Dai Zhenhong really didn't pay much attention to these things about himself. Because in his previous life, eating basically meant socializing!
Either socializing with some customers, socializing with some local officials, or socializing with some boss friends in the business field.
Of course, there are also times when you have dinner with your department leaders or employees on a certain project, but that is not considered a serious meal. Who would talk nonsense first while eating?
So for these meals, Dai Zhenhong basically took a few bites and put them on the table. Dai Zhenhong didn't seem to pay attention to what kind of dishes he ate, and he couldn't tell what they tasted like.
Occasionally, he can have a meal with his daughter at home. Dai Zhenhong has to take into account her daughter's mood and ask questions to understand her study life. But even so, eating with his daughter is already the most interesting part of life.
Dinner!
However, after being injured and staying at his daughter and son-in-law's house, Dai Zhenhong ate happily every day!
I was very happy to eat, not to mention how delicious the food cooked by Hong Xiaoxia or Yang Qian was. Dai Zhenhong and his daughter Dai Yuni were still different. He didn't care about food and appetite so much. And he was injured and had such a serious fracture that Dai Zhenhong couldn't
He eats and drinks arbitrarily and is taboo on many things.
It has nothing to do with Dai Yuni. Dai Zhenhong just sat with his granddaughter Yang Xiaozhao, and he felt inexplicably happy and had a great appetite!
No, today at noon, Yang Huaping came and they had dinner together. Dai Zhenhong drove the wheelchair and still sat next to Yang Xiaozhao.
"Can't eat seafood? Then try our Hecheng sweet potatoes!"
Yang Huaping sat on the other side of him and served his in-laws enthusiastically.
"Okay, okay, thank you! Your sweet potatoes are not big..."
Dai Zhenhong took it with a smile, put it in the bone dish in front of him for the time being, and chatted with Yang Huaping.
"Yes, it is not a very big variety, nor is it very sweet, but it has a good taste and is relatively pink and waxy."
Yang Huaping said positively.
Compared with the small green mandarin oranges brought by his friends, this sweet potato is more like a specialty of Hecheng in Yang Huaping's mind!
Although sweet potatoes are also produced in other places, and there is nothing special about the sweet potatoes in Hecheng, sweet potatoes are of great significance to Yang Huaping!
"When I was young, didn't I have to go to school? At that time, going to school was not as comfortable as it is now. I had to get up very early every morning and walk more than ten kilometers to school. Then my family was also poor and couldn't afford to eat. If I didn't eat, I would have to go to school.
I'm hungry and can't walk that far. So what should I do? Just use this sweet potato, grate it into thin strips, and dry it in the sun. Then make porridge. We have sweet potato porridge now, has Lao Dai eaten it?"
Yang Huaping stood there, dancing and talking.
"I've eaten it, I've eaten it, it's pretty good. The sweet potato porridge is light."
Dai Zhenhong nodded.
"Yes, but the sweet potato porridge we had at that time was not so delicious, because now the sweet potato porridge has more rice, more water and less sweet potatoes, and it tastes very sweet. But at that time, the sweet potato porridge was basically filled with sweet potatoes and not much rice.
There is no rice soup, because you will not be hungry if you eat it too thinly! So eating a bowl of sweet potato porridge is equivalent to eating a bowl of dried sweet potatoes, and the dried sweet potatoes have worms in them. If you don’t want to throw them away, you have to eat them even if there are worms.
.As a result, it tasted bitter and smelly. I still remember that feeling."
Yang Huaping simply recalled his past with Dai Zhenhong.
After finishing it, I realized that something seemed wrong. Wasn't it expressing my special feelings for sweet potatoes? Why did it suddenly turn into a feeling of belittling the sweet potatoes in my hometown?
"Bitter, smelly and full of worms", who would dare to eat the sweet potatoes you brought from Hecheng?
"However, the sweet potatoes are now good. They don't have worms, and the ones that do have worms have been picked out. Moreover, the variety and taste are better, and they are all more delicious than before."
Yang Huaping quickly added a few words.
