"Cuilian."

A gentle and somewhat hurried voice came from the courtyard, interrupting Xia Youzhi and Zhang Qingqing's chat.

Xia Youzhi turned his head.

An old lady dressed plainly and cleanly, with her hair neatly combed, was walking towards them.

"Milk, you go slower."

Behind him was a tall, thin, swarthy boy.

When the two of them saw Xia You, they were obviously stunned for a moment.

"Are you...... Young? ”

The old lady asked with some hesitation.

Xia Youzhi smiled, "Grandma." ”

The old lady's eyes flushed all at once.

Who is rumored that Cuilian's daughter is ignorant?

Isn't that great?

"Milk, that's what you call it." Zhang Qingqing quipped.

She is now chatting with Xia Youzhi more and more in love.

"Hey." The old lady hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Child, you have suffered. ”

Zhang Qingqing on the side burst out laughing.

Isn't it a pain when people go home?

At the beginning, she was the eldest lady of the big family in the Song family.

Xia Youzhi glanced at Zhang Qingqing lightly.

Zhang Qingqing immediately covered her mouth and playfully made a gesture of closing her mouth.

The old lady was very comforted when she saw the interaction between Xia Youzhi and Zhang Qingqing.

The child still recognizes them.

This is the first time I have met my granddaughter, and the relationship is so good.

The morning sun on the side was also amazed.

He understands his sister, who looks delicate and weak, harmless to humans and animals, but he does a lot of naughty things.

The idea is still right, and no one will listen to it.

Now I'm obedient to this new cousin.

It seems that this cousin's ability is not small.

"Child, this is your Chaoyang cousin."

The old lady stepped forward to hold Xia Youzhi's hand and pointed to the rising sun on the side lovingly.

Chaoyang nodded at Xia Youzhi, "Young cousin." ”

"Cousin." Xia You greeted politely.

She didn't like people to have physical contact with her, but seeing the kindness on her grandmother's face, she didn't break free in the end.

"Mom."

Zhang Cuilian heard the old lady's voice in the kitchen, so she hurriedly walked out.

When he came out, he saw his mother holding his daughter's hand and asking for warmth, and his nephew and niece were standing aside.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and her mother's back seems to be hunched even harder.

Her mother gave birth late, and now she is almost eighty years old.

Xia Mu was a little sad.

The old lady turned her head sideways and saw Mother Xia.

She smiled and asked, "How long have you been back?" ”

Xia Mu nodded, and shook her head again, "It's not a long time, and it's only an hour to come back." My sister-in-law said that you went to the market with Chaoyang. ”

Chaoyang on the side hurriedly answered, "Yes, sister-in-law, I bought a bicycle and thought about taking my milk to the market, but she came back in a hurry not long after."

I didn't believe it at first, and I thought my grandmother didn't want to go shopping. I didn't expect to return to the village, but I heard from the sixth grandmother that you were back. ”

Thinking of his grandmother's prophecy, Chaoyang felt magical.

"This is probably the mother-daughter connection." The old lady smiled and said, "Cuilian came back and brought Youzhi with her." ”

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Xia Youzhi on the side lovingly.

The hand he held refused to let go.

Xia Youzhi smiled.

Grandma gave her a completely different feeling from the grandparents of the Xia family.

The grandparents were not close to her, but more in awe of her.

But grandma really regarded her as one of her grandchildren, which made her feel very affectionate.

"Mom, you sit down first, my sister-in-law and I are about to finish frying the dishes, and we will be able to eat soon." Xia Mu wiped her hands and said with a smile.

"You're going back to your mother's house, and you're still acting like I'm a guest." The old lady quipped.

She knows that her daughter has a good relationship with her daughter-in-law, and she has been playing together since she was a child, so she naturally doesn't care about these.

Xia Mu smiled, "This is my house, what am I polite about." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll help you." Chaoyang said.

"No, there's still your dad in the kitchen, it's time to eat, you don't have to do it."

After saying that, Xia Mu smiled and went back to the kitchen.

This is the first time Xia Youzhi has seen Xia Mu smile so relaxed.

Maybe...... You can go back to your grandmother's house more often in the future.

"Child, this is the candy that Grandma just bought at the market, you can taste it."

The old lady looked at Xia Youzhi lovingly, opened the bag on the side with her hand, and took out candy and biscuits.

She doesn't have much in retirement, but she likes to save some for her grandchildren on weekdays.

Life at home is difficult, but eating a few pieces of candy can always make them feel the sweetness of life.

"Thank you, grandma." Xia Youzhi took it obediently.

"Grandma, when one of them came, I fell out of favor, and now the sugar is not my share."

Zhang Qingqing on the side deliberately pouted and said.

"You leather monkey, I don't ask you to do it yourself on weekdays, what's wrong, your cousin is here today, you don't dare?" The old lady quipped.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Qingqing's face, "Milk, you save me some face." ”

"Save face for you, and you won't eat sugar?" Chaoyang smiled and mended the knife.

Xia Youzhi smiled at the scene in front of him.

The warm atmosphere of her grandmother's house made her very relaxed.

"Young, you eat. Don't pay attention to your cousins, they eat a lot. ”

As she spoke, the old lady handed over the biscuit again.

"Grandma, I'll take it myself." Xia Youzhi took it with a smile.

The old lady was afraid that she would be too timid to take it, so she stuffed a lot of it into her hand, causing Zhang Qingqing to scream on the side.

