"Eat at my place at noon." After the two entered the house, the grandmother said to An Ran, "Today is Sunday, you have no class, right?" I'll ask Ah Qiu to make something to eat for you. ”

Ah Qiu is the cook in Grandma An's house.

Grandpa An has passed away a long time ago, and now Grandma An lives alone in the small white building where the family once lived, and is taken care of by Ah Qiu and two other nannies.

Ah Qiu is a live-in nanny, who is responsible for Grandma An's diet and night care.

The other two nannies are responsible for cleaning the upstairs and downstairs, as well as maintaining the house and the small garden.

"Okay." An Ran agreed.

She decided to come to Grandma's place today, but she also decided to stay longer.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Everything."

"Lidong today, I'll let Ah Qiu make you mutton soup to eat later, mutton stewed white radish." Grandma An happily pulled An Ran to the small flower fabric sofa by the window and sat down, and took out several food plates from the cabinet next to her and placed them on the small coffee table beside An Ran.

The food plate is filled with dried fruits, biscuits and other snacks, as well as fruits.

She picked up one of the fruit bowls containing persimmons, put it between herself and An Ran, and took out one for her, "Taste this persimmon, it was grown in the backyard of the house." ”

"Are the persimmons ripe at home?" An Ran happily took the persimmon given by her grandmother, looked at it carefully, and the persimmon in her hand was beautiful and soft, and it was ripe orange-red.

"Precocious." Grandma An put down the plate and took out a persimmon and peeled it herself, "Yesterday Ah Qiu and I picked a basket, and you will bring them back later, these were picked a few days ago." ”

"Okay." An Ran peeled the persimmon and accepted it, "But I can't take too much." ”

The main thing is that the persimmons are taken home, and there is no one at home to eat.

When I used to live with my grandmother, my adoptive mother said countless times that these persimmon trees and orange trees were not beautiful in the backyard of the house, and she never ate the fruits they produced.

Therefore, at that time, the fruit trees at home were all taken care of by her grandmother, and when the harvest was completed, her grandmother took her and An Jing to eat together, and when she couldn't finish eating, she led her neighbors to give them away.

Sometimes, when she and An Jing eat, they have to secretly avoid Mrs. An.

She wouldn't let them eat too much of these.

"Grandma gives you money, and you take a taxi back." Grandma An really wanted An Ran to bring all the persimmons back, "Take it back, eat it with my brother, if you can't finish it, distribute it to other workers, if you don't take it, I won't be able to eat it either, and the neighbors next to me will send everything that should be sent." ”

"It's too much, I can't move it." Even if you take a taxi, you can only take a taxi to the door of the community, and there is still a long way to go from the gate of the community to the home, "If it's too much, grandma, you can take me to see it later, okay, let's make them into persimmons together, and you can put them away and eat for a longer time." ”

"Persimmons?" Grandma An was surprised, "Persimmon cakes are delicious, can you make them?" ”

"I'll do it."

An Ran thought of the era of rampant media in his past life and after that, and sometimes he was stressed and couldn't solve it, so he liked to find all kinds of videos on the Internet such as handicrafts and food.

If you see more, you will inevitably want to do it yourself, and as you do it, you will have more and more things that you can do.

When a person knows more and more things, he will continue to gain a sense of accomplishment through the process of doing things, and improve his self-confidence and energy.

For Enron, doing handicrafts and cooking are all good ways to rejuvenate yourself.

So much so that later, whenever she was under a lot of pressure, very tired, and tired and couldn't settle down to have a good night's sleep, she relied on following the short videos on the Internet to make all kinds of delicious and fun things to settle down, and she couldn't help but be grateful to those bloggers who were willing to sincerely make content and share it.

"Really?" Grandma An looked at An Ran expectantly and suspiciously.

"Of course." An Ran smiled, "Why am I lying to you?" ”

"How do you know how to make persimmons?"

"I learned it online." An Ran understood Grandma An's suspicions very well, and simply explained to her, "There are some people who can make persimmons, and they will make videos of the methods and processes of making persimmons and put them on the Internet for everyone to see. ”

"That's good! I'll take you to see the persimmons right now. Grandma An got up and couldn't wait to take An Ran to see the persimmons, "You see if our persimmons are okay, if it's okay, we'll do it when we're resting." ”

"Okay." An Ran looked at Grandma An's happy appearance, and a smile appeared on her face.

Then, she followed Grandma An to a small room at the back of the first floor dedicated to storing various items, and at a glance she saw a bamboo basket full of persimmons placed in the open space of the room.

The sunlight outside the window falls through the open window, sprinkles on the persimmons, illuminates the persimmons crystal clear, and everything in front of you is as beautiful as a still life painting, and the fine dust floats slowly in the oblique light, making people forget the beating of time.

