Chapter 5 Continue to cheat
I don’t know why busy days always go by faster than bad days.
National Day happened to be on Saturday, and with one day off, Zhao Xiaoyue had three days to go to her grandma's house.
To be honest, except for the old lady, everything else in my grandma's house is top-notch, super good ones at that.
The old man passed away early, and the old lady raised three children. Except for Li Guilan, who did not grow up crooked, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were so crooked that it was impossible to look at them straight, not to mention their wives and children!
The old lady had moved out a long time ago and lived alone, collecting waste for a living. When Li Guilan wanted to take her home, the two sons of the Li family started to argue that Li Guilan wanted them to bear the crime of not supporting their mother.
The daughter and the adoptive mother, unless they have no children, the villagers can drown them with a spit. Besides, the two brothers are still receiving the old lady's pension, how can they allow Li Guilan to take the old lady away!
So Zhao Guozhong and Li Guilan would visit the old lady from time to time and buy whatever she needed.
Zhao Guozhong worked at a fertilizer factory and had asked for leave the night before.
I bought noodles and a bucket of oil early in the morning, guessing that the old lady should have finished eating the noodles I bought last time.
It was already noon when the family of three took the bus to Jiaozigou Village.
When Zhao Xiaoyue's family of three got out of the car, they saw her grandmother carrying a cardboard box and walking towards the small house where she lived.
"Grandma, Grandma," the little girl with short legs shouted and walked to the old lady in three or two steps. She wanted to take the cardboard box and carry it herself, but the box was taller than her and she couldn't lift it.
Zhao Guozhong smiled and took it, "Mom, let me do it."
The old lady took one look and handed it to Zhao Guozhong, "Okay."
Turning around, he pulled Zhao Xiaoyue and said, "Little Sun has grown taller. I heard that he has started school. You must study hard."
As he spoke, he searched in his coat pocket, found fifty cents and stuffed it into Zhao Xiaoyue's pocket. He also pouted at Zhao Guozhong and his wife who were walking in front of him, winked and said, "Here, grandma gave it to you, don't let your mother see it, ah!"
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with tears. The old lady was a very kind person and soft-hearted, but she had a sharp tongue and loved to offend people.
In her previous life, the orphanage went bankrupt and no one adopted her. When the old lady in her sixties was eager to adopt Zhao Xiaoyue, she was locked at home by her two aunts and cried until her eyes went blind!
It was not until she accidentally passed by a comic convention and heard the villagers talking about it that she learned that the old lady had died in the first year of her wandering.
He died in this small, dilapidated house. I heard that no human voice had been heard for several days. When my aunt opened the lock, she saw the house was crawling with maggots and flies.
When she became really powerful, her aunt's child came to her for help because he had committed a crime, and only then did she know that the old lady had starved to death!
She didn't know how she spent those days, she only knew that the matter was handled by the comic convention.
The incident involving my aunt's eldest son was very serious, and it implicated the families of my eldest and second uncles. He might have become a wanderer, so she didn't pay attention to it.
The comic convention even made fun of her, saying that she was really cold and indifferent!
Yes, she is cold and indifferent!
Zhao Xiaoyue pulled the old lady's wrinkled hand and stuffed the money back into her pocket, saying, "Grandma, please don't give me money. How about we go find Aunt Zhan and Aunt Wang Qiu after dinner? My mom will definitely not let me go out alone!"
The old lady glared, "She dares. Fine, let's go play after dinner. I just happen to have something to do with Zhan Dasha's wife."
The corners of Zhao Xiaoyue's mouth twitched. His name was obviously Zhan Tiankui, but just because he looked a little honest, her grandma insisted on calling him Dasha.
"Grandma, why do I remember that uncle's name is Tian Kui?"
Alas, Zhao Xiaoyue just insisted on arguing. After she finished speaking, she scratched her head, expressing her confusion as a child!
Old lady, "Don't argue, you fool!"
Zhao Xiaoyue, "Oh, I see, hehe!"
Li Guilan shouted from the front, "Mom, hurry up, we don't have the key to get in."
"I know," he said, not forgetting to lower his head and complain to Zhao Xiaoyue, "Look, your mother is like Cui Gui!"
The grandparents and grandchildren laughed!
After lunch, Li Guilan was still washing the pot when the grandparents and grandchildren were about to go out.
Li Guilan asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the day?"
The old lady glared, "Wash your pot!"
Tsk, grandma is still the best.
The sun in October is still scorching.
People who had just finished planting winter wheat were heading home, leading their oxen and carrying their plows.
From the perspective of its terrain, Jiaozigou looks like a dumpling. At the intersection of the "dumpling skins", there is a big banyan tree, the kind that requires ten people to hug together. That is where the "intelligence chiefs" gather!
The old lady pulled Zhao Xiaoyue, and Zhao Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, "Grandma, why don't you ask me why I'm looking for Aunt Zhan and the others?"
The old lady said calmly, "Since you learned to run, which old man or old woman in the village don't you know? Don't you listen to their stories?"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Hehe, grandma, you are so smart. Actually, I want to ask Aunt Zhan, Aunt Wang Qiu, and Sister Tian Xiuzhen to cook."
The old lady suddenly stopped where she was and asked in confusion, "Cook? What kind of dishes? Who wants them to cook?"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Uh..."
"My grandma and dad wanted to open a restaurant, but they didn't have a chef, so I thought of finding a few people who were good at cooking. I've eaten the meals of those aunties and they were very good."
The old lady smiled and said, "Xue Dachun, oh, Aunt Zhan is from the north, so I know she's good at northern dishes, but I've never heard of what a lonely old lady like Wang Qiu can do."
Look, an old lady who worries about her life!
Zhao Xiaoyue looked up and said, "Grandma, she is from Shu, and her ancestors were palace chefs. She even showed me her family's recipes!"
Seeing that the old lady was listening, she continued, "Didn't Sister Tian Xiuzhen come here to escape the disaster a few years ago? But she can actually cook a lot of pasta!"
The old lady asked curiously, "When did her family become so wealthy?"
"I heard it from her." Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes sparkled!
Seeing the old lady thinking, he added: "But now there is a fatal weakness."
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at the old lady and stopped talking!
The old lady was unhappy. "Tsk, tell me why you are silent? What's your weakness? Your father has no money? It's okay. I saved some money."
"It's not about the money, grandma. My dad has gathered the money. I'm just afraid I can't afford to hire them, haha."
After all, it's hard to say for a six-year-old girl, and Guan Jian's credibility is not high. Although her parents are adults, they are definitely not as reliable as her grandmother in handling such matters.
The old lady finally realized what was going on. This is what was going on.
The little girl is so cunning!
The old lady looked at Zhao Xiaoyue and asked, "Is your father really planning to open a restaurant?"
Zhao Xiaoyue affirmed: "Really, so grandma~~"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you. Those women can go and have fun. They can earn money by cooking, haha."
Zhao Xiaoyue hugged the old lady's arm and said, "Thank you, grandma. You are really a rare good grandma in the world! You can move in and live with us, in Lufeng Town. You can live in the store and be the general manager. You have great prestige and they will definitely listen to you."
The old lady smiled and said, "Our little sun has grown up and knows how to care for others. But I can't leave my doghouse!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked forward!
