Chapter 28 The Village Chief's Call

"Grandma, I'm back." It was already dark, and when I returned home, I saw Grandma embroidering under the oil lamp.I have missed my grandma for a long time, and I am very happy and relieved to see her.

"Jun'er, you're back. Hey, hey, hey, your face is tanned. Put down your things, you're exhausted. Come, drink some brown sugar water." Grandma narrowed her eyes happily when she saw me come back There was a gap, and I hurriedly made a bowl of brown sugar water for me.

In this day and age, drinking brown sugar water is really a luxury. There is such a shortage of supplies that even the stomach can't be filled. Being able to drink this kind of thing is a great happiness.

"Grandma, drink it yourself, I'm not thirsty." I dare not drink it, since grandma is so old, it should be left for her to drink by herself.

"Are you Grandma's good grandson?" Grandma was upset.

"Of course it is, I am grandma's grandson." I said to grandma with a smile.

"If it's my grandson, don't you have to listen to Grandma?"

"Come on, listen to grandma and drink this bowl of brown sugar water." Grandma brought it over and put it in my hand.

I was afraid that my grandma would be angry again, so I picked up the bowl and drank it up with a gulp. Ah, it's so sweet, and my grandma's care for me is so sweet. I am grateful to my grandma from the bottom of my heart, and I hope my grandma can live a long life. Then I will have the ability to honor her elderly.

"I just want to listen to grandma like this. What a good boy. Well, I'll cook for you." Grandma's face bloomed with a smile.

At this time, tears of gratitude flowed from my face. In such a far place, there are so many people who care about me and love me, especially grandma, who treats me as well as my mother. I am really grateful. Lucky, very happy.

The sound of grandma chopping vegetables and cooking came from the kitchen. In fact, only a few dishes are fried. The rice here is steamed in a steamer, which is enough for three meals a day. If it is too hard at night, add some to the pot Just heat the water, it's easy.

"Grandma, have you made New Year's embroidery for yourself so early?" I put down the bowl, and after drinking the sweet brown sugar water, my face became rosy and I felt refreshed.In which basket there are many silk threads that have not been embroidered.

"I'm embroidering dowry." Grandma pointed to the beautiful semi-finished product, and she could already see the prototype of the dragon and phoenix play bead.

"Who is going to get married?" I asked curiously.

"It's Axiu, and we're going to get married in three months. What a wonderful girl, she finally found her husband's family." Grandma picked up the unfinished embroidery and continued to embroider, very seriously, but fortunately she had reading glasses Yes, otherwise grandma would not be able to see the needlework.

Sister Axiu has found her husband's family, I am really happy for him.But who is the groom?

When I was about to ask my grandma, a bald man walked in and said, "It smells so good, grandma, what delicious food are you doing?"

"It's a little bald man. It's nothing. It's just a few pieces of braised pork. It was sent by Axiu. He is really a good boy, and good people are rewarded with good rewards. Have you eaten yet?" Grandma said hello when she saw the bald man coming in.

"I've eaten it. My wife's cooking skills are not as good as my grandma's. She looks like she's been eaten by a pig. She has no appetite." The bald man's eyes were fixed on the bowl of braised pork, greedy. The saliva will come out.

"Do you want to eat? Then take a piece and eat it." Seeing his greediness, Grandma asked him to eat a piece.

I don't like the bald head being so gluttonous, so I gave him a vicious look.

The bald man saw that I was not happy, so he said: "Don't eat it, you should eat it." Although he said he wouldn't eat it, his dirty hands had already reached into the bowl, picked up the two largest pieces, and put them in the bowl. mouth.

"It's so hot, it's so hot, my tongue is about to rot. Oh, I'm scalding to death, I'm scalding to death!" The bald man asked for trouble, and dared to grab it into his mouth as soon as he started the pot, damn it.

Both my grandma and I laughed "ha, ha, ha".

The bald man didn't spit it out, but swallowed it in a lump, his eyes still fixed on the bowl.

I picked up the bowl, handed it to my grandma and said, "Don't let this kind of person eat it, just hide it quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'll only feed Jun'er alone." Grandma smiled and took the braised pork away, not giving it to Baldhead anymore.

Seeing this, the bald man could only stare dryly, but his tongue still licked the oil around his mouth, he was still not satisfied and wanted to eat.

"If you want to eat it home, ask your wife to make it for you. Grandma wants to eat it herself. Don't make such a crooked idea." I said angrily.

The bald man blushed and said: "If you don't eat, you don't eat. Tomorrow I will go to the market to cut some meat to satisfy my hunger. Oh, I almost forgot, the village chief asked you to come over, I have something to ask you, go quickly .”

"Why did he call me? It's late at night, so I haven't eaten yet." In fact, I drank brown sugar water just now, so I'm not very hungry.

"It must be because of something important that I should inform you. It's up to you whether to go or not. Anyway, I have notified you. If you really don't go, the village chief can't blame me." Baldhead saw that I didn't like him very much, and said After finishing, he left angrily.

"If you don't go, you won't go, what else can he do to me?" I snorted at the back of the bald man.

"Jun'er, the village head called you, then go, come back early for dinner, I'll warm it up for you first." Grandma is very active in the village head's call.

"Yes, I'll wash my face first, and I'll go right away." I said to my grandma, picked up the washbasin, and fetched water to wash my face.After washing my face, I looked in the mirror, and sure enough, my face was quite tanned.

"Would you like to rub it with clam oil?" Grandma looked at me dumbfounded, and took out a clam, which is usually used by women to wipe their faces.

"No, I'm not a woman, why use this thing." I said this in my mouth, but I really wanted it in my heart.But I'm afraid people will laugh at me. If I'm at home, I often use it to wipe my face. Why would my skin be so white? It's just that I got tanned a little during this time, which is very distressing.But compared to others, I am still more handsome, not bragging.

I didn't have time to eat, so I went to the village chief's office.

Walking in the dark night, the road is not easy to walk. Fortunately, I took a flashlight, and I am not afraid if I have him.Brother Pao used to tell me ghost stories all the time, but now that I think about it, I’m really a little scared.
