Chapter 351 Era - There's a Time Traveler Next Door 2
When I sat down at the table, I saw a pot of fragrant sauerkraut stewed with big bones, a plate of refreshing pickled radish, and a basket of hot flatbreads.
This is a pretty good meal for a farmer.
Grandpa Li Tiezhu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of food first, and then the family members started to pick up their chopsticks.
Grandpa's eyes were full of smiles when he saw Li Dandan happily chewing the bone.
"Dandan, how's Grandpa's stewed bones? I've saved some. When you finish your exams and have the holiday, I'll make you some roasted bones. They're even more flavorful and delicious than these!"
Li Dandan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Okay, let's boil the bones until they're soft before roasting them, so that grandma won't have trouble eating them because of her bad teeth."
Hearing Li Dandan's thoughtful words, Zhao Jinhua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
This granddaughter is so lovable that she never forgets her, the old lady, when she gets any good things.
Everyone says that she spoils her children. Who wouldn't want such a well-behaved and sensible child!
Li Huaiyuan and Yu Xiuzhi had long been accustomed to the old couple's pampering of their child. Although the young couple always said that the old couple spoiled the child, they also couldn't bear to see the child suffer any injustice.
It's just that they are a little stricter with their children than the old couple.
My son Li Xu just went to join the army this year. Otherwise, if I made big bones for Li Dandan, I would also have to prepare his favorite dishes for Li Xu.
If there is none, then there is none. If you do it for one child, you must also prepare for the other child.
After the family finished breakfast, Li Dandan put on her schoolbag, put on her hat, scarf and gloves, sat on the back seat of her father Li Guoqiang's bicycle, and prepared to set off for Xinping County.
Panshui Village is very close to Xinping County and can be reached in about 40 minutes by bike.
Li Huaiyuan and Yu Xiuzhi both work in Xinping County. Usually, they would take Li Dandan to school on their way to work.
Li Huaiyuan worked in a grain store, and Yu Xiuzhi was an invoice clerk at a meat processing plant. In that era, these were the best jobs.
Both of these jobs were arranged by the organization.
Grandpa Li Tiezhu was once a soldier in the revolutionary army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not continue to stay in the army, but chose to return to his hometown to farm. He was a battalion commander when he retired.
Originally, the organization wanted to arrange a job for Li Tiezhu in the county, but Li Tiezhu firmly refused to agree.
My grandfather said, “I joined the revolution because the Japanese killed my parents and didn’t allow us ordinary people to farm properly.
Now that my parents have been avenged and the Japanese have been driven away, I have to go back to take care of them. Besides, I still like to work in the fields.
I'm really not cut out for being an official. I really can't do this."
Grandpa refused the organization's arrangement, so the organization replaced him with two worker positions, which is the job that Li's father and mother are doing now.
Li Tiezhu was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
In my grandfather's words, when he was in the army, he couldn't read a single word and never went to school for a single day.
All the characters I learned were learned in the team.
It is impossible to be an official without education, otherwise he will lead the people into trouble.
It's good like this now. The children's jobs have been arranged. They are not important positions, so nothing will go wrong.
The pampering of Li Xu and Li Dandan is also based on the premise that the children do not go astray and study hard.
Grandpa is not educated, and you kids now have such good conditions, you should study hard.
When they arrived at the school gate, Li Huaiyuan stopped his bicycle and Li Dandan jumped off the back seat.
"Dad, I'm going to school."
Li Huaiyuan rode his bicycle all the way, and a layer of white frost covered the brim of his hat and scarf.
"Go ahead, meet me at the grain store for lunch. The exam is coming up soon, so pay attention in class."
If you do well in the exam, I will give you a reward."
Li Dandan smiled gently, "I understand, Dad. I'm going in now. Please drive slowly."
After watching Li Huaiyuan ride away on his bicycle, Li Dandan turned around and walked towards the school.
Li Huaiyuan always says this when his children are about to take their final exams, and he gives his children gifts after every final exam.
If you do well in the exam, it is a reward; if you do not do well in the exam, it is encouragement.
But don’t think that such a Li Huaiyuan would spoil his children without principles. That is absolutely impossible.
Normally, everything can be discussed, but if they make a mistake of principle, the whole family will definitely work together to teach them a lesson.
Li Dandan walked into the classroom. Many classmates had already arrived.
However, at that time, most of the students who could go to school were still boys, and there were only four female students in the class, including Li Dandan.
Up to now, the girl sitting in the front row has not come yet. I don’t know whether she has asked for leave or will not come to school in the future.
It often happens that students suddenly don't come to school like this.
There are only twenty-two students in the class now.
Li Dandan and her classmates will get their junior high school diplomas in another six months. I originally thought that the remaining students would insist on finishing junior high school, but I didn’t expect that some of them would drop out early.
Li Dandan's classmate sitting in front of her is called Lin Hong, whose father is the director of the post office.
Seeing Li Dandan coming, Lin Hong turned around and whispered, "Dandan, let me tell you, I just saw Wang Xiaomai's grandmother go to the teacher's office. Do you think she came to expel Wang Xiaomai from school?
I saw it when I was in junior high school. Wang Xiaomai’s grandmother was throwing a tantrum at the school gate and wouldn’t let Wang Xiaomai go to school.
In the end, it was Wang Xiaomai's father who caught up with her and dragged her grandmother back home.
This time the old lady comes again, I guess it’s no good.
And Wang Xiaomai hasn't come yet today. Do you think it's possible that this old lady is causing trouble again?
Graduation is in half a year. It would be a pity for Wang Xiaomai if this old lady disrupted her life.
She can find a job in the city after graduating from junior high school. Why is this grandmother so jealous of her granddaughter?"
Li Dandan thought to herself, what else could it be? Because Wang Xiaomai is not her biological granddaughter.
Wang Xiaomai is the first female protagonist in this world. Originally, this was a very inspirational story with characteristics of the era.
Wang Xiaomai's mother was raped accidentally and wanted to commit suicide.
At that time, Wang Xiaomai's adoptive father and biological mother were already married and had two children.
After Wang Xiaomai's adoptive father found out, he rescued Wang Xiaomai's mother.
Wang Xiaomai's father comforted her mother and said, "This is not your fault. We were just unlucky and got bitten by a mad dog.
You can't be depressed because of this. Everyone has his or her share of disasters and misfortunes in life.
If I dislike you for this, I'm not a man.
If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being able to protect you.
If you don't want to live because of this, I won't live either. I will stay with you.
I am a grown man, and I failed to protect my wife. I have no face to live anymore.
It's a pity for our two sons. Our mother will have to help take care of them from now on."
