This one sentence choked Yang Dahua so much that she dared not shout anymore.
After all, in addition to his terrifying temperament, Shi Zhentang would send back 30 yuan of military expenses from the army every month, and it was stipulated that five yuan would be given to the grandmother in the small house, but Yang Dahua secretly withheld all of it and never gave it to her.
Old lady Lu Huanying didn't want to make her grandson unhappy about this matter, so she didn't say anything. Shi Zhentang was kept in the dark, so Yang Dahua naturally didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.
She was afraid that the conversation would get out of hand and she would blurt out everything that should and shouldn't be said.
At this moment, Shi Zhentang raised his eyes with a look of astonishment: "..."
The girl sitting by the fire pit had an extraordinary appearance and lively eyes. Although she was wearing tattered clothes and her braids were messy, she exuded an extraordinary elegance.
He had not expected that the girl from the Tian family would be so pretty after washing her face, and he had not expected that their eyes would meet. For a moment, he had forgotten that the other person was a silly girl who did not have normal human emotions.
His handsome face suddenly became slightly hot!!!
Tian Yuzhu also thought to herself that this soldier was not only good-looking but also tall, handsome and powerful. He was also the first person who accepted her unconditionally since she came into this world.
Well, not bad, not bad. In order to gain a foothold in this strange era, this thigh is worth hugging.
"Yuzhu, this is Zhentang. He was the one who saved you from the wolf last night."
After locking the door and turning around, Lu Huanying didn't notice that her usually cold and obedient grandson actually blushed for a second. She naggingly brought him a stool, "Come and warm your hands. It's so cold, why are you still going out?"
As for Tian Yuzhu, the old lady felt that she might not understand what she said, but she was just nagging out of habit.
Shi Zhentang pulled himself back to his thoughts: "No more sitting for milk, I'm going to go for a walk in the mountains later. I have to leave early tomorrow morning and come back for the New Year."
This time I went home because I was passing by my home after completing a mission, and my leader granted me a day and a half off. The next long vacation will be during the Chinese New Year.
Besides, he couldn't sit down because there was so little space in front of the fire pit. Thinking of how the silly girl had squeezed in with others to warm herself by the fire last night, he decided not to join in the fun.
As he spoke, he took out two small bags of food from the pocket of his military coat, one pound of white flour and one pound of sweet potato flour. Without saying much, he placed them in the small wooden cabinet at the head of the kang.
There was only so much food in total, so he must have given it all to grandma first without letting Yang Dahua know.
"Then you can't go up the mountain hungry."
Hearing that he was leaving, Lu Huanying was extremely reluctant to let him go. Now, this precious grandson was the only one in the world who still cared about her.
When she heard that Shi Zhentang had returned last night, she quietly buried two potatoes she had saved in the firewood ashes, and they were almost cooked now.
As he spoke, he walked over and used a firewood stick to dig out the potatoes, not afraid of the heat. He took them in his hand and threw them on the ground twice. The black and sticky skin on the surface fell off, revealing the tender yellow potatoes inside.
"It's so hard to come back and you have to go hunting in the mountains. You are such a restless kid."
Muttering with heartache, Lu Huanying took a piece of clean blue cloth, wrapped the two potatoes and stuffed them into Shi Zhentang's military coat pocket.
Shi Zhentang wanted to leave one for them, but his hand was held down.
"Don't worry, it's warm in the house. I'll make other food later." Needless to say, Lu Huanying knew what he wanted to say.
Hunting? ! !
It turned out that he went up the mountain to hunt.
Tian Yuzhu, who seemed to be concentrating on warming herself by the fire, suddenly had eyes that lit up.
She likes this. As a special bodyguard, what could be more exciting than going to heaven and earth?
What's more, she had her own little plans in mind. Now, looking around in broad daylight, she had a clear understanding of the situation of the Shi family.
These days cannot be said to be poor, they can only be said to be a struggle to survive.
Just because of the steamed buns she ate last night, Yang Dahua had to fight with her. Well, she might as well go up the mountain and catch a wild rabbit and roast it to eat. Self-sufficiency is the way to survival.
"I'm going too."
Thinking of the delicious rabbit meat, Tian Yuzhu stood up.
The grandson and grandson were scared: "..."
It turns out that although this girl is silly, she can speak, and her voice is soft and pleasant.
Tian Yuzhu then realized that she was too excited and a little too normal, so she quickly smiled and made amends: "Haha."
Shi Zhentang: “…”
"Silly girl, hunting is not fun. It's cold and dangerous. Just stay home with grandma..."
Lu Huanying came back to her senses and was about to say something, but then she heard something like, "Huh?"
The silly girl took a step forward and hugged Zhentang's arm tightly: "No, I want to go, hehe."
Grandma and Sun Liang again: "..."
Look at this, it's really stupid! It doesn't even know how to be shy.
Shi Zhentang felt even more uncomfortable. He had never been in such close contact with a girl since he was a child.
Even though it was through the clothes, it was still uncomfortable. However, he was a soldier after all, and his naturally cold personality made him able to adjust his mood quickly: "Then I will take her out for a walk to familiarize herself with the place. She can't be locked up in the hut after I leave tomorrow morning. Grandma, your legs are not convenient, and you can't go out to look for her in such heavy snow."
That’s right, we can’t keep Tian Yuzhu locked up in the room forever, right?
As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs. When she needs to go to the toilet, the old lady's legs can't keep up.
Lu Huanying frowned. She was just worried: "But if you take her to the village like this, everyone will think..."
In fact, the old lady had other plans in mind.
It is true that the Tian family owes a debt of gratitude to the Shi family, but because Tian Yuzhu's conditions are different from those of ordinary people and Shi Zhentang is a soldier, there is no need to repay the debt through marriage.
It would be better to let Zhentang treat the silly girl as his sister. When he returns to the army, the silly girl will follow him. In the future, as long as the old lady has something to eat, the silly girl will never starve. This is also a solution.
"fine."
Shi Zhentang didn't care about these things. In fact, whether he took her out or not, the rumor that he had a silly fiancée would have spread in the village a long time ago, right?
Besides, a real man’s word is his bond, and he will not change his mind once he has taken responsibility.
Shi Zhentang always kept his word, and Lu Huanying was not sure what he was thinking about this matter.
But there was definitely no need to twist it now, so he turned around and took out a half-new jacket with small red flowers from the small cabinet: "Okay, but it's cold outside, give this to Yuzhu to wear, don't let the girl get cold."
The jacket was the one Shi Zhentang's mother had worn when she was young. Yang Dahua had tried many ways to get it over the years, but the old lady had never given it to her. Today, Sheshe reluctantly took it out and let the silly girl wear it.
Tian Yuzhu obediently put the jacket on over her tattered clothes and let the old lady button them up.
The red coat made her face look more tender and pretty, and her facial features were lively and beautiful, but her figure was much thinner.
In this way, Shi Zhentang took Tian Yuzhu out of the house.
