In front of him was a woman who was about seventy years old. She was thin and her neck was extremely long.
Because he is old and thin, he can't really see his appearance when he was young, but his narrowed eyes are particularly noticeable.
Isn’t this blind mother-in-law completely blind?
The blind mother-in-law’s surname is Wan, and her name is Wan Xiuyun.
She married into the Qin family, which is a rare surname in Hongqi Village. So Su Xue called her Granny Qin, calling her after her husband's family name. This is a kind of respect for people.
So from now on, let’s call Grandma Qin as Grandma Qin!
Grandma Qin lives alone all year round and has a somewhat withdrawn personality. When she hears strange voices, she doesn't take them too seriously.
"Want to borrow a sewing machine? No."
Grandma Qin's tone of voice was not good. Not only was she unfriendly, she was even a little aggressive.
It's no wonder, after all, she doesn't have many strangers here all year round, and the only ones who come are those who want to borrow her sewing machine.
That was her dowry when she got married, and she definitely wouldn't borrow it.
Grandma Qin had made her attitude clear before, so she felt that if someone like Su Xue came together out of ignorance, she was just here to scold him.
Su Xue knew that grandma had misunderstood.
"Grandma, you misunderstood. I'm not here to borrow a sewing machine. I'm Su Xue from the small team. Our new house had its beams put up yesterday. I made some glutinous rice cakes at home and I'll send you some."
Grandma Qin was stunned. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this. But she quickly reacted and spoke in a cold tone.
"No need, take it away."
After saying that, he held the crutch in his hand and walked towards the big banyan tree.
Although her back was stooped, she did not fall down, and she did not even use crutches on the flat road.
This further confirms Su Xue's point of view.
Grandma Qin should still be able to see a little bit.
Of course, this is nothing. Su Xue even hopes that the elderly can all see better, so that living alone will not be so inconvenient.
"elder sister……"
Su Baoer took Su Xue's hand and shook it, with a little worry on her face.
Su Xue showed a smile: "It's okay, maybe grandma doesn't like eating glutinous rice cake, but my sister didn't think carefully."
She thought about bringing something to take care of Grandma Qin, but she didn't expect that Grandma Qin wouldn't want it, so Su Xue definitely couldn't force it on her.
And when she thought about it carefully, she felt that her behavior was indeed a bit abrupt, and it should be her problem.
"Is there anyone who doesn't like eating glutinous rice cakes? Rice cakes are so delicious. They taste delicious when roasted on the fire or fried in a pot. Bao'er likes to eat them the most."
"Well, everyone's hobbies are different! But Bao'er, although glutinous rice cakes are delicious, children should remember to eat less of those made from glutinous rice!"
"Why?"
"Because glutinous food is more difficult to digest than ordinary food. Children's intestines and stomachs have not yet fully grown, so it will be more difficult to digest a large amount of glutinous rice food, which will cause physical discomfort."
Su Xue told Su Baoer what she knew, and Su Baoer nodded, indicating that she understood.
The two sisters followed Granny Qin to the foot of the big banyan tree. There was a branch road leading to Team 2. Before leaving, Su Xue called Granny Qin again.
Grandma Qin walked away without stopping or responding, holding on to her crutches.
Su Xue stood there for a while and watched Grandma Qin's back, watching her turn the corner and disappear from her sight, then she turned around and headed towards the second team with Su Baoer.
They were actually at the intersection of Team 2 now. After turning around and walking a short distance, they arrived at Zhao Dazhu's house.
Zhao Dazhu was still doing carpentry at home. When he saw Su Xue and Su Baoer, he smiled and said hello, then turned around to pour them sugar water.
"Don't bother Grandpa Zhao." Su Xue quickly stopped the enthusiastic Zhao Dazhu: "I came here to tell you that I want to order some more furniture."
She explained her purpose of coming, and Zhao Dazhu nodded to show that he had taken it to heart.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it for you when I finish the work in hand."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Su Xue thanked her sweetly, and Su Baoer beside her also thanked her sweetly. Zhao Dazhu looked at these two lovely girls, one older and one younger, and felt that his heart was about to be softened by them.
I don’t know what Su Changsheng thinks. He has such a wonderful granddaughter and grandson, but he doesn’t get close to them. Is he afraid that he won’t support these grandsons when they grow up?
Zhao Dazhu sighed inwardly. Su Xue took out the glutinous rice cake from the basket and handed it to Zhao Dazhu. Zhao Dazhu was a little flattered. When he realized it, he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, how can you give this to me?"
"Su Yatou is obedient and takes it home to eat by yourself. There are many younger brothers and sisters at home, so take it back and give it to your younger brothers and sisters."
"Grandpa Zhao, don't you like eating glutinous rice cakes like the blind grandma?" Before Su Xue could say anything, Su Baoer on the side asked Zhao Dazhu curiously. Her eyes were round and bright like black grapes, so focused.
When looking at others, people feel inexplicably reluctant to tell lies.
"We just went to see the blind mother-in-law, and she doesn't want our things!"
Zhao Dazhu was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing.
"No, why wouldn't Grandpa Zhao like eating such a good glutinous rice cake?" He said, taking the glutinous rice cake from Su Xue's hand and placing it on the clean wood.
"You just went to see Granny Qin?"
Grandpa Zhao asked.
Su Xue nodded, with a look of shame on her face: "I didn't think carefully."
"Well, your Granny Qin was also frightened by some people in the village, so her temper became like that. She actually didn't mean any harm."
"Are Grandpa Zhao familiar with Grandma Qin?" Su Xue asked.
Zhao Dazhu nodded. The front and back of this house must be familiar. When Granny Qin was young, the family had not experienced great changes, and the relationship between their two families was still very close.
Later, the Qin family encountered great changes, and Zhao Dazhu was busy trying his best to help. Because Grandma Qin was the only one left, Zhao Dazhu paid more attention to the Qin family than before.
It's just that Grandma Qin didn't want Zhao Dazhu to help anymore. Over time, Zhao Dazhu could only secretly deliver some firewood to the door of Grandma Qin's house so that she didn't have to go up the mountain to collect firewood in the dark. This was also a tribute to the deceased eldest brother Qin.
One of them confessed.
After Su Xue listened to Zhao Dazhu's words, she took out the remaining bag of glutinous rice cakes in the basket, and then handed the basket to Zhao Dazhu.
"Grandpa Zhao, here are the things I packed for Grandma Qin. I had no other intention. I just made too many glutinous rice cakes when we were building the house, so I asked her to help eat some."
Before meeting Granny Qin, Su Xue didn't think much about it. After meeting her, Su Xue realized that her behavior might seem to some thoughtful or sensitive people like she was giving alms.
Same.
She was determined that this was not what she meant, so when entrusting Zhao Dazhu with the task, she said that the family had too much food to eat and asked Grandma Qin for help.
In fact, there are families in the village who are worse off than Aunt Qin. If Su Xue really wants to ask for help, they will definitely be happy to go to them. But she did not choose anyone else but Aunt Qin. It seems that she wants to take care of the orphans and widows.
It's not easy for the elderly.
Zhao Dazhu understood Su Xue's thoughts. Looking at Su Xue's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but nodded. Not to mention whether the other people's purpose of approaching Granny Qin was simple, but the Su Xue in front of him really didn't have any bad intentions.
.
"Girl Su is interested. You put the things here and I will deliver them to her later."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao."
Su Xue took Su Bao'er to thank Zhao Dazhu, and then left their home to go to Team 3's He family.
