Ba Zong's rural life [farming]
Chapter 100 Winter 19 [VIP]
Ruan Xishi was walking on the road, when he met people he knew, they asked him about the guests. Ruan Xishi didn't know how to explain, but also wanted to hide his background, so he continued to stay in the village, so he responded perfunctorily: "It's here." Discuss with me the leadership of our village school's teaching resources."
Hearing that it was related to the school, the villagers did not suspect him, and asked Ruan Xishi to negotiate with the leaders and ask them to help make the school in the village better.
Ruan Xishi was struggling on the way home, wondering if he would go home later, whether his biological parents were still waiting for him, or left in despair.If it's the former, he may feel troubled, but if it's the latter, he feels a little lost, and his whole person is extremely contradictory.
He turned on the way home, and saw the black Mercedes parked in front of his house from a distance, which meant that Xu Lixin and Pan Yao didn't leave.Ruan Xishi paused, unable to tell what it was like, she just sighed and walked home resignedly.
When he got closer, he saw Lu Ze digging in the vegetable field, and there was a man squatting in front of him, picking and picking in the field. He took a closer look, and was almost overwhelmed by the sense of disobedience in this picture, so he didn't know what to say good.
His pampered biological mother, who was well-dressed and well-dressed, was squatting on the ground at this time, her well-maintained hands were digging in the soil, making her whole body dusty, and her long hair, which was originally well tied, was also messed up by the frequent movements of bowing her head. Chaos, the brilliance of the lady has long since disappeared without a trace.
Ruan Xishi tightly pursed her lips, just as he didn't know why Pan Yao wanted to look for him at noon and disturbed his peaceful life, so he didn't know why Pan Yao condescended to work in the field.
Is this the so-called compensation?Ruan Xishi felt that he didn't need anyone's compensation. Although he lived in poverty for so many years, he didn't feel miserable at all. The behavior of his biological parents would only make him feel guilty and uneasy. Meaningless.
Hearing his footsteps, Lu Ze was the first to react, put down the shovel and turned to him and said, "You're back."
Ruan Xishi responded calmly.
When Pan Yao heard Ruan Xishi's voice, she didn't care that her hands and feet were still dirty, she quickly stood up from the ground, as if she wanted to maintain her image as a gentle mother in front of Ruan Xishi, she used her hands to straighten her messy hair and clothes , as a result, the mud sticking to her hands made her even more embarrassed.
She stood there in embarrassment, and said like Lu Ze: "Baby, you are back."
When Ruan Xishi saw how she made himself so nondescript, he couldn't complain at all, he sighed helplessly, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ze said, "The garlic heads are ripe, I'll dig them out."
Pan Yao immediately replied, "I thought he couldn't do it alone, so I came out to help him."
Ruan Xishi looked at Pan Yao's distressed appearance, a well-behaved lady who made herself like a village woman who was with dirty work all day long, helpless and distressed, he was not good at dealing with such complicated things relationship, so what I said was a bit straightforward.
"Why do you make yourself like this?"
Pan Yao was at a loss when she heard her son's reprimand, and replied dryly, "Mom just wants to experience your life here and see if you are doing well, so that mother can rest assured."
Hearing this, Ruan Xishi's attitude relaxed a bit. He realized that he had just said the complaining words, and added annoyedly: "I live here really well, don't worry, this place is not suitable for you. Where there are some things, it is better not to force them.”
Seeing Pan Yao's bewildered look, Ruan Xishi couldn't bear it, and walked over to her and said, "I'll pick it up too. After taking the garlic back, it's time to cook. You should eat here tonight."
Pan Yao saw that her son was still willing to let her stay at home for dinner, she was happy and said, "Okay, let mom help too, so hurry up."
Ruan Xishi didn't reject her anymore, she squatted next to him to pick up garlic with him.
Ruan Xishi dug out garlic from two dustpans in one piece, and put them to dry on the corridor, then fetched water for Pan Yao to wash her hands, and asked her to sit inside while he and Lu Ze made dinner.
Pan Yao rushed to say that she could cook and asked her to help. Ruan Xishi looked at her simple kitchen and said to her helplessly: "The kitchen is too small for three people, and there is a lot of oily smoke, which is not good for the skin. , you don’t know where everything is.”
Pan Yao nodded awkwardly when she heard the words, and reluctantly walked out of the kitchen, but instead of going back to the living room, she stood not far from the kitchen, but would not interfere with Ruan Xishi's cooking, quietly watching them Busy.
There were two figures crowded in the small kitchen, chatting and laughing from time to time, and the smell of food came out after a while.Although the place here is small and small, it is filled with the warmth of family life. Pan Yao felt bitter, and suddenly wondered whether it was the right decision for her to come here.
But she still wants to take Ruan Xishi away, and let Ruan Xishi live the rich life he should have enjoyed. Even if she can't do it now, she will always insist on it. More than ten years, until she can't walk anymore, I believe that one day her son will understand her painstaking efforts and go home with her.
There are no new dishes for dinner, and there are still very few ingredients available in the countryside. Every season, just those few dishes are cooked over and over again. Even if the chefs of five-star hotels come, they may not be able to cook anything. Fortunately, the guests didn't pick any tricks, and they had dinner in peace.
Although the weather is sunny these days, the day and night in the twelfth lunar month are always bright late and dark early. After dinner, the sky outside is almost completely dark.Generally speaking, if people in the village have guests at home, they often consider the roads are not easy to walk after dark, so they will keep the guests to stay at home for one night.
After Ruan Xishi packed the dishes, she was thinking about how to arrange accommodation for the three of them tonight. There was only one room available. If they were all women, they could still live together for a night, but there was a man among them, at least You need two rooms to arrange it.
In fact, when people in the village encounter such a situation that there are not enough rooms for guests, they will discuss with the neighbors they have a good relationship with. The owner will give up his room and go to the neighbor's house for a night. However, the situation of Ruan Xishi's family is a bit complicated.He is living with Lu Ze now, and his and Lu Ze's rooms are full of their daily necessities, which is not suitable for guests, especially since he and Lu Ze are still in the -yu-xi-du-home -Rectify-organize, more-more-fine-color-respect-please-close-note.It's a gay relationship, and it's a secret that can't be revealed to anyone, not even the biological parents.
It doesn't matter to him, he can just spend the night on the sofa in the living room, the problem is that he doesn't want Lu Ze to be wronged.Although the guests at home were his close relatives, before today, they were just strangers who had nothing to do with each other. Apart from blood relationship, they were no more important than Lu Ze in Ruan Xishi's heart.
After much deliberation, he decided to put down the sofa in the living room and arrange it as a bed, and asked the three of them to discuss who would sleep in the living room. It might be rude, but there was no way around it.
The sofas in the homes of people in the village are not as varied as those in the city. They are simply a few pieces of wood spliced together, divided into two parts, and have two functions.One is that part of the sofa can be folded as the back of the sofa, and the other part is used to sit on people. The other is that the whole sofa can be flattened to become a simple bed with a width of one meter, which can satisfy a person to lie on and sleep on.There is not much furniture in the village, and everyone just pursues practicality. Basically, every household has a sofa like this.
Ruan Xishi asked the guests for their opinions before tidying up the sofa, asking them who would like to spend the night in the living room.
When Pan Yao saw that he wanted to let them stay overnight, she was flattered for a while, then thought that the house is so big and there are only two rooms, if they stayed overnight, then Ruan Xishi would have to make do with Lu Ze all night.Pan Yao was reluctant to let Ruan Xishi be wronged, and she was wronged because of her. Although she really wanted to stay and spend more time with Ruan Xishi to cultivate her relationship, she still made up her mind and said: "We booked a hotel in the urban area, just go back to the urban area and live there. It’s troublesome, it’s not convenient for you to live here.”
