Chapter 53: Grandma Xianghua's Fat Slices
Wen Yan tasted the salted duck eggs sent by Su Xiangwen and thought it was very delicious.
Especially just after knocking on the big skull, only a few peels, the red oil inside can't wait to burst and flow out, the straight people love and hate, disgusted with the oil that came out of the dirty hands, and just want to eat a big bite of porridge and rice quickly.
The egg yolk is naturally the most delicious part, but it can be eaten together with the egg white, not salty or light, just right, so that it has more taste.
It's a pity that she wants to make egg yolk dumplings, so she can only tearfully give up the opportunity to eat yellow and white together.
Su Xiangwen had just come back from the field, still carrying a basket of grass cut to feed the donkey, and the little donkey was not far behind him.
When he approached the entrance of the village, he saw Wen Yan not far from the entrance of the village, and thought that he was hallucinating, and he was annoyed that he was becoming more and more disproportionate, and he began to think about it in broad daylight.
Annoyed in his heart, people were also stunned to ignore Wen Yan, intending to break the illusion by turning a blind eye.
Wen Yan only felt strange.
is good, Su Xiangwen didn't answer her phone at first, but now that someone is in front of him, he can also be pretended to be invisible, how can he dislike him?
She couldn't think of a reason, so she simply called someone and asked, "Su Xiangwen, where did I provoke you?" ”
When she said this, she was a little unhappy.
Su Xiangwen was shocked and dropped the basket, and almost let the donkey go.
He wiped his face a few times and hurriedly tidied up his clothes, but he only felt as if he had made himself a little dirtier.
"You, you, I......" He was nervous and busy for a while, and then he was shocked: "You know it's me?" ”
Wen Yan only then realized that she had just called out the person's name.
However, she was also quick to admit generously: "yes." ”
"Then, then I ...... before" Su Xiangwen only felt that the previous concealment was ridiculous.
His face was full of apologies: "I'm sorry. ”
"In that case, why don't you treat me to a meal as compensation?" Wen Yan was generous, obviously not caring much.
Su Xiangwen breathed a sigh of relief, and was very grateful that she gave the steps, not embarrassment.
Although it is embarrassing, it is a bit unfounded.
"Okay."
He picked up the basket that fell on the ground again, and pulled out a small bamboo basket with a narrow mouth from a pile of donkey grass: "I went to the cage in the morning, and when I just got up, there were a lot of loaches and small fish and shrimp. ”
"Okay."
Wen Yan smiled, looking casual.
Su Xiangwen took Wen Yan home.
He enthusiastically introduced his grandmother to Wen Yan: "This is my grandmother, Su Xianghua, the children of our generation, they all like to call her Grandma Xianghua, if you don't mind, you can also call Grandma Xianghua like us." ”
Wen Yan felt that this grandmother was probably a very interesting person, with a nice name, and she was very kind and friendly when she laughed, as if the years had not given her the slightest tempering, only endless gentleness and calmness, so that her whole person had a sense of peace of mind and sincere convincing closeness.
"Grandma Xianghua." She laughed and shouted.
I was already looking forward to the breakfast and brunch that I was waiting for.
Su Xiangwen handed over the small bamboo basket to Grandma Xianghua, and introduced Wen Yan to the same person.
"Good boy." Grandma Xianghua pulled people enthusiastically, looked at them carefully for a while, and couldn't close her mouth happily: "With our little mosquito, you are a pair of wall people with a talented woman, okay, you two must be good, when you get married, grandma will give you a bed of 100 quilts!" ”
"Grandma!!" Su Xiangwen was really taken aback by Grandma Xianghua's amazing words.
Wen Yan was a little crying and laughing.
"Grandma Xianghua, you misunderstood, I'm not Su Xiangwen's girlfriend." She said.
Grandma Xianghua's gaze circled back and forth on the two of them, and finally shook her head, glared at Su Xiangwen again, and then warmly beckoned Wen Yan to sit in the room: "...... I'm going to cook, and you two are talking inside. ”
As he spoke, he glared at Su Xiangwen twice: "If you have some eyesight, go and pour some sweet wine for Yan Yan to taste, as well as the steamed dumplings and Jiang rice noodles that I just fried in the morning, you can grab some for others, as well as melon seeds and peanuts, and take them over." ”
"I don't know when you made steamed dumplings, and there are ...... Jiang rice noodles" Su Xiangwen couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Where are the melon seeds and peanuts placed." ”
Grandma Xianghua snorted twice, and said with some disgust: "Of course I can't let you, a big gluttonous cat, know, I originally prepared for the children in the village primary school, and they have exams in the past two days, of course, there must be rewards." ”
"Then I'm going to give them a review of the papers, and they should be rewarded together!" Su Xiangwen was obviously much more relaxed and casual in front of Grandma Xianghua, and he didn't see the restraint he had in front of Wen Yan or even Xu Changwei.
