Chapter 52: It's Hard to Ride a Tiger

Lin Zien didn't expect him to say this, and he was stunned for a moment before he said "um" with a complacent expression.

"No wonder," Huo Jingchen's deep voice ...... a little more laughter, "Generally speaking, this kind of place is only known to familiar people, like me, even if I was born and raised in Jiangnan, no one can find it." He paused slightly, then half-jokingly, "You don't mean to take me through the labyrinth, do you?"

Lin Zien raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of interest at first, and when he heard what he said at the end, he pursed his mouth, "You really have no limits to your imagination." ”

Huo Jingchen smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and just wanted to say something, Lin Zien had already stopped in front of an inconspicuous small wooden door, the door was ajar, and there was a rag curtain hanging at the door that could not see the color, and a rectangular wooden board was erected next to the door, on which were written "Grandma's house" three crooked big red letters.

Lin Zien lifted the door curtain with one hand, but didn't walk in immediately, just stood at the door and looked at Huo Jingchen, squinting and smiling, "If you want to regret it now...... It's still too late. She meant something.

Huo Jingchen raised his eyes to look at her, "Why should I regret it?" His voice was low and deep, and his words were clear, but there was a special flavor in it, and the tail note was long and long, as if it was in response to her meaning.

Lin Zien was stunned when he heard him say this, remembering the last time Chu Ce stood at the door with a dirty face, no matter how she hinted, she found every excuse not to dare to enter the house, and Huo Jingchen in front of her ...... is much more able to bend and stretch than Chu Ce, and his mind flipped, and he couldn't help but smile at Huo Jingchen.

Walking in, it is a small room, less than twenty square meters, the four walls are mottled gray, there are several old movie posters from the eighties, two eight immortal tables are placed on the left and one right against the wall in the middle, and there are a few shabby low wooden stools without backrests around them, and a small half-person high counter is placed near the door, and there is an old woman who looks more than seventy years old sitting there, although she is dressed plainly, but she is very clean, and when she saw Lin Zien come in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her affectionately, "Oh, it's a girl, why did Nong come here so late for supper?"

"Yes, Grandma. Lin Zien replied with a sweet smile on his face, and walked in familiarly.

"Sit casually, don't let people send so many things over, I don't need so many old women. The old grandmother turned her eyes and saw Huo Jingchen following her, and her old face suddenly smiled into a chrysanthemum, "Ouch, you also brought a friend...... It's a boyfriend, yes, yes, the young man is handsome, and he is worthy of our ......."

Lin Zien didn't expect the Lin family's grandmother to make this association, her face was slightly red, and she hurriedly clarified, "Grandma, it's not what you think, he ......"

"Okay, okay...... Nong said no, no. The old grandmother looked at Huo Jingchen a few more times with deep meaning, and then asked enthusiastically, "It's hard to digest hard at night, let's burn some three strands of gnocchi for you, and if you're not full, add some bean-flavored mochi, okay?"

Lin Zien turned his head to look at Huo Jingchen, and asked in the tone of the old grandmother, "Okay?"

Huo Jingchen smiled good-natured and nodded, "Okay." ”

Lin Zien also smiled at the old grandmother and nodded, "Okay, then it's troublesome grandma." ”

After Huo Jingchen sat down, he took off his coat and put it aside casually, revealing the lilac shirt inside, before he asked again, "Three silk gnocchi and bean-flavored mochi...... Is it a specialty of this store?"

"Of course. Grandma's three-silk gnocchi is different from other places, she uses flour, cornstarch, soup, shredded meat, Ningbo pickles, pumpkin shreds and other ingredients, first stir with flour and cornstarch and water, boil the water in the pot and make it into strips, cool it for later use, and then season the shredded meat, pickles, pumpkin shreds and soup, and finally put it into the dough after making it to eat, as for the bean-flavored mochi...... This is grandma's specialty, which is made of soybeans, glutinous rice flour and black sesame seeds, which looks cute, full of aroma and glutinous and delicious. ”

"Oh, that sounds delicious. Huo Jingchen replied with a smile, his index finger slightly bent on the gray tabletop, and the platinum cufflinks occasionally shone brightly in the pale yellow light.

Lin Zien glanced at him, in fact, Huo Jingchen's willingness to step into this house was far beyond her expectations, and now this calm appearance made her a little surprised-originally thought that Huo Jingchen, a person with a net worth background, would not dare to eat here at all, so she could reject his previous confession on the grounds that the Huo and Lin families had a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, and the door was not right, but now, ...... It seems that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

"You seem to be familiar with this grandmother?" Huo Jingchen interrupted her musings with a question.

Lin Zien knew that with his shrewdness, he wouldn't be able to hide it from him sooner or later, so he didn't want to hide it, "Grandma is my benefactor." ”

Huo Jingchen looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and waited for her next words.

"In the summer when I was eight years old, I sneaked out to play with the people who took care of me, and in front of a pet store, I saw a middle-aged aunt walking in front of me with a little girl, and the little girl suddenly asked me to go with her, saying that she had a cat with pink ears, and I followed her curiously, but ...... When I walked to the mouth of this alley, her mother's expression suddenly changed and said that she had found her father, so she ran away, and I couldn't find my way home, so I was so aimless......"

"Got here?"

Lin Zien nodded, "At that time, grandma's shop was there, she saw that I was crying while walking very pitiful, and took the initiative to stop me, not only made me a delicious meal, but also gave me a little kitten," After a pause, she said, "In the middle of the night, the police brought my parents to pick me up, I was reluctant to grandma, crying and not wanting to leave." ”

Referring to the heart at the top of his chest slowly falling, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "And then?"

"Then ......" Lin Zien didn't know what he thought, his face was not angry, and he said sullenly, "Grandma said that if I want to call her grandma, I will go home first, and she will also take the time to go to my house to see me, and if I don't go home, I won't let her be called grandma." ”

"Oh, that's it. Huo Jingchen listened unsatisfactorily,

The two talked casually a few more words, and saw the old grandmother holding a big red paint tray, trembling slightly out of it, Lin Zien saw it, and was about to step forward to help, who knew that Huo Jingchen's reaction was faster than her, stood up and stepped forward two steps, and took the tray.

The old grandmother happily said to Lin Zien there, "Nannan, this friend of yours is better than the last one named Chu Hece......
