78. Mother and daughter walk together
The old man didn't hide from this little girl of the ghost. "Now the people who take care of us are not too strict. As long as we stay here honestly, it's usually no big deal."
"Grandpa Zuo, you eat less at night. My mother has made delicious food and will bring it to you. You can wait here after dinner. I'll come as soon as possible."
To be honest, the old man didn't say to eat less, even let him eat more. During this period, he was really panicked. Hearing that there was delicious food, Zuo Zhanshan couldn't help nodding, "Okay, I'll wait for you here then."
For dinner, Zhang Lan really didn't go back on her promise. She stuffed a large pot of rice, got some cucumbers from the space and mixed a pot of cold dishes with the shrimp skin given by her mother's family. At the same time, she stewed a tofu carp. Mingyuan saw that the table was so rich that her saliva was
"Mom, come to dinner soon." He couldn't wait to greet Zhang Lan to the table quickly.
Wang Zhenhe was a little confused when he saw the cucumber. "Daughter-in-law, have the cucumbers in the field come down? I went to see it yesterday, but it hasn't been settled yet.
Zhang Lan explained with a smile, "That's what my mother brought from the mountain. Their family seems to have planted new varieties this year. It's too early. Let's eat it quickly."
Wang Zhenhe, who has delicious food, is not in inquired about the source of this thing. "Well, it's really delicious. This cucumber tastes really good." Even Mingcheng has eaten this variety that is different from what he used to eat.
"Xian'er, take a big bite. It's not enough to have it in the pot." Zhang Lan saw that her eldest daughter was reluctant to eat and advised her.
"Mom, if only I could eat rice every day in the future," Ming Yuan said reluctantly while eating delicious rice.
Wang Qian couldn't help laughing when she saw the little brother like that. "Brother, let mom cook it for you every day in the future."
Mingyuan shook his head at this time, "It's not good, sister, we don't have so much food, and we don't have money to buy rice. It's good to have cakes to eat."
The child's words made the couple feel sad. "Mingyuan, mom told you a secret. Can't anyone say that they know?"
Seeing the four children nod together, Zhang Lan told Wang Qian about picking up the fine grain. "So our family can eat white steamed buns in the future, but you guys should have a good mouth and don't miss it."
As soon as they heard that they could eat white-faced steamed buns in the future, several children couldn't help drooling. In the past, they could get one during the Spring Festival, and then they could eat a meal of white-faced dumplings, which they couldn't usually eat at all.
Mingyuan was the first to stand up and promise, "Mom, don't worry, I will never say it, and I won't say it even if I die."
His words made Wang Qian suddenly think of the line of a movie, "I won't say it even if I die."
"Well, we certainly won't say that if there is delicious food, we will eat it secretly at home, and we won't eat it outside."
Mingcheng still knows a lot. It's not easy to explain when you eat outside. The conditions of their family are there. Don't do it. Let people talk about him behind his back**.
The children's sensibleness makes the couple feel that they are more and more hopeful these days. "Zhanhe, I've boiled some water in the small house. You can wash it with your two sons later. It's easy to sweat in hot weather, and you can sleep well at night after washing up."
Speaking of bathing, the two brothers felt itchy. Mingyuan urged, "Dad, let's wash quickly and make room for mom and them later."
Wang Zhenhe was not happy to play with his son. Zhang Lan came to take her eldest daughter out to wander. Wang Qian put the things prepared by her mother into the space and brought chopsticks by the way, so she rushed to the agreed place.
When she arrived, Mr. Zuo had already waited there. "Grandpa Zuo, you've been waiting for a long time. Eat it while it's hot."
Wang Qian handed over the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. Zuo Zhanshan smelled the smell of the food before he ate it. "It smells so good, Qianqian, thank you."
The old man didn't have time to say anything. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly took a bite into his mouth. While eating, he praised, "It's so delicious, girl, you ** are really good at cooking."
In fact, Wang Qian knew that everything she ate was delicious when she was hungry. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang also think that the beggar's rice was the most delicious in the world at that time?
Looking at Master Zuo's eating appearance, you can guess how much they have been thanked during this period. "Grandpa Zuo, eat slowly."
Zuo Zhanshan didn't forget to nod, but the movement of his hand did not slow down. I haven't seen Mr. Zuo eating delicious stewed fish with tofu for a long time, which made me feel cool.
Wang Qian accompanied her obediently and stopped talking. She was afraid that she would choke the old man again.
"Ah, it's comfortable. My stomach is finally full." Today is the old man's first full meal. He also had that meal tonight. In addition, Wang Qian sent it to him, which made him feel that it was really good to live.
