Susan knew far more about her grandfather than her mother did. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was persuaded by Susan like this, and the old man Su Bingyi calmed down a lot, but he kept blaming himself: "Old Zhang, old Zhang...... If I can't go to the grave to worship, I won't be at ease in my life! And this money and gold, how can I ask you for this? This...... These components are a testimony to our friendship, and I accept them, but I can't accept things outside my body......"

I feel that Mr. Su Bingyi is already a little involved in the play, as if Mr. Zhang Hansan is in front of him. But regardless of whether the old man Su Bingyi is in the play or not, as soon as he says this, no one dares to take the camphor box on the table, and I will definitely not take it back, if this matter is known to the old man Zhang Hansan, his dead soul will have to entangle me to death. Besides, if the children of the old man Zhang Hansan know, they won't let me go? So I hurriedly explained the words to Mr. Su Bingyi, "Mr. Su, this is what Mr. Zhang has repeatedly explained, let me be sure to send it to you." There's no such thing as a return ticket. "Old man Su Bingyi heard me say this, too, the objects in this camphor wooden box are too valuable, and the rash handling is disrespectful to the deceased. After hesitating for a while, the old man Su Bingyi suddenly said to his daughter: "In this way, let's change the plane ticket, we will go back in two days, and I will deal with this matter first." ”

When Su Bingyi's daughter heard that the old man Su Bingyi was going to postpone her return to China, she was anxious again, and said with a bitter face: "Dad, why are you so stubborn? Your medical treatment has been scheduled, this matter cannot be postponed, you see, your medicine is enough for two days, without medicine, your illness is ......"

Old man Su Bingyi immediately interrupted his daughter's opinion and said, "If there is no medicine, there is no medicine." I've lived enough at this age. All appointments are cancelled. I'm going to die here! "Old man Su Bingyi's temper is still quite stubborn. I didn't bother with people's dissuasion. Seeing this, my niece Susan said, if my grandfather can't persuade her to go back, she will really be in danger of her life. But Susan would never be like her mother, admitting death and persuading her, that would only be counterproductive, so she persuaded her grandfather flexibly: "Grandpa, how is my niece in my grandfather's mind?" ”

Old man Su Bingyi didn't know what Susan meant by asking. In a wary tone, he said, "What? You little girl wants to use your position in my grandfather's mind to persuade me to return to China? The grandfather told you very clearly, you can die of this heart, I will definitely go to worship your Uncle Zhang this time, by the way, these components and the money left by Uncle Zhang will be donated to my and Lao Zhang's hometown, which can be regarded as the implementation of my and Lao Zhang's wishes. Here Uncle Su Bingyi said resolutely, and his daughter was so anxious that she was "jumping on her feet" (Editor's note: dialect, which means to the extreme. For example, hot water makes his feet jump. This is still Susan calm, I saw her firmly said to her grandfather: "Grandpa." The reason why I ask you about my place in your heart is because I don't know if I have the qualifications to do it for you? As soon as she said this, Susan's mother and Su Bingyi were stunned. If you think about it carefully, it should work, do some things that your grandfather may not be able to do, and your grandfather can not delay the medical treatment, which is the best of both worlds. Su Bingyi thought about it for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is most appropriate for you to go on behalf of your grandfather." ”

I had expected such a decision to be strongly opposed by Susan's mother, but isn't that the case in China? It is absolutely impossible for a mother to leave her daughter in a foreign country and the whole family to go back first. But I still think it's wrong. Susan's suggestion was supported by her mother. This is obviously a huge difference between Western culture and Eastern culture, Susan's mother, who has received the influence of Western culture, understands that her daughter's independence and care are far more important than staying by her side, independence and life are the main theme of Western family education, and China is different, the center of Chinese family education is that children are all focused on their studies.

"Susan, China has been here many times, and I'm sure you can do a great job for your grandfather, but you have to tell me, how long will it take you?" In this way, I can help you change your plane ticket when you go to the airport, and your employment is also very important, so don't delay too long in China because of fun! Susan's mother reminded:

"Alright! Compared with my niece and my daughter, I always feel that my niece is still intimate...... "Old man Su Bingyi stroked Susan's head with satisfaction and said: "It's really not good, it's also a great thing to get a job in China!" ”

"Dad......" Susan's mother seemed very dissatisfied when she heard that her father was going to let her niece stay in China again, and this time, Su Bingyi was going to carry her daughter again, "Huh? What's wrong? Is it difficult to stay and work in China is ......"

