On the outskirts of Beijing, out of the city, the scenery gradually becomes better, especially in the direction of the reservoir, there are mountains and rivers, and you can see the green trees all the way.

Slow along the reservoir, the surrounding area is becoming more and more barren, and there are even some areas, it is difficult to see people, and even the intersection along the reservoir is sealed by cement piers, not allowing tourists to pass, proving that it is already very dangerous and no longer suitable for ordinary people.

But no matter how dangerous the place is, it can't stop people's curiosity.

Behind a small dirt slope in the middle of nowhere, seven or eight old men and women, who are obviously not small, are laying picnic cloths and sitting on the ground chatting happily.

The place where they are located is not suitable for walking, because the shore of the reservoir here is full of tidal flats, with long aquatic plants growing in the mud, flies and mosquitoes flying sideways, and the smell and scenery are relatively poor. In a deep ditch next to the tidal flat, two cars were trapped, comically pouting the trunk, and they would definitely not be able to pull it out without a crane.

But almost every one of these people was happy, and they didn't seem to have any displeasure because of the predicament in front of them. Only a middle-aged aunt in her forties, with anxiety on her face, ran up the dirt slope from time to time, looking around, hoping that the person who came to save them would appear sooner.

It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that the middle-aged aunt finally breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand at the two cars coming in front of her, and shouted loudly: "Tao Xian, here, here!"

After shouting two sentences, she felt that the people in the car were afraid that they would not be able to hear her, so she slapped her head, quickly took out the phone, and called Tao Xian.

Tao Xian looked for them for an afternoon, and almost as soon as he met someone in the middle, he got out of the car and asked if anyone had seen the group of old men and women, including many locals, and after searching for several hours, he finally found a place.

Tao Yide was leaning on the huge picnic basket he had rescued from the car, talking to his friend in a high voice.

The man who spoke to him was a man with a childish face and crane hair, about seventy years old, with a fairy wind and bones, with a white beard, sitting cross-legged on a picnic cloth, smiling at Tao Yide's words without saying a word, and he didn't know whether to support or not.

Aunt Lu hurried over and said, "Old man, envy is here." ”

Tao Yi let out an oh, obviously not paying attention, waved his hand, and continued to talk to his friend.

Aunt Lu said again: "Old man, Xian Xian brought a friend over to help, do you want to see it, she is a very good-looking girl." ”

Before Tao Yide could react, Tao's grandmother Mo Wanyu was suddenly excited and stood up: "Yo, it shouldn't be the envy of my new girlfriend! ”

Tao Xian is so old, Grandma Tao feels heartbroken for his marriage, if Tao Xian can get married as soon as possible, she will thank God for going to the temple to restore.

The rest of the old people listened to Tao ***'s words, and their eyes lit up.

At this age, what can you worry about? It's nothing more than a matter of children and grandchildren. They all know Tao Xian's situation, this child is similar to the children in their family, all of them are excellent, but it's a pity that they are uncertain, it's a pity. If Tao Xian's girlfriend is good, and she can settle down early, it can be regarded as a good start for their life.

As soon as Su Ruotong walked across the hillside, her steps couldn't help but stagnate, because six pairs of eyes looked at her directly, full of curiosity and a special kindness and enthusiasm, which made people feel strange.

It was Grandma Tao Mo Wanyu who reacted first, and said with disappointment: "Yo, isn't this the little girl from the Su family." The tone changed, and he greeted in a loud voice: "Tongtong, why did you come here with Xianxian." ”

"Old Taozi, isn't this your granddaughter-in-law?" The white-bearded old man beside Tao Yide poked Tao Yide, and it seemed that he was still satisfied with Su Ruotong.

Su Ruotong is not bad-looking, and she is very temperamental, but with her appearance, she is worthy of Tao Envy. Listening to Mo Wanyu's words, the two families still know each other, it seems that this marriage has a spectrum!

Tao Yide waved his hand: "No! This little girl is the little granddaughter of a family friend of my family, and she is this number younger than my grandson." As he spoke, he stretched out two slaps and compared.

"Oh, this little girl is only twenty!" The white-bearded old man's eyes lit up: "My little grandson is twenty-four, and she is quite a match, your family's Tao Xian can't do it with her, I let my grandson come out to meet the girl." ”

While speaking, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian had already arrived in front of several old men.

Although Su Ruotong has a paralyzed face, she is polite to people, even if she doesn't smile and doesn't have too many expressions, she won't make these old people feel perfunctory. Whether a person is sincere or not actually has little to do with whether he laughs or not, it depends on that heart.

"Little girl, sit and rest, drive all the way, this place is not easy to find. ”

"And said, it's not that you old thing has to come to a quiet place, can you find it!"

"This is also to blame me, who is going to bury the pot in front of the reservoir administrator to cook and ask people to drive us more than ten miles away!"

Before Su Ruotong could say anything, several old men and ladies quarreled.

