Chapter 242: Home-Cooked Meal
Lin Yu tried to persuade the old man to stay in Yangcheng and continue to look for her son in other ways, such as asking the commander of the People's Liberation Army Academy that if he was assigned to the army as soon as he graduated, he should be able to find her son's location.
But the old man shook his head insistently, "Don't look for it, don't look for it, child, thank you for being with me these days, I should go back too, Xiaohua is still waiting for me to feed it at home." ”
Xiaohua is the flower cat raised by the old man, and now it has become an excuse for the old man to go home early. But according to Lin Yu's observation, Xiaohua should be in a semi-free-range state, when the old man is sick, Xiaohua can catch mice and sparrows from the outside by herself, so it makes no difference to Xiaohua whether she goes back or not.
What is there to hide from the old man, Lin Yu returned to the dormitory with this question, and he found that the old man was not mindless as everyone thought, so he was so easily deceived, and insisted on not reporting to the police after being deceived. In fact, the old man knows a lot of things, she has a good taste, can read, and can use an old-fashioned camera to take pictures, even coming to Yangcheng seems to have been planned by the old man, her purpose is not to find her son, but to take pictures of the place where her son once studied and lived.
Now that the old man's purpose had been achieved, she insisted on going back, because she had never thought of taking the initiative to find her son. Thinking of this, the mystery in Lin Yu's heart was even greater, originally as the god of death, he could end the task he carried out, send the man to the soul realm, and the old man returned to the place where he lived, and everything could be over. But once involved, Lin Yu found that it was difficult for him to get out of the way, and he also wanted to know what the secret that the old man was hiding.
Lin Yu sent a message to Xu Feihang, he decided to continue skipping class, and the school affairs were handed over to Xu Feihang to help him handle it first. Xu Feihang felt that it was an honor to help the Grim Reaper do such a thing, and he told Lin Yu that the teacher had called him twice in today's class, but he used ingenious methods to help Lin Yu fool it over, and even helped him copy his homework again, and everything was perfectly solved.
Since this is the case, Lin Yu can complete his task with confidence, and early the next morning, he still appeared in front of the hotel where the old man lived.
"Child, didn't you say you don't need to send me?" Although he said this, the old man who opened the door was still full of surprise, "I'm afraid that your study will be delayed." ”
Lin Yu helped the old man pick up the backpack on the ground, smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already taken a leave of absence, and I don't have any classes now anyway." ”
The old man left the room and followed Lin Yu to the Yangcheng Railway Station by subway. Of course, the old man was still glad that someone accompanied her home, at least she saved herself a lot of trouble, for example, she still didn't understand how the automatic ticket machine in that subway station operated, and there were people to talk to along the way.
They still took the high-speed train back, and the old man's demeanor was very relaxed along the way, and he kept praising that the country is getting stronger and stronger now, and everything used to rely on imports, and even matches were called foreign fires in her time, because they were made by foreign devils. Now that the country has its own high-speed rail, large aircraft, and aircraft carriers, the Chinese nation is rising rapidly.
When the old man said these words, there was an unconcealable look of excitement in his eyes, this feeling was not much different from the eyes of those soldiers when they shouted to serve the motherland, Lin Yu was a little touched in his heart after seeing it. The old man next to her is really unusual, she has a big mind, and at such an age, she is still looking forward to the rise of the Chinese nation.
Towards noon, the two returned to the old man's residence, and the old man bought some vegetables, pork ribs and a live fish at the vegetable market in the alley. In fact, it is a vegetable market, but it is just a street where all the vegetables are placed on the ground, but fortunately, the form is simple but the variety is rich, all kinds of vegetables look fresh, and the crucian carp is alive and kicking in a bag.
"Grandma made you a delicious meal today," the old man put the ingredients he bought in the kitchen, washed his hands and began to prepare for cooking.
Of course, it is good to be able to eat a home-cooked meal, and the old man should also want to make up for the care he has taken care of her these days, but her cold is just right, Lin Yu doesn't want the old man to be too tired from cooking, so he helps the old man in the kitchen, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, etc.
An old man and a young man are busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner, they look very much like grandparents and grandchildren, the bright sun shines like gold on the kitchen windowsill, and their side faces are dyed with a warm halo, reflecting the faint smiles on the corners of the two people's mouths.
Xiaohua found that the owner seemed to be back, and it quickly ran into the kitchen to join in the fun, and when it saw the familiar figure of the old man, Xiaohua screamed excitedly, and couldn't wait to get into the old man's feet.
Xiaohua tilted her chubby head and began to rub around the old man's calf, and the old man also showed a loving smile on his face, and she said softly, "Xiaohua, do you miss me? Grandma has been out for two days, and she won't leave you alone." ”
Xiaohua seemed to understand what the old man said, it raised its head and opened a pair of big and round eyes, and made a meow at the old man, and its expression was no different from that of a child.
The old man was adored by Xiaohua's cute appearance, she cut off a piece of meat from the pork ribs she bought, and gently placed it in front of Xiaohua, "Let's eat a little to relieve your cravings first, you can't eat too much raw meat, you will grow parasites, and then call you to eat when grandma cooks the meal." ”
Xiaohua picked up the meat on the ground and walked out of the kitchen with very haughty steps, as if announcing to the world that she had caught a terrible rat king.
Lin Yu and the old man were both amused by Xiaohua, and the old man asked Lin Yu who usually cooks at home while pouring the washed pork ribs into various spices for marinating. Lin Yu told her that most of it is made by her mother now, but when her grandmother was in good health before, there were also a few good dishes that Lin Yu liked very much, such as the sweet and sour pork ribs that the old man was cooking...
In the joyful atmosphere, time passed in a flash, and several prepared dishes were brought to the table by Lin Yu one by one, among which the dark red sweet and sour pork ribs and fragrant braised fish made Lin Yu almost drool when he saw it.
The old man filled a bowl of rice and put it in front of Lin Yu, "Child, eat quickly, how about tasting grandma's craftsmanship." ”
