576: Grandma Yu Protects the Calf (Plus 37)
Liu Fen is flying for the second time.
Grandma Yu said that it was her first time to fly, and Liu Fen could believe this. The old lady didn't feel uncomfortable flying at all. Anyway, when Xia Xiaolan saw the two of them, Grandma Yu felt better:
"Come with my mother, this time I will have a good time in the capital for a few days!"
And grandma Yu, it must be more than landlords and tenants.
Xia Xiaolan went to the capital to go to school, and Liu Fen still got along with Grandma Yu day and night. This old lady is hard-hearted and soft-hearted. She is the most protective of Liu Fen, for fear that Liu Fen will suffer.
Grandma Yu did not bear her reputation for being stubborn at all. Xia Xiaolan asked her to have fun for a few days, and Grandma Yu snorted:
"I have to go back to sweep the streets, what to do!"
Xia Xiaolan was also convinced.
It's time to pay the rent again, and since the small building in Erqi Square is there, Grandma Yu can't be hungry. The annual rent is higher than the salary of street sweeping. Grandma Yu has already passed the retirement age. In addition, the old lady has diabetes. Xia Xiaolan feels that the job of street sweeping is not worth it.
Holding more than 2,000 yuan a year, in the 1980s, I was definitely able to live quite comfortably.
If Grandma Yu wants a really long life, she is not afraid of running out of money. Xia Xiaolan is going to buy the current building of "Blue Phoenix" in the future.
There is only one point. If her mother comes to the capital to open a branch, what will Grandma Yu do?
It is inconvenient to leave a diabetic old lady in Shangdu to live alone. What Xia Xiaolan thought was, either let Li Fengmei bring Taotao into Grandma Yu's house, continue to be the 'tenant' of Grandma's house, and take care of Grandma Yu easily; or let Grandma Yu and her mother come to the capital together, the identities of both sides Upside down, the yard that Xia Xiaolan bought in Shichahai, symbolically charged her grandmother's rent, and let her live with her mother as usual.
Of course, grandma Yu had to be consulted for both arrangements. As grandma came to the capital this time, Xia Xiaolan took the opportunity to ask.
Xia Xiaolan didn't have a car, so she picked them up at the airport and left by bus.
He directly took the two to Shichahai's yard, which was the first time Liu Fen saw this house.
Xia Xiaolan said that this was the house of her mother and grandmother. Grandma Yu took a look at the lot and the style of the house. She turned her head and sighed to Liu Fen:
"You are lucky, this is the mansion of the former official family."
Liu Fen, who has been a poor peasant for several generations, can still live in a courtyard house on Shichahai Beach. Grandma Yu can't think of anything else except that she gave birth to a daughter named "Xia Xiaolan". Liu Fen's life is first bitter and then sweet. The first half of her life was not smooth, and her daughter's success will make Liu Fen better and smoother in the future.
Grandma Yu herself is sweet and then bitter.
In the first half of my life, I enjoyed all the blessings, but when I was middle-aged, I fell down. Fate played a big joke on Grandma Yu, and it became more and more bitter.
Fortunately, she didn't give up. She changed from being an eldest lady to a street sweeper, sweeping and sweeping, and a stupid person like Liu Fen sent her to her door as a tenant. Grandma Yu felt that the bitter days like Huang Lian's life were all over again. other taste.
Liu Fen is stupid, she is funny, she has a solid heart, while Grandma Yu scolds her for being stupid, she still has to worry about it. Who is the stupidest in the end? It's herself!
How could Xia Xiaolan know what Grandma Yu was thinking? Anyway, she led Grandma Yu around, and Liu Fen touched the windowsill and the floor tiles.
"Xiaolan, are we staying here tonight?"
"Forget it, there is no heating, it's cold to sleep here at night..."
The old courtyard was not heated, so Xia Xiaolan wanted to renovate it together.
