After ringing the doorbell, Bai Yuhua heard the staggering footsteps inside and waited patiently.
“Here I come!”
"Eh? Who are you looking for, girl?"
Bai Yuhua looked at the familiar old lady in front of her and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm Bai Yuhua? I'm here to look for your grandson Ji Wenzhou!"
She knew that Ji Wenzhou should not have returned yet, and she just needed a cover.
"Bai Yuhua?"
"No, you are not Bai Yuhua. That Nannan is only as tall as me! How can you be Nannan with such a big body!"
Bai Yuhua smiled helplessly.
Well, it seems that Grandma Ji's Alzheimer's disease is getting worse. Looking at the position she is comparing, she still remembers herself as a little girl of five or six years old.
“Grandma, I’m really Bai Yuhua. Is your aunt at home? You can ask your aunt to see if I’m a bad person!”
Seeing that Grandma Ji's eyes were full of vigilance and she wanted to close the door, Bai Yuhua quickly said.
But it was too late.
The door has closed in front of him.
Bai Yuhua had no choice but to continue ringing the doorbell. Grandma Ji shouted from inside, "Don't try to fool me! Don't think you can fool me just because you're pretty! I'm telling you, I'm smart! I won't be fooled!"
You can tell that Grandma Ji is in good health by listening to her strong voice.
Seeing that Grandma Ji didn't open the door, she was worried that if she continued to ring the doorbell, she would scare the old lady, so she stopped.
Just when I was hesitating whether to continue waiting or go home and come back tomorrow.
“Huahua?!”
"Hey! It's really you! Why are you standing here? There's someone at home!"
Bai Yuhua turned around immediately after hearing the surprised voice and saw Ji Wenzhou's mother, Aunt Wu Manling, carrying a bag.
"Hello, Auntie! Long time no see!" Bai Yuhua explained with a smile: "Grandma Ji thought I was a bad person and closed the door."
Wu Manling laughed. "Your Grandma Ji's memory has been deteriorating rapidly recently. I guess you're still a child in her heart! She even thinks of me as a young girl! She's also been a bit unstable lately, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. Don't mind her."
After saying that, he rang the doorbell.
Grandma Ji's powerful voice came: "Bad guy, go away! I won't open the door for you."
Wu Manling shouted, "Mom, it's me! I'm Manling!"
The door opened with a swipe.
Grandma Ji hurried over and said to Wu Manling, "There was a stranger outside just now. I listened to you and didn't open the door!"
"This is Bai Yuhua, Huahua. You loved her when she was a child. Have you forgotten?"
"Really? How can it be so tall? It's taller than me!" Grandma Ji began to doubt her life.
But Manling would not lie to her.
"Then come in and sit down!"
It is extremely impolite to block guests outside.
Bai Yuhua walked in smoothly with her things in her hand. Wu Manling put down the things in her hands and made a cup of steaming hot malted milk for Bai Yuhua and Grandma Ji respectively.
"It's cold, drink something hot to warm your stomach!"
Bai Yuhua thanked him, took the cup of water, and held it in her palm, feeling warm.
"Is it very cold in Heilongjiang Province? Are you used to it?"
"It's okay. It's a little colder and drier than our city of Shanghai, but I can get used to it!"
Wu Manling sighed heavily, "Huahua, I'm sorry! By the time we knew the news, you had already gone to Heilongjiang Province.
Your mother is so cruel. Even if you have to go to the countryside, any rural area near Shanghai will do!
Why do you have to go so far away?"
She has always looked down upon He Hongmei, the mother of a hundred households, probably because she is from the countryside, has long hair and little knowledge.
It’s just a pity for Bai Zhiyuan and Huahua, one has such a wife and the other has such a mother.
Bai Yuhua just smiled and lowered her head to drink the sweet malted milk. Some things were better to be known by oneself. He Hongmei had already been punished, so there was no need to expose the pain and embarrassment in front of others.
"By the way, Huahua, did you receive the express delivery I sent you?"
Bai Yuhua raised her head, somewhat puzzled.
Wu Manling immediately understood. After calculating the date, she realized that she had missed the opportunity!
"It doesn't matter if you didn't receive it. It's not worth much. I just made you a thick quilt and a thick cotton coat. I heard it's very cold over there."
"It's also our fault for not paying attention to your news in time. By the time we found out, you had already gone to that cold Black Province!"
"Thank you, Aunt Wu!"
"Hey! What are you thanking me for? You and Wenzhou grew up together. In my heart, you are half my daughter!"
No matter what, she was still very grateful to Aunt Wu.
At least she cares about herself more than He Hongmei.
"Aunt Wu, these are specialties from Heilongjiang Province. I specifically exchanged them with my fellow villagers.
This is authentic Wuchang rice. Because the black soil in Heilongjiang Province is fertile, the rice grown here has a particularly outstanding taste.
This is the most famous red sausage in Heilongjiang Province, and it tastes good.
This is black fungus, and this is kvass drink."
Wu Manling couldn't stop smiling. Although the family was not short of food and drink, it was worth being happy that Huahua had such a thought.
Grandma Ji, who had been sitting next to her and hadn't seen malted milk before she was born, saw the sausage and immediately said excitedly: "I want to eat sausage, I want to eat sausage!"
"Okay, okay! We'll eat it tonight!" Wu Manling comforted.
"What are we having for dinner?"
When Bai Yuhua saw Uncle Ji coming back, she immediately stood up and called out sweetly, "Uncle Ji!"
"Oh, it's Huahua! Why did you come back suddenly? Did you just come back today?" Ji Zhaoxing put down his briefcase.
