"I told you to stay home, but you insisted on going with your big brother. You look so hot and red-faced. Hurry and wash your face. The pig's offal is already cooked. Let's eat right away."
Liu Guixiang also walked out of the main room and saw Zhang Shengli with a red face.
"Grandma, wait a while before eating. I have something to tell you."
The little guy's red face is not due to heat, but excitement and anxiety.
"Okay, then tell grandma and see what's more important than eating meat."
Because of his second son, the little grandson is a little introverted and has low self-esteem. He always looks depressed and rarely appears cheerful.
"My eldest brother was really powerful today. He first scolded the ungrateful girl, and she was so angry that she ran back home from the village entrance.
When we came back, my eldest brother beat up Zhang Chenguang and Zhang Shengguang again, and beat the shit out of Zhang Chenguang.
You didn’t see what Zhang Xiangdong’s family looked like at that time. It was so satisfying.”
The little guy spoke and gestured to give a general idea of what happened. However, he was unable to describe it in detail with his eight-year-old language organization ability.
"Grandson, what did your brother say? Are you hurt?"
The little guy's words really scared Liu Guixiang. Zhang Chenguang and Zhang Shengguang were also her grandsons, but they were older than Zhang Shuguang.
It’s not that easy to fight one against two. The eldest grandson must have been beaten quite a lot.
"Grandma, I'm fine."
Zhang Shuguang took off the backpack and let his grandmother check him from front to back.
"Grandma, they're both cowards. They didn't even touch my eldest brother. My eldest brother is so strong. He kicked them down with one kick each."
The eldest brother can pick up sweet potatoes from the mountains, dig traps to catch wild boars, scold Bai Yanniang until she rolls her eyes, and beat the shit out of those two annoying guys Zhang Chenguang.
The little guy smiled more today than in the previous year, as if he had returned to the time when Zhang Xiangnan was around.
Although he is young, he feels that his elder brother will definitely grow up to be a big mountain for him and his sister to rely on.
With the big brother around, there is food to eat at home and the other kids won’t dare to bully him.
"Grandson, what exactly happened? Tell grandpa in detail."
Zhang Qingchun, who was in the main room, vaguely heard what his grandson said and hurried out of the room.
The eldest son was raised in vain, and the old man has completely given up on him. What he is worried about now is whether his eldest grandson will suffer.
"Grandpa, this is what happened..."
Zhang Shuguang organized his words and recounted everything that had happened today.
"Scold him, beat him, if I had known he would grow up to be like this when he was little, I would have thrown him into the potty and drowned him."
The old couple had a clear conscience towards their eldest son Zhang Xiangdong. They raised him with great difficulty, married him off, and helped him raise his children. In the end, all they got was a document severing ties.
The old couple raised two sons and two daughters, all of whom were educated in the same way.
Even now, the old couple doesn’t know what went wrong. They can only say that some people are born bad, and it has nothing to do with how they are taught.
"Xiao Guang, how could you hit someone? Will they report you to the brigade headquarters?"
Three years of cold words and indifference made Su Hong become cautious.
She was not like this before. When she was in her mother's family, she was the only girl in the family, with four older brothers who spoiled her.
After marrying into Zhangzhuang, her parents-in-law never made things difficult for them. Zhang Xiangnan joined the army again and was promoted to battalion commander. She would send her allowance back home every month.
Now that her husband is in trouble, she has become the only support for her child and she must force herself to mature.
"Mom, Uncle Xiangyang is here too, as are many other villagers. They're all speaking up for my brother and calling him an ungrateful person."
Zhang Shengli said excitedly that this was also what the little guy admired most about his elder brother.
In the past, when the villagers saw their family, they would ignore them, and some even rolled their eyes and spit at them.
For some unknown reason, the villagers today stood on their side and spoke to them for the first time ever.
In the past two days, the eldest brother brought home sweet potatoes and caught a big wild boar. Now even the villagers who have always disliked them are speaking to them, and it seems that everything is getting better.
"How is this possible?"
“Mom, nothing is impossible. Whether my father is a traitor or not, he is too far away from them and will not affect them.
Zhang Xiangdong's ungrateful family lives among them and is closely related to them.
Compared to us, the ungrateful and ungrateful wolves are obviously more hateful."
Zhang Xiangdong is his biological uncle. When Zhang Shuguang talked about him, he secretly glanced at his grandparents, fearing that the two elderly people would feel sad.
Who knew that the old couple's expressions didn't change at all, it seemed that they were heartbroken.
It’s better this way. When I come back, Zhang Xiangdong’s family of four will look at me with resentment. I don’t think they will let it go.
I will definitely have to continue taking care of them in the future. My grandparents are completely disappointed in them, so this is just to save them from being caught in the middle.
"Let's eat quickly, we have some important things to do tonight!"
Zhang Qingchun didn't want to talk much about that rebellious son and urged Liu Guixiang to start eating quickly.
Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous. Su Hong cut a plate of pig's head meat, a large basin of various pig offal, and a ceramic pot of big bone soup with a few green wild vegetables floating on it.
For the first time in their lives, the whole family, including Zhang Qingchun and his wife, had an all-you-can-eat meat meal.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Zhangzhuang returned to peace and the whole village was dark.
"Grandson, how about I go with you? If not, I'll wait outside the black market. I'm still worried about you going there alone."
After putting the wild boar meat into the backpack, Zhang Qingchun looked at his sixteen-year-old grandson, but he still felt a little worried.
"Grandpa, I'm young, my legs and feet are agile, my eyesight is good, and my mind is active. You can go with me, and I have to take care of you."
Zhang Shuguang said in embarrassment.
"Okay, then grandpa won't go. My grandson is grown up now and can support the family in the future."
When Zhang Qingchun looked at his grandson, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes mixed with relief.
This is how old people are. On the one hand, they hope their children grow up quickly, but on the other hand, they are worried and afraid that they will become useless and become a burden to their children.
"Big brother, will Panpan be able to have his own shoes soon?"
The three-year-old girl is also a smart little girl. During lunch, Zhang Shuguang said that he wanted to exchange some cotton and cloth to make clothes and shoes for his sister. The little girl remembered it in her heart.
"Yes, just stay home and sleep well with your mother, and I will definitely get the cloth back for you."
Zhang Shuguang touched his sister's skinny and yellow face, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would make his sister plump and white in the future.
