The backyard of the Silver Dragon Temple is much wider than the front yard. On the east side of the courtyard, there is a neat row of side houses, roughly counted, to say the least, there are more than a dozen doorways. In the west opposite the wing room, the smoke curls and the house is steaming, which is the kitchen where the grandparents and grandchildren of the Ma family eat every day.

At this time, it was already approaching evening, and the pilgrims who went up to the mountain to pray for blessings were already inaccessible. After packing up the things in the foyer in the front yard, Ma Datong went to the kitchen in the backyard to prepare dinner.

"Ma Xiaoxiao, let's see, sooner or later, you will ask for my head, and I will take care of you when the time comes."

Ma Datong stood in front of the stove, muttering quietly as he worked. Obviously, the anger he suffered when he quarreled with Ma Xiaoxiao in the afternoon has not been extinguished yet.

"Grandpa, what are you eating today?"

Ma Datong's mouth was still muttering and babbling complaints. At this time, Ma Xiaoxiao's crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from the kitchen door. The voice is sweet and greasy, full of coquettishness.

As the voice sounded, Ma Xiaoxiao walked into the kitchen with brisk steps and a good mood.

Ma Datong looked at the happy smile on his granddaughter's face, and suddenly became angry. "I worked hard for most of the day, and in the end you took all the money I earned. You've also learned the Iron Rooster, and you've never pulled out a hair. What's even more annoying is that in the face of the threat of a hunger strike from an old man like me, he didn't remember the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren, and dared to maliciously ridicule. “

The more Ma Datong thought about it, the more angry he became, looking at Ma Xiaoxiao, who was smiling and in a good mood, he couldn't help but say angrily: "I don't have your meal today, I want to eat and cook it myself." Hum! After speaking, he picked up the iron shovel for stir-frying, and kept turning and pulling in the pot, knocking the iron pot clangling.

In the kitchen, the sound of tinkling stir-fry does not stop for a long time; vented the dissatisfaction in Ma Datong's heart. However, Ma Xiaoxiao was indifferent to this and did not change his face. He quickly set up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and poured a glass of old wine for Ma Datong diligently and early. Then, with a smile on his face, he sat down at the table and waited. Erlang's legs were cocked under the table, swaying from time to time.

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

Braised pork, bamboo shoots and mushrooms, home-cooked cold dishes, two fried hot dishes, and one cold dish were vigorously put on the table by Ma Datong. He sat opposite Ma Xiaoxiao in a sullen voice, his depressed face was as long as Changbai Mountain, and he didn't look at Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Hehe, grandpa, your cooking skills are getting better and better, in the future, our Yinlongguan can't support it, you can change careers to become a chef, it must be the kind that major restaurants are vying to hire with high salaries." This taste is simply the best delicacy in the world. ”

Ma Xiaoxiao took a piece of tender bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times with relish, and swallowed it with satisfaction. Then there was a look of surprise on his face, and he praised without hesitation.

"Is it so delicious? So how much do you think this dish is worth? ”

Ma Datong took a sip of old wine, the pure aroma of the wine, full of stamina, made Ma Datong can't help but make a 'zizi' sound in his mouth.

Ma Xiaoxiao received it without hesitation, "Just because the small bamboo shoots taste so refreshing, this plate of bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms will be sold for at least 188 yuan, otherwise I will be sorry for your cooking skills." ”

Suddenly!

The bamboo shoot stewed mushrooms in the center of the table were suddenly pushed to Ma Xiaoxiao by Ma Datong. "I didn't move a single bite of the price you set yourself. 188 yuan, give me the money, and you will leave the whole plate. After speaking, Ma Datong's face turned pale and continued to drink his own wine. Forehead? “

Looking at the plate that was pushed in front of him, Ma Xiaoxiao blinked his cute big eyes, and looked at Ma Datong with a surprised expression of discovering a new world. "Grandpa doesn't play cards according to the routine!" The invincible sugar-coated cannonball suddenly didn't work today, and Ma Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little novel.

