Chapter 234: Slap to Death
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Of course it's the socialist path."
Zhong Cunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "That's the only way."
Zhong Jialing didn't understand. "We want them to join the army? No, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother, one is a fool and the other is pregnant, it's not appropriate."
Luo Jiudao: "To follow the socialist path, one does not have to join the army, they can become red capitalists.
Now is the most difficult time for our army. As long as they clearly stand up to fund our army and provide support, it will be like timely assistance, and the organization will naturally credit them with credit.
When the time comes for reckoning in the future, they will be regarded as heroes, and at least they can ensure that the Zhong family will land smoothly.
This way, your great grandfather wouldn't have to go up the mountain to be a bandit, and your grandfather wouldn't have to sneak across the border."
Zhong Cunzhi said hurriedly: "This is the best. Let's stay here for a few more days. I will get in touch with the Zhong family and try to persuade them."
After everyone had almost finished their discussion, Luo Jiu suggested going to the nearby Dafulou for dinner.
Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "We have to go. We have to eat less and less. We have to eat quickly."
Grandma was shocked when she heard this. "Are we out of money, or is the food poisonous? Why is it that we eat less and less? Will we die after eating it?"
Everyone laughed, and Luo Jiu said hurriedly: "It's not poisonous, it's just that the food in this restaurant is rare. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it in the future. Let's go quickly while we are close."
When the group arrived at Dafulou, the boss came over to greet them immediately and bowed without saying anything. "Ladies, please take a seat."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
We are all smart people, so there is no need to make things so clear.
Zhong Jialing flipped through the menu and ordered a lot. Just as she was about to pay, the boss hurriedly said, "This meal is on me. From now on, you are my guests of honor. You don't have to pay."
Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "That won't do. We will help you get rid of the freeloaders. We can't become the freeloaders."
"That's right, we can't eat for free, just give us a discount." Zhong Jialing stuffed a hundred dollars into the boss's hand and said, "We have to eat here these few days, prepay this first, and come back to me if it's not enough."
The boss refused several times but couldn't, so he said: "Don't worry, I will give you the best. If you need me in the future, just let me know and I will never refuse."
After the boss left, Zhong Cunzhi and Jiang An were still wondering, "Is the food here so expensive? Even if we eat here for a few days, it won't cost more than a hundred dollars."
After a while, the dishes came up and the two nodded silently, "It should be expensive indeed."
The boss presented eight dishes, all of which were top-notch, such as braised wild venison and mandarin ducks playing with flying dragons, each one more precious than the last.
Fu Bao gnawed on the flying dragon's bones and said, "This flying dragon meat is so tender. Why don't we have it stored in our space?"
Luo Jiu laughed, "Because this flying dragon is also known as the hazel grouse, it is a national second-class protected animal and an endangered species in the world.
If we hoard this, we will have to go to jail before the end of the world."
Everyone laughed and had a great time.
The next day at noon, Sui Chunfang came to the banquet.
As soon as they met, Zhong Cunzhi couldn't help but stand up.
He was already middle-aged, and his childhood memories had long since become blurred.
But these past two days he kept dreaming about his childhood, and unknowingly recalled every little detail between him and his great grandmother.
As I recall, his great-grandmother, Ms. Sui Chunfang, was already an old lady with white hair, old but kind.
He remembered that he learned to write at the age of three. He was playful and ignorant, and was scolded a lot by his parents when he scribbled crookedly on the notebook.
But his grandmother would always protect him, "He's just a little kid, how capable do you expect him to be? It's good enough that he can hold a pen.
Cunzhi is really sensible. He only scribbles on the notebook and never scribbles anywhere else. Come here quickly and let grandma see you. You will definitely be a great painter when you grow up."
His grandmother's tolerance towards younger generations influenced his views on education to a certain extent.
He remembered how helpless he was when he was a child. His parents were traditional parents and he would be scolded even if he made small mistakes, such as breaking a cup or spilling milk.
By that time, my great-grandma had passed away, but he would often think: If my great-grandma were still alive, she would definitely protect me. My great-grandma was the best to me.
He remembered that two days before her great-grandma passed away, she secretly bought him a bag of rock sugar on the street, wrapped it in a small blue and white checkered handkerchief, and opened it layer by layer, waiting for him to wake up from his nap, and said with expectation: "Cunzhi, look what your great-grandma brought you?"
Thinking of this, tears welled up in Zhong Cunzhi's eyes.
The young girl in front of me is completely different from the old man in my memory.
But he knew it was her when he looked at her eyes. So simple and tenacious, like the weeds growing out of cracks in the rocks, his great-grandmother was just like that.
Jiang An patted his back gently and whispered, "Don't get excited."
Zhong Cunzhi nodded, suppressed his excitement, and said softly to Sui Chunfang: "It's cold outside, you... you have come all the way here, are you okay?"
Sui Chunfang looked at this kind-looking elder. Although it was their first meeting, she seemed to have an indescribable sense of familiarity. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not far. Thank you for your concern."
Luo Jiu arranged for everyone to sit down, and grandma also exchanged a few words with Sui Chunfang. Zhong Cunzhi secretly calmed down his complicated feelings and silently wiped the tears from his eyes.
Although he wanted to tell his grandmother everything, he had to proceed step by step and pretend to be an approachable elder.
Fate is such a joke. When my grandmother was alive, he was clearly the child in her arms, but now he has to pretend to be her elder in front of her.
During the meal, we naturally talked about what happened yesterday.
Luo Jiu: "Is Sister Xiuyun okay?"
Sui Chunfang smiled and said, "Okay, are you really a doctor? She said she felt great after taking your medicine. She slept very well last night and woke up feeling refreshed this morning. The baby is also very strong and is kicking her in the stomach."
Luo Jiu smiled, "I will watch, but not much. By the way, did yesterday's incident cause you any trouble?"
Sui Chunfang said: "When my parents-in-law came back, my second uncle and second aunt wanted to make the first move to complain, but when my parents-in-law heard that my aunt almost died and they only beat up two children and dared to talk nonsense, they criticized them instead.
Later, my second uncle said that no matter what, they should not allow outsiders to beat their children.
So my parents-in-law asked me, who are the outsiders?
I half-truthfully said, "You are soldiers. I saw you holding guns, but I don't know what kind of soldiers you are." They were so scared that they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Luo Jiu nodded repeatedly, "That's the best, but I think your second uncle and second aunt are not people who are content with what they have, so this alone is not enough.
We should be more thorough and make them treat you and your wife and Sister Xiuyun with respect and obedience in the future."
Sui Chunfang said hurriedly: "My second uncle was a scoundrel when he was young, and no one could control him. Even my father-in-law, who was in charge of the family, he often contradicted him. How can you make him obedient?"
Cheng Yaoyao quietly pulled Luo Jiu and said worriedly, "Their big house is full of house fights. We are not on the same path as him. Can we deal with him?"
Luo Jiu smiled slightly, "What's the point of house fighting and palace fighting? Isn't it just a group of people without absolute strength who are scheming and scheming? We have strength, what are we afraid of?"
She asked Fubao, "If someone falsely accuses you and spreads rumors about right and wrong in front of you, what will you do?"
Fu Bao replied calmly: "I will slap him to death."
Sui Chunfang was stunned, "Are you going to beat my second uncle to death?"
