Chapter 335 The Habits of the Elderly

Early the next morning, Zhang Chi woke up.

Turning her head to look at Melika next to her, she found that she was still sleeping soundly, so she carefully got up from the bed and walked to the outside cloakroom.

It was the first time to have such a large cloakroom, Zhang Chi was still a little unaccustomed to it, and there were not many new things brought in, so he picked out a piece of clothing and put it on.

When I came downstairs, I saw that the door of the room where the uncle and aunt lived last night was wide open.

Walking to the door and looking inside, I found that the things on the bed were neatly folded, and I knew that I had already got up.

So Zhang Chi went to the door.

I didn't feel anything when I was in the house, but when I came out, I found it was drizzling outside.

The rain was not heavy, and there was no need for a poncho. Zhang Chi originally thought that his uncle and his aunt were outside on the porch or on the terrace, but he stood at the door and looked around, but he didn't find them.

Just wondering where the two of them had gone, when he turned his gaze, he suddenly found that the guy Moji was squatting outside the small fruit forest, looking out.

Seeing the appearance of the ink, Zhang Chi guessed where his uncle and aunt were, so he turned his legs and walked towards the small fruit forest he planted casually.

When I got outside the forest, I really heard the conversation between the uncle and the aunt inside.

"Don't cut that branch, how many times have I told you, don't cut the branch with good fruit, don't cut it, you just don't listen, the old guy is very stubborn...".

Aunt Gu Ying was admonishing her uncle.

Zhang Youliang said straightforwardly: "What kind of good branch is this? It's completely bad. I still can't tell the difference between the good and the bad? You're always looking for trouble, or you can do it yourself?"

Then Zhang Chi heard the click of scissors.

Zhang Chi wanted to laugh when he heard that, the old man and the old lady are together, always complaining and arguing like this.

Zhang Chi heard that if the old man and the old lady were like this every day, they would generally live longer. As for the petty quarrel between the uncle and the aunt, Zhang Chi felt that he would not live to be a hundred years old. I'm sorry for the cooperation between the two.

When I walked in, I saw that my uncle and my aunt were wearing raincoats. Zhang Chi had a lot of these raincoats here. They didn't buy them, but they were given by Brother Ma when he bought machinery. Yes, like paper towels, adult diapers, they are all returned goods.

They were all produced by the factory, but they were rejected for various reasons, and in the end they fell into his hands without knowing how, and then he sold most of them and gave away some that could not be sold.

The two raincoats are very cheap, transparent ones, the uncle wears a white one, and the auntie picked a pink one.

"Uncle, uncle."

Zhang Chi and the two greeted each other.

"Xiao Chi, are you awake?"

Seeing Zhang Chi approaching, the two immediately smiled and said something.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, it's still raining this early in the morning, what are you doing here to cut branches?" Zhang Chi said.

Aunt Gu Ying laughed and said, "We are getting old, so we can't sleep for long. Anyway, it's fine. Your uncle said that yesterday's branches haven't been cut yet, so I'll follow along and work together."

Zhang Youliang smiled and continued busy pruning.

"Your fruit tree has only been planted for one year. It looks like two or three years. The fruit is fruitful. Who would think it is a fruit tree for two or three years...Don't say it, you really picked up a piece of it. Well, what you plant grows, you see how this little fruit grows."

The uncle was very excited, pruning the branches while praising the fruit tree with Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said: "Uncle, auntie, don't cut it, come down and rest for a while, I will make breakfast right away."

"Let me make breakfast, and I'll teach you your skills." Uncle Zhang Youliang immediately put away the scissors and wanted to climb down the ladder.

While climbing, he asked: "By the way, what does Xiaomei want to eat? Let's come according to her taste and make what I want."

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "She doesn't eat meat. If everyone hadn't come last night, she wouldn't have stayed around the table. She only stayed like this for ten minutes, but she couldn't smell the meat."

"It's really different from others. It's a bad thing. People always vomit. But it's good for her. It's not as uncomfortable as vomiting. The child in her stomach is very good. It's here to repay kindness, not to seek revenge." Auntie Gu Ying laughed.

Zhang Chi followed with a smile.

"Has Xiaomei woke up? Go and ask her what she wants to eat." Zhang Youliang asked.

Zhang Chi said quickly: "No, she still has some sleep. She won't open her eyes until [-]:[-] or [-]:[-]. Let's eat ours first."

"Let's be more casual, what's in the house? Forget it, I'll go to the refrigerator to check."

Speaking of climbing down from the ladder, Zhang Youliang went to see what was in the refrigerator at his nephew's house so that he could cook for himself.

Zhang Chi wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Uncle and aunt treat him well, as if they were half sons. The old people are like this. They try to help the younger generation as much as possible. portion.

So Zhang Chi picked up the ladder and prepared to go back to the house with his uncle.

Zhang Youliang saw it and said: "Put the ladder here, I will use it after dinner."

