Tang Tang estimated the time and knocked on Grandma Zhao's door: "Shiliu, are you there? I came to see you——"
Shi Liu hurried out to open the door: "I was planning to send it to you, but I didn't expect you to come directly. Come in quickly, I brought a lot of seafood this time, you can pick out what you like first."
Tang Tang was shocked when she saw the basket of seafood. "Why did you bring so much seafood?"
"The last time I went to Haishi, I brought back three sacks of seafood. This is nothing."
Originally, Shi Liu was planning to give Tang Tang the seafood that her mother had helped her pick. But now that Tang Tang came directly to her, she might as well let her choose for herself. She didn't lack any food after all.
Tang Tang, like her grandmother, loves seafood, and she ate almost all of the seafood Shi Liu gave her last time. This time, Shi Liu directly took out a basket and let her choose first. Tang Tang was so touched that she hugged Shi Liu tightly. She felt that the small amount of candy she had given her before was not enough, and she couldn't expect her to pick a lot later.
Shi Liu took a salted fish to the main hall and said, "Grandma Zhao, shall we have fish for lunch later?"
In order to maintain a good tenant environment, Shi Liu would occasionally take out some fish, meat, bones, etc. and ask Grandma Zhao to help cook them. Once they were cooked, everyone could have a meal or two of meat. Otherwise, she would cook meat and let the landlord watch, which would not be a good thing in the long run.
Grandma Zhao knew how to act. Since Shi Liu offered fish and meat, Grandma Zhao offered dry food. Because of this, the two of them got along quite well. Even after the landlord next door raised the rent, Grandma Zhao did not raise the rent for Shi Liu.
Tang Tang watched Shi Liu greet the landlord skillfully and was filled with admiration. Shi Liu was truly amazing as she could have such a good relationship with the landlord.
Shi Liu smiled and shook her head: "It's not that I'm so powerful, it's just that money can move people's hearts."
Seeing Tang Tang's puzzled expression, Shi Liu patiently explained, "I send some meat or bones to the landlord every week. Although I'll eat them myself once they're cooked, I only eat one meal each time. The rest goes to the landlord's grandmother and grandson. If they're frugal, they can even have three or four meals, but usually only two. So, naturally, they think it's a great idea."
Tang Tang suddenly sighed, thinking that her friend had a very hard life. He had to give some to the landlord after having a good meal. Life was really not easy.
Seeing this, Shi Liu didn't explain. She couldn't tell Tang Tang that she didn't need that little thing.
Turning to look at the seafood Tang Tang had picked out, Shi Liu looked at the seafood, which was even less than what her mother had brought. She smiled helplessly in her heart: "You took too little. Take more, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat."
Tang Tang hesitated for a moment, then chose another big squid and gave up.
Shi Liu simply picked out five more sea cucumbers and said, "I don't know how many people there are in your family, so I'll just give you five. Consider it my birthday gift to the old lady. If it's not enough, you can do whatever you want."
Tang Tang wanted to refuse, but seeing Shi Liu's firm attitude, she had to accept it.
After returning home, Tang's father saw the sea cucumbers inside and was shocked: "Why do you want other people's sea cucumbers, kid? The little we gave is not enough to exchange for these seafood."
Tang's mother also felt that her daughter's behavior was outrageous: "Such a big sea cucumber, and it costs fifty or sixty cents each. I counted seven in total. You really are..."
Tang Tang pouted and said unhappily, "No, I only picked two sea cucumbers for grandma to try. The other five were forced on me by Pomegranate, who said they were birthday gifts for grandma."
Father Tang looked at his daughter in surprise. After a while, he said, "Your judgment is quite good this time. Shi Liu is a good and honest child."
Ever since his niece got into trouble, many families have distanced themselves from them. Even Tang Tang was looked at with strange eyes by her classmates at school. He didn't expect that a rural girl would not avoid suspicion and continue to be friends with Tang Tang. Her character is really beyond reproach.
Tang Tang raised her head proudly: "I've always had good taste. Mom and Dad, how's grandma doing?"
Tang's father's face suddenly turned ugly: "Your grandmother was depressed because of your cousin's matter, but fortunately her illness has improved a lot."
When Tang's mother thought about her mother being so angry that she fell ill in bed, she couldn't help but get angry: "What do you think that child is thinking? The family has no worries about food and clothing, but she did something so head-breaking. She really thinks the leader is just there to eat and not notice her little tricks."
Tang Tang also knew that this birthday party was mainly to make grandma happy. Another reason was that grandma had not been in good health since she fell ill. It felt like she didn't have many years left, so the family wanted to get together to celebrate the old lady's birthday.
Tang's father, however, was more open-minded: "It's just human greed. I've always thought that child was incredibly well-off. During the few days he stayed at our house, he changed into new clothes every day. What kind of family would afford to waste money like that?"
After being reminded by Tang's father, Tang Tang realized that there were actually many things wrong with her cousin. It was just that as relatives, they didn't want to think too much about it. If they really thought about it carefully, they would find that her cousin had flaws all over her body. It was no wonder that people targeted her.
Forget it. People with average brains like Tang Tang should stop thinking about it. Just like Shi Liu said, her most important task now is to study hard and try to get into a good university next year.
After Shi Liu sent Tang Tang away, she did not wait for dinner in the house. She went straight into the space and began to organize the review materials.
After hearing Grandma Zhao's call, Shi Liu just came out of the book. She was still a little confused. If Zhou Pan saw her, he would probably call her "cute".
Grandma Zhao’s cooking skills are quite good. Of course, the most important thing is that she is willing to add seasonings, so the flavor comes out naturally.
Grandma Zhao looked at the two little kids who were eating so much that they couldn't even lift their heads, and smiled happily with wrinkles on her face: "You kids need to eat more and grow more meat. Pomegranate, you really don't eat enough on a daily basis. Look how thin you are-"
Shi Liu looked at Zhao Xiaowawa with helplessness in her eyes. In the eyes of older people, children like them are always very thin.
Seeing that Grandma Zhao was reluctant to pick up her chopsticks to eat the fish, Shi Liu smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, please eat quickly. I was born with a small appetite. My mother always says that I have a small stomach and I am unlucky."
Grandma Zhao was immediately displeased: "Nonsense, our pomegranate is so beautiful, she will definitely be blessed in the future."
Under Grandma Zhao's gaze, Shi Liu had to eat another piece of steamed bread, and then successfully filled herself up again. Fortunately, she was practicing dancing in the space every day, otherwise she would have become a fat person if she ate like this.