"Are these persimmons okay?" Grandma An walked to the basket full of persimmons and asked An Ran, "Will it be too raw?" ”

"It won't be raw, and you need a slightly harder persimmon like this to make persimmons." An Ran walked up to her, picked up a persimmon from the frame, and pinched it, "Later, we will peel off the persimmon, and then tie it up and dry it, this is the best." ”

"That's good, that's good." Grandma An was happy when she heard that the persimmons at home could be made into persimmons, "You tell me what you want to use to make it later, and I'll ask Ah Qiu to prepare it for us." ”

"A knife for peeling, a basket for persimmons, boiling water for soaking and peeling persimmons, twine and a drying rod for hanging persimmons, and enough sunlight."

"It's all there." Hearing An Ran's report, Grandma An turned around and called Ah Qiu.

She also muttered as she walked, "I just don't know what the weather will be like next, and I'll let Ah Qiu go to TV to read the weather forecast." ”

"It's a sunny day next week, so let's make persimmons today." An Ran followed her grandmother to the kitchen to find Ah Qiu.

"Ah Qiu." Grandma Ann shouted before she could enter the kitchen door.

"Mother-in-law."

Ah Qiu is a woman of about fifty, who has worked at Grandma An's house for a long time, and when An Ran used to live here with Antu, Ah Qiu also took care of their family.

She heard Grandma An's shout, and turned her head to see An Ran following her, "Ranran, why did you cut your hair so short?" ”

"Yes, it's easy to wash and easy to dry." An Ran stood behind Grandma An and looked at Ah Qiu with a smile.

Ah Qiu happily gathered around her, "Ran Ran has grown taller, just now I almost thought you were Young Master Jing." ”

"It's been growing faster lately."

Specifically, in the third year of junior high school, she grew very fast, almost in a state of seeing the wind, ten centimeters a year.

It's no wonder that Ah Qiu was surprised to see her.

"Lost weight." Ah Qiu looked at her and said with a distressed face, "It's hard to go to school." ”

"It's not hard, it's fun to go to school." Enron shook his head.

"Ran Ran has good grades and likes to go to school." Grandma An said beside her, "Ah Qiu, please help me prepare some tools for making persimmon cakes, and then stew the mutton, let's eat mutton soup at noon." ”

"Okay." Ah Qiu's hands and feet are nimble, and his personality is also fiery, when he heard Grandma An's instructions, he turned his head and immediately wanted to do the work, "Mother-in-law, are you going to make persimmons from the family into persimmon cakes?" ”

"Yes." Grandma An said happily, "Ran Ran said that you can make persimmons, and you can make them with us later, and when you learn it, we will make it ourselves next year." ”

"Okay, okay." Ah Qiu is also very happy about making persimmons by himself.

Wait until Ah Qiu goes to prepare the tools.

An Ran and Grandma An went back to the living room window and sat down on the sofa.

Ah Qiu prepared the tools, and quickly made a pot of longan red date apple tea and brought it over, "Ranran, drink some tea to warm up." ”

The bright and warm sunlight sprinkled on An Ran and Grandma An, she picked up a cup of tea, looked at the face of the grandmother next to her who was illuminated by the autumn light and her white hair, remembering that when she was a child, her grandmother often took herself to sit in this seat, holding a book on her lap, and reading it to her, that was her favorite and happiest time.

The cabinet behind my grandmother was full of things, including dried flowers, various porcelain ornaments, quartz clocks, etc., as well as books, and the cabinets and things placed were wiped clean and neatly arranged.

Each item looks old, but it is full of retro charm and texture.

"My grandmother hasn't lost the books I read when I was a child." On the bookshelf behind her grandmother, she saw a rotten Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

"It's all books, how can you lose them?" Grandma turned her head to look at the cabinet behind her with books, "It's okay." ”

"My mother-in-law still often takes it out to see it." Ah Qiu heard the conversation between An Ran and her grandmother, and interjected with a smile.

"Grandma likes to read, I'll bring you some next time." Grandma Ann has read books, graduated from high school, and she read a lot in her time.

"I don't need you to bring me anything." Grandma Ann smiled and said, "I'm glad you came to see me." ”

"Okay." Enron promised, "I will come to see you often in the future." ”

After drinking a pot of tea, the two moved to the small room where the persimmons were placed.

In the small room, Ah Qiu had already set up three small wooden chairs, bamboo baskets, knives and other tools.

After An Ran helped her grandmother sit down on the small wooden chair, she sat down next to her and picked up a knife to start peeling the persimmon, but found that her hand was very inconvenient and painful because of the injury to her palm.

"Ah Qiu, do you have any planers?" She looked up and asked Ah Qiu next to her.

"Yes." Ah Qiu got up and said, "I'll go get it." ”

Grandma An noticed her hand carefully, "Ran Ran's hand is injured, it's hard to peel, it hurts, right?" ”

"It hurts." An Ran said helplessly, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I won't be able to work hard today." ”

"Give what?" Grandma An didn't understand well, "You don't have to do it if your hands hurt, you just watch from the side." ”1314
