12. Grandma's house, grandma's house

Grandma's house, grandma's house and Jinling's house are in the same city, and they are all places that Jinling likes to visit. There are two straightforward reasons for this: you can go all day without touching your homework, you don't talk to your mom about those headaches about your test scores, and you can eat what you like without restrictions.

Most of my grandmother's children are working in other places, and only Huizi is the only one who stays in the city, so as long as Huizi takes Jin Yiming and Jin Ling back to her parents' house, my grandmother and grandfather regard it as a major event in life, go to the vegetable market a few days in advance to buy vegetables, and prepare slowly and carefully at home.

My grandfather's cooking skills are excellent, and his reserved items "stewed lion's head", "sweet and sour pork ribs", "eight treasure duck", and "bamboo shoots and roasted pork" are all good dishes that Jin Ling never gets tired of eating. Grandma would make all kinds of dough cakes with and without filling, and Jin Ling also refused to let go.

Every time Zhao Huizi entered her mother's door, she first stated: "Cook two less dishes today, Jin Ling wants to lose weight." ”

My grandmother answered, "It's time to lose weight." I must not cook more today. ”

But in the blink of an eye, the dishes prepared in advance were served on the table. Grandma asked Jin Ling vigorously, "Is today's food delicious?" Do you like to eat? ”

Jin Ling ate with a mouth full of oil, and nodded again and again in a very happy mood: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Grandma couldn't stand the praise of others, and when she heard Jin Ling say that it was delicious, she put vegetables in her bowl more diligently, and wanted her to eat all the bowls.

Hui Zi protested: "Mom! ”

Grandma said, "Forget it, what kind of fat do children lose?" It's rare to eat this time. ”

Huizi was afraid that her mother would be unhappy, so she naturally stopped talking and watched Jin Ling's two "lion heads" go down.

The situation at Grandma's house is much the same. The difference is that there are many people eating at grandma's house, and aunts, uncles, cousins and cousins are sitting at a full table, in this case, it is even more inconvenient for Huizi to intervene, and Jin Ling can only pretend not to see if she eats more and less.

Grandma also has a unique skill: she often reserves the essence of a table of dishes, and when Jin Ling comes home after eating, she takes out a full lunch box from the refrigerator and hands it to Jin Ling, making Hui Zi cry and laugh or laugh. Lunch boxes often contain two of the fattest chicken thighs, a large square piece of barbecued pork, or fried four-finger-wide hairtail, sea cucumber and skin belly.

Jin Ling is grandma's sweetheart, and the only way grandma loves her is to give her good food. On the days when Huizi's family didn't go to dinner, her grandmother would bring a vegetable basket to the door from time to time. After Jin Ling grew into a little fat man, Hui Zi and Jin Ling's grandmother had countless arguments over the question of "who fed Jin Ling". Hui Zi accused her mother-in-law of sending too much meat. Grandma Jin Ling shouted, "God! What delicacies do children eat? It's not something that ordinary people eat? Besides, Jin Ling has been with you since she was a child, what thing didn't go through your hand to her mouth? Blame yourself or blame yourself. ”

Hui Zi had nothing to say, she could only blame herself.

My grandmother has been a teacher all her life, and in the past, she always took the standard requirements of teachers for students to her sisters and brothers, but now that she has grandchildren, she still habitually uses the tone of a teacher. For example, when Jin Ling watched TV, her grandmother reminded from time to time: "Sit upright!" Keep 2 meters away from the screen! When Jin Ling was eating, her grandmother would ask her not to spread her arms too far at the dinner table, not to pick up her favorite food in the bowl, not to reach out to others with chopsticks, and not to leave uneaten rice grains in the rice bowl when she left the table.

This can't be, that can't be, Jin Ling is a little restrained at her grandmother's house, and her attitude towards her grandmother is to be in awe. But grandma has a point of view that Jin Ling praises, that is, the child's score requirements are not high, and it is enough to get a score of 80 in each exam. My grandmother often blamed the children who couldn't do anything except study, and said bitterly: "High grades and low ability!" High score and low energy! He persuaded Hui Zi again: "Don't just look at how much the child scores, but see if she understands the problem, if she understands, it's just that she accidentally dropped something when doing the question, or made a mistake about something, there is no need to raise eyebrows at her." When your siblings were in elementary school, which one was the top student in the class? Isn't everyone promising now? ”

Hui Zi thought to herself, it was a fact to say that her younger siblings were promising, and it would seem reluctant to say that she was reluctant. What's so good about her? As an editor of a magazine, if you want a career or not, you don't have much money, you edit those short manuscripts of parents all day long, and from time to time you have to salivate and go out to pull a small advertisement, the ambition of the college days has disappeared, and the only hope is in the daughter Jin Ling. She hopes that Jinling will have outstanding academic performance, hope that Jinling will be admitted to a foreign Chinese language school, and hope that Jinling will go to a first-class university and become a first-class talent in the future, isn't it just to continue her dream that she has not done in Jinling? It's impossible for my grandmother to understand this thought.

