Dinner.

Xu Zhimu took out the drinks prepared in advance from the trunk of the car.

The living room was a little small, Xu Zhimu and Chen Wei directly moved two tables to the courtyard and put them together, seven people, old and young.

Take advantage of the starlight in the sky and the Microsoft light from a tungsten light bulb in the hall, and sit together.

"Grandma, don't do it, you can't finish this dish."

There were already three or four dishes on the table, and just now Grandpa secretly rode his bicycle to the only small shop in the village to buy some cold dishes and drinks.

The people in the village are sometimes so simple that people have nothing to say, they all say that they are rich and stingy, poor and generous.

The poor are most afraid of owing favors, and they think about how to repay the slightest favor.

It's just that Xu Zhimu looked at the "Lei Bi" drink that his grandfather bought, and was a little speechless.

There are more pirated drinks in the countryside than the original, and of course the price is cheaper.

People in mountain villages, where they are usually willing to drink drinks, can't tell whether it is genuine and pirated.

After all, it was grandpa's intention, and several people tacitly did not debunk the truth that grandpa was deceived.

In the middle is a large pot full of stewed chicken soup.

In front of them, there was also a bowl full of chicken.

Only in the bowl of the second elder, there is more soup and less meat, and more potatoes.

"Grandma, don't just give us meat, you and Grandpa should eat more."

Xu Zhimu took the spoon and divided the chicken in his bowl with the two elders.

"No, no, we can't eat meat when we're old, it's good to drink some soup, look at your child......" Grandma didn't stop her, and a wave of warmth welled up in her heart, this is the first time to be so close to them in addition to her own children.

Since Qingqing's mother left, the burden of the family is on her son, and it is sometimes difficult to come back after going out to work for the New Year.

In addition, Qingqing is also going to college now, and the home is even more deserted.

Looking at the children at the table today, it is really more lively than the New Year, grandma's slightly cloudy old eyes are sour, and she wiped her tears with a headscarf.

"Grandma, I'm happy to come to dinner today, why are you crying?"

Xu Zhimu took the disposable cup and divided it.

"That's right, grandma, I'll pour you juice to drink." Wang Ningning looked at her grandmother wiping her tears, and her nose was sour.

When his grandmother was still there, she was so kind, and she always looked forward to going back every year.

"Good boy, grandma is happy, Qingqing has few friends since she was a child, and I trouble you to take care of her more......"

Grandma Liu Ningqing said, and she couldn't help wiping her tears.

"Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely take care of Qingqing, and I will come to see you and grandpa more often in the future."

Xu Zhimu said this sincerely, and he almost said that I will be your own grandson in the future.

Liu Ningqing's eyes were gentle to the extreme, she looked at Xu Zhimu quietly, and her perfect pretty face under the moonlight was hazy with a touch of blush, but it was more of a rich to the extreme warmth.

A pair of starry eyes are full of his figure.

The second elder was moved in his heart, and he didn't hear the meaning of Xu Zhimu's words for a while.

"Come grandpa, I'll have two drinks with you today."

Xu Zhimu heard from her junior sister that her grandfather likes to drink two sips, but they are all bulk liquor, and drinking too much is not good for the body.

However, the cheapest way for people to work in the fields to relax is to smoke a cigarette and have a sip of wine.

Xu Zhimu specially bought a case of wine, although it is not Moutai, but it is also a good grain wine.

It's not that I'm reluctant to give it away, but I'm afraid that the junior sister will know that she sent such an expensive wine, and I guess I won't be able to worry about it again.

Tomato is free to read

Xu Zhimu took the wine bottle and poured a full glass for his grandfather, and then poured a glass for Chen Wei and himself.

"This wine is not cheap, don't spend money on it, child......."

Although I have never drunk any good wine in my life, I can feel whether this wine is good or not, and it is mellow and fragrant without flushing my nose.

This is all good grain and wine.

Grandpa was full of tongue, but he still endured the wine and asked.

"Don't get in the way, I have a relative's family that sells wine, we take the wine cheaply ourselves, you can rest assured, absolute pure grain wine."

Xu Zhimu picked up the wine, stood up and said: "Today, everyone will come together to do one, and our grandparents will be in good health, and their longevity will be better than Nanshan!" ”

"That's right! I wish my grandparents good health! ”

Several people stood up, and the two old men couldn't help the tears flashing and stood up as well.

