Chapter 26: Grandma

From the time Lin Chong and the three of them started eating until they left after three o'clock in the afternoon, there were no fewer people coming and going to eat in the farmhouse ecological restaurant, which shows that the business is very hot.

The main reason is that after the first meal and the people who left went out, they went around to promote the taste of the dishes here, and invited friends to taste, judging from today's opening banquet, the business of this restaurant will not be too bad in the future.

When Lin washed away, the back kitchen of Xia Liuli Restaurant reported that the five hundred catties of vegetables were basically consumed, and the small share of green dates and peaches that were given away as a certain amount of consumption was almost gone, and many people invited friends to eat again, just to eat the fruit after the meal.

Xia Liuli couldn't wait to go to Lin Chong's house to buy again, after all, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe it will be more lively at night, and you can't cook without raw materials.

Jiang Song saw Xia Liuli's anxious expression, consciously said goodbye to Lin Chong, and left the restaurant and went home with the Xianzhuang spring water given by Lin Chong and the medicine he asked for from Lin Zhong.

Since he wanted to go back to pull vegetables, Lin Chong was happy to take Xia Liuli's car to pull goods and go back together, and after arriving at the place, Lin Chong took a total of 2,000 catties of various vegetables to Xia Liuli at a price of seven yuan per catty, which was estimated to be enough for her restaurant for a few days, and Xia Liuli was also very happy to transfer 14,000 yuan to Lin Chong on WeChat.

Lin Chong's mother saw Xia Liuli coming over and planned to leave her for dinner, but Xia Liuli was busy with the restaurant, Lin Chong really couldn't stand his mother's enthusiasm, Liu Bailing hadn't explained it clearly before, and now when she saw a girl coming to her, she couldn't wait to stay for dinner.

After sending Xia Liuli away, it was basically getting dark again, Lin Chong went to his grandparents' house to call the two of them over, and then went to the village to call his aunt's family, planning to have a reunion dinner with the whole family, after all, it was a festival, and the atmosphere was still needed.

Early one morning, Lin Chong took Rhubarb Xiaohei to see the land at his grandparents' house, saying that it was his grandparents' house, and now Lin Shan and Wen Hui are basically taking care of it.

The second elder is old, except for a small piece of land left in the yard, he has nothing to grow vegetables to play with, and most of them are handed over to his son Lin Shan to take care of.

According to the consumption rate of the farmer's ecological restaurant, the vegetables in the few plots of land in his own house are definitely not enough, not to mention that there is also a Zhilan Hotel in the city, and Jiang Song, who may come to pull goods on his side at any time, will also need it.

"Big baby, I drank so much wine last night, why don't you have a good rest today, what are you wandering around early in the morning?" Lin Chong had just passed by his grandparents' house when he heard his grandmother greeting him.

"Wang, Wang," Hearing someone greet their master, the two guys, big yellow and little black, hurriedly ran towards the courtyard.

"Grandma, don't you also get up so early to get busy, and the plan of the day is in the morning, I used to live in the city without that condition, but now I have returned to the village, as a young man, I think it is still necessary to get up early to breathe the fresh air in the mountains. ”

Lin Chong hurriedly ran to the yard to help his grandmother clean up the handfuls of cabbage that had just been chopped, this kind of cabbage is also called Northeast cuisine, which is tender and juicy, whether it is used to cook soup or stir-fry, it is particularly delicious.

Seeing this, the two puppies also ran to Lin Chong's side, flicking their tails around the two of them and tearing the cabbage on the ground.

"While playing, I won't give you anything to eat after any more trouble. Lin Chong waved his hand and sent the two little ones away.

"Grandma, I have planted so many cabbages this year, and they all say that you should pay attention to your body when you are older, and do less of these farm work, in case you bump into something, you will be uncomfortable. ”

Grandma Lin Chong is over 70 years old this year, but she has always been in good health, and she can still go to the field to do some farm work every day, and occasionally go up the mountain to find some firewood to come back and burn it, but after all, the old man is old, and the family is still very worried.

"Hey, when you're old, you have to exercise more, otherwise you will stay at home every day, and everyone will be stupid, remember the Uncle Li at the end of the village who took you to see two years ago, he is over ninety years old, isn't he also chopping wood and cooking by himself every day?"

"But it's not easy for him, so old, living alone, still not able to survive last winter, just like that, let me say, when people reach our age, they are counting the time to live, and if they can live for a year, they will earn a year. ”

Lin Chong listened to his grandmother's chatter, and inexplicably felt a sour heart, remembering the days when he followed his grandparents when he was a child, no matter what he caused trouble, as long as he hid behind his grandmother, he would not be beaten.

Especially once during the Chinese New Year, because of naughtiness, he threw the unextinguished wiping cannon in the firewood room, and saw the flames rushing out of the wiping cannon ignite the firewood room, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and finally he was so frightened that he ran directly to the back mountain to hide.

Later, the eldest uncle told him about the situation at that time, and heard that they were eating, and suddenly found that there was smoke behind the firewood house, and after a panic, they began to put out the fire, and everyone in the village rushed over to help, and finally although the fire was successfully extinguished, the firewood house was also burned clean.

extinguished the fire, naturally looking for the person who set the fire, and then he was caught hiding in the mountains, and was beaten hard by his father Lin Shan, and finally his grandmother couldn't stand it and stopped it, so he let his ass survive.

Looking back now, those firewood were collected by my grandmother one by one and slowly piled up in the firewood room, and when I was two or three years old, I especially liked to play in the firewood room, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I owed too much to the old man in front of me.

Lin Chong heard his grandmother sigh at others, and continued: "So every year I will grow some vegetables by myself, clean the house every day, and this cabbage, you can make spicy cabbage if you can't finish it, your father likes to eat it very much, and I will send it to him when the time comes." ”

"I was happy to see him eating happily. When people are old and look away, they don't want their children and grandchildren to be rich and rich, they just want them to live a peaceful life. ”

Lin Chong helped to wash the cabbage, cut it into pieces, spread it in the jar, sprinkle salt on each layer until it was all covered, and then wait two days to take it out and drain the water, put all kinds of sauces and then seal the jar.

After finishing the work, I went in the middle of the morning, but the country meal was still very punctual, and now I don't need to cook by myself, and there is still time for Lin Chong to accompany my grandmother for a while before saying, "Grandma, don't worry, with me, I will definitely keep you healthy all the time." ”

"Grandma has been with your grandfather for most of her life, and she has never seen anything before, people are born in old age, sickness and death, and she has long seen this, but I just hope that one day I won't be able to get up all of a sudden, and it won't be too much of a drag on you. ”

Lin Chong's nose was sour, and he held back his tears and said, "Grandma, you should also drink more of the mineral water I sent to my grandfather every day, it is beneficial, I will send you a little more every day in the future." ”

"That grandma drank every day, your grandfather is good to grandma, this is what the villagers know, no matter what good things have to be shared with me, if you want to do something, go and do it yourself, don't worry about me, now that I'm back, I can come over and accompany us when I have time in the future." ”

Lin Chong talked to his grandmother again before saying, "Okay, grandma, I'll go to your field to have a look, and I'll come back to accompany you when I have time." ”
