Sister Xiaoliu nervously took the photos, flipped through them a few times, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest, looked up and saw the stupid man in front of him, and suddenly became furious: "Pig-big-intestine!"

…

…

Not to mention what the situation was like there, Zhou Zhi had already boarded a Mitsubishi Pajero from the Municipal Commerce Bureau and returned to Jiachuan.

This unit, which has been abolished in later generations, is still in charge of the supervision and management of various markets and commodities such as sugar, tobacco, alcohol, electricity, cultural supplies, agricultural products, etc.

After thanking him at the door of the county government, Zhou Zhi headed home with a vinyl record and a large bag of candy and malted milk given by Miss Sixth Sister.

The administrative building that Jia Chuan later criticized in public notices has not yet been built. The current county party committee is not far from home, just downhill.

When we passed the intersection, the festive atmosphere had already begun, and there were many stalls selling firecrackers.

When I got home, my parents had gone to work, and my grandma was still working as a heroine as always. She raised her head when she heard the door knock.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Zhou Zhi shouted.

"My dear grandson is back?" Grandma, wearing thick reading glasses, looked at Zhou Zhi and smiled: "I haven't seen you in a few days."

"How many days are there?" Zhou Zhi put the things on the small table: "Just two days."

"Where did it come from?"

"I went to Manzhou. This is what the sixth lady downstairs asked me to bring to you. Didn't she go to Manzhou to work? I saw her this time too."

"Xiao Liu is the most beautiful building in our building. If you ask me to bring in a son-in-law, it would be better if he comes to visit us. He has to travel so far." Grandma asked again, "Have you gone to see the Bell and Drum Tower?"

Zhou Zhi was confused: "What Bell and Drum Tower?"

"There is a Bell and Drum Tower in Manzhou, half of which is in the sky." Grandma said, "You haven't even gone to see it?"

Ah Zhou Zhi remembered it now, picked up the yellow wax and cotton thread to help moisten the thread: "It's an old saying, the Bell and Drum Tower is actually not as tall as our building! In the past, there were bungalows and thatched houses, so the building just seemed taller."

"Yes?" Grandma smiled.

"No." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But I also met my uncle and aunt. They are both very nice, and I asked them to say hello to you."

"Is your uncle still like that?"

"What's it like?"

Grandma took off her glasses, slumped her face, and waited for Zhou Zhi with a look of bitterness and hatred: "This is it."

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi was so amused by her grandmother: "Except for having a wider face than you, that's pretty much it."

"Then it will still be a miserable life, a life of hard work." Grandma put on her glasses again: "Your aunt is still good-looking, with a broad basin and a big face, and she is a blessed person."

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, don't tell me, this is really the case.

"What are those pictures?"

"Oh, this is so precious." Zhou Zhi picked up a record, took out a little bit from it and showed it to grandma: "This is a record. Miss Sixth bought it for Mr. Yu. It's the one that makes the noise downstairs."

"If you want to have a good family, you must do good deeds, and if you want good children and grandchildren, you must study. My good grandson has been out shopping for a few days. After putting away his things, it's time to read."

Grandma is illiterate, but she knows uppercase and lowercase numbers from one to ten; she doesn't know math, but she can keep an abacus; she also knows money.

He can also play Jia Chuan's long cards, and is better than Zhou Zhi in drawing matching cards.

He can also draw grids and teach Zhou Zhi how to play chess games played in the fields, which his mother-in-law and grandson often play.

But what makes Zhou Zhi feel that her grandmother is the most powerful is the "Wen Ci'er" who often pops up unexpectedly.

I heard my grandma herself say that she only went to private school for half a year, and I don’t know where she heard these words from, but she still remembers them.

"Okay, I'll come as soon as I put my things away." Zhou Zhi carried the things in and took out a "Collection of Poems of the Wei and Jin Dynasties" from his bookshelf. After thinking about it, he put it back and replaced it with "Zengguang Xianwen" from the room.

He came out: "Grandma, let me read it for you and see what you know."

Grandma smiled and said, "You are over eighty and still taking exams?"

"Try it, there must be a lot of things you can do."

After saying that, he turned over a page at random: "Here we come - drinking wine with close friends, chanting poems to the people we meet; we have acquaintances all over the world -"

Grandma answered: "How many good friends do you have?"

Hmm? It should be about how many confidants there are. But it doesn’t affect the meaning of the text, it still means the same thing.

Moreover, from the perspective of the flat and oblique contrasts, the word "shi" in Jiachuan dialect has an entering tone, while the word "ji" has a falling tone, so "acquaintance" is not the right tone for "confidant" from a phonetic perspective, and it is obviously better to use "Zhijia"

It's catchy, and even the parts of speech are correct.

