63. The popular loquat paste
On Sunday afternoon, Xiang Antai had to go back to school, some time ago Xiang Ange was busy studying medicine, and did not have much time to accompany Xiang Antai, at this time the brothers were a little reluctant, and finally simply went out together as a family of three and sent Antai to school together.
Xiang Ange didn't have a driver's license at all, and the driver was naturally Gongzi Jin, as soon as he got in the car, Xiang Antai pulled his brother to sit in the back, and said happily: "Brother, if you are free today, I will take you around our school, which is much smaller than one." ”
Gongzi Jin raised his eyebrows, ignoring the child's behavior of snatching people, anyway, after the weekend, Xiang Antai had to stay at school obediently, and there were only two of them left in the family.
Xiang Antai was completely unaware of the rivalry between his younger brother and Gongzi Jin, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”
Xiang Antai said busily: "You were too busy some time ago, brother, is your master particularly strict." ”
Xiang Ange scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Of course not, Mr. Bian is a very kind person, and it is my brother who is fascinated by himself." ”
Xiang Antai didn't believe in this very much, and he also went to visit Mr. Bian with him, and Mr. Bian was even more terrible than their teaching director.
But the child didn't care about this, and he chattered endlessly along the way.
The school that Gongzi Jin selected for Xiang Antai is a full boarding system, and it is also bilingual teaching, which is not a grade compared to a small school, of course, the same is the same, the tuition is also surprisingly expensive, and he was shocked when he came to Ange for the first time, but considering the passbook that Gongzi Jin showed him and described the prospects of the stock market, he was not worried.
In such a school, although the faculty has gone up, the competition between students is also very large, which is not only a matter of learning, but also a competition for family background.
When Xiang Antai came to school on the first day, Gongzi Jin also specially asked Zhou Mingshan to borrow a very expensive private car to pick him up, which was the sum of money, so that Xiang Antai could integrate into the surrounding environment.
When Xiang Ange didn't notice it, many things in the family have been subtly changed by Gongzi Jin, such as the clothes he wore, the big road goods in the past have gradually disappeared, replaced by clothes that have no signs but are very suitable, such as the ingredients he usually eats, which are sent to the big yard every day, unless he occasionally rises up to buy vegetables by himself.
This kind of moisturizing and silent change, Xiang Ange didn't feel much, but Xiang Antai felt very surprised, with his understanding of his brother, he shouldn't have made so much money, and then thought of the real estate book that his brother showed him, the latest mobile phone that he was envied by his classmates, although Xiang Antai was young, but when facing Gongzi Jin, he was always a little uncomfortable.
Gongzi Jin knows this, but he obviously doesn't want to make any changes, even if Xiang Antai is Xiang Ange's younger brother, there is still a clear difference between the two when treating the two. Xiang Ange didn't have much experience of this, but Xiang Ange was keenly aware of it, and because of this, even if Gongzi Jin was not bad to him, Xiang Antai had always maintained a little respect and fear for him, which was a small animal's intuition.
The car soon arrived at the school gate, and every time he saw this school, Xiang Ange felt a little emotional, a few years ago, where would he have thought that he would have the ability to let his younger brother go to such a school.
Seeing Xiang Antai jump out of the car, he couldn't help but say to the driver in front of him, "Zijin, thank you." ”
The meaning of a thank you, the two of them knew it, Gongzi Jin hooked the corners of his mouth, and just said lightly: "Between you and me, there is no need to be polite." ”
Xiang Ange listened, also narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's right, my net worth and property are all with you." ”
"Brother, why can't you come down yet." Xiang Antai outside waited impatiently and shouted urgingly.
When the words fell, Gongzi Jin came down first, and glanced at Xiang Antai lightly, who subconsciously straightened his back, only to feel that this brother's eyes were under pressure, and it was not until his brother also walked down that this feeling gradually disappeared.
