It’s a Bit Early To Cross

That night.

In an old house hidden in the dark in the city, Zhang Yiyan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was suddenly awakened by the howling night wind.

"Well!"

He frowned and sat up. After regaining his senses, he grabbed a piece of rotten and patched clothes that were neatly folded aside, put it on his body, got off the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the light cord a few times. , but the overhead light did not respond.

"Some dog must have cut the wires for me again!" He groped under the bed with his feet cursingly, and soon found a pair of tattered cotton shoes and pulled them on his feet, and then felt in the dark. Come out of the house, go to the corner of the courtyard, and prepare to put some water.

First tick-tick, then clatter, and finally tick-tock again.

It took him a full two minutes to get rid of Chu Heng's urine that could be done in fifteen seconds.

"Hey, I'm old!"

With a gloomy look on his face, Zhang hammered his sore lower back, and returned to the room again with a long sigh.

Having lost his sleepiness, he didn't go back to bed directly, but touched the table, took out a match and lit a kerosene lamp on the table.

When the dim orange light came on in the room, Zhang frowned at the black smoke rising from the lamp, waved his hand to dispel the pungent smell from the tip of his nose, and then sat down to pick up the thermos bottle on the table. Pour yourself a glass of plain water.

"Zip! Ha!"

Under the solitary lamp, the thin old man hunched over with his body holding a water glass and sipping from it. In the dim environment, he looked extremely bleak.

After drinking a few sips of hot water like this, Zhang Yi's eyes gradually became hollow, and he was inexplicably dazed, with a hint of sadness in his expression.

Back in the day, his family was full of friends and descendants.

Unexpectedly, now there is only a residual lamp to accompany him to spend his days.

Even his children just asked someone to secretly bring some things over, and they didn't dare to visit.

"Why!"

After a long time, Zhang Yi sighed deeply, thought about it, got up and walked to the chest of drawers, took out an envelope from the hidden compartment at the bottom, turned around and went back to the table to sit down.

Immediately, he carefully pulled out a few pieces of letter paper from the envelope, slowly unfolded them and placed them under the kerosene lamp, squinting his eyes to examine them carefully.

This letter was sent to him by his second son from a military regiment far away. In addition to some concerns, he also reported that he was safe. But what made him most happy was that his second son said in the letter that his second daughter-in-law was finally born. Yes, it's a boy, the little guy is very good at eating, sometimes the milk is not enough, and the strength is not weak, Lao Zhang's family has another strong boy!

"Ah."

Zhang looked at the section about the grandson in the letter over and over again, and a happy smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

It's been a long time.

He closed the letter with great care, put it back in the envelope, and put it back in the hidden compartment of the chest of drawers. After thinking for a while, he reached out and opened one of the empty cabinets, reached in and fumbled, and opened it. A board exposed a hollowed-out wall hole behind it, inside which were placed bottles of liquor, such as Quanxing Daqu, Moutai, Wuliangye, Fenjiu, and Jingzhi Baigan, all these days, When Chu Heng came over, he brought him every bottle of good wine.

But he didn't even look at the good wine. After reaching out and taking out a small jar from the many wine bottles, he closed the board again and returned to the table with the jar in his arms.

This is the sorghum wine that his eldest son entrusted someone to deliver. The smell of the wine is very strong, and the taste is not satisfactory.

But in his eyes, this wine is the best wine in the world!

Brought a small wine cup from the table, Zhang Yi carefully opened the jar, filled a cup of wine, and then took a small sip of the wine cup.

He was not willing to swallow it directly, but put it in his mouth and squinted his eyes to savor it carefully, and then slowly swallowed it into his stomach contentedly, the blazing smell of alcohol instantly dissipated in his stomach, making his body warm.

After taking a few sips like this, he suddenly frowned and muttered: "The child can't be hungry, I have to find that kid later, and get some milk powder for him."

"Winter Dongdong!"

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door from outside.

Zhang Yi's heart moved, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he quickly put down his wine glass, got up and came out of the house, and went to the gate of the courtyard to open the door.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and he saw Chu Heng standing outside the door carrying a bag of things.

"I guess it's you!" Zhang said with a smile.

"Master Zhang, I wish you New Year's greetings!" Chu Heng cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

Although he was happy in his heart, Zhang Yi still couldn't help showing disgust, curled his lips and said: "It's really fresh, it's the first time I saw someone who came to pay New Year's greetings in the middle of the night, and you came here to visit the grave?"

"I want to come here during the day, do you dare to let me come?" Chu Heng squinted at him, stepped directly into the courtyard, and shouted.

"Keep your voice down, I'm afraid others won't know you're here?" Zhang Yi closed the door in fear, and hurriedly dragged the grandson into the house.

Shaoqing.

The two came to the round table in the house and sat down.

Chu Heng looked at the wine jar on the table and raised his eyebrows: "Hey, where are you singing? Didn't you sleep in the middle of the night and drink wine? It just so happens that I'm a little hungry too, let's have a drink."

As he spoke, he reached out to reach the wine jar.

"Go, go, this is not for you." Zhang slapped his paw away with a glance, picked up the wine jar like a baby, got up and went back to the chest of drawers again, put the wine jar away, and took out a bottle of Jingzhi Bai Gan opened another can of yellow croaker, filled half a plate of peanuts, and put them down on the table.

"Bo wine and vegetables, just drink it."

"That's fine."

Chu Heng didn't dislike it either, he happily took the wine bottle and unscrewed it, poured two cups of wine, touched him, raised his head and drank it all, then picked up a quickie and stuffed a peanut into his mouth , said while eating: "I just went to that grandfather's house."

"Oh? How is he now?" Zhang asked with concern at once.

"Very good, it's much better than you, at least the family is by my side." Chu Heng squinted at him.

"Can you talk, motherfucker? Did you deliberately seek scolding during the Chinese New Year?" Zhang glanced and became anxious.

"Haha." Chu Heng looked at him and laughed. It's easy to get sick if you hold some things in your heart, but it's better to say it out.

"Laugh at your grandma's legs!" Zhang Yi took a quick note and knocked on his forehead with a beard and stare, and then asked angrily: "I have something, you can help me."

"Tell me." Chu Heng asked, rubbing his forehead.

"My second daughter-in-law has given birth, and I don't have enough milk. You can send me some milk powder, and you can tell me how much it is." Zhang Yiyan looked arrogant, and he has made a lot of money from Chu Heng during this time.

"Damn, we two don't have any money, just a little milk powder, just treat me as a follower." Chu Heng waved his hand very generously, raised his wine glass with a smile, and said, "Just talk, your second child Where is it, how much milk powder does UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com need?"

"He's in the frontier now. As for how much milk powder he wants, the more the better. I don't think it's too little for ten or eight cans, and I don't think it's too much for a hundred or eighty cans." Zhang looked at him quietly.

"puff!"

Chu Heng took a sip of the wine and raised his head speechlessly: "Are you raising a child or a calf? You're not afraid of bringing disaster to your son!"

He also understood that the old man would be confused if he cared about it, so after thinking about it, he said, "Well, I'll ask someone to send ten cans over there first, and then I'll get some nutritional supplements to supplement it. If it's not enough, I'll send it back later. I happen to have comrades With the transportation company, it is also convenient to go back and forth.”

"It's okay." Zhang Yi nodded with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass to touch him, and said solemnly: "I won't say thank you, I am an old bone, you can use it as you like!"

"That's just right, but my dog ​​has two teeth grinding. Would you like to remove two of them?"

"I smack you!"