Grandma Xianghua pushed people away in disgust: "A handful of old people, but they have the face to learn to beg for candy and eat from children, go and go, don't get in the way of me cooking, don't let the girls wait in a hurry, I don't know how to be considerate, no wonder I can't catch up with others!" ”
Su Xiangwen: ......
"Don't talk nonsense." His tone was slightly embarrassed: "Especially don't say it in front of Wen Yan." ”
He naturally had a youthful throbbing that did not fit his age at this time, and he was usually able to speak well, and when he was talkative with others, he could always talk far and wide, as if he could catch any topic, but now he somehow, like a stunned boy who was talking about love for the first time, full of affection that he wanted to express, and only the period of Ai Ai was left in his mouth.
Thinking about it, he was still red-skinned, and the hot temperature made him feel like a fire, and he just wanted to quickly pour a scoop of cold water on his head, and quickly sober up and calm down.
Su Xiangwen carried a few snacks and fruits, steamed peanuts, Jiangmi noodles and melon seeds, and also brought home-brewed sweet wine.
"It is said to be my grandmother's ancestral craft, when I was not married in the past, I often made it with my sisters in the family, sweet, but it is difficult to pull out a few similarities with the wine, and I don't know why it is called sweet wine, I think it is more like fruit wine, but there is some taste of thick wine, it also seems to be rice wine, I can't say what it is, anyway, my grandmother is very stubborn and said to us that it is sweet wine, do you want to taste it? What has no degree is indeed sweet. ”
Su Xiangwen had a lot of rare words, so many that Wen Yan was a little surprised.
She sat across from the person and took a sip of sweet wine, which was very delicate, and it really had nothing to do with wine, and it was very similar to rice wine, but not very similar......
She couldn't help but be curious, and took two more sips.
But I can't say what it is, so it's just called sweet wine.
"It's delicious." Wen Yan smiled at the people: "Grandma Xianghua is ingenious. ”
Su Xiangwen also scooped a bowl of sweet wine for herself, and said with a smile: "According to what she told us, she once worked as a companion maid for the eldest lady in a big family, so she had to know a little bit of everything, so that she could always have new ideas and please the eldest lady. ”
He said: "But we always feel that there is water in these words, and she is only sixty years old this year, and her age is not like she can match it, but she does not allow us to refute it, so we can only believe it and listen to it as the truth." ”
"You guys?" Wen Yan looked at the person.
Su Xiang snorted: "We are all orphans picked up in the village, some of them were born in this village, but my parents were not there for a long time, I was picked up by Grandma Xianghua from elsewhere, and at first there were many families vying to raise me, I still remember when I was young, I often were the children of this family in these months, and I had to call the two people in the family Mom and Dad, and in those months I became the children of that family, and I had to call the other two people Mom and Dad, and the most interesting thing is that the grandparents were often the grandparents at the beginning, But Mom and Dad are not the same mom and dad. ”
He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Maybe some people were my uncle a while ago, and after a while they became my father, and the original father became an uncle again......"
Wen Yan was slightly stunned, and there was a moment of empathy.
"It wasn't until I was nine years old that no one was vying for me, and I was taken home by Grandma Xianghua and became a part of the family."
Su Xiangwen said calmly: "Grandma Xianghua is not my own grandmother, she has never been married in her life, nor has she had children, she was fierce and independent when she was young, and when she was middle-aged, she raised us children who no one wanted as her own descendants." ”
Wen Yan was shocked by the greatness of Grandma Xianghua, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Xiangwen's childhood.
Just looking at his seemingly relaxed face, and he never had any self-pity when he mentioned the past, she felt that comfort was out of place.
Simply chat with people on the side to make the topic gradually relaxed.
The two talked about all kinds of interesting things in Tiannan and Haibei, and talked about the troubles of their childhood from time to time, but there seemed to be many endless topics, and from time to time there were all kinds of haha sounds outside the house.
