Chapter 271: Call Aunt
"Grandpa, is my aunt angry? I need to explain. Before, my aunt said she would send it to us. It's too hasty. My uncle is still outside on a mission and hasn't come back yet?"
"Calm down, your aunt and your uncle are not that kind of people. They probably have something to give us."
After a while, Shen Meng came out holding a bundle. She looked at her grandfather and grandson and chuckled.
"I'm so sorry. I told Ah-Man before that I would make you a set of clothes and make dumplings by myself when you and him return to the capital. But I've been too busy recently, so I thought I'd buy you a set first. If I don't have time to make them, it's a token of my appreciation. I can make dumplings by myself, and I've already made some. I'll put them in the pot soon. Let's eat before we leave. Ah-Man, the clothes for you and your master are It's all here. Auntie will get you some hot water. You and Grandpa should wash up and change your clothes. Then you can go out neatly. "
Ah Man wiped his tears and said with a forced smile, "Hey!"
He was surprised for a moment when he received the clothes. He didn't expect that the clothes were so heavy. He looked at Shen Meng with some doubts. The latter just smiled and went back to the house to get a clean towel and an enamel basin.
When the grandfather and grandson entered the house with the clothes, the three young people waiting outside followed them in.
"Mr. Chu, I'm so ashamed. We came here in such a hurry that we didn't even think of bringing clothes for you and Ah Heng."
"Nothing, look, my daughter-in-law prepared it for me. Hehe, wow, it's quite complete."
Towels, soap, razors, even vanishing cream and hair oil were all there.
They cleaned themselves up in the main room, while Shen Meng was making dumplings in the kitchen. After a while, Mingyang and Mingfang got out of school. Mingfang was still holding Mingkai. The children went straight to the kitchen after entering the house. They looked at the person standing outside the main room who they didn't recognize, and were not sure whether he was a good person or a bad person, so they went to find Shen Meng first.
"Don't be afraid, they are here to pick up your brother A-man and grandpa. They will leave by car soon. Mingyang, come over and help mother heat the pot. Mother will put the dumplings in so that she can send them off later."
"Okay, mother."
Mingyang took the schoolbag off his neck and threw it on the stool. He heated the pot while Mingliang and Mingfang washed their hands and helped Shen Meng to make dumplings. The two children have been dexterous since they were young. Although the dumplings they made were a little ugly, they were also very decent.
The three of them made dumplings together, and their hands were very fast. After the pot was opened, a layer of dumplings was put into the pot. They did not stop and continued to make the second layer.
After changing their clothes and getting ready, the grandparents, Chu Lao and Chu Heng, also known as Ah Man, stood in front of the three people with a brand new look.
"Look at this girl, the clothes she prepared for me fit so well, and these shoes are so comfortable!"
Chu Heng adjusted his coat. Such good material, such good leather shoes, his aunt must have spent a lot of money on it. When he returns to Beijing, he will study hard, and when he is assigned a job in the future, he will give all the money he earns to his aunt.
"Ah Heng, help your aunt, no, your aunt, to clean up. Xin Xin, didn't you bring me some things? Give them to me. I'm going to adopt you as my goddaughter soon, and I have to give you a gift for the meeting!"
"Hey, Mr. Chu, I'll get it right away!"
Shen Meng knew nothing about this. After she cooked two pots of dumplings, she served them all. Five big bowls of dumplings were placed on the table. It was already getting a little dark. Mingliang ran over, took a match and lit the kerosene lamp. Looking at the different Chu Heng and Mr. Chu, his eyes widened.
"Are you still my brother A-man and grandpa?"
"Haha, you little brat, if I'm not your grandpa, then who is your grandpa? Isn't your brother A-man standing right in front of you? Why are you afraid to recognize him?"
Mingliang laughed twice and circled around Chu Heng and Old Chu.
"When did my brother A-man become so handsome? Grandpa is also handsome, both are handsome!"
Chu Heng's ears turned red when he heard that. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Mingliang's head, which made Mingliang's eyes red.
"Brother A-man, I, I can't bear to leave you. I just made dumplings for you. You have to eat more. When I grow up and become more knowledgeable, I will go to Beijing to find you. You can't forget me!"
A-man grabbed a woolen coat and looked at Mingliang sadly.
"Brother will never forget Mingliang, nor will he forget that Mingliang slipped many times in the snow to bring food to brother."
Lu Mingliang said "Hi", tears flowed down, and he patted Chu Heng's hand a little embarrassedly.
"Look, why are you saying this? It makes me embarrassed. It's because the ground is slippery, not my fault."
"Yes, it's not your fault."
Mingliang pouted, then suddenly hugged Chu Heng's waist and cried loudly.
Chu Heng was almost crying because of his crying. Old Chu turned his head away sadly. When he was in the most difficult time, he thought about when he could leave and when he could leave here. But now he has to leave, but he is reluctant to leave.
Shen Meng brought over two more bowls of dumplings. Mingyang and Mingfang held two dipping sauces in their hands. Looking at the situation in the room, Shen Meng did not intend to rebuke Mingliang. Children's feelings are genuine, outgoing, and passionate. These are their own emotions, and she cannot control them.
Mingfang and Mingyang also had red eyes, and it seemed that they had already cried.
"Grandpa, A'man, and these comrades, eat the dumplings while they are hot. I made cabbage, pork, and vermicelli. A'man likes this the most. I also prepared the dipping sauce. You can try it too."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Old Chu and Chu Heng. The two of them looked different after putting on new clothes. They are indeed the strongest force to help the male and female protagonists in the later stage.
"Okay, okay, okay, before we leave, I can still have a meal cooked by you, so I have no regrets. You guys can sit down and try it. This girl is usually lazy. It's not easy to cook next time, so she has to finish it, otherwise she won't be happy."
"Look at what you said. Although I don't cook often, I never forget you every time I make delicious food. It's a pity that Zhenping is not here. He can't see you off. Don't remember his mistake!"
Old Chu glared at her and said, "Am I an unreasonable person? I know he is carrying out his mission and I won't blame him."
"Well, that's good."
He moved the chopsticks first, and then Xin and the others picked up the chopsticks. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. This fellow villager was really good to Chu Heng and Mr. Chu. Look at this package of dumplings, with plenty of fillings, and the dumpling skin is smooth and glutinous. They are all made of fine flour. They didn't eat so well when they went to Beijing.
Mr. Chu ate a bowl of dumplings, and Shen Meng quickly gave him half a bowl, and soon brought him a bowl of dumpling soup.
"The soup is the original food. Drink some dumpling soup, eat a full meal and return to the city without worries."
"How can I? I'm not worried. My daughter and grandson are both in Lujia Village. I worry about them wherever I go!"
Shen Meng: "......."
Hmm? What daughter and grandson? Why haven't I heard you mention them before? ? ?
