Rebirth: 1977

Grandma Ding ate a bowl of fragrant rice porridge. There were no dried radish or soft tofu at home, so she fried a musu egg and soybean paste.

"Mom, you made this soybean paste for us every year when we were kids.

After living abroad for so many years, I have forgotten a lot of the food in my hometown. I just remember how you made soybean paste.

We now make it once a year at home. Every time we eat it, we will think of mom and dad. "

Grandma Ding took a piece of soybean paste with her chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and nodded, "Yeah, it's even more delicious than what I made.

I haven’t made or eaten it in years.

I didn’t expect you would still remember it. "

Ding Dakun was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, my brother taught me how to make it. Now everyone in the family likes to eat it."

Is it really more delicious than what Mom makes? Maybe it’s because I used mountain spring water when I made it. "

Ding Dafu glanced at his younger brother and did not take the credit.

When Grandma Ding got up and washed up, Ye Tianshui made an excuse and left.

Grandma is with her own son, there is no need for him to squeeze together.

He just didn't expect that Grandma Ding was so knowledgeable that she didn't take the initiative to tell her sons her dietary preferences.

Whether it’s Wanwan or Hong Kong Island, seafood is an important part of their lives.

It is indeed nutritious and delicious.

Ye Tianshui also liked it.

But in Pingcheng, where Grandma Ding lives, there are many types of river fish, and the only fish that can be eaten is hairtail.

But Grandma Ding belongs to a small group of people who naturally don't like seafood.

Grandma Ding had lost her appetite due to the long journey. When others saw the fragrant seafood porridge being brought to her, she was overwhelmed by the smell and lost her appetite.

Grandma Ding put down her bowls and chopsticks, and the servant immediately handed over the mouthwash.

She was confused and shocked for a moment.

In the past, the Ding family lived a life like this. Not only did they have a lot of servants, but they did have people doing all the big and small things at home.

She is a young lady from a scholar's family, and she is married to a capitalist young master.

But such living habits have long been changed by reality, and Grandma Ding has almost forgotten every bit of those distant memories.

Unexpectedly, her sons have inherited the luxurious living habits of their ancestors.

She thought a lot in her mind. What is certain is that her sons' life is much better than she imagined.

In this way, she was really relieved.

When there were only mother and son in the room, Grandma Ding spoke out what was in her heart:

"Dafu, Dakun, my mother doesn't have many days left at this age. My mother will be satisfied if I can see you all in my lifetime."

She looked at her younger son. When he left home, he was still playing tricks on her. If he suffered a loss from his brother, he would sue him.

Simple in mind.

The eldest son, like his father, has a quick mind and knows how to act according to circumstances.

Decades passed in a blink of an eye, and she felt relieved that the relationship between the two brothers was still going well.

"Mom, since Xiaoshui can help you go through the procedures to come to Hong Kong Island, just agree, okay?

We owe this favor after all. I will discuss with my brother how to compensate him. "

Although Ding Dakun was reprimanded by his brother and suspected that Xiao Shui had benefited from his mother, he had different ideas.

Mother's life is priceless, even if she is given benefits, it is still deserved.

Can that favor be repaid easily?

"Brother, don't make any random decisions. My mother is in good health and can live a long life.

As far as I know, national policies are slowly changing, and overseas Chinese in some countries can already go back to visit relatives.

We can also go back to see my mother and see the home where we lived when we were children. "

Ding Dafu did not change his attitude, but when facing his own mother, his tone became much more tactful.

"Mom, she..."

Ding Dakun wanted to argue, but was glared back by his brother. Although he was not convinced, he was used to listening to his brother on big matters.

Grandma Ding is such a shrewd person, but her edges have been smoothed by the wind and frost of time.

Looking at the attitudes of the two sons, I understand.

"You two brothers should be in harmony and don't have any conflicts because of me.

Dakun, your brother is right. If the policy is relaxed in the future, you can go back to see me.

My mother is so old that she will never leave her hometown and go abroad again.

One day when I grow old, I will go down to accompany your father.

That kid Xiaoshui values ​​​​love and justice and takes good care of me. You don’t have to worry about me.

This favor is too heavy and you will never be able to pay it back.

Xiao Shui is also looking forward to your compensation.

That kid is very capable.

You really miss him and get along well with him. If he encounters any trouble when he comes to Hong Kong Island, help him if you can. "

Grandma Ding made her attitude clear.

"Help, definitely help, Mom, you don't know, my brother is also very capable.

I just don’t know when we can go back to see you. "

Ding Dakun hurriedly expressed his position, but his tone was very disappointed.

Ding Dafu: "Mom, it's not easy for you to come out, and there are some things that are not convenient to say on the phone.

There are just three of us, mother and son. Do you have anything to tell us? "

His eyes were full of expectation.

Ding Dakun: "Yes, Mom, if you have anything to tell us, just say it.

As long as we can do it, you will not be disappointed. "

Grandma Ding found a place on the cushion to lie down more comfortably and sighed softly:

"Is there anything else I can tell you now?

You are now grandfathers yourself, and you no longer need me to teach you about the ways of the world and how to deal with others.

I just hope that you will be safe and in harmony at home, and that the descendants of our Ding family will be able to stand up and be good people no matter where they are.

I am worthy of your father and worthy of the ancestors of the Ding family.

When I went to see your father, I also felt that my face was bright. "

Ding Dafu frowned, this was not what he wanted to hear.

In a blink of an eye, he looked at his younger brother Ding Dakun and assigned him:

"Xiao Shui just said that my mother likes to eat dried radish and tofu, so go and buy them.

There is also fermented bean curd, Mom, I remember you also like it. It goes well with porridge. "

Grandma Ding nodded: "You can let the grocery store bring it back, so Da Kun doesn't need to make a special trip, right?"

Ding Dakun was so scared by his brother's eyes that he stood up quickly:

"Mom, I'll go buy it. It's very convenient to drive."

He ran out.

"What should you say to avoid Dakun? Tell me."

Grandma Ding was not confused. She understood the eldest son's trick of deliberately trying to push away the younger son.

Ding Dafu did not hide his purpose and said straightforwardly:

"Mom, we are mother and son, I won't talk in circles.

I just can't bear to leave my old house at home, which is the root of our Ding family. I want to buy the house back from Xiao Shui. Sooner or later we have to go home.

Even if we can't go back, leaving it there is still a thought left for us.

Mom, this is not appropriate for us to say. Can you go talk to Xiao Shui? "

Grandma Ding sighed and closed her eyes, the air seemed to freeze.

After a moment of silence, Grandma Ding asked:

"Do you want to buy it back? At what price are you prepared to buy it back?"

"The price is easy to negotiate. When you sold it to him for five thousand yuan, you always said that Xiaoshui values ​​​​love and justice, so he shouldn't be open to us, the lion, right?

Just let him make the offer, I won't counter-offer. "

Ding Dafu said confidently.

Grandma Ding opened her eyes and looked at her son, shrewdness and doubt flashed in her cloudy eyes:

"Dafu, we can't use other people's love and justice to morally kidnap us.

I sold it to him for five thousand yuan, but have you ever thought about how much your mother's life is worth?

You remember selling the house for five thousand yuan, I told you, if there was no Xiaoshui, the house would have been blackmailed by the Qin family.

My old life is long gone.

Without the current meeting between mother and son, the house also changed its name and fell into the hands of evil people.

Dafu, tell me, how much money are you prepared to buy back from the little sailor?

Now that it is Xiao Shui's home, what qualifications do you have to ask him to sell his home to you? "
