Chapter 165: Mind
Grandpa Lin smiled and didn't speak. To be honest, Lin Shuang is the first third generation of their Lin family to be born. Although Grandma Lin has been looking forward to a white and chubby grandson, her love for Lin Shuang is not less than half a point. It can be said that before coming forward, Lin Shuang spent most of his time with the second elder of the Lin family.
"Didn't Shuangshuang talk about grass drying? I took some and sent it over. "Speaking of which, the old man still misses his granddaughter. I didn't go back to the village much in the third year of junior high school, so I lived in the village for a few days during the Chinese New Year. After the third year of junior high school, it is the first year of high school, the homework is tighter, and there is no time to run back to see the old people. No, there was no way, so I had to use the excuse of sending something to come over to see my granddaughter.
Liu Xiaoying settled the two of them. A cup of hot tea is poured for one person. Start looking at things. As soon as she looked at something, Liu Xiaoying's heart was sour. There are large and small packages, not only dried vegetables such as dried grass and long bean curd. There are also self-grown steamed rice cakes and steamed buns. This kind of thing, even if Liu Xiaoying is in the prime of life, it is very difficult to carry it.
"Mom, so many things. Hello, call Lin Zhihong to go back and get it. It's so heavy, wait a little bit and you'll let me look at your shoulder. See if you want to use a hot towel. Liu Xiaoying put everything in place and began to prepare dinner. Originally, I planned to fry a spicy chicken that Lin Shuang liked, then stir-fry chicken offal with green peppers, stir-fry a Chinese cabbage, and stir-fry an egg soup. But thinking that the two old men are rare. Liu Xiaoying asked Lin Zhihong to buy another fish, remove the egg soup, and replace it with crucian carp soup. Burn it a little lighter, and let the two old men drink more.
When Lin Shuang, who came back for dinner in the evening, saw his grandmother standing at the door of the store waiting for her, Lin Shuang pounced at once. When he was a child, Lin Shuang liked to hug his grandmother's waist the most, burying his whole face on his grandmother's belly, smelling the fragrance of his grandmother's body, and feeling very peaceful.
Now Lin Shuangchang has surpassed grandma's height, can't hug his waist, now hug his neck, and then bury his face in grandma's neck, smelling the smell of grandma, Lin Shuang still feels very reassured: "Grandma, how did you come." I miss you guys! ”
Looking at Lin Shuang's slimy appearance, Grandpa Lin was a little jealous, and he couldn't help coughing. As soon as he coughed, Lin Shuang knew. Let go of Grandma Lin, ran over and held Grandpa Lin's hand and walked to the store: "Grandpa, grandma, let's go in." It's too cold outside. Hot spots in the house. ”
As soon as she entered the house, Grandma Lin was busy. Show Lin Shuang all the things he brought one by one: "Sister, I have collected so many dried vegetables first, I'm afraid you will use them in a hurry." When I collect more, I'll send it over. And this bun, which is your favorite bean paste bun. There are also a few steamed buns with radish and pork filling. ”
"Grandma is so nice! In the Ming Dynasty, when I got up early, I was good at steamed buns (the meaning of steaming) and a bowl of white porridge. "If it weren't for the fact that this bean paste bun is cold now, Lin Shuang would have wanted to eat one now. Seriously, if you steam steamed buns once a year, you can't eat enough.
"I just know I like this." Grandma Lin packed up the things on display again. Grandpa Lin stood on the side and looked at them, looking at them, the old and the young, you and me, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be erased.
Liu Xiaoying saw Lin Zhihong coming in from outside, so she hurriedly greeted: "Mom, Daddy." We're eating! "There are already side dishes on the dining table in the house. Crucian carp tofu soup is stewed milky white, and a little green green onion floats on top of the soup, which makes the soup more spiritual. The two dishes of beer spicy chicken and green pepper chicken offal are delicious at first glance. There are also two vegetarian dishes, one is fried cabbage and the other is fried cabbage. Four dishes and one soup, five people can eat enough.
After dinner, Lin Shuang ran away, and he didn't wait for anyone to rest at night.
Looking at the little lady who went to class in a hurry, the Lin family's grandmother was in pain: "Xiaoying, you buy some good food every day, why is it so hard to study now." I have to go to school in the evening. ”
Grandpa Lin also nodded: "Yes, reading day and night like this, if you don't eat better, your body can't bear it." For Lin Shuang, Grandpa Lin has great expectations, looking forward to Lin Shuang becoming the first college student of the Lin family. Speaking of which, Grandpa Lin and Dad Lin are both a generation that has been delayed.
Lin Zhihong went to junior high school, but he failed to graduate and failed to enter high school. Because he is a descendant of a landowner. Speaking of which, this is also an unexplainable topic. Grandpa Lin's mother bought a few pieces of land when she was young, but later the land did not reach Grandpa Lin's hands, but took on the name of a landlord's descendant, and Lin Zhihong failed to be admitted to high school because of this. Lin Zhihong's words are very beautiful, and his grades are among the best, but no matter how good he is, it is useless, in that era, everything depends on the family composition. If the ingredients are not good, nothing will be in vain.
Therefore, the expectations of the two generations were placed on Lin Shuang's shoulders. However, it now seems that if nothing changes, this expectation can become a reality. After staying for one night, the second elder was sent back by Lin Zhihong. There are still preparations for the New Year at home.
"Old woman, when spring begins, you can catch a few more chickens. Get a few more ducks, too. You know. "The bus stopped at the edge of the platform at the entrance of the village. When he got out of the car, Grandpa Lin began to talk straight to himself.
"I know, old man, I don't want you to tell me, I want to know too. My sister is studying hard now, so she has to make up for it. Tell me that it's only the first year of high school now, and there are still more than two years to suffer. When I saw my sister yesterday, my face was getting thinner. After Lin Shuang came back from his rest at more than nine o'clock at night, he brushed up on the questions for a while before going to sleep. It was nearly twelve o'clock when I went to bed. The old man slept lightly, although when Lin Shuang came back, he had already relaxed his hands and feet, but the old people still felt it.
"Reading is not so easy. Anyway, you can raise more chickens and ducks. Send a few baby chickens on dog days. When the eggs at home were enough, I sent them to my sister to eat. It's always better to keep it at home than to buy it outside. "Grandpa Lin felt that when spring begins, he will be able to go to activities. Mend the fishing nets at home now, and try it when spring begins. Wild fish are better than artificially raised fish.
The two old men walked slowly all the way home. When I met people in the village on the way, Grandma Lin always replied happily: "Yesterday, I went to the city with the old man to see my son and granddaughter." "The people in the village praised the old couple for their good fortune. Children are promising.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw Lin Meiru waiting at the door of the house, and as soon as I saw the two of them, I shouted: "Mom, Daddy, where have you been?" I've been waiting for a while. If you don't come back, I'll be gone!" ”
Grandma Lin felt that it was right to only let her son send her son to the car, otherwise the two would be right, and it would not be good to help either of them.
