Chapter 36

"Auntie, if you trust me and Xiaoxiao, we can take care of Zhuzi like this until we become adults, and nothing will change."

Hancheng understands the concerns of the elderly, her son is gone, she is too old, and her grandson is still so young. When she is gone, she can only rely on her grandson's mother to take care of one or two. Tiger poison does not eat children, no matter how bad she is, she is also Zhuzi's relative. Mother, she can't control her marriage, but she can only count on her.

The old lady really thinks so, these days, every family has many children, and their own children can't handle it, how can they care about the pillars? She is not at ease when entrusting it to Madam Zhuzi, and similarly, she is not at ease when entrusting it to others.

The most powerful thing about Zhuziniang is the promise that the old man will not change Zhuzi's surname. These days, the idea of ​​inheriting the lineage is still very deep-rooted. As long as Zhuzi does not change his surname, no matter where he goes in the future, it will always be someone from their old Zhang family who treats her. After returning to the old age for a hundred years, during the festivals, someone always removes a handful of grass and lays a glass of sake in front of the ancestral grave of the old Zhang family.

Grandma Zhuzi looked at Hancheng with her dim eyes, and then thought of Su Xiaoxiao, who was kind-hearted. This couple are really good people.

"My wife is going to work in a while, and my Xiaodoubao is less than two years old. It is inconvenient to bring Xiaodoubao around. If you stay at home, you need someone to help take care of it at home. If you want, help take care of it during the day, we will take care of you. And Zhuzi's rice, my family's rice balls and Zhuzi are the same age, they can go to school together, have dinner, and Zhuzi can stay to study or go home.

Madam Zhuzi doesn't even give Zhuzi a bite to eat. How do you expect her to take care of Zhuzi? When the pillars are bigger, they may become the long-term worker of their family. In the past, they also helped with work. Whether they can go to school or whether they can eat enough is a problem.

You don't have to worry about putting the money on us. There is a certain amount of organization every month. If you need the money, we will return it to you, but we are afraid that you will be soft-hearted and give the money to the mother and the aunt, and the money is given to the pillar. Mother, basically there is no return, and in the future, I will not be able to use the pillars at all. It is not really a plan for the pillars in the future, you should think about it. "

Hancheng's words can be said to be heartfelt, Zhuzi is a child who deserves to be pulled, that's why he said so much, Zhuzi smiled and smiled together, that's why he wanted to help him, neither he nor Su Xiaoxiao are saints, let Grandma Zhuzi take care of him The xiaodoubao is not an excuse. The rice balls are going to school after the new year. The xiaodoubao is so small that either Su Xiaoxiao took it or he took it. Of course, it is not impossible, but it is a matter of one move, two gains, what can you have against it?

Grandma Zhuzi is actually heartbroken. If it was someone else, she might wonder if she has other motives, but Hancheng's reputation has always been good with them. He is still a director, and Su Xiaoxiao is also a kindhearted person. The only thing she worries about is herself. Take advantage of others.

Grandma Zhuzi still expressed her concerns: "Even if we use all the votes and money in our family, we won't be able to eat a few meals of meat. This is too cheap for your family, and if I don't give it to Zhuzi, she will There may be trouble too, in case she doesn't recognize the pillar in the future..."

Grandma Zhuzi started to cry as she spoke: "Our family Zhuzi has lost his father, and his mother will not care about his words in the future. How pitiful he is, woo woo woo..."

In the first year, he still valued blood and family. Grandma Zhuzi felt that if she left, and his mother didn't care about him, then Zhuzi would really become an orphan.

Chen Aimin handed a candy to Grandma Zhuzi and asked her, "Grandma Zhuzi, what do you think of me?"

Grandma Zhuzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Candy. She was not a child. This Doctor Chen even coaxed her with Candy. Dr. Chen was very enthusiastic and even helped her make two meals. food for her.

She nodded: "You are handsome and kind."

Dr. Chen said: "Then you let Zhuzi recognize me as godfather, and I will take care of Zhuzi in the future, what do you think?"

Grandma Zhuzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, Dr. Chen, don't join in the fun, you're not married yet, how can a single comrade be a godfather to a child."