Hearing what they said, Ruan Xishi breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little bit disappointed. He finally got used to having a few more people in the family, and suddenly had to leave again, so he had to admit that there would be a little gap in his heart.
Pan Yao looked disappointed when she saw Ruan Xi, and quickly explained: "Mom doesn't dislike your place, but is worried about causing trouble to you. If you want to sleep with Mom, Mom can take you to a hotel together. Or if you don't want to Mom, mom can still come to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, as long as you want to see mom, mom can come to you anytime and anywhere, mom will never let you be alone again. "
Ruan Xishi shook his head slowly, and said: "Then you guys should go back early, I'm afraid it will be dark for a while and it will be difficult to drive, so don't toss back and forth after you go back, you all have your own lives and jobs, there is no need to worry about it." Put it all on me, I really have a good life here, you don't have to worry about me."
When Pan Yao heard this, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry again. She took two steps forward, looked at Ruan Xishi sincerely and affectionately, and said solemnly: "To mother, you are more important than anything else, whether it is work or life, everything is important to you. I can leave it alone, Mom just wants to see you happy."
Ruan Xishi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I see, you guys hurry up, otherwise it will be dark, it's very cold here at night."
Pan Yao pretended to be relaxed and teased: "Okay, baby is worried that mother will catch a cold on the road, so mother will go now and come to see you tomorrow."
Facing her like this, Ruan Xishi couldn't say no to her, so she nodded in agreement.
After sending the three of them away, the house suddenly became quiet. Ruan Xishi silently cleaned the house once. After sweeping the garbage to the living room door, she took a broom and pestered it on the door, staring in the direction of the door.
Lu Ze boiled the bath water and came out to call him to take a bath. Seeing that he was in a daze, he probably knew what he was thinking. He recalled his consciousness softly, and said, "Baby, don't be dazed. Go get your clothes and take a bath."
Ruan Xishi let out a blank "Oh", and slowly went back to the room to look for clothes.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed together, Ruan Xishi was in a complicated mood, the whole person was depressed, the two of them didn't do anything, and they couldn't even get excited about kissing before going to bed.
Seeing that he couldn't sleep for a long time, Lu Ze patted him on the back and asked, "Are you still thinking about your parents?"
Ruan Xishi gave a low hum, wanted to talk to Lu Ze, but didn't know where to start.
Ruan Xishi would find his biological parents, which was something Ruan Xishi had never thought about before. He thought that he abandoned him because his family could not support him because he was sick.Maybe his parents are an ordinary couple in a certain village, they met on the road and didn't recognize them, but they didn't expect his parents to be such powerful characters, this kind of plot that only happens in TV dramas suddenly came In his head, it doesn't feel real to him anyway.
But he knew one thing, he was not abandoned by his parents, not only was he not, he was still deeply loved by his parents, which made him feel very satisfied.Although he often said when he was a child that he was a grandfather's child and didn't need parents, it was just a child's stubborn words to protect his self-esteem. He was actually very envious when he saw that other people's children had parents.
If they came to him earlier, when grandpa was still alive, then he would probably follow them on the condition of raising grandpa, so that grandpa could have a good living environment and medical treatment Conditions, will not leave him prematurely.
It's just that it's too late now. Grandpa has already buried himself in the ground and is connected with the land in the village. Ruan Xishi couldn't bear to let grandpa be left here alone, so no matter what conditions his biological parents offered him, he would not will get out of here.
Ruan Xishi felt very anxious. On the one hand, the parents who gave birth to him, and on the other hand, the grandfather who raised him. No matter who is kind to him, he is the object of filial piety. But in the current situation, he must be between his grandfather and his parents. If you choose grandpa, you will not be able to be filial to your parents. If you choose your parents, you will not be able to guard the land where grandpa is day and night.
All the grievances were born of entanglement, Ruan Xishi didn't really resent his parents, but the arrangement of fate for him, but he couldn't blame the sky, so he took the resentment out on his mother.Calm down at night and think about it, what I said and did during the day really shouldn't be what a son does to his mother.
Ruan Xishi felt ashamed of her impulsive anger, and didn't know how to face reality.
He held on to Lu Ze's clothes tightly, and asked in pain, "Brother Lu Ze, what should I do?"
Lu Ze comforted him gently and said, "According to your own mind, just don't let yourself regret it."
Ruan Xishi struggled and said: "I am reluctant to leave grandpa, but seeing her so sad, I feel very sad."
"She" refers to Pan Yao.
Lu Ze comforted him and said, "That proves that you are a filial child. No matter what choice you make, they will understand you."
Ruan Xishi thought about it all night, Lu Ze also accompanied him and coaxed him all night.
Fortunately, there is no need to go to class the next day, otherwise Ruan Xishi would stay up all night and fall asleep on the podium, which would delay the students' progress.
They didn't get up until noon the next day. The weather is cooling down a bit today, the sky is gloomy, and the north wind is blowing. It's not a good weather. Ruan Xishi puts on thick clothes, and Lu Ze cooks in the kitchen. The leftovers are fed to chickens and ducks.
Open the door and go out, it is very deserted outside, no one is willing to go out when it is cold, the road is empty, only the leaves blown by the wind, whirling in the air, a scene of cold winter.
Ruan Xishi fed the ducks, and then stood in front of the duck shed in a daze. He remembered what Pan Yao said to him when she left yesterday. Pan Yao said that she would come to see him today, but it was already at this point, and it was so cold, they should be won't come.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xishi didn't know whether she should feel relieved or lonely, she always felt empty in her heart, just like today.He sighed, and said to himself, anyway, after all these years, it is not difficult to live without his biological parents.
Because of the cold weather, the two got up late again, so they didn't go out to buy vegetables. Fortunately, they made sausages before, and they will be dried in the sun. Steaming them can be used as a day's meat and vegetables. Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze sat face to face On the dinner table, three dishes are enough for lunch.
The temperature did not warm up with the arrival of the afternoon, but became colder and colder. It is not surprising that the temperature will drop before the new year. After this period of coldness, it will warm up in the next few days of the New Year.
Ruan Xishi couldn't help being cold, so she brought a brazier to burn a pot of charcoal, and she nestled in the living room with Lu Ze to keep warm. There were all kinds of joys and sorrows on the TV. Ruan Xishi used to feel embarrassed by those exaggerated plots. I will watch it again, and then I will know What do you mean by "inspired by life".
The wind outside was howling, and it sounded very cold, but they sat in the house, surrounded by the brazier, and they didn't feel that cold.
Ruan Xishi pricked up his ears and asked, "Brother Lu Ze, did you hear anything?"
Lu Ze also listened intently, hesitantly said: "It seems that someone knocked on the door outside?"
When Ruan Xi saw that the voice Lu Ze heard was the same as her own, she was sure that someone was knocking on the door outside, his body made a decision before his brain, and went out to open the door without saying a word.
His footsteps were hurried, the closer he got to the door, the clearer the knocking sound, he wasn't sure if the person outside was Pan Yao, his hands were shaking when he opened the door.
With a sound of "squeak", Ruan Xishi opened the door, he slowly raised his head and looked at the person who came, it was indeed Pan Yao.
Pan Yao wore an inconspicuous down jacket today. Even so, her face and fingers were a little red when exposed to the cold wind. When she saw Ruan Xi, she showed a gentle and kind smile, and her eyebrows and eyes were frowned. wrinkled.
