Xiao Xiao also looked at the wisteria flower stand.
He nodded.
"very beautiful."
…
"My wife planted this..."
The old man's eyes showed emotion.
…
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
"Your wife..."
There is no one else in the house.
Even if he didn't walk into the house, he would know.
I met the old man several times, and he was always alone.
The old man’s wife…
…
"She went to the child's home in the city."
The old man said with a smile.
…
Xiao Xiao:......
He blinked.
Then he laughed.
"Oh, I see."
"I asked why I didn't see the old lady..."
…
"Oh, let's not chat here."
The old man remembered the purpose of his hurry back.
"I have to hurry up..."
…
"Grandpa Zou, let me help you."
Since there was no way to dispel the old man's idea, Xiao Xiao decided to join.
…
"Need not."
The old man waved his hands as he walked.
"It was originally a gift to you."
"It's what they call a souvenir."
"If you come to help...what's the point?"
"No, no, no."
The old man was very determined.
…
"You go to the village for a walk."
The old man thought of Xiao Xiao walking in the village when he saw him.
Are you visiting the village?
Although he didn't quite understand, didn't Xiaoyou visit yesterday?
Does such a limited village have so much to see?
The old man shook his head.
He found that he had gone astray.
Maybe it's like the literal meaning of what he just said.
Xiaoyou was just taking a walk.
"Come to my place again before you leave."
"Bring the snacks I made."
…
Xiao Xiao followed the old man to the kitchen.
…
The old man saw this.
He shook his head helplessly.
There was no more “rushing guests”.
But Xiao Xiao was not asked to help.
Just let him watch from the side.
…
Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders slightly.
He thought of what the old man said before.
"Why didn't you go to the child's home in the city with the old lady?"
He chatted with the old man.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to just be here?
…
"The child's house is too small."
The old man's answer was quite straightforward.
…
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised and a little amused.
"ah?"
…
The old man's hands kept moving.
He is also sharp-tongued.
"The child's house is not big."
This time the old man used a relatively tactful expression.
"Both of us have had some trouble with the kids in the past."
"It's not an important day anyway."
"Like some family reunion holidays where the kids would pick us up to take us to town, or they would come here to eat."
"...Since the old lady wants to have a child, she can go and stay there by herself for a few days."
"Next time the old man misses the child, he will also go to the child's home to stay for a few days."
…
"oh."
Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled.
"That's good of you."
You can feel it from the emotion expressed in the old man's words. The relationship between the old man, the old lady, and the children is very good.
Beautiful emotions always make people feel happy.
Xiao Xiao curled up the corners of his mouth.
…
"Isn't it?"
The old man smiled a little proudly.
“And you can take care of the family if you leave one person at home.”
"As you can see, the wisteria in the yard is so beautiful."
"That's the old woman's baby bump."
"You can't be careless at all."
"When summer comes, there will still be lotus flowers in the water tank in our yard."
"Autumn is here, and our sweet-scented osmanthus tree blooms beautifully every year."
"ah."
The old man looked like he was thinking of something.
"correct."
"I'll go see if there's any leftover osmanthus sauce from last year."
"If there are any, you can also take a few cans."
"My wife and I made this ourselves."
“It tastes so good.”
"Everyone likes it very much."
"Every time we finish it, in addition to what we keep for ourselves, we will give it to the nearby neighbors and Dr. Zhang."
"So there isn't much left over for the second year."
"I didn't think of it yesterday..."
The old man babbled.
Perhaps because he thought of something good to give to Xiao Xiao, the old man squinted his eyes and smiled happily.
"It just so happens that you also like to eat sweet things. I think you will like this osmanthus sauce."
…
Seeing that the old man was so happy, Xiao Xiao would naturally not pour cold water on him at this time and say some rejection words that the old man didn't like to hear.
He raised the corners of his mouth.
"Um."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zou."
…
"What can I say thank you for?"
The old man waved his hand carelessly.
"They are all common things in the village."
“It’s not as exquisite as the things in the city.”
“But the advantage is that we make it ourselves, so the quality can still be guaranteed.”
"Well."
"As you city folk say, authentic."
…
Under the old man's quick movements, the prototype of the dim sum gradually emerged.
The old man has been making these snacks for many years.
All steps and weights are clearly understood.
So you can do two things at once.
While talking to Xiao Xiao, the movements of his hands were flawless.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly.
Grandpa Zou's appearance at this time reminded him of his own grandfather.
In his past memory, and of course now, he saw his grandfather busy in the kitchen countless times.
It's also so easy.
All movements flow smoothly.
The beautiful snacks gradually take shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…
"Pa~"
The old man closed the oven.
"This oven was given to me by my children."
The old man smiled a little proudly.
"The old man didn't want it at first."
"The old man has been making snacks for so many years, but he has never used an oven."
"But the old woman scolded the old man for not making any progress and being unwilling to accept new things..."
"I've been to the city a lot, and I know more about it."
The old man looked a little helpless, but there was a smile in his voice.
"Besides, it's the child's wish after all, so the old man accepted it."
"My wife and I spent a long time learning how to use this oven."
"People are getting older."
"It's slow to learn things."
"But after learning how to use it, we found that this oven is really good."
“Easy to use.”
"It saved us a lot of effort."
"Sure enough, technology is amazing."
…
"Um."
The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a bit.
The last words are considered to sublimate the theme.
…
"ah."
The old man clapped his hands fiercely.
"Look at me."
"I almost forgot."
"Osmanthus sauce!"
…
"wait."
"I'll try and find it."
Before he could finish his words, the old man started rummaging around.
