Xu Qingzhi ignored him and let him perform a solo.
She turned around and walked to Grandpa, took the basket from him, and asked gently, "Grandpa, does your hand hurt? Let me see if it's hurt."
"Grandpa is fine." Xu Dongru spread out his hands obediently like a child.
Some parts of these baskets are quite sharp and can easily get scratched if you don't use them properly. Xu Qingzhi took a look and confirmed that grandpa's hand was fine, then took the basket into the house and put it away.
Xu Fuwen saw that his niece, who was always obedient and even a little introverted, suddenly changed her personality today. She looked a little angry and kept muttering to herself, "Qingzhi, you are a college student, you have to be civilized, understand? You can't just do it casually. This is a civilized society."
Xu Qingzhi patted the dust off his hands and said, "It's useless to talk about civilization to uncivilized people. It's like playing the lute to a cow. Can she understand?"
Fu Guiying stamped her feet in anger: "Fu Wen, this is your third brother's good daughter! You have been supporting his family for so many years, you are just raising an ungrateful person."
Xu Fuwen's face was filled with disappointment, and the corners of his mouth were shaking with anger. He could only say: "Qingzhi...how could you become so unreasonable now! You really have read so much that you have swallowed it!"
Xu Qingzhi's eyes turned cold. She really didn't like to hear these words. But considering that he was her second uncle, even though she had borrowed money from him at high interest, it was still a favor.
It would have been fine if she just listened to a few words and didn't take him seriously, but now she is taking advantage of him.
She has been in the world of immortal cultivation for more than 500 years. Without the constraints of the legal system, countless people who dared to pick a fight with her have died in her hands.
After she came back, she had been trying to control her increasingly murderous temper. She was of course good-tempered towards her family, and since she was planning to come back to live in retirement, she wanted to be a good person.
But if others don't ask her to be a good person, she doesn't mind being a bad person.
She said, "Uncle, whether I am reasonable or not has nothing to do with you. But if you make me unhappy, then it will have something to do with you."
Xu Fuwen's voice suddenly rose, "Why, do you still want to hit me?"
Before Xu Qingzhi could speak, Xu Dongru interrupted him, "Alright, go away, don't be an eyesore here. As long as I'm alive, if you dare to covet your third brother's business by such dishonest means, I will not only beat you, but also pick up a hoe and smash your store."
Xu Fuwen didn't think these methods were unfair. His wife was right. If they could make money, wouldn't it be better for brothers to make it together?
It would be embarrassing to ask my third brother directly. I'll go to my third brother's house to help him first and find out where he makes money. It's a win-win situation for everyone to make money together.
But seeing that his father was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, he was afraid that something bad might happen to him, so he grabbed his wife and left quickly.
Xu Qingzhi said, "Grandpa, if you want to beat up Second Uncle or smash the store, I'll help you. Don't do it. If you get hurt, you'll feel bad."
The old man saw that everyone had left, and then he looked at his granddaughter and angrily taught her a lesson: "You, you, a girl, why do you want to fight? Do you want to save your reputation? If your in-laws know that you are a fierce woman who even beats up your elders, who will want you? Don't fight with your elders in the future, understand?"
Xu Qingzhi murmured aggrievedly: "She cursed me badly, so she deserved to be beaten."
"You can't hit people, but Grandpa is different. He's 80 years old and the oldest in the family. If you hit him, then no one dares to say anything to him."
Xu Qingzhi said nothing.
The old man looked at her seriously, "Qingzhi, did you listen to Grandpa? You are not allowed to hit your elders."
The village values reputation the most. Hitting people is not a good thing, especially hitting elders. If this gets out, my granddaughter will be scolded behind her back.
"I know, I know, Grandpa." Xu Qingzhi responded.
Of course Xu Dongru knew that her granddaughter was protecting her, just like when she was a child.
When he was still young, he rented a piece of land to grow watermelons. He caught an old man stealing his watermelons. The old man got angry and punched him. He was also in a bad mood at that time, so he got into a fight with the man.
What can a child do? The old man screamed in pain and let go. He looked down and saw that it was a little girl. He was too embarrassed to do anything and she yelled for him to let go.
Xiao Qingzhi's mouth was drooling from biting, and he probably loosened his mouth because his teeth were sore. He put his hands on his waist, his round face puffed up with anger, and said angrily: "You stole the watermelons that my grandpa worked so hard to grow. You did not do the right thing, and you hit my grandpa, so I will bite you!"
When Xu Dongru thought of this, her eyes became moist and she couldn't bear to say another word to her granddaughter.
He touched the handkerchief and walked towards the door, his back to Qingzhi, wiping the corners of his eyes as he walked.
Xu Dongru sat back in the bamboo chair, picked up the honey chrysanthemum tea at her feet and took a sip.
It's not hot at all now, but it's still warm.
"It's strange, why does this honey chrysanthemum tea taste different from the honey tea I had last time?"
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Grandpa, the honey you drank before was given to you by someone else. This time you are using the jar I gave you. The taste must be different."
"Grandpa was just too lazy to boil water to make it before. This tastes good. It's so cold this year, so drinking it can warm you up."
"Yeah, I'll buy you a thermos cup when the time comes. You can soak in it, and it will always be hot when you pour it out."
"I don't want any thermos, don't buy it."
Xu Qingzhi remained silent, took out his cell phone, picked out a large-capacity, high-quality thermos cup, and placed an order.
She summarized today's orders and called her mother to tell her about them.
Then, she picked up the bamboo basket beside her and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to the back mountain to pick some mushrooms to eat."
The villagers don’t have the habit of going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. In the local dialect, all kinds of mushrooms are collectively called mushrooms, so mushrooms and fungi have the same meaning.
When Xu Dongru heard this, his face changed: "Many of those mushrooms are poisonous. Eating them will cause harm. We still have so many vegetables at home that we can eat."
"Grandpa, don't worry, I recognize it." Xu Qingzhi thought that the pine mushroom fried with bacon was so fragrant and delicious, and it went well with rice. Thinking that he saw a lot of them left last time, he went to pick some more to eat.
How could Xu Dongru not understand her granddaughter and knew that she wanted to eat mushrooms.
"Wait a moment." He went into the house, carrying a large bamboo basket and a long bamboo stick. "Grandpa will go with you. Grandpa knows which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi agreed happily.
The grandfather and grandson were fully equipped and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
After a severe drought, it rained for a long time and the mushrooms on the mountain broke through the ground.
Almost no one in the village picks mushrooms, which means that there are so many delicious mushrooms on the mountain but no one eats them.
Xu Qingzhi felt that it was such a waste, such a waste.
There are three updates, and there are two chapters left, which will be posted together at around 2 a.m. I caught a cold, and my body is hot and cold, and I have a cough and a dry throat. I'm sorry for the delay in writing.