Ruan Xishi looked at her uncomfortably, and also noticed the wrinkles on her delicate face that symbolized age. He suddenly remembered that Pan Yao is not young this year, at least she is in her fifties. The women in the village are already objects of respect and love by the juniors.It's just that Pan Yao took good care of herself, so Ruan Xishi didn't realize her age for a while, thinking that she was still young and had a long life, and she could live a wonderful life even without herself.
He thought of the aunts in the village, who were so patient and filial to themselves, so why were they so harsh on their biological mother?
Ruan Xishi's nose was sore, and he didn't know if it was blown by the wind, so he sniffled and begged, "Come in quickly, a brazier is burning in the room, so it's warmer."
Pan Yao waited outside the door for a while. She thought Ruan Xishi was taking a nap, so she didn't dare to knock on the door loudly, for fear of disturbing his rest. She was not young anymore, and her body had also been hit. She stood in the cold wind for a long time, obviously very cold.Hearing that Ruan Xishi let her in, she was overjoyed, and before entering the door, she remembered that there were still things in her car that she wanted to give to Ruan Xishi, so she said, "Baby, wait a minute, mommy goes to the car to get some things."
Ruan Xishi had no choice but to wait for her, watching her open the carriage and take out large and small bags from it, which was too much for her to carry, and her already thin body was crumbling under the pressure.Ruan Xishi couldn't bear it, so she hurried over to help her get it, Pan Yao took the time to thank him, and took out all the things left in the car.
There are quite a lot of things, and Ruan Xishi can tell at a glance that they are all clothes, quilts and other daily necessities and food. He looked at Pan Yao puzzled, and Pan Yao received his gaze and explained: "The weather suddenly became cold today. Mom was afraid that you would be cold, so she went to the mall early in the morning to buy these things and brought them here for you, it took some time, and I just arrived now, will you forgive my mother for being late?"
Ruan Xishi's heart was brought alive by Pan Yao's words, his heart was beating powerfully, his blood was much warmer than usual, a stream of warm currents circulated throughout his body, he felt even the cold Not anymore.
He hurriedly lowered his head to prevent Pan Yao from seeing his emotions, and said with a choked voice, "You still come here by yourself in such a cold day."
Pan Yao smiled and said, "Because Mom made an appointment with you yesterday, so no matter what, you can't miss the appointment, but your dad has something to do, so he didn't come with Mom today, so don't blame him."
Ruan Xishi shook her head, helped her carry the things, and said to her, "Go in quickly, it's cold outside."
Because it was the second time to visit Ruan Xishi's house, Ruan Xishi's attitude was much more relaxed than yesterday, so Pan Yao was not as restrained as yesterday.She walked into the room, saw Lu Ze, and greeted him generously.
Lu Ze gave her a seat, got up and poured her a cup of hot water, Pan Yao put down the things in her hand, took the hot water and thanked him.
Holding the hot water in her hand, Pan Yao warmed up by the fire, her body finally warmed up.She noticed that although the house was still a simple one, it was unusually warm. There might be some psychological effect in it, but Pan Yao was still very moved.
After her body recovered, she opened the things she bought. Inside were some big-brand warm clothes and bedding and pillows. There was more than one set, and she even bought Lu Ze's.She can't favor one person over another, she can see that her son cares about the man he lives with, and it would be a bit embarrassing if she only buys it for her son but not for the people in the same house.
She said: "Mom has already ironed these clothes, so you can wear them directly. Mom doesn't know your exact size, so you buy them by appointment. If they don't fit, you can buy them again."
The fabrics and tailoring of these clothes are very good, they are very different from the cheap ones in the town, and the colors and styles are also acceptable to me. It can be seen that Pan Yao bought them for him with great care, rather than making a formality perfunctorily , and she also bought it for Lu Ze, such an equal attitude made Ruan Xishi's opinion of her change a bit, it is impossible not to be moved.
Pan Yao was still taking out the things she bought, and said as she took them: "This is a down quilt, very light and warm, the fabric will warm up when it touches the skin, it won't freeze you, you and Ah Ze are alone. Put it on, so that you won’t be cold when you sleep at night. And these are healthy snacks that young people love to eat. Mom also bought you milk powder. It’s warmer to drink milk powder in winter and won’t cause diarrhea.”
She babbled to Ruan Xishi, just like other mothers who worked hard for their children, Ruan Xishi's arms were full of snacks from her, feeling that the vacant part of her heart was also filled.
After sitting for a short time, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon. Pan Yao looked at Ruan Xishi several times reluctantly, then got up and said, "It's getting late, mom has to go back to the city, otherwise it's too dark to drive, mom Come see you again."
Ruan Xishi also stood up after hearing this, and he also looked back at Pan Yao, moving his mouth again and again, wanting to say something to persuade him to stay, but because he felt awkward and couldn't say it, he could only silently send Pan Yao outside the door.
It's getting colder outside and it's getting dark. Although it won't rain, it's scary to look at. Ruan Xishi watched Pan Yao walk to the front of the car. Compared with the domineering body of the Mercedes-Benz, Pan Yao looked even smaller, as if A gust of wind could blow her away.
Pan Yao had been roasting beside the brazier for a long time, she couldn't adapt to the cold outside for a while, she was coughed a few times by the wind, and she still resisted turning her head to say goodbye to Ruan Xishi.
Seeing her coughing non-stop, Ruan Xishi couldn't help but walk over under the condemnation of his conscience, looked at Pan Yao and said sincerely: "Why don't you stay with us tonight and go back tomorrow."
Pan Yao was a little moved when she heard the words, but she also thought that Ruan Xishi's house only had two rooms, and she would cause trouble to them if she stayed, making them even more annoying, so she hesitated and said: "But I didn't prepare any toiletries, would it be too troublesome to stay here?" you?"
Seeing that she had no intention of rejecting her, Ruan Xishi said, "It's not a problem. I'll go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it for you later. You can go back to your room and sit down. You'll be cooking later."
Seeing Ruan Xishi's enthusiastic expression, Pan Yao's heart warmed up, and she was very moved and said, "Okay, thank you baby."
Ruan Xishi and Pan Yao went back and forth, and Lu Ze, who was preparing rice for cooking in the kitchen, was not surprised to see him, so he went back and added another cup of rice. Ruan Xishi settled Pan Yao, took the money and told her and Lu Ze: "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, and I'll see if the salesman is still there, and I'll come back with some groceries."
Lu Ze nodded and said he understood, while Pan Yao told him to slow down on the road.
Ruan Xishi went to the supply and marketing agency to buy personal daily necessities such as toothbrushes, cups, towels, and buckets. When Uncle He met him, he thought of the Mercedes-Benz that had been at Ruan Xishi's house for the past two days, and asked, "Shizai, are you coming to your house? What’s the origin, I drive a Mercedes-Benz every day.”
Ruan Xishi still couldn't get used to the fact that he suddenly had biological parents, so when Uncle He asked him who came from his family, he didn't know how to introduce him for a while, so he could only reply stammeringly: "Just a guest, come and do something thing."
Seeing what he said, Uncle He thought so, and didn't ask further questions. Uncle He is not a gossip person.
After buying a bunch of used things, when I went out, I saw a salesman driving a tricycle passing by, Ruan Xishi hurriedly called him to stop.
The salesman has been in the mobile business for so many years, and he has long practiced the ability to see six directions and listen to all directions. When he hears someone calling him, he will stop on the side of the road, get down and open his shelves, and see people walking by. It was Ruan Xishi who still had a lot of things in his hand, so he greeted him and said, "Shizi, you came to the supply and marketing agency to buy things, did you buy so much?"
Ruan Xishi replied: "Yes, I was planning to go to the street below to see if you were there after shopping, but I just happened to meet you."
