Chapter 33: The Hipster Old Lady
Shi Wanxi said to her grandmother: "Oh, grandma, I finally came back for a trip, what do I do with irrelevant people." Don't you ask me why I came back all of a sudden? ”
Grandma: "yes, why did you come back all of a sudden?" It was just when I was chasing dramas? ”
Shi Wanxi: "Let's not mention the drama, okay?" I'm coming back, of course, to see you, you see, I've brought you so many things. ”
Shi Wanxi took it out from the box as if offering treasures: "This is a massager, this is thermal underwear, this is a foot soaking bag, I also bought you a foot soaking bucket, but it is too big for me to take it, I asked the courier to send it directly, and it will arrive in a few days." Dangdangdang, the last gift is here! ”
Shi Wanxi took out a big red book and shook it a few times in front of her grandmother. Grandma said, "Don't shake, don't shake, dizzy." What's this? Gave me a notebook? Or is it red, in order to ward off evil spirits? ”
Shi Wanxi: "What a notebook, it's a real estate certificate!" Haven't you always hated living in a high-rise building and not being able to get the ground, I bought you a set of small stacks, one floor, indoor with elevator, outdoor courtyard, to meet your desire to farm at home. The most important thing is that it is in the city, not far from my parents' house, and it is only a ten minute drive away. ”
Her grandmother's living environment is not bad, she lives in this house that Shi Wanxi's parents specially picked for her, a small two-bedroom, although the house is not big, but there is an elevator. The important thing is that it is in the neighborhood next door to Shi Wanxi's parents' house, and it is also very convenient for them to come over to take care of the elderly.
Shi Wanxi thought for her grandmother: "What about you, in the future, you will grow vegetables and raise flowers, and if you have nothing to do, you will ask the little sister to come over and play cards." Don't worry about the house being too big and no one will clean it, hire an aunt and I'll pay for it. It's also convenient for my parents to come and live, anyway, the house has two floors, so they don't disturb each other. As for the way you live in this house now, I'll rent it out and let you be a charter wife too. ”
Grandma looked at Shi Wanxi through the edge of her reading glasses: "Are you rich?" ”
"Uh-huh." Shi Wanxi raised his head proudly.
Grandma: "By making those bad movies?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "What? What is a bad movie, oops, no, I can't make so much money just by filming, I'm engaged in investment. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's my birthday next week, and I want to eat your roasted tofu. ”
Grandma: "Aren't you disgusted, haven't you been on the lunar birthday for a long time?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "I've thought about it again now, okay?" ”
Grandma: "Okay, okay, I'll go change my clothes and go out to buy groceries for you." ”
Shi Wanxi sat on the sofa drinking water while waiting for her grandmother to change her clothes, and when her grandmother appeared in front of her again, Shi Wanxi squirted out a mouthful of water: "Poof...... Grandma, you're ......."
Grandma tied a simple ball head and wore a set of sportswear, although the lines are loose but very fashionable. Grandma wears two studs in both ears, which is a very fashionable and simple design. The most important thing is that grandma also lightly rubbed a layer of foundation on her face. Grandma's light makeup is not fake, but it cleverly covers the lines on her face that show the passage of time, and she also puts lipstick on her mouth to enhance the color, and the color is actually the most popular color.
Grandma: "What's wrong?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "No...... It's nothing. It is...... How did you suddenly become so fashionable. This dress and makeup are too young, let's go out together, you look like my mother, ah no, like my sister, no, like my sister. That's right, it's like my sister. ”
Grandma: "Your sister." ”
Shi Wanxi: "Why are you still scolding." ”
Shi Wanxi put on sunglasses and a mask and was about to take her grandmother out on the street, but her grandmother glanced at her: "What?" Afraid that people will recognize you as a star? Don't worry, you've made so many bad movies, and none of the characters can be remembered, and no one can recognize you when you walk down the street. ”
Shi Wanxi: "...... Then I always have to keep a low profile. ”
After going out, Wanxi realized that what her grandmother said was true. No one paid attention to her at all, and all eyes were on Grandma.
"Xiao Jing is out?" "Sister Jing is going out shopping." "Hours, look good today." That's right, Shi Wanxi's grandmother's name is Shi Jing. But as soon as she went out, she couldn't be quiet, and someone greeted her wherever she went.
finally arrived at the supermarket, Shi Wanxi pouted and said: "I understand, I'm not a star, grandma, you are a star." ”
Shi Wanxi said again: "Grandma, what are you...... Let go of yourself and live a wonderful life? Ran away for half a life and came back as a girl? ”
Grandma gave her a blank look: "You don't understand this, I'm reborn." ”
Shi Wanxi shrugged with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, rebirth, rebirth, congratulations to grandma for finding the meaning of life again." ”
On the day of Wanxi's lunar birthday, her grandmother brought her specialty dish "bamboo shoots and roasted tofu" to the table.
Bamboo shoot coat refers to the outermost layer of shell-shaped bamboo shoot skin of bamboo shoot leaves, which must be shelled and peeled off when used as an ingredient. Steaming bamboo shoots and tofu together can completely immerse the umami of bamboo shoots into the tofu, making the tofu extremely delicious. This dish is easier said than done, and requires a lot of patience and skill. This dish was very popular with large families during the Republic of China, but now the practice has almost been lost. Only Shi Wanxi's grandmother Shi Jing can do it.
Shi Wanxi picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it, closed her eyes and tasted it for a few seconds and said, "Well, yes, it's still the taste when I was a child." What I miss most about you is what I have missed most in Qingmen for so many years. ”
Grandma looked at Shi Wanxi and asked, "When do you plan to go back?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "Why did you want to drive me away just a few days after I came?" ”
Grandma: "When exactly are you going to go back?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "I don't plan to go back." I'm going to spend a little more time with you. ”
Grandma: "How long has it been?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "The new house I bought for you is finely decorated, you can move in with your bag, I will find someone to clean it in the past two days, and we can move." ”
Grandma: "You'll go back to Qingmen after you move?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "Grandma! I bought the new house, won't you let me live there for a few days? ”
Three months after my grandmother moved into her new home, my grandmother asked Shi Wanxi again: "You have lived there for almost half a year, when do you plan to return to Qingmen?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "Grandma! It's only been half a year, it's only been three months. As I said, I'd like to spend a little more time with you. In fact, Shi Wanxi didn't plan to leave when she came back this time, she planned to stay at home all the time and spend her last days with her grandmother. In this way, even if she can't get out of the cycle in her life, she has no regrets.
Grandma: "You're not filming?" ”
Shi Wanxi: "Didn't you say it, all the movies I made were bad movies, so what else did I shoot." ”
