When Lin Zhizhi went downstairs to the dining table, she saw her grandmother busy bringing out the breakfast prepared in the kitchen one by one.
After grandma served the last plate of food, she turned around and saw Lin Zhizhi coming down the stairs. She hurriedly called out, "Zhizhi, come quickly! It's still hot."
"Zhizhi, do you like tofu pudding? We all like sweet ones here, but if you like salty ones, that's fine too. I'll make the ingredients for you."
Lin Zhizhi came over with a smile, looking at the steaming tofu pudding in the old-fashioned yellow porcelain basin, "Grandma, there's no need to bother. I really like tofu pudding, and I only like sweet ones."
Grandma was about to take a bowl to serve Lin Zhizhi some tofu pudding, but Lin Zhizhi quickly took the bowl and served it first, "Grandma, let me do it."
Grandma thought it was not tiring, so she did not refuse. She turned around and went to get the osmanthus honey with a smile, saying, "If you like sweet things, it's easy. I just made several jars of osmanthus honey this year. They are delicious."
Lin Zhizhi served tofu pudding to the three of them. Thinking of the osmanthus tree by the door, she replied, "Osmanthus honey? Is it made from the flowers of the osmanthus tree outside?"
Grandma quickly came out with osmanthus honey. "Yes, every year when the osmanthus tree blooms, I will pick some flowers and make it myself. Now the osmanthus tree outside is still blooming. If you like it, we can pick a time to come and make it directly."
Grandma put the osmanthus honey on the table and opened the lid. "This jar is the same glass jar of canned yellow peaches that Xiaoyi bought for me before."
As grandma said this, she asked Lin Zhizhi to come closer and smell it.
This osmanthus honey is like fine wine, the longer it is brewed, the better it tastes. When you open the lid, you will smell a strong aroma. Although the aroma is sweet, it is not greasy. When you smell it, you will feel that your whole body is immersed in the fragrance of osmanthus, and the whole person seems to become lighter, as if floating in the air.
"It smells so good and looks delicious, grandma, you are so good. I must learn from you."
Lin Zhizhi smiled sweetly and looked at her grandmother.
Grandma was easily influenced by others. She was as happy as a child when she heard the compliments. "It's not difficult to learn. There are ready-made osmanthus materials outside."
When Lu Yi came down, he heard the laughter of his grandmother and Lin Zhizhi. Seeing their faces smiling like flowers, he couldn't help but laugh along, "What's the matter? What's good news? You are laughing so happily, add me in."
Grandma deliberately frowned, and while scooping osmanthus honey into Lin Zhizhi's bowl, she said to Lu Yi, "You took so long to come down, you won't be able to catch up with any good things."
Lu Yi pretended to be wronged and said, "Grandma, you have changed. You didn't treat me like this before. Now you treat Zhizhi better than me. I must have eaten something wrong."
Grandma knew Lu Yi's personality and didn't buy into this at all. She said directly, "Of course not. Zhizhi is so well-behaved, who wouldn't like her? You, a bad boy, definitely can't compare to her."
Lu Yi: “…”
Lin Zhizhi smiled as she watched Lu Yi chatting with his grandmother like a little child, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
Stir the soup spoon, and inch by inch of smooth tofu pudding blooms in the bowl, with golden osmanthus honey distributed in it. Take a sip, and the tofu pudding with the fragrance of osmanthus slides into the mouth. The delicate, soft and smooth taste soaks every taste bud that has been dormant for a night. After swallowing it gently, you will feel refreshed all over.
It's so sweet, a sweet smell spreads throughout my body, my pores seem to expand outwards, and my whole body exudes fragrance.
Lu Yi quickly finished a bowl and served another one, "Grandma, the osmanthus honey you made is still so fragrant and delicious."
Grandma sat at the head of the table, looking at Lu Yi and Lin Zhizhi who were sitting on either side of her and eating happily, the smile on her face never faded.
"If it tastes good, eat more. There's still plenty. Don't eat so fast. No one's going to grab it from you. Don't choke."
Lu Yi nodded in response to his grandmother, and did not forget to give her a thumbs up.
…
After the three of them finished eating, Lu Yi took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Then Lu Yi and Lin Zhizhi followed their grandmother to the vegetable garden.
Grandma walked in front with a wooden barrel to lead the way, while Lu Yi held a hoe in one hand and insisted on holding Lin Zhizhi's hand with the other, and the two followed behind grandma.
Grandma and Lu Yi wouldn't let Lin Zhizhi take anything. Lin Zhizhi couldn't persuade them, so she could only compromise and follow them obediently, relaxed as if taking a walk.
My grandmother has a cheerful personality and she can chat with anyone she meets along the way.
For example, we chat about whether we have eaten, what we have eaten, whether we have watered the fields, whether we have weeded them...
What I talked more about with others today was introducing Lin Zhizhi.
for example:
"This is my granddaughter-in-law. Isn't she beautiful?"
"My granddaughter-in-law's name is Zhizhi. It sounds nice, right?"
"Hey, Lao Li, where are you going?...Oh...this is my granddaughter-in-law..."
"Zhizhi, come here, this is Grandma Zhang..."
…
Lin Zhizhi greeted everyone politely with a smile. As they walked along, she felt her face was almost stiff from smiling.
