Chapter 333: Remembering Hometown

"It's old, and it's not okay to be old. Let's go, it's time to go back. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked outside the cemetery.

Sang Zhi turned his head and glanced at the tombstone again, and thought silently in his heart, great-grandmother, great-grandfather, I am your great-granddaughter-in-law, you must bless me to give birth to a boy and a half girl to the family, so as to continue the incense of the old family!

Mulberry branches are not superstitious, but since they came, they learned from many people and chatted in front of the graves of their ancestors, and there was no harm in doing it anyway.

Men Shaoting followed Men Guangrong's footsteps and walked out two steps, looked back, only to see that Sang Zhi had not yet followed, frowned, turned back, took her hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

An old man and a young man came out of the cemetery together.

When passing by the old man's hut at the door, the old man poked his head out of the window, looked at the door and smiled gloriously: "Brother, go back?" ”

Men Guangrong nodded, "Well, go back, the two juniors are not at ease, they chased it out, and the time is not early, so I will go back." ”

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Brother is so blessed, go slowly." ”

The door was glorious and waved goodbye to the old man.

It was still Men Shaoting who was driving, Sang Zhi and the old man were sitting in the back seats, Men Guangrong looked at them and couldn't help but smile, and said: "Are you worried that my old man will not be able to think about it for a while when he retires from the army, so he came over, right?" ”

Sang Zhi stuck out his tongue naughtily towards the old man and said, "How can there be, how could a person as broad-minded as grandpa not think about it." I really just want to come and pay my respects to my ancestors. ”

Sang Zhi said, suddenly touched his stomach, and said with some embarrassment: "Men Shaoting, I'm hungry again." Why don't we find a place to eat, what kind of food do you like to eat, grandpa? ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the door glorious.

Sang Zhi thought, the old man came out earlier than them, so if you count the time, you shouldn't have had lunch yet, right?

Although the old man didn't say it, it is estimated that he must be a little hungry.

And she obviously ate a big bowl of noodles at noon, but I don't know if it was because she came to the cemetery to exercise a lot, and she really felt a little hungry at this time.

Men Shaoting glanced at her in the rearview mirror, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Didn't you just eat at noon?" Hungry again so soon? ”

It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to take her and her grandfather to dinner, it's just that Men Shaoting knows the habits of the old man, and generally he is not willing to eat any food from restaurants outside except for his family and the army. Even when he met Sangzhi's parents for the first time, in the restaurant, the old man only ate a few symbolic bites, and he was not full at all.

"Grandpa, are you hungry, why don't you let Zhizhi call my mother and ask her to prepare food for you in advance."

Men Shaoting didn't quite believe that Sang Zhi was really hungry, thinking that she was probably worried that her grandfather would be hungry if he didn't eat lunch, so she automatically ignored Sang Zhi's suggestion to find a place to eat first.

Sang Zhi glared at him with some dissatisfaction, looked at the door with a small mouth, and said, "Grandpa, are you really unwilling to eat outside?" I know there is a Northeast style restaurant, and the food is very good, how about we go eat and try it? ”

When Men Shaoting heard Sang Zhi's words, she couldn't help but be a little worried, estimating that her enthusiasm would be ruthlessly extinguished by the old man's habits.

But unexpectedly, Men Guangrong gladly agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go to that Northeast restaurant to eat."

Sang Zhi raised his hand happily and cheered, and did not forget to glance at the door Shaoting proudly.

Men Shaoting was a little depressed in his heart, he didn't expect that the old man was really used to this woman, and he could agree to this, which really subverted his knowledge and understanding of the old man for nearly thirty years.

"Grandpa, are you sure you want to go?"

Men Shaoting still asked a little uneasily.

Men Guangrong glared at him and said, "Is your grandfather too old to speak?" Didn't you hear what I just said? ”

Looking at Men Shaoting's deflated face, Sang Zhi covered his mouth happily and snickered.

In the end, Men Shaoting honestly parked the car in front of a Northeast restaurant not far from the city according to the address Sang Zhi said.

This is a restaurant with Northeast characteristics on the outside, and when I got out of the car with honor, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the big flower curtain hanging at the gate, and said, "It's really a bit of a Northeast flavor." ”

Sang Zhi walked over, stretched out his hand to take the glorious arm of the door, and said, "Yes, isn't it quite feeling?" ”

As he spoke, he walked up the steps with the old man in his arms.

Men Guangrong looked at her with a smile and said: "You girl is eccentric, you don't need to hold grandpa, grandpa is not old enough to be unable to move, and when grandpa really can't walk and collapses on the bed, I'm really afraid of causing trouble to you and making you disgusted." ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense? Who said you are old, you don't look old at all. He looks like he's only in his early sixties, so he's young. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the puzzled Men Shaoting next to him, lightly clubbed him with his elbow, and said, "Yes, husband, grandpa doesn't look old at all, right?" ”

"Huh? Ah, don't look old. ”

Men Shaoting coped and glared at her secretly.

found a private room and sat down, and the waiter took the menu and asked the old man to order.