Grandma Xianghua, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
Su Xiangwen is more than twenty-seven years old this year, but he is innocent and has never even pulled a girl's hand, and he doesn't care much about himself.
She has always been worried about this child's marriage, worried that he will have a lifetime of bachelor's life, but now she is much more relieved, and she already has the direction of being a mother-in-law in her heart.
Lunch didn't start until almost 12 o'clock.
In addition to the small fish sauce, Grandma Xianghua also cleaned up the loach fish, killed them with salt, and fried them in a pan until crispy and golden.
Another pot of cabbage vermicelli was stewed, dried tofu and pork belly were added, and some fungus scrambled eggs were soaked.
Wen Yanzhi said that it was too polite, just eat some simple homely food, why is it so grand, and there are only three of them, I am afraid that it will not be able to eat and waste.
Grandma Xianghua felt that it was still missing: "...... It's far from the big bazaar, and the smaller market closes early before eight o'clock, so it's too late to buy some ribs and hens, or at least you should have to stew another pot of soup! ”
Wen Yanlian said that it was too polite.
The three of them each moved a small bench, and the dining table was supported in the courtyard, and there was a shed with a loofah stand, which was cool and windy, and it made people feel comfortable, and they only felt that they could eat an extra half a bowl of rice.
During the meal, Grandma Xianghua had to give Wen Yan dishes from time to time, and Wen Yan was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.
"Grandma, you don't have to clip it for me, I can clip it if I want to eat, don't worry about me, delay your own meal." Wen Yanwan rejected the chopsticks that Grandma Xianghua raised again.
Especially the extra fat slices in her bowl.
She didn't have much aversion to fat in the first place. It's just that this piece is probably really too fat.
Before I could eat it, my stomach couldn't stop churning, let alone chewing it.
Wen Yan couldn't help but vomit.
Grandma Xianghua looked distressed: "Eh, this kid ......"
She reluctantly took it from the table and put it in her mouth.
It seems that he doesn't dislike the saliva stained on it, and he has even been chewed a few times.
Wen Yan: ......
She felt that the discomfort caused by the fat slices just now did not seem to disappear as she spit out the fat meat, but became more uncomfortable.
After hastily pulling the rest of the rice, she offered to eat her fill.
Grandma Xianghua looked at the people who had fled from the table and pursed her lower lip slightly.
When Wen Yan walked farther, she looked at Su Xiangwen with some hurt: "Am I messing with your marriage?" ”
She clenched some chopsticks: "I'm not your own grandmother, you have to make it clear to her." We won't live together when you're married...... If she wants to hate me, don't hate you for it. ”
Su Xiangwen was also stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
He looked at Grandma Xianghua, it was impossible to blame an old man who was used to frugality, and he was reluctant to throw away anything, after all, they had something they couldn't eat before, and so did Grandma Xianghua.
It can be said that he has long been accustomed to it, and he does not feel any discomfort, but he does not agree.
But in the same way, he wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with Wen Yan.
It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't react for a while.
Now listening to people's words, I can't help but feel guilty.
"It's none of your business......" he pale reassuring.
Those who have come through hard times are not willing to lose half a grain of rice.
Grandma Xianghua felt sad: "Actually, Xiao Du often told me that this habit is very bad, very unhygienic, and impolite...... He didn't even want to go home to eat with me, but I couldn't. ”
Xiao Du is another child raised by Xianghua's grandmother, about the same age as Su Xiangwen.
Not only Xiao Du, in fact, among the nine children raised by Grandma Xianghua, except for Su Xiangwen, there are basically few who will come back to visit her.
Better, that is, send some money back during the New Year's holiday.
Outside, they have always called themselves orphans.
Grandma Xianghua felt very guilty for what had just happened.
She felt that she was afraid that she was going to scare away Su Xiangwen's future marriage partner and become a big sinner who killed Su Xiangwen and beat a bachelor.
Wen Yan was just a little ...... for a while Well, shock.
In my past life, I have never encountered this kind of thing, and I may not know what to do for a while...... Treat.
That's why I feel full.
The feeling of losing her appetite in an instant is probably in line with her state at this time?
Indescribable feeling.
She wandered out alone, and she was really worried that she would face the disappointed eyes of an old man when she went back, after all, people did their best to cook a table of dishes, just to treat her.
