After Mrs. Jia Zhang left with Bangge, there was no more trouble.
In Su Cheng's room, Qin Huairu, the charming widow, seemed much silent. Thinking about such a scene, she felt uncomfortable.
As for being stubborn and leaving with Xiaodang and Huaihua without looking at Su Cheng's face and refusing to eat his meal, Qin Huairu couldn't do it.
Maybe she had thought about it in her mind, but it turned out that this was just a matter of Bangge's lack of education and she couldn't blame him.
Besides, she couldn't bear to part with the food on the table. Just say a few words to Su Cheng, so that the children could eat something good. What did her own grievance mean?
The adult world is more about bowing to life.
Although Qin Huairu didn't talk much at the moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table would not be deserted just because of her silence.
Xiaodang and Huaihua, who were sitting next to the old lady, were eating happily at the moment. The white-flour steamed buns were stuffed with meat and kept being put into their mouths. Of course, it would not look good, but no one would blame them.
, it is not possible to eat meat every day these days. Even if Su Cheng earns a salary of more than 100 per month, it would be good if he can eat like this every now and then. How can he ask the two children who often cannot eat white flour and meat?
How good does it need to be to taste good?
The old lady looked at Xiaodang and Sophora japonica with their mouths full of oil stains. She didn't blame them. She had a doting smile on her face. She didn't eat much. Instead, she kept picking up food for them and giving instructions to the two girls.
Don't eat so fast, baby, or you may choke.
Even the little girl Qin Jingru, who was a little reserved at first, served the old lady and Su Cheng two quick dishes, but under the temptation of the white-flour steamed buns and the meat, she also started to eat with a smile on her face from time to time.
Show a satisfied smile.
As for Su Cheng, he took a bite of a steamed bun, and then picked up the kuaizi and tasted some of the dishes on the table. The taste was a bit vegetarian, and obviously there was less oil, but it was probably because Qin Jingru was frugal in the countryside.
He didn't want to let it go. Su Cheng wouldn't say much about it. He just picked up a few kuaizi and tasted it. He could still eat this kind of food often.
Qin Jingru had just swallowed a steamed bun and noticed that Su Cheng was not moving much. The pleasure brought by the food was also slightly reduced. She looked at Su Cheng with a little worry and asked,
"Brother Su Cheng, why don't you eat more? Is the food I cooked not to your liking?"
It’s really not to your liking!
But Su Cheng naturally didn't say this, but smiled and said,
"The food you cooked is quite good. I just don't have much appetite. It's okay. You can eat and don't worry about me."
The old lady on the side, still unaware of Su Cheng's naughty tongue, also said cheerfully to Qin Jingru,
"Jingru, you don't need to pay attention to him, we'll eat what's ours."
Then he gave Qin Jingru a piece of meat and said distressedly,
"Look at the look on your face. You were hungry a lot in the countryside, right?"
Perhaps because she was busy in the kitchen before, Qin Huairu spent a lot of time on her elaborate makeup, and now the color of the food on her face was faintly visible.
When Qin Jingru listened to the old lady's words, she instantly remembered what Qin Huairu said to her in the morning, and took the opportunity to put on a sad face and said miserably,
"Grandma, that's not true. Just talk about me. Every day in the countryside, I have to eat steamed buns to fill my stomach and have to work in the fields. When the harvest is not good, I can't even eat steamed buns, let alone eat white flour.
The steamed buns are gone with the meat.”
Just as Qin Huairu said, the old man is soft-hearted and cannot bear to see those tragic things. The old lady was also touched at the moment and comforted,
"You girl are also a miserable child!"
Qin Jingru got the old lady's approval and started her performance even harder, saying with a sad face,
"Grandma, the past two years have actually been good. I can still eat two steamed buns every day. Although I can't fill my stomach, I can occasionally go to the ravines to dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger. It's not like a few years ago, when I was just
When I was fourteen years old, the ground was cracked, but God didn’t rain, and the crops were all dead. Not to mention Wowotou, I couldn’t even find wild vegetables in the ravines, so I could only chew the bark of trees.”
Speaking of this, Qin Jingru herself was a little moved, because this incident was not made up, it was something she had just experienced a few years ago. Tears were streaming down her cheeks at this moment, and Lihua continued with a rainy voice,
"I remember the most difficult time, when I couldn't even chew the roots of the tree. My father cut his cowhide into pieces and cooked them for us brothers and sisters to eat. He himself ate Guanyin soil on the side. But even so, originally
I also have two younger brothers who didn’t survive that year.”
Although the old lady has been living in the courtyard, she has heard about the famine in the past few years. Now listening to Qin Jingru's cry, she also wiped her tears.
Although Su Cheng on the side also knew about this, he also lamented and sympathized with Qin Jingru's experience.
But can't we say this at another time? Do we have to say it during meals?
It makes me feel sad now. I don’t know, but I think something big has happened and I can’t have a good meal?