Men Guangrong looked at the waiter's very Northeast clothes, and then looked at the private room with the atmosphere of a Northeast farmhouse, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, looking at the decoration here, this earthen kang, this big stick mallet, and this kind of lattice window, I can't help but think of when I was a child in my hometown." ”

Men Shaoting only remembered at this time that his grandfather's hometown was in the Northeast, no wonder Sang Zhi said that it was a Northeast style restaurant, and the old man agreed to come without saying a word!

I didn't expect that my woman is now more careful than herself.

Thinking of this, Men Shaoting glanced at the mulberry branch with some approval, and the mulberry branch was even more proud.

Tilting his head and leaning over, he looked at the menu with Men Guangrong, and pointed to the dishes on the menu and enthusiastically recommended the dishes for the old man.

The three of them ordered four dishes and one soup, what kind of pig killing dishes, stewed and the like, all of which are dishes with Northeast characteristics.

"There's a lot of food here, and that's enough for us to eat."

Sang Zhi said as he took the initiative to fill the old man's cup with tea.

"Grandpa has to go to the army's farewell party in the evening, otherwise you can come here to have some soaking wine, I heard that it is very good. But forget it today, if grandpa still wants to come one day, we will accompany grandpa to come over and taste it. ”

Hearing Sang Zhi say this, the old man was very happy, nodded again and again, and said, "It's still yours who are thoughtful, much better than this kid in Men Shaoting." ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glare at the door Shaoting.

Sang Zhi helped the old man with a smile on his face, and the old man ate very happily, especially the sauerkraut made of cornmeal, which was so fragrant.

"Yes, this place is really nice. But there must be a lot of other things added to this cornmeal, not pure enough, when I was in my hometown, when my family was poor at that time, I could afford to eat sorghum flour and cornmeal, it would not be so sweet, but it was very full. ”

While eating, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Decades have passed, and I don't know what my hometown has become, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to go back and see it in this life." ”

Sang Zhi smiled and said, "Grandpa, isn't this simple? You're retired now, so you're not so busy, and if you want to go back and see when you want, I'll go back with you, and we'll take it as a tour. Also, you are now free, you can do whatever you want, and you can do everything exactly as you want! ”

Men Guangrong nodded and said, "It's still you who are sensible, come, grandpa will reward you with a piece of meat." ”

The old man said, took the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of white meat for the mulberry branch, and put it in her flavor plate.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Mulberry branch generally doesn't like to eat fatty meat, but she knows that the meat in the white meat of sauerkraut is fat but not greasy, but she likes to eat it.

When I picked it up and was about to stuff it into my mouth, I suddenly felt a churning in my stomach, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and vomit.

When Men Shaoting saw it, he quickly put down his chopsticks and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

Men Guangrong also looked nervous, and asked, "Is there something uncomfortable, or don't you like to eat white meat?" ”

Sang Zhi took a sip of water and smiled apologetically: "No, grandpa, I'm fine, maybe I've been hungry for too long, and I suddenly ate too many dishes, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

Listening to her words, Men Shaoting couldn't help but have a black line on his face, what did this woman say, what does it mean to be hungry for too long, as if she didn't give her food and abused her, obviously she only ate a big bowl of noodles at noon, he didn't feel hungry yet, how could she be hungry so quickly, it's really strange!

"Oh, then you eat slowly, don't eat too fast. Come, drink some of this big porridge, this is good, warm your stomach. ”

As he spoke, he personally scooped a spoonful of porridge and poured it into the bowl of mulberry branches.

At this Northeast restaurant, every table serves large porridge and small pickles.

The old man loves this porridge and cornmeal dumplings the most, and he says that he can't eat them at home.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Sang Zhi was still a little embarrassed by the gaffe he had just made, and when he saw that Men Guangrong had served himself porridge again, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and sent it to his mouth.

But before he drank it in his mouth, he just smelled the smell of big porridge, and Sang Zhi couldn't help but churn in his stomach again, and it seemed that this time it was even more churning than before.

"Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Sang Zhi was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the bowl, covered his mouth, got up and ran out of the private room directly, and ran towards the bathroom.

Men Guangrong looked worried, glared at Men Shaoting, who was also nervous, and shouted: "Look at what I'm doing, why don't you hurry over and see what's going on, if not, send it to the hospital quickly!" ”

Men Shaoting reacted at this time, glanced at Men Guangrong, and said with some hesitation: "Grandpa, you are alone...... You eat first, and I'll come back when I go. ”

After saying that, he got up and chased him out of the bathroom.

Where can I still eat, Sang Zhi's body has always been very good, although the physique is not easy to get pregnant, but it usually looks quite healthy and hard, why did he suddenly get sick.

When a person gets older, no matter what he used to do, how majestic and beautiful he was, but as long as he gets older, his courage will become much smaller unconsciously.

The current door glory is that he is really worried, and even began to pray in his heart, Sang Zhi, this child must not be sick, otherwise his grandson will be very sad, he does not want to see his grandson, who has always been strong, worried and uncomfortable, and decadent again.

"Zhizhi, are you alright?"

Men Shaoting asked softly outside the women's bathroom.

couldn't hear the answer of the mulberry branch inside for a long time, and the door Shaoting couldn't help but become more and more nervous, and in a hurry, he pushed the door directly and entered.

Fortunately, it was already past the meal at this time, and there were almost no other guests in the restaurant except for their table. There is only one Sang Zhi in the bathroom, otherwise, the joke of Men Shaoting will be big.
