In fact, it was not too early for Chen Anxiu to come in, because Lu Jiangyuan had already suffered a lot before this. The old man is a face-loving person, even if he was extremely angry, he didn't greet him where he could see it on the bright side, Lu Jiangyuan was also stiff, and his brows didn't wrinkle, so at first Chen Anxiu thought that this was the beginning, and he was glad that he woke up in time and let them catch up, but he soon noticed that there was a red mark on the back of his uncle's right hand, which was a finger wide and swollen.
But looking at the two old men sitting on the edge of the kang, one was so angry that he was still trembling, and the other had red eyes, Chen Anxiu could only pretend not to see the embarrassment of the two fathers, reluctantly raised a smile, and put it between the two old men with his arms, "Grandma, grandpa, Mao Mao didn't eat at noon, and now I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?"
The old man felt sorry for the child, the old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, and immediately wanted to get off the kang, "Eggs, meat, milk, all at home, do you want to drink milk powder, I go to the supermarket on the street to buy a bag for him, what do you want to drink?"
Chen Anxiu hurriedly stopped the person, "No, no grandma, I have milk powder or something, I'll rush him later, but he can't just drink milk powder, if there is meat, I'll make him some salted porridge to drink, but the fourth brother and Ton Ton are still asleep over there......"
The old lady understood what he meant, "I know what he said, so go ahead and just leave the imposing here." ”
Chen Anxiu didn't seem to feel the tense atmosphere in this room, and said to him in a brisk tone, "Mao Mao is obedient here, listen to Grandma and Grandpa, Dad will give you milk to drink." ”
Mao Mao raised his head and sighed, and he didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand the Dao, Chen Anxiu thought he understood, raised his feet and left, without saying a word to defend the two fathers.
This made the old man feel a little depressed in his heart, this strong ghost and ghost, he didn't even give him a chance to play on the topic, pretending to be stupid and stunned like a person who had nothing to do, at first glance, he seemed to be on their side, and secretly agreed with his father being beaten, but when he interrupted like this, the breath he gathered in his heart suddenly dispersed, and it was not easy to mention it again.
However, after such a beating, the little bit of anger that has been suppressed in my heart for many years has gone a lot.
Lin Changhe and Lin Changshun were also a little disappointed, the two of them were not good at fighting directly, they expected the old man to teach this Lu Jiangyuan a lesson, this person bullied Changning so badly back then, and Changning was unwilling to come back abroad all these years, and the only time he got married was he left early, if there was no Lu Jiangyuan, Changning's life would be much smoother than now, how can it be like now, he is almost fifty people, and he is still alone. As soon as they thought of this, they hated it so much, and they wanted to beat people up directly several times, at this time, who cares what Lu Jiangyuan's identity is, and how good the impression is when they first met.
However, they also understand that it is not okay to continue to fight if they want to be so strong and strong, Changning is a person who admits death, and most of the things are like this, everyone turns a blind eye, and the more they think about it, the more angry they become.
I didn't know what to say for a while, everyone was silent, the old lady held Mao Mao and patted him on the back, Mao Mao is so small, he doesn't know how to look at the face of adults, he refuses to look left and right honestly, I don't know how Lu Dao fell in the crutches in the old man's hand, climbed to the old man's side, stretched out his hand to grab it and play.
"Risky, this can't be played, grandpa will bring you something else later. "The old man's legs and feet are OK, he usually doesn't use crutches often, he uses them when he gets up at night when he puts them on the side of the kang, this crutches is still the year before when he was hospitalized, the eldest son bought it, hardwood, solid, steady is stable, but it is quite a bit weighty, he can hold it, the child is so big that he must not be able to hold it, he is afraid of hurting himself, handed the crutches out of the court, Lin Changning took it with interest and put it by the window.
When Chen Anxiu went out, he deliberately didn't close the door tightly, leaving a small gap, and when he saw this, he secretly gave a thumbs up and soaked milk with confidence.
The daily necessities are put in a big bag alone, a change of small clothes, milk powder, feeding bottles, and toys, as long as you go out, you have to take them, Chen Anxiu poured warm water, added three spoons of milk powder into it, shook it well, and took it in to give it to Mao.
Mao Mao doesn't need the help of others now, he will drink it with his two fat claws holding the bottle, and he will drink it in a big gulp, with a satisfied little appearance, so that the people who watch it also feel calm.
