Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Zhang Xingwang suddenly remembered what his third aunt said. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke to Old Man Zhang:

"Some time ago, an old Chinese doctor said that my yang is weak and he told me to eat something to replenish my yin. Do you think this is reliable?"

After listening to this, Old Man Zhang stopped counting the money, suddenly raised his head and said seriously:

"How did he figure it out?"

"Well, she took my pulse for 20 seconds."

Old man Zhang looked at Zhang Xingwang, his face showing an eagerness to fight, and said in a deep voice:

"You can tell from taking the pulse? What a bullshit old Chinese doctor. The other person is definitely an expert. Can you introduce him to me?"

Zhang Xingwang remembered the half-dead look of his third aunt.

I imagined in my mind the scene of Third Auntie panting heavily and chasing Old Man Zhang with a cane, and I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

I feel that Old Man Zhang is just like his master, not very reliable.

Finally, I asked without giving up:

"Forget about the introduction. I just want to ask, do I still need to eat something to replenish my yin?"

"Of course I have to take it. Although I don't know how good he is at fighting, his medical skills are much better than those of a barefoot old man like me."

.........

In the afternoon, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren said goodbye to their aunt and returned to their grandfather's place.

Before leaving, the aunt held Zhang Xingwang's hand for a long time, not wanting to let go. She looked up at Zhang Xingwang's figure and said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye our little boy has completely grown up.

But you should worry more about the family in the future and take good care of your mother and my nieces. You have become the pillar of the family now.

Auntie, it's fine, don't worry, take care of yourself, auntie doesn't want to see you lying in bed anymore..."

The uncle-in-law also held the old man's hand with tears in his eyes, mumbling:

"Dad, next time Xingwang comes to my house, you must come with him. It's better to have an old man at home..."

The ignored little girl looked at the scene in front of her with boredom, pouted her lips impatiently, and held the sack in displeasure.

Her cousins ​​went to school, and no one saw her off. Just before dinner, she returned to her grandfather's house. When the grandmother saw the three of them coming back, she called her mother, Wang Xiulan, into the kitchen to cook.

After the old man came in, he immediately started to clean his bicycle. He thought that his memory was not good and he had to finish it quickly, otherwise he would forget it later.

The old lady ignored the old man and pulled Zhang Xingwang to ask about her little girl's situation.

Upon learning that everything was fine at his little girl's home, he burst into laughter, told his grandson to take a rest, and ran to the kitchen to watch Wang Xiu Lan cook.

The little girl looked at her brother and saw that there was finally no one around him, so she took the sack and asked her brother for pine nuts to eat.

The little girl, who had eaten it once, liked the taste of pine nuts very much. She ran over and handed the sack to Zhang Xingwang, asking her brother to make some for her.

Helpless Zhang Xingwang could only take the sack, took out a handful of pine nuts from the "sack" and handed it to the little girl.

Suddenly he felt someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw the old man holding a rag in the air. He seemed to be frozen in place, looking at him with a complicated expression, his mouth wide open, motionless.

Zhang Xingwang felt that the old man probably didn't see anything, so he very naturally took out another handful of pine nuts from his clothes pocket and handed them to the little girl. He signaled to the old man with his eyes that he was taking out the pine nuts from his clothes just to tease the little girl.

After watching Zhang Xingwang's performance, the old man nodded mechanically, turned around and slowly resumed his job of wiping the car.

His face was filled with helplessness, and he kept mumbling:

"Alas... I am dazzled again. I was fooled by such a simple trick just like my granddaughter. I can't deny my age..."

Zhang Xingwang ate the dishes made by his mother Wang Xiulan again in the evening. He looked at the three dishes on the table and began to comment on them.

While eating, he said, "This stir-fried pork with sauerkraut is still a little sour," and "The stir-fried potatoes with dried beans are a little salty," and his mother Wang Xiulan's teeth could be heard chattering.

After listening to the mother, the old lady gave a summary to the mother, pointed out various shortcomings, and asked Wang Xiulan to come more often when she had time. It was convenient to have a bicycle anyway, and she could teach Wang Xiulan more while her hands and feet were still nimble.

Seeing his mother's pleading eyes, Zhang Xingwang also said: "Grandma, my mother's cooking skills are pretty good."

Then, with the old mother's gratified eyes, he continued:

"My eldest sister and second sister are not as good as my mother in cooking, let alone my fourth sister."

The little girl also added:

"That's right, Fourth Sister's cooking is the worst."

After Zhang Xingwang finished speaking, he hurried out to smoke. As for what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about afterwards, Zhang Xingwang had no idea.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to the old grandmother who was reluctant to leave, the mother and her two children set out on their journey home at the urging of their mother Wang Xiulan.

The old lady looks more energetic day by day. Her complexion is getting better every time she comes over, and the old man is almost the same.

It's just that they seemed a little listless this time, probably because of running around in the past two days. Looking at the energetic old couple, Zhang Xingwang returned to the city with peace of mind.

The old couple watched the mother and her two children walk away. The old man quickly approached the old woman and kept demonstrating the movements of taking out a sack to her, without stopping talking for a long time.

He reported to the grandmother in detail about Zhang Xingwang's behavior of always taking out sacks in the past two days. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was startled all the time.

Finally, he told Zhang Xingwang's various statements and asked the old lady if she had noticed anything, or whether he was just completely old and confused.

The old lady looked at the old man who was turning around in circles anxiously, and said slowly:

"Let's not talk about whether it's true or not. Just tell me if this grandson really has this ability, is it good or bad? What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's a good thing, and what can I do, I...I..."

"That's fine, but old man, I didn't see our grandson do anything abnormal anyway."

The old lady paused for a moment, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then she said to the old man slowly:

"Don't think about it. It's probably because your eyes are blurry and you can't see well. Go back to your room and lie down.

Don't worry, even if you are old and confused, your grandson and I will not despise you. Your eyesight is not good now, so just don't say nonsense about what you saw..."

"Alas... I was fine in the first half of the year and was able to earn five or six work points. You say it's really not okay for people to refuse to accept aging..."
