Wife participates in the program, and the identity of my countryman is exposed

Chapter 249
Soon, Zhou Tian and Luo Wen left Rongcheng and headed towards Haicheng.

In an instant, there were only Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue left in the family.

I just finished a video call with my eldest daughter, and the two of them saw that it was already afternoon.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Qin Hao asked.

Luo Qingxue leaned over gently, and asked: "Is Master Qin planning to cook for me?"

Qin Hao smiled: "Yes, then what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Luo Qingxue thought about it, and there was actually nothing special she wanted to eat, but since Qin Hao was cooking, of course she couldn't miss it.

"I can eat anything, as long as it is made by my dear husband, then I will like it." Luo Qingxue acted coquettishly, as long as Luo Qingxue acted coquettishly, Qin Hao would always agree.

Qin Hao thought for a while, and said to Luo Qingxue: "Then let me make some home-cooked dishes for you today, okay?"

"Okay!" Luo Qingxue happily agreed, as long as it was made by Qin Hao, she would like it.

The two of them got bored at home for a while and then went out to do some shopping.

Compared with the supermarket, the vegetable market is actually a better choice. Go out from their door and turn right and there is a very, very large vegetable market.

There are basically all kinds of vegetables in that vegetable market, and they are very fresh. In addition to the special vegetable stalls, there are also many vegetable farmers who set up their own stalls to sell vegetables.

Qin Hao took Luo Qingxue's hand and walked slowly in the vegetable market. The two of them were choosing the ingredients to eat tonight.

Qin Hao was thinking in his heart, since Zhou Tian is not here today, he and Luo Qingxue only need to cook meals for him and Luo Qingxue, so he must not buy too much food, too much is easy to waste.

After some calculation, it is enough for two people to make four dishes and one soup.

First of all, the first dish Qin Hao wants to cook is very simple, that is stewed ribs soup.

In this season, using winter melon and bringing a meal of spare ribs is very healthy, and it is very helpful for Luo Qingxue and people like him who often stay up late.

There are also many stalls selling pork. The bosses in this vegetable market are very kind. Even if you only buy a rib, you can also choose to let the chef cut it into small pieces for you. When you go back, you can directly blanch it and wash it before stewing.

Qin Hao compared the prices of several companies, and finally chose to buy from the middle one. The price of his house was two yuan cheaper than the other two. Moreover, Qin Hao weighed the ribs, and it was very good, not too expensive. There is a shortage of weight.

After buying the ribs, I need to buy some side dishes. Washed winter melon and kelp have been washed, and even the portions have been matched. After returning home, just wash it and put it in the pot.

After the first course was ready, Qin Hao looked at the vegetable market to see what to do with the second course.

At this time, I happened to see that the chicken wings were on sale at the butcher shop next to me. In the past, I could only buy six at this price, but now I could buy eight at this price.

Qin Hao felt that his heart was not as good as his heart, so he quickly bought it.

"Do you want cola chicken wings or braised chicken wings?" Qin Hao held the chicken wings he just bought and asked Luo Qingxue beside him.

Luo Qingxue raised her head, thought for a while, and said, "I want to eat Orleans' grilled chicken wings."

Qin Hao wanted to say that what he was given just now was a multiple-choice question, not a fill-in-the-blank question, but since Luo Qingxue said she wanted to eat, it was natural to satisfy Luo Qingxue's request. Qin Hao came to the shelf and found the package Orleans' Grilled Chicken Wing Meal.

Fortunately, there is still an oven at home, Qin Hao thought, otherwise he would have to buy another oven today.

With chicken wings, there are only three dishes left.

There are also a lot of people in the vegetable market, probably because of the weekend, there are more people at this time.

Looking at the vegetables in other people's hands, Qin Hao looked for inspiration, to see if he could follow suit and buy some vegetables to go home.

After watching for a long time, I didn't see any results.

So he went to a fish shop according to Luo Qingxue's preference, picked out an extremely beautiful silver carp, and planned to make a pickled fish.

