Carrying the blood pressure medicine that Grandma Du asked for when he returned home, before he walked up the hillside, Lan Shuying saw a kind old man with kind eyes standing in front of the house.

Grandma Du was wearing an army green jacket and holding a set of pink thick cotton home clothes in her arms, and greeted her happily and shouted in a loud voice: "What did Xiaojun eat at noon, are you hungry?" Whatever you want to eat at night, grandma will cook it for you! ”

She pulled Lan Shuying into the house, and the rare air conditioner blew warm air, and the whole room was hot.

The thick cotton suit was also stuffed into Lan Shuying's hand.

The old man turned around and made her a cup of warm sugar water while thinking about it.

Probably parents will feel that their children are wearing less, this outfit has obviously just been exposed to the sun not long ago, it smells very comfortable, soft and warm to the touch.

Lan Shuying took a few sips of the sugar water, she couldn't get used to it, but she didn't show it, and then obediently took off her coat and replaced it with the set prepared by Grandma Du.

The old man was even happier, and pulled her to ask about her recent experience at school, and asked her several times just if she had been wronged in the restaurant.

It can be seen that Grandma Du is very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Because Du Xianjun grew up with her, she is a sweetheart here, and when she arrives at her daughter-in-law, she is cold-eyed all day long, and she can't help but listen to those harsh words. The old man goes to the house less, but what kind of person is the daughter-in-law, how can she be satisfied with her heart like a mirror?

"Your dad said that now that the school is expanding, there are more people nearby, and the restaurant business is very good, he wants to take me over to live and let me close the tofu shop."

Grandma Du is very reluctant, this tofu workshop is handed down from ancestors, the scale is getting smaller and smaller, fortunately, the skills are not lost, or the old taste of the ancient recipe, very popular with the villagers.

The problem is that she is getting older, and she doesn't make as much tofu as she used to, although it is still popular, but there are not many money left to make money without water and electricity, and what supports her to the present is probably the piece that is worthy of the ancestors' hearts.

"And what does Grandma think?"

Grandma Du sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and said, "I don't want to retire, we have hands and feet, and we haven't reached the age of lying on the bed and waiting for others to serve, so we can't take money for nothing and look at people's faces." ”

Lan Shuying knew exactly what she was referring to:

If the tofu shop is closed, Grandma Du's source of livelihood will have to be pumped from the restaurant, Lao Du doesn't care about the account, and usually buys through Du's mother's relationship network, so it will inevitably be angry with Du's mother.

Grandma Du has been strong all her life, and the old man was fascinated by her style as an iron lady, and despite the discussion of the villagers, he came in to help her take care of the tofu workshop. After the old man's death, she single-handedly pulled her son up, and there was no reason to endure her daughter-in-law's mean face when she was old.

Grandma Du said a few more words, meaning that she wanted to open the tofu factory in the city, while she was still able to do it, save more money, and the money for her granddaughter's college education in the future would come out of her, so that she didn't have to suffer from that woman's eyes.

Hearing this, Lan Shuying's heart softened, and she also had an idea, and asked Grandma Du about the production steps and price.

The Du family does have a secret to making tofu.

Du Xianjun has long verified this with personal experience.

When she was at home, she didn't feel special, and when she walked out of the mountains, she tasted a mouthful of tofu outside the school cafeteria, and spit it out as soon as she entered her mouth, and it felt like it was not as good as the bean dregs used to feed the pigs at home.

Soybeans are grown by the people in the village themselves, and Grandma Du has long bought raw materials from the old sisters, and the water used is the mountain spring water that comes down from the mountainside, without a machine, and the whole process is completed by hand, from refining to the finished product, it takes six or seven hours at a time.

The final tofu has a good taste, positive color, and a strong bean aroma, which is delicious to cook.

Grandma Du inquired with people and said that the tofu in the city could be sold for five or six yuan a catty, which was twice as high as her current price. But because the old lady had never gone out a few times in her life, she was not familiar with the place, and she heard that the façade was expensive and it was difficult to get a certificate, so she didn't dare to leave.

"You girl, you haven't spoken for a long time, what do you think?"

Grandma Du was sad for a while, and she was fine, and teased her in turn.

Lan Shuying smiled and said frankly: "Thinking about how to open a tofu shop for grandma." ”

These words made the old lady laugh, and she just told her to study hard, and don't worry about adult affairs.

But I didn't know that she was serious about it.

The hurdle in front of her is the same as if she wanted to get more food to replenish her blood and qi, and the difficulty lies in the fact that it is difficult to pass the money level.

Lan Shuying's gaze fell on the back mountain unconsciously.

Her pharmacology is very good, and she also has some superficial skills, maybe she can try her luck, maybe she can bring some valuable medicinal herbs out.

Of course, this matter must be hidden from Grandma Du.

She stayed at home for one night, and the next day she had to go back early to review under the pretext that she was about to take the monthly exam, and left the house in Grandma Du's reluctant eyes.

On the way to the entrance of the village, he also collided with Han Lifei - he stayed here last night, and today he got up early in the morning to visit Grandma Du.

"Going back to school?"

Han Lifei's eyes clearly wrote, don't forget to persuade Meng Qingguang.

Lan Shuying nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Han, don't worry, I will do my best to do what I promised." ”

The other party breathed a long sigh of relief, thanked him again, and went to find Grandma Du with the gift.

In winter, the day dawned later, and there were few people on the dirt road at this time, Lan Shuying walked a short distance of mountain road, seeing that there was no one nearby, and turned to the trail in a flash, and walked in the direction of the back mountain.

She paid close attention to see if there were any medicinal herbs nearby, but she couldn't find any harvest after walking far away, just like the medicinal herbs here had just been looted not long ago.

At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, blowing through the heart.

Lan Shuying subconsciously blocked her eyes and turned her head sideways, and suddenly, she saw something between her fingers!

She stared at it, the corners of her lips pursed.

It was a wild orchid.

It withstands the low temperatures of early winter and swaggers in the wind.

The vitality of wild orchids is often very tenacious, because most of them have a thick layer of rotten leaves underneath, and the mountain soil has ground temperature, so even at this time, the flowers are not afraid of freezing to death when they grow in the low temperature in the wild.

There are poems: the cliff is a thousand feet, and the orchids are in the sky. There are woodcutters below, and they can't break their hands.

This orchid is not so tall that it is out of reach, but it takes a lot of effort to pick it, and if you are not careful, you may fall down, and then you can't hold the flower, and you may have to put on your arms and legs, or even a small life.

Lan Shuying approached to take a look, and suddenly paused.

There are footprints left by other people in the vicinity.

She stopped, and the surroundings fell silent.

Without the sound of footsteps and the grinding of clothes that interfered with her judgment, the breath behind her was much more obvious.

Seeing that she didn't move, the man also knew that he had been discovered, so he simply strode forward: "Little girl, first come, first served, this orchid has its owner, you go back!" ”