In the face of such a soft little thing, who can still shout and kill with a hard heart, at least the old man can't do it, he has already pinched a small hand towel on the side and waited for Mao Mao to finish drinking milk, wipe his mouth, "Mao Mao drink slowly, drink slowly, if it's not enough, I'll let your father give you some more punches later." When he turned his head and saw that the two were still standing there upright, he said in a rough voice, "What are you doing standing there, a little light in the room is blocking you." ”
Lin Changning pulled Lu Jiangyuan to the side and sat down on the two chairs placed by the window.
When Chen Anxiu boiled the meat porridge and came over, although no one in the room spoke, the atmosphere was too relaxed, and even the faces of the two uncles were more helpless than angry at this time, this is what it feels like to talk.
"Daddy, take you out of the city to drink porridge. "The risky mission is complete, and it's time to leave with honor.
Mao Mao spread his little arms for him to hold.
"Let's go, sit tight. Chen Anxiu raised his hand and put him on his shoulder, and carried him out with the bottle.
"Haha......" sat on his father's shoulder, happily swaying his two little short legs back and forth.
Zhang Shinian and Ton Ton will also wake up, Chen Anxiu boiled a lot of meat porridge, and gave Ton Ton also a bowl, for fear of affecting the conversation of the people in the house, their family simply ran to the shade at the door to drink porridge, this will be a little big sun, but the sea breeze is gentle, and it will not be too hot.
Sitting at the door, you can see the sea in the south, there are no people on the beach, there are a lot of seabirds, and there are flocks on the beach, and there are flocks of people wandering low on the sea, Zhang Shinian is feeding the steaming, Chen Anxiu also felt a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen and cut two steamed bread slices, with some hot sauce in the middle. This hot sauce is ground with fried peanuts and sesame seeds and fresh red peppers, the sauce is not very delicate, and you can see the crushed peanuts, and things that are too fine are easy to lose their original fragrance, so it is just right.
"Dad, what are the little uncles and grandpa Lu talking about in the house, why haven't they come out yet?" After drinking the porridge, he climbed onto Chen Anxiu's recliner and squeezed it with him.
Chen Anxiu squinted in the sunlight under the poplar leaves, "Well, I should have started talking about it a long time ago." ”
"How long ago?"
"Before Daddy was born. ”
"That's been a long time. ”
About an hour later, Lin Changhe and Lin Changhe came out of the house back and forth, their faces were not good-looking, Chen Anxiu stood up from the rocking chair, "Uncle, second uncle." ”
Lin Changhe buttoned up his short-sleeved shirt, looked at Chen Anxiu, and then looked at the two children, and didn't say anything serious, "If you have nothing to do, you will stay on the island for two more days, and someone else gave me a few salmon a few days ago, and I will bring two back to your parents to taste." I still have to go back beforehand, and I've been busy going to sea lately. ”
"Okay, I know what happened, uncle, you go and get busy. ”
Lin Changhe shook his head, didn't say anything, and went north along the alley, Lin Changshun's home was next door, and he was not in a hurry to go back. "Not a word about Lu Jiangyuan and Lin Changning.
Chen Anxiu also followed him and said, "Jin Jin is only in the sixth grade, and it is never too late to work hard in junior high school." ”
"It's not a matter of elementary school and junior high school, tons of tons have been worry-free since childhood, when your sister-in-law fed the two of them, tons of tons were very well-behaved, Jin Jin's girl didn't cry eight times a day, it didn't count as a day......"
Chen Anxiu accompanied him for a long time, until the farm called, Lin Changshun did not leave, when he left, his face finally improved, and told Chen Anxiu that if they did not leave at night, they would go to the house for dinner.
Chen Anxiu saw that his eldest uncle and second uncle were gone, and under the pretext of going back to the house to get water for the others, he went back to the house, the door was ajar, and the conversation inside continued.
"I can't count the things before, I won't say more, I just ask you, you have become a strong child for so many years, and there is no one to do?" This was asked by the old man, how did he think that Lu Jiangyuan was not like no one around him, he had money in his hands, and he was not bad-looking.
"After separating from Changning, I didn't have any thoughts of starting a family these years, I was busy with the company's affairs, and when I came back to my senses, I was at this age, and I didn't have this heart, if I didn't find Changning and Zhuang Zhuang this time, I just planned to live alone. ”
"You haven't been married for so many years?" This sudden news surprised the old man, and his son was married once.
"The main thing is that I didn't meet a satisfactory person, and I barely got together, for fear of delaying others. ”
The old man was a little embarrassed, "Thirty years, this is the small half of a person's life, don't you worry about Changning not looking back?"
"Wait and wait and get used to it. ”
"You're a dead kid. "This is quite a match for Changning.
Chen Anxiu felt that there was a door when he heard this, and he carried a big water cup and went out lightly.
