"What's this kind of vegetable called? It looks green, so pretty." An Xia squatted aside, watching the old man holding a small hoe, first digging out a handful of soil, and then planting the green vegetables in it .

"This is rapeseed."

The old man explained that the movements of his hands did not stop.

There is a piece of land near the garden. After she came back for a few days, she was really busy and panicked, so she simply opened up this piece of land. Now it is surrounded by a circle, and some vegetables can be grown in it.

The apprentice is fluffy and basically doesn't need much force, she just needs to use a small hoe to plant the vegetables.

"Why does it seem to be different from the rapeseed flowers I saw?" An Xia tilted her head and carefully looked at the green leaves in front of her. They looked sleepy and lacked energy. The old man had to water them after picking them off. You will not continue to pick one until the surrounding soil has darkened.

"Because this is the rapeseed flower that is only available in our hometown. After this kind of rapeseed flower blooms, it can be pulled out by the roots. When the time comes, remove the root, pickle it in a jar, add a little coarse salt, and it will become grandma's vegetable."

"It tastes appetizing and refreshing, even better than the crispy cucumber you made." She said with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be smiling.

"Can it still be like this?" This was the first time An Xia had heard of it.

"Yeah. Yuchen liked to eat it when he was a child. Those flowers can be used as medicine after drying. It can be said to be very versatile." When the old man mentioned the past, his eyes were full of tenderness.

An Xia blinked: "How long will it take to grow taller?"

"It won't take long. It will be ready to eat next spring. I'll teach you how to make it first, and then you'll be able to make it." The old man said enthusiastically, and An Xia also listened.

"Grandma, can you still cook?"

"From our time, those who don't know how to cook are the minority." She sighed, poured the water from the kettle into the soil, and didn't dare to pour it directly on the small seedlings, so she had to water the surrounding area. on a lap.

"Your life is much better than ours now. At that time, it was still a time of war and strife. Even women had to go to the battlefield. There is no gender distinction on the battlefield. As long as you are an individual, you have to go up if you have any strength. But It is precisely because of this that so many people sacrificed in vain."

"Later, life got better, but I was still so poor that I couldn't let go. That period was almost the most difficult time. Yu Chen's father was just born, and he was still so young, so he was malnourished. When he was two years old, he was still a small man. Yes, but later on Yuchen’s grandfather was still doing well, and then our life got better and better, until now, although it has been decades, it seems like it was still yesterday.”

She seems to be able to grasp something as long as she recalls it.

An Xia listened with gusto. She had seen the stories of that era on TV, but it was the first time that she heard the people around her so vividly.

An Xia could know that the old lady must have had a bad life, but all she said were some interesting memories, as if she was looking for that rare sweetness in the hard suffering, An Xia didn't ask any more questions, but quietly Listening quietly.

"Yuchen's father was very handsome when he was a child. The little girls around him liked to visit him secretly. Every time he came back from class, he would bring back a lot of candy. Think about how precious candy was at that time. As for him, he has been eating sweets since he was a child, and when he changed his teeth at the age of three, he felt uncomfortable. All his teeth were decayed, and the syringe was so big when the tooth was pulled out that he was too scared to say a word."

The old lady smiled softly remembering what happened at that meeting, and compared the size of the syringe with both hands.

"Children are afraid of injections. Since then, he has never wanted to eat candy. Even if someone really gave him candy, he would not dare to eat more."

"Yu Chen too, just like his father, even though he is so mature now, he actually has a little weakness." The old man smiled and waved to An Xia, "I'll tell you quietly."

An Xia's curious eyes lit up, she nodded and listened.

"He was afraid of injections when he was a child. Now that he is grown up, he is still afraid of injections. Don't look at him so calmly. In fact, he is afraid in his heart. He just wants to maintain his image in front of you."

The old man whispered into An Xia's ear, and An Xia was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that he also had something to be afraid of.

The old man seemed to see what An Xia was thinking: "He is also a human being, so how could he have nothing to be afraid of? It's just that he's too good at hiding now. People who don't know him well won't be able to see it."

"Speaking of which, I really miss my magnanimous and cute grandson when I was a child." At that time, Yu Chen cried whenever he wanted, and he hadn't put on a mask for himself, and when he smiled, he smiled very purely.