Seeing this, Susan hurriedly stopped: "Grandpa, mother, what are you doing here?" I have my own plans for working in France or in China, and I think you can't stop me from what I decide, right? The urgency of the delay now is that I need to know where Grandpa Zhang's grave is? I can worship him! ”

As soon as Susan asked this, I was the first to be embarrassed, needless to say, Susan asked her grandfather, and the old man Su Bingyi would definitely come to ask me! I have seen Zhang Hansan's ghost, how can I know the specific location of his tomb? But what is unexpected is that I have thought too much about this layer, Su Bingyi old man pointed to the set of components in the camphor wood box and said: "Lao Zhang's grave is in our hometown - Xin'an (Editor's note: Xin'an is a town in Wuxi, located in the southwest of Wuxi, the town of Wuxi is characterized by either because of the rise of township enterprises, or because of the characteristics of the geographical environment, it is still mainly planting, poor jingling, showing a trend of polarization, but Xin'an belongs to the kind of very stable, very mediocre town, Say it's rich, it's just those few township enterprises supporting the scene, and the title of 'rich' is still a little far away, say it's poor, then it can be regarded as joining the rising army of township enterprises, there is a certain amount of income, anyway, it's hard to say, it can only be said that this town is a town that is easy to forget, there is no big characteristic! Susan, you went to your grandfather's hometown. One inquiry. You can find out! ”

"Okay! Then I'll go to Wuxi today. Let's talk first, I'll book a room online! After Susan finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but the old man Su Bingyi hurriedly stopped Susan and said: "Xiao Jiang is from Wuxi, that Lao Zhang has a house in Wuxi City, which is upstairs from Xiao Jiang, you can follow Xiao Jiang to take a look." After all, Xiao Jiang is from Wuxi, and he is familiar with the ground of Wuxi! ”

Susan nodded generously and said, "Okay! That little Brother Jiang. You wait a little for me, can we leave in the afternoon? Susan's mother suddenly picked up her wallet, took out a wad of 100 yuan from it and handed it to me and said: "This is a reward, I hope you take good care of my daughter, she is sometimes a little out of tune, like to do something out of the ordinary......"

Facing me as I handed over the bill, I looked at Susan's mother with an incredible look and said, "Auntie." Do you think this is reliable? In a socialist country, we still pay attention to regional and human feelings. Not to mention that Susan and I are half a fellow countryman, just a foreign friend, I should also do my best to entertain, this way of measuring friendship with money, I am not used to it! As soon as I said this" scene words, Susan's mother looked at me with dumbfounded eyes, it seemed that my expression was completely opposite to her understanding of Chinese feelings, but Uncle Su Bingyi on the side laughed "haha" and said: "This is China, girl, you left China when you were a child and followed me to France, you almost don't know anything about Chinese human feelings, don't talk about it, let's just say that the friendship between me and Zhang Hansan, that is a friend of life and death." Can this be measured in terms of money? I can bear the charge of 'stealing the fruits of the revolution' for Zhang Hansan's sake, and Zhang Hansan can leave my life savings for me...... You don't understand why I want to stay in China, and that's the biggest reason why I want to stay in China! ”

Susan's mother had nothing to say, and she didn't know whether to take back or continue to give the wad of money in her hand, and finally Uncle Su Bingyi spoke: "Xiao Jiang, listen to my old Su, you take this money well, Susan's stomach is completely westernized, it's okay to eat a Chinese meal occasionally, you have to eat Western food most of the time, the cost is quite large, you can take this money, and it should be the cost of car travel and catering." You came all the way to Shanghai, just to send Zhang Hansan's relics, but unfortunately I have to return to China, but my heart is here, so, I leave all my thoughts here, I swear, I Su Bingyi will definitely come back, therefore, Xiao Jiang, please be sure to take my niece, all the things in this camphor box, all the things in the camphor box, these components...... I think I'd better take it home, and when I come back again, I'll hand it over to our former brigade secretary and let him know: I am innocent, and in those days, everyone who stole because of hunger was innocent! ”

I saw that the old man Su Bingyi first took a wad of money in his daughter's hand, and forced it into my hand and said: "Take it, we won't exchange this money...... " Immediately after, the old man Su Bingyi took out a few small components in the camphor wood box, and said after a while: "The craftsmanship of my youth is now impossible for me to do the same thing on the side...... It's not okay if people don't accept old age! ”

"Dad, you see that you have been excited all morning, hurry up and rest for a while, you have to travel and travel at night......" Susan's mother saw that her father's spirit was a little sluggish, and hurriedly persuaded her to rest, but she didn't expect that Su Bingyi's old man was going to argue again, and when the father and daughter were about to argue again, Susan, who entered the room to book a ticket, heard the news and walked out, and hurriedly said before the public mouth: "Grandpa, I just got up, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but the lunch is almost here." Presumably Xiao Jiang didn't eat either, I just took him out to eat, you don't always pester Xiao Jiang, he should be very hungry. Susan couldn't help but give me a look when she said this. I understood, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Old man Su, you see that I came to Shanghai in a hurry, and I didn't eat anything, you see, why don't I go out with Susan to deal with it a little first, and then talk after eating." "Old man Su Bingyi saw me say this, and he was embarrassed to stay. nodded and said: "Okay, you go eat first, then I'll rest for a while......" Old man Su Bingyi said this, looking at his daughter, which means do you want to go and eat something, Susan's mother shook her head again and again and said: "I'm not hungry, let's let the young man eat, Dad, I'll help you go to the bedroom to lie down for a while." ”