The salesman smiled and said, "That's right, it's too cold today, I don't plan to come out to sell things, but thinking about it, many people are too lazy to go out today, I just came out for the convenience of everyone, although it's a bit late, but I just met you. What kind of food do you want to buy and eat at home tonight?"
Ruan Xishi glanced at the shelves and asked, "What else do you have today?"
The salesman pointed to the dishes on his car and said, "No, that's all. Salt-baked chicken, white-cut chicken, roasted duck, char siu, chicken feet and chicken wings, and a roasted pig's trotter. You shouldn't have to buy greens. I remember your dishes." There are a lot of them planted in the ground.”
Ruan Xishi didn't know what Pan Yao liked to eat, but she couldn't eat too poorly, so she told the salesman, "Then I want half a white-cut chicken and half a pig's trotter."
The salesman chopped chicken and pig's trotters for him and asked with a smile, "Why did you buy so many vegetables tonight? Can you and Ah Ze finish it all?"
Ruan Xishi smiled and said, "Buy it back first, let's talk if you can't finish it."
After buying good things, Ruan Xishi hurried home, he will go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables in a while.
When he got home, he gave the meat and vegetables to Lu Ze, and then brought the newly bought daily necessities into the house to show Pan Yao whether they fit. up.
Pan Yao also wanted Ruan Xi to drink saliva to warm up the fire, but Ruan Xi turned around and went out again, saying that she was going to pick vegetables in the vegetable field. Seeing that he was so busy, Pan Yao was too embarrassed to sit and wait for food, and wanted to go with him Go to the vegetable garden.
Ruan Xishi couldn't hold her back, so she took a basket and took her with her.
Although it is winter now, the vegetable garden is still green. The lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, spinach, carrot, and pea sprouts that Ruan Xishi planted are all growing well, looking like a treasure garden.
When Pan Yao entered the vegetable field, she immediately sighed, "Baby, did you grow these vegetables? It's amazing."
Ruan Xishi nodded in embarrassment, then squatted on the ground and began to pick pea shoots.
Pan Yao also squatted down and watched him pick a few at the beginning of the day, and learned to pick a few. While picking, she asked Ruan Xishi if she picked it like this.
Ruan Xishi patiently taught her: "When you see the long ones, pick them off, don't pick them too deep, only the soft parts, otherwise it will be hard to chew."
Pan Yao listened to him and picked a lot for him.
The vegetables for the soup were picked, but the vegetables for frying were not yet available. Ruan Xishi didn't know what to pick, so she asked Pan Yao for her opinion: "Do you like lettuce or carrots, or spinach and lettuce?"
Pan Yao hurriedly said: "I can do it, you can pick whatever you like."
Ruan Xishi pulled out two carrots and a lettuce and fried them together at home.
Winter 19[VIP].2
Back home, Lu Ze was cooking salt-baked chicken and pig's trotters in the kitchen. Pan Yao could smell the smell of meat as soon as she entered the door. It was even more delicious than the dishes she ate in the big hotel, so she couldn't help but look forward to dinner.
Ruan Xishi rolled up her sleeves to wash the vegetables, Pan Yao also wanted to help, Ruan Xishi saw her well-maintained hands, and didn't want her to be frozen and cracked by cold water, but she insisted on helping, Ruan Xishi had no choice but to ask her to help give carrots and lettuce peeled.
Originally thought that a noble lady like her should keep her fingers clear of yangchunshui, but Pan Yao's peeling technique is not bad.Ruan Xishi was a little worried that she would cut her hand, but after watching him for a while, Pan Yao smiled and explained: "Don't underestimate Mom, Mom can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. It's empty, mom will cook for you."
After saying this, Pan Yao felt a little embarrassed again. Whether Ruan Xishi would like to eat her cooking was still a question, so she planned to do so.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xishi nodded to save face, and replied softly: "Okay."
After hearing this, Pan Yao was so happy that she dropped the knife.
The meal in the evening was much richer than the one that Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze had at noon. There was a plate of braised pork trotters, a plate of sliced chicken with ginger and scallions, fried carrots with lettuce, and pea sprout soup.
Pan Yao sat down happily, and said to Lu Ze who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time: "Ah Ze has worked hard, you have cooked so many dishes, you should eat more later."
Lu Ze said with a smile: "It's not hard, I hope these dishes can satisfy your appetite."
Ruan Xishi served the meal, and the three of them took their seats and ate around the small dining table. The atmosphere was nice and warm, and it felt like a family eating together.
Pan Yao first picked up a piece of chicken for Ruan Xishi, and then a piece of pig's trotter for Lu Ze, then picked up a chopstick of fried lettuce for herself, and said to them, "Come on, eat quickly, eat more meat."
When Ruan Xishi saw that she was eating meat while she was eating meat for them, she thought she felt restrained and dared not eat meat, so she said to her aloud, "You should also eat more meat, you can't resist the cold just by eating vegetarian."
Seeing that Ruan Xishi cared so much about herself, Pan Yao smiled happily and said, "Mom knows how to eat meat, but mom is used to eating vegetarian dishes first, so eat yours quickly, don't worry about mom."
Ruan Xishi saw that this was her personal habit, so she didn't say much, but after a meal, Pan Yao sandwiched meat very few times, Ruan Xishi was a little worried, and directly moved the two meat dishes in front of her. Said anxiously: "You eat more meat."
Seeing that her son was anxious for her, Pan Yao said dumbfoundingly: "It's okay, mom is eating, but mom is old and not in good health, so you can't eat too much greasy meat. Just eat it."
Ruan Xishi had never heard of such fallacies. Pan Yao has such a thin body, and if she doesn't eat meat, where does she get her energy?Moreover, the elderly village women in the village who do not like to eat meat are in good health, and it is not necessarily that they eat meat to eat something wrong.
It is very likely that Pan Yao is reluctant to eat meat and wants to leave the meat to him.
The more Ruan Xishi thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Looking at the plate of chicken, he suddenly remembered that he and his grandfather had watched a health show before, and the host said that chicken breast meat is high in protein and low in fat, and it is the most suitable for dieters and health-preserving people. of.So he glanced at the thickest piece of meat without skin on the plate. If he guessed right, it must be chicken breast, then put it in Pan Yao's bowl, and said uncompromisingly: "Then you eat this piece." Chicken breast, this one is not greasy."
Pan Yao was very moved, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you baby for bringing food to mom."
Ruan Xishi was embarrassed by her loving eyes, and after giving her the meat, she went back to eat his meal.
Pan Yao carefully tasted the meat that Ruan Xishi picked for her, and couldn't help laughing while eating.
After dinner, Lu Ze rejected Pan Yao's offer to help clean up the dishes. Ruan Xishi called out to Pan Yao, who was about to follow Lu Ze to the kitchen to wash dishes, and said to her, "I'll make your bed, come in and see how you want to make it." Bar."
Pan Yao didn't expect Ruan Xishi to care so much about her, she immediately turned back and followed Ruan Xishi into the room.
Ruan Xishi took a set of quilts that Pan Yao bought today into his original room, took off the autumn quilts on the bed, and worked together with Pan Yao to spread the new quilts.
Pan Yao asked uneasily: "Mom lives in your room tonight, so are you going to sleep on the sofa in the living room?"
Ruan Xishi said: "No, I can sleep in the same room with Brother Lu Ze, and you can sleep here with peace of mind."
Pan Yao still felt a little inappropriate: "Will the two of you sleep uncomfortable if you two squeeze together? Would Ah Ze mind?"
