Chapter 9 Zuzu, I brought you snacks
"Sister, Dad, Mom"

The bucket full of pig food is almost as tall as Yan Xuhang, and lack of nutrition since childhood made Yan Xuhang's figure much shorter than his peers. Yan Xuhang grinned and struggled to carry the pig food up the steps. Excitedly, he threw the scoop on his hand, and wiped the wild vegetable leaves on his buttocks while running.

"Sister, you are back. You are not here these days. No one works with me, but I am exhausted."

Although Yan Xuhang complained, he still did not forget to take what was in Yan Yunxi's hand, so that Yan Yunxi could free up his hand to rest.

"You slacker, just such a little housework makes me tired."

Yan Yunxi scraped Yan Xuhang's collapsed and flat bridge of nose with his free hand, with a smile on his face and eyes full of doting.The two looked at each other, and Wang Yulian beside him also laughed.

"It's still comfortable to go home!"

After being hospitalized for such a long time, Yan Guoqiang couldn't help sighing that the golden nest and the silver nest were indeed not as good as his own kennel after being invited by Yan Guoqing again.

Yan Guoqiang took down the pipe he hadn't smoked for a long time on the wall, and gently buckled it on the stone. He opened the old newspaper in the pipe, fearing that the tobacco inside would be spilled due to his rough actions, he pushed the blackened tobacco with his hands, then picked up a handful and stuffed it into the pipe, and took a match and struck it on the matchbox. With a 'wow' sound, the matchstick was lit. Yan Guoqiang held the fire, lit the tobacco in the pipe, and made a 'swish' burning sound. Yan Guoqiang took a deep breath, and then lay comfortably on the lazy Shaking, it took a long time to exhale the smoke from the nostrils.

"Hey, Guoqiang, are you back? It's comfortable to lie down."

Niu Er, who runs a store at the head of the village, passed by the courtyard wall of Yan Guoqiang's house with a hoe on his shoulder.

"Hey, Second Brother Niu, what's the matter, went to the ground? Come in and sit for a while?"

"No, no, there is still a large area waiting to be turned over. It's not like you have a capable brother. We don't have that kind of rich relatives. We can only eat by working hard."

"Ahaha, what is this saying, Brother Niu?"

The honest Yan Guoqiang is hard to say anything, his brother's reputation has always been admired by people in the village.

He built roads for the village so that every household can open to traffic. It is indeed a great contribution. It is no wonder that everyone praises him for his ability. Yan Guoqiang is also proud of him for being able to make such a contribution to the village.

Yan Yunxi didn't come home for a long time, he was thinking about his ancestor who was nearing a hundred years old under the ridge, so he put down his things, took the biscuits brought back from the city to Yan Zhongliang, and went down to visit.

"Zuzu, Zuzu?"

Yan Yunxi yelled several times in a row but no one answered, the chickens in the yard ran around looking for food, and he searched around the house, but there was no one, Yan Yunxi was about to leave.

"Yo, Xiaoyun, you're back."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind, it was his great-grandfather Yan Zhongliang.

"Ah, Zuzu, where have you been? I haven't found it after searching for a long time."

Yan Yunxi happily hugged Yan Zhongliang's arm.

"For me, it's too boring to be alone at home. Go to your grandpa's house next door to chat for a while, and bask in the sun by the way. It's useless when I'm old. I can't get hot in my bones. No matter how much I wear, I still feel cold." After basking in the sun, it will warm you up and your legs will feel sharp."

Yan Zhongliang, who is over a hundred years old, is by far the longest-lived person in the village. Regardless of his age, his body is still very strong. Officer, he would come back to have fun together during the holidays, so he was the only one at home on weekdays, and Yan Yunxi would come to accompany him when he came home and had nothing to do. Yan Zhongliang also loved this granddaughter whom he had watched grow up.

"Look, Zuzu, I brought you some snacks. This biscuit is delicious. It's soft and not too sweet. My colleagues love it."

"Oh ho ho ho ho, thank you my little granddaughter."

Yan Zhongliang patted Yan Yunxi's hand that was on his arm, and smiled, his white eyebrows formed an upside-down character, his long beard kept trembling, and his mouth full of smoke-stained teeth was left behind by a lifetime of smoking water pipes. It looks creepy and disgusting.Yan Zhongliang is a clean person. Elderly people aged 70 to [-] in the village don’t like to take a bath very much. They always have a smell of long-standing mud mixed with dust. However, Yan Zhongliang often changes his clothes whenever they are dirty. Although the clothes are old , but the washing was very clean. He was also a fastidious person before, and he was the captain of the ten miles and eight towns.

"Ugh"

Yan Yunxi rested her chin, watching Yan Zhongliang happily tasting the biscuits she brought back. She didn't know where to start looking for evidence of Yan Guoqing's illegal activities, and she couldn't help sighing after thinking about it.

"My dear granddaughter, what's the matter?"

Yan Zhongliang put down the biscuit in his hand, and stroked Yan Yunxi's frowning brows with his hands, "Don't frown all the time, it doesn't look good if you have wrinkles, just talk to Zuzu if you have anything on your mind."

"Oh, Zuzu, a lot of things have happened recently"

"Well, if there is anything that can't be solved, talk to Zuzu, maybe a solution will come out."

Looking at the great-grandfather in front of her who loved her so much since she was a child, Yan Yunxi seemed to have never heard what he said about Yan Guoqing. When she praised her third uncle before, he just smiled and said He just smiled when he wasn't.

"Zuzu..."

"Ok?"

"What do you think of my third uncle?"

"Your third uncle? Why did you mention him suddenly? Your troubles are related to him?"

"I want to hear your opinion. When I told you about my third uncle, you never seemed to say anything good or bad about him. I'm curious, what do you think of him?"

"That's your third uncle. What right do I have to speak ill of him?"

Yan Zhongliang patted the biscuit crumbs on his body, deliberately showing off.

"Oh, Zuzu, if you have anything else you can't say to me, don't keep it up."

Yan Yunxi saw that Yan Zhongliang was deliberately teasing her.

"to be frank?"

"Of course!" Yan Yunxi waited quietly for him to speak.

Yan Zhongliang stroked his white beard, and said unhurriedly: "Your third uncle wants to hold everything in his hands, and if he wants something, he will do everything he can. , when I was playing with your uncle and uncle when I was young, I could see that he is not simple."

Yan Zhongliang was still stroking the gray beard on his chin, lost in memory.
