"He is..." Grandpa didn't dare to recognize people at all, it would be bad if he admits his mistake.
Mu Shaoling walked in in a straight suit, reached out and hugged Ruan Bai's waist politely and intimately. This action made grandpa understand the relationship between the two.
"You are the Li Zong my son mentioned?" Grandpa smiled and stood in front of the stove pit and said, "Grandpa has remembered your name for a long time. Xiaobai's father told me that you have been together for more than five years and are about to get married now."
Ruan Bai was very worried that Mu Shaoling would retort, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Grandpa, look at you being thin, are you not used to staying in Japan?"
"It's old, the old man is like this." Grandpa hunched his waist and went to another dilapidated room with a fire stick.
After searching for a long time, the old man found two small stools, took them out and put them on the kitchen floor, and greeted his grandson-in-law: "Come on, kid, sit here, there is no good furniture at home."
Looking down at the two worn wooden stools on the ground, Ruan Bai looked at Mu Shaoling nervously, worried that he would dislike him and not sit down.
But Mu Shaoling took into account her grandfather's feelings considerately, put down the boss's airs she had in the past, sat on the stool without any disgust, and grabbed her hand and said, "Sit down, let's chat with my grandfather for a few words."
Grandpa sat on the small stool that was originally found in the kitchen.
"You talk to grandpa, I'll go out to buy some vegetables." Ruan Bai pushed the suitcase aside, then took the money from his bag, and looked at Mu Shaoling with confidence.
Mu Shaoling understood what she was worried about and nodded to reassure her.
"Then I'll go first." Ruan Bai glanced at his grandfather before leaving.
Walking through the red brick yard and leaving the gate, Ruan Bai looked up and saw many people standing a few meters away outside the door.
Some neighbors can still remember their names vaguely.
In the mouths of these neighbors, she was the daughter of a "bitter", so she must be a "bitter" when she grew up. She heard those gossips after dinner as a person involved when she was a child.
Ruan Bai walked towards a small store selling vegetables.
The discussion behind me was much smaller than before, but the content was richer.
It seemed as if the arrival of her and Mu Shaoling had awakened the old gossip that these people had long forgotten.
"Is this the little white guy from the old Ruan family?" An old lady pointed at her behind her and asked others in a low voice.
Someone immediately responded, "It must be that although he has changed a lot, his appearance is still there. I recognized her as Xiaobai's child at first sight."
"Tsk, today is different from the past. Hedong and thirty years, Hexi, look at the future of this girl, and look at our girl, we can only marry a small policeman in the county."
"Aunt Wang, don't say that. Your girl is the best one among all the girls in our town."
"It's not great. Her father and I agreed to marry her daughter. We just liked the son-in-law giving us a bride of 200,000 yuan, and bought a car worth more than 100,000 yuan for her father. My son-in-law has no advantages, but he is rich! I dislike it!"
Someone came forward to praise Aunt Wang: "Your daughter has really married into a good family. I think this little girl is probably the mistress for her. Look at this man's car, it's worth millions? Maybe it's the man who Xiaobai just hooked up with outside, so I'm rushing back to show off to our fellow villagers in the town."
"Then this little white is so vain, she is a shameless virtue with her mother who was kidnapped by a rich man..."
...
Ruan Bai bought vegetables, meat for cooking, pork ribs and seasonings in the store.
When we returned, the gossiping aunties were still there.
When she passed by the yard, she saw Mu Shaoling holding a bowl in his hand, with leftovers in the bowl. He was about to pour it out, but his grandfather stared at the bowl of leftovers reluctantly. He obviously wanted to stop him, but he was not able to speak.
"Grandpa, this bowl of vegetables will not be of any benefit to your health, but it will be harmful to you after eating them." After Mu Shaoling said that, he decisively dispose of the bowl of leftover vegetables.
Grandpa sat down silently and said nothing.
Ruan Bai stood at the door with something in his arms, unable to say what he felt in his heart, and an indescribable sense of security poured into her heart.
The man was neatly dressed in the kitchen, holding the broken bowl with his fair and slender fingers, and the diamonds inlaid on his precious watch on his wrist were shining in the dark and old house, and everything was out of place.
Seeing that she was standing at the door and carrying the food in a daze, Mu Shaoling put down the worn-out bowl and even broke the edge of the bowl, looked up and asked, "Are you back? What have you bought?"
Ruan Bai moved his cooperation and did not dislike him.
Other families in the town used natural gas, and even the least amounted to gas tanks. Only the old man was still using stoves and fire pits to burn the branches picked up in the forest.
Mu Shaoling spent a whole year in the town and learned about the folk customs in the town.
The conditions in Luojia Town are so limited, all because the previous leader is inaction.
Now that the leaders have changed, the economy here will develop rapidly. This time, the government and developers work together to jointly develop the town, which also shows the future value of Luojia Town.
Mu Shaoling bought a gas tank and the delivery worker installed it. It only took twenty minutes.
"You go and accompany grandpa, I'll do it." Mu Shaoling walked to the cutting board, worried that she would not use a gas tank or that the old kitchen knife was too dull, and accidentally hurt her hand.
"I'm fine, you go and sit, otherwise I'll be sorry."
Ruan Bai was particularly grateful to him and felt guilty, so he dared to use him to make dinner.
Moreover, what happened to Ruan Bai was that he could cook?
Mu Shaoling looked at what she cut, and then the old man called him over to speak.
Whether it was a few years in the UK or when she was in a teenage town, Ruan Bai had cooked. When her grandfather was working in the fields when she was a child, she would go to help pick beans on Saturdays and Sundays. The sun was about to set, and she ran home to prepare dinner for her grandfather and herself in advance, and the firewood was burned.
Although I didn’t eat well in those years, I could always fill my stomach.
During the years she was studying, she had the money given by her father and the money she earned from working part-time. At that time, she felt satisfied that she had lived in heaven and her cooking skills had become better.
After making sweet and sour pork ribs, Ruan Bai brought them to the table and took a look at her grandfather inadvertently. She saw that her grandfather had only a slit left in her eyes.
Mu Shaoling gestured gracefully, as always, still as big boss, but his grandfather was focused, and he not only admired his grandson-in-law and was also grateful to God for being eyed, so that his granddaughter could find such an outstanding man.
"Stop talking about grandpa, come here to have a meal." Ruan Bai put the food on the table and shouted.
The store brought three high plastic stools, and the old tables that could be built up in the warehouse were also supported. Grandpa was also embarrassed now, worried that his grandson-in-law would dislike him.
