Chapter 7: Unpretentious
Picked up the cotton coat stained with dirt on the ground, and put it on his body directly without being picky, buttoned it up, and walked towards Sijiu City with his hands.
It's still early today, and it's okay to go back too early, so let's just take a good look around the four or nine cities first, strolling along the way, and stopping to take a look at what is new, looking like a country bun.
But Zhao Yi didn't care about the night of others, he just wanted to be happy with himself, he ate a lot of food along the way, his stomach was mixed with a semicircle, look at the sun, and change his mind to taste the famous roast duck.
Holding the pickles he had just bought, he went back to the small courtyard, imagining the scene when the little girl was happy when she saw herself, and her heart suddenly became much brighter and happier.
Approaching the small courtyard, seeing that there was no one around, he took out some things from the space and put them in his hands, and then pushed open the small courtyard and entered the courtyard door, the door in the main house opened, and the little guy poked his head out from behind the door curtain.
Seeing that it was Zhao Yi, he ran out excitedly, "Uncle Zhao, you're back, my mother just said that I'll cook when you come back!" ”
The little girl gradually became familiar with Zhao Yi from the beginning of her restraint, it may be that Zhao Yi also likes this lively and lovely girl in her heart, so the two have become closer and closer these days.
"Guess what good things Uncle Zhao brought you back?" , Looking at the little face looking up at him, Zhao Yi squatted down and teased the other party.
"Oh, I don't know, Uncle Zhao, just tell me!" , coquettishly tugging at Zhao Yi's sleeve.
"Now, I won't tease you, here you go!" , took the thing in Zhao Yi's hand, and immediately screamed happily.
"It's a little frog, an iron frog that can jump!"
Looking at the little girl holding the toy happily and excitedly, Zhao Yi was also in a much happier mood, the toy was bought by Zhao Yi passing by, and he just wanted to go in and feel the shopping experience of this era, and the result was indeed very special.
But it's also a novel experience, except for the salesperson's love to buy or not.
Seeing the little girl squatting on the ground and playing with toys, Zhao Yi carried things into the house.
"What makes this girl so happy?" , The old lady looked at Zhao Yi who entered the house.
"Hey, it's nothing, I just bought a gadget for this girl!"
The curtain at the door was pushed open like a gust of wind, and the little girl with a red face rushed in, "Zuzu, grandma, you see the little frog that Uncle Zhao bought for me, it will jump by itself!" ”
After that, he excitedly twisted the clockwork and put it on the kang to show everyone, lying on the edge of the kang, and excitedly watched the little frog jumping and jumping.
"Xiaoxue, have you thanked Uncle Zhao then?"
Yin Tao looked at Xiao Xue and then at Zhao Yi, who looked doting, and asked at Xiao Xue.
The little girl came back to her senses a little when she heard Yin Tao's stern words, got up from the edge of the kang, looked at Yin Tao timidly, and cast a look for help to the old lady on the kang.
The old lady pretended not to see it, and just lowered her head and pasted the cardboard box in her hand, as if she didn't see it at all.
Seeing that Zuzu was helpless for help, the little girl had to face her mother's storm alone, and her little face instantly became aggrieved, "No, I forgot!" ”
As he spoke, mist accumulated in his eyes, and teardrops the size of beans rolled and fell on his eyes.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" , and then turned to Zhao Yi and thanked him.
Zhao Yi didn't say anything to persuade him, people discipline their own children, and they really have no reason to interject, and they also teach the team, don't you see that the old lady is sitting on the kang with the old god and doesn't intervene.
touched the little girl's little head and wiped the tears from her face for the little girl, "It's okay, Uncle Zhao doesn't blame you!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yi's gentle and comforting words, the little girl turned her head and looked at Yin Tao with a pleading.
"Not next time!"
"Well, I remember!"
Looking at Yin Tao educating Xiaoxue with a straight face, Zhao Yi felt that compared with the quiet Yin Tao in the past, he had added a few different charms, and he was a little fascinated for a while.
Yin Tao, who turned his head, was about to talk to Zhao Yi, when he met Zhao Yi's gaze at once, the two looked at each other, and then withdrew at the same time, Zhao Yi hurriedly staggered his gaze.
No matter how I say it, I have experienced the brilliance of the Internet, why am I still stunned, it's really embarrassing.
"Don't spend this money in the future, it's too expensive!"
Looking at the quiet appearance of the person in front of him, listening to the gentle words of persuasion, he actually didn't blame himself for being distracted, after all, a person with such a clean temperament was almost extinct in that era.
"It's nothing, I just saw it, so I bought it and gave it to Xiaoxue, after all, I like this little guy too!"
"Hmm!" , Yin Tao nodded, didn't say anything to Zhao Yi, just looked at the little girl, looking at the other party's gentle way of handling, Zhao Yi became more and more satisfied with this family.
"It's not that I haven't had lunch yet, I bought some pig's trotters and came back today, how about we eat braised pig's trotters today?"
