Chapter 319: Wanton



She rode her tricycle straight into the yard.

It was pitch black outside the yard, and only the dim light in the main room could be seen through the gap in the old wooden door.

The house on the right that Wensran rented is still rented, but no one lives there. When they were there, Grandpa would always leave a light on the porch. Now that everyone is gone, he doesn't leave it on anymore to save some electricity.

When Xu Qingzhi got off the tricycle carrying the lunch box and corn, the old wooden door creaked open halfway.

When grandpa saw the person coming, he smiled widely and wiped his mouth which was a little greasy from eating something.

"Qingzhi, why are you here?"

Xu Qingzhi raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "I'm bringing you food."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a bowl of rice tofu on the table. There was some oil and red pepper powder in the bowl, and it was hot. This is how rice tofu is eaten in Meicheng. Most people eat it for breakfast occasionally.

The old man was afraid that his granddaughter might have some thoughts, so he kept explaining to himself: "Well, I just felt hungry all of a sudden, so I made some rice tofu for myself. Your uncle brought it fresh this morning."

Xu Qingzhi knew very well that Grandpa was just hungry, so he cooked for himself.

She put the lunch box on the table, opened it layer by layer, and placed it on the table. "There are many dishes today. The duck meat that mom made today was too spicy, so I didn't give you any. I picked a chicken leg from the chicken soup, and there are also egg tofu, ribs, fish, and some vegetables."

She took the plastic bag of corn in her hand and put it in the kitchen, saying, "I put the corn here for you. We broke the corn and made some corn buns at home today. I only brought you one because I was afraid you might have trouble digesting it if you ate too much tonight."

The old man was deeply moved. He sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and his nose felt sore.

Xu Qingzhi saw him wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, "What's wrong? Grandpa."

"It's okay, Grandpa is just happy." The old man said leisurely, "When people get old, they will be like this when they are happy."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and patted his back, saying, "You said you were hungry, but you didn't even bother to call my dad to urge him. Did you think we wouldn't deliver food to you today and you felt bad?"

"No." The old man denied hastily.

Xu Qingzhi snorted. Sometimes, old people become like children as they get older.

She coaxed him in a calm tone, "I'm not going to forget to bring you food. It's just that someone came over and we had dinner a little late, so the food was delivered late. I asked Dad to call you in advance to let you know. If you're hungry or have anything, you can also call Dad to tell him. Otherwise, what's the point of buying this phone?"

The old man sighed, "I know someone is coming to record the TV at home, but you are busy, so I won't call you and cause trouble."

Xu Qingzhi: "Didn't I teach you how to send WeChat messages? Why didn't you send one to me?"

The old man remained silent.

Xu Qingzhi knows his grandfather so well that he can guess something just from his grandfather's eyes.

She stretched out her hand and said, "Let me see the phone. Is it broken?"

Having said that, he still handed the phone over obediently.

Xu Qingzhi discovered that grandpa had used up his data plan and now owed more than a hundred yuan in bills, and his service had been shut down.

Grandpa didn't know how to pay the bill online, so he went to the village mobile phone service center to pay offline. Maybe the phone was out of service, and he couldn't pay the bill for a while, so he couldn't make calls. He was afraid of disturbing the recording of the program by going to her house, so he waited here alone. He was so hungry that he thought the meal would not be delivered, so he cooked a bowl of rice tofu himself.

"Why did you use so much data?" Xu Qingzhi asked.

While eating, Grandpa answered his granddaughter's question honestly, "I watched Yunqi Live and watched your program. And the old man who fished taught me that I can watch TV on my phone, so I watched a war movie, and then I couldn't get online because I owed money."

Xu Qingzhi clicked on the data usage. Yunqi Live indeed accounted for the majority, followed by Goose Video, and some was used on mini-programs and games.

Xu Qingzhi used his mobile phone to pay 500 yuan to Agong, and then said, "I will ask someone to come and connect you to the internet tomorrow, and then you can use the wireless network to watch TV at home."

"How much?" asked the old man.

Xu Qingzhi said: "About three hundred yuan a year."

"Okay, then install one." The old man nodded.

If it were in the past, the old man would have felt so bad about spending the money.

Xu Qingzhi was very happy.

Grandpa was able to survive in that war-torn era, and now he can live a good life in the new era and enjoy the life and entertainment brought by the development of the Internet.

This is how it should be at his age.

Xu Qingzhi returned from the courtyard and made an appointment online to install broadband for his grandfather the next day.

When I got home, some of the staff members of the program crew had already gone back to rest, and cameras were installed in several corners of the house.

She told her father about installing broadband tomorrow, asked her father to look after it, and went back to her room to wash up.

After washing up, I was about to enter the spiritual space.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She could sense the presence of someone coming and asked calmly, "Who?"

"Zhao Zhengchu." The person outside the door answered politely.
