066 Grandma

"Really? I suddenly think you're still quite discerning. I think our place is more beautiful than many famous ancient towns, but no one has developed it. As soon as I was delighted, I forgot the purpose of my homecoming, and I forgot my preconceptions about this person, and quickly chatted with him on a matter-of-fact basis.

He asked me a lot about the history of Panjia Town and the customs and folk customs here, so I told him those allusions and legends that I was familiar with since I was a child, and in the interval of the conversation, I couldn't help but mention my grandmother and uncle, as the most respected elder in the town, she treasured all the legends in the town, and the uncle often went to the countryside to see people in various villages in the early years, and knew the landform of the town very well.

When he heard me say this, he asked me with interest, "If so, can you let me meet your grandmother?" I want to have a good chat with the elderly, maybe this will become the first scenic spot I have developed. ”

This is great news for me and the whole town. I looked at Xing Feng's sincere face, and I forgot to think about how he came here suddenly, and only fantasized that one day the town of Panjia would become a famous tourist attraction, and the streets and alleys would be full of people.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, the sun was still nowhere to be seen, the crescent moon hung high in a clear sky, and the town instantly seemed to change into a thin moon-white coat, revealing a different kind of mystery in the tranquility.

"It's so beautiful......" Xing Feng drove slowly, and couldn't help but murmur softly.

"yes." I echoed faintly, with infinite joy hidden in my heart, and couldn't help but open the window, and stretched out my hand, trying to drag this hazy piece on my fingertips.

"Your fingers are slender and beautiful." He glanced over to me, then said.

I quickly shrank back, closed the window again, and said coldly, "No, my hands are the oldest of all girls of our age. ”

"No, it must be that they don't know how to appreciate." Xingfeng began to praise hypnotically again.

"Please don't praise me at every turn in the future! Otherwise I'll be angry! I couldn't help but think of the conversation with him before, and the unhappiness in my heart instantly welled up.

"Oh, sorry, okay, I'll pay attention later." Strangely no matter what I said, he didn't seem to be angry, but pandered again and again, smiling dumbly, as if he thought I was particularly naΓ―ve.

I was a little speechless, and I felt a little rude, maybe one day he really became the benefactor of our Pan family town, if so, no matter how bad this person is, I think I will put a big "good" on his notebook.

After all, Panjia Town is my hometown.

There are very few private cars in the small town of Panjia, and the most you can see here are motorcycles and four-wheeled trucks, so the two cars of Xingfeng are particularly conspicuous on the country roads. My family is not in the town, but in a village not far from the town, the name is also Panjia Village, and the people who live there are people surnamed Pan. At the entrance of the village, there is a grain drying field the size of a football field, which is used to dry rice during the annual rice harvest in the village. Now that spring had just begun, the area was empty, just enough to park, so I asked Xingfeng to park the car in a hidden place, and we walked to my grandmother's house.

There were a lot of people living around this venue, and everyone liked to gather in this venue during the slack period, or play poker, or play mahjong, and even three meals a day were brought from home to the venue to sit around and talk and laugh while eating, and there was a good neighborly and friendly situation here all year round. As soon as he got out of the car, many people came around, and Xingfeng's overly atmospheric sedan and his personable appearance made the people living around here explode. Everyone knew me, and while calling me by my nickname, they asked me who I was the man who drove me home. Only then did I realize in hindsight what an earth-shattering thing it was to return to the village with Xingfeng, and how many unnecessary misunderstandings and public opinion would be caused.

But it was too late at this time, and no matter how I explained it, everyone looked at me with that meaningful gaze, thinking that I had just gone to the provincial capital and caught a golden beetle son-in-law, and I was busy bringing it home. I blushed in the gossip of the villagers, and I didn't know what to do.

Xing Feng saw my embarrassment, and although he couldn't understand my native dialect, he could slightly guess what they were talking about based on everyone's expressions and tones. Xing Feng smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Hello, I am the boss of Xiaoshu. I heard her say that you have beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers here, so I came here with her to investigate. ”

One or two bold villagers shouted in broken Mandarin while eating with a bowl: "Are you here to propose?" The dowry of the girls in our Panjia Town is very high! ”

I was suddenly even more embarrassed, but Xing Feng smiled calmly, and then said, "I also hope to marry a girl here, but I don't know if there is such a good blessing." It's not too early, I'll accompany Xiaoshu to see her grandmother first, and I'll chat with you later when I'm free. ”

His pretended intimate tone made everyone laugh even more, and a lot of gossip drifted into my ears at this time:

"The third sister looks stupid, maybe she is the most promising!"

