai's wife didn't say anything after being scolded. When she entered the house and saw her husband sleeping soundly, she felt upset and wondered when this hopeless life would end.

She sat on the bed, silently shedding tears, thinking, why did she marry such a man, she was really blind. But life had to go on, she wiped her tears, went out with Xiaoya and started preparing dinner.

However, Gu Erlai did not understand his wife's painstaking efforts and often lost his temper after drinking.

Faced with her husband's misunderstanding and criticism like a storm, she felt like a leaf trembling in the wind, extremely aggrieved, but for the sake of her children, she chose to be as tough as a stone.

As for Tang Hua, before she had time to catch her breath, Gu Xi pushed her down on a chair. Without saying a word, Gu Xi turned around and went to boil water and kill a chicken. Tang Hua looked at the busy figure in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Seeing Gu Xi busy in the kitchen, she volunteered, "Brother Xi, I'll go call the village chief, uncle, and aunt to come over for dinner tonight! There are still many dishes in the cupboard, you can cook them."

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Zhonghua came out from the inner room. He looked at the little girl in front of him and asked with a smile, "What delicious food are you cooking?"

When Tang Hua turned around, she saw her great-grandfather standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

She immediately ran over, hugged Gu Zhonghua's thighs, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, when I went to the mountains to play today, I met a pheasant. After I brought it back, Old Lady Liu actually wanted to snatch it away. Fortunately, Grandpa Gu, the village chief, and his uncle scolded her. I'm just going to tell them not to cook tonight and come to our house for dinner."

As Tang Hua said this, she looked up at Gu Zhonghua with a proud look on her face. Gu Zhonghua couldn't help laughing, touched Tang Hua's head, and praised: "Our Huahua is really good! Then you go tell them, so that your two grandmothers won't cook again."

After hearing what his great-grandfather said, Tang Hua ran out the door happily.

Soon, she arrived at the village chief's house and shouted for the village chief and his family to go to the great-grandfather's house for dinner in the evening.

The village chief agreed with a smile, and Tang Hua ran back to his aunt's house.

After she conveyed the invitation, the aunt repeatedly praised Tang Hua for being well-behaved and sensible, and even gave her a handful of White Rabbit milk candies that Gu Xi had brought back.

Tang Hua took the candy with great joy, thanked her aunt, and ran back home happily.

As soon as she got home, she saw Gu Xi standing in the kitchen preparing to cook with brown rice, so she rushed over to stop him and said anxiously: "Brother, don't use brown rice! It tastes better when cooked with whole rice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hua ran to the cupboard impatiently, opened the door quickly, took out the snow-white rice, and then muttered in a low voice: "Eat this, Huabao has a lot of it! Brown rice of that color will make your throat ache, it's not tasty at all, my grandfather and I don't like to eat it, we just put it there for show."

Then she took out a few eggs and a large piece of fragrant bacon from the cupboard.

Gu Xi watched her skillful movements. Tonight, everyone was having dinner with their family, so it was okay to eat rice.

After all, he had been to the cellar before! It was filled with white rice!

Since Huabao came, their family's diet has undergone tremendous changes.

In the past, they could only eat brown rice porridge and steamed corn bread for every meal, but now, they eat white rice for eight months a year. Fortunately, their parents, two uncles and aunts are all tight-lipped, which led to the brothers and sisters in the family keeping the secret very much. No matter how old they are, they never announce to others what they have eaten today. If someone asks, they just say they have eaten steamed corn bread.

Gu Xi followed Huabao's advice and started washing the rice.

Gu Zhonghua was drinking tea and listening to the radio in a rocking chair in the yard. Tang Hua was picking vegetables in the backyard. She moved lightly in the vegetable field and soon filled a basket with fresh vegetables.

When she returned to the front yard carrying a large basket of vegetables, the village head's grandmother and aunt happened to walk in from the door. They saw Tang Hua's small figure at a glance, and she was carrying a large, heavy basket of vegetables in her hands. They felt so distressed that they hurried forward and took the basket from Tang Hua's hand.

The village head grandmother gently stroked Tang Hua's head, her eyes full of love: "Oh, my little Huabao, how could I let a child as young as you carry such a heavy basket? Are you tired?"

The aunt at the side also echoed: "That's right, you two grown men, one is less than 60 years old, and the other is 18 years old and an adult, and you actually let a six-year-old child carry a basket to pick vegetables! You have no shame!" After saying that, the aunt glared at the eldest brother who was still lying in the rocking chair.

Gu Zhonghua opened his eyes and took a look. He knew he was in the wrong, but he still defended himself, "Isn't this just to let the child exercise..." They didn't know, but didn't he know? Let alone a basket of vegetables, even if Huabao carried ten baskets of vegetables, it wouldn't be a problem.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his aunt: "That's not how you exercise! What if the child gets hurt? As a grandfather, you're not only absent all day and let Huabao cook for himself, but you're also so irresponsible!"

Gu Xi also felt a little guilty. After all, it was not appropriate to let his sister carry such a heavy basket.

Seeing that they were silent, the aunt turned around and walked into the kitchen angrily and started to help cook dinner. While she was busy, she kept muttering to herself: "Really, these two guys don't know how to take care of people! Fortunately, I came, otherwise poor little Tang Hua would have suffered..."

