Chapter 799 Ye Shu guessed it again
These words were exactly what Grandma Liao wanted.
In fact, from the very beginning, when Grandma Liao came out crying with her grandson in her arms, her eyes were fixed on Yard No. 2 opposite.
She knew in her heart that it was useless to look for other yards or other houses.
No matter how pitifully and tragically she cried, others would just watch the show or observe from the sidelines, and no one would really take out food, money, tickets, meat or anything like that from their homes to help their family have a good New Year.
But Courtyard No. 2 is different!
Just like others have said, the people living there are all family members of the cadres stationed in the garrison area!
Aren’t we always claiming that the military and the people are one family?
Haven’t they always been claiming that they are the people’s soldiers?
That’s perfect, they are in trouble now!
This is the time when we need the help of the people’s soldiers!
She thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to go to Yard No. 2 directly.
So, she sat outside and cried, until everyone was overwhelmed with sympathy and told her what was in their hearts.
She acted as if to say, "Look, someone is giving me advice," and then she carried her grandson to knock on the door of Yard No. 2.
The main thing is an expression of, "It wasn't me who wanted to go, it was others who asked me to go. I really had no choice. I really couldn't survive during the New Year!"
There was a knock on the gate of Courtyard No. 2. The people who had just spoken to Grandma Liao outside had not left. They were all standing outside, listening with their ears perked up and their necks stretched out to watch the fun.
Some people even went back to their respective yards to call more people out. It was going to be fun, so everyone could watch together!
In the courtyard of No. 2.
Because today is Chinese New Year, delicious food has been coming out of the pot continuously since morning, and the happiest ones are the children!
There are delicious food, fun things and new clothes to wear. The most important thing is that no matter how naughty they are, their parents won’t say much to them, let alone beat them, because they want to celebrate the New Year happily!
Ye Shu even gave some pocket money so that big brother Huo Junmo could take the children to buy firecrackers to play with.
Although the whole country is now calling for no holidays and no production suspension during the New Year, and also advocating not celebrating the festival and keeping everything simple, some places have even taken a one-size-fits-all approach and labeled all festival activities as feudal superstitions.
But public opinion cannot be resisted, and small firecrackers and fireworks like these still sell very well during festivals and holidays.
It’s not possible for Ye Shu’s family to use the money to buy toys alone. After all, there are so many children in the yard and they all play together.
So, each family took out some pocket money and let the children buy the toys they wanted to play with.
Just one request: be safe and only play in the yard.
When Grandma Liao came to the door, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers in the yard of No. 2, which drowned out her knocking on the door. In addition, her voice was a little soft, so no one inside heard it.
Even Ye Shu, who had very good hearing, didn't hear it.
It was not until Ye Shu brought a small bag of peanuts to Mrs. Jin's house and asked her to help fry them that he heard some movement outside the courtyard gate.
At this time, Zhuang Jingjing also ran out of the house. Seeing Ye Shu and the others, she said anxiously, "Oh no! There are a lot of people gathered outside, saying that we deliberately didn't open the door and didn't help!"
"I was just frying something, and the frying pan was a bit loud. There were also firecrackers outside, but I didn't hear anyone knocking on the door!"
Her house was on the street, and when she heard the noise outside, she thought something was wrong and hurried to inform everyone.
Ye Shu signaled the children in the yard to be quiet, and the sound of voices outside could be heard faintly:
"Oh my, this is what the officials are good at. They just close the door and hide away, eating and drinking, not caring about other people's lives!"
"They really did it! Oh my god, so cold-blooded! How can someone like this be a soldier's family? Hahaha!"
These words are meant to deliberately stir up trouble and smear the cadres in the garrison area!
They didn't care if they were criticized, because it wouldn't hurt them anyway.
However, the garrison area cannot be discredited. Once they lose their credibility and popularity in the hearts of the people, there will be chaos in Wumu Town.
Ye Shu and the others looked at each other and quickly walked to the gate of the yard to open it.
Grandma Liao was sitting at the gate crying again. Maybe she was tired of crying or something, so she leaned against the gate.
As soon as Ye Shu opened the door, she leaned back and almost fell to the ground.
It's New Year's Day, and this is happening at the gate of the courtyard?
It's somewhat unlucky.
The people outside were watching the fun, while Mrs. Jin and the others frowned and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Ye Shu reacted quickly, raised his foot forward, and pressed his calf against Grandma Liao's back, preventing her from falling. At the same time, he said:
"Be careful! You look quite old. A fall in this cold weather could be a disaster!"
"Even if you don't care, the child in your arms can't help but fall and easily lose his arms and legs."
Mrs. Liao was startled by the foot on her back. Before she could react, she heard these words, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She responded weakly:
"How can you be so harsh, comrade! I, an old woman..."
Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing had already rushed forward to support her. They couldn't just let her sit at the gate, let alone let her fall here.
It’s New Year’s Day, how unlucky!
Mrs. Jin had a bad first impression of Mrs. Liao. When she saw that she was from Courtyard No. 1 across the street, and thought about how they treated the two young children, she became very unhappy.
When Mrs. Liao started talking, her words were so unpleasant that the outspoken Mrs. Jin couldn't stand it. She immediately interrupted her and said, "Hey, hey, hey, this is the truth. Don't be offended by it."
"Old lady, you are old now, you really need to be careful!"
Mrs. Liao was also a shrewd person. Seeing that she was obviously a powerful person, she did not make any useless arguments and directly stated her purpose of coming:
"Comrades! Please have mercy on our family and save us!"
Mrs. Tang also heard the noise and came out, thinking that she was here to make trouble again. She explained helplessly:
"We have indeed reported your situation. This house cannot be replaced overnight. Please understand."
If the house is really dilapidated and uninhabitable, then we will definitely arrange new accommodation for them immediately, even if it means moving them to a guesthouse.
But that’s not the key issue!
Their house is in good condition, but they want to move it just because of some feudal superstitions. This reason is untenable!
Mrs. Liao quickly shook her head:
"It's not about the house. Today is New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year. We were not free before and couldn't go out to buy things. Then the baby got sick, so we didn't take care of him. Now we realize that it's Chinese New Year and the child has nothing to eat!"
Mrs. Tang and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all looked at Ye Shu.
Sure enough, she guessed it right, they really came to her house!
