After thinking about it, I decided to give them some wine, so I gave them two bottles of Erguotou. They weren't too expensive and looked decent. But I had to remove the labels, which was troublesome.
I looked at the clock and it was almost twelve o'clock. I didn't know if grandma had cooked yet. I had no choice but to take out six buns and a dozen steamed buns and put them in the backpack. Otherwise, I would have to eat the buns at noon and would not be able to make anything else in time.
The sun was high in the sky at noon, and the heat was intense. If I hadn't practiced ancient martial arts, I'd have been scorched to death. I didn't meet anyone along the way, so everyone must have been hiding in their homes to avoid the sun!
I returned home sweating. My grandma and younger sister were waiting for me to eat. There were three bowls of rice porridge and a plate of pickles on the table.
"Why did you come back so late? It's so hot, right? Wash your face quickly to cool it down." Grandma said, pointing to the basin filled with water.
"It's a bit troublesome because I want to buy a lot of things."
"Brother, are you tired? Let me fan you!" The little girl said as she took the fan and started fanning.
"Sister, you don't have to fan me. After I wash my face, I'll show you what I bought. There are a lot of delicious food."
After washing his face, he took out the things one by one.
"Grandma, I bought some meat buns, perfect to eat with porridge. I also have cucumbers and tomatoes, I'll make some cucumbers to go with the rice later.
We'll use these leeks and meat to make dumplings tomorrow to improve things. The rest is rice, flour, grain, oil, and seasonings.
This is some candy for my little sister. Please keep it here for her. Give her two a day, but don’t eat too much. Be careful not to damage her teeth.”
Zhang Xudong remembered that he forgot to bring out some oil, salt and seasonings, so he took out the candy and put it on the table without letting his grandmother watch the basket, then went to the kitchen with the basket.
"Grandma, I put all these in the kitchen. I'll make some cucumbers for you."
I went to the kitchen and took out some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar from the storage space. I also put the sesame oil and MSG I used that morning into the cupboard. I didn't dare put the whole barrel of soybean oil in the kitchen, so I just poured half a can into the oil tank.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly take the things out of the basket.
Grandma just happened to follow in and was shocked to see the kitchen full of food and seasonings.
"Dongzi, where did you get all this? We don't have any tickets, so where did you buy them from? You can't buy this rice and flour even with tickets now!
You can’t do anything bad! The family will depend on you from now on, so don’t let anything happen to you! Zhang Xudong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What else could he do? Just make something up.
"Don't worry, grandma. This was bought for me by Dad's former colleague. This uncle also drives a truck and often travels to other places. He has a lot of connections, so this is no problem for him. I paid him enough."
"That's good. We should pay them what they deserve. They've been a great help.
Well, that’s true. When your father was born, our family never lacked these things.”
"Grandma, you have to relax, take good care of yourself, and just look after our family. Things will get better and better in the future."
As he was talking, he smashed two cucumbers and mixed them together before returning to the main room to eat. While eating, he said to his grandmother:
"Grandma, I want to sell my job in the county. Is that okay with you?"
"Sold it? What will you do after you sell your job? Farming at home is no match for being a regular factory worker."
"Grandma, look, this work is just too conspicuous if it's left there. Forget about anything else, will my mom be willing to let it go? Who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause in the future.
Even though we're no longer in a relationship, she's still my biological mother. What can I do if she really makes a scene? If I really beat her up, I'll become famous, and then I won't have to worry about anything like college entrance exams, a job, or anything like that."
