Chapter 524: Happiness and Unhappiness
After the end, when he returned to his grandmother's house again, Xiao Mubai's mood was much calmer, at least on the surface, it looked much better.
When I went back, it was a little late, but it was only four o'clock in the afternoon and it was not yet five o'clock, but I didn't expect that my grandmother had already gotten up from bed, and people in their seventies ran to the kitchen to cook, still dumplings filled with eggs and leeks.
"Grandma, don't run around." Xiao Mubai couldn't cry or laugh.
Grandma was not happy when she heard this, and said: "The Hong Kong actor who plays the White Lady, the one named Zhao Yazhi, is still running around in his sixties." There is also that Liu Xiaoqing, who is also in his sixties and has been acting, what's wrong with my activities? ”
"Grandma, don't listen to him, it's better to be active and exercise." Xiao Ya glanced at him, covering her mouth and snickering while making dumplings.
Xiao Mubai glared at her, and the clinker's action was seen by her grandmother, and she immediately pulled Xiao Ya to speak, and ignored him, but muttered in her mouth: "I know that Brother Mu likes to eat my dumplings, and Shaoxing will not stay for long, you leave this time, I don't know how long it will take to eat my dumplings." ”
As soon as he heard this, he immediately stopped talking, grandma is old, looking at the older and younger, they are all going ahead of her step by step, and it is inevitable that he will be sad in his heart, and he probably thinks of the future.
"Okay, grandma, I'll eat, I'll eat two big plates, can't you?"
The leeks have already been cut, the squares are neat and neat, and the scrambled eggs are oily but not greasy, and the brown is evenly distributed on the egg yolk protein, which looks extremely delicious. Ming Ming took a bite secretly, was discovered by the sharp-eyed grandmother, slapped his hand, and ran away in fright.
"This kid is really uncomfortable. It's good to be a girl, a girl knows how to respect the elderly. Seeing this, grandma smiled and praised Xiao Ya.
Xiao Mubai didn't dare to talk, he heard that his grandmother had something to say, and it seemed to be talking about him.
The dumpling skin has been done, and grandma makes the northern dumpling wrapping method, the dumpling skin is rolled into a large gnocchi with a rolling pin, and then cut into square squares with a kitchen knife, which is much easier than rolling a little dough one by one.
Stir the leeks and eggs together, add some lard, and without adding lean meat, the dumpling filling is ready.
Xiao Ya interned for two months, worked hard, and ate canteens and working meals for most of the year, and it was rare to cook by herself at this time, and she was very happy. She is not a lady who doesn't eat minced meat, she does all the housework at home, and she is not a problem making dumplings.
Grandma has been cooking for most of her life, and she has wrapped more dumplings than Xiao Mubai has ever seen, although she is old, she is not slow, and she is faster than the young and energetic Xiao Ya. Not only are the dumplings varied, but also round and full, Xiao Ya's is slightly inferior.
Xiao Mubai stayed aside to boil the water, the fire was more violent, and soon the water boiled and began to make dumplings.
For four people's meals, grandma Mingming Xiao Ya can't eat much, the most important person is Xiao Mubai, he can eat three people alone. There were fifty dumplings in one pot, twenty of which were contracted by him, and the other three were ten each, and they were almost finished eating.
Another pot, this pot, Xiao Mubai ate thirty, Ming Ming was full and ran away, and grandma didn't eat either, just watched him and Xiao Ya eat, smiling happily.
"Grandma, why don't you eat it?"
"Grandma likes to watch you eat when she's full."
Grandma looked at him with a smile, her eyes were a little confused, recalling the past, her thoughts flew far away, and she said slowly: "Before you go to school in Hangzhou, it is the time when you are twelve or thirteen years old to grow your body. I was hungry after class one day, and I couldn't wait for the food to be cold before eating, gobbling it up and swallowing it in my mouth, grinning hot. ”
"Ten years have passed." She sighed.
Hearing her say this, Xiao Mubai remembered that he was almost eleven or twelve years old when he was in the first year of junior high school, and now it has just been almost ten years. Ten years have passed, and there can be several decades in life.
As if seeing it reminded him of it, Grandma immediately woke up and said something else to divert his attention.
"Do you remember Han Kang?" Grandma said, seeing that he was a little dazed, and only remembered after a while, and continued: "Remembered, right? When you were in elementary school and junior high school, you had a very good relationship with him, climbing trees and digging birds' nests, going down to the river to fish, secretly smoking, and going to fights. ”
"Han Kang, he's a waste now!" Grandma sighed heavily.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Mubai didn't feel very good when he heard it, and immediately asked. Han Kang's guy is his classmate in elementary school and junior high school, and the two have a good relationship, which can be said to be a pair of pants. But after he left Shaoxing to go to school in Hangzhou, there was less contact, and later after going to college, the contact was even more broken after changing his mobile phone.
Thinking of his former friends, now things are wrong, Xiao Mubai feels inexplicably uncomfortable.
Grandma didn't want to say anything, just diverted his attention, but seeing that he was eagerly asking, she couldn't bear his grind, thought about it, felt that it was not a big deal, and told him that there would be no problems, and then sighed helplessly and said, "He has entered a pyramid scheme." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Mubai's heart sank. He also knows that MLM is powerful, and some classmates have been in it before, and it was not easy to come out.
Grandma said it when she saw it, and then she confided in everything in one hundred and fifty ten.
Xiao Mubai listened and listened, and gradually understood what happened to Han Kang. There are also many revelations on the Internet, there are many kinds of pyramid schemes, fund-raising fraud, brainwashing, illegal detention, violent control, and so on. What Han Kang encountered was violently controlled, and he had called the police, but there was no news for a long time.
Han Kang was not admitted to the undergraduate program, he just spent money to go to a junior college, and when he was interning in his junior year, a classmate called him over and said that he had a good job, and his destination was Beihai. He had a good relationship with that classmate, a buddy in the bunk beds in high school. At that time, he was short of money and really wanted to find a job, so he went.
Who thought that as soon as it passed, he was controlled by someone and called his family to ask for money. The family spent money to buy him the opportunity to go to college, but the money was emptied. If they don't get money, they won't let people go, so they will brainwash.
Han Kang is also smart, and when he saw that he couldn't escape first, he pretended to be brainwashed and listened to lectures every day, and later even had to hand in his name in order to gain trust. The name of the MLM organization is very simple, the brothers and sisters sleep together, and when they sleep together, they are a family.
He gained the trust of the leader, and finally got a chance to go out and let off steam, he didn't dare to think too much about whether it was the leader's temptation, he called the police directly, and immediately called the police to escape.
It's a pity that he underestimated the cunning of the MLM boss. A core member of a pyramid scheme organization disguised as a taxi driver, he got into the tiger's mouth as soon as he got into the car. The police have opened a case for investigation, but unfortunately, there has been no movement.
No, the news has spread to Shaoxing, and I don't know what happened in the past three months.
After eating, when he left, Xiao Ya saw that his expression was calm, and she was a little worried. She hadn't asked about PMC yet, and she had a hunch that he was a combatant doing the most dangerous work, not a non-combatant, otherwise how could he have such a high salary.
Looking at the posture he had just asked about his grandmother, he had a feeling that he was ready to go to Han Kang, which made her even more worried, shouldn't the pyramid scheme be handed over to the police to deal with, and she had to be involved.
"You don't want to go to the North Sea, okay? I beg you. Xiao Ya looked at him with a pleading face.
