It takes at least an hour to walk back to Phoenix Village from the township, and at this time it is dark, and it is tossing back and forth, and when I come back, it will be midnight.

"Grandpa, you are sick, I don't worry, you have something important to talk about tomorrow."

Xie Laogen looked so anxious that he blushed and had a thick neck.

"No, no, you have to rush back as soon as possible, by the way, you bring these white-flour steamed buns back as well, you say that I am sick, what should the second lady do."

Xie Yuanjiu was stunned at first, but immediately reacted, the second lady in his grandfather's mouth was actually their neighbor, Mrs. Li.

This Mrs. Li's ancestor was a big family, and her grandfather was a long-term worker in their family.

After the liberation, their family was beaten into a landlord, and after Mrs. Li married to Fenghuang Village, few people knew her family background.

However, grandpa has always remembered that he has maintained the habit of calling Mrs. Li the second lady over the years.

Mrs. Li has a little mental problem and poor self-care ability, Xie Yuanjiu also knows, but he is still a little unhappy to go back and forth for more than two hours, just to send a few steamed buns back.

"Grandpa, don't worry about it, isn't there Yao Wenjing, he will take care of grandma."

None of them knew that Yao Wenjing had moved to live in the back village, and Xie Laogen was anxious to start getting out of bed again.

"You don't know, how mean the daughter-in-law of the second lady's family is, and the son doesn't work, I'm sick, she's afraid that she won't be able to get food for several days, Jing Yatou is good to grandma, but she is also a little girl, where do you think so thoughtfully, if you don't go back, I'll go back."

Xie Yuanjiu had no choice, and when he heard Xie Lao's words, he also felt that it made sense, he had just experienced Luo Xin's proposal to marry him, and he was afraid that the Yao family would not be at peace, and Yao Wenjing might not be able to think of going to the back village to see his grandmother.

"Okay, I'll go back, you can recuperate here with peace of mind, you can't go anywhere."

Xie Yuanjiu could only wrap three white-flour steamed buns in oiled paper, and then trotted towards Fenghuang Village.

In the plateau area, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and it is already hot enough to wear a vest bare-chested at noon, but at night, Xie Yuanjiu also deliberately put on a thin coat, and he still feels a little cold.

When I arrived at Phoenix Village, the whole village was dormant, and only a few dogs barked occasionally, but to Xie Yuanjiu's surprise, Mrs. Li's house was still lit up.

The dim kerosene lamp hung on the wall, and the silhouette of Mrs. Li could be seen from the wooden window, sitting under the lamp mending clothes, and humming a song in her mouth.

This scene is inexplicably warm.

Xie Yuanjiu laughed dumbly, grandpa just likes to make a fuss, what's wrong with Mrs. Li, this is not good.

knocked on the door and entered the house, and as soon as he entered the house, Xie Yuanjiu smelled a smell of meat in the house.

That's right, it's really meaty, I haven't smelled this for a long time, and this fragrance is not the same as other meaty fragrances, it seems to be mixed with other fragrances, which makes people suddenly have a big appetite, and the stomach can't help but growl twice.

In the end, he found that the fragrance was emitted from a large earthen bowl of braised pork on the table in the hall, and just glanced at it from a distance, Xie Yuanjiu couldn't control his swallowing.

Mrs. Li didn't recognize Xie Yuanjiu anymore, but she was still smiling, and she came up with a three-inch golden lotus and grabbed his hand.

"Why did you come back, we've been waiting for you for a long time, you're hungry, eat meat, the meat is delicious."

Xie Yuanjiu was a little foggy, waiting for him? How did Mrs. Li know that he would come back.

But he looked left and right in the house, and it was almost certain that there was no one else in the house except Mrs. Li.

The aroma of braised pork goes straight to the nostrils, and the meat not only smells fragrant, but also the color is quite good-looking, the meat that is smeared with soy sauce and burned with the skin is golden and golden, and red millet pepper is added to it, and a big bowl is burned with small potatoes.

There are also a few green onions sprinkled on the noodles, which are steaming at the moment, apparently just burned.

While speaking, Mrs. Li had already come out of the stove room, holding a bowl of sharp white rice in her hand, this season, every family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, she even cooked white rice.

No, I have to leave quickly, if I stay any longer, I will lose face, Xie Yuanjiu plans to give the steamed buns to Mrs. Li, so I will leave quickly and go back to the hospital.

In comparison, the cold white-flour steamed buns in his arms don't seem to be fragrant.

"Grandma Li, I'm here to bring this to you."

However, the steamed bun in Xie Yuanjiu's hand had not been taken out yet, and had already been pressed on the stool by Mrs. Li, and then the bowl of white rice was handed to him.

"Eat, why are you still stunned, eat meat, it's delicious."