"Life was really hard in the past. I remember my dad also told me that very early on there was really no food to eat. And even if your family had some rice, everyone would be hungry. As soon as I found out that you
If the family has rice, all kinds of connections come here to help them, hoping to provide some for their children.
At that time, I relied on the bag of rice that my mother's former teacher secretly gave me. My mother didn't dare to cook it openly. When cooking, the lights were turned off and the doors and windows were closed tightly, just like no one was at home. Then
She was still reluctant to eat it. I finished it in three bites and asked my mother if there was any more. She said there was none."
Dai Zhenhong didn't think Yang Huaping was exaggerating, and he even shared his story with Yang Huaping.
Runyuan Real Estate did not exist when Dai Zhenhong was born. In that era when people all over the country were in difficulty, Dai Zhenhong's family background was not good. He grew up in hardship, and then worked hard with his father to turn Runyuan Real Estate into a slow-moving country.
Build slowly from scratch.
"Otherwise, these children are living too happily now. The last time I went back to Hecheng, they threw away every meal. They didn't cherish the food at all. They didn't know what suffering was! The food in the past,
Not to mention every once in a while, even if it falls on the ground, you still have to pick it up and eat it."
Yang Huaping sighed after hearing what Dai Zhenhong said.
"There is no need to force young people to have the same sentiments as us. They have their own background and living habits. And it is really not good to eat every other meal. In the past, we had no choice but to eat, but now they don't allow it.
When we eat, it’s for the sake of our health, right? Lao Yang.”
Dai Zhenhong smiled and consoled him. He is not as stubborn as Yang Huaping. In terms of the quality of life, he is used to such "waste".
"Grandpa, sit down and eat. Look, Xiao Zhaozhao is always looking at you!"
Dai Yuni was smart enough not to get involved in the elders' discussion. She only reminded her father-in-law with a smile when they were almost done talking.
This is indeed the case. Yang Xiaozhao opened his big eyes and stared at his grandfather who was standing and talking.
The little guy must not understand what the adults are saying.
But that doesn’t stop her from joining in the fun!
Mother used a spoon to bring her porridge to her mouth. Yang Xiaozhao's little mouth didn't move for a long time, as if he was lost in thought.
"Yes, eat, eat."
Yang Huaping looked at his little granddaughter, and immediately recovered from the memories and emotions, he pulled out the chair and sat down with a smile.
Dai Zhenhong originally didn't want to eat sweet potatoes so early, but after listening to him telling so many stories about sweet potatoes, he suddenly became interested in the sweet potatoes in the bone plate in front of him.
Remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness!
Although this sweet potato should be considered sweet, it is still a little interesting in form.
Dai Zhenhong picked up the sweet potato, felt that the temperature of its skin had dropped a lot, and then began to peel it.
Hey, what is this?
Yang Xiaozhao, who was looking at his grandfather's children's shoes just now, was immediately attracted by the sweet potato in his grandfather's hand.
The little girl was sitting in the baby high chair, and her mother obediently tied a big bib around her neck. However, she was not restrained by the seat belt, and her hands, feet, and body were free to move.
"Well!"
I saw Yang Xiaozhao turning her little head to look at her mother, but her little hand stretched out to point at her grandfather.
Mom, did you see that? Grandpa is holding that thing!
"Yep."
Dai Yuni understood what her daughter meant and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Xiaozhao likes to eat sweet potatoes, and he likes to eat them so much that he can't move away when he sees them! This preference has long been discovered by his mother and grandma!
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Huaping brought sweet potatoes from his hometown - of course he did not bring sweet potatoes to Dai Zhenhong specifically.
However, Dai Yuni didn't want to feed Yang Xiaozhao sweet potatoes so soon, so she took advantage of her daughter's daze to touch Yang Xiaozhao's mouth with a small spoon.
Is it a sweet potato?
Yang Xiaozhao was probably thinking about the sweet potatoes and thought he was eating sweet potatoes. He opened his mouth subconsciously and ate a spoonful of porridge obediently.
