Chapter Eighty-Eight: Grandma Li's Night Banquet

"Hello Grandma Li!"

As soon as the door opened, Cao Wu greeted him obediently.

"Come in, come in, Xiao Wu has grown so tall, huh?" Grandma Li smiled and beckoned Cao Wu and Zhang Jiaqian to come in.

She was thinner and taller than in the previous two years, and although her hair was all white, her complexion was ruddy and her spirit was strong.

Pulling Cao Wu over, holding his two arms, looking up and down, Grandma Li said happily: "I don't see it in a blink of an eye, I have grown into a big boy! The longer it is, the more beautiful it is, whatever you want!"

Zhang Jiaqian said with a smile: "It has only grown taller in the past two years, and the last time I brought him, he only came to your ears!"

"You have to pay attention to calcium supplements!" Grandma Li patted Cao Wu on the back affectionately: "Go sit first, I stewed oxtail soup, you can drink two more bowls in a while." ”

"Come on in, it's cold at the door!" Grandma Li's daughter, Qiu Hui, was also at home, holding her youngest son who wanted to run over with one hand, while beckoning the two to come in.

Cao Wu was a little surprised: "The fruits have grown so big?"

He hadn't seen Guoguo, the last time he came to Grandma Li's house, Guoguo hadn't been born yet, and he had only seen this little guy in the album on his mother's mobile phone.

The fruit in the photo didn't even grow teeth, but I didn't expect it to run all over the ground now.

The little guy is very naughty, falling on his mother's hand and trying to break free from himself.

Qiu Hui let go of his hand, and he ran towards Zhang Jiaqian with a stumbling face.

"How close do you think he is to you?"

Zhang Jiaqian spread her hands and said with a smile: "Come on! Godmother hug!"

Who knew that the little guy was halfway through the run, and when he saw Cao Wu, he stumbled around a corner, turned around and ran back.

"Haha!

The little guy made everyone laugh, Qiu Hui picked up Guoguo, and pulled Cao Wu into the living room to sit down.

"It's time to rehearse in the studio next Tuesday, right?" Qiu Hui asked.

She also works in a TV station as a location host for a travel program on the Humanities Channel, which is very popular with the audience.

Zhang Jiaqian nodded and said, "This is the time to be notified, how are you there? Has the host set it?"

"How can there be me?" Qiu Hui said indifferently: "My qualifications are too shallow, and I have taken maternity leave for so long, it is good that I haven't lost my job, how can I still be asked to host the party?"

"Then you can't be idle, you still have to go to the unit. Zhang Jiaqian said.

"Yes! With the nature of our work, the more holidays we have, the busier we become. Qiu Hui smiled: "But it's okay, I can accompany you." Next week, I'll introduce you to a makeup artist and make sure you look great on stage. ”

"Go, go, I don't need to!"

"Phew!

The two chatted, and Cao Wu was bored, so he teased Guoguo on the side.

Guoguo is still relatively bold, although he was more afraid of life when he first saw Cao Wu, but after Cao Wu showed him a few photos of cats on his mobile phone, he stuck to Cao Wu.

Children have little resistance to fluffy things, and after a while, he actually began to discuss with Cao Wu about the sale of "stinky tofu" with a few pieces of candy.

"Come over and eat!" Grandma Li came out with a steamed fish and beckoned everyone to eat.

Grandma Li doesn't like to have someone help when cooking, and cooking is a kind of relaxation and enjoyment for her.

She always prepares all the ingredients and arranges them neatly, and she is also methodical when stir-frying, which can be said to be a model of Virgo.

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door, Xiaowu, you sit. ”

As soon as Cao Wu wanted to open the door, he saw Grandma Li walking quickly to open the door, and Zhang Jiaqian also pulled him and glanced at him.

"Why do you have such a sharp nose? You just came to cook. ”

The person who came was an old man with a voice like a bell, Zhang Jiaqian and Qiu Hui seemed to know him, and they got up and greeted him warmly: "Uncle Meng, come here! Have you eaten? Let's have a light meal together?"

Uncle Meng's voice was a little loud, and when he saw so many people in the room, he laughed loudly: "Yo he! There are guests at home? Then I'll come back another day?"

He said so, but there was no intention of leaving.

"Then I won't send it. Grandma Li pursed her lips and turned around and walked back, but forgot to close the door.

Uncle Meng smiled awkwardly, suddenly touched his trouser pocket exaggeratedly, and said in surprise: "Oops! I seem to have forgotten to bring the key!"

Qiu Hui smiled and got up and pulled him over, and said, "You're welcome, sit down!"

Uncle Meng sat down with a smile and praised non-stop: "Well! It's so fragrant! Lao Li, you have good craftsmanship!"

"Eat yours! I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" Grandma Li said angrily, and put chopsticks and vegetables into his bowl.

Uncle Meng hurriedly put the dish in his mouth, but it seemed that his teeth were not very good, and after chewing for a long time, his cheeks were bulging, and he didn't forget to say vaguely: "Well!

Because of her profession, Grandma Li's taste has been relatively light for so many years. The daily meal is mainly green vegetables and rice, and occasionally the meat is also to buy some white meat such as fish and shrimp.

And this Uncle Meng has a northern accent when he hears it, and he praises the deliciousness of eating this dish without salt and oil, there is definitely a problem here.

Cao Wu saw that this situation was not right, and asked Zhang Jiaqian in a low voice.

Zhang Jiaqian explained in his ear, and Cao Wu finally understood that this was also one of Grandma Li's suitors.

Grandma Li's husband, Mr. Qiu, died of illness more than ten years ago, and she grew up with Qiu Hui alone.

Although she has been introduced to her over the years, she has never had this in mind because of her children and other reasons.

However, after retiring, she joined the city's elderly art troupe, but she hooked the souls of some single old men in the troupe.

Grandma Li was a big beauty when she was young, and coupled with her professional relationship, the whole person revealed an elegant and confident temperament.

When she first entered the Elderly Art Troupe, she had already attracted the attention of the single masters of the troupe, and there were many suitors, and Uncle Meng was the one who pursued the most enthusiastically.

"Xiao Zhang, this is your precious son, he looks so handsome! Sure the special girl likes it, right? No wonder he can write a love song like Xiaohe Shui!"

Uncle Meng joked and said, "But, this version you wrote is a bit high-key, the emotions are a little straightforward, and there is also a suspicion of excessive show-offs." It is best to lower two keys, which will make the emotion more sincere and more natural. ”

Cao Wu was surprised: "Grandpa Meng also understands music?"

"A little understanding, a little understanding!" Uncle Meng stroked his beard proudly, but grabbed a blank slate.

"Xiaowu, don't listen to him bragging, he's a layman. ”

Grandma Li glanced at Uncle Meng and said, "What do you know? This performance is going to be a party, so it must have come directly." And it's the first time Xiao Zhang has been on such a big stage, what's wrong with showing off her skills? You should use all your skills to let everyone remember her, right?

"Yes, yes, you're right. Cao Wu took the chopsticks and put the tofu into the bowl and slammed the rice.
