"Hey!" Han Xiaotao finally reacted and caught up, walking side by side with Cui Minhao, "Minhao, do you have a good relationship with grandma?"
"Ah?" Cui Minhao didn't know whether he really didn't react or was pretending to be stupid. An unnatural look flashed across his face.
Han Xiaotao would not give up so easily, and repeated: "In a home like that, if grandma is around, although she will often get beaten, she will still feel cared for by her family, so Min Hao should love grandma very much, right?"
?”
Cui Minhao's eyes made small waves.
At that time, who was always calling in an old voice in my ears: Min Hao, Hao!
At that time, who was always teaching with a stick: You damn kid, if you continue to be so naughty, grandma will not care about you anymore!
At that time, who blew out the candles on the cake for him, when it was his birthday: Our Minhao is ten years old, it’s time to grow up and be sensible.
But why am I so ignorant? She always makes her sad and anxious, but she still shows a kind face to him. When everyone thinks he is a bad boy, only she will touch his head with her hands.
, said lovingly: "Our family Minhao is a clever child, but his mind has not grown up. It's better not to be polluted by the adult world."
grandmother……
The term that had been buried in my heart for many years seemed to sprout from my heart because of Han Xiaotao's mention, and I could no longer hide the blossoming longing.
Cui Minhao's Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, and he had been thinking about what he wanted to say for a long time.
"If I love her, I can let her stay in this world for one more day. I can admit it a thousand times, ten thousand times. I can even use my own life to exchange for her to stay with me, but it's useless." He slowly said
Stopping, lowering your eyelids and staring at your feet. You are not used to showing weakness in front of others, but Han Xiaotao, this girl has such power that you are not afraid to speak out what is on your heart, even the most difficult to heal wounds.
.It seems that I can be comforted by her smile.
"Although grandma is no longer with you, you can still feel her, and she will still tell you to see the road ahead clearly." Han Xiaotao said with a smile. Cui Minhao raised his head, showing doubts in his eyes.
Can people still be perceived by this world? Han Xiaotao's attention was attracted elsewhere. "Okay, don't think about these unhappy things. Come on, go in and take a look!" As he said this, he pulled Cui Minhao in without saying anything.
The supermarket next door.
Cui Minhao looked at Han Xiaotao who looked very interested and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
"Buying vegetables!" Han Xiaotao said nonchalantly, while throwing various vegetables into the cart. Then he pulled Cui Minhao to the meat counter, pointed at the glass cabinet and asked: "What kind of meat do you like to eat?
?”
Cui Minhao glanced at Han Xiaotao and wondered if this girl was going to cook herself in the evening, right? Although she doubted her cooking skills, she still cooperated in a respectful manner. "It doesn't matter, as long as it's meat."
"Everything is fine?" Han Xiaotao pouted, how could anyone be so good at eating meat? She lowered her head and was looking around the counter when she suddenly saw the pork chops. Then she pointed at it and said, "Cui Minhao, you shouldn't
Will you eat this?"
Cui Minhao looked at it and said with a bit of disgust: "If you do well, you can give it a try."
Han Xiaotao raised her head in surprise and looked at Cui Minhao and said seriously: "But animals generally don't eat their own kind, right?"
Only then did Cui Minhao react and shouted: "Ah, you girl!"
"Haha!" Han Xiaotao laughed, turned around and continued to carefully select meat. "Hey, Cui Minhao, please give me some advice quickly, or I won't give you food tonight."
Cui Minhao glared at Han Xiaotao, but thinking that he was "living under someone else's roof" for the time being, he had to cooperate a little. He was used to being a young man at home, and he was really not used to the feeling of going to the supermarket to buy groceries by himself. He shrugged awkwardly and said: "
Then beef is ready, and you can also make steak."
"Steak?" Han Xiaotao looked at him strangely, and Cui Minhao was a little startled by what flashed in his eyes. He suddenly remembered Han Xiaotao's uncomfortable behavior in the western restaurant that day. It could be seen that she didn't like steak.
Or maybe she didn't like the way to eat steak - she seemed to be a little repelled by the knife. In this case, it seemed that he had made a suggestion that he shouldn't have made. He scratched his head, changed the subject and said: "Hey, but I drank it yesterday.
There’s a lot of wine, you’ll get angry if you eat steak, right?”
"Then just buy a chicken and make soup." Han Xiaotao was afraid that Cui Minhao would regret it, so she immediately took a box of chicken and hurriedly turned around and left the counter.
Cui Minhao noticed something was wrong, but he didn't expose it or ask any questions. He just followed her throughout the supermarket.
When checking out, one person brought a large bag of "trophies", and Han Xiaotao was even more excited. The pocket in his arms filled a small half bag of large, red oranges. "The greenhouse technology is good, and you can eat it in this season."
Such good oranges." Han Xiaotao praised her as she walked.
"Why did you buy so many oranges?" Cui Minhao asked looking at the stupid look on her face.
"Because I like it!" Han Xiaotao shrugged disapprovingly and showed a big smile to Cui Minhao.
