Chapter 2: A Café (Overhaul)

Ye Xiaohua cleaned up and fed the yard poultry with her hands and feet, Ye Xiaohua hadn't done these farm jobs for a long time, but after being framed by Yu Wanxi, Ye Xiaohua had done all the hard and tiring work in order to support herself in the days when she left the Yu family.

Ye Xiaohua is not beautiful, it can even be said that she is very ugly, with a square face, a little wide forehead, the only good eyes, double eyelids are a little drooping, the nose is a little collapsed, and the lower lip is especially thick, which makes people feel always a little unhappy, the skin is dark, due to her young age, the face is still clean, there are no pimples and freckles, but unfortunately there is a birthmark at her right eyebrow bone that extends to three centimeters below the corner of the eye, and the whole birthmark is blue-black, which is not particularly ugly, but the little by little bumpy things like moles in the birthmark make people feel disgusting。 This is also the reason why Ye Xiaohua is afraid of leaving the Yu family, or the reason why she is reduced to only doing the job of washing dishes and cleaning the toilet after leaving the Yu family. Or, the final death seemed to Ye Xiaohua at that time to be a relief!

Xiaohua cleaned the house inside and out, the kitchen was aside, and looked at the sky, it was already cloudy, it seems that there is rain today, but the weather in summer is strange, and the rain looks like it will not fall for a while. Ye Xiaohua looked at the entrance of the village, but still didn't see her grandfather. Ye Xiaohua knew that her grandfather was probably planning to finish her work again! Xiaohua decided to send food and an umbrella to her grandfather.

Xiaohua opened the rice bowl, and there were some cornmeal and sorghum flour in it, as well as about ten catties of rice. It's been eighty-three years, and although people's lives are not good, they are still good compared to before. At least it's no problem to be full, the Ye family's grandfather is capable and in good health, which is recognized by Nanwu Village, and there are good days, but there are not many people who can eat rice like Ye Xiaohua's family. The grandfather of the Ye family was literate, and when he was busy with farming, he went to the town to help. So Ye Xiaohua's family is considered to be well-off in the village.

Xiaohua also found cabbage and potatoes in the kitchen. She's going to make a good meal for her grandfather. In the Northeast of '83, the bellows and cauldron were still used, and Xiaohua didn't think she could lift the cauldron, so she just planned to use a shovel to shovel out the cauldron and remember the water. Xiaohua planned to cook the rice first, and when she opened the lid of the pot, Xiaohua saw the rice porridge and eggs that were hot in the pot, and felt hot in her heart.

Yes, Xiaohua still doesn't know how to cook, how can grandpa not leave food for Xiaohua if he doesn't come back at noon? It was almost noon, and Xiaohua decided not to eat it! I was going to make a stir-fried cabbage and hot and sour shredded potatoes, and then steam some rice. Now there is porridge and eggs. Then make two potstickers and stir-fry garlic cabbage!

Xiaohua quickly made noodles with hot water, then cleaned the cabbage and shredded it, finally used the bellows to make a fire, dug a spoonful of lard from the jar, the pot was hot, put the kneading agent down and flattened, and wait for the pie crust to become slightly browned, turn it over, and get out of the pot. Put the minced garlic directly, then put a small spoon of lard, pour down the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage changes color and add salt to the pan!

Put the cakes, porridge, eggs, and cabbage into the basket, cover it with a white cloth, and it was almost dark! Worried that grandpa would be in the rain, Xiaohua quickly took the umbrella and basket and decided to go out quickly, if the rain was too heavy. Or you can find a cave to avoid first. It's not good to let grandpa get drenched in the rain any later.

Sure enough, it started to rain halfway through Xiaohua, Xiaohua walked briskly, most of the Ye family's land was in one place, Xiaohua knew that her grandfather should be over there! Now the rain is not very heavy, you have to hurry over. If the rain is heavy, grandpa goes to the cave to take shelter from the rain, even if the little flower is called, it is estimated that grandpa will not be able to hear it. Xiaohua carefully guarded the basket and walked towards the entrance of the village.

"Grandpa, grandpa—" arrived at the ridge. Sure enough, I didn't see the shadow of my grandfather. When I poured, I saw the field that was halfway overturned. A few caves nearby, it was troublesome to find them one by one, and Xiaohua simply screamed. I believe that grandpa should be able to hear.