Mo Wanyu still held Su Ruotong's wrist and said, "Don't shout! It's not early, go back quickly, don't delay the children's time." ”

The white-bearded old man beside Tao Yide turned his head, looked at Mo Wanyu, and said with a smile: "That's not good, we came today, isn't it just a picnic, we haven't eaten any food, how can we return in vain." Envy, come here, you are young and strong, go to the car over there, take out everything from our guys, and I won't go back if you don't have a meal. ”

The direction he was pointing was the two cars that had been stuck in the pit.

Their old men's bodies and bones are not as good as those of young people, the pit is not deep, it is not shallow, although the young people jump into it and can't show their heads, but they can still come up when they climb, and their old bones are not good.

Tao Xian was depressed for a while, but seeing that Tao Yide was actually enjoying it, only Mo Wanyu had a little opinion, and it seemed that she was still afraid of troublesome Su Ruotong, if he did it alone, it didn't matter, he just beeped the dog in his heart.

These old men are too bored! Can't you go to the park to do tai chi, you have to give him these troubles.

Tao Xian stiffened his head and walked towards the pit. The car was not broken, and the trunk could be opened, but it still took a lot of effort to take things out, especially since these old men and ladies were rich and fastidious, and the picnic equipment they brought was super rich and super-rich, and when the things were all done, it was already half an hour.

On the picnic cloth, Su Ruotong had been chatting with the old men and ladies for a long time, and she seemed to be quite pleasing to them.

Looking at Su Ruotong's quiet and beautiful side face under the still bright near-dusk light, Tao Envy had a somewhat impetuous heart, and suddenly softened quietly.

He doesn't seem to have ever had a picnic outside with his family, although he grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, but in those years, grandpa and grandma were actually very busy, although they were more responsible than his parents, but they didn't have much time to save with him.

It seems that as long as there is Su Ruotong, the atmosphere will become gentle and peaceful, full of various homely atmospheres and happy feelings.

His movements couldn't help but be gentle, carrying a lot of things, Ding Ling moved it four or five times before finishing the move.

Several old men and old ladies pointed fingers and arranged for Tao Xian, the only strong laborer, to dig pits in the ground, pick up stones to build stoves, shovel charcoal, and brush pots...... The regiment he commanded was turned around, but this time, it was always him who commanded others, and Tao Xian, who commanded him for the first time, was willing.

Su Ruotong remembered these old men, because Tao Yide once took people to the Beijing branch of Su's Restaurant for dinner, and there were two old men, who were the same as today's two.

"My name is Gu Yuanzhai!"

"My name is Wu Xianghe!"

The two old men introduced themselves with a smile, and pulled the old lady next to them to let her know: "This is my wife, you can just call grandma." ”

Especially Wu Xianghe, who has white hair and looks like a fairy-like bone, is even more affectionate to Su Ruotong: "Actually, I should have been very familiar with Xiao Su a long time ago, isn't it a coincidence, I came and went." ”

Su Ruotong tilted her head slightly, but she couldn't think of how to go back and forth with him.

Wu Xianghe reminded: "Do you remember, some time ago, your Su's Restaurant participated in the rookie competition of the Global Cooking Competition, and called me to ask about things. I am Hao Lianhong's uncle. Even Hong didn't have a heart, so he said what my surname was. At that time, when I heard that it was Su's Restaurant participating in the competition, I felt sorry for you, thinking that even if others don't protect it next year, I will protect your family. ”

It was Su Changqing who contacted Wu Hexiang at the beginning, Su Ruotong didn't handle this matter, and he really didn't know that Wu Hexiang still had this identity. When she heard this, she immediately said, "Thank you Grandpa Wu." ”

"Look at how rare this little girl is. The more Wu Hexiang's boss looked at Su Ruotong, the happier he became.

This girl is beautiful, quiet and quiet, listening to Wu Hexiang's meaning, she is also a good cooker, and her family runs a restaurant, so she can participate in the global cooking competition.

Their little grandchildren, it's good everywhere, it's just the girls who brought it home, they are all the kind of little faces with pointed chins and no cheeks, their eyelashes are so long, and their faces are painted with colorful colors, which look weird and scary.

It's still the clear and plain, beautiful girl in front of her, who doesn't seem to stick to the fireworks in the world, it's comfortable to look at! She doesn't believe that his grandson can see this girl or not! It's a person who likes such a good girl.

"Tongtong, what do you belong to, do you have a partner?" asked Grandma Wu with concern.

Su Ruotong flickered her eyelashes slightly, but she didn't answer, Tao Xian, who was listening with her ears stunned, hurriedly came over and said, "Don't learn from my grandmother, be a matchmaker when you see someone every day." ”

Several old men turned their heads in unison and glared at Tao Xian: "The pot is washed, the fire is lit, let's cook!"

Tao Xian's face froze, but Mo Wanyu and Tao Yide showed an unpredictable smile.

Wu Hexiang said slowly: "Oh, I want to eat slippery eggs and shallots! You close your mouth first and serve me this dish, envy!"

Suddenly, many people on the field laughed together when they heard Wu Hexiang's words.
