Chapter 66: Recognition of Ancestors and Grandchildren (II)
Jinyuan Hotel, Chinese and Western restaurants on the second floor.
On the window seat in the middle, Lu Fang and Grandma Min sat face to face, with a snow-white napkin tied around their necks, and in front of them were pre-dinner bread, Caesar salad, mushroom soup, and filet mignon.
They're eating Western food.
Although Lu Fang is an old-fashioned old man who can't even use his mobile phone, he has been running around the country all year round, has seen a lot of food, and has eaten more types of food than a normal Nancheng person.
He picked up the knife and fork on the table and demonstrated it to Min Xiaomin in person.
“!@#$%^&*^&^^^!@#$%^&^......”
(Translated into Mandarin: Xiaomin, this is the foreigner's meal I promised you to eat before.) I promised you for so long, and I didn't have a chance to fulfill it with you until now. )
Speaking of the story of Lu Fang and Min Xiaomin.
It can probably only be summed up in one sentence: "A young wanderer has no feet, and it is impossible to stop in one place all the time".
Fifty years ago, Lu Fang was twenty-two years old and Min Xiaomin was sixteen years old.
The two met and fell in love at the best age.
Sixteen-year-old Min Xiaomin asked twenty-two-year-old Lu Fang if he would like to stay and be the son-in-law of the Min family.
Although Lu Fang loves Min Xiaomin very much, he loves the world even more. Lu Fang was too young at that time, and he felt that the world was so big, if he hadn't seen the whole world and settled down, he would not be reconciled. So I gave up this relationship and left Min Xiaomin.
Min Xiaomin also obeyed the arrangement of his elders and got married, and since then he has gone his own way.
In this way, a long time passed, until Min Xiaomin died and her husband was widowed. It took a long time for Lu Fang's temples to turn white, and the two resumed contact.
After resuming contact, 45-year-old Min Xiaomin asked 51-year-old Lu Fang again.
Are you willing to stay and be the son-in-law of the Min family?
Lu Fang hesitated again.
At that time, he had just re-established the Chunan Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Carpentry Association, and he needed to run around, go up and down to Haiti to contact those intangible cultural heritage veteran artists living in remote places, and help them find heirs and pass on their skills.
Plus, he has a newly adopted grandson to take care of.
He didn't have the time and energy to share it with Min Xiaomin, so he refused again.
The two cut off contact again.
Until last year, Lu Fang went to Pingxian to run errands and met Min Xiaomin on the street. has been staying in Wuxi to help Min Xiaomin find someone.
This year, under the pretext of helping her find someone, he took her away from Wuxi.
Lu Fang, who is already over the age of Gu and has not much to deal with, finally has time to get along with his first girlfriend and fulfill his vows.
Grandma Min learned from Lu Fang's appearance and picked up the knife and fork.
While learning, he talked to Lu Fang.
“!@#¥%......&*()——”
(Translated into Mandarin: Did you promise me before? It's been so long that I've forgotten it.) )
After all, it was the first time to eat Western food, and Grandma Min's knife and fork were used very badly, and she couldn't cut it well.
At last she lost her temper and threw her knife and fork on the table in a fit of rage.
“!@#¥%......&”
(Translated into Mandarin: This is so bad that I won't eat it.) )
Lu Fang, who was sitting opposite her, asked the waiter for another cutlery, stuffed it into her hand, and coaxed her in a good voice.
“!@#¥%......&”
(Translated into Mandarin: I'll cut it for you, you just have to eat.) )
Then he brought her plate to himself, cut it for her, cut it, and fed it to her with a fork.
Because it was already past the meal, there was only one table left in the restaurant.
In addition, the location they chose was really eye-catching, and they saw it as soon as they entered the door.
Tian Mimi, who had just come down from upstairs, ate a wave of aged dog food solidly.
"Is that guy a little kid grandpa? ...... he and grandma are they?"
Looking at the grandma opposite who was dressed very similar to the black-clothed grandma in his memory, He Zhouyu glanced at Lu Xingjian with disgust, and was very reluctant.