Xiao Wu raised his glass vigorously, but he couldn't reach it, and finally Yi Ya said twice and pulled a small stool to stand on it.

The cute little hand held the juice cup, touched it too, and said in a milky voice: "Cheers!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

At the dinner table, everyone gradually opened up the conversation.

talked about college life, but of course it avoided the fact that Xu Zhimu had already fallen in love with Liu Ningqing.

However, Wang Ningning still said how Xu Zhimu helped Liu Ningqing and helped her apply for a subsidy after some polishing.

The second elder's eyes have been watching Xu Zhimu, and Xu Zhimu has been picking vegetables for the junior sister.

In a word...... It's just that the relationship between the two people is very delicate.

Liu Ningqing didn't dare to look at her grandparents' eyes, every time Xu Zhimu gave her vegetables, her face was hot with shame.

Secretly poked and gently pinched his thigh under the table with his hand.

However, he was caught by Xu Zhimu directly freeing his hand.

"Hmm~"

Liu Ningqing subconsciously snorted.

"What's wrong, Qingqing?"

The grandmother looked at her granddaughter, and saw that her whole face was a little red.

Liu Ningqing's left hand was still held by Xu Zhimu, and he couldn't pull it out.

And Xu Zhimu was chatting with his grandfather as usual, but his subordinates were still gently rubbing the back of her smooth hand.

"It's okay, the soup is too urgent, it's a little hot......"

Liu Ningqing endured the shyness in her heart and spoke, just gently pinching the palm of his hand again.

But this bad guy has rough skin and thick flesh, so he doesn't care at all, but grabs her fingers and kneads them back and forth like a beautiful jade.

However, Wang Ningning and Chen Wei glanced at each other, according to their understanding of Xu Zhimu, they must have secretly done something bad to Qingqing again.

I just don't know if it's the kind of ***** in a certain country......

Today's young people are really playing more and more perverted.

At eight o'clock, the nightlife in the city has just begun, but in the mountain town, it is already silent.

There are no car noises, no noise, and no evil forces like square dance gangs......

Quiet, natural, and cozy are the only themes.

"Are the kids fed? Not enough to have buns and soup in the pot. ”

"Don't bother, I'm really full, our own chai chicken is much better than those chickens in the city."

Several people patted their stomachs, although there is only one chicken, but it is very fat, and it is always enough to eat.

What's more, there are so many dishes, and the food is indeed quite full.

"I'll help clean up the dishes." Xu Zhimu was about to help wash the dishes, but was stopped by his grandmother.

"I'll just go with Qingqing, and you can talk here again."

"I'll go too, eat so much today, what if I don't exercise and what if I gain weight."

Wang Ningning also stood up with a smile.

"Your girl is really smart, but she is not fat at all......" Grandma looked at Wang Ningning and liked it very much.

The female comrades all went to wash the dishes, and Xu Zhimu took out a cigarette, lit it for his grandfather again, and pulled Chen Wei to sit together and gossip.

As for Xiao Wu, this will still be holding a toy gun, and it is rare to run back and forth in the house.

"Grandpa, how much corn do you have in this field?"

Xu Zhimu took the initiative to pick out the topic.

"There are still three acres of land, all on the hillside, my legs and feet are not as sharp as before, if they were placed in the past, they would be harvested in two or three days."

"What price can we buy this corn now?"

"It's still a piece, if you pull down the grain station in the town, you can sell it for one or two ......"

"This acre of land is removed from chemical fertilizers and pesticides, I'm afraid I can't earn a thousand yuan."

"Huh... There's no way, we're all farmers, we've been farming all our lives, and we don't have any other skills, so we hope that our children will get ahead in the future, at least we have to get out of this mountain and go to the outside world to see, and they can live well, and we bad old men will rest assured......"

Grandpa's words are very simple, and there is also a kind of helplessness of the majority of farmers, and his tone is heavy like the land that has been cultivated all year round.

The heavy and pressed person is a little uncomfortable.

Farmers are rooted in the land and spend most of their lives cultivating the fields.

They can farm, but they can't farm for generations.

It is difficult for children in the city to experience this state of mind.

"It's going to get better, now that Qingqing can earn his own money, you and grandma will take care of your health, and you will see that day soon."

Xu Zhimu said seriously, this day will definitely not be too late.

"Yes, I heard that Liu's score is more than 700 points, which is in the forefront of Binhai University, and many large companies will come to grab people without waiting for graduation......"

