Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 297 Comparison
And then towards this group of young people, I showed a smile like you bachelors who don't understand how husband and wife get along, I don't blame you.

I don't know why, watching these old men and aunts get along with each other, all the young people present obviously haven't eaten yet, and suddenly feel full, very full.

That is to say, Zhang Yu was so busy picking up Sophora japonica flowers with his head down that he didn't see what happened just now.

Otherwise, they will be told that this is called spreading dog food in later generations.

As time went by, several young people climbed onto the tree.

Wherever the breeze passes by, the fragrance comes to the face.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but pick up a dulu, put it in his mouth and taste it.

My thoughts also involuntarily returned to the time when I was young in the previous life.

When he first came to his aunt's and uncle's house for a few years, his aunt and uncle had no jobs and relied on farming to support the whole family.

Life wasn't very good at first, and he added such a "oil bottle".

Life is even more difficult.

But no matter how busy they were, Auntie and the others never ignored the children.

Although the living conditions were not very good at that time, it has to be said that there was never a shortage of emotions.

No matter how busy he was, every year when the pagoda trees were in full bloom, my sister-in-law would always urge my uncle to take their group of children to the pagoda tree forest next to the small river ditch to pick a few pagoda flowers.

After returning home, carefully pick out the branches and leaves that were accidentally mixed in, wash and dry, mix with flour and steam.

During the steaming process, the group of children would circle around the stove and circle around my sister-in-law.

Everyone wants to be the first to eat steamed Sophora japonica.

It's just that sister-in-law often pats their little hands and asks them to go out and wait a while.

Then wait until it cools down, and then mix it with garlic juice and a little oil.

Even though they were only children at the time, they could eat two or three bowls alone.

My stomach was bulging, and I was reluctant to leave the table.

It was my sister-in-law who coaxed me to say that I would do it tomorrow, so I reluctantly left the table.

Then, although my stomach was still full, I started to think about the next meal of steamed locust flowers.

In addition to steaming Sophora japonica, my sister-in-law would occasionally take the trouble to steam a Sophora japonica bun and fry a Sophora japonica egg pancake for them without wasting oil.

When my sister-in-law is not busy and it is the season when the Sophora japonica is in full bloom, my sister-in-law will also make more and dry it into dried Sophora japonica, and save it for tooth-making sacrifices on days when there are no Sophora japonica.

"What are you thinking about, Xiaoyu?" The weight on his shoulders interrupted his memory.

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Gouzi.

Seeing his tired expression, Zhang Yu asked with concern: "Brother Zheng, why didn't you go to rest?"

Then he answered his question just now, "I was just thinking about how to eat this Sophora japonica flower?"

"Sophora japonica, yo, this year's Sophora japonica bloomed quite early, and it's pretty good. How much did you guys hit?" Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zheng Gouzi looked at the basket in Zhang Yu's hand.

"This year it's blooming very well. We have these old locust trees in our yard, and we can save a lot of food these few days." Zhang Yu said with a sigh as he looked at the lively crowd outside the door.

Even though he has already sold grain to the courtyard through Zheng Gouzi and his sister-in-law, there are still many families who are short of food.

"That's right, with this Sophora japonica flower, the life of the people in the courtyard will be better for at least half a month." Hearing Zhang Yu's sigh, Zheng Gouzi also echoed.

It's just that where Zhang Yu didn't see, his eyes revealed a trace of complexity.

As a child who grew up eating Baijiafan, these pagoda trees have a special meaning to him.

No matter how nice the people in the courtyard are, they are not his real parents, and they will not be careful about everything.

And I don't always think about whether he is full or whether he will be hungry?

He also knew that it was not easy for the people in the courtyard, so if someone called him to eat, he would go, and if no one called, he would be hungry.

Never take the initiative to go to someone's house to beg for food.

And every year when the elm and sophora japonica are in full bloom, it is his good day.

At this time of year, he can eat a little more.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder this time, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Zheng, what are you thinking about? Let's go, the ones I picked up here are almost the same, go back and wash them, and ask my sister-in-law to prepare something delicious for us."

After speaking, he pulled Zheng Gouzi and walked into the house.

Breaking free from the memories, Zheng Gouzi also smiled when he came back to his senses.

Now that he has grown up, he can earn food by himself and has the capital to support himself.

He is no longer afraid of being hungry like he was when he was a child.

The more he thought about it, the more relieved he was, he put his arms around Zhang Yu's shoulders, "Come on, I've wanted Aunt Guifang to do crafts for a long time, and I have to eat more today."

"That's not right, you won't let you go if you don't eat enough today." Seeing that he had figured it out, Zhang Yu was relieved, and also joked with him.

Seeing them go, other people who felt that they had picked up almost the same also went back one after another.

For this point, the people in the courtyard are quite conscious.

The kind of people who have a little more surplus food at home will not pick too much.

Eat a meal or two at most to try something new.

Most of the rest will be tacitly left to those families in the courtyard who do not have enough food.

For these, those who have no surplus food at home are also well aware of it.

And I am very glad that I live in this yard now.

Although there is not much help on the surface, it is this kind of silent and silent help that warms people's hearts.

Just like Zheng Gouzi when he was a child, although these locust trees won't play much of a role, they can help more people overcome the difficulties in front of them.

What Zhang Yu didn't know was that when their entire yard was in joy, the atmosphere at Shi's house was very solemn.

Quartz held back his anger, and greeted his neighbors with a normal smile.

After the neighbor left and entered the gate of his house, his face was pulled down with a swipe.

At this moment, Shi Shi's face turned blue, a blue vein on his forehead protruded, and several tendons connected to the sun's socket on his face were all twitching there.

The mouth opens and closes, closes and opens again.

In the end, considering the neighbors around him, he could only swallow it alive.

It's just that his anger at this time can be seen from his eyes that seem to be able to burst into flames.

At this moment, Shi Shi only felt that anger rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and there was an unknown fire in his heart, which just burned like that.

The family members who came over were terrified when they saw his face and his gritted teeth.

Especially a few children, leaning tightly against the wall, trying to shrink their bodies and reduce their sense of existence.

If possible, they would like to disappear from Quartz's eyes now, immediately, immediately.