Ruan Xishi thought that he had been sharing the bed with Lu Ze for such a long time, and he had done everything he should and shouldn't do, so he wouldn't mind, but he didn't dare to tell Pan Yao like this, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept it, He shook his head and said, "Brother Lu Ze won't mind, you just
Hearing that it was related to the school, the villagers did not suspect him, and asked Ruan Xishi to negotiate with the leaders and ask them to help make the school in the village better.
Ruan Xishi was struggling on the way home, wondering if he would go home later, whether his biological parents were still waiting for him, or left in despair.If it's the former, he may feel troubled, but if it's the latter, he feels a little lost, and his whole person is extremely contradictory.
He turned on the way home, and saw the black Mercedes parked in front of his house from a distance, which meant that Xu Lixin and Pan Yao didn't leave.Ruan Xishi paused, unable to tell what it was like, she just sighed and walked home resignedly.
When he got closer, he saw Lu Ze digging in the vegetable field, and there was a man squatting in front of him, picking and picking in the field. He took a closer look, and was almost overwhelmed by the sense of disobedience in this picture, so he didn't know what to say good.
His pampered biological mother, who was well-dressed and well-dressed, was squatting on the ground at this time, her well-maintained hands were digging in the soil, making her whole body dusty, and her long hair, which was originally well tied, was also messed up by the frequent movements of bowing her head. Chaos, the brilliance of the lady has long since disappeared without a trace.
Ruan Xishi tightly pursed her lips, just as he didn't know why Pan Yao wanted to look for him at noon and disturbed his peaceful life, so he didn't know why Pan Yao condescended to work in the field.
Is this the so-called compensation?Ruan Xishi felt that he didn't need anyone's compensation. Although he lived in poverty for so many years, he didn't feel miserable at all. The behavior of his biological parents would only make him feel guilty and uneasy. Meaningless.
Hearing his footsteps, Lu Ze was the first to react, put down the shovel and turned to him and said, "You're back."
Ruan Xishi responded calmly.
When Pan Yao heard Ruan Xishi's voice, she didn't care that her hands and feet were still dirty, she quickly stood up from the ground, as if she wanted to maintain her image as a gentle mother in front of Ruan Xishi, she used her hands to straighten her messy hair and clothes , as a result, the mud sticking to her hands made her even more embarrassed.
She stood there in embarrassment, and said like Lu Ze: "Baby, you are back."
When Ruan Xishi saw how she made himself so nondescript, he couldn't complain at all, he sighed helplessly, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ze said, "The garlic heads are ripe, I'll dig them out."
Pan Yao immediately replied, "I thought he couldn't do it alone, so I came out to help him."
Ruan Xishi looked at Pan Yao's distressed appearance, a well-behaved lady who made herself like a village woman who was with dirty work all day long, helpless and distressed, he was not good at dealing with such complicated things relationship, so what I said was a bit straightforward.
"Why do you make yourself like this?"
Pan Yao was at a loss when she heard her son's reprimand, and replied dryly, "Mom just wants to experience your life here and see if you are doing well, so that mother can rest assured."
Hearing this, Ruan Xishi's attitude relaxed a bit. He realized that he had just said the complaining words, and added annoyedly: "I live here really well, don't worry, this place is not suitable for you. Where there are some things, it is better not to force them.”
Seeing Pan Yao's bewildered look, Ruan Xishi couldn't bear it, and walked over to her and said, "I'll pick it up too. After taking the garlic back, it's time to cook. You should eat here tonight."
Pan Yao saw that her son was still willing to let her stay at home for dinner, she was happy and said, "Okay, let mom help too, so hurry up."
Ruan Xishi didn't reject her anymore, she squatted next to him to pick up garlic with him.
Ruan Xishi dug out garlic from two dustpans in one piece, and put them to dry on the corridor, then fetched water for Pan Yao to wash her hands, and asked her to sit inside while he and Lu Ze made dinner.
Pan Yao rushed to say that she could cook and asked her to help. Ruan Xishi looked at her simple kitchen and said to her helplessly: "The kitchen is too small for three people, and there is a lot of oily smoke, which is not good for the skin. , you don’t know where everything is.”
Pan Yao nodded awkwardly when she heard the words, and reluctantly walked out of the kitchen, but instead of going back to the living room, she stood not far from the kitchen, but would not interfere with Ruan Xishi's cooking, quietly watching them Busy.
There were two figures crowded in the small kitchen, chatting and laughing from time to time, and the smell of food came out after a while.Although the place here is small and small, it is filled with the warmth of family life. Pan Yao felt bitter, and suddenly wondered whether it was the right decision for her to come here.
But she still wants to take Ruan Xishi away, and let Ruan Xishi live the rich life he should have enjoyed. Even if she can't do it now, she will always insist on it. More than ten years, until she can't walk anymore, I believe that one day her son will understand her painstaking efforts and go home with her.
There are no new dishes for dinner, and there are still very few ingredients available in the countryside. Every season, just those few dishes are cooked over and over again. Even if the chefs of five-star hotels come, they may not be able to cook anything. Fortunately, the guests didn't pick any tricks, and they had dinner in peace.
Although the weather is sunny these days, the day and night in the twelfth lunar month are always bright late and dark early. After dinner, the sky outside is almost completely dark.Generally speaking, if people in the village have guests at home, they often consider the roads are not easy to walk after dark, so they will keep the guests to stay at home for one night.
After Ruan Xishi packed the dishes, she was thinking about how to arrange accommodation for the three of them tonight. There was only one room available. If they were all women, they could still live together for a night, but there was a man among them, at least You need two rooms to arrange it.
In fact, when people in the village encounter such a situation that there are not enough rooms for guests, they will discuss with the neighbors they have a good relationship with. The owner will give up his room and go to the neighbor's house for a night. However, the situation of Ruan Xishi's family is a bit complicated.He is living with Lu Ze now, and his and Lu Ze's rooms are full of their daily necessities, which is not suitable for guests, especially since he and Lu Ze are still in the -yu-xi-du-home -Rectify-organize, more-more-fine-color-respect-please-close-note.It's a gay relationship, and it's a secret that can't be revealed to anyone, not even the biological parents.
It doesn't matter to him, he can just spend the night on the sofa in the living room, the problem is that he doesn't want Lu Ze to be wronged.Although the guests at home were his close relatives, before today, they were just strangers who had nothing to do with each other. Apart from blood relationship, they were no more important than Lu Ze in Ruan Xishi's heart.
After much deliberation, he decided to put down the sofa in the living room and arrange it as a bed, and asked the three of them to discuss who would sleep in the living room. It might be rude, but there was no way around it.
The sofas in the homes of people in the village are not as varied as those in the city. They are simply a few pieces of wood spliced together, divided into two parts, and have two functions.One is that part of the sofa can be folded as the back of the sofa, and the other part is used to sit on people. The other is that the whole sofa can be flattened to become a simple bed with a width of one meter, which can satisfy a person to lie on and sleep on.There is not much furniture in the village, and everyone just pursues practicality. Basically, every household has a sofa like this.
Ruan Xishi asked the guests for their opinions before tidying up the sofa, asking them who would like to spend the night in the living room.
When Pan Yao saw that he wanted to let them stay overnight, she was flattered for a while, then thought that the house is so big and there are only two rooms, if they stayed overnight, then Ruan Xishi would have to make do with Lu Ze all night.Pan Yao was reluctant to let Ruan Xishi be wronged, and she was wronged because of her. Although she really wanted to stay and spend more time with Ruan Xishi to cultivate her relationship, she still made up her mind and said: "We booked a hotel in the urban area, just go back to the urban area and live there. It’s troublesome, it’s not convenient for you to live here.”
