Huang Daniu held the smart rice cooker, the prize he won in the chicken bus pick-up bride sports competition, and walked vigorously to the residence of the old man Xu Baoshan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Baoshan is the only lonely old man in Meixi Village, because he was seriously injured when he went up the mountain to collect firewood and accidentally fell off the cliff, his leg tribe was disabled, and his family lived in the mountainous area with a bad family background, so he did not marry a daughter-in-law, and lived alone, and he was over 60 years old this year.

The cadres in the lower villages of the town have repeatedly persuaded the elderly to go to the town nursing home to recuperate in their old age, but the old man has not agreed. One of his reasons is that it is difficult to leave his homeland; The second is the villagers who are reluctant to leave here.

Xu Baoshan was a ingenious carpenter before he was injured, and the chicken carts, threshing machines and other cottage production tools he made were very good, especially favored by local farmers. After the injury, although I can't make these large production tools, I can still repair these tools or fight some small benches and barrels. Usually, when the wooden tools of the people in the village are broken or want to nail a small bench or something, he is asked to help repair or help to do it, and he is happy to accept it, and never charges labor fees, so he is deeply loved by the villagers.

Although Xu Baoshan is physically disabled, he is open-minded and optimistic. He has a deep attachment to the mountains and rivers here, especially for the villagers here, and he has the feeling that fish cannot do without water. Every Chinese New Year's holiday, someone will invite him to his home for a reunion dinner, especially after Huang Daniu served as the village head, he cared for him even more. Send mosquito nets and mosquito killers to prevent mosquitoes in summer, send clothes and quilts in winter, and never neglect to ask for warmth, just like a son to his father, you say, how can he be willing to leave Meixi Village, willing to leave his relatives who care about him?

The old man also went to watch the celebration of International Women's Day held in the village, but he did not see the final award ceremony, and he was about to rush home to cook dinner, and at this time he was lighting a fire.

At this time, Huang Da Niu walked in.

"Uncle Baoshan, you don't need to make a fire to cook, I'll bring you a rice cooker. You see, the smoke is burning, and it makes people feel uncomfortable! Huang Da Niu said holding the rice cooker.

The old man propped himself up with a wooden support, walked to the table with his feet sloping, carefully looked at the rice cooker that Huang Da Niu put on the table, and said: "Isn't this the prize for pushing the chicken bus to pick up the bride for the first place, I heard that it costs three or four hundred yuan to buy it, you worked so hard and sweated profusely to get the prize, why give it to me?" ”

"Uncle Baoshan, this rice cooker is more suitable for you to use. It is a smart rice cooker, easy to use and safe, not only can cook rice, but also make soup and porridge, if you want to eat steamed meat dishes, you can cook the meals at the same time! ”

Huang Daniu said as he looked around the four walls of the kitchen to find an electrical outlet, ready to teach the old man how to operate.

"Da Niu, this rice cooker is too advanced, I don't even know how to use it, you better keep it for your own home!" The old man said.

Huang Da Niu finally found an outlet on the wall of the living room of the old man's house that could connect the power to the rice cooker. He moved the rice cooker there, and the old man followed him from the kitchen to the living room.

Huang Da Niu comforted the old man Xu Baoshan while playing with it: "Uncle Baoshan, don't worry, although this smart rice cooker has many functions, it is easy to operate. You are a smart person, you can make things like threshing machines and chicken buses, and you can do it very well, and you will definitely be able to learn to use this smart rice cooker! ”

The old man listened to Huang Da Niu's words, his heart was warm, and he said: "Eh, that was when I was young, but now it's different, I'm old!" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he stared at the rice cooker with curious eyes and looked carefully.

Huang Daniu said: "Uncle Baoshan, you are not old, and you are still so smart and open-minded. Do you know words? ”

"Well, I know a little. Uncle Baoshan, I was born in the year of the founding of New China, thanks to the blessing of Chairman Mao of the Communist Party, I was fortunate enough to read the book for two years, but the reading was so-so, and the common words were still recognized! Hehe......" Uncle Baoshan said a little embarrassed and grateful.

