It was dark when they arrived in the village. Uncle Seven drove the car to Uncle Five's house. The three of them unloaded the things they bought and the large pile of things they exchanged yesterday, and gave the old man 50 cents. Uncle Seven refused to take it, but Dad Guan stuffed the money into his pocket without saying a word. The old man had no choice but to accept it.
Shui Shui took 10 eggs and a chicken and put them in the car when Uncle Qi wasn't paying attention. He probably wouldn't see them until he got home.
The old man was deaf all his life, and he was all alone and very pitiful.
After sending Seventh Uncle away in his ox cart, Shui Shui went to knock on the door.
After opening the door, Grandpa Wu was stunned for a moment when he saw the things all over the floor. Then he bent down and took them into the house without saying a word. Look, this is a complete sense of trust.
Xingxing also came to help, and after several people moved for a long time, they finally brought everything into the house.
Professor Dong went to the kitchen to cook some porridge and hot buns.
When they came back, they discussed it and decided to let Fifth Grandpa know about the difference. They would say that it was a chance encounter that Guan Dad had in the mountains last time, and they would not reveal it. They had to keep it secret, otherwise the trio would change more and more, and their trust would also change.
The village heard that the township didn't bring electricity until after the Lunar New Year, so every household still used kerosene lamps. To conserve oil, people usually went to bed as soon as it got dark. Everyone ate and went to bed, thinking it was too late to talk about anything tomorrow.
The next morning, while Xingxing was still asleep, the three of them went to Fifth Grandpa's room to talk. Guan's father told Fifth Grandpa that after he fainted from hunger in the mountains, an old immortal had given him food, vegetables, meat, and eggs. He could give them anything he wanted.
Fifth Grandpa was an old Eighth Route Army soldier and a materialist. Guan's father's words forced him to believe that there were indeed many things in the world that could not be explained.
The old man asked, "Does it give you a headache from taking things out? Do you feel anything in your body?"
“No feeling.”
"Will constantly taking things out shorten your lifespan?"
"It has nothing to do with my lifespan. This old immortal took pity on me and fulfilled my destiny, so that I can do more good deeds in the future. Uncle, having food now can save many lives!"
"Who else knows about this?"
“I haven’t told anyone else except you.”
"Okay, don't tell anyone about this from now on. And be careful when you take things out. We're destroying the Four Olds and all feudal ideas right now. Have you ever thought about what would happen if others knew about this? Be low-key in your life and work from now on."
"Yes, Uncle Wu."
"I have allowances and food supplies, and many old comrades always send me money and things. Everyone in the village knows this. If anyone asks, I say it's all given to you by me. No one really investigates."
"Well, Fifth Uncle, you have been kind to me since I was a child. We will take care of you in your old age."
The old man smiled so hard that his teeth showed, "Okay, okay, okay, Fifth Uncle must live well and follow you from now on."
After saying that, Professor Dong went to the kitchen to cook. He confessed that he had food to eat and could now cook something delicious.
Braised pork, steamed fish, garlic shrimp, steamed egg custard, tomato and egg soup, and rice.
The quality of this meal early in the morning is really unmatched. Fortunately, Fifth Grandpa lives far away from the village, otherwise the smell would attract the whole village.
Xingxing turned into a little soldier who worked hard to eat. He was so busy that his forehead was covered with sweat even in the middle of winter.
Fifth Grandpa was also very full. After finishing his meal, he said to Guan's father: "Second brother, many elderly people living alone in our village have no food. You can take out some food and deliver it to each household. Just say that this is the food my comrade-in-arms sent me. He helped me get it back from the commune yesterday. I am giving it to them." What a kind old man! After having a full meal, he immediately thought about the poor households in the village.
"Okay, Uncle Five."
Dad Guan got up and went to the woodshed to get two cloth bags, then went to the west room, slept in the room, put his hand into the bag, and with a thought, one bag was full of grain, filling up two large bags.
Then I carried it to the yard, packed it with Fifth Grandpa, and put it on the cart.
