[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Old lady Zhao was half lying on the rocking chair in a decadent manner, and her eyes were tightly closed. Zhao Xiyun brought a stool and sat beside him to knead it for him. She tried every way to make Mrs. Zhao laugh. It's just that Old Lady Zhao is faint, which makes her lose her motivation.

The thunder continued, and a strong wind rose in an instant, and the heat in the house suddenly dissipated and emptied, and the coolness was blown on the body with the wind.

Zhao Xiyun gathered the clothes on his body, got up and closed the window.

"No, just open this."

"But the wind is already blowing."

Old lady Zhao waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just open." ”

Zhao Xiyun took a piece of clothing and covered it for Mrs. Zhao.

"I'm just so useless?"

"I'm feeling a little cold."

"Then you can close half of the fan. It's been a long time since it's rained, and I want to see it. ”

Zhao Xiyun raised his hand to pick up a strand of broken hair and took a deep breath: "Yes, it's very comfortable, I really hope it will last a few more days." ”

Old lady Zhao smiled: "In a few more days, the crops in the field will be flooded." The harvest will be grieved. ”

"It's not good to dry up, it's not good to have too much water, it's really hard."

"Growing crops is not an easy job, so what you eat is expensive, and you can't waste anything."

Zhao Xiyun nodded: "Grandpa's birthday. Well, I ate the most in the summer. Grandpa, what do you want to eat for your birthday this time? ”

Old lady Zhao smiled and said, "Do you want to make it for me to eat yourself?" ”

Zhao Xiyun was a little embarrassed, she didn't have to. Can't cook: "If grandpa wants to eat, I can ask Ruixue to teach me." ”

Old lady Zhao thought about it and finally nodded: "Don't cry when you cut your hand." ”

"No, it won't. Grandpa, you guess Uncle Wang will be this year. What to cook? Every year on Grandpa's birthday, Uncle Wang will make a new dish as a congratulatory gift, and she is looking forward to what this year's dish will be.

"Old lady, Master Wang asks to see."

Old lady Zhao was slightly surprised, but said to Zhao Xiyun with a smile: "Say. Cao Cao Cao arrived, and he came by coincidence. Let him in. ”

For a while, Old Lady Zhao saw Wang Jiuzhi and smiled: "Why are you here?" I still. Say this to the five girls, what dishes do you want you to prepare for my birthday! The second child will be home in the next two days. ”

Wang Jiu pointed to Zhao Xixiao, who turned to the same side as Zhao Xiyun, and saluted.

Zhao Xiyun brought a stool and put it under the old lady Zhao. Nine-fingered sitting.

Wang Jiu's fingers are half sideways. Sitting on the stool, forgetting his hands on his knees, he said with some embarrassment: "I am here to ask the old lady to resign." ”

Zhao Xiyun immediately said: "Please resign? Uncle Wang, are you leaving? ”

Wang Jiuzhi smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

Old Lady Zhao was also a little surprised, and thought for a moment and said, "But is it because of the third grandson?" He habitually stopped, Wang Jiuzhi didn't say anything, he knew the habits of Old Lady Zhao, "I heard, it's the fault of the third grandson." I'll compensate you with Ruixue on his behalf. ”

After speaking, Old Lady Zhao stood up and shook his fingers deeply at Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly left the stool and held out Old Lady Zhao's arms: "How dare you." It's Ruixue who doesn't understand the rules. ”

Old lady Zhao still did enough before straightening her waist, holding Wang Jiuzhi's hand and saying, "I know in my heart that you don't have to fight with me." The third grandson's own fault, if he can't recognize it himself, it will be his blessing not to study in this life. ”

Wang Jiuzhi was a little cramped: "It's Ruixue." She is also older now, and she has reached the age when she should talk about family affairs, I am thinking, if I continue to do it, if some people from my family know that I am doing things for others in the future, they are afraid of disgusting Ruixue, so I ......"

Old lady Zhao nodded: "What you said is very true. What are you going to do? If I don't sponsor you, would it be good to open a restaurant in Quanjiao? I've eaten your dishes for more than ten years, and I'm no longer used to eating what others are cooking. ”

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly thanked Mrs. Zhao: "It depends on what Ruixue thinks, I depend on her for everything." ”

Zhao Xiyun's eyes suddenly turned red: "Ruixue will definitely not be far away." I haven't seen her in these days, and she doesn't come to see me anymore. ”

Wang Jiuzhi didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head.

Old lady Zhao looked at Wang Jiuzhi, who bowed his head and was silent, shook his head lightly, got up and entered the inner room, took out a box, opened it, and handed it to Wang Jiuzhi: "This is one hundred taels of silver." I had prepared for Ruixue earlier, and I was going to use it for her to marry. Since you're going out, take it out. ”

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "This can't be helped, this can't be helped." ”

"Why do you think you have less money?"

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly denied: "No, it's not. It's just that the old lady has given enough over the years. ”

Old lady Zhao smiled lightly: "When are you going to leave?" ”

"Tomorrow."

"So fast? I should wait until I'm past my birthday. ”

Wang Jiuzhi also wanted to leave after Mrs. Zhao's birthday, but the current Zhao family couldn't accommodate their father and daughter at all.

Seeing that Wang Jiuzhi didn't speak, Old Lady Zhao knew that he was willing to make a decision, and said with a smile: "If you want to leave, I won't force you to stay." Why don't you go to the kitchen and get me some side dishes, so let's have a drink today?" ”

Wang Jiu agreed, and soon prepared a few snacks to accompany the wine. Cold salad with shredded kelp, tofu skin with vermicelli, tiger skin hairy tofu......