In case this grandma is the grandma in his memory.
Isn't this disgusting kid in front of him his relative?
I really don't want to recognize such relatives.
I have always felt that the two old men are like Tian Mimi, and when I heard He Zhouyu's questions, I felt the joy of finding a confidant. She smiled and said, "You also think that Grandma Min and my uncle and grandfather are very compatible! Anyone who sees it thinks it's an old couple who love each other!"
When Lu Xingjian saw his grandfather and Grandma Min who were eating steak affectionately, his brain was hot, and he substituted himself and Tian Mimi into it, which was so sweet that he whispered in Tian Mimi's ear: "Sister Mimi, when you are old, I will be so considerate to you." ”
Tian Mimi, who was still happily eating melons just now, heard these dangerous words, quickly took two steps back, and stretched out her hand to refuse the dangerous man in front of her: "Thank you, no need." ”
"Sister Mimi, you look so cute when you're shy!"
Lu Xingjian wanted to get to Tian Mimi's side again, but was blocked by He Zhouyu.
He Zhouyu stopped Lu Xingjian with his hand, his face indifferent.
"Mimi is not shy, she is scared by you. Stay away from her. ”
Lu Xingjian deliberately bent his arm and puffed up the muscles on his arm.
"The surname is He, don't think that Sister Mimi likes you, so I don't dare to do anything to you. I taught my rivals a lesson, and even I was afraid. ”
He Zhouyu, who didn't like to solve problems by force, was very unhappy when he saw Lu Xingjian threatening him, and scolded: "You'd better be polite to me!"
Then he looked at the two old men who were eating, raised his head, and said reluctantly: "According to the seniority, you must at least call me cousin." ”
"your cousin. Although my name is grandfather, my father's name is written on the household register. By generation, you have to call me cousin. ”
Hearing this, Tian Mimi, who walked behind He Zhouyu, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although Uncle Grandpa and Grandma Min are very compatible, they just came out for a trip to eat, and these two rookies actually competed for the generation?
It's just so funny.
Hearing Tian Mimi's laughter, He Zhouyu, who was speechless for a while, suddenly remembered something. said confidently: "According to this, Tian Mimi still owes me my father, do you want to follow her and call me uncle?"
Hey, hey, hey, why are you two rookies pecking at each other?
Tian Mimi, who was originally watching the play, suddenly heard that she was being pulled in, and stopped this childish topic with a sense of crisis.
"Okay, okay, He Zhouyu, you better make sure that you are the big brother of the cat cub first, and then compete with Xiao Jane!"
said that he deliberately grabbed him.
At this moment, it seemed that a wind was blowing through He Zhouyu's ears, and a faint voice in the wind said in his ear, "Follow me." ”
He Zhouyu took the initiative to let go of Tian Mimi's hand, as if he had suddenly gained a sense of direction that he had never had before, and walked straight to Grandma Min.
“!@#¥%%%%%”
(Translated into Mandarin: Grandma, where did Grandma go?)
Hearing the familiar local sound, Grandma Min subconsciously turned her head.
Thin eyebrows, thin eyes, small nose and small mouth.
For He Zhouyu, this is a completely unfamiliar face.
He felt like he had found the wrong person.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Suddenly, the black face in the memory was filled by this unfamiliar face.
She was the black-clothed grandmother who carried her back back then.
is also the flower-haired grandma who burned paper in the mourning hall.
He recognized it.
She is Aunt Min, her aunt, and her long-lost relative.
Tears couldn't help but fall.
“!423@!”
(Translated into Mandarin: Grandma!)
Grandma also seemed to recognize He Zhouyu, tears flowed across her eyes.
“%......&!”
(Translated into Mandarin: Kitty Cub!)
The two hugged each other tightly and cried together.
Grandma Min, who found the kitten, was very emotional, touched his face, and said a lot of words. “!@#¥%......&*()——!@#¥%......&*()——”
He Zhouyu listened to her with red eyes, and then looked back at Tian Mimi.
"Mimi, what did my grandma just say. ”