Then, Ma Xiaoxiao's weird big eyes turned around a few times, and his stunned expression became relaxed again. The coquettish voice was squeamish, and the voice was so sweet that it made people feel tired, and said: "Grandpa~, what are you doing here." Those who open and close their mouths always talk about money, which hurts the relationship between us for so many years. ”

As he spoke, Ma Xiaoxiao's sweet voice suddenly turned, with a hint of hoarse sobbing and choking, and said, "Mom and Dad left us early, and it was you who pulled me up with a handful of and urine since I was a child." For so many years, it has always allowed me to live a carefree life. However, my granddaughter doesn't know when your hair started to turn gray slowly. Every time you smile kindly, the deep wrinkles on your face will rise, and my fragile heart can't help but tighten and ache faintly; Your tall and majestic back is also secretly hunched in the back that I can't see. Now that my granddaughter has seen it, she understands that it's time for me to honor you, I'm working hard now to save enough money for next year's tuition, and when I graduate, I will work hard to become a singer as soon as possible, and then earn a lot of money to support you. Grandpa, don't you be angry with Xiao Xiao because of Xiao Xiao's ignorance this afternoon, okay? You are the most important person in my life. “

In the end, Ma Xiaoxiao showed a pitiful look on his face, and the crystal tears kept rolling in his big eyes, and his eyes looked eagerly at Ma Datong's eyes. It seems that in the next moment, if Ma Datong shows a trace of determination, then Ma Xiaoxiao's tears will pour down like a.

Ma Datong's eyes were red when he heard this, his old eyes were shining brightly, and his voice said with a hint of trembling: "Child, our grandfather has relied on each other for so many years, and you are the most important treasure of grandpa." You are also sure that grandpa is soft-hearted, and he can't see my baby shed tears the most. Okay, you can keep the money from the sale of peace charms yourself, grandpa won't care about you. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly rejoiced, "It's successful." ”

However, before Ma Xiaoxiao could wait, he further shirked the sensationalism and persuaded Ma Datong to continue to help her sell peace charms.

I saw that Ma Datong, who was still deeply moved just now, continued to say: "But, you dead girl, you have been fooling me with this trick for more than half a month. No matter how soft-hearted your grandfather and I are, I won't be deeply moved after listening to a story more than a dozen times in a row. “

Ma Datong's tone of voice slowly became a little disgusting, "Ma Xiaoxiao, from today onwards, you don't want to get a benefit from me, hum!" “

Ma Xiaoxiao's tried and tested performances for half a month did not expect to suffer setbacks one after another today. It seems that his attitude towards Ma Datong this afternoon really angered him. Looking at his grandfather's iron-hearted expression, Ma Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pretend anymore. The voice suddenly rose a few notches, and said, "Okay, old horse, since everything has been said about this, it seems that today is going to completely tear your face." “

"Tear your face, tear your face, I'm afraid that you little girl won't make a piece, I'm your grandfather, what can you do to me. I haven't studied hard since I was a child, my grades are bad to death, and I was barely admitted to a third-rate art school, and I really think I can become a big star, dream about you. Ma Datong slapped the table domineeringly, imposing, and said with unremitting ridicule while flipping through the old accounts.

Ma Xiaoxiao was exposed by Ma Datong, a handsome little face, angry and purple, and a small silver tooth clucking. "I didn't study well, and it's not because you forced me to learn some messy exorcism. Even now, you still dare to talk about my poor academic performance. Saying that, Ma Xiaoxiao also hated from his heart, and he was angry: "Okay, you are my grandfather, I can't offend my elders." But don't forget, I, Ma Xiaoxiao, am the current head of the Ma family, and the one who has been recognized by the Ma family's guardian dragon. As your granddaughter, I can't do anything about you, but I am now the head of the Ma family, and I still have the right to teach you a lesson. "I'll punish you today, clean the Silver Dragon Tower, and keep the spirits of the ancestors of the Ma family. Hum! “

After speaking, Ma Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen door in a huff. Ma Datong, who had a tragic face, stood there stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. "He has to go to clean the Silver Dragon Tower every night, how did it get to Ma Xiaoxiao's mouth, but instead, she punished herself for doing this."