Dr. Chen regretted very much: "It's a pity, I'm going to be the godfather of Zhuzi, I'm not sure I can go to Director Han's house for a meal in this capacity, you don't know how delicious the food at Director Han's house is. "

Of course, Grandma Zhuzi knew that she had smelled it several times when she passed by, otherwise why would she sell the stone snails to Hancheng's daughter-in-law, not just because she knew that they were good food.

But she can't take advantage of others because of this, but if she helps take care of the children, it's not a big advantage, isn't Hancheng's daughter-in-law saying that the vegetable garden at home is still empty? She can also help her grow and order vegetables. In short, she helps her with her work, and she just needs to eat other people's food for free.

Grandma Zhuzi didn't have so many worries when she calmed down and figured it out. It wasn't that she didn't know that Mother Zhuzi was unreliable, but no matter how unreliable she was, it was not her mother.

But Hancheng has a saying that reminds her, why not now she wants to live with the pillars? But don't really think about waiting for Zhu Zi to grow up to be a long-term worker for their family. If this is the case, it is not for the grandson, it is harming the grandson.

Thinking of this, Grandma Zhuzi really broke out in a cold sweat.

Being interrupted by Dr. Chen, Tie Hanhan, Hancheng almost forgot what he said.

"Auntie, how do you think about it?" Hancheng said, if Grandma Zhuzi is not willing, he can't force it.

The old lady nodded: "Okay, then my old lady will be thick-skinned to accept your kindness, and I will trouble you in the future. It's just that if Madam Zhuzi comes to make trouble, it may trouble you even more."

Hancheng shook his head: "I'm just waiting for her to come. Your injury hasn't settled with her yet, and she shouldn't have taken all the pension, at least half of it must be left for you and the pillar."

It's just that if Grandma Zhuzi offered to give it, she wouldn't be able to get it back.

Grandma Zhuzi sighed: "It's not easy for her either, if you marry her with more dowry, it won't be so easy for them to accept her. Forget it, it was my son's fate that made her a widow. After all, I gave birth to a pillar for our old Zhang family, and after keeping one, I will give the pillar a blessing."

Hancheng guessed that this is the case. If it is not such a kind-hearted old man, he can't raise a child like Zhuzi. It is a blessing.

Now that it has been finalized, Hancheng can be considered to have completed the task given by Su Xiaoxiao.

Grandma Zhuzi was fine. She was originally going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning. She had something in her heart, so she went through the discharge procedures directly. She also followed the comrades of the army to the logistics department and transferred the food stamp relationship to Hancheng under the witness of Zhao Xianfeng. Go there, it's settled.

After half an afternoon of effort, the little rice ball had already learned pinyin, and also recited "Yong Goose" and "Pity for Agriculture" by the way, nothing to say to his younger brother: "Goose, goose, goose, Qu Xiang Xiang Tiange, white hair floating on green water , the red palm dials the clear wave..."

Xiaodoubao thought it was very fun, and followed his brother: "Goose goose, goose goose..." Then he kept giggling.

It was rare for Xiaodoubao to smile so happily, and he took the initiative to speak, Su Xiaoxiao felt very relieved.

For the first time in his life, Su Xiaoxiao realized what it means to teach and not learn quickly. This little cub of rice balls is like an incinerator of knowledge. When he teaches him anything, he will absorb it with a "swoosh".

Such a child really can’t keep to conventional ways to teach. In the extra time, Su Xiaoxiao has to assign him a writing task. Every time he learns a word, he will write it together with the pinyin. There is no shortcut to writing. He is so young and can only To learn every word from the simple to the deep, you have to master the basic skills. If he is still so energetic, Su Xiaoxiao plans to ask Hancheng to teach him how to write calligraphy at night.

Su Xiaoxiao also studied with him for almost two hours before going to pinch the persimmons.

Rice balls and Doubao also like to pinch persimmons. Doubao hurts one hand, so he poked at the persimmon with his fingers. After puncturing two, Su Xiaoxiao took the little cub aside and asked him to puncture the punctured persimmon. The semi-finished product was eaten.