Chen Wei also said, and the grandfather sat in the courtyard and talked slowly.

In the kitchen, Wang Ningning and Liu Ningqing didn't let their grandmother do it, so they rushed to clean the bowls.

In this dilapidated courtyard, there is peace and warmth.

The seat will always be dispersed, nine o'clock.

Xu Zhimu patted his ass and stood up: "Grandparents, it's not early today, let's go back to the place where we live first, and we will come to see you tomorrow and accompany Qingqing to complete all the formalities." ”

"Okay, you all slow down on the way back......"

A family of four sent Xu Zhimu out of the courtyard gate.

It was sent all the way to the three of them and got into the car.

"Drive slowly, the road is dark, the road is not easy to walk, go to the place to make a call."

Grandma stood in front of the car window, looking at the three young people in the car, and her heart was still a little empty.

Although they only had a meal together, this long-lost sense of reunion is the rarest thing for these empty nesters.

"Don't worry, grandma, we live very close to here, and we will be there in a while." Xu Zhimu fastened his seat belt and smiled at his grandmother.

Liu Ningqing stood behind her grandmother, looking at him silently, and Xu Zhimu sat in the back row and looked at her.

Each other's eyes are telling their emotions.

"Brother and sister, will you come back tomorrow?"

Xiao Wu also jumped up and down, leaning on the window and watching.

"Come on, my sister will definitely come!"

Wang Ningning, the only one who didn't drink, was in charge of driving today, and when she saw Xiao Wu, she liked it, so she stretched out her hand and wanted to pinch his little face, but she was still avoided by Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu is so stingy, he doesn't let his face ...... pinched"

Wang Ningning said aggrievedly in the car window.

Several people smiled, Xu Zhimu glanced at the junior sister again, anyway, there are still a few days in the next few days, let's leave more time for this family to catch up tonight.

"Then I'll go over first, and we'll have breakfast tomorrow!"

Xu Zhimu smiled and waved his hand, and the vehicle slowly started.

The family of four stood at the intersection and watched the vehicle disappear into the night.

……

At night, Liu Ningqing sat on the edge of Grandma's bed.

"Qingqing, today's child named Xu Zhimu, I think he takes good care of you, the boy you told your grandmother about at school is him, right?"

The grandmother held her granddaughter's hand, and the contrast between her old and rough hand and her granddaughter's young and smooth hand was obvious.

is a granddaughter of mine, her life is really bitter, but she is so good-looking.

From childhood to adulthood, many boys chased their granddaughters, made trouble at school several times, and even secretly followed their granddaughters to the door of their homes......

During those days, even Liu Ningqing would carry a pair of scissors with him every day when he went out for self-defense.

Later, in order to no longer worry her family, Liu Ningqing put on a mask and never took it off wherever she went.

She was wearing a mask, which also covered her heart.

From that day on, Liu Ningqing had no friends, and she was dedicated to this crippled home.

All this, as grandparents, see it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts.

And since that day of summer vacation, my granddaughter seems to have changed suddenly.

I became smiling and gradually took off my mask.

When a grandmother knows her granddaughter best.

Taking off the mask proves that she has found a place to rely on to allow her to live in the sun.

And this reliance is likely to be the boy today.

Liu Ningqing obviously didn't expect Grandma to suddenly ask like this.

But she knew that she couldn't hide it for too long, and the reason why she didn't tell her grandpa and grandma was because she was worried that they would think too much.

But today, it seems that grandma and grandpa have a good impression of Xu Zhimu.

"Hmm......" Liu Ningqing nodded, and her delicate face flew a little crimson.

"This child is kind-hearted, careful and regular, I used to think it was fake just to hear you say, but today I see that he is really a good child......"

Grandma smiled and touched her granddaughter's hair.

Propriety?

Liu Ningqing subconsciously thought of the time when he was eating just now, and the bad guy was secretly messing around under the table.

If he behaves, there will be no unruly people in this world.

Grandma then asked: "Qingqing, you tell Grandma the truth, the boy you said you had a crush on before, is this child?" ”

Liu Ningqing was stunned for a while, she looked at Grandma's kind smile, and her mind was full of Xu Zhimu's shadow.

From the first encounter, she knew that she couldn't do without him for a long time.

So, Liu Ningqing looked at Grandma's eyes, her face was as red as blood, like a docile kitten, and nodded slightly.

Grandma looked at her granddaughter and sighed softly, sure enough.