"Oh! It was nice to be able to study for two years at that time, and I think you would be able to recognize the words on the rice cooker and what it means. Huang Daniu pointed to the words on the rice cooker and asked, "Uncle Baoshan, look, the words listed on this small screen are function selections, you can read them to me." ”

Uncle Baoshan half-squinted his deep eyes and pointed his finger at the display screen on the rice cooker and read: "Fine cooking, fast cooking, porridge, porridge soup, steaming, hot rice." ”

"Oh, Uncle Baoshan, you can recognize these words so deeply, great, then those 'open, close' are no problem!" Huang Da Niu boasted in surprise.

The old man listened to Huang Da Niu amuse himself like a child, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

Huang Daniu asked, "Uncle Baoshan, do you also understand the meaning of these words?" ”

Uncle Baoshan was happy, laughed a few times, and said: "I guess ha, this 'fine cooking' is to cook rice slowly, this 'fast cooking' is used when you can't wait to eat in a hurry, and this 'porridge soup' is used to make soup and porridge!" ”

"Exactly. Uncle Baoshan, look at it, press the button in the upper right corner, the arrow will slide in the display screen, if you want to make porridge, press the arrow to the 'porridge soup', and when the porridge is cooked, the display screen will display '0', which means that it is cooked. ”

"Oh, I want to drink polenta now, I'll go to the kitchen and get the ingredients!"

Uncle Baoshan brought over a handful of crushed corn and washed rice after a while.

Huang Da Niu poured the crushed corn and rice into the rice cooker, and then said: "Uncle Baoshan, you see, this pot is marked with a water line, the highest water mark means that the water can not be more than this line, the lowest water mark means that the water can not be less than this line, like the amount you enjoy alone, generally use the lowest water line, don't cook too much at once, so it is not fresh." Come, Uncle Baoshan, you can operate it for me now. ”

The old man went to the kitchen again and made a spoonful of water with a spoon, slowly poured it into the rice cooker, the water flooded to the lowest water mark and stopped, then pressed the function selection button, pressed the arrow to the 'porridge soup', and then pressed the start button, and the rice cooker began to operate.

"Haha, Uncle Baoshan, I said, you are a smart person, you see, you can learn it without much effort, this smart rice cooker is used like this!" Huang Daniu said happily.

"Hehehe......" Uncle Baoshan was also smiling innocently.

"Uncle Baoshan, you don't have to guard it, you can watch TV while waiting, it will automatically alarm when it is cooked, and you can drink porridge when you hear the sound of 'Dididi'!"

"I understand! I understand! The old man's eyes narrowed in a line of joy.

"Uncle Baoshan, then I'll go back first, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me again, when I'm free, I'll come over again to help you install an electrical socket in the kitchen, and move the rice cooker there, so it's more convenient!"

Uncle Baoshan was so moved that his eyes were a little moist, and when he saw that Huang Da Niu was leaving, he suddenly stopped him.

Uncle Baoshan said: "Da Niu, I want to have something to tell you, I don't know if you mind?" ”

"Uncle Baoshan, look at what you said cautiously, if you say anything, I'll listen!" Huang Da Niu said briskly.

Uncle Baoshan said: "Aunt Cui, she is a good daughter-in-law, it is normal for husband and wife to quarrel, don't take it too seriously." Now Cuigu comes back every day to help with housework, which shows that she still has you and this family in her heart. Listen to Uncle Baoshan's words, don't just think about doing this and that for everyone all day long, but also think about your own affairs, find a time, and marry Aunt Cui! ”

Listening to the old man's sincere words, Huang Daniu pondered for a moment and responded: "Uncle Baoshan, you have bothered for us, thank you!" Let me go back and think about it, okay! ”

Looking at Huang Daniu's distant figure, the old man Xu Baoshan showed great expectations.

