Chapter 122: The Old Lady Who Knows Everything
Shi Luo looked at Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, and sighed inwardly that it would be perfect if he and Jiang Hao could still understand and tolerate each other, support each other, and put each other and themselves first when they were old, just like the old couple of the Jiang family.
After the four of them had enough food and drink, they walked slowly home together. When they arrived at Shi Luo's house, the old couple from the Jiang family recognized the place, refused the two's request to take them home, and took the old lady away.
Shi Luo looked at the backs of the two elderly people and sighed, "Grandpa and Grandma are such nice people."
Jiang Hao: "............, you're the only one who thinks so. Everyone else who knows my grandfather thinks he's a difficult old man."
Shi Luo: "That may be because they love the house and the people in it. They are so nice and polite to me because of you."
Jiang Hao's mouth twitched, and he said soothingly, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. We've been standing at the door for a long time. Why don't we go in first and talk about it later?"
Shi Luo nodded obediently and followed Jiang Hao into the gate.
The days of eating, drinking, playing and shopping passed quickly. The two of them had been in Beijing for nearly two months. They had basically tried all the special snacks available in Beijing and visited all the scenic spots available.
The two of them would go to the courtyard to visit Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang from time to time, and the four of them would often go out to eat in the evening. Of course, Jiang Hao would pay the bill six out of ten times. Although Jiang Hao wanted to pay the bill every time, the two old people would always stop him. It was because they knew that their grandparents were not short of money, so Jiang Hao did not force them.
Since Grandma Jiang didn't have a job, she went shopping with Jiang Hao and Shi Luo several times during the day. Every time Grandma Jiang followed them, she would ask about their plans in advance. If they were going to a place far away from the courtyard, she would definitely not follow them even if Jiang Hao urged her repeatedly.
Grandma Jiang is an old lady who is very savvy. It's okay for her to play nearby, but forget about going far away. She is not young anymore. Although her legs and feet are very nimble, she can't compare with young people.
Besides, I have been in Beijing for so many years, and there is really no place I haven't been to, so there is no need to hold my grandson back. Even if there is a place I really want to visit, wouldn't it be better to go with my old man instead of with my grandson?
Today, Shi Luo and Jiang Hao went out to play by themselves.
Shi Luola wandered aimlessly until he arrived at the First Steel Plant.
Uncle Qian is still the security guard at the First Steel Plant.
Uncle Qian was sitting in the guard room drinking water. He looked up and saw Shi Luo, and quickly called for help.
"Hey, hey, isn't this Xiao Luo? Didn't he go to the countryside? Why are you back?"
When Shi Luo heard Uncle Qian's voice, thinking that they were all acquaintances, he walked forward and said, "Uncle Qian, I have a family leave this year. Although my grandfather is gone, our house is still there. I'm going to pick a time to come back and take a look and clean it up."
Uncle Qian looked at Shi Luo, who had grown a lot taller, and was filled with emotion. "It was so good when your grandfather was around. You two had someone to look after you. Take me for example. I had someone to chat with when I was working together. Sigh, you are all alone now. How are you doing in the countryside? Are you not being bullied?"
In recent years, Uncle Qian has come into contact with many educated youth who went to the countryside to visit their families. What he heard most was that the conditions in the countryside were poor, that poor mountains and bad waters produced unruly people, and that educated youth were easily bullied. When he saw a child he was familiar with, he couldn't help but feel concerned.
Shi Luo nodded. "It's pretty good. The people and customs in the brigade where I went to work are pretty good. As long as I can work, I won't go hungry."
Old Master Qian nodded and looked at the man next to Shi Luo. "Who is this? He looks pretty good. I haven't seen him near our factory before."
Jiang Hao smiled and introduced himself, "I'm a friend of Shi Luo's from the rural brigade. I came to Beijing to visit my relatives. Since Shi Luo and I are going the same way, I decided to come together."
"That's good. It's safer to go out together." Uncle Qian looked around and saw that there were no people around. He lowered his voice and said to Shi Luo, "Xiao Luo, you've been in the countryside for almost three years now. Do you want to go back to the city?"
Shi Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't say directly whether he wanted to go back to the city or not. "As an educated youth who went to the countryside, there is no other possibility for me to return to the city except to retire due to illness or find a job. Forget about retirement due to illness. As long as I can breathe and have no missing limbs, the hospital will not issue a note for me.
As for finding a job, to be honest, I've had enough of the past two years in the countryside. I dream of finding a job back in the city, but the first requirement for recruiting in major factories and companies in Beijing is a Beijing hukou. Unless I have family members who can take over, it won't work. But I don't have anyone at home, so this path is off the table for me."
Uncle Qian raised his eyebrows, looking very proud. "If I didn't have a way, I wouldn't ask you. Let me tell you, if your grandfather and I hadn't had a good relationship when he was alive, I wouldn't be able to tell you this good news."
Shi Luo knew that Uncle Qian had a good relationship with his grandfather. After all, the two old men went to work together every day, and they became friends over time.
Besides, Uncle Qian and my old man are not short of money, nor are they stingy. Whenever they have nothing to do, you bring some food and I bring some drinks, and we gather in the guard room to have a drink and eat some meat. Needless to say, their relationship is very close.
Moreover, the two men have the same illegal income, which is to help people call someone or look after something, and they can receive some miscellaneous things. These two old men have the same secret, so their relationship is even better.
So if Uncle Qian could still think of him because of something good happening to his grandfather, Shi Luo would still believe it a little.