"Awesome..." Zhou Zhi praised his grandmother: "Then let's continue - meeting each other is like meeting for the first time, and we will have no resentment until we grow old; you will know the nature of a fish when you are close to the water -"

"Izuku shakes it clean."

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't read anymore and slumped down on the chair with laughter: "Grandma, you can't do this, you are a tyrant..."

"This is a sandy land for planting green onions." Grandma explained seriously: "If it were a yellow mud field for pulling out seedlings -"

"So what?"

"Dump it on someone else."

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi could no longer laugh anymore.

Grandma's humorous attitude is also common in everyday life. She never teaches her children and grandchildren harshly, but likes to use humor to make you remember it deeply.

The home is often filled with laughter.

For example, when Zhou Zhi was a child, she was responsible for setting the dining table. One time she forgot to place a spoon, and her grandmother asked Zhou Zhi to bring a basin of water and told her to wash her hands.

Xiao Zhouzhi looked confused. Didn't you just wash it before serving it?

Grandma said it was different this time, because she didn’t know that she was going to have soup today, and she just got rid of her carelessness.

The whole table burst into laughter. From now on, when Xiao Zhouzhi sets the table for dinner, he will definitely check it again carefully after setting it.

Years later, when Zhou Zhi recalled this, I felt that it must have been the great wisdom my grandmother developed while dealing with those difficult years.

The mother-in-law and grandson read it while laughing. Grandma just continued what she knew, and when she didn't know, she made jokes and rhymes.

There was a knock on the stairs, and a girl's voice sounded outside: "Elbow!"

Grandma, who had been leaning on the chair doing needlework, sat upright now and said, "The girl is alone!"

Zhou Zhi quietly rolled his eyes: "Can't you hear Xueshan's voice?"

"Xue Shan... dear grandson, go and open the door."

Zhou Zhi went over and opened the door, and a girl with picturesque features looked at him with a smile: "Elbow!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Zhi stopped her: "Let me see, tsk, tsk, tsk, which family's eldest daughter is this? Such a beautiful girl comes to my door, she is so radiant!"

"Glib." Feng Xueshan pressed Zhou Zhi's arm down and greeted her grandmother: "Grandma, I see you are here."

Grandma also waved at the end of the balcony: "My dear daughter is here? My dear grandson, why are you holding me back? Come in, come in!"

Feng Xueshan got in from Zhou Zhi's armpit: "Grandma!"

Grandma smiled and said: "Xueshan is getting more and more beautiful."

She is indeed getting more and more beautiful. This girl was originally fair-skinned, and as Zhou Zhi said in the past, she has "her own makeup effect." Later, I learned a word to describe this state - "pink and jade".

Now the little girl has a loose ponytail tied behind her head, wearing a pink fur-collared cotton coat, and a pair of small leather boots under her corduroy pants. She looks like a doll: "Grandma, do you miss me?"

"I heard that the good girl went to Manzhou to study?"

"Well, Plumbing and Electricity School."

"What are you doing at the Plumbing and Electricity School?"

"Substation, electric power company."

"That's the person in charge of electricity. I've heard it's great. The secretary on TV made sure of it."

Feng Xueshan squatted next to her grandmother: "Grandma, are you still doing this?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do. Use your free hand."

Feng Xueshan turned to look at Zhou Zhi again: "Jiuzi, do you miss me?"

This girl is always so direct, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little superior: "If I say I didn't think about it, will I get beaten?"

Feng Xueshan raised her eyebrows: "How about giving it a try?"

"Don't make trouble...if you live on campus for half a year, it will change a lot!"

Feng Xueshan was also one of Zhou Zhi's seven best friends in the city. She lived closest to Zhou Zhi's family. They used to go home from school all the way, and in the end the two of them walked together.

However, there was no vague feeling between the two of them, because Feng Xueshan liked to read Qiong Yao and had been infatuated with a handsome guy for a long time. She was her upstairs neighbor and a senior friend of her parents in the same school.

Feng Xueshan's generous and cheerful personality endeared her to Zhou Zhi. She also liked to come to Zhou Zhi's house to play. Then she pulled Zhou Zhi and forced him to run with her to the rooftop of the sugar and wine company's dormitory, and together they looked down the slope in the distance at the top-floor dormitory of the electric power company.

The handsome brother in.

One weekend when she came home from school, Feng Xueshan quietly told Zhou Zhi that her handsome brother had agreed to go to the sky building with her on the weekend.

So Zhou Zhi stayed on the roof of his house for two consecutive days, and even borrowed Fang Wenyu's telescope. As a result, he didn't see the two of them until Sunday afternoon the next day, just talking to each other three feet apart on the rooftop.