"Come again."
Dai Yuni struck while the iron was hot and poured another spoonful into it.
However, at this moment, she couldn't deceive Yang Xiaozhao who had the taste in his mouth!
"Well!"
The little girl pursed her thin lips tightly as if closing two doors and refused to let go, but she still stretched out her hand, continued to point at her grandfather, and hummed twice with her nose.
wrong!
Mom, that's what I want!
Yang Xiaozhao said that he still knows the difference clearly and is not that easy to fool!
"That's my grandpa eating sweet potatoes. Why are you making fun of him?"
Dai Yuni smiled.
Dai Zhenhong actually didn't know what his little granddaughter was humming at first, and the sweet potato was still a little hot when peeled. He was careful and didn't bother to turn his head to look.
But when his daughter said this, Dai Zhenhong immediately reacted. He turned around and saw the little guy looking at the sweet potatoes in his hand in eager anticipation.
How can I bear this?
Give!
We must share it with our little baby!
"Want to eat sweet potatoes? Grandpa, give them to me, Zhao Zhao! Didn't grandpa give them to you after peeling them?"
Dai Zhenhong didn't bother to peel the sweet potato completely. Since the top half was already peeled, he wanted to hand it over to the little guy.
"Hey, don't worry, it's still a little hot!"
Yang Huaping noticed Dai Zhenhong rubbing his fingers fiercely because they were burned, and when he saw that he was about to feed Yang Xiaozhao, he quickly reminded him.
"Dad, I don't want you to peel it for her. She won't eat after eating the sweet potatoes now! Can you wait until she finishes eating and then give it to her? Hey, you can eat it first!"
Dai Yuni also said to her father angrily.
Originally, they had a good lunch porridge, but as soon as Dai Zhenhong started eating sweet potatoes, he immediately turned his head to avoid the spoon handed by his mother.
Dai Yuni was so angry that her father twisted her nose.
"Okay, Zhaozhao, after you finish your meal, grandpa will peel another sweet potato for you!"
How did Dai Zhenhong know this? When he saw his daughter's resentful look, he smiled and retracted his hand.
Dai Zhenhong felt that it was not a big deal since he explained it to his granddaughter. After taking the sweet potato back, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The sweet potato is not big, just half a bite!
Well, not bad!
It is indeed as Yang Huaping introduced, the taste is relatively pink and waxy, and the sweetness is not bad. It is quite different from the golden and sweet tobacco potatoes in Shandong Province that are very popular online, but it does not affect Dai Zhenhong's appreciation of it.
Young people like to eat roasted sweet potatoes with high sweetness, but for old people like Dai Zhenhong who pay attention to health, this traditional sweet potato would be more suitable!
However, before Dai Zhenhong could finish the sweet potato in his mouth and share his feelings with Yang Huaping, Yang Xiaozhao next to him had already started crying in grievance!
Didn’t you say you want to give it to Xiao Zhaozhao?
Yang Xiaozhao waited eagerly for so long, and even the sweet potatoes peeled by his grandfather were brought to his mouth, but suddenly they flew away...
How can I bear this?
The little girl's expression changes like a drama!
At first, her eyes were full of joy, and her little mouth was open and waiting.
As a result, the sweet potato was just flicked in front of her little mouth and was taken away by her grandpa.
The little girl stared blankly for a while before closing her mouth.
At this moment, everyone still gave grandpa a chance to "make up for his mistakes"!
But Yang Xiaozhao soon saw that his grandfather ate the sweet potato by himself (bitten half of it)!
This time, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
The little girl suddenly felt that the sky had fallen, and her originally amiable grandpa had turned dark!
How can anyone bully people like this?
Yang Xiaozhao, who closed her mouth, gradually came back to her senses. She first looked at her indifferent mother, and then at the sweet potato that had been "eaten" in her grandfather's hand.
My mood goes from expectation to despair in just a few seconds!
Yang Xiaozhao, who was still smiling at first, immediately changed his expression, his face wrinkled, his eyebrows collapsed, and he started to cry.
...
