Chapter 29 Mrs. Zhou

"We've brought you pork." Zhou Shitang pointed to the thing in Zhou Shimu's hand.

Zhou Shimu had brought the pork and celery herbs when he was at home, so Zhou Shitang came over empty-handed.

"Pork is rare, you leave some for my mother to fry for grandma to eat, and take the rest back." Zhou Mingyi saw the package in Zhou Shimu's hand and guessed that there was a lot of meat, "Second uncle and second aunt have the hardest work. Let them eat more.”

After Zhou Mingyi finished speaking, he greeted them with a smile, "Let's go in with me. Grandma will be very happy to see you."

Zhou Shimu directly stuffed the pork into Zhou Mingyi's hand, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "Brother, take it, one family does not speak the same language."

Zhou Mingyi held the barrel in his right hand, and a packet of pork was stuffed directly into his left hand by Zhou Shimu.

He raised his eyes, met Zhou Shi Mu's gaze, and swallowed all the words that came to his lips instantly, "Okay, I'll accept it. You go and see grandma. I'll pour the water into the water tank first."

Zhou Shitang: "There's still some celery in it, so just make do with it. There's also some medicinal materials. I'll explain how to eat it later. I'm going to see my grandmother first."

Zhou Mingyi nodded.

There are also two thatched houses here, but the environment looks better. At least there are fences, and it is not so dilapidated and desolate.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu walked in.

Mrs. Zhou was sitting in front of the house. Her clothes were shabby but clean, her hair was neatly combed, and she exuded a tenacious and upward aura.

She lowered her head, holding the kitchen knife in both hands, sharpening it.

Quick action.

It seems like it has been grinding for many years.

Zhou Shitang trotted over and was about to call out to his grandmother, but he shut up when he saw her sharpening a kitchen knife to avoid scaring her grandmother and injuring her hand.

Then she is a sinner.

She slowed down, walked slowly over, knelt down beside him, and quietly watched Mrs. Zhou sharpen her kitchen knife.

Zhou Shimu walked over without saying a word.

Mrs. Zhou felt someone standing next to her. She stopped sharpening her knife and slowly raised her head. She saw her second grandson and third granddaughter. Her old eyes instantly shined with a gleam of light. Her tone was kind, "Mu Mu, Tangtang, you guys?" Coming."

"Well, grandma, we are here." Zhou Shitang held Mrs. Zhou's hands and transferred the heat from his palms.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and held Zhou Shitang's hand, "Good Tangtang, our Tangtang is the best."

Zhou Shimu squatted down, picked up the kitchen knife and began to sharpen it.

He just saw how Mrs. Zhou sharpened it, and he probably knew how to sharpen it.

When you come to a strange environment, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Everything you don't know, just learn it slowly.

This was his first time sharpening a kitchen knife, and his movements were clumsy but serious.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile after seeing it, "You guys look quite like me back then."

"He is not afraid of things and can take on tasks. He is very good and worthy of praise."

Zhou Shitang has never met Mrs. Zhou's natal family, and has never heard her mention her past events. When she heard her mention it now, she asked curiously: "Grandma, what were you like before?"

"Tell us about it." Zhou Shitang gently shook Mrs. Zhou's hand, acting coquettishly, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Zhou Shimu also stopped and listened.

Mrs. Zhou smiled helplessly, "I grew up in the capital when I was a child. When I was your age, my family was exiled to Mobei."

At that time she felt like the sky was falling.

Even after so many years, she still clearly remembers the mood at that time.

Fear, fear, confusion.

Many of her family members died on the way to exile.When we got to Mobei, there were only a few people left.

Even worse than now.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were slightly moist, and she continued: "I was scared at first, but then I tried to accept it. I was released without charge soon after, but we couldn't go back, so we settled in Mobei."

"Then I met your grandfather and gave birth to several children. Your father is very smart. He can remember the things I teach him once I tell him."

"He was also very good. He won the first prize in the exam and took me back to his hometown. It's a pity that your grandfather did not live long and could not wait for that day."

Zhou Shitang listened carefully and was silent for a long time after listening.

She did not expect that her grandmother was also exiled once when she was young.

Now that I am old, I have to go through another exile.

Displaced.

Dad said that he was able to get the top prize because his grandmother taught him well.

My grandmother used to be the daughter of a wealthy family.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were calm and bright, and she looked very friendly. "What I want to tell you is, don't be afraid, and don't be immersed in the glamorous life of the past."

"We have come to Lingnan, so we should live well here. Survival is the most important thing."

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu nodded at the same time.

Mrs. Zhou smiled lovingly and said, "You are all smart, like me."

Zhou Shitang couldn't help but laugh, "Of course we look like grandmothers."

"Grandma, don't be afraid, we will live well." Zhou Shitang comforted.

The grandfather and grandson said a few words, and then Mrs. Zhou started to chase people away, "You haven't eaten yet, so go back quickly. It's getting dark soon, so hurry up and hurry up."

They will definitely not stay for dinner, so they should go back early to avoid any danger if they are late.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu had no choice but to say goodbye to her.

The two of them got up and went to greet Aunt Li outside the kitchen, "Auntie, let's go back first. Remember to cook the pork until it's tender. Grandma's teeth are not very good."

Li Shi raised a smile and nodded, "If you go back so soon, I won't leave you to eat. Go back as soon as it's still dark."

Zhou Shitang told her how to make the decoction, and finally said: "Grandma asked my aunt to take care of her. We will come here often."

Ms. Li nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her."

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu turned around and left, and met their eldest sister Zhou Rushan at the door.

Zhou Shitang: "Big sister."

Zhou Shimu: "Big sister."

Zhou Rushan had no expression on his face, nodded at the two of them and walked into the house.

Zhou Mingyi came out and saw Zhou Rushan's behavior, glared at her, and then walked to Zhou Shitang, "I will take you back."

"No, if you send us back, we will send you back, so don't send us here." Zhou Shitang shook his head.

She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother, I found a craftsman. You and the second and third brothers can learn from it when you have time."

"Teaching one is teaching, teaching three is teaching."

Zhou Mingyi was stunned, then shook his head, "No, I won't learn. If I learn, you will owe others another favor. The second and third brothers can just learn."

He was very grateful that Sanmei could think of him, but he didn't want Sanmei to owe others a favor or exchange for anything else for him.

Zhou Shitang thought for a moment. She was not sure whether Uncle Zeng was still willing to teach them. She would come over and talk to her elder brother after asking Uncle Zeng.