When Cui Minhao looked at her, something called warmth seemed to be spreading in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, why don't you go home? And why did you drink yesterday?" Han Xiaotao then remembered to question and looked up at Cui Minhao.
Unexpectedly, Cui Minhao's face darkened and he said angrily: "I do. Can't I still do what Cui Minhao wants to do? You should think that Peng Pi Sheng Hui is the one, so why do you look so wary?"
Han Xiaotao stared at him with some contempt, but it was obvious that what Cui Minhao said was not entirely true. It was true that he was domineering and wanton, but his eyes clearly betrayed him, and he was hiding something he didn't want to tell. Han
Xiao Tao did not expose him directly, but said: "Of course I have to be vigilant. People like you who don't go home when you are drunk and run to other people's houses are so dangerous. I really have to be careful."
Cui Minhao looked a little embarrassed, and said bravely: "Let me tell you, Han Xiaotao, have you made a mistake? For a woman like you who has no money and no sex, I should be wary of you, right? I am the dignified Cui Minhao,
How many women want to get close to me, who knows what your intentions are!"
Angrily, Han Xiaotao raised her hand and flicked Cui Minhao's forehead with lightning speed, and said angrily: "Beware of you big-headed devil!"
Hearing Cui Minhao scream, he looked at Han Xiaotao who had already run forward with a guilty conscience, showing an unhappy and helpless expression, but his eyes were full of doting. He shouted: "Han Xiaotao, you
Stop!"
The two chased each other on the street and returned to Han's house, fighting and noisy.
Han Xiaotao was busy washing vegetables and washing rice in the kitchen.
Grandpa came back from Taoyuan and saw Xiaotao busy in the kitchen and Minhao sitting on the sofa watching TV boredly, so he said, "School ends very early today."
"I didn't go to school today." Han Xiaotao took advantage of the break to take a breath and replied to her grandfather.
"Is it okay if you don't go to class?" Grandpa asked.
"It's okay. There are school activities in the past two weeks, so you don't have to go to class." Han Xiaotao didn't want to join in the excitement of the opening ceremony. Anyway, it was just the leader's speech and the like. It was very boring. Go there when you have time.
Just check out the Cherry Blossom Festival, since you can take the boat if you have a student ID card.
"Oh." Grandpa nodded and muttered to himself, "The peach orchard has been blooming recently. I knew it would bloom earlier every year at Xiaobai." He seemed a little proud because of his accurate prediction.
He was so proud that he couldn't help but be beaming when he spoke.
"'Xiaobai'?" Cui Minhao was confused.
Han Xiaotao poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "'Xiaobai' is the nickname my grandfather gave to those peach trees; the ones in the east garden are lighter in color, so they are called 'Xiaobai', and the ones in the west garden that are darker are called 'Xiaobai'.
'Ah Fen'."
"Oh." Cui Minhao laughed. He had never met such an interesting gardener before. He really regarded the trees as his own children. He thought that it was probably because of such a grandfather that Han Xiaotao became what he is now, right? Nervous.
Da Tiao is a little confused. Could it be that his grandpa raised it as a peach tree?
"Master Cui." Grandpa's call pulled Min Hao out of his silly smile. Grandpa waved and said, "Come and play two games of chess with the old man?"
"Oh, okay." Although Cui Minhao was called young master, he couldn't act like a young master in front of his grandfather. He just sat down in a proper manner. It must be said that his grandfather's chess skills are quite superb, no matter how serious Cui Minhao was.
He is no match for Grandpa. "Ah, I will never win this." Cui Minhao was a little frustrated, but admired him very much.
Grandpa himself laughed and said to Cui Minhao: "As for playing chess, if you play more, you will naturally know more tricks and think more carefully. As people get older and have experienced more things, they can see things more clearly.
The same is true for a person's life. Some things must be let go, and some things require persistence. This is character without regrets. Only when you know how to take the initiative can you move forward and retreat freely." With that, he ate Cui Minhao's "
Will".
Cui Minhao felt that what his grandfather said was very profound, but it seemed to make sense. However, he could not fully understand it for a while. He just felt that life is like a game of chess. How to play chess without regrets, how to advance and retreat freely, this is the key to life.
This is true for knowledge, whether it is love or family ties. He felt as if he had understood something, but Han Xiaotao had already brought large and small bowls to the table and said, "Let's eat!"
This was Cui Minhao's first time sitting in such a small room, sitting around a table with others, eating hot rice together. Han Xiaotao would peel shrimps or shape rice balls with bare hands and stuff them into his mouth. In the past,
Cui Minhao was taught high table manners. Even with her grandma, she never knew that eating could be so casual. Although she was not used to it, she found it fun. Grandpa would drink a small glass of soju. If he still wanted,
He would be scolded by Xiao Tao, and Cui Minhao would burst out laughing when he saw his grandpa blushing.
After dinner, after clearing the dishes, Han Xiaotao took Cui Minhao out of the house with his pocket in hand, but remained mysterious without saying where he was going.
"Just go. I want to take Minhao to do fun things."