"Is it okay if I don't cut it today? I will cut it myself," Zhang Chi said with a wry smile.

Zhang Youliang said: "What do you cut, do you know how to cut it, don't cut it like a dog, and destroy a good fruit tree, that's enough, don't talk too much."

So Zhang Chi had to put the ladder down again.

Back in the house, Zhang Youliang looked at the refrigerator, then thought for a while and said, "Why don't we mix it with pimple soup?"

Pimple soup?
You don’t know if you have eaten it or not. In fact, it is adding water to the flour, but the water should not be too much. Too much water will make the batter. For green vegetables, some people like to add bean sprouts and so on, add salt and monosodium glutamate, and they can be eaten after they are cooked.

Zhang Chi used to eat it when he was in his hometown, because the family situation was not very good at that time, so he only used noodles, which was full and economical, and he was almost a frequent customer of the stove in every household in the village.

"Yeah!"

Zhang Chi actually didn't really want to eat this thing, but when the uncle mentioned the pimple soup, his eyes were shining, which really made it impossible for Zhang Chi to say that I didn't want to eat it.

The aunt curled her lips after hearing this: "Didn't you eat enough of this thing when the family was poor? The next noodle is also better than this thing."

"Do you want to eat?" Zhang Youliang looked at his wife with a pleading look in his eyes.

Aunt Gu Ying saw it and said: "Eat what you want. I haven't eaten for a long time. I also want to eat a bowl, but don't make it too thick. It's good to eat one by one. The soup should be clear. Don't eat it." It's like a paste."

The uncle said happily: "No problem!"

So happy to start busy.

Zhang Chi is going to help.

Zhang Youliang pushed his nephew away: "Go and play!"

"Okay, don't stretch out your hand, he can do this small job, how old do you think your uncle is, and how young he is?" Gu Ying called his nephew over with a smile.

As soon as Gu Ying sat down, the ink came over.

Gu Ying started playing with Moji. From Zhang Chi’s point of view, what Moji enjoys is full of grandma’s love. After a while, Auntie Gu Ying’s address for Moji changed from Moji to Xiaoguai, the name of the little baby. A cheesy nickname for a class.

Then it sticks to the face and the head, which is called a busy job.

Zhang Chi was so busy that he couldn't stand it anymore, now he couldn't get involved in the cooking, and it seemed that Auntie didn't have much interest in chatting, so Zhang Chi had to go upstairs.

Before his daughter-in-law got up, Zhang Chi had no choice but to plunge into his study, sitting on a chair, touching and wiping it, and suddenly realized that he had a big house, but now he had nothing to do.

"Living in a big house is still free!"

Zhang Chi scratched his head, as if he didn't know what to say about it.

It’s okay to go online, Zhang Chi is not good at tweeting and the like, he never leaves too many personal things on the Internet, and he doesn’t use social media very often, even if he does use it, it’s just to keep in touch with relatives and friends , It is rare to talk about making friends with netizens to do tricks or something.

So Zhang Chi also felt a bit boring when surfing the Internet. He doesn't like to share his life with others, so he is naturally a character who is out of touch with the times, so not many people on the Internet pay attention to him.

After much deliberation, I might as well make a video with my family.

In the end, I dialed my mother's number, but my mother didn't answer at all. I called my sister, but my sister didn't answer it either. It seemed that everyone had suddenly made an appointment today.

After staying up for a while, I heard a sound at the door.

Turning my head, I found that my aunt had come to the door, ink was still standing at her feet, and the sneaky guy was still hiding his head behind the wall, acting like a thief at home.

"time to eat!"

"Auntie, it's okay to make the sound louder. The sound insulation effect of this room is very good. Melika can't hear the normal sound on your side, unless you shout at the top of your voice." Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Aunt Gu Ying laughed and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing Xiaomei."

"Okay, your uncle has finished the meal, let you go down and eat."

Zhang Chi nodded and followed his aunt downstairs.

When I arrived at the dining room downstairs, I found that the bowl had been set and the side dishes had been prepared. The chopsticks and spoons were placed on the side of the bowl. Zhang Chi could eat as long as he sat down.

"Why do I feel that once the two of you come, I will become a landlord and rich man. You don't even need me to hold chopsticks," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

"If someone like you is a landlord and Laocai, then the landlord and Laocai are too useless. Their enjoyment is not like this," Zhang Youliang said.

After hearing this, Gu Ying said, "It seems that you have seen Lao Cai, a former landlord."

"I haven't seen it, but I have seen it in the movie."

"The movies still kill people every day. How many murders have you seen in your life?"

The two started again.

Zhang Chi smiled and didn't answer the conversation. He lowered his head and sipped a bowl of pimple soup. He found that it was delicious and the salt taste was just right, and there was a whole poached egg in the soup.

The poached eggs are really well cooked, there is no egg on one side of the bowl, with the uncle's craftsmanship, the eggs must have been beaten in the soup pot, it is impossible to start another pot, and he has no spare time.

This is craftsmanship.