After all, how can a boy be willing to send a girl who has just met for a short time, and send a girl home so far over the mountains and mountains?

"Grandma, I'm still just, ordinary friends, we don't have ......"

Liu Ningqing listened to her grandmother's sigh, subconsciously became nervous, and explained hesitantly.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're my granddaughter, grandma understands you."

Grandma saw her granddaughter's anxious look, and also patted her granddaughter's hand: "Grandma is not against you falling in love, but she is worried that you have been deceived, and this condition in our family is ......"

Grandma said, feeling sad.

If it were an ordinary family, they would fall in love, but a family like theirs can't stand the toss.

And they watch TV, every year there are many female college students who get pregnant unmarried, and in the end, the girl bears the consequences alone if she is not a D child.

This family can't withstand such a toss, and his granddaughter can't stand it.

"Grandma, we ......"

"Qingqing, grandma and grandpa are old, I can't accompany you for a lifetime, you will get married sooner or later, but we only hope that you can find a good family in the future, we don't want to be rich and expensive, but we have to find a stable and responsible person......"

Grandma said kindly, holding her granddaughter's hand: "Grandma is also a person who has come over, and your current mood grandma also understands, today grandma is just talking to you, as for what to decide, you make your own decision." ”

Liu Ningqing was stunned for a long time, and finally looked at Grandma and nodded quietly.

"Don't talk about that, come, I'll get you a few insoles and take them to try if they're comfortable......"

Grandma diverted the conversation and took out a plastic bag from the bedside table, in which were three or four pairs of insoles, all delicately sewn.

"Thank you, Grandma, it's beautiful."

Liu Ningqing picked up the insole, looked at it, thought about it in her heart, and then asked her grandmother: "Grandma, do you still have the materials for the insole?" ”

"Do you want to make him an insole?" Grandma asked with a smile.

Liu Ningqing blushed and nodded: "Well, he helped me so much, I just returned it, and returned the courtesy......"

"I should thank people well, there is still a sewing machine at home, go ahead, but don't stay up too late."

Grandma touched her granddaughter's cheek and let her pass.

Looking at her granddaughter, who was getting taller and more mature, the grandmother showed a complicated expression.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren......"

……

Liu Ningqing came to the corner of the living room, where there was an honest pedal sewing machine, which was brought by her mother to marry.

Liu Ningqing looked at the materials placed next to him, picked up and marked them with a lime pen.

The bad guy's shoe size, she remembers very well.

At this point, the phone rings.

It's his.

"Qingqing, we have arrived at the hotel, are you still satisfied with my performance today?"

Xu Zhimu's grinning voice came from the phone.

Liu Ningqing remembered what her grandmother said just now, and her heart was a little confused, but as soon as his voice sounded, she was relieved.

"Well, grandma, she...... I like you too. ”

Liu Ningqing also said with a chuckle

"That's for sure, I'm so handsome and chic, respect the old and love the young, who doesn't like it?" Xu Zhimu was stinky, but his tone suddenly changed: "But...... I'm a little unhappy today. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Liu Ningqing's movement of collecting insoles stopped, and asked a little worriedly.

"I haven't given a goodnight kiss today, do you think I can be happy? Say, how are you going to compensate me as a woman? ”

Xu Zhimu's serious voice came from the phone.

In an instant, you could hear Wang Ningning's voice next to the phone, "I can't stand this dog food".

Liu Ningqing gently pursed her pink lips, her eyes were like stars, bright and gentle.

"Then I'll give you a dream, if you can't dream, it means that you are not sincere, and you don't care about my business......"

Liu Ningqing snorted softly, and she couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhimu was stunned for a while.

"Qingqing, who did you learn these words from now?"

"Learn ...... from a bad guy who loves to take advantage"

"Okay, you little Qingqing, wait for me to clean you up tomorrow, you have good fruit to eat!"

Xu Zhimu felt as if he had been suddenly pinched, how could this work?

Men have to take the initiative, they have to be on top!

But then Liu Ningqing's words made Xu Zhimu stunned again.

I only heard a smile in the voice of the junior sister, like a spring breeze, and replied quietly and steadily.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After that, he didn't even give Xu Zhimu a chance to react, and hung up the phone directly.

Xu Zhimu was stunned for a long time, looked at the page where his phone was hung up, and suddenly laughed.

And under the same moonlight, the girl lying on the sewing machine was as shy as a glow at the moment, and the blush on her face was better than all the delicate flowers in this world.
