Chapter 17: Eating Meat
The father and daughter walked back with a big bag of things, Meng Meng stared at the big black eyes, looking at the snacks in the bag, full of desire, looking at the daughter's greedy appearance, the fat man smiled slightly, but his heart was inevitably a little sour, other people's children basically want to eat something, adults will buy something, for fear that the child will eat less, but their own cuteness, want to eat some snacks is not so easy.
Gently patting her daughter's mushroom head, she said with a noble face full of doting: "Meng Meng, when we go home, I'll give you snacks to eat after eating, you can't eat it on the road, you will have a stomachache if you eat it." ”
Mengmeng nodded reluctantly when she heard this, but her little eyes never left the snack bag, this big bag of snacks, for her, it was like the New Year, it was really rare and rich.
The father and daughter hurried home, and when they were about to reach the entrance of the alley, several young people in their twenties walked up, playing and making trouble while walking.
One of the young men, who was a little fat, waved his hand and said boldly: "Let's go, big health care, I'm in for a treat." ”
A young man next to him said with a look of contempt: "Just like you, it's still a big health care, you can go to it in a few minutes and be solved by others, and now people have given you a nickname in the foot bath city, called '3 seconds man'." ”
"Hahaha. A few of his companions laughed happily.
Mengmeng watched a few people walk away, turned her head and asked Gao Shang: "Dad, what is a '3-second man'?"
Gao Shang's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Why do children ask so much, that's a bad word, can't you say it in the future?"
Mengmeng nodded, looked at the fat man who was far away, and then looked at Dad, is the fat man a '3-second man'? That's why Dad didn't let him say.
When the two returned home, they were naturally reprimanded by the old lady, but both of them were very thick-skinned, and the hippie smiling ones didn't care, anyway, they bought them back, so they couldn't go back.
However, the two obviously underestimated the wisdom of the old man, although they couldn't go back, but they could control the distribution, such a lot, if you save some food, you can eat for a long time, so, under the tearful gaze of Meng Meng, grandma still ruthlessly put the snacks in the cabinet at a high place.
Seeing the snacks in his hand flying, Meng sad tears were about to fall out, looking at the snack cabinet and then at Dad.
When Gao Shang saw his daughter's eyes, he was naturally distressed, so he took advantage of his mother's inattention, secretly took out a few, stuffed them in his daughter's hand, and whispered: "Don't let grandma see it, hide it secretly." ”
Xiao Mengmeng finally broke into tears and laughed, took the snacks to the house, and hid them. Grandpa Gao Zhiguo on the side saw everything clearly, just smiled and didn't speak.
After half an hour, grandma finally finished the meal, a large pot of pork stewed beans was served on the table fragrantly, and the family began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for lunch.
Xiao Mengmeng looked at the pork in the basin, smelling the fragrance and her eyes lit up, although there is occasionally meat to eat in the kindergarten, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect how much meat a charity kindergarten can have, as for at home, there is not much meat to see.
So for her dad to come home, Meng Meng is very much looking forward to it, because every time her dad comes back, he always brings back some of her favorite things and snacks.
"Dad, I want to eat, I want to eat meat. Xiao Meng jumped up in a hurry, holding her father's hand and shaking it all the time.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. As he spoke, the fat man picked up a piece of meat, put it in a bowl and blew it, and tore it into small pieces before handing it to his daughter.
Meng Meng picked up a small spoon, put a piece in her mouth, and immediately smiled with satisfaction, noble watched her daughter eat happily, although he also wanted to eat meat, but he still gave his daughter meat first, and then tore it into small pieces to blow it cold, and then gave it to her, until she got a small half bowl, enough for her to eat, and then began to eat by herself.
The family chatted while eating, and the mother Zhao Xiangyun instructed the fat man and said: "Don't buy big bones next time you come back, that thing is not cheaper than meat, and less than half of what can be eaten, it's too wasteful, let's just buy some meat to satisfy our hunger." ”
The fat man smiled and said, "That one was not bought, it was given by Brother Zhang, who sells meat." ”
"Is that our fellow?" asked Gao Zhiguo on the side.
The fat man nodded: "Yes." ”
Gao Zhiguo thought for a while and said: "We have received a lot of favors from others, and we have nothing to repay others. ”
Gao Shang thought about it, nodded and responded, although mushrooms are not precious things, but they are wild, and they can be handled.
"By the way, how long does it take for your house to expire? Come back and live when it expires, the child's mother hasn't come to see her for half a year, and you, the father, are not around, and you are about to become a left-behind child. Looking at the little granddaughter who was eating with a mouth full of oil, Gao Zhiguo said distressedly.
Gao Shang looked at his daughter, nodded and said, "It's due in a few months, and I'll move back after the expiration, so I can save money for heating in winter." ”
Zhao Xiangyun on the side did not agree with Gao Shang to move back to live, put down the chopsticks and said: "I think it's better to live over there, not to mention the convenience of work, there are more young people over there, and it is convenient to deal with an object or something in the future. ”
When the fat man heard this, he smiled bitterly, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, anyway, there are still a few months, let's talk about it then." ”
"Dad, are you going to marry a daughter-in-law?" Mengmeng on the side suddenly asked.
The fat man glanced at his daughter and said, "You can eat your food." ”
After the family finished eating, Gao Shang cleaned up the table, coaxed his daughter to take a nap, picked up a broom and a mop and went out.
Came to a community not far away, walked to the door of the water pipe well on the first floor, opened the well door, took out the bucket inside, and began to release water.
There are 100 buildings in this community, and the noble mother Zhao Xiangyun is cleaning the corridors in this community, responsible for No. 99 and No. 100, both of which have 16 floors. Cleaning one building a day, responsible for cleaning the corridors, elevators and common areas in front of each house.
Although this work is not tiring, it is not easy for the elderly, and the fat man will have to go back to work in a while, so he has to hurry up and clean up, so that he can help his mother share the day's work. Don't worry about it tomorrow, just clean it the day after tomorrow.
Put water, sweep the floor and wipe the floor, busy for a while on a hot day, the fat man got a man, at one o'clock in the afternoon, finally cleaned up, packed up and went home, looked at the daughter who was still sleeping, gently kissed the little face, and left the house with a reluctant face.
