CHAPTER XXIV

When she went to school the next day, Zhao Cangping brought her two loquat trees.

The roots of the two little trees were carefully wrapped in straw ropes in clods of earth, and they looked so vigorous that they had grown as tall as hers, and on the thumb-thick poles hung twenty or thirty leaves with a fleece on the back.

This made Su Qingtong, who was beaten last night, in a very good mood and very happy.

Zhao Cangping said: "This is the loquat tree that my father dug up from a friend's house yesterday, didn't you make a noise to find fruit seedlings everywhere some time ago?" I took it to heart and asked my father to bring you two from a friend's house. ”

Su Qingtong was moved, and had a feeling of being taken seriously: "Thank you!" ”

Zhao Cangping smiled indifferently: "What is there to thank for this?" It's just a gesture, and besides, you often give me something to eat, and I'm embarrassed if I don't help you. ”

Su Qingtong has not been short of snacks to eat since she became rich selling vegetables, and naturally she has Zhao Cangping when she eats snacks at school, she not only gives it to Zhao Cangping, but also to other female classmates, but only Zhao Cangping knows that there is always something different between people.

Su Qingtong smiled and said, "If you help me because of snacks, it's too simple." As he spoke, he took out a bag of cakes, a box of biscuits, and a bag of White Rabbit toffee from his schoolbag and said, "These are all for you." ”

Zhao Cangping was completely stupid, staring blankly at the snacks stuffed into her desk and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This is too much, too much, I can't stuff it in my drawer, how can your schoolbag hold so many things, I can't see it at all." ”

Where did Su Qingtong take it out of the schoolbag, but it was taken out of the space under the guise of the schoolbag, and when she saw Zhao Cangping's suspicions, she was shocked to realize that she was a little happy and carried away.

Quickly explained: "My schoolbag is big, so I can hold more things." By the way, you can bring these things back when you go home for dinner at noon, and remember to thank your dad for me. ”

Zhao Cangping said embarrassedly: "You are so polite, I understand what you mean, as soon as I get home, I will hand over the things you gave me to my mother, and then let them help you find other fruit trees." ”

Su Qingtong hurriedly smiled and nodded, "That's what I meant." ”

Su Qingtong looked for fruit saplings everywhere, originated from passing by a peach tree in full bloom, she picked a branch to play because she liked it, and when she got home, she easily planted this branch in the pond of the space, who knew that soon after, this peach blossom actually came to life, and it grew into a decent small tree, and more flowers bloomed.

If so, she began to look for fruit trees to plant in the space, seeing that there are already pomegranates, peach trees, pears, plums, plums, which is why she resolutely pulled out vegetables and watermelons, she plans to go to C market to sell fruits this summer, it is best to find a big customer like Uncle Huang Zhixin, and also help her distribute fruits.

Her space was short of loquats, and she didn't expect Zhao Cangping to be such a friend and find two plants for her.

After school, Su Qingtong did what he didn't finish yesterday, not only stripped all the vegetable soil in front of the house, but also pulled out the grass in the vegetable soil in the back mountain, and didn't go home until it was completely dark.

At this time, the parents and younger siblings had already eaten, and there was only half a bowl of cold spring cabbage on the table, with a thin layer of grease.

Su Qingtong was tired for a long time, he was really hungry, and he didn't bother to find a chance to go into the space to eat, so he ate all the leftovers left by his mother.

It wasn't until late at night that Su Qingtong had the opportunity to enter the space and sit in the pool water to recuperate.

The scenery of the space is getting better and better, it is when the fruit trees are blooming and the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, the red and white stamens are rippling in the breeze, and they fall in the pond from time to time, which reminds her of a more sad word 'flowers float and water flows', but it is her turn to make the space more suitable for the occasion 'idle flowers shine and fall shadows', which is also as beautiful as poetry and picturesque.

On the third day of the third lunar month, Su Qingtong exchanged glutinous rice early, soaked it in water the next night, and then instigated his younger brothers and sisters to ask his mother for two yuan to buy ingredients for the festival.

It didn't take long for her to go home with several catties of vegetables and a catty of meat, which surprised Wang Xuelian, she didn't expect that she would buy so many things for two yuan, but the eldest daughter has always been a person who can live.

As soon as Su Qingtong got home, he quickly ground the soaked glutinous rice into a pulp, then wrapped it in gauze and hung it, and after the water was drained, he used glutinous rice to wrap the glutinous rice balls and eat them.

When Su Qingtong was grinding glutinous rice milk, he picked a basin of wormwood from the pond in the space and chopped it up, squeezed out the juice and mixed half of the glutinous rice, and then the glutinous rice balls had two flavors, one was original, the other was wormwood-flavored, and the white and green ones looked very good when boiled.

It was the first time for my family to eat such a new thing, and it tasted so good, and they all ate very happily.

Su Xiuqian likes to eat these things, and while he was eating delicious rice balls, he asked Su Qingtong strangely: "Where did you learn to make these things?" ”

The reason why Su Qingtong did this was because she knew that her father liked to eat, but she couldn't explain it to her father, couldn't she say that she learned it from the distant wife that Zhou Zhengshan married a few years later? Isn't that when she's insane or a monster?