Hearing what they said, Ruan Xishi breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little bit disappointed. He finally got used to having a few more people in the family, and suddenly had to leave again, so he had to admit that there would be a little gap in his heart.
Pan Yao looked disappointed when she saw Ruan Xi, and quickly explained: "Mom doesn't dislike your place, but is worried about causing trouble to you. If you want to sleep with Mom, Mom can take you to a hotel together. Or if you don't want to Mom, mom can still come to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, as long as you want to see mom, mom can come to you anytime and anywhere, mom will never let you be alone again. "
Ruan Xishi shook his head slowly, and said: "Then you guys should go back early, I'm afraid it will be dark for a while and it will be difficult to drive, so don't toss back and forth after you go back, you all have your own lives and jobs, there is no need to worry about it." Put it all on me, I really have a good life here, you don't have to worry about me."
When Pan Yao heard this, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry again. She took two steps forward, looked at Ruan Xishi sincerely and affectionately, and said solemnly: "To mother, you are more important than anything else, whether it is work or life, everything is important to you. I can leave it alone, Mom just wants to see you happy."
Ruan Xishi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I see, you guys hurry up, otherwise it will be dark, it's very cold here at night."
Pan Yao pretended to be relaxed and teased: "Okay, baby is worried that mother will catch a cold on the road, so mother will go now and come to see you tomorrow."
Facing her like this, Ruan Xishi couldn't say no to her, so she nodded in agreement.
After sending the three of them away, the house suddenly became quiet. Ruan Xishi silently cleaned the house once. After sweeping the garbage to the living room door, she took a broom and pestered it on the door, staring in the direction of the door.
Lu Ze boiled the bath water and came out to call him to take a bath. Seeing that he was in a daze, he probably knew what he was thinking. He recalled his consciousness softly, and said, "Baby, don't be dazed. Go get your clothes and take a bath."
Ruan Xishi let out a blank "Oh", and slowly went back to the room to look for clothes.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed together, Ruan Xishi was in a complicated mood, the whole person was depressed, the two of them didn't do anything, and they couldn't even get excited about kissing before going to bed.
Seeing that he couldn't sleep for a long time, Lu Ze patted him on the back and asked, "Are you still thinking about your parents?"
Ruan Xishi gave a low hum, wanted to talk to Lu Ze, but didn't know where to start.
Ruan Xishi would find his biological parents, which was something Ruan Xishi had never thought about before. He thought that he abandoned him because his family could not support him because he was sick.Maybe his parents are an ordinary couple in a certain village, they met on the road and didn't recognize them, but they didn't expect his parents to be such powerful characters, this kind of plot that only happens in TV dramas suddenly came In his head, it doesn't feel real to him anyway.
But he knew one thing, he was not abandoned by his parents, not only was he not, he was still deeply loved by his parents, which made him feel very satisfied.Although he often said when he was a child that he was a grandfather's child and didn't need parents, it was just a child's stubborn words to protect his self-esteem. He was actually very envious when he saw that other people's children had parents.
If they came to him earlier, when grandpa was still alive, then he would probably follow them on the condition of raising grandpa, so that grandpa could have a good living environment and medical treatment Conditions, will not leave him prematurely.
It's just that it's too late now. Grandpa has already buried himself in the ground and is connected with the land in the village. Ruan Xishi couldn't bear to let grandpa be left here alone, so no matter what conditions his biological parents offered him, he would not will get out of here.
Ruan Xishi felt very anxious. On the one hand, the parents who gave birth to him, and on the other hand, the grandfather who raised him. No matter who is kind to him, he is the object of filial piety. But in the current situation, he must be between his grandfather and his parents. If you choose grandpa, you will not be able to be filial to your parents. If you choose your parents, you will not be able to guard the land where grandpa is day and night.
All the grievances were born of entanglement, Ruan Xishi didn't really resent his parents, but the arrangement of fate for him, but he couldn't blame the sky, so he took the resentment out on his mother.Calm down at night and think about it, what I said and did during the day really shouldn't be what a son does to his mother.
Ruan Xishi felt ashamed of her impulsive anger, and didn't know how to face reality.
He held on to Lu Ze's clothes tightly, and asked in pain, "Brother Lu Ze, what should I do?"
Lu Ze comforted him gently and said, "According to your own mind, just don't let yourself regret it."
Ruan Xishi struggled and said: "I am reluctant to leave grandpa, but seeing her so sad, I feel very sad."
"She" refers to Pan Yao.
Lu Ze comforted him and said, "That proves that you are a filial child. No matter what choice you make, they will understand you."
Ruan Xishi thought about it all night, Lu Ze also accompanied him and coaxed him all night.
Fortunately, there is no need to go to class the next day, otherwise Ruan Xishi would stay up all night and fall asleep on the podium, which would delay the students' progress.
They didn't get up until noon the next day. The weather is cooling down a bit today, the sky is gloomy, and the north wind is blowing. It's not a good weather. Ruan Xishi puts on thick clothes, and Lu Ze cooks in the kitchen. The leftovers are fed to chickens and ducks.
Open the door and go out, it is very deserted outside, no one is willing to go out when it is cold, the road is empty, only the leaves blown by the wind, whirling in the air, a scene of cold winter.
Ruan Xishi fed the ducks, and then stood in front of the duck shed in a daze. He remembered what Pan Yao said to him when she left yesterday. Pan Yao said that she would come to see him today, but it was already at this point, and it was so cold, they should be won't come.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xishi didn't know whether she should feel relieved or lonely, she always felt empty in her heart, just like today.He sighed, and said to himself, anyway, after all these years, it is not difficult to live without his biological parents.
Because of the cold weather, the two got up late again, so they didn't go out to buy vegetables. Fortunately, they made sausages before, and they will be dried in the sun. Steaming them can be used as a day's meat and vegetables. Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze sat face to face On the dinner table, three dishes are enough for lunch.
The temperature did not warm up with the arrival of the afternoon, but became colder and colder. It is not surprising that the temperature will drop before the new year. After this period of coldness, it will warm up in the next few days of the New Year.
Ruan Xishi couldn't help being cold, so she brought a brazier to burn a pot of charcoal, and she nestled in the living room with Lu Ze to keep warm. There were all kinds of joys and sorrows on the TV. Ruan Xishi used to feel embarrassed by those exaggerated plots. I will watch it again, and then I will know What do you mean by "inspired by life".
The wind outside was howling, and it sounded very cold, but they sat in the house, surrounded by the brazier, and they didn't feel that cold.
Ruan Xishi pricked up his ears and asked, "Brother Lu Ze, did you hear anything?"
Lu Ze also listened intently, hesitantly said: "It seems that someone knocked on the door outside?"
When Ruan Xi saw that the voice Lu Ze heard was the same as her own, she was sure that someone was knocking on the door outside, his body made a decision before his brain, and went out to open the door without saying a word.
His footsteps were hurried, the closer he got to the door, the clearer the knocking sound, he wasn't sure if the person outside was Pan Yao, his hands were shaking when he opened the door.
With a sound of "squeak", Ruan Xishi opened the door, he slowly raised his head and looked at the person who came, it was indeed Pan Yao.
Pan Yao wore an inconspicuous down jacket today. Even so, her face and fingers were a little red when exposed to the cold wind. When she saw Ruan Xi, she showed a gentle and kind smile, and her eyebrows and eyes were frowned. wrinkled.
Ruan Xishi looked at her uncomfortably, and also noticed the wrinkles on her delicate face that symbolized age. He suddenly remembered that Pan Yao is not young this year, at least she is in her fifties. The women in the village are already objects of respect and love by the juniors.It's just that Pan Yao took good care of herself, so Ruan Xishi didn't realize her age for a while, thinking that she was still young and had a long life, and she could live a wonderful life even without herself.
