Chapter 314: Warmth
Smoked bacon is a very popular delicacy of the locals, characterized by its tender and delicious meat, which is full of cured meat. The color is red and bright and oily, the saltiness is moderate, and the body is dry and clean. Locals are accustomed to stir-frying rabbit meat or making it into a rabbit hot pot with local characteristics, especially in winter, when a family is lively around the hot pot and eats fragrant bacon rabbit meat, the taste is not too beautiful.
But the premise is that there is no pregnant woman Yang Xiaobei. Really! Pregnant women don't want to lose face? Pregnant women have no human rights! Although the rabbit is cute, in Yang Xiaobei's eyes, it tastes the most lovely, isn't it? Because of his greed, he was disgraced by his grandmother, which made Yang Xiaobei and Yi Huifen, who were gloating just now, sympathize with each other. Alas, there is a powerful and super responsible mother (grandmother) who can't afford to hurt!
All in all, after this incident, my grandmother thought that the absence of female elders at home would make the two new mothers very incompetent, so when the Chinese New Year was so busy, she decided to stay for a few days, and asked her face every day to help take care of the baby, take care of pregnant women, and pass on experience. and ordered the two men to study hard and watch carefully. There was no way, there were no elders, so the men in the family had to take care of it.
Yang Xiaobei and her mother were "abused" to death, there were too many rules, and her grandmother was too verbose...... But fortunately, the two of them haven't been stupid yet, knowing that the old lady is for their own good, so she left a big mess at home to help. So what else is there to say? Learn!
Zhou Pinzheng and Yang Qitaike don't have so many grievances (it's not them who ask for it, isn't it?) Honestly follow Grandma Yi to learn the knowledge of raising a baby. On the contrary, they feel that this is a rare opportunity, grandma is right, there are many times when experience is the most valuable, young people always have a time when they are not thoughtful, and then there is an old man who helps to watch, and can always give a lot of pertinent advice.
It wasn't until the Lantern Festival was approaching that this training came to an end. Grandma grinded the glutinous rice flour and made delicious glutinous rice balls for them before going back, at this time Yang Xiaobei was reluctant to give up - my mother's good cooking skills were all inherited from my grandmother, and I ate the dishes carefully cooked by my grandmother for several days, and all the flavors of my childhood were hooked. She always felt that there were still a lot of delicious things to do, and she was reluctant to let her grandmother go......
But no matter how reluctant it is, it's useless, grandma can take time out of her busy schedule to make up her mind. If the head of the Yang family is the grandfather, then the head of the Yi family is the grandmother. My grandfather is a person who doesn't care about things, and my grandmother has to take care of the family inside and out. If it weren't for the eldest daughter-in-law's reliability, and she came back to help during the Chinese New Year, how could she get out? Now the old family is leaving home again, and she can't go back if she doesn't go back.
My grandmother worked hard all her life, and she was just over sixty years old and couldn't afford to get sick. As the saying goes, "thinking hurts the body", my grandmother worked hard all her life, and my grandfather had to eat and drink Lazar with his wife, and he was completely a giant baby. The marriage and future of several children are all worried about by my grandmother alone, and she has exhausted her spirit in this way. The last straw was his uncle's illness, and for his future, he helped him marry with a clear conscience, but the result was unsatisfactory.
Grandma is the kindest person, but for the sake of her own children, she deceived her innocent aunt into the door, and she was already deeply guilty. In addition, the little couple is not in harmony, they quarrel every day, and after the quarrel, they complain about the mother who arranged the marriage. As an uncle with strong self-esteem, maybe he doesn't want to get married, and he can't stand the fear, disgust, and contempt of the person next to him, right? Grandma abandoned the principle of being a man, but in exchange for such complaints, she finally couldn't hold on.
She left too early. Yang Xiaobei was just in the first year of junior high school at that time, and when she was in school, she happily went to her grandmother's house with her schoolbag on her back, and in order to reward her for being admitted to a key junior high school, her grandmother also gave her a red envelope - not much, just 2 yuan. It is the 2 yuan note that has been canceled in later generations, and the green face. It's a lot, at that time, her pocket money for a week was one yuan, specializing in buying snacks to eat, the unit price of snacks in the school commissary was generally 1-2 jiao, and the most expensive was instant noodles, 5 cents a pack.
Grandma also used a glass jar to bottle a large jar of Yang Xiaobei's favorite dried radish, which she dried herself, crispy and spicy for rice, and it would not be bad, it was the best food. At that time, my mother had to take care of my younger brother, and I didn't have so much time to take care of her, so my grandmother, who brought her up since she was a child, took these into account.
After a week of eating at school, Yang Xiaobei held the jar in tears and thought about her grandmother. I believe that as long as you have eaten the school cafeteria, you will have a deep awe of the word cafeteria. You can't imagine that just boiled cabbage can be eaten for a week without changing! The school menu is generally like this, this week it is boiled cabbage, next week boiled winter melon, and next week boiled pumpkin...... It is said that pig food is lifting pigs, and I can't bear to look at it directly.
However, when she came home from the holiday, Yang Xiaobei excitedly hugged the jar and wanted to go to her grandmother's house to wait for it to be filled, only to learn that her grandmother was hospitalized with cerebral congestion.
I only remember coming home from vacation again, and my grandmother couldn't get out of bed at that time, and she was incontinent and very embarrassed. When Yang Xiaobei went to visit her, her grandmother's withered face shone with brilliance, and she told Yang Xiaobei to study hard in her already inarticulate language, and explained to her mother, "Dish! Ribbon dish! ”
Grandma was not at ease, she heard that the food at school was too poor, so she planned to help cook for Yang Xiaobei to take to school, and finally ...... At that time, she was also stupid, she didn't realize that her grandmother was no longer good, maybe consciously, but subconsciously she couldn't believe it. When I came back again, it was already a funeral for my grandmother, and the paper money was sprinkled on the rugged road up the mountain, which was my grandfather's cave, and my grandmother was sleeping on the highest peak, facing the road on the opposite mountain, and my grandmother said, where she slept, she could watch her grandchildren go to school.
Later, my grandfather also went and was buried next to my grandmother. When my brother-in-law went, he was buried behind his parents' graves. They can't rest assured that they will not be able to rest assured for the rest of their lives, so let them protect their uncle forever! Every time I go to the grave during the Qingming Festival and the New Year, I can't help but cry when I see the three tombs that are in good shape, and I will never forget that deep feeling.
Recently, the time of getting along seems to have returned to the time of childhood. Grandma is gentle and strict, she will cook the best dishes, and she will patiently reason with her. Because of long-term hard work, my grandmother's hands were very rough, but when she lay on her grandmother's body and was coquettish, my grandmother touched her back with her rough hands, and that feeling was very warm and made people not want to lose.
Even Yi Huifen, who has a rough nerve, can't look at it, complaining that the old lady hurts Xiaobei or not, is it biological? was scolded by my grandmother, "I have been a shrewd person all my life, how could I give birth to such a rough embryo as you?" I wonder if I'm holding it wrong! ”
In fact, grandma really felt sorry for Yang Xiaobei. A child without a mother is painful, what a good child, when he was a child, he didn't look good and lost it, and when he grew up, he found an in-law and was unreliable, isn't this not without his mother's support? If your daughter is wronged, you have to scratch her face no matter how far you go! It's a pity that she doesn't have this position, so she has to do her best to be better to her "goddaughter".