"Now the older I get, the less frank I am." She was a little disgusted.

An Xia laughed out loud.

"It seems so."

"grandfather!"

The old man kept his gaze outside, but suddenly, Yu Chen's voice interrupted his gaze.

Yu Chen came back from the company, it happened to be lunch break time, and there was nothing special to deal with in the afternoon, so he came back when the housekeeper called, but as soon as he entered the living room, he saw that the vegetables on the table were just moving randomly , and the rest are unmoved.

And he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring in a daze, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Grandpa, did you ask me to come back?" Yu Chen said patiently.

"What's that?" The old man pointed to the dishes on the table.

Yu Chen said blankly, "Vegetables."

"You are really going to piss me off, do you know that you are abusing the elderly?" The old man was so angry, looking at Yu Chen's expressionless face, he wanted to hit him with a stick.

Usually, when he saw him fighting his opponent with this expression on TV, he could still boast, but now when he saw Yu Chen facing him with this expression, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Who dares to abuse you? You are obviously embarrassing me. I called the doctor just now. The doctor said that you not only have high blood pressure, but also high blood lipids. You should try to eat less meat or sweets. I just Just follow the doctor's orders, besides, you eat meat every day, aren't you afraid of getting angry? Why don't you eat some vegetables to reduce the fire."

Sheng's temper is always so bad all day long.

Although Yu Chen didn't say the last sentence, his expression already explained it.

"I don't want to eat it! You have to ask someone to do it again now." His face was very ugly. He usually has the habit of having lunch. Now that it has passed that point, his stomach is really hungry and a little uncomfortable, but Yu Chen He is also extremely stubborn, and he is not willing to give in at all.

"I'm very busy now, and there's another meeting at two o'clock." He glanced at his watch, and there was still half an hour left. "It's because of you that you can call me back with such a boring reason."

"I'm leaving."

"Wait!" said the old man, "You just don't care about it?"

Yu Chen glanced at him lightly.

The old man also knew that it was not good for him to call someone back for no reason, but his attitude was too cold.

Yu Chen: "I asked the chef to make it according to the recipe given by the doctor. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask. Don't think that everyone is like you."

The last sentence of Yu Chen's sarcasm almost made the old man very angry again.

He even doubted what the purpose of his return was.

Yes, he had important things to do when he came back, and he was so dazed by Yu Chen that he almost forgot about going to Han's house.

He didn't feel at ease until the Han family finished calling.

When he returned to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the people outside had disappeared.

"Where's the old lady?"

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "When you called just now, the old lady had already gone upstairs."

The butler didn't wait for the old man's answer. He looked up and found that he had been staring outside in a daze. After waiting for a long time, he responded lightly.

An Xia accompanied the old lady to sleep.

In the dimly lit room, the old man was sleeping very peacefully.

After spending the past few days together, she could feel that the old lady had a secret, but she couldn't tell what the secret was.

But she could feel that no matter what she did or said, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes, which made it obvious at a glance that she was missing something.

And she never said a word to the old man.

It can be seen that the old man is always hesitant to speak, looking at the old lady with helplessness and joy, but the old lady's eyes looking at the old man are like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.

By now, An Xia probably guessed that the reason why the old lady didn't want to come back should be related to the old man, but she didn't know what the old lady did to make such a kind person like the old lady remember until now.

And the hatred has not dissipated even after so many years.

Just when she was in a daze, suddenly, the phone vibrated.

She looked down and found that it was a text message from Yu Chen.

"come out."

She turned around subconsciously, and found Yu Chen was outside the door, but she didn't speak or make a sound.

She glanced at the old lady and tiptoed out after tucking in the quilt.

Close the door.

"Why are you back at this hour?"

"It happened that grandpa called me back, so I came back to get the documents by the way."

Although Yu Chen said so, how does An Xia feel, he is actually coming back to get the documents, and it is only by the way that Grandpa asked him to come back, right?

"My mother called and asked me to take you out."

An Xia: "Let you take me out?"

"Yeah." Yu Chen nodded, "Maybe he wants to cultivate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

An Xia: "Hehe, I haven't written my horoscope yet. Why did Auntie ask me to go out?"

"You'll know when you go."
