Grandma fetched water, put it on the basin stand and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, I will calculate the time and prepare the meal, and I will wait for you to go home to eat."

Xia Qing wiped the soap on herself, then handed it to me.After grandma entered the kitchen, she whispered, "Our family's conditions are not good, so we don't have anything to entertain you. No matter what kind of food grandma cooks, you should eat more, don't be picky, hear?"

I raised my eyelids and looked at her: "Are you inviting me to dinner, or are you ordering me to eat?"

"It's all." Xia Qing said, "Grandma will be happy only if you eat more."

I glanced at their living room and nodded.Aunt Xue next door 42

After washing her hands, Xia Qing said, "You take the water to the sewer at the other end, and I'll help serve the dishes."

I was holding the water, feeling a little uncomfortable.Why did she treat me much tougher as soon as I arrived at her house.We're just classmates, and we're not boyfriend and girlfriend, so how dare you bully me around?

When my grandma saw me go back to the house, she hurried up to take the water basin. The old man said very sorry, "I picked you up for dinner, and asked you to do this and that. Hurry up and eat at the table."

I took a look at the table, and it was quite rich.There are six dishes including fried lean meat, mapo tofu, three delicacies soup, a tail of fried fish, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.I tasted them one by one, and I didn't expect my grandma's craftsmanship to be so good, and every dish was very delicious.

I couldn't help asking: "Grandma, you used to be a chef, right? The cooking is so delicious."

The grandmother said with a smile: "When I was young, I worked as a helper in the government canteen for several years. I learned all the cooking skills from the master chef."

Xia Qing interjected, "When my grandmother was young, she was the director of the District Cultural Revolution Committee."

"Director of the Cultural Revolution Committee...hehe." I said haha, isn't the Cultural Revolution Committee an organization that punished people during the Cultural Revolution?But grandma doesn't look like a bad person, does she?I was just thinking about it in my heart, not daring to bring up the doubts in my heart.

"Don't think that your family is the only one who is an official." Xia Qing said with unconvinced arrogance.

"This child, it's useless to say something." Grandma said with a smile.

I made a piece of mapo tofu for Xia Qing: "I was wrong, I was wrong. You have such a sharp mouth, eat more to get angry."

Xia Qing took it down in one gulp, smiled happily and said, "This is my favorite."

I thought to myself, luckily my grandma made a plate of mapo tofu, otherwise the two of us would have to continue arguing.

After Zhou Zhou finished eating, Xia Qing was called away by a girl in the same hospital, saying that she was looking for her to help, and she would be back in about ten minutes.It was impossible for me to follow, and I was too embarrassed to leave as soon as I finished eating.So I sat on the small bench and chatted with my grandma.

Grandma asked about my family situation, and then told me about Xia Qing's family.

Grandma has a daughter and a son.The daughter is Xia Qing's mother.Xia Qing's mother is a very beautiful woman, everyone says Xia Qing looks like her.Unfortunately, Xia's mother passed away due to illness when Xia Qing was four years old.Two years later, Xia's father married another woman with a child.Later, the father and the woman gave birth to another daughter.

Because Xia Qing is the eldest child in the family and has a future mother, life at home is very difficult.At first, Papa Xia would still protect her.But the stepmother is a very powerful woman, and she is basically the master of the family.Later, when the family had more children, Xia's father worked very hard to support the family, so he couldn't take care of Xia Qing.Because of the stepmother's teaching and sowing dissension, her younger brother and younger sister excluded her.She can be said to have no place at home.Pocket money has never been her share.

Grandma visited Xia Qing several times, and finally gritted her teeth and brought her here.Grandma has a retirement salary, so if she is more frugal, it is enough for two people to live.

Xia Qing was unwilling to come here because she knew that her grandmother lived in poverty.Not only can I not do anything for grandma, but it will only increase grandma's burden.Although it was aggrieved in that family, at least she could go to school. She always thought that as long as she was admitted to a good university in the future, all the bad things and bad things would pass.Aunt Xue next door 42

After learning about grandma's idea of ​​taking Xia Qing away, the stepmother agreed very much, and vented her anger on her in order to make Xia Qing leave the house on her own initiative.She even encouraged Papa Xia to support her idea.

On the day grandma went to pick up Xia Qing, we chatted together for a long time.Complaining, pouring out one after another.Xia Qing saw that she had no other choice, so she had to come to the small town with her grandmother in tears.Xia's father gave her 500 yuan, which was regarded as the tuition fee for transferring to another school.

After the grandma finished speaking, she sighed a long time: "Xia Qing is a poor child. I don't expect her to be very successful in the future. The biggest hope is that when she grows up, she can marry a good husband."

I didn't expect that grandma thought so far away.He said with a dry smile, "Don't worry, Xia Qing is so smart and beautiful. There will definitely be many boys chasing her in the future."

Grandma waved her hand: "That's not good. Those boys in society are not serious people. They have to be like you, polite and well-behaved, and born in a decent family. I think it's suitable."

"Grandma..."" I don't know what to say. It sounds like grandma is going to betroth Xia Qing to me.

Grandma smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Grandma is using an analogy. You are still young, study hard, and falling in love is something you will do when you grow up."