He thought of the aunts in the village, who were so patient and filial to themselves, so why were they so harsh on their biological mother?
Ruan Xishi's nose was sore, and he didn't know if it was blown by the wind, so he sniffled and begged, "Come in quickly, a brazier is burning in the room, so it's warmer."
Pan Yao waited outside the door for a while. She thought Ruan Xishi was taking a nap, so she didn't dare to knock on the door loudly, for fear of disturbing his rest. She was not young anymore, and her body had also been hit. She stood in the cold wind for a long time, obviously very cold.Hearing that Ruan Xishi let her in, she was overjoyed, and before entering the door, she remembered that there were still things in her car that she wanted to give to Ruan Xishi, so she said, "Baby, wait a minute, mommy goes to the car to get some things."
Ruan Xishi had no choice but to wait for her, watching her open the carriage and take out large and small bags from it, which was too much for her to carry, and her already thin body was crumbling under the pressure.Ruan Xishi couldn't bear it, so she hurried over to help her get it, Pan Yao took the time to thank him, and took out all the things left in the car.
There are quite a lot of things, and Ruan Xishi can tell at a glance that they are all clothes, quilts and other daily necessities and food. He looked at Pan Yao puzzled, and Pan Yao received his gaze and explained: "The weather suddenly became cold today. Mom was afraid that you would be cold, so she went to the mall early in the morning to buy these things and brought them here for you, it took some time, and I just arrived now, will you forgive my mother for being late?"
Ruan Xishi's heart was brought alive by Pan Yao's words, his heart was beating powerfully, his blood was much warmer than usual, a stream of warm currents circulated throughout his body, he felt even the cold Not anymore.
He hurriedly lowered his head to prevent Pan Yao from seeing his emotions, and said with a choked voice, "You still come here by yourself in such a cold day."
Pan Yao smiled and said, "Because Mom made an appointment with you yesterday, so no matter what, you can't miss the appointment, but your dad has something to do, so he didn't come with Mom today, so don't blame him."
Ruan Xishi shook her head, helped her carry the things, and said to her, "Go in quickly, it's cold outside."
Because it was the second time to visit Ruan Xishi's house, Ruan Xishi's attitude was much more relaxed than yesterday, so Pan Yao was not as restrained as yesterday.She walked into the room, saw Lu Ze, and greeted him generously.
Lu Ze gave her a seat, got up and poured her a cup of hot water, Pan Yao put down the things in her hand, took the hot water and thanked him.
Holding the hot water in her hand, Pan Yao warmed up by the fire, her body finally warmed up.She noticed that although the house was still a simple one, it was unusually warm. There might be some psychological effect in it, but Pan Yao was still very moved.
After her body recovered, she opened the things she bought. Inside were some big-brand warm clothes and bedding and pillows. There was more than one set, and she even bought Lu Ze's.She can't favor one person over another, she can see that her son cares about the man he lives with, and it would be a bit embarrassing if she only buys it for her son but not for the people in the same house.
She said: "Mom has already ironed these clothes, so you can wear them directly. Mom doesn't know your exact size, so you buy them by appointment. If they don't fit, you can buy them again."
The fabrics and tailoring of these clothes are very good, they are very different from the cheap ones in the town, and the colors and styles are also acceptable to me. It can be seen that Pan Yao bought them for him with great care, rather than making a formality perfunctorily , and she also bought it for Lu Ze, such an equal attitude made Ruan Xishi's opinion of her change a bit, it is impossible not to be moved.
Pan Yao was still taking out the things she bought, and said as she took them: "This is a down quilt, very light and warm, the fabric will warm up when it touches the skin, it won't freeze you, you and Ah Ze are alone. Put it on, so that you won’t be cold when you sleep at night. And these are healthy snacks that young people love to eat. Mom also bought you milk powder. It’s warmer to drink milk powder in winter and won’t cause diarrhea.”
She babbled to Ruan Xishi, just like other mothers who worked hard for their children, Ruan Xishi's arms were full of snacks from her, feeling that the vacant part of her heart was also filled.
After sitting for a short time, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon. Pan Yao looked at Ruan Xishi several times reluctantly, then got up and said, "It's getting late, mom has to go back to the city, otherwise it's too dark to drive, mom Come see you again."
Ruan Xishi also stood up after hearing this, and he also looked back at Pan Yao, moving his mouth again and again, wanting to say something to persuade him to stay, but because he felt awkward and couldn't say it, he could only silently send Pan Yao outside the door.
It's getting colder outside and it's getting dark. Although it won't rain, it's scary to look at. Ruan Xishi watched Pan Yao walk to the front of the car. Compared with the domineering body of the Mercedes-Benz, Pan Yao looked even smaller, as if A gust of wind could blow her away.
Pan Yao had been roasting beside the brazier for a long time, she couldn't adapt to the cold outside for a while, she was coughed a few times by the wind, and she still resisted turning her head to say goodbye to Ruan Xishi.
Seeing her coughing non-stop, Ruan Xishi couldn't help but walk over under the condemnation of his conscience, looked at Pan Yao and said sincerely: "Why don't you stay with us tonight and go back tomorrow."
Pan Yao was a little moved when she heard the words, but she also thought that Ruan Xishi's house only had two rooms, and she would cause trouble to them if she stayed, making them even more annoying, so she hesitated and said: "But I didn't prepare any toiletries, would it be too troublesome to stay here?" you?"
Seeing that she had no intention of rejecting her, Ruan Xishi said, "It's not a problem. I'll go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it for you later. You can go back to your room and sit down. You'll be cooking later."
Seeing Ruan Xishi's enthusiastic expression, Pan Yao's heart warmed up, and she was very moved and said, "Okay, thank you baby."
Ruan Xishi and Pan Yao went back and forth, and Lu Ze, who was preparing rice for cooking in the kitchen, was not surprised to see him, so he went back and added another cup of rice. Ruan Xishi settled Pan Yao, took the money and told her and Lu Ze: "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, and I'll see if the salesman is still there, and I'll come back with some groceries."
Lu Ze nodded and said he understood, while Pan Yao told him to slow down on the road.
Ruan Xishi went to the supply and marketing agency to buy personal daily necessities such as toothbrushes, cups, towels, and buckets. When Uncle He met him, he thought of the Mercedes-Benz that had been at Ruan Xishi's house for the past two days, and asked, "Shizai, are you coming to your house? What’s the origin, I drive a Mercedes-Benz every day.”
Ruan Xishi still couldn't get used to the fact that he suddenly had biological parents, so when Uncle He asked him who came from his family, he didn't know how to introduce him for a while, so he could only reply stammeringly: "Just a guest, come and do something thing."
Seeing what he said, Uncle He thought so, and didn't ask further questions. Uncle He is not a gossip person.
After buying a bunch of used things, when I went out, I saw a salesman driving a tricycle passing by, Ruan Xishi hurriedly called him to stop.
The salesman has been in the mobile business for so many years, and he has long practiced the ability to see six directions and listen to all directions. When he hears someone calling him, he will stop on the side of the road, get down and open his shelves, and see people walking by. It was Ruan Xishi who still had a lot of things in his hand, so he greeted him and said, "Shizi, you came to the supply and marketing agency to buy things, did you buy so much?"
Ruan Xishi replied: "Yes, I was planning to go to the street below to see if you were there after shopping, but I just happened to meet you."
The salesman smiled and said, "That's right, it's too cold today, I don't plan to come out to sell things, but thinking about it, many people are too lazy to go out today, I just came out for the convenience of everyone, although it's a bit late, but I just met you. What kind of food do you want to buy and eat at home tonight?"