The guys who cook in the courtyard are complete, and they are all slowly purchased by Xia Xiaolan when the ants move.
There are beds and quilts, but it is too cold to sleep at night, and there is a safety hazard in burning charcoal pots. Xia Xiaolan prefers Liu Fen and Grandma Yu to live in the hostel. It's fine to stay in a hotel if it's more upscale, and Xia Xiaolan can afford the money.
Grandma Yu walked around the house and knocked on the ground, despising Xia Xiaolan for not knowing:
"It's said that this is the mansion of the former officials. In the winter, you let the officials carry the cold so hard? The yard has floor heating. I bought some coal and burned it, and the whole house was warm."
This technique was first applied in the palace, and later learned by dignitaries.
A flue is built under the floor tiles, smoke is passed through the flue in winter, and smoke windows are reasonably configured to heat the entire floor tile, and the indoor temperature will naturally have a warm effect.
The countryside is a wall of fire and a heated kang. It is really necessary to use your brains. There must be a way to keep warm in winter.
Xia Xiaolan was despised by Grandma Yu. She was also checking the information on the courtyard, but she didn't notice that the yard she bought had a flue. It seemed that the information was not detailed enough. Grandma Yu's knowledgeable and knowledgeable experience is the life experience of the old lady. Xia Xiaolan can't be envied. She and Grandma Yu grew up in a different environment.
Grandma Yu has seen wealth and grandeur, not only Xia Xiaolan, but it is estimated that many people have never seen it.
Of course, Grandma Yu couldn't have imagined many things that Xia Xiaolan had seen. This was due to the difference in the eyes of the times.
Grandma Yu said that it takes time to burn the floor heating. I will buy some coal and try it out today. If the floor heating in the house is in disrepair and leaks, it will definitely cause an accident when everyone sleeps in such a room at night.
Liu Fen was at home herself, and she wanted to clean up the house well.
"I don't object if you want to clean the windows. There is honeycomb at home. Don't worry about the few cents, just burn hot water to clean it!"
Those hands full of cracks have been raised for a whole year and a half, and they are finally pleasing to the eye, but don't soak them in cold water and get frostbite.
As soon as Xia Xiaolan and Grandma Yu went out, less than 200 meters away from home, Grandma Yu couldn't help it:
"In the winter, why did you call your mother to the capital? But don't talk about it. In this weather, the further north you go, the more uncomfortable it is. No one wants to come to the capital to suffer in winter!"
Grandma Yu is really a person, and she can't hide anything from her.
Xia Xiaolan told about Ji Ya.
I briefly explained the grievances and grievances, and let the grandma taste it in my heart:
"The luck of your mother and daughter... I don't know if it's good or bad."
A leader would not care if Liu Fen was insulted or not. People would only be happy, angry and sad because of the people who were close to them. Grandma Yu dared to pat her chest to make sure that she would pay. Can sweep all the streets and alleys of Beijing! Pure voluntary labor, no wages!
"What did you say his name was Tang?"
"Tang Hongen."
"Oh, a little impression."
This man was a cadre in Shangdu, and he was also sent to the cowshed at that time.
The reputation is quite good, and Grandma Yu didn't break the word. Mayor Tang is a second married man, and so is Liu Fen. Mayor Tang has a son and Liu Fen has a daughter. It is said that neither of these two people dislikes the other, and they can make it through... But the reality is not so simple, sometimes the great blessing falls on the head, and it depends on whether the party can catch it.
Xia Xiaolan was fine, she was thick-skinned and dark-hearted, so Grandma Yu was not worried at all.
Liu Fen is different. Just because of her personality, it is unlikely that a third marriage is possible, and a second marriage should be more cautious.
Alas, let's walk and see first, it's really right to follow this time, and I can see the Mayor Tang again - Grandma Yu started to worry again, she can call Liu Fen stupid, others bully, Grandma Yu is Can't agree! #####See you tomorrow See you tomorrow~