"This afterlife is good! Like a TV star! ”

"I think Mr. Pan has a blessing! It's good to have a daughter! ”

……

I was bored for a while, and I was unconsciously depressed when I saw him take out a large bag of gifts from the trunk, I was even more surprised, he clearly came prepared, where was it really for the investigation!

I was about to question, but I didn't want him to take the lead but said: "This was originally a gift to the leaders of your town, but the leaders of your town have an honest style, and they said that they would not accept the gifts, and they all returned them to me." It's a pity that I take it back, why don't you mention some supplements to honor your grandma, what do you think? ”

I was speechless, his rhetoric was reasonable and completely reasonable. What's more, people have the heart to give gifts, how can I have a reason to refuse, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. This style of punishment is too unpredictable.

I was suspicious in my heart, so I didn't talk to him all the way, and I led him through the long alley to my grandmother's house. My grandmother is over 70 years old, my grandfather has passed away for many years, and she lives alone in our old house.

As soon as Xing Feng saw this row of ancient houses, he was full of praise, saying that the structure of this house was quite ancient, well-preserved, and very valuable. I heard him tell the truth, and I was even more puzzled, is he really here for the exam? Am I thinking too much?

I shouted "Grandma", and Grandma quickly answered in the house and walked out. Since I was a child, I have been doing farm work all year round, so I often have my healthy grandmother as my companion, and I have been picking wild fruits, chopping firewood, and planting vegetables with her since I was very young, so I have the closest relationship with my grandmother among the four sisters. My grandmother treated me very closely, and she always affectionately called me "stupid" in my hometown, which was purely an intimacy between my ancestors and my younger generations, without the slightest irony.

The moment I saw my grandmother, I almost burst into tears, I walked up quickly, and my grandmother held my hand tightly, and her eyes were full of tears: "Stupid, you've lost a lot of weight." ”

I burst into tears, I couldn't help but hug my grandmother's thin body, and my grandmother greeted me for a while, and my grandmother pulled me into the house and said to cook noodles for me to eat, and I reminded my grandmother that there was still a person standing behind her.

In this way, under my introduction, my grandmother warmly entertained me and Xingfeng. The grandmother, who had already cooked the noodles and was ready to start the meal, saw that there were guests at home, so she insisted on tossing and cooking a few dishes to entertain Xingfeng.

This is the usual rule in the village to treat the guests, once every family comes, they must bring out the best food and wine in the house. Although grandma lives alone, but on weekdays, the uncle and father often buy some chicken, duck and fish meat to send over, grandma can't eat it alone, so she often pickles and air-dried it and stores it, and when it is taken out and fried with garlic and chili, it becomes an authentic delicacy.

That night, I helped my grandmother make a fire, and she put on an apron and started stir-frying on the small stove. During the process, my grandmother and I were chatting and laughing, and Xing Feng sat not far away looking at us, and when my grandmother and I laughed, Xing Feng would also laugh with him, even though he couldn't understand what my grandmother and I were talking about.

That night, grandma fried a total of four dishes, one stir-fried beef, one stir-fried hare meat, one fried eggplant, and one steamed bacon. Later, he insisted on telling me to go to the small shop in the village to buy a bottle of wine, and asked me to call my uncle and my father to eat and drink with the convict. As was customary, my grandmother only let my uncle and father accompany me when she was entertaining distinguished guests, so I understood that my grandmother was very enthusiastic about Xingfeng's arrival, even though she didn't ask me anything.

I called my uncle, but I didn't dare to call my father, and my grandmother saw my hesitation, so she said to me, "You call, I'll tell your father." ”

In this way, the uncle and the father came to the grandmother's house one after another. As soon as the uncle entered the house, he warmly shook hands with Xing Feng and handed over cigarettes to say hello, and soon chatted hotly. As soon as my father entered the room, he first glanced at me sharply, and then saw Xingfeng, and probably wondered how there was one more person in the room, so he didn't have time to take care of me for the time being, so he moved a stool to the table and chatted with Xingfeng and the uncle.