When Mr. Su Bingyi was about to get up and enter the bedroom, he suddenly turned around and stopped Susan, who was about to go out with me. "Susan. Xiao Jiang is also more than ten years older than you. Don't you follow me and call me 'Xiao Jiang', it's very rude! Old man Su Bingyi said:

"And what do I call him?" Susan looked at her grandfather with wide eyes:

"Don't you know this? Call Uncle ......," the old man Su Bingyi tapped the cane in his hand and said:

As soon as I heard such a title, I immediately said embarrassedly: "Old man Su, this is really impossible, I always thought I was very young." Let me be my brother again," I said, and all four of them laughed out loud at the same time.

……

Shanghai, China's financial and economic center, is one of the most prosperous cities. It is known as the "magic capital" by many people. As soon as you get out of the Shanghai Hotel, it is Huaihai Road, the most prosperous section of Shanghai. To the east of Huaihai Road, there is the most famous pedestrian street in the country: Nanjing Road. Wuxi is relatively close to Shanghai, and thanks to the geographical advantages, I often go to Shanghai, or for leisure, business, or tourism...... As soon as I walked out of the Shanghai hotel, I chattered about some famous delicacies in Shanghai, and where to eat this delicacies...... Suddenly. I'm not shopping with a Chinese-French mixed-race girl, but with a Shanghai-friendly girl next door who is "wandering" Shanghai. At last. Susan told me all the famous delicacies in Shanghai, and I said, "After all, it's not about Western food?" ”

"Western food? Oh...... I don't want to eat Western food today...... Well...... I want to eat alley food! Susan said in the tone of a gourmet:

Lane Tang cuisine is one of the most distinctive "cuisines" in Shanghai, and in fashionable terms, it is "private cuisine". Alley is a form of expression of private buildings in the south, which is more called "alley" in the north and "alley" in the south. The two rows of private rooms are "facing each other", and the "gap" formed in the middle is the "alley". Due to the unique layout of the alley, it is unrealistic to open a restaurant in the alley, and the alley cuisine is that the residents in the alley have good cooking skills, and the reputation is outside, attracting some "foodies" to visit, and over time, it forms the "alley cuisine". At best, lane food is home-cooked and mother-made dishes, both in taste and appearance, it is incomparable with the restaurant, but because it incorporates a kind of home flavor, it has become a favorite of many diners.

Of course, with the rapid changes in Shanghai, alleys are gradually replaced by high-rise buildings, so the space for the survival of "alley dishes" is becoming more and more narrow. "Lane Tang Cuisine" is getting less and less, but there are more and more people who like "Lane Tang Cuisine", and the businessmen who find business opportunities begin to use the commercial speculation to commercialize the "Lane Tang Cuisine", and the businessmen buy or rent two private rooms in the Lane Restaurant, and then use it for transformation, and then light some chefs who are good at making home-cooked dishes as the head chef, and do some advertising and hype casually, after a long time, it will be full of diners, and the business will be endless, but the real "Lane Tang Cuisine" has lost the space for "self-development".

Lane cuisine may be a household name in Shanghai, but outside of Shanghai, the average Chinese do not know about it, and in France, it should be even more unheard of. I don't know how Susan knew that there is a "cuisine" called "lane tang cuisine", so I asked curiously: "How did you know that there is also "lane tang cuisine" in Shanghai?" Susan smiled and asked me, "Before you go abroad, don't you read some books such as "Travel Guide"?" ”

I didn't expect Susan to be such a prepared person, I was not very familiar with lane dishes, Susan waved her hand and said directly to me: "Little Brother Jiang, come with me, I will take you to a place with high praise to eat 'lane dishes'!" ”

"Little Brother Jiang?" When Susan said this, I suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world, this title is so familiar, so warm, there was once such a girl who kept calling me like this (author's note: For details, please refer to the first part of the clumsy "Hell" series, "Hell, Record Me and the People Around Me"). Now that I'm called by this Susan, I'm a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that I should call you brother and look younger? Is it possible to obey my grandfather's wishes and call you uncle? Seeing that I didn't seem to like to call him "Little Brother Jiang", Susan hurriedly sought my advice.

"Susan, or we'll call her by her first name! Young people, don't have so many rules! "Anyway, I personally think that "Little Brother Jiang" came out of Susan's mouth, which feels a little weird!

"That won't do! My grandfather said that China is a country of etiquette, and it is very impolite to call by name! "I can't believe that Susan would use this reason to reject me.

Seeing that Susan did not agree to call her by her first name, I could only retreat and suggest: "Then call it the surname, in China, putting the surname in front is the awe of the ancestors, and you call me by the surname, which is the greatest respect for me!" (To be continued.) )