"That's right, these two don't know how to feel sorry for little Huabao at all. How can such a delicate girl do such heavy work?" the village head's grandmother also said.

Tang Hua, who had been silent the whole time, heard that her aunt and the village head's grandmother had not yet let go of her great grandfather and second brother, so she stepped forward and said, "Aunt, it was Huabao who wanted to pick the fruits himself, so please stop scolding grandpa and brother."

When the village head and the aunt heard what Tang Hua said, they shook their heads helplessly. Tang Hua ran into the kitchen, handed the vegetables to the aunt, then stood on tiptoe and looked at Gu Xi who was busy at the stove, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Second brother, the bacon can be divided into two pieces, one for stir-fried cabbage and the other for stir-fried garlic sprouts. I want to eat stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, is that okay?" Tang Hua said in a low voice.

Gu Xi smiled and nodded, "Of course, go out and play. If you stay here, your brother will scold you again."

After hearing this, Tang Xianghua laughed happily as if she had eaten honey. Her bright eyes almost curved into crescents. She responded crisply and ran out of the kitchen impatiently. She brought a small stool and sat obediently next to her grandfather.

Tang Hua was busy pouring some tea for the old man, and then peeling a walnut and feeding it to him. The village chief and Gu Weiqi, who had just stepped into the yard, saw this scene. They couldn't help but feel a little sad, and secretly muttered in their hearts: "This little girl really knows how to please the old man!"

The village chief walked over slowly, looking at Gu Zhonghua with a bit of disdain, muttering: "I say, old man, there is no old man like you in our village! Look at this, what kind of treatment is this? You actually have the nerve to let Xiao Huabao do this kind of thing for you."

After saying that, he sat down next to her, then turned to Tang Hua and said, "Huabao, the village chief wants to eat walnuts, too."

When Tang Hua heard what the village chief said, he looked at Gu Zhonghua and Gu Weiqi, then looked at the village chief, as if thinking about what to do.

Seeing that Tang Hua did not respond immediately, the village chief continued, "Oh, I'm old, and no one peels walnuts for me anymore." He spoke with a pitiful look on his face.

Tang Hua was finally amused by the village chief. She nodded and agreed, "Grandpa Village Chief, I will peel a walnut for you." As she spoke, she picked up a walnut, skillfully peeled the shell with a knife, handed the walnut kernel to the village chief, and then peeled another one for Gu Weiqi.

The village chief took the walnut kernel and chewed it with satisfaction. He praised while eating, "Well, the walnuts peeled by Huabao are really delicious! He is so sensible." He glanced at Gu Zhonghua again and said with a smile, "You old man, it is a blessing to have such a granddaughter after eight hundred years of cultivation!"

Gu Zhonghua listened and took a sip of tea with a smile, "That's right, that's why you are not as lucky as me."

Soon, people who had gone to work came back one after another.

At this moment, there are only the village chief and his grandmother in his family. Their only son works in the county town, while their two grandsons and one granddaughter are studying in the county town together.

On weekdays, only the couple would return to the village to visit their parents during holidays, and during school holidays, the children would come back to accompany their elders.

As for Gu Weiqi, his uncle was still working in the transport team and had become the team leader; his aunt later found a job in the county town because of his uncle, and after Xiaoqi and Xiaoba went to school, they also went to the county town to study.

My second uncle and second aunt went to live in the county town in 64. One of them worked as a temporary worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the other was a full-time employee of the steel plant.

These job opportunities were obtained by my great-grandfather by chance, while my uncle and aunt stayed in the village to live with the two elders.

My second uncle and third uncle each give 10 yuan to my eldest uncle's family every month to take care of the living expenses of the two elderly people.

In addition, the two old people can also receive 5 yuan in maintenance from each family every month. In fact, after calculating this way, the income is basically balanced, because people in the county town also need food and drink. Originally, I wanted to give another 5 yuan to the grandfather every month, after all, the job was given by the grandfather, but the grandfather refused. He was not short of money at all, especially after he and Xiao Huabao sold grain on the black market, he was even less short of money. However, every time the second uncle and second aunt came back, they would buy some food for the grandfather and Huabao.

Therefore, a harmonious family has no direct relationship with the number of family members. What is more important is the cultivation of family members' education, character, and world outlook, values ​​and values.

After a while, Gu Nan and Gu Lin also came in. Now they are brother and sister, one is in the second grade and the other is in the first grade of junior high school. Gu Lin didn't go to school until she was eight years old, because Huabao had just arrived that year, and she didn't want to go to school anymore when she saw her lovely sister. When she was eight years old, she was still chased by her aunt with a stick.

When everyone had returned, the aunt shouted, "Come to the main room to eat." Gu Lin snatched Huabao's hand from Gu Nan, then took her sister's hand and went in. Everyone looked confused. Why was she snatching like this?

Several men drank intermittently, while others ate and chatted. At this time, Gu Weiqi put down his glass and said, "Another wave of educated youth is coming. I went to a meeting this morning and heard that there were seven or eight old people going to the cowshed, plus a dozen educated youth. Hey."
