Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming returned from purchasing, and they received many doubtful eyes from passers-by along the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause Mrs. Wu took the initiative to take on the heavy physical work of carrying it on her shoulders. Not to mention the several burdens that Mrs. Wu had taken by the way, he also carried a lot of clothes and daily necessities purchased from shopping malls and supermarkets in both hands.
Xu Ming was empty-handed, not because he was unwilling to help, but because Mrs. Wu was unwilling. said that she must be worthy of the salary Xu Ming paid her, and emphasized that manual work at this level was just a drop in the bucket for her, and it was nothing.
Xu Ming had no choice but to stop arguing with her and let her go. It's just that he secretly made up his mind that he must strengthen strength training in the future. He is a big man, but he can't compare to the strength of a weak woman, and he is really too much to look up.
The two of them entered the door one after another, and as soon as Mrs. Wu entered the door, she saw the gray-haired and energetic old woman on the sofa in the living room. Thinking that it must be Xu Ming's grandmother, he thought that he should bow and say hello.
Unexpectedly, the burden behind him was too heavy, and as soon as he lowered his head, he rolled to the ground with the burden, so he was not embarrassed. Xu Ming, who entered the door later, saw this scene, and the whole person couldn't help laughing, originally saw Mrs. Wu swaying left and right like a bear like a bear, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"It's really yours, but you won't help you, now it's okay, I really think of myself as a Popeye." Xu Ming took away the burden on Mrs. Wu's body and helped Mrs. Wu up, and said with a smile.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, it's my job, how can I trouble you again." Mrs. Wu stood up, didn't care about sorting out the burden around her, and hurriedly said to the old woman sitting on the sofa, "Hello." ā
Seeing this, Xu Ming turned his head to look behind him only to find Grandma Xu, who didn't know how long he had been waiting, and introduced with a smile: "Grandma, you raided again." Let me introduce you. This is Grandma Xu, this is what I mentioned to you, Mrs. Wu. ā
Although Grandma Xu has always been serious and accustomed to not smiling, when she saw the funny scene in front of her and saw the melancholy eldest grandson smiling proudly, she laughed out loud unconsciously. stood up and walked to Xu Ming, who was supporting Mrs. Wu, and said: "It is said that she is beautiful and arrogant, and her personality is high, but she doesn't look like it." ā
Mrs. Wu embarrassedly pulled out the arm that was tightly held by Xu Ming, and immediately leaned over and took out two pairs of handmade mille-feuille cloth shoes from a burden beside her, handed them to Grandma Xu, and said with a smile: "I heard Boss Xu say that you have been to the countryside once, and you must have worn this kind of cloth shoes." I came in a hurry, and I didn't know what to give you, so I asked Boss Xu about your size and rushed two pairs overnight, I hope you can like it. ā
"Oh, yes, yes, wow, you're going to do this? Now there is not much that can be done in the countryside. Grandma Xu took the cloth shoes from Mrs. Wu's hand, looked at them carefully, and praised them again and again. I love it, thank you very much. ā
"It's good if you like it, it's good if you like it, Boss Xu said that he would go to your place in a few days and send it to you personally, but now you're here, just for you, you try to see if it fits." As he spoke, he helped Grandma Xu to the sofa and sat down, and personally took off Grandma Xu's shoes and put them on.
"Well, that's a good fit. When I went to the countryside for quite a few years, I would have done it, but now that I'm older, I can't do it anymore. During this period, several nannies from the family, although they were also from the countryside, did not do well. It is said that there are fewer people wearing this in the countryside now. How could it be, no one would make such a good thing. It's really good, this one you made not only fits, not to mention the moderate hardness and softness of the sole, but also the style is very beautiful. ā
"Grandma, it's good if you like it, I'm afraid you won't like it, it's really good. As long as you like, I will definitely make you a few more pairs in the future. Mrs. Wu was very happy to see Grandma Xu, and she was also kind, not as unsmiling as Xu Ming said, and her heart was down-to-earth. She was afraid that Grandma Xu would think that her gift was shabby and bombarded her out.
"Well, by the way, also, last time Lin Yue said that she liked the pajamas I made very much, I made one for her, and by the way, I also made one for you, made of cotton cloth woven by myself, not starched, although it is easy to fold, but it is very soft and comfortable to wear, sweat-absorbing and breathable, I hope you will also accept it together, don't dislike it." Mrs. Wu took out a cotton cardigan pajamas from another bag and handed it to Grandma Xu.
"Oh, I really like this. Wow, I also like this look, the placket is still laced, and it is easy to put on and take off. A handful of old bones, no strength in the arms, troublesome buttonholes, and uncomfortable zippers. I like this pair of placket ties, this kind of home-woven homespun cloth, soft not to mention safe, unlike the current ones that are printed and dyed with chemical dyes, and it is easy to be allergic when worn on the body. Tell you, I'm most afraid of allergies, hey, that taste, but it's very, very uncomfortable. Grandma Xu pinched and pinched the pajamas given by Mrs. Wu, looked at it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile happily, even the wrinkles on her face were stretched.
"Hey, hey, what's the situation, when did you prepare these gifts for grandma, why haven't you made me a whole for me when I've been in the samurai village for so long. No, I want it too. Xu Ming saw that the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and he couldn't interject at all, so he just squeezed into the middle of the two people and coquettishly.
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Wu said happily that there were a lot of things a few days ago, and if Xu Ming hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten. She took out a set of pajamas made of the same fabric as the pajamas given to Grandma Xu but slightly fat, and handed them to Xu Ming.
