Chapter 147: The Only Dream
Witnessing Li Yuanbao's love journey, One Piece couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Big brother, I think they have the most flowery intestines in their studies, will they have any hearts,"
One Piece looked at the navy's face that immediately turned black, and hurriedly said: "Hehe! Fan Xin is not that kind of person, I'm afraid that there will be people in their school who will beat Fan Xin's idea?"
The navy remembered that Professor Lin's eldest disciple, Yao Hongwei, that kid was really unreliable......
No, he had to hurry up and remind all his heart! Be careful, and resolutely not let anyone with bad intentions approach!
And Gu Fanxin is now helping out with Senior Hong Tao and Hong in the nursing home!
In the spring, Gu Fanxin found that the old people had planted some flowers and some bonsai in the nursing home.
Gu Fanxin helped clean up, chatting with the old people while busy cleaning.
It turned out that the flower beds in the yard were built by several elderly people. Some of the flowers were bought from seeds, and some were bought by the old people with money.
Gu Fanxin looked at the newly renovated flower garden. Red bricks are built more than a foot high around the courtyard wall, and all kinds of flowers are blooming inside.
The little star happily danced its own dance among the flowers.
In the flower beds there are wild roses, azaleas, melon leaf chrysanthemums, tea trees and a bunch of red.
I heard that the bonsai was made by Grandpa Du.
Inside one pot is a leafy pomegranate tree, and inside the other is an orange tree. The leaves of the orange tree smell very good, and there is a fresh smell of oranges.
There are actually fish in a big water tank in the middle of the yard! Gu Fanxin stretched out his head to take a look, and saw a few grass carp swimming leisurely in it.
It turned out that Grandpa Du went to fish it back. (^_^)
The most striking thing in the flower garden is the moon flowers, some are still flower bones, some are full as if they are about to burst, and some have pink smiling faces, and when you walk to it, there will be a burst of fragrance to your nose.
The little bees are busy collecting nectar and dancing among the flowers and trees; He couldn't stop making a buzzing sound, and excitedly turned his head and said, "It's so fragrant! We've got another good thing to eat this year!"
Gu Fanxin couldn't help but smile at each other with the little star.
After cleaning, although Hong Tao and the two felt a little tired physically, they had a sense of accomplishment in their hearts to help others.
Seeing that Gu Fanxin had finished cleaning, Grandma Shenyang asked Gu Fanxin to wash her hands, and then helped her take out her collection of snacks and fruits.
These good things are usually reluctant to be eaten, so she deliberately saved them and kept them until this girl came.
Waiting for Grandma Shenyang to open the oiled paper bag, revealing the bread inside. She picked one up and handed it to Gu Fanxin, with a kind smile on her face: "Child, eat! Don't be polite to grandma!"
Gu Fanxin saw that there were already a few small mildew spots on the two breads, but the old grandmother couldn't see it with her old eyes!
"Grandma Shenyang, this bread is no longer edible, it is already moldy!" Seeing Gu Fan take the bread with a good temper, the anxious Hong Tao couldn't help but stop it.
"Huh?" Shenyang's grandmother said in surprise, "Oh, yes, show it to me!"
She picked up the bread and approached it, her eyes widened, and after a closer look, she finally found a spot of mildew on it.
She wondered, "It's only been a few days, why is it moldy?"
"Grandma Shenyang, now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you are storing it in the cabinet again, and the cabinet is not airtight, won't it become moldy when you cover the heat?" Gu Fanxin couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I know!" Grandma Shenyang suddenly sighed and relaxed, "It's okay, it's just a few small mold spots, it's not serious, you can eat it." ”
"Well, you can still eat it!" Gu Fanxin also smiled and said.
Hong Tao looked at the moldy bread in disbelief. solemnly reminded her: "Fanxin, grandma, this will eat bad stomach!"
"Thank you, senior, but we don't eat it now, we can eat it after we put it in the steamer basket later!"
Gu Fanxin said very experienced.
"That's right! That's how it's handled!" Grandma Shenyang smiled with joy and cracked her toothless mouth, this child will live a good life!
Several old people next to him frequently bowed their heads in approval.
"But... Can this be eaten?"
Hong Tao, who was born in a family and had never been hungry, was indeed unimaginable, and he looked at Gu Fanxin suspiciously: How can moldy bread be eaten?
"Hehe!" the old men laughed good-naturedly.
"Oh, young man, you don't know this, do you? The beans and tofu we eat are all moldy and then fermented like this! We usually put away what we can't eat enough to store in this way, 'Careful planning is enough for half a year, and we will not be in trouble in a famine year.' ’”
"There is storage every year, and there are no people in famine years. ”
"A porridge and a meal, when thinking about where it comes from, it is not easy; Grandpa Du said with a glance.
Gu Fanxin couldn't help but glance at Grandpa Du, this old man seemed to be quite educated.
"We've all been here for 60 years, and we haven't eaten anything?" said a skinny old woman with a smile and disapproval.
"Yes, our older generation has eaten 'Guanyin soil' before!" another old man also took over.
Gu Fanxin also heard her grandmother talk about the past 60 years.
It's good to gnaw on the bark of the tree and eat the chaff vegetables, but the saddest thing is to eat the 'Guanyin soil'. That's a great sin!
Grandma said that a teenage child in the neighbor's house, when he was half the size of the child, was really hungry and ate Guanyin soil, but he couldn't relieve his hand, and his stomach was swollen and uncomfortable.
There was no way, so his father gave him a little bit of his hand to pick out, and his fingers couldn't pick it, so he used chopsticks to pull it out, and the child was crying wolf in pain when he lay on the stone.
That's miserable!
Hong Tao next to him also widened his eyes.
"Guanyin soil" is also called "kaolin" and "white clay".
It contains ingredients such as gypsum powder, stone powder, etc., which can be used to make handicrafts such as mud whistles, jugs, and are said to treat traumatic injuries (I don't know if it's true or not).
When there is a famine, the hungry people also use it to satisfy their hunger.
After eating too much, it can cause stomach sagging, bloating, edema, and in the famine years, because of eating Guanyin soil, the abdomen is bloated like a drum and cannot defecate, and it can suffocate people alive......
He looked at the experienced girl in front of him again, as if he was used to eating these things... It's hard to imagine what life she used to have.
Could it be that she used to have three meals without enough food and not enough to eat, and only then did she develop the virtue of frugality now?
Gu Fanxin went to wash his hands again, and prepared to make dumplings for the old people. Hong Tao volunteered to chop the vegetable stuffing.
After a while, a curtain of celery lean meat dumplings came out.
After cooking the dumplings, seeing Gu Fanxin feeding the Shenyang grandmother with impaired mobility to eat dumplings, Shenyang's grandmother's satisfied and comfortable appearance, several people were envious, jealous and hateful!
They all thought in their hearts, this girl would be if only she were their granddaughter!
In this work-study activity, this girl experienced the loneliness and inconvenience of their elderly with herself, and seriously helped them to do housework, not afraid of hardship, tiredness, and dirty, and had a strong love for their elderly, and truly fulfilled "filial piety".
This is the only dream in their hearts, and this only dream is now so close and so far away from them, although here they eat and drink are done, and they don't have to worry about life, but they still have shortcomings.
Because they have been together for many years, they can't be more familiar with each other, which makes them less like to talk to their peers more.
Because of their age, they are afraid that others will hate and dislike them, and they also hope that there will be such young, sensible and filial juniors to accompany them and chat......