Originally, in a new environment, it was easy to get excited, and this would be full of food and drink, and even more energetic, looking east and west on the street, and seeing everything was interested.
There is no sign of stopping the conversation for the time being, and they can't sit at the door for an afternoon, they may be infected with the excitement of the bubbling up, Chen Anxiu said, "It's not going to be very hot, let's go out for a walk, and go to the east to pick some pengzi vegetables by the way." ”
Ton Ton jumped up and said, "I know Pengzi Cai, Dad, I'll go get the basket." ”
There is a large piece of saline-alkali land in the east of Linjia Island, crops can not be planted in the saline-alkali land, here is full of all kinds of wild grasses and low trees, there are many water birds that inhabit it, Pengzi cabbage also has a name for sea Pengcai and yellow green cabbage, it is a kind of wild vegetable that only grows in the saline-alkali land by the sea, the leaves and pine needles are a bit similar, they are all long needle-shaped, but they are much thicker than pine needles, Pengzi cabbage is green in spring and summer, and it becomes red in late autumn, connected into a large piece, the same as the flame.
There are a lot of Pengzi vegetables in the saline-alkali land, so you don't have to look hard to find them.
"Dad, is it just that point?"
"Well, the dark color underneath is too old and not delicious. ”
Pengzi vegetables only pinch the most tender part of the leaf tips, go back to take hot water and blanch, make dumpling filling, cold salad or make steamed vegetables are very good, Pengzi vegetables themselves carry salt, and you don't even need to put salt when cooking.
He was on the beach not far away, with his hands wide open, his two short legs alternately pulling, and he staggered behind a long-legged seabird, which probably disliked his turtle speed, and didn't hide at all, and could shake him off a lot of his feet. The sand here is very fine, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt if you fall.
Zhang Shinian was carrying shoes in his hand, and followed barefoot not far behind him, he didn't come to the door today, and he was dressed casually, the sea breeze raised the hem of his white shirt, revealing a thin waist underneath, this scene looked really pleasing to the eye, Chen Anxiu looked back at them, and he grinned first. The big one is mine, the small one is mine.
"Tons, don't go over there, the grass is too deep over there, and this side is enough. "This one is mine too.
The weather is still hot in September, so it is customary to say summer, but in fact, it is now the beginning of autumn, and the autumn sun always has a very special warmth close to transparent.
Picking wild vegetables doesn't take much time, you can pick a big basket in half an hour, Chen Anxiu poured tons of baskets into himself, and he didn't know what he thought, and when he saw that there was an empty basket, he climbed in and sat down, Chen Anxiu guessed that he was tired from running for a long time just now. Tons tied a rope to the basket bar and dragged him along the beach. It will be almost five o'clock, and the sea water has risen a lot, Chen Anxiu also took off his shoes, Zhang Shinian helped him carry it, and the warm sea water suddenly overflowed the surface of his feet, and it felt soft. Occasionally step on a hard thing under the soles of your feet, mostly clams, there are a lot of clams on the island, when the tide is low, bring a small bucket over, pick it up casually, it is enough to eat, but the older generation on the island is not very interested in this, and the young people are better.
Chen Anxiu heard his mother say that in the past, when life was bad and there was no food to eat, other places relied on digging wild vegetables, and the people on the island went to pick clams, eat every day, eat every meal, and finally ate enough.
In addition, you can also find razor clams, small crabs, and sea red in the cracks of the rocks, but this is not the right time, coming in the evening or in the morning.
"Do you think grandpa can let go this time?"
Zhang Shinian said conservatively, "It should be somewhat loose." "Lu Jiang is far from being able to do this.
Chen Anxiu is more optimistic, "They are old, and it is not easy to twist the strength, but how Dad has spent all these years, they know in their hearts, so they will not be too embarrassed." ”
There was nothing wrong with going back home, they went to the street for a walk, Chen Anxiu looked at the faces of the two uncles when they came out, and estimated that the possibility of their aunts coming to cook tonight was less than zero, and they were still mentally prepared for self-sufficiency.
Linjia Island is so big, all kinds of shops and markets are concentrated on those two streets, when passing by the pharmacy, Chen Anxiu went in and bought two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao spray, the island market is still mostly seafood, raw and cooked, but today the two fathers were injured, seafood can not eat more, he bought two catties of fresh small pipe fish, and also bought a roast duck, the rest are green vegetables and tofu.
Chen Anxiu grew up here since he was a child, and many people know him, and everyone has heard about Zhang Shinian who follows him, but their acceptance seems to be a little higher, and there are not too many unusual eyes when they see them together.
