Li Guifang was sitting on the threshold of the yard, gently waving the thin fan she had used for many years.
The breeze brought a hint of coolness, and she looked contented and happy, muttering, "This life is so comfortable."
She looked up at the sky, then looked at the pug Dahuang who was hiding under the eaves and sticking out his tongue, her heart filled with emotion.
What kind of life did I live in the past? I was so busy all day long that I didn’t even have time to take a break. Looking back now, I feel so stupid.
"What was I really after?" Li Guifang muttered to herself. "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I won't care about them and I will enjoy my own happiness."
She fanned herself with a fan, her eyes narrowed into slits, enjoying this rare leisure time.
She would sleep after eating, and go out when she woke up, chatting with her neighbor. She could talk about anything from her grandson’s full moon to her second uncle’s arthritis, but in the end she found out that we were not talking about the same person at all!
When I have nothing to do, I just beat the dog and scold the chicken. I live a happy and comfortable life.
When the sun stretched the shadows in the yard very long, Li Guifang got up, walked slowly into the kitchen, and began to prepare dinner.
I said I would ignore those ungrateful people, but I ended up stirring the pot with a spatula and cooked four dishes and a soup!
Li Guifang muttered as she chopped pork ribs, "How come this hand is more compassionate than a bodhisattva?"
"Oh, when will you change your soft heart?" Li Guifang muttered while skillfully cutting and washing vegetables.
The oil in the pot sizzled and the aroma of the food filled the air.
Li Guifang took a deep breath in ecstasy: "Tsk tsk, this fragrance, even the King of Hell would beg me to live another five hundred years!"
Then he gave the air a thumbs-up and said, "Tsk tsk, these days, if a virtuous old lady like me were in the supply and marketing cooperative, wouldn't people be lining up to grab one?!"
"Grandma~Grandma~"
While Li Guifang was entertaining herself, a few children's voices were heard. Li Guifang looked up and saw the third brother's wife Wu Xiaomei and Li Minghua walking in with their two children.
Carrying a big bag in his hand, Li Minghua held his little grandson with a smile on his face.
"Mom, we're back from my parents' home." Wu Xiaomei's voice was clear and it was obvious that she was very happy.
Li Guifang put down the kitchen knife, stood up, and a surprised smile appeared on her face: "Oh, grandma's sweetheart is back? Come in and let grandma see you."
When the two grandchildren saw Li Guifang, their eyes sparkled with excitement and they shouted in unison, "Grandma!"
Then they ran to Li Guifang like two little rabbits.
Li Guifang looked at her two grandsons, and her heart was filled with warmth. She bent down, gently touched their heads, and said with a smile,
"Look, you've gained weight and become tanned. Grandma didn't even recognize you."
Li Anyuan is six years old and Li Anyang is four years old. Both children are chubby and very cute.
Li Anyuan took Li Guifang's hand and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, we miss you so much at grandma's house."
Li Anyang was not to be outdone, and threw himself into Li Guifang's arms, saying coquettishly, "Grandma, I brought you something delicious!"
Li Guifang hugged An Yang and touched An Yuan's head. Her eyes were full of love: "Oh, our darling grandson has grown up and still misses grandma wherever he goes!"
In the previous life, these two grandsons were also good. Li Anyuan went to the army, and every time he came back on leave, he would come to see his grandmother.
Li Anyang was admitted to graduate school and went abroad for further studies after completing his studies.
The third family is living like walking on a tightrope these days, all thanks to the addition of a new "little eight hundred"!
That’s right, the third daughter has been valuable since she was born, and she started generating income for the family planning office as soon as she was born.
This girl is really capable. She drinks medicine as if it were milk and treats the clinic as her own home. She has managed to drink the already limited family funds into a bottomless pit.
If it weren't for this "money-giving boy", the third family would have turned their fortunes around and been singing loudly just based on the two kids in front!
Wu Xiaomei and Li Minghua put their things down and said, "Mom, the kids missed you so much. They kept talking about you all the way."
Li Guifang was so happy, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes: "That's right, I missed these two naughty kids after not seeing them for two months. They have become much more sensible now."
…
At the Li family's dinner table, Li Guifang prepared a full banquet with four dishes and a soup - pork these days has not yet been injected with water, and vegetables have not been given pesticides, the pure natural fragrance is so captivating that it makes people lose their souls.
The old lady spent a lot of money today: buying meat, buying wine, and buying vegetables, it was like she was running a production team at home.
As soon as the food was served, the four little ones started chirping like a flock of sparrows fighting for food.
"Grandma, I'm starving!" Six-year-old Li Anyuan eagerly jumped onto the bench and snatched the largest piece of braised pork with one chopstick. He ate it with his head shaking. "When I get married in the future, I want a wife like Grandma!"
Li Anyang held the spoon like a gibbon trying to reach the moon, wishing he could put the entire plate of meat into his bowl.
Li Guifang looked at the group of hungry little wolves with a smile: "Slow down, it's not like we can't afford to eat. Look how anxious you are!"
Five-year-old Li Shuduo is usually as quiet as a little quail, but now she is eager to join in the fun.
"Grandma, I want to eat this too!" She pointed to a plate of stir-fried beans, her eyes full of anticipation.
Li Guifang picked up a piece of beans with chopsticks and put it into Li Shuduo's bowl. "My dear granddaughter, eat a combination of meat and vegetables. Eating meat will make you stronger, and eating vegetables will make you smarter."
Li Jianghai watched as his eldest grandson Li Shuhang was busy eating with big mouthfuls of rice, frowning all the time. He didn't know how the grandson and his wife had taught him, but he looked so mature at such a young age that it was heartbreaking.
Li Guifang noticed and directly put a piece of meat into his bowl: "Eat! Did your parents teach you to eat politely? You don't have to serve at grandma's place, just grab it when you need it!"