After buying the fish, it is natural to have some sauerkraut. There is a shop next to the fish shop that specializes in selling sauerkraut. The scenes of making sauerkraut in their house are clearly visible, and there will never be any mess or mishaps. qualifying situation.

Qin Hao was thinking about what to do with the remaining two dishes. At this moment, Luo Qingxue suddenly saw an old man selling vegetables at a stall outside. It seemed that the old man was already very old this year, and his hair was already gray. There are marks on the face.

"Why don't we have fried vegetables tonight." Luo Qingxue looked at the pile of vegetables in front of the grandmother, and asked Qin Hao for his opinion.

Qin Hao naturally doesn't care, no matter what to eat, as long as there is something to eat.And Qin Hao also felt that it was not easy for this old man.

Although many elderly people come out to sell vegetables, it is not because they are struggling at home, but because they simply cannot be free and want to find something to do.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some elderly people have a really difficult life and need to sell vegetables for a living.

Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue walked over.

"How do grandma sell these green vegetables?" Qin Hao asked.

"Five dollars." The old lady gestured while talking,

"Five yuan a catty?" Qin Hao asked suspiciously.

The old man immediately said: "It's not a catty, this pile is five yuan in total."

Qin Hao was very surprised. Normally, such vegetables cost 2 yuan a catty in the market. The pile of vegetables in front of him already weighed at least seven or eight catties. How could it be so cheap?
Seeing that Qin Hao was very puzzled, the old man said to Qin Hao: "If we sell more expensive than the vegetable market, no one will really buy it."

Qin Hao felt very guilty, he didn’t think of such a simple reason, also, after all, if you sell vegetables in the vegetable market, you must pay the rent of the booth, and these elderly people can’t afford the rent, so they have no choice but to pay outside. It's a small stall, but if it's too expensive, it won't be sold.

"Grandma, how much money do you make a day selling vegetables here?" Luo Qingxue asked curiously.

The old lady was also very enthusiastic and liked to talk to people, so she said, "Maybe it can be sold for five or six yuan a day."

Although Qin Hao knew that the elderly didn't make money selling a la carte, he didn't expect that they didn't make any money.

Luo Qingxue was also surprised, she looked at Qin Hao in shock, neither of them knew what to say.

"Then help me pretend all these." Qin Hao said to the old woman.

The old grandma hurriedly said: "Oh boy, can you two finish eating? Don't worry that I can't sell it all. I'll sell it for a while, and I can sell more or less."

"Grandma, don't worry, there are more than the two of us in our family, we will eat together, and it will be over soon." Luo Qingxue quickly explained.

The old grandma felt relieved.

"You two are good boys. Grandma wants to invite you two to have a meal at home. Do you think it's okay?" the old grandma asked.

Qin Hao didn't know how to answer, because he had already bought the vegetables, and he had promised Luo Qingxue to cook for Luo Qingxue, so he didn't know whether he should agree to the old grandma's invitation.

Luo Qingxue didn't think too much, and agreed immediately.

Qin Hao asked quietly, what about the vegetables he bought, Luo Qingxue smiled, and asked him to bring him to grandma's house to eat together.

Qin Hao felt that this was also a good idea, so the two readily agreed.

Grandma said that the place where she lived was not far from the place where the vegetables were sold, so the three of them walked back. Qin Hao helped grandma carry the small back basket, carrying scales and other things to take home.

In fact, for Qin Hao, this weight is negligible, but Qin Hao feels that this weight should not be easy for the elderly, after all, there is still a big basket full of vegetables when he comes in the morning.

The two of them followed grandma and walked towards home. The more they walked, the more remote it became. This place was lonely, and there were no other people or other houses.

Only grandma's family lives here. It is said to be a house, but it is actually more like a model room on a construction site.

The electricity was turned on immediately. Although it looked dilapidated from the outside, it was cleaned inside. It can be seen that although the old man usually lives in poverty, he loves cleanliness very much.

"Here, it's a good place. When I found it, the people on the construction site had just moved out. It was supposed to be demolished, but they saw that my wife was pitiful alone, so they left it to me, and kept it. Power on, what a group of good people.”