Ruan Xishi glanced at the shelves and asked, "What else do you have today?"
The salesman pointed to the dishes on his car and said, "No, that's all. Salt-baked chicken, white-cut chicken, roasted duck, char siu, chicken feet and chicken wings, and a roasted pig's trotter. You shouldn't have to buy greens. I remember your dishes." There are a lot of them planted in the ground.”
Ruan Xishi didn't know what Pan Yao liked to eat, but she couldn't eat too poorly, so she told the salesman, "Then I want half a white-cut chicken and half a pig's trotter."
The salesman chopped chicken and pig's trotters for him and asked with a smile, "Why did you buy so many vegetables tonight? Can you and Ah Ze finish it all?"
Ruan Xishi smiled and said, "Buy it back first, let's talk if you can't finish it."
After buying good things, Ruan Xishi hurried home, he will go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables in a while.
When he got home, he gave the meat and vegetables to Lu Ze, and then brought the newly bought daily necessities into the house to show Pan Yao whether they fit. up.
Pan Yao also wanted Ruan Xi to drink saliva to warm up the fire, but Ruan Xi turned around and went out again, saying that she was going to pick vegetables in the vegetable field. Seeing that he was so busy, Pan Yao was too embarrassed to sit and wait for food, and wanted to go with him Go to the vegetable garden.
Ruan Xishi couldn't hold her back, so she took a basket and took her with her.
Although it is winter now, the vegetable garden is still green. The lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, spinach, carrot, and pea sprouts that Ruan Xishi planted are all growing well, looking like a treasure garden.
When Pan Yao entered the vegetable field, she immediately sighed, "Baby, did you grow these vegetables? It's amazing."
Ruan Xishi nodded in embarrassment, then squatted on the ground and began to pick pea shoots.
Pan Yao also squatted down and watched him pick a few at the beginning of the day, and learned to pick a few. While picking, she asked Ruan Xishi if she picked it like this.
Ruan Xishi patiently taught her: "When you see the long ones, pick them off, don't pick them too deep, only the soft parts, otherwise it will be hard to chew."
Pan Yao listened to him and picked a lot for him.
The vegetables for the soup were picked, but the vegetables for frying were not yet available. Ruan Xishi didn't know what to pick, so she asked Pan Yao for her opinion: "Do you like lettuce or carrots, or spinach and lettuce?"
Pan Yao hurriedly said: "I can do it, you can pick whatever you like."
Ruan Xishi pulled out two carrots and a lettuce and fried them together at home.
Winter 19[VIP].2
Back home, Lu Ze was cooking salt-baked chicken and pig's trotters in the kitchen. Pan Yao could smell the smell of meat as soon as she entered the door. It was even more delicious than the dishes she ate in the big hotel, so she couldn't help but look forward to dinner.
Ruan Xishi rolled up her sleeves to wash the vegetables, Pan Yao also wanted to help, Ruan Xishi saw her well-maintained hands, and didn't want her to be frozen and cracked by cold water, but she insisted on helping, Ruan Xishi had no choice but to ask her to help give carrots and lettuce peeled.
Originally thought that a noble lady like her should keep her fingers clear of yangchunshui, but Pan Yao's peeling technique is not bad.Ruan Xishi was a little worried that she would cut her hand, but after watching him for a while, Pan Yao smiled and explained: "Don't underestimate Mom, Mom can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. It's empty, mom will cook for you."
After saying this, Pan Yao felt a little embarrassed again. Whether Ruan Xishi would like to eat her cooking was still a question, so she planned to do so.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xishi nodded to save face, and replied softly: "Okay."
After hearing this, Pan Yao was so happy that she dropped the knife.
The meal in the evening was much richer than the one that Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze had at noon. There was a plate of braised pork trotters, a plate of sliced chicken with ginger and scallions, fried carrots with lettuce, and pea sprout soup.
Pan Yao sat down happily, and said to Lu Ze who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time: "Ah Ze has worked hard, you have cooked so many dishes, you should eat more later."
Lu Ze said with a smile: "It's not hard, I hope these dishes can satisfy your appetite."
Ruan Xishi served the meal, and the three of them took their seats and ate around the small dining table. The atmosphere was nice and warm, and it felt like a family eating together.
Pan Yao first picked up a piece of chicken for Ruan Xishi, and then a piece of pig's trotter for Lu Ze, then picked up a chopstick of fried lettuce for herself, and said to them, "Come on, eat quickly, eat more meat."
When Ruan Xishi saw that she was eating meat while she was eating meat for them, she thought she felt restrained and dared not eat meat, so she said to her aloud, "You should also eat more meat, you can't resist the cold just by eating vegetarian."
Seeing that Ruan Xishi cared so much about herself, Pan Yao smiled happily and said, "Mom knows how to eat meat, but mom is used to eating vegetarian dishes first, so eat yours quickly, don't worry about mom."
Ruan Xishi saw that this was her personal habit, so she didn't say much, but after a meal, Pan Yao sandwiched meat very few times, Ruan Xishi was a little worried, and directly moved the two meat dishes in front of her. Said anxiously: "You eat more meat."
Seeing that her son was anxious for her, Pan Yao said dumbfoundingly: "It's okay, mom is eating, but mom is old and not in good health, so you can't eat too much greasy meat. Just eat it."
Ruan Xishi had never heard of such fallacies. Pan Yao has such a thin body, and if she doesn't eat meat, where does she get her energy?Moreover, the elderly village women in the village who do not like to eat meat are in good health, and it is not necessarily that they eat meat to eat something wrong.
It is very likely that Pan Yao is reluctant to eat meat and wants to leave the meat to him.
The more Ruan Xishi thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Looking at the plate of chicken, he suddenly remembered that he and his grandfather had watched a health show before, and the host said that chicken breast meat is high in protein and low in fat, and it is the most suitable for dieters and health-preserving people. of.So he glanced at the thickest piece of meat without skin on the plate. If he guessed right, it must be chicken breast, then put it in Pan Yao's bowl, and said uncompromisingly: "Then you eat this piece." Chicken breast, this one is not greasy."
Pan Yao was very moved, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you baby for bringing food to mom."
Ruan Xishi was embarrassed by her loving eyes, and after giving her the meat, she went back to eat his meal.
Pan Yao carefully tasted the meat that Ruan Xishi picked for her, and couldn't help laughing while eating.
After dinner, Lu Ze rejected Pan Yao's offer to help clean up the dishes. Ruan Xishi called out to Pan Yao, who was about to follow Lu Ze to the kitchen to wash dishes, and said to her, "I'll make your bed, come in and see how you want to make it." Bar."
Pan Yao didn't expect Ruan Xishi to care so much about her, she immediately turned back and followed Ruan Xishi into the room.
Ruan Xishi took a set of quilts that Pan Yao bought today into his original room, took off the autumn quilts on the bed, and worked together with Pan Yao to spread the new quilts.
Pan Yao asked uneasily: "Mom lives in your room tonight, so are you going to sleep on the sofa in the living room?"
Ruan Xishi said: "No, I can sleep in the same room with Brother Lu Ze, and you can sleep here with peace of mind."
Pan Yao still felt a little inappropriate: "Will the two of you sleep uncomfortable if you two squeeze together? Would Ah Ze mind?"
Ruan Xishi thought that he had been sharing the bed with Lu Ze for such a long time, and he had done everything he should and shouldn't do, so he wouldn't mind, but he didn't dare to tell Pan Yao like this, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept it, He shook his head and said, "Brother Lu Ze won't mind, you just