Looking at the few big pig's trotters that Zhao Yi brought out of the bag, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted, and even the crying little girl instantly turned sad into joy.
"Here, I'll give you the ingredients to the chef, haha, we'll wait to eat!" , handed the ingredients in his hand to Yin Tao as he spoke, and there were some spices by the way.
Looking at the few pig's feet handed in front of him, Yin Tao had no choice but to take them, and then turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Uncle Zhao, shall we eat pig's trotters at noon?"
"Yes, eat pig's trotters, let's have one by one, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I can eat a whole!"
Looking at Zhao Yi, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and playing with the little guy, a kind gaze flashed in the old lady's dim eyes, "Xiaoxue, what are you eating at home, don't talk nonsense when you go out of the yard, otherwise you won't be able to eat in the future, do you hear?" ”
Looking at her ancestor's serious eyes, the little girl seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she could feel that this was a serious matter, and nodded solemnly, "Well, Zuzu, I won't say it, and I won't say it if anyone asks!" ”
Zhao Yi looked at the old lady who turned her head and didn't say anything, but his heart warmed a lot.
"Thank you, old lady!"
"Silly boy, it's grandma who should thank you!"
Looking at the old lady's kind face under the mottled white hair, "That's not good, I still think I should thank you!" ”
"If you say so, then the pig's trotters at noon, grandma and I will eat a whole one!"
"Haha, okay, it's enough for you to eat, if it's not enough, I'll buy it for grandma, I'll make sure you have enough to eat!"
I didn't expect the old lady to have such a witty and humorous appearance, and Zhao Yi was also amused.
"Haha, good grandson!"
Looking at the old lady's playful eyes, Zhao Yi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, "But isn't it, what you said is true!" ”
The room was suddenly bursting with laughter, and the little girl looked at Zuzu and Uncle Zhao ignorantly, and she didn't know what to say about laughing so happily, but she also laughed silly in the atmosphere.
Yin Tao, who was in the kitchen, listened to the words of the outhouse, and a smile also filled his quiet cheeks, which made him look more and more beautiful and moving.
After a while, the room was filled with a tempting aroma, and the little girl Huaibo, her cherished little frog, turned her head to look at the kitchen from time to time.
Zhao Yi sat cross-legged on the kang, and also imitated the old lady's example to help glue the cardboard box, and his technique gradually became faster and clumsy.
"Eldest grandson, how is your livelihood and what your relatives are helping to find?"
The old lady seemed to be in a much relieved mood from the joke just now, and she chatted with Zhao Yi a lot.
"It's been almost the same recently, I've been out for a long time, and if I can't stabilize my family, I should be in a hurry!"
"Yes, it's good to stabilize, live a good life in the future, be safe and stable, safe and sound, better than anything else!"
"Grandma, you're right!" , Listening to the old lady's teachings, Zhao Yi was also very cooperative.
"Haha, eldest grandson, you're really a ghost!" The old lady was amused and laughed.
The two kept chatting, the little girl was lying on the kang and playing with her little frog, and the busy figure in the kitchen loomed, accompanied by the smell of people's food and laughter.
With laughter, the four of them sat around the kang table, no one had a soft and attractive pig's trotters, took out the liquor that was not drunk last time, poured Yin Tao on it, and opened it with the collision of crisp porcelain bowls.
The little girl hugged the pig's trotters and gnawed on her face full of oil, like a little milk dog, amusing a table of people.
After the meal, the little guy who stroked his round little belly lay on the old lady's lap, burping from time to time, and the old lady and Yin Tao also ate a lot, but they didn't eat like the little guy.
Zhao Yi turned over and got off the table, then came back to his room, and took a little hawthorn slices and tea leaves from the supermarket.
"Brew some tea and go to the intestinal greasy, otherwise I am afraid that the intestines will not be able to stand it!" , Yin Tao took the tea handed over.
Zhao Yi took out the hawthorn slices and handed them to the old lady and the little girl, "Eat some, come and eat!" ”
"Uncle Zhao, this is so sweet!"
"Well, just eat a few more pieces of sweetness, this hawthorn will be eaten, otherwise your little belly will be swollen for a long time!"
"Hehe, it's okay Uncle Zhao, I'm happy when my stomach is full!"
Zhao Yi gently stroked the little girl's little head, looked at Yin Tao who brought the tea, handed over a few pieces of hawthorn, Yin Tao passed by, ate a piece, felt the sweetness in his mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After dinner, Zhao Yi went back to his house as usual, and then fell asleep, he still had a deal waiting tonight.
In a drowsy state, the door seemed to be pushed open, but he didn't care who it was, and his precious belongings were stored in the supermarket space.
After a slight sound, the room fell silent.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yi, who woke up, opened his eyes, the living road in the room was burning, exuding warmth, and his padded jacket was neatly placed on the stool and roasted on the fire.
You don't have to think about it to know that Yin Tao saw that he didn't light a fire to light the stove, and so did the padded jacket, this is really a good girl.