"Little flower, this way. Grandpa is here?" Grandpa Ye, who vaguely seemed to hear his baby's voice, poked his head out of the cave and greeted Xiaohua.

The rain was too strong to see people clearly, Xiaohua looked towards the source of the sound, and saw the figure standing in the cave holding his hands high and shaking, and knew that it was his grandfather, and hurriedly walked over.

"Grandpa. ”

"You kid, what are you doing when you come out on a rainy day? Grandpa will go back later!" Grandpa Ye looked at Xiaohua, whose trouser leg was already half wet, and blamed while chattering, although he didn't know why, he still hurriedly took the basket from Xiaohua's hand.

"It's okay! I'm fine! Grandpa, I'll bring you food! Grandpa must be hungry!" Xiaohua pushed Grandpa's hand away as she prepared to take out the food, "Grandpa, wipe it." While handing the wool collar that had been prepared in the basket to Grandpa.

"You kid. Old Mo, why don't you eat some together? Looking at Ye Xiaohua's indifferent appearance, Grandpa Ye always felt as if something was different! Although he didn't know when his baby would be able to cook, he just reassured himself and didn't ask too much.

"Uh! Hello Grandpa Mo!" Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, because of the location, she didn't find out that there was another person in the corner of the cave at the first time.

Mo Guozheng: If it weren't for the grandfather who called Lao Mo, Xiaohua would have forgotten about this person. In Xiaohua's childhood, Mo Guozheng has always been a special word. Maybe it's the worship of heroes by the weak, which is amplified more and more because they don't know anything. When she was a child, Xiaohua always felt that Grandpa Mo must be the kind of outsider in the black box who defeated the bad guys and saved the world. A small thatched house, a big tree, a small broken table and chairs, although the small thatched house has become a rare red brick house in the village, and there are also big trees, as for the small broken tables and chairs, this is unknown! Because the high courtyard wall encloses the mysterious and unknown puzzles inside. When she was being bullied, Xiaohua was always looking forward to Grandpa Mo in the village suddenly appearing and repelling all the bullies like Ultraman fighting a little monster. It's not that Xiaohua likes Grandpa Mo much, it's just that Grandpa Mo is the only person Xiaohua feels very safe except for her grandfather. Xiaohua is ugly, and the children in the village love to bully her. The little flower with low self-esteem and loneliness is also unpleasant in the eyes of the villagers. It's even a little weird, except for grandpa, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu (who likes her because of her grandfather's relationship) and Grandpa Mo, and grandpa is at most the relationship between grandpa and grandpa is a person from the village, but every time Xiaohua meets his eyes, he doesn't see those special emotions, although it is not cordial, but the smile on his lips, peace is to make people feel comfortable. Although after the passage of time, Xiaohua can't remember it anymore when no one mentions it! Grandpa Mo lives in the west of the village, and people from outside the village are said to have come to the village one day to buy a house and live like that. In Xiaohua's opinion, he is a very mysterious old man, and he usually doesn't interact with people much. The people in the village were very curious about him. But no one in the village knew what he was doing. Usually it's just like grandpa, but as for why he's here now, it's probably because he's trapped in the rain like grandpa! Otherwise, there is very little intersection between the two.

"Nope. Why are you embarrassed to bother?" as always, but it doesn't make people feel alienated, it only makes people feel that they just don't want to cause trouble.

"Hey. Old Mo. What's so troublesome about this. It's in a village. I don't like to hear what you say, if you feel embarrassed, you can help me take care of my little flowers next time I go out. This Nizi loves to be quiet and doesn't associate with the people in the village. The old man didn't listen, and if I had someone to take care of the old man when I went out, I would be more at ease. My girl is not troublesome, but occasionally there is a headache and brain fever, and someone can find it!" Of course, Grandpa Ye also thinks so!

"Yes, Grandpa Mo will eat together! How much does Xiaohua have?" Seeing Grandpa Mo who came over after listening to Grandpa's words, Xiaohua still unconsciously lowered his right cheek. Hurry up and respond.

"Hey. Then I'm not welcome! Taking care of people is not an easy job! In order not to lose money? I can eat more. Mo Guozheng said with a smile.

At the end of the meal, the three of them did not say anything but used it happily.
