In this day and age, not to mention eating well, it was not easy to even fill one's stomach.
Seeing the watermelon that Jianjun Chen had cut, even Captain Li hesitated, let alone the other construction workers.
Watermelons were a luxury these days.
Captain Li was about to refuse, but Jianjun Chen immediately expressed that it was sunny now, and eating some watermelon was just nice.
Under Chen Jianjun's insistence, Captain Li did not refuse. He called everyone over and took a short break.
The workers holding the watermelons in their hands swallowed their saliva, but they did not eat them.
One of the workers said,"Boss, I can't bear to eat this watermelon. Can you bring it back to my children?"”
The others nodded in agreement, including Captain Li.
It seemed a little wasteful for him to eat this. He wanted to bring it back for his child to taste.
Seeing this, Chen Jianjun pointed at the other half of the watermelon that had not been cut and said,"Eat what you're holding. Take the remaining half back and distribute it after work. Then take it home. Now that it's cut open, if you don't eat it quickly, there won't be any juice left later.”
"No, no, we're already satisfied with one piece each. We definitely can't take the rest.”
Captain Li shook his head firmly and said to the other workers,"
"Everyone also lives in the alley. Hurry up and send the watermelons back. Don't delay any longer. We'll get off work later tonight to make up for the lost time.”
Chen Jianjun didn't expect Captain Li to be so serious. The others immediately took the watermelon and ran home.
Even Captain Li ran out.
Chen Jianjun could only shrug helplessly.
The people of this era were too simple.
At this moment, many people in the backyard were also looking at the half watermelon in Chen Jianjun's hand.
Seeing that Chen Jianjun was actually giving the watermelons to these workers, their eyes turned red.
If it weren't for the fear of Chen Jianjun, someone would have come up to snatch it.
At this moment, the Deaf Old Lady walked over.
"Old Madam, I haven't seen you in years. Is your body still strong?”Chen Jianjun took the initiative to greet him.
"Jianjun, there are some things I want to tell you so that you won't misunderstand.”As the Deaf Old Lady spoke, she motioned for Chen Jianjun to enter the house with her.
Jianjun Chen didn't refuse. He helped the Deaf Old Lady into his house.
When Mother Chen was still around, the Deaf Old Lady would often come over at night to chat with Mother Chen. The two of them would cry from time to time.
Jianjun Chen didn't have any bad feelings towards the deaf old lady. The old lady's legs and feet were inconvenient and she had always needed someone to take care of her. Back then, she couldn't take care of her mother.
Even so, when Mother Chen was seriously ill, the Deaf Old Lady often came over to chat with Mother Chen.
Of course, because the Deaf Old Lady was on Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu's side at that time, Chen Jianjun did not have a good impression of the Deaf Old Lady.
However, the Deaf Old Lady was also a pitiful person. She had moved to the courtyard earlier than Chen Jianjun and the others.
The Deaf Old Lady was an elder in the courtyard. Her children had sacrificed their lives for the country. In addition to her age, she was also a five-guarantee household, so she was also respected in the courtyard.
Back then, the Deaf Old Lady lived in the Chen family's main house. When the streets were arranged, she knew that the Chen family that was moving in was full of loyalty. A woman was taking care of two children, so she gave up the main house and lived in a side room.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the main house of the Chen family belonged to the Deaf Old Lady.
Chen Jianjun hadn't come back for four years. The Deaf Old Lady also thought that Chen Jianjun might not come back.
She also knew the nature of those beasts in the courtyard, so she participated in it. At least the main house that she used to live in could not fall into the hands of beasts.
This was what the Deaf Old Lady wanted to explain.
The Deaf old lady knew about the house, and Chen Jianjun must have thought of her. She didn't want Chen Jianjun to hate her if she came over to explain.
"When Yi Zhonghai and the others were discussing the house, I knew about it. I was also worried that you would be too young to fight them. If the main house was with me, I would return it to you when you came back.
If you don't come back after I leave, I will leave the house to Silly Zhu. Silly Zhu is not a bad person, but sometimes she is a little silly and stubborn. She is also very good to me…"
The Deaf Old Lady didn't hide anything and told him what was on her mind.
Chen Jianjun believed the old lady's words, especially when she said that if he didn't come back, he would give the house to He Yuzhu.
Back then, the Deaf Old Lady and her mother had a good relationship.
However, Chen Jianjun didn't say anything. At this time, the Deaf Old Lady continued,"
"Back then, when Chen Yatou was seriously ill, my legs were inconvenient and I couldn't live well. I suggested that the others in the courtyard take turns to take care of your mother, but Chen Yatou was too stubborn and refused no matter what.
You were still young back then, and Yi Zhonghai and the others took care of me. Therefore, many times, I could only side with Yi Zhonghai without violating my principles…"
The Deaf old lady said a lot," You've grown up now. I'm afraid I don't have many years left to live. Now, I just want to see you and Silly Zhu start a family, especially you. You're a pitiful child. You didn't have a father's love since you were young. Your mother passed away early. All these years, it's really been hard on you.”
"It's not hard. As a member of the Chen family, I'm very proud. My father, grandfather, my brother, and my mother are all good people and role models for me.”Jianjun Chen said firmly.
"Seeing you grow up and become a talent, I'm really happy for Chen girl. She taught you well, and you brothers are her pride.”The Deaf Old Lady said with tears in her eyes.
Jianjun Chen took a deep breath and said,""Grandma, I'll cut some watermelon for you to eat to relieve the heat.”
Chen Jianjun changed the way he addressed him. Some things were actually solved after they were explained.
After all, it was just some residual emotions in his heart.
Before he transmigrated, Chen Jianjun had also read some Doujin novels about Siheyuan. Many people wrote about the deaf old lady as heinous.
However, there was no such thing as darkness. How could the Deaf Old Lady's family members be faked? The family members of a martyr were a very serious matter. They had to be investigated thoroughly. As for impersonating their identity, it was even more impossible.
A few years ago, the deaf old lady still had relatives. If it was fake, she would have been exposed long ago.
As for binding her feet, it didn't mean anything. In her previous life, Jianjun Chen's great-grandmother had also bound her feet when she was 105 years old.
At that time, it was not only the rich who bound their feet, but it was a trend of the times.
Over the years since she came to the courtyard house, the Deaf Old Lady and Mother Chen had a good relationship. They were people who had the same problem and shared the most common topics in the courtyard.
Chen Jianjun had also secretly observed this group of people in the courtyard. They weren't that dark at all. To put it bluntly, they were just plotting against each other.
They were just lying on He Yuzhu's body and sucking blood.
As for being unpardonable, that was really not the case.
As for the Deaf Old Lady, Chen Jianjun had thought about it before he came back.
They would be safe and not interfere with each other.
However, Chen Jianjun didn't expect the Deaf Old Lady to come directly to tell him the truth. Although he didn't know what the Deaf Old Lady was thinking, it didn't matter at all.
The two families still had a little bit of kinship. If the Deaf Old Lady were to be a hundred years old in the future, he would not mind sending her on her last journey.
According to the timeline of the plot, it would only take about ten years.
