Chapter 289: Reminiscing about the Past
After making the call, Qin Mutong returned home, and the old lady beckoned her to dinner: "...... How about him alone in the provincial capital? In these days, it is not easy to do a little business, let alone like him. He has no relatives in the provincial capital, and he is not sure how many sins he will suffer outside. When you are fine, you can call people two more times, care more about him, and save him from being alone outside, which is not good. ”
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the old lady still understands this.
Qin Mutong said funny: "Okay milk, I know." You've changed so much now, and you're spending a lot of money. Brother Fang Yi is in the provincial capital, I called from here, it was a long distance. This long-distance phone call is expensive, and if you call often, it will be even more incredible, and your old man is willing to do it?"
As soon as the phone bill was mentioned, the old lady immediately felt distressed.
The main thing is that her old man usually doesn't need this phone, and even if she uses the phone, she doesn't need the old lady to give money in person, so even if the old lady knows that this call is very expensive, she usually can't remember it.
"If you don't mention this, I really forgot!" the old lady said with a frown, "Then what should I do? Just let Fang Yi be alone outside, and there is not even a person to ask for warmth?"
Qin Mutong: "......"
Look at what the old lady said, so that the uninformed people listened to it, and thought that Zheng Fangyi was really a poor lonely person!
"It's okay milk, let's just call it. Qin Mutong had no choice but to say, "Brother Fang Yi has earned so much money outside, can he not even earn this little phone bill?"
The old lady suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's also ......"
As she spoke, the old lady pretended to be angry and patted Qin Mutong's arm: "Let you scare me! I really thought that our family couldn't afford to pay this phone bill!"
In the past, even if the old lady had a lot of private money in her hand, she was also careful to live, and she would never be willing to spend so much money, just to make a phone call from time to time and chat a few words of gossip on the phone.
But now, her old man has even lived in the villa in the provincial capital, is she afraid that she can't afford to pay this phone bill?
The old lady is now wealthy.
Qin Mutong said aggrievedly: "Didn't I learn from you! No matter how much money we have, don't we still have to live thriftily?"
Old Lady: "......"
This girl has really grown up, and she can talk back to her so much that she can't speak!
"Then you can follow me and study hard!" said the old lady through gritted teeth, "I have lived most of my life, and there are still many things I can let you learn!"
"That's!" Qin Mutong proudly hugged the old lady's arm and said, "You are the treasure of our family, I will learn from you for the rest of my life!"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady just wanted to pretend to be angry, but she couldn't pretend to be able to do it anymore.
"You, this little mouth doesn't know who to learn from, coaxing people to set one by one. Obviously, our ancestors have been honest people for generations, and no one has the ability of you!" the old lady said speechlessly.
But the corners of her curved mouth revealed her good mood at the moment.
Qin Mutong said with a smile: "I was raised by milk, and my ability to coax people, of course, I also learned from milk!"
"Nonsense!" The old lady glared at Qin Mutong, but couldn't help laughing, "I see your mouth, it's the same as your mother'......"
Before she finished speaking, the old lady's face froze suddenly.
Oops, why didn't she pay attention for a while, mentioning Tong Tong's own mother?!
The old lady panicked all of a sudden, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Qin Mutong knew the knot in the old lady's heart, and said with a smile: "Milk, you are shirking your responsibility." For as long as I can remember, you've been teaching me how to eat and behave. Now that I'm older, you don't recognize that you taught me...... That's not going to work!"
The implication is that Qin Mutong was raised by an old lady, no matter what happens in the future, she will only recognize the old lady as an elder!
The old lady has lived for such an age, what do you not understand?
She immediately understood the meaning of Qin Mu's fairy tale.
As soon as the old man's eyes were hot, they turned red in an instant.
If it weren't for the old lady's timely control, I'm afraid that the old tears would have fallen down the corners of her eyes.
The good granddaughter she raised didn't disappoint her after all!
The old lady had tears in her eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, my old woman, I can't say that you are a little girl! You are my teacher, can I still admit it?"
"That's right!"
Qin Mutong pretended not to see the tears in the old lady's eyes, and pulled the old lady to the dining table to sit down and eat with a smile: "Milk, what day is it, you have made so many delicious dishes! I love this stir-fried shredded potato, and I can't get tired of eating it every day! There is also this braised eggplant and tomato ball soup...... Is there an important holiday that I don't remember?"
"Stinky girl, you will scream for such a little food, as if I usually abused you!" said the old lady angrily, "Don't we usually eat the same thing?
Qin Mutong paused, and suddenly smiled: "Milk, I think of the days when we used to be in the village. I remember a few years ago, when I was still in elementary school, my family was poor, and life was not easy. One day, I saw a few children in the village passing by in front of our house with a roasted red let, and I couldn't get enough of it, so I wanted to beg you to bake it for me too. But you don't agree, saying that the red lotus is our family's ration, and we have to count the numbers to eat, and we can't eat more. I wasn't embarrassed to beg you again, but in the end, you still couldn't bear it, and quietly buried a big red leaf in the stove while cooking. Later, when you brought it to me, I was so excited that I almost didn't jump, and I was happy for months. ”
Referring to these past events, the old lady also felt a lot of emotion in her heart: "At that time, the family was poor, and our family didn't have much income, so we had to save a little bit of food and clothing? If we let others know that we eat and drink at home all day long, I'm afraid that our grandparents and grandchildren will have been gnawed to the point that there are no bones left!"
At that time, the Qin family was really not short of money, but if there was money, then the Qin family would not be at that level.
Porridge cooked with red lotus is the staple food of the Qin family every day.
It's like now, all kinds of stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat and white rice, everything is complete, you can eat whatever you want.