"Is there really mine?!" Xu Ming didn't expect Mrs. Wu to prepare her own gifts, and the whole person danced happily, laughing like a child: "Grandma, look, I have it too, I have it too!" ā
Grandma Xu rarely saw her big baby grandson laughing like a silly child, and she laughed along. yes, that's fine, as long as he's happy.
Although this child has been smart and well-behaved since he was a child, he has too much baggage in his heart, and there is always a thick sadness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Now, it seems that the samurai village is going to the right place. He really felt like a different person.
"By the way, Grandma Xu, Boss Xu, I have washed all the clothes with soap. Put it in the sun and wear it. I know that Grandma Xu loves allergies, so I specially boiled water and washed it with the big soaphorn tree in the mountains. This big soap corner can not only be used to wash clothes, but also to wash dishes and hair, and it can also make hair black. And it is less irritating, especially suitable for people who are prone to allergies. This is what I used to dry and grind, and I brought you a lot of it. ā
"Wow, what else is in your baggage, take it out together, ma'am." Xu Ming said with a smile.
Grandma Xu couldn't close her mouth even more happily, she is a person who is particularly prone to allergies, and if she doesn't pay attention to eating and dressing, she will be covered with rashes, painful and itchy. The gray hair on his head is a taboo in his heart, and he doesn't dare to dye it black casually, and he should use shampoo with caution. Now, this soap powder really solves her urgent need.
"By the way, there are a lot of dried mushrooms and wild vegetables that I have dried myself, and when you eat these mountain mushrooms, you will see if you will be allergic before eating more. This wild vegetable has bitter herbs, mother-in-law, camellia, and some purslane and toon leaves. This toon leaf tea can lower blood sugar and blood pressure, as well as these purslane, you can soak in water to drink, cook and eat steamed buns and dumplings are delicious, this mother-in-law can make tea and drink, good for your stomach can also treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis. If you have a severe itchy rash on your body, you can boil water to wipe your body, which can stop the itching. Also, there's ......"
"Okay, good, great, what a good boy with a heart, I like it, I like it all, but I can't remember what you said so much at once. You're tired all the way from carrying so many things, so sit down and drink a cup of tea and talk slowly. ā
Grandma Xu took Mrs. Wu's hand and looked at it carefully: "Ouch, this thin skin and tender meat is not like a hand that is used to heavy work." ā
"Well, now that most of the land in the countryside is contracted, I don't have any heavy work to do at home, just do some housework such as cleaning up." Mrs. Wu said embarrassedly.
"Okay, well, I will be relieved that you will take care of our family's Xu Ming's diet and daily life in the future. Why, how long are you going to stay here? If my health allows, I'd like to go back with you. ā
"This, this ......" Mrs. Wu really didn't think about it, so she had to wait until she sorted out her mind.
"Grandma, what would you like to eat? This time I will stay a few more days, and the construction site over there will not be able to resume work for a while due to the impact of the blizzard. The other items are still under approval, so there is no hurry. If you want to go, you'll have to wait a while when the weather is getting warmer. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, so let's go out to eat. Xu Ming saw Mrs. Wu's somewhat lost face, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"I can cook some food for you at home," said Mrs. Wu, "but the things in the kitchen are not very useful, Grandma Xu, can you teach me?" Just sit down and tell me how to use it, and I'll go downstairs and buy whatever you want. ā
"Well, I really want to try your craft, but I can't do it tonight, I'm far away, and the driver will come to pick me up in a while, it's too late and there is a traffic jam on the road." As soon as Grandma Xu finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
"I'll take them all back. One day, you and Xu Ming went to my place, bought some food you wanted to eat and made it for me, and my new nanny over there seems to be from you. You can make me some of your specialties and try them. ā
"Huh? Such a coincidence? That's great, I've come here, and I haven't met my fellow yet. Does Grandma Xu know which village she is from? ā
"I really didn't ask about this, but I knew that my surname was Zhang, and I called her sister-in-law Zhang. The people are very neat, the cooking is good, and you have time to communicate. Then he said to Xu Ming: "Your brother is also with me, he was supposed to come with me today, but Dandan had a cold and didn't want to go out, so he didn't come." You go to my side earlier and see the kid go. ā
"Okay, I've been packing up these days, and I've just come back with a bunch of things, and thanks to my brother helping me take care of the affairs here, or I'm really lacking in skills."
"It's good to know, you guys, none of them make me worry, Dandan's mother has come to make trouble again these days, saying that she wants to bring Dandan's to the United States to settle down, and I asked your brother to take the child to other places with him on a business trip. Tossing back and forth like this, can the child not get sick? You, if you find a suitable one, quickly tie the knot and give me a great-granddaughter, this family has a stinky great-grandson, and there is no granddaughter, everything really doesn't go well. What's the matter, Satsuki, didn't you say I'm going to you? Didn't come back? I think Xiaoyue is very good, you just marry someone else's girl, it's not a small boss, that girl is sincere to you, you, you ......"
"Okay, stop nagging, let the driver wait outside." Xu Ming interrupted Grandma Xu, "Xiaoyue and I are friends now, don't mess around with the mandarin duck score, go back quickly, I still have a lot of things to do." ā
"Then I'll send my grandmother too." Mrs. Wu said.
"No need, you quickly pack up the things at the door, I'll send grandma." Xu Ming said.
"That's good, that's good. Grandma Xu walks slowly! Mrs. Wu said that she sent Grandma Xu and Xu Ming out of the room respectfully, and when she turned around, she quickly packed up the bags and clothes in the house.
