Chapter 324 A long story
After each elderly person who wanted to be hugged had been hugged for a while, Dabao and the others wanted to go out and play, so Tang Yueyue untied the ropes on their hands, but they were only allowed to play near the tree and not go far away.
"Big baby, second baby, third baby, and little baby, play only by this tree. If you run around, don't even think about going out to play next time. Do you hear me?"
"Got it, Mom."
Although the voice was reluctant, it was still obedient.
Seeing them playing around, Tang Yue subtly asked these old ladies if anyone went to the commune.
They have been sitting here for so long, if there was anything, they would definitely see it.
"Grandma, it's not the busy farming season now, so there should be a lot of people going to the commune, right?"
The old lady next to him smiled, with only a few teeth left in her mouth. She was indeed old. "Where are there many people going? It costs money to go to the commune. There's nothing to do there. Why go there? It's that second-rate guy in the village. The third son of the Li family went there. I knew he was not a decent person. No one would bother him. He was running here and there. It's pitiful for his wife to live a hard life with such a second-rate guy."
The old lady was quite happy to see a young girl chatting with her. Usually those girls would stay away from old men and women like them. It was rare that Tang Yue was willing to chat with them and she had a strong desire to communicate.
As soon as Tang Yue heard it, she knew it was the gay man she met that afternoon. It seemed that he was still a man of his word. He said he would go today and today. Although it was a bit unreasonable, he was still a man of his word. After the work was done, she would not ask him for the agreed reward.
"Grandma, every time you sit under this big tree, there are almost always people sitting here. Why is that?"
This was something that had always puzzled Tang Yue. No matter when, there would always be someone sitting under the big tree when passing by here.
Unexpectedly, the old lady who had been smiling all the time suddenly had tears in her eyes. After a while, she said softly, "We old guys are used to it. We have all experienced the war years. We used to guard here to keep watch for the villagers. When we saw the Japanese devils coming from afar, we hurried to the village to report the news. Even though there are no Japanese devils now, we have kept this habit. We are also worried that the little children in the village will get lost. Anyway, we old guys don't have any work to do, so we help the village to guard this place well so that those little kids can run around freely."
Tang Yue really didn't expect this to be the reason. Suddenly, she felt very respectful towards them. That originality has not changed. It has been more than 20 years since the era of the Japanese devils. It is not one or two years, nor one or two months. It has lasted for more than 20 years. It is so rare.
"Grandma, you guys are amazing. You've worked really hard in your life. Things will get better and better in the future."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes lit up. "We have always believed that times will get better and better. It is absolutely right to follow the Party."
At the end, their voices were very loud, not as weak as at the beginning. Their faith was always in their hearts.
"Yes, that's right. Everything will get better and better."
At this moment, Tang Yue suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. It was really too difficult in the past.
I didn’t want to talk about such a heavy topic, so I just talked to the old lady about other things and said something light-hearted.
After chatting for more than half an hour, thinking that it was getting late, since it had been confirmed, the second-rate guy went to the commune and prepared to go back.
"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Jiaobao, it's time for us to go back. We can come out and play together next time, okay?"
"Okay, Mom."
Dabao and his three younger siblings quickly ran to their mother's side, their hands were all covered with mud from the ground. They had been playing in the mud.
Tang Yue looked at their dirty hands and thought that she didn't need to tie their hands with a belt anymore. "Hurry and go home! Your hands are so dirty, I won't tie you with a rope anymore. Follow me back."
Dabao and the others looked at their hands with silly smiles on their faces, just like the stupid sons of the landlord.
The group of five people hurried home. As soon as they got home, they were quickly pulled to take a bath. They really turned into a calico cat.
After giving them a good cleaning, they were washed clean and turned back into the clean little babies.
"Yueyue, what's going on?"
Zhao's mother wanted to ask when her daughter-in-law just came back, but she swallowed the words she wanted to say when she saw her daughter-in-law was in a hurry to give her grandchildren a bath. This time, she saw that her daughter-in-law had finished her work, so she asked.
"Mom, don't worry. The gay man has already done it. I think this matter will be over by tomorrow."
Knowing that my mother-in-law was anxious, I didn't keep her in suspense and told her directly.
"That's good. That's good."
Seeing that the mother-in-law finally let go and had a smile on her face, it seemed that she had been feeling very aggrieved for the past two days.
"Mom, you look after Dabao and the others. I'll go inside to check on Wubao and the others."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be watching you here."
When Tang Yue walked into the room, she saw Aunt Li sitting by the kang, sewing shoe soles and watching Wu Bao and the others.
"Aunt Li, did they bother you?"
Aunt Li smiled slightly, and Tang Yue actually saw a loving smile on her face. It seemed that she really treated the baby as her own. This was good, like a family.
"Wubao and the others are very well behaved and don't make any noise. They are awake now and playing with themselves. How adorable they are."
When talking about the kids, Aunt Li's face was always full of smiles. She had never taken care of such well-behaved kids.
"That's great. Why don't you see Aunt Wu?"
Tang Yue seemed to have not seen Aunt Wu since she entered the yard, including when she was bathing the kids. It had been quite a while now, so she asked out of curiosity.
"Sister Wu went to the mountains. She wanted to cut some useful branches and wild fruit branches to prepare for smoking the meat. Although the bacon will be smoked in two days, these things need to be prepared in advance."
"I should have gone with Aunt Wu earlier. I'm so strong that I can chop down a lot of them in just a few strokes."
Tang Yue thought that Aunt Wu was so old, it was a bit unsafe for her to go to the mountain alone, so she decided to go find her and go with her!
"Aunt Li, I won't let Aunt Wu go to the mountains alone. You continue to help me look after these kids. I'll go to the mountains to find Aunt Wu."
"Go! These kids are very well behaved, don't worry."
Tang Yue left the house, said something to her grandmother in the yard, took a hatchet and a backpack and set off.
