Chapter 246: Grandma's Little Sisters]
Wu Qiuyan's eyes lit up, and she was dancing with her chopsticks so fast that she could hardly see the afterimage. She couldn't stop, absolutely couldn't stop, holding the white rice and the dishes and stuffing them into her mouth, eating so happily and seriously.
She had to taste it again for her little sisters, taste it more, to make sure, not to let them be disappointed.
Well, it was definitely not what she wanted to eat.
Wu Qiuyan picked up the dishes and ate them vigorously.
Qin Yian saw that grandma liked to eat it, so he brought the last stir-fried cucumber over and placed it in front of grandma for her to eat alone. It was rare that grandma had a good appetite and wanted to eat more, so the other children gave way to her.
After each of the children took a bite of the food with chopsticks, she reminded them, "The rest of the dish belongs to grandma. You kids can eat the other vegetables and meat."
"Okay!"
The children were very obedient. After eating the food in their bowls, they no longer cared about this dish and turned their attention to the beef brisket stewed with potatoes, which was more attractive to them. Grandma
popped her head out and smiled at Qin Yian. She continued to work hard without stopping, eating all the thoughtfulness of her granddaughter.
She hadn't eaten much in several days. This time, when she encountered such delicious dishes, the old lady ate four bowls of rice with the dishes. She wanted to eat another bowl, but was stopped by Xia Xiulan.
"Mom, it's almost time. If you eat more, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. You like to eat this vegetable. There are still a lot of them in the greenhouse. It happens that you have nothing to do recently, so you can stay here. We can pick another batch of vegetables in a few days. You don't have to worry about not having enough to eat here."
Qin Yian leaned over to Wu Qiuyan's ear and whispered:
"It's grandma, and what's more, you and grandpa will stay here to play for a few more days. I'll tell you secretly that there are more than one shed like this, there are six more, and there are vegetables that need to be matured in them. I will pick some and cook them for you to eat tomorrow. There are also beans and other vegetables over there. They are very delicious for stewing vermicelli and beef. Eat It’s better. All the minor colds and minor ailments on the body will heal quickly.”
Thanks to the Lingquan water, the vegetables in the greenhouse have shortened their growth cycle a little, and they grow faster. These ripe ones have been picked and new ones have grown out. There has been a steady supply of vegetables in the past few months, and there is no shortage of vegetables. There is enough to cook in various ways for grandma to eat.
When Wu Qiuyan heard that there were six more, her eyes widened and she looked at the shed over there in surprise.
There are six such large greenhouses. What a concept. How much food can be produced.
Wu Qiuyan was a little excited. She retracted her gaze and looked at the fried dishes. Several children were scrambling to eat. The younger ones didn't need to be coaxed or fed. They could join the battle and eat. The soup was poured into the bowl to soak the rice. She touched her 90% full stomach and put down her bowl and chopsticks without any reluctance. She didn't fight with the children for
food. "Okay, then you can live with grandpa for a few days. Let these children eat the remaining dishes. They will grow up."
The grandmother looked at the children of these grandchildren and great-grandchildren with a generous look.
"Take your time to eat. I won't fight with you. It's all yours. Don't worry. I'll give you all my portions."
They were so moved that they kept saying that their mother-in-law/grandmother was good to them. They worked harder to cook, which made their parents worry less and they ate happily.
Qin Yian smiled secretly. Grandma really knows how to coax children.
"Hey, I have to go for a walk to digest the food." Wu Qiuyan stood up with her waist supported and left the table.
She had to find time to bring her little sisters to the girl's house to taste the food. It was delicious. The food was good, the cooking was good, and the vegetables were freshly picked.
Hey, the little sisters were not far from here, so she would go and chat with them first.
Wu Qiuyan walked a few steps and came back to Qin Yian's ear and whispered: "Yian, grandma saw that you left some vegetables unfried, right? Can you give grandma some now? Grandma is going to visit an old friend nearby, let her taste some too."
Qin Yian put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Grandma, those are for my second uncle to take back for research. How about I accompany you to other places to pick some vegetables, and you can bring more over."
"Don't bother, it won't be that much. It won't be that much. Since it's for your second uncle's research, it's easy. I'll talk to your second uncle. Just take a cucumber. Don't worry about me and eat your meal seriously."
Since grandma said this, Qin Yian didn't insist. He nodded in agreement and took the bowl back in his hand.
"Okay, since it's close to here, you can wait a few days until the vegetables here are grown, and then you can send them over, or you can let the grandma over there come and pick out the vegetables she likes."
"That's great. If there's a chance, I'll bring your grandma Huo over. You can eat, and your grandpa and I will go for a walk."
Wu Qiuyan waved her hand. She liked this granddaughter more and more. She went to say hello to the second child, took a cucumber and a tomato, and followed her husband slowly to the old friend's house. The old friend also lived in Shichahai, only a few steps away, and they would be there in about ten minutes.
"Old Huo, look what good things I brought you."
Before he even entered the house, his hearty laughter had already been heard by the people inside. The old man sitting in the yard smiled after hearing the sound and ran briskly to the door to open it.
"Yanzi, how come you have time to come to my place today? Isn't today the engagement party for your little granddaughter and the boy from the Lu family? Why aren't you at home with your in-laws? Old Xia is here too."
Mrs. Huo saw the people following behind and greeted them, calling her husband in the house: "Old Gu, come out quickly, Old Xia is here."
"Old Xia? Here, here!" A spirited voice came out from the house, pulling people to play chess, "I caught you today, I must beat you."
"Haha, okay, then I'll let you win half a piece." Old Master Xia laughed heartily and followed his old friend into the house.
Mrs. Huo didn't care what the male comrades were doing, she took Wu Qiuyan's hand and went into the stone pavilion in the yard to sit and chat.
"Tell me, why are you here now? Did you quarrel with Mr. Lu again? Are you here to have some free time?" Mrs. Huo asked jokingly while pouring tea for her.
"Today is the wedding day of my grandson and his grandson. Who quarreled with him? He took the initiative to come to me to apologize and we have temporarily reconciled."
Wu Qiuyan waved her hands: "Let's not talk about him. I'm here to give you wedding candy. It just so happens that I'm not far away. I ate too much and I want to digest it. So I'm here to play for a while."
She first took out the full bag of wedding candy in her pocket and put it on the table, then took out the dishes hidden behind her and walked over with a smile like she was presenting a treasure.
"Guess what's in the bag?"
