Chapter 268: Two Eggs, The Other Half of the Birthday
"Ah, look at my granddaughter, she doesn't grow up."
The grandmother squinted her eyes and looked at the boyfriend brought back by her granddaughter who was standing on the side and said with a smile, regardless of whether the young man could understand or not, and looked down at the eldest granddaughter who was lying on her body and hugged her with affection and said:
"Okay, get up, bring your boyfriend back, and I'm not afraid of your boyfriend's jokes." My hands are wet, so let my grandmother dry them and bring you some peanuts to eat. β
"Okay, grandma, can you have dinner here? Just eat green vegetables and rice. β
As soon as Yun Feng heard that there were peanuts to eat, he immediately bounced off his grandmother and asked to have dinner with his grandmother.
"Oh, is your boyfriend going to let people eat rice and vegetables when he comes?"
Grandma looked at Shannan with a smile and asked her granddaughter.
"Oh yes, grandma, my boyfriend bought you something delicious. Wait! β
As he spoke, Yun Feng pulled Shannan to the bicycle basket at the back door and took out two boxes of American ginseng, a box of sesame paste, a box of rock sugar bird's nest, a bag of fragrant pears and banana apples that Sha Nanan bought for the old man.
"Grandma, it's all for you."
Shannan is still a shy boy statue, and he knows that the old man doesn't understand it very well.
"Oh, Nantong, thank you, thank you."
Grandma actually remembered Yun Feng's name after hearing him mention it once, which made Yun Feng really surprised.
"Come, come, come, sit down, and I'll bring you peanuts. A while ago, I just boiled dried salted peanuts and fried peanuts. β
As she spoke, Grandma turned around and opened the door under the TV cabinet, opened a large white snakeskin bag with a screwed hole, took some peanuts out of the bag with her hands, put them in a small bamboo basket, and brought them to the coffee table.
"Grandmaβyou can stay with me for a while!"
Yun Feng saw that his grandmother's hand was about to turn away after putting down the peanuts, so he grabbed his grandmother's thin bronze hand with protruding green tendons with both hands while shouting, and raised it between his nose and lips to rub it coquettishly, not remembering that there was a Shanantong sitting next to him.
"Hey, you kid......"
Grandma let her hold her hand, then lifted her apron to wipe her eyes, and her granddaughter finally grew up and had a boyfriend who could take care of her.
"Nantong, you eat peanuts, she is like this, she has been pampered since she was a child."
Grandma looked at her granddaughter's boyfriend with red eyes and smiled kindly and said in dialect.
She doesn't speak Mandarin, but after watching TV for nearly 30 years, she can actually understand some Cantonese and Mandarin.
"You're not going to see your uncles? They'll be out to work later. β
Grandma saw that her granddaughter was holding her hand endlessly, so she urged.
Shanantong, who was on the side, finally understood why Yun Feng loved to bite his wrist pulse when he had nothing to do. It turned out that the secret of all this was in this constant emotion between her and her relatives. He suddenly felt distressed again, raised his hand and touched the back of her head, and said gently:
"Yun'er, be obedient, let grandma go to the meeting, will you take me around?"
"yes, okay."
Only then did Yun Feng put down his grandmother's big bronze hand.
When grandma turned to go to the kitchen to be busy, Yun Feng habitually wanted to turn around and follow up, so Shanan Tiantian took her with one hand and hugged her into his arms lovingly, until grandma came out with an empty bucket, he quickly let go of the lovely child in his arms before grandma stepped out of the kitchen door.
"Grandma, we'll help you hang the water."
Yun Feng snatched the bucket, and grandma was about to open her mouth to stop it, but she handed it to Shanantong next to her, and said with a smile:
"Grandma, let my boyfriend help you hang back into the water."
"Good, good, good."
Grandma nodded happily in agreement.
"My grandmother only heard me say your name once, and she remembered it, and she called you twice when she just talked to you."
Yun Feng turned his head to Sha Nanan and said.
"Oh, really? Grandma's memory is so good! β
Shannan was also very happy.
"That's because grandma likes you, so I remember it."
"Then I'll fetch some more water to thank grandma."
Shannan is a pragmatist, working hard to stay in the water and thank the old man with actions.
"Well, you can take a sip in a while, the well water at home is a treasure, and you can't drink it anywhere. It's so sweet, especially in summer like this. Ah, if only there was cold powder soaked in well water and eaten. β
Yun Feng suddenly remembered that someone should come to sell cold noodles this season.
"Grandma, will anyone come to sell jelly?"
"I didn't hear it, you can go to the village store in a while, they seem to have something to sell."
Grandma thought for a moment and said.
"Really? That's great! Then we'll go after we're done hanging the water. β
"Grandma, where is the little uncle?"
Yun Feng remembered that he hadn't seen his little uncle for a while.
"He's wandering around nowhere. I guess I'll be back in a while. β
Shannan helped carry a bucket of water back to the kitchen.
"Oh, Nantong, thank you, don't get your clothes dirty."
Grandma said to Shanan, Yun Feng translated to Shanan, and Shannan hurriedly waved his hand to the old man shyly and said it didn't matter.
"Shouldn't I wear a white shirt?"
He asked Yun Feng with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, you just wear a shirt and look a little bigger than me, hehe."
Yun Feng replied with a smile.
"Come, Nantong, these are two freshly boiled eggs, and they are a year older."
Grandma took out two boiled eggs from the pot and put them in a bowl and handed them to Shanantong.
Yun Feng translated to him, saying that this was the treatment for her birthday when she was a child, and her grandmother stuffed her two boiled eggs in her pocket. Shannan took the egg, a warm current flowed through his heart, and his face was shy, and he quickly thanked the old man.
"Grandma, what about me? Can't I get bare-washed? β
"You, I knew you would ask for it, give it, you will have one."
Grandma smiled and fished out another one from the pot like a spell, put it in the bowl and handed it to her, turned her head to Shannan and admonished:
"You can eat the two in Nantong yourself, she doesn't have a birthday, just eat one."
"Grandma said that you have to eat two for your birthday, but I don't have a birthday, so I can only eat one with you. You have to cherish the two in your bowl, don't rob them, or I'll eat them all, hehe. β
Yun Feng translated it to Shanan. Shanan's heart is full of happiness.
He has also been loved by his relatives since he was a child, including his grandparents, grandmothers and grandparents, but the way of love of the relatives around him is more rational and calm, which is different from the feeling of love between Grandma Yunfeng and her granddaughter surging like a warm current.
Shannan still gave Yun Feng a bite of each of the eggs he peeled, and Yun Feng also peeled his own eggs, and let him eat half of them before stopping.
"Huh? Xiaocao'er is back? Who is this? β
Shannan watched as a skinny village boy grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, spit out his shell while eating, and walked from the village public hall under the verandah. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Country Orphan Paw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