Xiang Antai held his brother with one hand, pointed to the scenery in the school, and said: "Brother, when our teacher was in class, there were all English, hey, I used to think that a small school was good enough, but now I know that the previous teacher's English was not standard at all." ”
Xiang Ange was also very glad to hear it, although he has always felt that his younger brother is very smart, but in a small or like this, the gap is obviously huge, he is like all parents in Zhongzhou, he has a heart of hope that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix, and when he has the ability, he is naturally willing to provide him with the best environment. Of course, this qiē has to be thanked to Gongzi Jin, otherwise with his little money, it is estimated that he will not even be able to find a way.
The school's dormitory is also very cozy, it looks more like a child's paradise, Xiang Ange helped his younger brother send things in, looked around, and was very satisfied. Although there are a few more children living in one room here than in the university dormitory, it is obviously not comparable.
At this time, he finally knew why every time he sent Antai over, Gongzi Jin had to choose a better car, otherwise it would be really easy to be looked down upon.
As soon as they put their things down, they saw another student walk in, a little chubby and dragging a small box behind his back, and he was still a little angry when he walked in.
Following the little fat man was a woman who looked to be in her forties, she put down the things in her hand and packed them up, and said, "Every day, that auntie will go back and pick you up on Friday." ”
The little fat man, who was called Tiantian, nodded, and said impatiently: "You go quickly, I will take care of myself." ”
After saying this, he didn't look at the aunt every day, walked to Xiang Antai with a smile, and said in surprise: "Antai, your two brothers will send you over together today." ”
Xiang Antai also grinned happily, nodded and said, "Yes, it just so happens that they are all free." ”
Xiang Ange came less, and this was the first time he saw his brother's roommate, so he smiled and said, "Hello Tiantian, I am Atai's brother Xiang Ange." ”
Seeing him greet him decently every day, he said happily: "Hello, Brother Xiao Xiang." After saying this, the child timidly glanced at Gongzi Jin, whether he leaned over to speak.
After staying at Xiang Ange for a while, he knew that most of the students in this school had good family conditions, but in the same way, their parents were very busy, and most of them were sent to school by drivers or nannies at home.
Waiting for Xiang Ange and the two of them to leave, Tian Tian became more lively, and he leaned behind Xiang Antai, and said with a smile: "Atai, your brother is so good, and he personally sent you over, my parents only sent me once when the first grade started, and then every time they said they were busy." ”
Xiang Antai nodded proudly and said with a smile: "Of course, my brother is the best brother in the world." He's been too busy lately, he used to take time out to visit me every week when he was in Rongcheng, but now it's okay, we live together, and I can go home and see him every week. ”
Tian Tian sighed, and said a little depressed: "Hey, I may not be able to see my parents when I go home, this time when I go home, they are abroad, and they don't even have a phone call." ”
Seeing that he was a little sad, Xiang Antai hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, they are also too busy, my brother was also very busy some time ago, and he didn't go home until midnight every day, he worked so hard for me." ”
When the little fat man heard this, he seemed to be a little happier, and when he saw Xiang Antai taking things out of his backpack, there were cans of things among them, so he asked curiously: "What is this, it's black, and there is no label." ”
When Xiang Antai heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Didn't I have a sore throat during this time, my brother knew about it, so he specially boiled loquat paste for me and made it himself." ”
The child also deliberately emphasized his own hands, which shows that he is still a little proud of Xiang Ange's concern. I have to say that since he was a child, he didn't have parents, Xiang Antai still looked forward to the care of the people around him, Xiang Ange's storage zài, replaced the position of his parents, and similarly, the previous Xiang Ange did spend most of his time on this younger brother.
As soon as he heard this, the little fat man's disgusted eyes naturally changed immediately, as a roommate in the dormitory, they all knew that Xiang Antai's brother was a doctor or a Chinese medicine practitioner, and in the eyes of children, Chinese medicine was a very mysterious kind of person. He touched his neck and couldn't help but say, "I've had a sore throat lately, Atai, can you give me some to eat." ”
Xiang Antai was a little hesitant, and the little fat man immediately said: "You won't be so stingy, there are two big bottles." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xiang Antai couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll give you some to drink, but my brother said that this loquat paste is specially boiled according to my physique, and it may not be suitable for others to drink." ”
Although loquat ointment is peaceful and suitable for most people, Xiang Ange saw that he was a little constipated, so he added some honey, so that at least diabetics could not drink it.