When Huang Daniu returned home, he found that He Cuigu had left, so he complained to his son: "Little Niu, why don't you let your mother go, why don't you leave her here to eat?" ”

Da Niu's mother blamed her son and said: "Da Niu, how can you blame the child, you are not at home, you want to keep Aunt Cui, only if you open your mouth!" ”

What the mother said made Huang Daniu suddenly feel guilty, you said that this Cui Gu has been going out early and returning late every day for more than half a month, helping herself with housework, taking care of the elderly and children, today is "March 8" Women's Day, I killed a chicken early, I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to her, but I didn't expect her to leave again. Huang Daniu thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Huang Daniu walked out of the door and dialed He Cuigu's phone: "Hey, Cuigu, why don't you leave quietly?" ”

He Cuigu on the other end of the phone replied calmly and gently: "Why am I silent, don't I usually just walk so gently?" ”

Huang Da Niu realized that he had a question, so he explained: "No, I usually don't have time to greet you, thinking that today is 'March 8' Women's Day, didn't I kill the chicken early, I just want to treat you, to thank you for doing so much for me during this time!" ”

"Oh, I haven't eaten chicken? I've cooked the chicken and chopped it, so let's enjoy it slowly! He Cuigu still said softly and infinitely.

Huang Da Niu said with some regret: "Eh, I'm really sorry, just now I went to deliver the rice cooker to Uncle Baoshan, and I was there to teach him how to operate and use it, I tossed for a while, but I didn't expect to come back and see that you have left!" ”

"Look at what you said, ......" He Cuigu on the other end of the phone was disgusted, and suddenly realized that she was a little out of proportion, and quickly changed her words and said: "Da Niu, don't say I'm sorry, go back and help take care of the elderly and children to do housework, that's what I want, if you think I didn't eat your chicken, then send my share of chicken to Uncle Baoshan, the old man is single, and it's rare to kill a chicken to eat, take it to him now while it's still hot!" ”

He Cuigu hung up the phone, but Huang Daniu's heart fluctuated. He thought, He Cuigu is indeed very good, diligent and kind. Since she got married, she has been very enthusiastic about helping others, especially giving a lot of care to the old man Xu Baoshan. Every New Year's holiday, she will go to pull the old man to his home to have a reunion dinner together, usually add a little food to the old man, and help the old man make sweaters or something. She said that the old man was quite pitiful alone, and he usually helped our family repair chicken buses and threshing machines, and never charged a penny. The elderly can still take the initiative to help us if they are physically disabled, and we should be more concerned about helping the elderly as younger generations! Huang Daniu knew that He Cuigu's tone of voice was slow and leisurely, and she was also paying attention to her makeup, that was when she was deliberately changing herself, hoping to be recognized by herself, it was very hard for her to change herself for a person like this, although it was a bit ridiculous for her to do so, but it showed that she really liked herself. Maybe what Zhou Yafang said was right, the responsibility for divorcing Cuigu and Cuigu is not entirely on He Cuigu, and her bullish temper should also be changed. Huang Daniu thought about it, and the idea of remarrying He Cuigu slowly ignited in his heart.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Suddenly, there was a child's laughter behind him, and Huang Da Niu turned to look back, and it turned out that his son Xiao Niu was eavesdropping on his phone call from behind. He widened his eyes and pretended to be fierce and tried to scare his son away, but the calf was not afraid at all.

"Dad, are you going to pick up Mom back?"

Seeing his son looking at himself and asking, Huang Daniu's heart was sour, but he still twisted his son's ears and said in disgust: "Sneaky, what are you doing, go back to eat quickly!" ”

"If you don't tell me, I won't go back to dinner!"

"You're still stubborn with me, aren't you? Okay, if you don't eat it, I'll have to go back and eat it! ”

The calf followed his father back to the house. Huang Da Niu followed He Cuigu's instructions and used chopsticks to hold a bowl of chicken.

"Dad really listens to Mom and sends chicken to Uncle Baoshan, Mom will definitely come back this time!" Maverick said happily.

"Hey, I really can't hide anything from you, you clever ghost!"

Huang Da Niu Huang Xiao Niu father and son sent chicken to the old man in Baoshan together.

This night, Huang Da Niu couldn't sleep like baking pancakes, and finally decided to remarry Cuigu.