Grandma praised the group of people who helped her.

Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue discovered that this place is indeed very small, basically there is no furniture inside, there is only a bed that comes with the construction site, except for the bed, the other tables and benches are all old, it seems that they are picked up by old people here.

But the pots and pans in the kitchen are very clean, and it looks like the old man bought it himself.

The old man was embarrassed to use the ingredients that Qin Hao and the others brought, no matter how much Qin Hao persuaded him, he refused to accept it.

The old man cooked two servings of noodles for Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue, and specially added eggs for both of them, but not for himself.

This made Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue very embarrassed, but they couldn't resist the old lady's kindness, so they still accepted it.

Qin Hao felt that this was the most meaningful bowl of noodles he had ever eaten, and the old man was smiling all the time, like an elder in the family.

After eating, Luo Qingxue helped grandma wash the dishes, and the three of them sat in the yard to enjoy the shade.

This yard was also cultivated by the old man himself. From the barrenness at the beginning, it has grown lush vegetables now, and grandma feels very relieved.

Looking at the full achievements, the old man sighed: "I don't know how long this kind of life can last."

Qin Hao asked suspiciously why grandma said that.

Grandma said sadly: "This land will be taken back sooner or later, and I have to leave here. In fact, I am quite reluctant to part with this place, after all, it gave me a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Qin Hao felt sad for a while, he suddenly thought of where did the old lady live before she came to this construction site?Is it just wandering aimlessly?

The old lady nodded: "Actually, life is not that hard. Usually I can pick up some bottles and jars, and I can make some money by selling them. Now I can save some money by selling vegetables."

Qin Hao and Luo Qingxue felt sad for a while, the price of goods is so high now, the few dollars the old man saves every day can't live at all.

The old lady didn't care, but comforted the two of them: "Don't be sad because of the old lady, I'm usually very free, no matter how I have hands and feet, how can I still be hungry?"

The old lady smiled very happily, and after the three chatted for a while, Qin Hao and the others left.

The meat was not placed at grandma's place either, she had no refrigerator here, and there was no way to store meat at all.

Back home, both of them were silent.

I don't know what to do, there are so many poor old people in the world, they can't help everyone.

But this old grandma was right in front of their eyes, a living example, and the two of them couldn't sit idly by.

Luo Qingxue sighed, and sat in the garden in a daze. Looking at these bright flowers, Luo Qingxue couldn't feel happy at all.

In fact, isn't Qin Hao in the same mood?But after all, this is an old man, not some abandoned cat or dog, so how could it be so easy to take on such a responsibility?
The two of them lay on the bed with their own concerns at night.

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed outside, followed by bursts of thunder.

"Is it going to rain?" Luo Qingxue asked.

"It should be. The weather forecast said that there will be thunderstorms tonight." Qin Hao answered lightly.

Luo Qingxue looked at the lightning outside, and suddenly sat up.

"Husband! When we went to grandma's house for dinner today, did her prefabricated house have cracks and holes? I remember that I was still worried about the rainy weather!" Luo Qingxue said hastily.

After all, the rain tonight was not light rain. The weather forecast said it would be a thunderstorm. If it rained, there would be no way to sleep in the old lady's room.

Qin Hao also reacted, and immediately jumped off the bed, and the two began to put on their clothes and ran outside.

Before Zhou Tian went to Haicheng, he parked the car in the garage and left the key to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao drove towards the direction of the grandmother's house, both of them were very worried.

At this time, it was already raining, Luo Qingxue held an umbrella and walked towards the model house with Qin Hao in the middle of the construction site.

In order to save money, the grandmother basically never turned on the lights. At this time, the inside of the model house was pitch black.

"grandmother?"

Thunder bursts in the sky, Luo Qingxue couldn't hear the old lady's reply, so Luo Qingxue hastily turned on the flashlight of her phone.

Only then did I realize that there was no one on the bed at all, and the old grandma spread a haystack on the corner of the wall by herself with the quilt in her arms, and fell asleep there.