The small rice ball was well squeezed, but seeing that the persimmons were eaten by the small bean bag, they also deliberately punctured two: "Mom, look, it's broken!"

Su Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Cub, if you want to eat it, just say, next time you can't deliberately pierce it, this one will be much better when it's dried, and it will be even better if you keep it in the spring, so we keep it. Eat slowly."

The little rice ball smiled like a little fox: "I know mom, but I think it's delicious now."

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head, and Xiaozhu also helped to pinch it when he came back from school. When the pinch was finished, Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiaozhu to eat one, don't eat too much, and eat with a stomach.

Xiaozhuzi shook his head and said he would not eat it. Before he finished speaking, a small rice ball was stuffed halfway into his mouth, which he had eaten.

"Little pillar, you have eaten my saliva, and you will listen to me in the future!"

Xiaozhuzi: "..." It's not eating, it's not and it's not.

Su Xiaoxiao was really speechless: "Rice ball, don't bully Zhuzi."

The little rice ball blinked twice, and secretly said to his mother: "Mom, I lied to him, I tore the half apart, without my saliva, I just want him to listen to me."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Xiaozhu: "...I heard it."

...

The sun is almost down, Su Xiaoxiao should go to prepare dinner.

Li Yufeng brought a lot of dried plum vegetables to Su Xiaoxiao. She soaked some at noon. Now she uses half a catty of lean meat that Hancheng bought in the morning and a few grains of lard residue to chop it into meat patties, and then put the soaked dried plum vegetables. Chop them and add them in, beat them hard, and make them into patties with dried plums.

Originally, dried plum vegetables are the main dish (dishes in our hometown that need a lot of oil or meat to taste good are called local main dishes, such as dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, and dried beans), especially oil-absorbing, you have to use three to seven points of fat. Lean pork chops are fragrant, but Su Xiaoxiao has all the pork belly to use for oil refining. A few pieces of pork dregs are already very good together, so I can't force too much.

The two little fellows, Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Rice Ball, worked together to set the fire. Su Xiaoxiao put the chopped meat patties on top of the rice to steam, and then prepared the tiger skin peppers.

Su Xiaoxiao fry the chili on both sides with a little oil until the skin of the chili is on, then add a little chopped lard residue and garlic to fry until fragrant, pour the sauce prepared with sweet and sour salt and simmer for a while, and finally use the corn Boil a little starch water to collect the juice, and the barren version of tiger skin pepper is out of the pot.

This dish was supposed to be deep-fried and seasoned with fermented fermented chicken essence. The conditions were limited, so this was the only way to do it. After adding lard residue and garlic, the taste was almost the same.

These days, lard residue is a rarity, and Su Xiaoxiao is forced to use lard residue as a seasoning, because lard residue is really versatile, and it is delicious for anything.

When the food was out of the pot, Hancheng came home from get off work, and Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward to take his briefcase as usual.

Hancheng told about Grandma Zhuzi.

"So, she has already gone home in the afternoon?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Hancheng looked around: "Didn't she come over?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No."

She called to Xiao Zhuzi: "Little Zhuzi, grandma has been discharged from the hospital and went home. Now go home and let grandma come over for dinner."

Xiao Zhuzi lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head: "Aunt Su, we will cause you a lot of trouble. I'll go home and eat with grandma in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.

Immediately, he said gently: "No, Xiao Zhuzi has helped me with a lot of work today, right? You helped take care of Xiaodoubao, you helped to pinch persimmons, and you helped to burn fire and feed chickens. In the future, you have to help with work at home. Yes, the food relationship between you and grandma will also be transferred to our family, you don't eat rice, you and grandma are also part of our family, understand?"

Xiao Zhuzi bowed his head for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I'll go home and call my grandma."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Go, be careful."

"Mom, I want to go too!" The little rice ball wanted to go out again.

"Okay, let's go together." Anyway, with the little pillars, Su Xiaoxiao let the little cub go out for a yo-yo.

As a result, the food was placed on the table here, and the two cubs came back. The little rice ball shouted at the door: "Mom, grandma is not at home!"

Su Xiaoxiao and Hancheng looked at each other. Grandma Zhuzi had been home from the hospital for several hours. How could she not be home at this point?