The little fat man obviously didn't care about this, he happily waited for him to play with a spoonful, took his own cup and made a cup, drank it with a coo, wiped his mouth and said, "It's delicious." ”
Isn't it delicious, Xiang Ange was afraid that his younger brother didn't like bitterness, so he deliberately added a little more rock sugar, anyway, Xiang Antai usually doesn't like sweets, and his sugar intake will not exceed the standard.
This taste is in the mouth of the little fat man, from this day on, every day when he drinks to Ange, he has to rub a cup, after a few days, he really feels that his throat is much more comfortable, and the constipation he had before has disappeared, and he immediately admires it.
Several other children in the dormitory saw it, and they also came up to ask for a drink, which made Xiang Antai very helpless, but fortunately he drank a small spoonful once a day, and he brought two large cans, but it was not enough to drink.
But every time I look at the fewer and fewer jars, Xiang Antai's little liver is distressed, you must know that this is made by my brother himself little by little, such a big pot of loquat leaves, and in the end there are only two jars of finished products.
The child was distressed, but the most worrying thing came, this day has not yet been class, the most beautiful little girl in the class suddenly stood up and walked to Xiang Antai, and asked coquettishly: "Xiang Antai, do you still have that magical loquat cream, if so, can you sell me a little." ”
This little girl's name is Angel, she is the most beautiful one in the class, it is said that the family conditions are very good, she has always been the head of the class, she is proud of the boys, and she never talks to them.
Xiang Antai also thought that Angel was beautiful in his heart, but when he heard her words, he suddenly had a bitter face, and subconsciously looked at the little fat man.
The little fat man hurriedly lowered his head every day, not daring to look at his roommate, obviously he was the traitor.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Angel continued: "That's the case, my grandmother has always had tracheitis, and she was the most uncomfortable in the autumn, and it was useless to take a lot of medicine, I heard every day that your loquat cream is good, and your throat won't hurt after drinking a few times, can you give me a little, I can spend money to buy it with you?" ”
The little girl said very sincerely, although Xiang Antai was reluctant, but under the attack of beauty and filial piety, in the end she agreed, thinking that her throat was already good anyway, so she simply gave Angel most of the remaining bottles, but insisted on not collecting money.
When Angel saw it, she suddenly became elated, and the smile made Antai's cheeks red.
When I got home on Friday, I couldn't cry or laugh when I heard about it, but I thought that the loquat paste I boiled didn't put Ejiao, turtle plate glue, and deer horn glue, which are more medicinal and would pick physical things, but I didn't say anything, and I helped him boil some with his own hands, and even the little fat man didn't fall behind, at least he had to eat for a full month, and he spent the winter solstice.
At that end, Angel mysteriously took out her gift, and said in a milky voice: "Grandma, this is the loquat paste made by my classmate's brother himself, and the classmates who have eaten it say that it is useful, you drink a spoonful every day, and you will not have a sore throat in the future." ”
Grandma Angel was wearing a cheongsam, looking like an old-fashioned lady, her eyes turned red when she heard this, and she hugged her granddaughter and called her heart and liver baby.
In the evening, Grandma An really took out the loquat paste and prepared to eat it, Grandpa An watched from the side, and couldn't help frowning: "You really eat it, this is a three-no product." ”
Grandma An stopped doing it, turned around and scolded: "You just can't see my granddaughter being filial to me, Angel still thinks about me at school." ”
Grandpa An couldn't do anything with women, he curled his beard and didn't speak, and secretly said that his wife had tracheitis for many years, and it didn't work after taking a lot of medicines, where is half a jar of loquat cream that can be treated.
However, thinking of his granddaughter's filial piety, the old man is still a little jealous, especially when he sees his wife and child drinking a sip every day, like eating elixir.