My grandmother had a big regret that she couldn't ride a bike. After her retirement, my grandmother liked to go shopping, play, and visit the homes of old friends and colleagues, and not being able to ride a bicycle limited her movement. Although my grandmother's and grandfather's retirement salary is not small, if I have to "take a taxi" every time I travel, it will be too extravagant and obviously unaffordable financially. Once, when Jin Ling's uncle came back from Shenzhen to visit relatives, he suddenly wanted to go to the street to buy a bicycle for his grandparents to ride for a couple. Grandpa sat in the front seat to stabilize the car faucet, and grandma sat in the back seat and twisted her ass to pedal the car, and the two old men cooperated handy. Since then, they have ridden this car to buy groceries, go shopping, and go to the park, and everywhere they go has become a strange scenery in the city.

Jin Ling really envied the leisurely life of her grandparents, and she said to Huizi more than once: "If only I could become a 60-year-old lady all of a sudden, then I can also ride a bicycle every day without going to school and studying, and play wherever I like." ”

Hui Zi said: "What a pity! You have gone straight from childhood to old age, missing out on the most glorious youth, youth and prime of life, what is the significance of your journey on earth? ”

Jin Ling said: "I don't want meaning, just be happy." I'm so unhappy to go to school now, with endless exams and ears full of scores, I feel happy to be alive and dead. ”

Hui Zi felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and grabbed the golden bell tightly, for fear that she would really disappear from this world. Hui Zi's face turned pale and said, "You are not allowed to say such stupid things again!" You envy your grandmother's retirement, but you don't know that they envy your youth even more. If you don't believe it, ask them to go, exchange their leisure with your current hard work, and see what they will choose! ”

Jin Ling muttered, "I don't like school anyway." ”

Compared with the awe of her grandmother, Jin Ling seemed willful and presumptuous in front of her grandmother. Grandma is a typical obedient to Jin Ling, and it is not too much to describe it with the phrase "you want to go to the sky and get a ladder". But grandma is very concerned about Jin Ling's exam results, and every time the midterm and final exams are due, grandma has to frequently tell Huizi: "You have to help your child review well!" Hold on to her! Sometimes just after finishing a homework in the morning, my grandmother called me at noon and asked Jin Ling carefully: "How many points did you score?" Jin Ling was not in a good mood and replied: "I don't know!" Grandma wasn't angry, and couldn't help but call again in the evening, still with the same sentence: "How many points did you get in the test?" ”

Jin Ling said to her mother with a cry and a smile: "How does grandma know how many points she got in the exam?" She cares more about scores than we Teacher Xing! ”

Hui Zi said, "Isn't it because grandma wants you to be good?" ”

Grandma's results of inquiring about scores were always disappointed, because Jin Ling was always a long way from the good results she had in mind. Grandma smacked her lips and muttered with great regret: "Why did you get this little score?" How do you get this little score? Isn't that a very smart kid? ”

After the grandmother went back, she would toss and turn because of the score of the golden bell and couldn't sleep, and then she thought hard about how to help the golden bell, and then got up before dawn, went to the vegetable market to buy fish, shrimp, pork liver and yellow eel or something, and carried it to her son's house to "make up the brain" for the golden bell.

Hui Zi angrily said to her mother-in-law: "It's still a brain!" I think she has too much oil in her brain, just like a chicken has too much oil in her belly and doesn't lay eggs. ”

Grandma didn't care about Huizi's attitude at all, she understood Huizi's disappointment and anger in her heart. She sighed distressed and helplessly and said, "Take your time, grow up and be sensible, I'm afraid it will be better." The child is a smart child. ”

The child is a smart child, even if he can't get 100 points in the test, this is a problem that grandma can never figure out. Therefore, she doted on Jin Ling, complained, distressed, and annoyed. In a way, she sat at home and thought more than Hui Zi.