She had no choice but to prevaricate and say, "That's what Grandma did on Wednesday in the doorhouse." ”

Su Xiuqian stopped talking, in his memory, Grandma Wednesday would make these traditional snacks on March 3 and Lixia every year, but the taste was not as good as at home, and he thought, maybe he hadn't eaten it for a long time, so he felt that it was better to make it at home.

After Su Qingtong ate, she put a large pot of boiled rice balls in an iron pot and sent them over the mountains and mountains to her grandmother's house, and it was only three or four hundred meters from home to her grandmother's house, and it was closer to the mountain, and her child's footsteps were only ten minutes.

Su Qingtong is now walking very fast, sometimes even she arrives at her destination unconsciously, perhaps because she often goes to Qingxi Town to deliver food, every time she has to rush to deliver food, and then miss the last train to walk home, so she slowly walks faster and faster.

Grandpa sat in front of the square table in the kitchen smoking hookah, the long copper cigarette mouth from time to time came out of the blue and white choking smoke, the room was a little dark and damp, and the sun outside is a completely different feeling, just walked in the moment, just eased the heat under the sun, giving people a comfortable shade.

Su Qingtong looked at the face of the old man hidden in the smoke, as if watching a yellowed old movie, and his grandfather was a blurred image in his mottled memory.

"Grandpa!" She called softly, full of some indescribable feeling, it's so good, the relatives she likes are there.

Ji Manye looked at his sweaty granddaughter and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" Hurry up and put it on the stool, you are sweating profusely, are you tired? ”

Su Qingtong knew that her grandfather was the one who really loved her, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm not tired, have you had lunch?" ”

Ji Manye had already smelled the fragrance of glutinous rice, and said with a smile: "We haven't eaten yet, what delicious food have you sent us?" ”

Su Qingtong replied with a smile: "It's glutinous rice balls, and my mother said that my grandfather likes to eat these things, so let me send some over." ”

Ji Manye showed a relieved smile, he always knew that his daughter was filial to him, no, he even remembered to make a rice ball on March 3 and sent it to him, but he forgot that this was the first time that his daughter gave him rice balls on March 3 after more than ten years of marriage.

Su Qingtong put the pot on the stove, then took out a bowl from the cupboard and filled it with rice balls for his grandfather, handed it to him and said, "Grandpa, it's hot, you hurry up and eat a bowl while it's hot." ”

Ji Manye took the dishes and chopsticks handed to him by his granddaughter, and he was almost burned, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are too hot, you almost burned your grandfather's old teeth." ”

Su Qingtong couldn't help but be happy: "Then you blow and blow and eat, I moved it over just after it came out of the pot, I thought it was cold, I didn't expect it to be so hot, you have to be careful." ”

Ji Manye exhaled, he also happened to be a little hungry, a mouthful of glutinous rice balls into his mouth, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his daughter's glutinous rice balls this time were made to a level, and the taste was surprisingly good, and a bowl of rice balls was eaten by him so unconsciously.

Su Qingtong was about to add something to him, but Ji Manye hurriedly stopped him and said: "You can't eat too much, I can't digest it if I eat too much, you send some to your uncle and aunt, they are tired these days, and let them eat fresh and hot things." ”

Su Qingtong didn't expect that the first thing that her grandfather thought of would be her uncle and aunt, who had separated from the family, in fact, she also planned the uncle's share, and there was one more thing that needed to be certified.

In her previous life, her aunt miscarred a baby boy in this season, and she was the only baby boy she had ever conceived in her life.

If the eldest aunt is pregnant, she should remind her to take good care of the baby.

Su Qingtong took out a big bowl from the cupboard and sent it over, his uncle's house was cooking, and when he saw Su Qingtong coming in with a big bowl, he asked her in surprise: "What are you holding?" ”

Su Qingtong smiled and brought the steaming hot rice balls to his aunt Wen Yulan and said, "Uncle, this is the rice balls sent by our family, my grandfather asked me to send some over, don't cook first, it's not too late to eat the rice balls and then continue to cook." ”

Wen Yulan glanced at the fragrant rice balls in the big bowl, and couldn't help but secrete strong saliva in her mouth, but said with a flat smile on her face: "If we eat the rice balls you sent, our rice will be cooked in vain." ”

"Just make less, it's rare for us to deliver a hot meal, don't waste it."

Wen Yulan smiled lightly, this niece told the truth, my sister's family really rarely gave it to her, she looked down at the white and green rice balls, they were very good-looking, and before she could look carefully, she was pulled by Su Qingtong to the table and sat down, and had already stuffed the spoon into her hand.

Wen Yulan scooped up a grain and tasted it, the taste is delicate, fragrant, sweet just right, the white one also has some osmanthus fragrance, the green one is refreshing and refreshing, it is really delicious, and this craft is also unique.

Su Qingtong secretly looked at her aunt who was eating, remembering that the reason why her aunt had a miscarriage in her previous life was because she bent down and moved three brick embryos, and her grandmother said that she was destined to have no children, what if she kept it carefully? Will it rewrite the fate of my uncle's elderly orphans?

Thinking of this, she whispered to her aunt, "Auntie, I had a dream about you and my uncle, do you want to listen to it?" ”
