Chapter 33: Warm Grandfather and Grandson

The old man waited for the body to warm up, except for the heavy coat outside, unwrapped his baggage, took two small packages and handed them to Xie Yujiao,

"Girl, this is yours, can you try it to fit," Xie Yujiao wondered what was inside the package, took it and untied it, and suddenly her nose was sore, and tears fell straight down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, why are you crying, what's the matter" The old man has always lived alone by himself, and rarely interacts with outsiders, let alone how to comfort the little girl. In the past month, the old man really hasn't seen the little girl shed a single tear, Xie Yujiao's sudden crying suddenly made the old man a little at a loss, staring at the side, not knowing how to comfort him.

"Grandpa, thank you, you are so good to me" Xie Yujiao wiped her tears, and her big watery eyes suddenly smiled at the old man Qu, which made the old man's heart soft, and he felt that the little granddaughter he picked up would be really his own, caring and sensible. However, the old man was just thinking about it in his heart, after all, there were families thousands of miles away waiting for her to go back.

The two burdens in front of Xie Yujiao were new cotton jackets, all bright red and sky blue, all of which were muslin skins, and she touched them carefully with her hands, feeling that her heart was hot, making her feel the warmth of her relatives again.

Not only clothes, but also sets of shoes and socks, silk flowers and headbands.

It is rare for an old man who has lived alone for decades to take everything into account so carefully.

Grandpa was so good to her that she was reluctant to leave.

In this month, the old and the young also have a lot of friendships. Old man Qu knew that the little girl still had relatives such as her father, mother, brother and sister in Rongzhou, and she had been thinking of a way to go back, so he had long known that this child would have to leave here sooner or later.

The old man didn't think anything at first, just to let the little girl take care of her injuries and then go to the big brother she said. But after getting along for a month, the old man felt that the dilapidated hut had gained a lot of popularity due to the arrival of the little girl, and it was no longer as cold as an ice cellar.

As soon as he came back today, as soon as he entered the house, there was a warm stove to bake, and hot water to drink, which made his room, which had been cold for decades, suddenly warmed up, and he also liked this child more and more from the bottom of his heart. No, seeing that the New Year is coming, he took the fur he had saved for a winter and exchanged it for silver, and bought two festive clothes for the little girl, which can be regarded as a celebration of the arrival of the New Year, and has a little festive flavor of the New Year. As for himself, an old man who is on the verge of death, he can't freeze or starve, he doesn't pay so much attention.

"Okay, don't cry, when you see it, you think the old man I beat you and scold you, this is the candy of Shifangzhai, you can use it as a snack"

The old man handed over another packet of things.

Xie Yujiao took it and opened the kraft paper, which was in bulk, and the boxy black sesame candy cut piece by piece was a pound.

She took a piece and fed it to the old man, who frowned a little and avoided it, "I bought it for you, you eat it yourself"

"Well, just give grandpa a piece, the rest is mine" Xie Yujiao pretended to protect the food, and held up the sugar cube in her hand to the old man.

The old man frowned and opened his mouth to bite the candy cube, and Xie Yujiao took a piece and put it in his mouth with a smile.

"Grandpa, you're coaxing me like a child" The sweet sugar cube melted in his mouth, and it was sweet to the bottom of his heart, and he smiled.

"Could it be that you're not a child?" The old man glanced at her and said.

"Uh......" Xie Yujiao wanted to say that I was really not a child, but she could only pout obediently and eat candy.

Xie Yujiao knew that the old man was good to him, and treated him like his own granddaughter, and would rather be cold and hungry than lose her. She looked at the old man who was bowing downstairs, because he lived alone all the year round, he rarely communicated with outsiders, and when he was injured and sick, there was no one in front of him to bring water, and suddenly she was very distressed.

Xie Yujiao took the burden and slowly put it away with a cane. She walked to the kitchen door and looked at the old Ye who was sitting at the door of the stove lonely, preparing to live and cook, thinking that she would go to the capital to find Brother Li after the New Year, and suddenly she was very reluctant.

But she really wants to go home, she misses her parents, her younger brothers and sisters, her grandparents, her grandparents, her grandparents, and her relatives at home.

"Grandpa, I can't go back to Rongzhou for a short time, and I will often come back to see you during this time in the capital" Xie Yujiao cleaned up her gloomy mood and said happily.

"What's there to see, it's serious to find a way to go home as soon as possible, don't worry about what your father and mother are thinking about what I'm a dying old man"

"You can't talk nonsense, grandpa is so healthy, he will definitely live a long life."

"What are you doing by living so long, wasting food in vain. Go back to the house and make a fire, the old man is going to eat. The old man lit the fire, got up and cleaned the pot, and added a ladle of water.

Xie Yujiao didn't listen to her grandfather's words and went back to the house, she moved to the stove with a cane, sat on the wooden pier at the stove and began to add firewood.

"It's also a fire when you go back to the house, why don't you help burn the fire here and watch you cook all the time, what will grandpa eat tonight?" Xie Yujiao saw that the old man had cut some vegetables and dried meat, put them in the pot together when the water was boiling, and then mixed a little thin noodles, stirring the pot and pouring the thin noodles into it.

"It's a gnocchi soup. When it is cooked, put some meat oil in it, sprinkle it with salt and a little chopped green onion, and you can eat. Although it is not a delicacy, it is fortunately simple and convenient, and ordinary people are reluctant to put even meat, but we don't have to worry about missing your meat to eat. The old man was talking, but he didn't pause in his hand, and the kung fu of this speech was fragrant, and a large pot of hot vegetable and meat gnocchi soup was ready.

"Let's go, go back to the house to eat, you can be careful with your legs and feet, don't bump into it" The old man took the basin and walked first. Xie Yujiao held the crutch with a pestle in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, and promised while showing the old man the road under his feet.

One old and one young, sitting around the fire, ready to eat with their stomachs open.

Because the half-grown children in the village came to see Xie Yujiao in the afternoon, many families at the dinner table in the evening were talking about the little girl picked up by Old Man Qu's family.

Liu Erwa also followed Mr. Qu's house in the morning, and followed everyone to shake a lot of Futu's gossip.

After eating, the family sat on the kang and chatted.

Liu Erwa's mother asked where her son went crazy today.

Liu Erwa's eyes lit up and said to her mother, "Mother, you haven't seen it, not to mention that girl is good-looking, but also has fine skin and tender meat, she is more squeamish than the granddaughter of the village chief, and she is pampered at first glance, not like Futu is talking about a country child at all, isn't it just like a living jade doll." ”
