Chapter 23 Eccentric Grandma

Hearing her sister's words, Ran Yue's anger dissipated immediately, she squeezed out a smile, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, I'm fine, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable after lying down for so long."

After all, Xiaoqi is a child, and she acts on intuition. When she saw Ran Yue smiling, she regarded the previous feeling as an illusion. She took Ran Yue's hand, "Okay, fourth sister, let's go to the kitchen to see What delicious food did grandma cook today? I remember that my eldest sister and the others brought back half of the elbow yesterday. I just ate roast chicken yesterday, but I haven’t eaten the elbow yet. Maybe grandma will stew the elbow today. It must be Yes, smell it, how fragrant it is."

Wanting the fourth girl to lie alone in the broken thatched hut with air leaks on all sides, only a jar of cold boiled water, but others can eat hot meat, Ran Yue became even more angry, although she was angry at the leftovers from other people's banquets. The dishes were of no interest.

What Ran Yue didn't know was that if the eldest sister was not about to marry a side branch of the Wu family, the Zhang family would not be able to get back these leftovers.

Before he reached the kitchen, he heard an old woman shouting, "Qi girl, the firewood is almost gone, go and get some!"

Xiao Qi curled his mouth, very unhappy, but still agreed: "Oh, I'll get it right away!"

There was a firewood stack in the yard of the Zhang family. Xiao Qi picked up a bundle of firewood with a pitchfork, and then carried it into the kitchen. With her small body, she could only carry a bundle of firewood.

It was only then that Ran Yue noticed that the Zhang family's houses were almost all brick and tile houses, and there was only one thatched hut standing there alone, which was the one where Ran Yue stayed before, and Xiao Ba was also lying there before, until his body was cold was carried out.

Perhaps those people also waited for Si Yatou to cool down completely before they prepared to take a look at her, and then carried her out.

"Ouch!" Xiaoqi suddenly called out in the kitchen.

"Smelly girl, you lose money, you don't need money for firewood, why do you put so much?"

Hearing this very familiar voice in her memory, Ran Yue understood what was going on, and immediately stepped in. Inside, an old woman with a hunched waist patted Xiao Qi with real strength. Looking at Ran Yue Yue felt very painful, and Xiao Qi was still a child.

Ran Yue grabbed the old woman's raised hand. The hand was rough and dry, just like old tree bark.

The old woman looked at Ran Yue in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Xiaosi? You can get up. Are you feeling well?"

Ran Yue looked at the old woman's weather-beaten face, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm really better. Grandma, Xiao Qi is still a child, so don't be too hard on yourself."

Mrs. Zhang only felt that her fourth granddaughter's hands were very strong, and she didn't want to look like she was just recovering from a serious illness.

"Xiao Si, what are you doing? Now that you can get up, let's go to work. The water in the kitchen is about to run out, so you fill up the water tank. Xiao Qi, bring some bundles of firewood in, and then help to light the fire. Farming is busy recently, and your grandfather and parents are busy in the fields." Mrs. Zhang gave orders habitually, ignoring the fact that her fourth granddaughter had been burned for several days and had been lying in the broken hut for several days. Boiled water, I hadn't eaten or drank anything, so I asked her to fetch water.

Ran Yue glanced at what was cooking in the pot, and her brows frowned even tighter. A big pot of vegetables with some wheat bran, is this the Zhang family's lunch?People who work in the fields eat these?Therefore, even though she was dissatisfied, she didn't attack immediately.

"Grandma, where are the elbows? I remember that my eldest sister brought the elbows back yesterday. I can smell the aroma." Xiaoqi was picking at the pot, her small nose constantly twitching, like a little pig looking for food.

"Elbows are for men to eat. Your father, your father, and your brother eat them. Your father and your father do physical work. Of course, you need to eat some meat. Your brother is a Wenqu star. As long as he can pass the exam What's the matter, our family will have a good life. Didn't you eat roast chicken yesterday, so don't worry about the elbow today." Zhang Wang impatiently gave Xiao Qi a supercilious look. Originally, she was planning to She did it, but after meeting Ran Yue's half-smiling gaze, she couldn't help but hesitated, and still didn't dare to do it.

People who have been hungry for a long time are particularly sensitive to the taste of food. Ran Yue suddenly lifted the lid of the smaller pot inside, and the boiled snow-white broth appeared. The elbow meat had been boiled, white and red , floating full of oil flowers, it looks quite appetizing.But when she thought that this pot of elbow soup was stewed with other people's leftover elbows, Ran Yue suddenly lost her appetite.

"Crack!" Zhang Wang hit the back of Ran Yue's hand with a chopstick. She smelled the smell of meat in the pot, swallowed her saliva, and said anxiously and distressed: "Oh, who told you to take off the lid of the pot? Once you lift the lid off the pot, the broth will be cold, and you have to cook it with firewood again. And if the smell of meat spreads, the neighbors are reluctant to come to the door. If people come to ask for a bowl of soup and a piece of meat, I can say no. .You unlucky boy, who told you to uncover the pot? Who told you to do it?"

Before she finished speaking, Ran Yue had already received more than a dozen blows on the back of her hand, and the red marks from the chopsticks had already appeared.

Ran Yue slammed the pot lid back on the pot with one hand, held the chopsticks with the other hand, looked at Zhang Wang, whose face turned dark, and said: "Grandma, didn't you ask me to fetch water, but how can I have the strength if I don't eat?" To fetch water?"

Mrs. Zhang Wang wanted to take the chopsticks back, but she couldn't pull them back. She snorted and said angrily, "What are you going to eat? It's not time for dinner yet. Do you think our family is the family of Mr. Wu? Eat as much as you want, and drink as much as you want. Drink a bowl of water when you are hungry, and then you will have the strength to work when you are full. You are a peasant girl. Don’t dream of a young lady, and work honestly is the real thing. of."

Hearing what Zhang Wang said, the anger in Ran Yue's heart surged up, as long as she was given another little spark, her big gun battle would explode.

But Ran Yue really couldn't do it to an old lady, she couldn't wait to find an alternative target, Xiao Qi was immediately cowed by her murderous stare, and her body was trembling with fright.

At this moment, there was a brisk shout from outside the yard: "Grandma, I'm back."

Hearing that the eldest grandson came back, Zhang Wang's old face smiled brightly like a chrysanthemum, and she didn't care about the conflict with Ran Yue, she smiled and waved: "Ronggui, you are back, come quickly and let grandma Take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for a day, grandma really misses you."

With that said, Mrs. Zhang filled a bowl of broth that Ran Yue was not allowed to touch just now. It was full of meat. She also took out a jar of wheat rice from the boiler, and greeted Zhang Ronggui warmly. Said: "Good grandson, come and eat, grandma left you delicious, warm food, you can eat it now."