"It's too hasty, that's all I can do."

Old lady Zhao put a piece of tiger skin hairy tofu in her mouth, nodded and said, "That's enough, don't do so much." Tofu was very kind to his teeth, "Wang Jiuzhi, you have been at my house for so many years, I still don't know what your real name is?" Are you really called Wang Jiuzhi? ”

Wang Jiuzhi's body was obviously stunned. His real name. It is estimated that at home, he is now another king. He laughed and said, "I don't remember. In the past, the eldest son of the Wang family, the eldest son of the Wang family, was called. Later, without this finger, people called Wang Jiuzhi, and I got used to it. ”

Old lady Zhao looked at Wang Jiuzhi's right hand that was missing an index finger, and nodded thoughtfully. He is definitely a chef based on his skills, and as for the lack of fingers, I'm afraid it's ...... Since he didn't want to say it, forget it.

"I used to eat this tofu back then. At that time, I was still a poor talent, and my family was poor, so my mother would grind some tofu and sell it on the street. Seeing my mother and daughter-in-law eating pickles all year round, I thought that I must study hard, be an official, and glorify my ancestors, so that my mother and daughter-in-law can live a good life. Every day I read until midnight, and I couldn't avoid hunger. My mother left a handful of soybeans with ground tofu and a red date to cook for me to eat, encouraging me to study hard. I didn't expect that when I was 30 years old, I won the first place in the township examination, and then the first place in the examination. What an honor that is. In fact, I was the first in the palace test, but Banzai said that Peng Youqi's words were better than mine, and I was forced to change me to the top eye. I can't be angry! What is the use of Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan, it is better to be the champion, fight horses in front of the emperor, and see flowers all over the city. ”

Old lady Zhao originally came to talk to Wang Jiuzhi, but she didn't want to look at the tiger skin hairy tofu and recall the bitterness of the year.

Zhao Xiyun's feelings about these are not as deep as those of Wang Jiuzhi, who was hungry. That little bit of stuff doesn't add anything to a person who has been hungry for a long time, but when everyone is short of food, the extra bite he eats is someone else's life.

"The third grandson said when he was a child that he wanted to marry Rui Xue......"

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly said: "Children talk about playing, they can't take it seriously. ”

Old lady Zhao pulled Wang Jiuzhi and sat down: "The eldest husband has a promise, but I want to be a villain now." Mrs. Zhao ate another piece of edamame tofu and chewed it slowly, savoring the strange and familiar taste, "I always say that my son forgets his roots, but in fact, I am the one who forgets his roots the most." Although I said that I should eat and dress simply, my head was full of ideas that were right for the family. The grandmother of the third grandson, my daughter-in-law was born in a flower child, and she fell hungry at my door, and her mother brought her to the house to feed her porridge, stayed at home as a daughter, and became my daughter-in-law in the future. Why didn't I think about it at the time? And so it is today. Don't laugh at me, don't laugh at me. ”

Wang Jiuzhi quietly looked at the old lady Zhao. In the past few years, he has aged a lot, and it seems that his health is always bad, and he laughs less often, and he is rarely asked to cook some meat to eat, and he drinks more and more porridge, and things get worse and worse the more he cooks.

"The third grandson took the second prize in this hospital examination, and the first champion was the son of the third champion of the same year. I have one wish in my life, and the third grandson can be the champion in the exam on my behalf, which is a matter of my heart. The granddaughter-in-law's background must not be bad. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it'll be the same as my mother and my daughter-in-law. My mother has been observing the festival for many years, and she has worked hard to raise me, but because she washes clothes for people in a private dormitory, she can't set up an archway; My daughter-in-law was also tarnished because she was born as a beggar and was not given the same rank as me. ”

Old lady Zhao cried as he spoke, he recently liked to think more and more about the past, thinking of his mother, thinking of his wife who died early, thinking of everything. He remembered that when he was an official, the wives and daughters of his colleagues ridiculed his mother and wife, and he only felt heartache. They had never experienced the taste of poverty, and they did not know how precious money was, and they ridiculed that there were no flowers and plants in their palace, but a bunch of green vegetables. When a colleague asked for a memorial arch for his mother, he dug up the fact that his mother went to a private dormitory to wash clothes in order to raise their brothers. Rhetoric, starvation is small, and loss of festival is big.

Bullshit!

He knew that God was a godsend for him to live for a few years. I don't know if I can still live to see the champion of the three grandchildren.

"Old lady......."

Old lady Zhao wiped her face: "Rui Xue has been with me for all these years, and like the five girls, I am indispensable for this dowry and silver." You should have told me to prepare an extra dowry. ”

Old lady Zhao's words revealed deep regret. He had prepared a little silver for each of his grandchildren, but none of them had been used until now. What's the use of having so many children, there are only one or two by your side.

Wang Jiuzhi didn't speak, just stared at the box. The box with the silver was heavy, heavy. Wang Jiuzhi rubbed the box, staring at the texture on it, but felt embarrassed.

Seeing that Wang Jiuzhi had accepted the silver, Old Lady Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and raised her wine glass: "You haven't had a drink with me yet, so you must have a drink with me today." ”

Zhao Xiyun stayed by Mrs. Zhao's side, and pressed the wine glass with some worry: "Grandpa." ”

"If you let me have a few drinks, I won't live for a few days, and you won't ask me to do a few happy things." Old lady Zhao snatched the wine glass a little unhappily and took a sip of wine, "Don't you miss Ruixue?" Let's go see her. I won't drink more. ”
