"Okay", Ma Ruozhu was overjoyed, if Zhou Yao agreed, then his son would be happy, and he would always be smiling and happy.

However, she suppressed her smile and asked Zhou Yao: "You must be conditional, right?"

Zhou Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he smiled, talking to smart people is pleasant. She nodded and said, "The condition is to deal with Wu Ningxin's affairs well."

"Wu Ningxin", Ma Ruozhu's eyes turned cold, she didn't care about this matter at first, but now it seems that she has to deal with it.

Zhou Yao drank this cup of tea and said to Ma Ruozhu: "Then I'll go to the living room to chat with my grandmother." Now that the mystery has been revealed, it should be solved, and Ma Ruozhu has to be left with space.

Ma Ruozhu nodded, and after seeing Zhou Jin leave, he called Jiang Chengyan: "Chengyan, you help me check one thing."

Zhou Jin came to the living room, the old lady was choosing leeks, Zhou Jin took a low bench, sat next to the old lady, and helped the old lady choose leeks.

The old lady smiled and said, "The leek pork dumplings we made tonight are for you, and when you choose them cleanly, take them home when you leave."

Zhou Yao said: "Then I'll go home and choose slowly, and let my grandmother work hard." The old lady replied: "You young people are so busy at work, how can you have time, my old lady is idle and idle, and choosing vegetables should be regarded as a relief for boredom."

Zhou Yao was very moved, snuggled up to the old lady's shoulder, and said, "Thank you, grandma." The old lady looked at her fondly, an amorous girl, always pleasing and loving.

Zhou Jia felt that he must have accumulated virtue, so he met a good person like his grandmother. She asked the old lady emotionally: "Grandma, do you believe that there is a cycle of cause and effect in this world?"

"Of course", said the old lady, "when I was a child, my mother told me a story, do you want to listen to it".

Zhou Yao nodded, the stories of the old man are all the true meaning of life that he has realized after going through the wind and rain, which is conducive to purifying the soul and guiding the correct direction of life.

"At that time, it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and in that war-torn era, our family's business was not very rich, but it was full of food and clothing," my grandmother said.

Zhou Jin agreed, and listened to the old lady continue: "There is a fellow, he heard that the price of rice in the south is very expensive, if we transport the rice we have hoarded here to the south and sell it, we can make a fortune." So he borrowed money from my father and told my father that if he got rich, he would come back and divide it with my father.

My dad lent him half of the family's silver dollars, bought a cart of rice, and set off for the south."

Grandma recalled: "My mother complained to my father that he shouldn't lend him money now that there is war everywhere. Don't say whether he will keep his promise to come back and divide it equally if he makes a fortune, it would be good if he could come back alive.

My dad laughed at the time and said that he was gambling and giving the guy a chance in his life. My mom said that my dad gambled with half his life, and the rest of the family's money couldn't even barely make ends meet.

My mom waited for three months, and the guy didn't come back, so she blamed my dad, thinking that maybe the guy didn't go to the south, but brought the rice home for the family to eat. My dad said that if that was the case, I would have funded the lives of their family. ”

Grandma put down the leeks in her hand and said, "Half a year later, the Japanese devils entered the city, saying that someone in the city had killed their soldiers and wanted to bury the entire people in the city alive. ”

Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask, "Are they really all buried alive?"

"Yes," said my grandmother, "my mother said that when she pushed our family to the edge of the pit, it was the guy who was the guide for the Japanese. The guy told the Japanese that our family was a good citizen, and the Japanese let our family go."

Zhou Jia nodded and sighed: "Sure enough, it is the reincarnation of cause and effect, and if there is a good result, it must be the good cause planted in the front." ”

Grandma said: "Yes, fortunately in misfortune, I didn't expect that a cart of rice would change the lives of the whole family." It is precisely because the lives of the whole family have been saved that the family business can be continued. ”

Zhou Yao was full of emotion, and grandma said with a smile: "You young people, you don't like to talk to us old people, and you dislike us for being backward, but you kid, you like to listen to my old lady tell stories."

Zhou Yao said seriously: "Grandma has taught me the truth of life all her life, of course I have to understand it seriously, so that I can know how to cherish the blessings and pass on the business from generation to generation."

Grandma praised endlessly, this granddaughter-in-law really didn't find fault.

"Alas," the old lady sighed.

Zhou Yao was puzzled and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady replied slowly: "There are few people with gray hair, and at my age, those who can speak have passed away." I didn't expect to be familiar with you at first sight."

"Then grandma, you can teach me more, I like to listen, you talk to me, we call it 'the way of the knower'", Zhou Jin said.

Ma Ruozhu praised at the door: "What a 'way to know', Zhou Yao, you will come more in the future and talk to my mother."

In fact, the old man just hopes to have someone to talk to, and he will talk about his life's experience, whether it is success or failure, and maybe he can help young people.

When people get old, it is inevitable to feel the sadness of "old is useless", if the life experience of the old people can guide the young people, maybe the old people will have a sense of value.

And there are not many girls like Zhou Jin who understand the hearts of the old man well, which shows that Zhou Jin is willing to understand the old man's mind with her heart and coax the old man to be happy, and she is as happy as she is.

Halfway through dinner, Sima Shu hurried back, and the moment he saw Zhou Yao, his heart relaxed and he was steady.

This kind of day is what he wants most.

The person you want to see the most, when you enter the door after work, sit at the dining table, which makes you feel that this meal is particularly fragrant and warm.

While eating, Sima Shu stared at Zhou Jin from time to time. His sweetness, from the joy of his heart, overflowed irrepressibly.

Sima Shu's eyes followed him, which made Zhou Yao embarrassed, in front of the elders, looking at himself with such hot eyes, is it really good?

Finally got over dinner, Zhou Yao went to the kitchen to help Ma Ruozhu serve fruit, Ma Ruozhu pointed to a plate of cut watermelon and said to Zhou Jin: "This is just taken out of the refrigerator, you let Yangyang eat it, you can't keep it until tomorrow."

"Okay", Zhou Yao agreed, brought this plate of watermelon to Sima Shu's eyes, and said, "You can eat this plate of watermelon."

Sima Shu refused: "I don't eat it."

"Why?"

"If you don't eat, you won't eat, what's the reason?"

Zhou Jin said anxiously: "No matter why, you eat it quickly, otherwise it will be bad tomorrow."

Sima Shu said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, only give it to me when it's broken"!
