Chapter 8: Something Happened

On the morning of the first day of the new year, I ate the remaining Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the evening of the 30th night, which is called picking up blessings, and eating is good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Meimei was watched by her mother and ate three meat-filled dumplings, half a pig's trotter and a small piece of white and tender fish.

Liu Xiu'e hurriedly called people: "Meimei! Come with me to open the shop in a moment, and you'll have to help pick the screws. ”

When Liu Xiu'e's grocery store closes at night, the outside of the glass cabinet has to be plugged in with a circle of iron plates, and finally a screw is nailed to the inside, and the iron plate is stuck and cannot be pulled out without entering the door and taking out the screw from the inside.

Zhao Meimei pulled the wire from the inside, her mother pulled the iron plate outside, the grocery store opened, and Zhao Meimei followed her mother to light the small stove.

Liu Xiu'e took out the oranges she brought from home and roasted them on the stove, Zhao Meimei saw that there was something to eat, so she didn't rush to leave this time, sat next to her mother, and helped turn the oranges with a small spoon.

Zhao Meimei coughed, she had a slight rhinitis since she was a child, her mother led her to the hospital to prescribe medicine, came back to give her a nose drop, the bitter medicine dripped from her nose, and flowed into her mouth along her throat, Zhao Meimei was disgusted and refused to take medicine.

Liu Xiu'e had no choice, once when she went to deliver old clothes to Aunt Zhao, she heard her mention that earthwork to cure cough is to eat roasted oranges, and when she came back to try to have an effect, she kept giving it to Zhao Meimei.

Fresh oranges are baked on the iron wall of the stove, and when they become soft, they are opened and eaten hot, sweet and slightly bitter, and quite delicious.

Zhao Meimei loves to eat this bite, as long as Liu Xiu'e bakes oranges, she will look at it from the side, and she is so anxious that she will take a small spoon and help turn it over.

Zhao Meimei ate two oranges while they were hot, burped, and said hello to her mother with satisfaction, wanting to go to Dabaozi and play with them.

Liu Xiu'e hurriedly took out the sauce pig's trotters that had been prepared a long time ago, looked at the wall watch on the shelf, and handed the things to Zhao Meimei: "Last night's meal in the middle of the night, your grandma Zhao must not have slept steadily, now it is estimated that it is time to get up, Meimei, you go and send the pig's trotters to grandma." ”

Zhao Meimei took the pig's trotters, turned her head and ran.

Liu Xiu'e shouted behind her: "Don't forget to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, say two auspicious words, grandma is not allowed to ask for New Year's money!" ”

Zhao Meimei's legs and feet are neat, and she has already run away in a few words.

Zhao Meimei turned around and went to Building No. 3 with a familiar way, standing in front of Aunt Zhao's house and slamming the door: "Grandma! Grandmother! I'm Meimei! ”

Zhao Meimei knocked on the old man for a long time, but no one came to open the door, Zhao Meimei was puzzled, every time the old lady heard that she knocked on the door, she would always agree first, and hurriedly ran over to open the door, but there was no movement at all today.

Zhao Meimei tapped the door twice hard, put her ear to it and listened for a long time, but no one answered.

Zhao Meimei was thinking about going out to play, she was a little anxious, kicked the door, and called grandma with a kick.

The occupant of the middle door opened the door when he heard the movement, and when he saw that it was Zhao Meimei, he smiled: "Meimei, what are you doing this morning?" Jingle bells! ”

Zhao Meimei didn't look at the naughtiness of the usual joy, in front of outsiders, she still understood the politeness she should say, and hurriedly called sweetly: "Hello Auntie, Happy New Year Auntie!" ”

The other party smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly went back to the house and grabbed a handful of candy for Zhao Meimei to put in her pocket: "Meimei, Happy New Year." ”

Zhao Meimei was about to knock on the door when she returned her hand, but the other party followed and took a look, which was also quite strange: "Old Mrs. Zhao should also get up at this time, I didn't hear the movement of opening the door next door before." ”

The other party knocked on the door and called twice, and said to Zhao Meimei: "Your Grandma Zhao may have gone out, or you will come back later." ”

Zhao Meimei had no choice, so she politely said goodbye to the other party, turned her head and walked back.

She was still carrying pig's trotters in her hand, and her mother had not finished her explanation, so she had to go back and deliver something.

Zhao Meimei kicked the snow all the way, walked to the head of Building No. 3, there was a thin layer of snowflakes on the thick cotton shoes, she stopped, turned her head to look at the balcony on the first floor, her black eyes turned twice, lit up, and turned her head to run behind Building No. 3.

Zhao Meimei stood under the glass window of Zhao's mother's house facing the green belt, looking inside with her feet crossed, she was too short to reach the edge of the window sill with her hands raised.

Zhao Meimei put the bag containing the pig's trotters in sauce on the ground, jumped up by herself, tried a few times, and looked at the wall in front of her.

Zhao Meimei was jumping up and down, and a neighbor passed by and called her: "Zhao Meimei, are you naughty again?" ”

Zhao Meimei turned her head to look over, she knew, she had a good relationship with his father, and hurriedly called: "Hello Uncle Li, Happy New Year!" ”

When Uncle Li heard that it was a New Year's greeting, he hurriedly replied with a smile: "Happy New Year, come, uncle will give you money." ”

Zhao Meimei didn't want it, and waved her hand again and again: "My mother won't let me ask for money from others." ”

Uncle Li was happy: "Am I someone else?" I'm your Uncle Li, come, take it. ”

Uncle Li forced the money to Zhao Meimei, and Zhao Meimei accepted it.

Uncle Li asked her, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Meimei narrowed her small eyes and frowned: "My mother asked me to send pig's trotters to Grandma Zhao, I knocked on the door and no one opened it, I want to see if there is anyone in the house, Grandma Zhao usually stays in the bedroom." ”

Uncle Li took two steps closer when he heard this, and looked into the window glass with his feet worried, the sunlight outside was too much, dangling on the glass, and he couldn't see clearly, he reached out to block his eyes again, looked in again, was stunned, changed his face instantly, and screamed in his mouth: "It's broken!" Turned her head and called Zhao Meimei: "Meimei, hurry, go home and call your dad to come over to help, your grandma Zhao is faint!" ”

"Ahh Zhao Meimei was frightened, and when she heard that Uncle Li asked her to call her father, she hurriedly ran home, and reacted halfway through the run, and ran to the grocery store at home first.

Liu Xiu'e was selling goods, just found the change, and said kind words to people for the New Year, Zhao Meimei's little head squeezed out from below, hung her arms on the window, and shouted inside: "Mom!" Mother! Oh no! ”

Liu Xiu'e trained with a calm face: "Zhao Meimei! Mom sells goods here, you don't make trouble! ”

Zhao Meimei was startled just now, and trotted all the way over, after shouting a sentence, she paused, and then took a breath, and hurriedly shouted in a small voice: "Mom, my Grandma Zhao is faint on the ground at home, and my Uncle Li asked me to come back and call my dad!" ”

"What!" Liu Xiu'e was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted to Zhao Meimei: "Come in and look at the store, I'll call your father." ”

Zhao Meimei entered the grocery store, lying on the small window selling goods, watching her mother rush home, and after a while, her parents and neighbor Uncle Bai hurriedly ran to Building No. 3.

Zhao Meimei screamed on the window: "Dad, Mom, come on!" ”

Liu Xiu'e couldn't cry or laugh, and while running, she shouted at Zhao Meimei: "Take a good look at the store!" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Meimei agreed, retracted her head, and closed the small window.