Not long after Xia Youzhi sat with the old lady, the dishes were served.

"So this is braised pork." Zhang Qingqing grabbed a pair of chopsticks and said in surprise.

"It's not big or small, and I won't give you milk first." Zhang Xiuxia hit the back of Zhang Qingqing's hand with chopsticks.

On weekdays, the Zhang family loves their children very much, but the tutoring is also very strict.

"Didn't I want to see it? I didn't plan to eat it myself. Zhang Qingqing said aggrievedly, and then gave the pork knuckle to the old lady, "Milk, you eat." ”

The old lady smiled and took it.

She looked at the pork knuckle, her eyes flashed, and then she turned her head to look at Xia Youzhi.

"This is researched by the young man?"

Xia Youzhi nodded, "Yes, grandma." When I was in Haizhou City before, I read a book by chance, and then I improved it blindly, and the taste was okay. ”

"It's talented, it's up to your grandfather."

The old lady thought of her deceased husband and was a little sentimental.

"Uncle, aunt, when it comes to this, I have to apologize to you." Xia Youzhi looked at Zhang Zhengyi and his wife, "My family makes that braised pork, and it is a recipe left by my grandfather."

I haven't been able to tell you about this in advance, and my mother is afraid that people will gossip about me, which will make you embarrassed. ”

Xia Youzhi naturally understood that Grandma brought out this in order to explain this matter clearly.

I think there is a lot of gossip from people outside.

Zhang Zhengyi glanced at his daughter-in-law.

He said that it was not left by his father, and his sister was not such a person.

Zhang Xiuxia showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

She has always believed in her sister-in-law.

But it's true that she hasn't moved around for most of the year, and Qingbo didn't come to report the good news when she was admitted to college, and the recipe for the braised pork was even more popular, so she said those bastard words.

"Youzhi, we must believe your mother in this matter, when your grandfather left, we were all there, what can he leave for your mother, and the eldest aunt is also fast-talking." Zhang Xiuxia was a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, aunt, I've always wanted to come to the house, but I just returned to Xia's house at that time, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Now this braised pork is okay, but I have to go to school later, and my parents are at home, and there are not enough people, so I want to let Cousin Qingqing help, and we will calculate the salary. Xia Youzhi took the opportunity to propose.

Xia Mu also nodded on the side.

"What do you need to pay, it's all a family, so you can't be too busy to ask your cousin to help." Zhang Xiuxia waved her hand.

"Auntie, we have to work for a long time, if we don't get paid, it will definitely not work, we have to hire someone else." The way of summer young.

Zhang Xiuxia paused and looked at her daughter.

Zhang Qingqing's eyes were full of longing.

Zhang Xiuxia pondered for a while, "Youzhi, I won't tell you, your cousin has also reached marriageable age, I thought to your uncle, help her take a good look at others, she is not like you, you are a scholar, her conditions are not good, and she is ......"

Zhang Xiuxia stopped talking at once.

"And I'm what?" Zhang Qingqing said sarcastically, "And I'm disabled, so I have to sell it for a good price early?" ”

"Qingqing, how did you talk to your mother." Zhang Zhengyi put down his chopsticks heavily, "Your mother is also for your good." ”

"For my own sake, let me marry those old bachelors? Or do you want me to marry someone who can't move half of his body? Zhang Qingqing's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Chaoyang hurriedly pulled off Zhang Qingqing's clothes and shook his head at her.

"Mom and Dad also want you to be good, those people, does your mother agree?" Zhang Zhengyi looked at his daughter seriously, "Even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, at home, your parents will support you." ”

Zhang Qingqing's tears suddenly held back.

Of course she knew that her parents wouldn't let her marry those people.

But she also felt bitter in her heart.

"Qingqing, big brother promises, we won't let you marry those people." Chaoyang said seriously.

Even if his parents are no longer there, he will be able to support his sister for the rest of his life.

There was a sudden silence at the dinner table.

Xia Youzhi listened to it on the sidelines, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

"This matter is up to Qingqing, it's up to the mother, we have to respect Qingqing's opinion in this matter." The old lady said lightly.

But everyone's faces were still heavy.

"Uncle, aunt. There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, if the young man is wrong, don't blame him. Xia Youzhi opened his mouth.

"Son, you say."

Zhang Zhengyi nodded and said, and everyone also looked at Xia Youzhi.

"Uncle, aunt. I know you're worried about your cousin's marriage, but my cousin is only seventeen years old, and she married early in the country, but it would be okay to delay it for another two years.

Of course, I also know your concerns, my cousin's left finger has some problems, and the conditions of our family are not too good, so I can't find a good one for a while, so it's better to slow down. ”

Xia Youzhi smiled, "My cousin went to help us out, and she was paid dozens of yuan a month, so she could earn some money."

Moreover, it is also a serious job, and when the matchmaker sees it, he can also look at it a few points, and maybe the conditions of the man introduced will be better. ”

As soon as Xia Youzhi's words were finished, the old lady nodded.

"What the young man said is reasonable, what does your family think, boss?" The old lady looked at Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Zhengyi.

After all, they are the parents of the child, and she can't interfere too much in the affairs of her son's family, otherwise it is easy to cause conflicts.

Xia Youzhi heard his grandmother's question, and unconsciously glanced at this kind old man.

Her grandmother really can carry it.

Do not interfere in the affairs of juniors.
