Chapter 7197 Little Grandpa
The old man muttered, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, put it to his mouth and looked at it again and again.
"Huh? I thought it was stewed chicken. What is this?"
"Eel? It doesn't look like it. It's not that thick. Could it be..."
>"Snake." Yu Xingkui reminded him with a smile.
Old Yangtou suddenly said, "No wonder, this is really a rare thing, I have to eat it! Snake meat is dragon meat. Eating it will prolong your life, and you can wait until my Yun Ya comes back to see me!"
When Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came When I went to deliver snake soup to little old Yangtou's house in the south of the village, he was cooking dinner in the dark kitchen, with black smoke billowing from the chimney.
The main room and several side rooms were so dark that they couldn't even light a soybean oil lamp, let alone a candle.
"Little grandpa is too diligent and thrifty."
Seeing this, Luo Fengtang couldn't help but sigh softly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's not enough if you don't work hard and thriftily. His only grandson has been unlucky in the past two years and has not been able to make enough money. In addition, my grandson's wife has given birth to two more children. The family's expenses are high, so the support for my grandpa will definitely not be as good as before."
"In addition, that ungrateful little beast Yongbai doesn't care about the little grandpa. Many times, the little grandpa still relies on the money my cousin brings from Xiushui Town to buy some wine!"
Speaking of this, just I have to mention Yang Huazhong and the others.
They are the nephews of little old Yangtou, and they also take care of little old Yangtou. Take Yang Huazhong as an example, he will send rice and oil to little old Yangtou almost every quarter.
Sun and Bao Suyun often delivered food to little old Yangtou, or came over to help wash clothes and sew and mend.
"Let's not talk anymore, I'm going to shout."
Yang Ruoqing said, and then called to the kitchen: "Little grandpa."
Then a small voice came from the kitchen. Old Yangtou's response: "Which one is it?"
"Little grandpa, it's me, I'm Qing'er."
"Qing'er?"
Soon, little old Yangtou came out of the kitchen.
Although he is several years younger than Lao Yangtou, little Lao Yangtou looks much older than Lao Yangtou, and his back is even hunched.
"Ah, Qing'er? Tang Yazi? Why did you come here at night?"
Little old Yangtou was very surprised and hurriedly wanted to invite people into the main room.
Yang Ruoqing stopped him and said with a smile: "Little grandpa, stop working so hard. I won't go in and sit down. I'll give you a bowl of snake soup to try."
"Ah? Did you give it to me?"
Little old Yangtou was surprised when he saw the big bowl in Luo Fengtang's hand. He was even more happy and grateful.
Yang Ruoqing gave Luo Fengtang a look, and Luo Fengtang sent the bowl directly into the kitchen.
Yang Ruoqing then said to little old Yangtou: "Little grandpa, go find a clean bowl to put it in. We will take the stolen bowl directly back."
"Hey, okay, okay .”
Little old Yangtou hurried back to the kitchen to find a bowl, and Yang Ruoqing followed him in.
While little old Yang Tou and Luo Fengtang were transferring the snake soup, Yang Ruoqing looked at the kitchen and frowned when she saw the contents in the pot.
"Little grandpa, do you just eat some corn paste and pickled vegetables at night?" Yang Ruoqing pointed to those and asked.
Little old Yang turned around and smiled honestly, "I just like that one." "Little grandpa, if you don't have enough rice, just tell us and we will give it to you." Yang Ruoqing added explain.
Little old Yang rubbed his hands and nodded repeatedly, "I know you are all good and filial children. Your father even sent me rice a while ago. It's because I'm getting old and eat dry food at night, so I can't sleep well. ”
It seems to be Dan Yang Ruoqing didn't believe it, so the little old Yang turned around and said to Luo Fengtang: "It's true. When you reach my age, you will be like this, no younger than you!"
Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded gently. , said nothing. But he looked over the head of little old Yangtou and towards Yang Ruoqing who was standing over the pot table.
Yang Ruoqing shrugged at him and smiled helplessly.
The little grandpa’s words are almost as good as those used to deceive a three-year-old child.
What does this lie look like? It’s just like the trick that poor families use to trick their children, saying that children can’t eat the night meal, and wrinkles will appear on their faces after eating the night meal...
Facts have proved that children are at the critical stage of physical growth and development. During this period, absolute nutrition must be ensured.
In modern times, children have to drink a glass of milk before going to bed to help them sleep.
As for the elderly, at this age, they have osteoporosis and other old diseases and injuries, so nutrition cannot be left out.
To put it bluntly, life is tight for little grandpa.
The two of them didn't stay at Grandpa's house for long. Before leaving, Yang Ruoqing specifically told him: "Grandpa, this snake soup is fresh produce. The weather is getting hotter now. You don't have a well in your house and can't store the fresh produce. You'd better stay tonight." Just eat it, otherwise it will go rancid. It would be a pity if it goes rancid."
Little old Yangtou nodded repeatedly.
"Is your father there?" he asked again.
"Don't worry, little grandpa, he has it. He should be eating it right now, so you should eat it while it's hot."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it later, you guys are interested. Yes, you gave it to me to try..."
Under the kind words and watching of the young grandfather, the young couple walked towards home.
On the way, Luo Fengtang said to Yang Ruoqing: "I feel a little uncomfortable when I see the life your little grandfather lived."
Yang Ruoqing also felt the same way.
"My little grandpa could have had a less hard life. He secretly took and sold some of the grain my father and others gave him." She said softly.
"Is there such a thing?" Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows, a trace of astonishment flashing across his deep and dark eyes.
"Why did your little grandpa do that?" he asked again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Exchange it into money to support his grandson. He can't bear to support five or six people by himself."
Luo Fengtang thought for a moment, "But this will be very important to his grandson For him, it’s just a drop in the bucket, but it’s actually hurting himself.”
Yang Ruoqing shrugged, “No matter how much the supplement can be, at least he feels at ease. Well, this is the difference between people. Look at the man in my family who serves delicious food and drinks. He only cares about his own happiness and doesn't think about his children and grandchildren at all. As for his great-grandchildren, I guess he can bear them. He may not recognize her in front of her."
Both of them were silent. After a while, Luo Fengtang asked her again: "Do we need to do something for the little grandpa?"
Yang Ruoqing stopped and looked into the distance. At this time, the moon was already hanging on the treetops. At night in the countryside, the smell of ripe wheat ears was floating in the air. The fishy smell of earth mixed with the fresh breath of vegetation lingered in her nose.
“There is a saying that the emperor also has two poor relatives. People are different from each other, so even if they are taken care of occasionally, they still cannot be rich at the same time.”
“Just take our elders. As far as the Yang family is concerned, the three-bedroom family has the best life, followed by the fifth-bedroom family. The worst life is for cousin Yongqing. This is mainly because Because of his personal reasons,"
"Other families also rely on their own hands, hard work, and mutual support to live a good life. No happiness is easy to come by, so no one can. I would be so kind as to raise cousin Yongqing in vain.”