Su Cheng hated this kind of crying scene the most. He immediately gave Qin Jingru a dissatisfied look and said,
"Sister Jingru, can we not talk about this? Can't we just have a happy meal today?"
Then he looked at the tearful old lady and smoothed things over, saying,
"Grandma, look at you, you are sad for spring and autumn. Aren't all the past things in the past gone? Why do you think so much? Aren't we getting better and better these days?"
Qin Huairu, who was a bit taciturn at first, did not expect that Qin Jingru would suddenly have a showdown with the old lady at the dinner table. At this moment, she also glared at Qin Jingru and felt tired. It is always right to show up to win sympathy.
But you can't talk to the old lady in private, and it has to be during a meal?
In desperation, Qin Huairu followed Su Cheng and scolded Qin Jingru,
"Jingru, eat your food well and stop talking!"
In fact, the old lady was just like that. She was just sad for a while. Her tears came and went quickly. She listened to the words of Su Cheng and Qin Huairu and glanced at Qin Jingru, who still had two lines of tears and looked aggrieved. She was dissatisfied.
He glared at Su Cheng and said,
"You little monkey, can you talk properly?"
Then he comforted Qin Jingru and said,
"I'm telling you, girl, you don't need to pay attention to what my grandson says, but today is really not the right time to talk about these sad things. Wipe your tears quickly, they are all stained faces."
Qin Jingru also calmed down now. She was not really sad. She quickly stopped crying. It’s just that the sadness is gone now, but her stomach is full of grievances. Now she listened to the old lady’s words.
, he also reluctantly showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said,
"Grandma, doesn't it look ugly when I cry?"
The old lady also said cheerfully now,
"Yes, he has become a big tabby cat!"
Su Cheng glanced at Qin Jingru and said nothing. He just thought that this woman's focus was strange.
On the contrary, Huaihuatong Yan Wuji, who was already half full, glanced at Qin Jingru and said with a milky voice,
"My aunt is a tabby cat, very shy."
When Qin Jingru heard what Huaihua said, she immediately looked embarrassed. She pretended to be angry and glared at Xiaohuaihua, and then cast a resentful look at Qin Huairu.
Qin Jingru:!
!
Sister, weren't you the one who made me suffer? How could it be like this?
Qin Huairu glanced at Qin Jingru and frowned helplessly, her heart racing again.
Qin Huairu:!
!
I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people. You don’t know how to choose a situation to speak, and you still blame me?
…
It was just a meal, and so many things happened, but fortunately there was no more fuss afterwards, so it ended happily.
After eating, Qin Jingru helped clear the bowls, and Qin Huairu also left with her two children.
In the living room inside the house, the old lady glanced at Qin Jingru who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and at Su Cheng who was posing on the sofa again. She couldn't help but stepped forward and slapped Su Cheng in the face and cursed with a smile.
,
"I just finished eating and I can't even sit down. Please get up and sit down quickly."
Su Cheng had no choice but to stand up, glanced at the old lady and said,
"Grandma, what are you doing again?"
The old lady hid her smile and said,
"I think Jingru is a pretty girl, how about you spend more time with her?"
Su Cheng's mind was wavering now, but he didn't refuse and said immediately,
"Grandma, you have already told me, how dare I disobey you?"
The old lady was also experienced, so she immediately gave Su Cheng advice, took his hand and said cheerfully,
"Chengzi, when Jingru comes out, you can take her to a nearby park by bike, and by the way, go to Wangfujing. You can have dinner outside. Do you know how to stay with her?"
Then he was afraid that Su Cheng would be worried, so he continued,
"Don't worry, grandma will take care of it herself after dinner. Remember to come back later!"
Finally, he leaned into Su Cheng's ear mysteriously and said,
"Shengzi, if you really see the truth, you don't have to come back! Grandma understands!"
Su Cheng:......
Old lady, I think there is something strange in what you said!
After Su Cheng heard this, he changed to a more comfortable position and lay down. He glanced at the old lady helplessly and rolled his eyes and said,
"Grandma, you are so crooked! Aren't you afraid that your grandson will be caught in the police?"
When the old lady heard this, she said cheerfully,
"As long as you hurry up and give me a big fat boy, even if you get into trouble, grandma will fish you out!"
Su Cheng:......
…
However, Qin Huairu led Xiaodang and Sophora japonica back to Yuyu's house in the courtyard after eating and drinking. They met Silly Zhu standing at the door of Yuyu's house with a big "I'm not happy" written on his face.
, Before Qin Huairu could speak, Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu and shouted dissatisfied,
"Qin Huairu, you are really not kind enough! I said you were going to introduce your cousin to me before, but why did you suddenly change your mind? Do you have a crush on Su Cheng?"
When Si Zhu said this, he also pouted and said dissatisfiedly,
"You don't want to take a look at your cousin's identity or Su Cheng's identity. Can people take a fancy to her?"