"Dad, thank you. Grandpa really doesn't know what to say." Zuo Zhanshan, who has been fighting all his life, is now moved by a child's meal. For nothing else, it's the heart of the child's family. The old man knows more or less about the situation of each family. If he can bring him such a meal to a person who met by chance, Zuo Zhanshan feels that it is worth it even In order to know such a kind and simple family.
"Grandpa, there are still rice grains at the corners of your mouth. Don't let people see them. I'll go back first. I'll send them to you when I'll make delicious food later."
"The girl walks carefully. Grandpa watches you go." The old man saw her gradually go away before turning back.
A group of brothers and sisters in the room are chatting about nothing.
"Lao Zuo, why have you been wandering for so long? Isn't it secretly going to meet your lover?" A buddy was joking with him.
Zuo Zhanshan didn't think so and said, "Even if someone like me likes me, no one dares to follow where we stay. Alas, write to my eldest son, and I don't know what's going on with him."
Everyone knows the situation of Zuo Zhanshan. The eldest son's family was taken to the south, the second son's family was taken to the northwest, and the youngest son actually went to the northeast. The good family was torn apart. "Lao Zuo, let's look forward and show your energy to beat the little devils in those years, I forgot that there is a little grandson and an old woman waiting for you to go back.
A room of people were having fun in pain, and the rest of the world was full of nonsense. Only Lao Zuo was lying under the oil lamp to write his family letter.
After a few days, Zhang Lan took her daughter back to her mother's house for two days, and collected a lot of eggs and pickled duck eggs and goose eggs.
The two of them also rushed a lot of things at the seaside.
The two of them left for home this time. When they arrived at the station near their mother's house, Zhang Lan took her daughter and got on the bus to the city. This time, she planned to go with her child to see the old lady by the way. She was always worried that she didn't see it with her own eyes.
When the mother and daughter arrived in the city, they first went to the district people near Zuohe's house to sell things. Wang Qianduo didn't take them. The mother and daughter squatted on the aisle with a basket. The old lady who had bought things from her before recognized her at a glance. "Little girl, what good things Come on, let grandma have a look.
The old lady was also happy to see the things in the mother's basket. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. This is missing. This little girl is really timely rain.
"Dad, grandma will go home and take the basket and call my neighbor by the way."
Zhang Lan didn't expect her daughter to be so popular here. "Tianqian, do you all know them?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Mom, the old lady once came to buy it when I was selling things. It's not considered to know each other."
I didn't expect that the old lady followed a large group of old people as soon as she came back. Zhang Lan was a little dumbfounded. Everyone came over and didn't say anything. They asked the price to buy things directly and left. Before they were ranked, they whispered, "Do you still have the girl?"
Wang Qian nodded, "Wait a minute, my mother and I will pick it up nearby and come back right away."
Take the two of them to the place where they carry people behind them, directly take out the things in the space, and then sell them later. Some people use grain tickets to support them without cash. Anyway, that thing is almost the same as money.
When the crowd dispersed, Wang Qian took Zhang Lan to the vicinity of Shan Shuzhen's house to sell it.
Shan Shuzhen, who came home from work to cook, had a lot of smiles on her face when she saw the mother and daughter. "Cianqian, do you have any eggs this time? Everyone here is ready to buy yours."
"Aunt Shan, I brought not only eggs today, but also pickled duck eggs and goose eggs. This is my mother. We came here together."
Shan Shuzhen took a look at Zhang Lan. Um, it's not bad. Although she doesn't dress well, her eyes are very clear. It's definitely good to be a mother who can raise such a child.
"Comrade, your child is well educated. I envy you for raising such a good child."
Zhang Lan said with some embarrassment, "No, we have nothing we can do at home. Let the child come out to make some money. Qianqian often mentions you when she goes back. I have to thank you for taking care of my daughter."
Shan Shuzhen smiled and said, "Big sister, your child is so cute. Everyone in our area likes her. Besides, Qianqian's coming here has saved us a lot of trouble. Not to mention anything else, I have saved a lot of tickets and supplies.
Shan Shuzhen is telling the truth. Now it is forbidden to trade. Now they are shouting that the grass of socialism will not leave the seedlings of capitalism, so Wang Qian's behavior can only be done secretly.
"Jianqian, you two wait here for a while. I'll inform the neighbors to come when I get back." Shan Shuzhen hurried home. She walked home.
"Qianqian, you will give the snails and sea melon seeds we drove to your aunt alone later. We gave it to her. They have helped you so much, so you have to thank them."
Wang Qian listened to Zhang Lan's instructions and smiled sweetly, "Mom, I've already prepared one for her. Do you think your daughter is the kind of person who doesn't care?"
Zhang Lan smiled and touched the child's head. "Yes, this time I saw it. Our Qianqian is quite popular here. This time, my mother is relieved."
