On the way back to the inn, I met an old man from the countryside carrying a fish basket.

"There are fish." Cai Yuhan was a child, and he immediately saw it.

"Let's go and ask." Luo Xiaoqiao smiled slightly and greeted the young man.

"Grandpa." Walking to the old man's side, Luo Xiaoqiao politely arched his hand and said hello.

The old man is from Xiaoshiqiao Village, in fact, in the surrounding area, except for Luojia Village, other villages are still very poor.

When he saw the clothes on Luo Xiaoqiao and a few people, especially a few people who looked like rich wives in the distance, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive

Seeing Luo Xiaoqiao's polite greeting, he hurriedly stood up straight: "Girl, are you in trouble?" ”

"I just want to ask, grandpa, do you sell the fish in this basket?" The old man should have come from the side of the stream in the mountains, the pond is not big, and there are obviously a few fish in the frame, all of which look like more than a catty, I don't know how to hit it, but it is also very powerful.

"This?" The old man was obviously a little hesitant, this fish was the hungry of the sick little grandson, he came out to hunt all morning, and he caught it, and he didn't really want to sell it. But the family is very poor, and if I can really exchange some money, maybe I can go to the doctor for the child.

"Can you do such a small fish?" Zhang Baihe was a little disgusted, especially when she saw the plaster in the old man's fingernails, she even looked away.

How did she know that the farmer who was digging and eating in the land could not have a little dust?

The old man listened to her words and became more restrained.

"Girl, I'm not selling fish, I happened to have a few fish today, and I didn't weigh it, if you want it, a fish weighs about a pound, and you give you twenty dollars?"

"Okay", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled slightly, and without bargaining, he bought all the fish. The old man was so happy that he thanked him again and again, and his waist straightened a lot.

"Little Miss Qiao, don't I see that there are fish in that village? Why did you buy it again? Still so small? There are a lot of fish bones in this kind, and they are not so delicious", the eldest lady asked her with some puzzlement.

"That old man, in fact, I know, last year on credit, he brought his little grandson I saw, it's not easy, I'm so far away at this time, I'm afraid it's difficult for the family again, I can help if I can", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the old man's obviously straight back and said.

Zhang Baihe pursed her lips in a no-man's land, and muttered in a low voice: "Who is the show for, I really want to help, why don't you just give the silver money, or let him come to work."

Luo Xiaoqiao's ears were sharp, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but smile: "Miss Lily, as the saying goes, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, there are many poor people in the world, and they really can't help." This old man has already returned with duck and duck food on credit, and if nothing else, he will be able to survive in a few months. ”

"It may be true that there are many people in the world who have lost their humanity for the sake of money, but this person, if I give him money today because of mercy, he will be extremely disturbed, and then it will not be beautiful. If you don't have two money, both sides can be more comfortable."

"Really?" Zhang Baihe obviously didn't believe it.

"Grandpa, you're back", Luo Xiaoqiao saw the old man on the mountain road from a distance and jumped over.

"I'm back, go see your father", Grandpa Luo's eyes were a little lonely, and he touched Luo Xiaoqiao's head, "I'll go back first, you can't eat here in Zhuangzi at noon."

"Don't go back, grandpa, there are guests here, all of them are female guests, so I won't tell you more, I'll go back in the evening", Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Okay", the old man finished and left.

"Little Sister Qiao, why is your father and mother on the mountain?" Cai Yuhan blinked a little suspiciously.

"They died," Luo Xiaoqiao said softly.

"Huh? I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoqiao, I don't know", Cai Yuhan was a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and looked into the distance, although they were gone, she could take care of her grandparents.

"Yo, why not?" Zhang Baihe was shocked and shouted: "I heard that some people's lives are hard, some Kefu, some Kezi, your family won't have this situation, right?" ”

Her voice was not small, and Grandpa Luo hadn't gone far yet, and his shoulders stiffened for a moment when he heard it.

Luo Xiaoqiao's face instantly turned cold. She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Luo scolded her grandfather like this, saying that he was a widow, so he was lonely and widowed.

Zhang Baihe's words were undoubtedly a stab in the old man's heart. If she said that she was talking about Luo Xiaoqiao herself, she might just smile and pass, saying that her grandfather, that is her reverse scale, and she will never allow it.

Luo Xiaoqiao's eyes were full of anger, but after blinking a few times, he pressed it again.

Cai Qinqin was also a little at a loss: "Xiao Qiao, don't take it to heart, don't pay attention to her"

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled: "Yes, it's all over, let's go, let's cook."

"Little Joe, what are you going to eat for lunch?" Cai Qinqin asked in a chatter, and Cai Qianqian in the back smiled and didn't speak, but the sparkle in her eyes exposed her expectations.

"Today, how about the wild vegetable feast?" Luo Xiaoqiao glanced at the basket in his hand, turned around and said to them.

"Sister, what kind of wild vegetable feast?" Cai Yuhan is about to become Luo Xiaoqiao's little follower, and asked while pulling her shirt.

"You'll know in a while, if you think it's funny, you can follow me", Luo Xiaoqiao pinched his little nose and said with a smile.

"Xiao Qiao, don't be joking, Yuhan is a boy, a gentleman is a cook, but not you countrymen", Zhang Baihe's mouth was closed one by one, and what she said made people a little blocked for no reason.

"If you want to take care of it, I'm going to do it with my sister", Xiao Baozi's face was angry, and he turned around to get the board, "Sister Xiao Qiao, come, you teach me".

Mrs. Cai watched their communication, and felt more and more that her niece was worried, and she had to find a time to knock and knock.

"Is this a dumpling?" The other three ladies chatted with the old lady, but Mrs. Cai paced over, a few half-grown children, preparing meals like playful, which really made their trip as if they were going out on an outing.

The ingredients were the wild vegetables they dug in the morning, but after Luo Xiaoqiao's seasoning, the freshness and fragrance were brought into full play.

In the midst of the hee-hee-ha, the meal was quickly served.

First of all, the vegetable cakes made by the mother-in-law, then the seasonal vegetables were fried, and there was a stewed chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms.

There is also a dish of braised crucian carp, which is also made of the soy sauce that has not been listed by the Luo family, with green onions floating on it, and the presentation is also quite exquisite.

After taking the first bite, Mrs. Cai narrowed her eyes in shock, "Ah, Xiao Qiao, this girl, cooking is really delicious." The food is really delicious. ”

"Grandmother, there are dumplings, I made them myself, you can taste them", Cai Yuhan handed it to the old lady with his chubby hand.

The dumplings are delicious, one is the filling and the other is the seasoning.

Considering that several ladies are not very spicy, Luo Xiaoqiao also deliberately mixed some sesame oil, bean paste, and garlic paste. Of course, all the ingredients are unseen on the market.

"Delicious", a white and fat dumpling entered Cai Qinqin's mouth, and she couldn't stop.

Today, I am not at home, and I don't have to keep all the rules. On this sunny day, the food is extremely cheerful.
