The Sweetness of the Seventies

When Westerners eat, they also have a habit of sharing their food.

All the dishes on the table are served in portions. Whatever you want to eat, the servant next to you will pick it out and put it on the plate in front of you.

When you're done eating, pick up another one.

When Grandma Qi San was a child, she remembered that it was like this when there were maids to serve her at home. It was not surprising.

Eat without talking, sleep without talking!

Grandma Qi San didn't say anything when she saw other people. She also didn't say anything. She ate seriously and enjoyed the happiness and satisfaction brought by the food.

Ouch, it tastes so good. I haven’t eaten such delicious food in many years!

This time when she comes to Country M, she will eat everything she wants and try delicious food she has never tasted before.

Oops, you can’t even eat this dish in China! This time I followed Grandma Qi San here, which was a real treat.

After dinner, Grandma Qi San patted Anna's hand and said, "Thank you Anna, I like this dinner very much."

Hearing Grandma Qi San's compliment, Anna beamed. This was her affirmation and said: "Mom, it's my honor that you like it! Country H has the habit of drinking tea after dinner. If there is tea at home, I will give it to you. Make tea!”

Grandma Qi San smiled and said: "Anna, you can rest for a while. I brought hawthorn and jujube that I collected at home, soaked them in hot water, and put some honey in them, which helps digestion and is very good. I invite Try it!"

He Tiantian smiled and said, "I'll get it right now!"

He Tiantian knew that Grandma Qi San usually had the habit of drinking chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea, and also liked to drink hawthorn and jujube honey water after meals, so she brought some when she came.

On the way, Grandma Qi San praised He Tiantian for his thoughtfulness.

He Tiantian went to the house, took some hawthorn and wild dates, washed them in hot water, and then poured boiling water to soak them.

After a while, the sour smell came, and the hot air had a sweet and sour taste.

He Tiantian put a little honey in the quilt and took out a cup for each person.

Qi Shuliang couldn't wait to bring a glass, took a sip, and tasted the taste carefully: "I haven't tasted something like this in how many years!"

"Try it, Anna. If you don't like it, don't drink it. It's okay. Don't force it." Grandma Qi San smiled, worried that her daughter-in-law wouldn't like it, but she was embarrassed to say it.

Anna took a sip, tasted it and said, "It's sour and sweet, like juice, and it tastes good. Tony once said he liked to drink hawthorn water. I bought some for him to drink, but he said it didn't taste like that."

"Yes, the taste is indeed different." Qi Shuliang insisted, it was the taste of his hometown.

Anna nodded, even though she thought in her heart, it actually tasted the same, there was no difference!

But then I thought about it, my husband has always missed his hometown, maybe this lacks the taste of hometown!

After drinking some hawthorn water, Grandma Qi San stood up and said, "Shu Liang, I want to go for a walk with you!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Qi Shuliang agreed and stepped forward to support his mother.

"Mom, wait a minute, I'll get you a coat to put on. It's a bit cold outside at night." Anna thought very thoughtfully and quickly went upstairs, took a mid-length coat and put it on Grandma Qi San, "Let's go Be back soon, it’s cold outside!”

After speaking, Anna hugged Grandma Qi San.

Grandma Qi San rarely got so close to others. She was just slightly stunned, accepted Anna's hug, hugged Anna with her backhand, and patted Anna's slender back gently.

So fine.

Qi Shuliang helped his mother out for a walk, while Anna asked Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin to chat with He Tiantian.

"No, I want to go up and rest. You have been with me all day today, so it's time for you to have a good rest." He Tiantian said, not wanting to trouble them too much.

Furthermore, we had just met, so those pleasantries had already been said, and there was not much left to say.

Let’s talk about it later when we become familiar with it.

He Tiantian returned to the room, took a bath, put on her pajamas, took a book, and lay on the bed to read.

Soft lighting, clean and tidy room, like a dream.

About an hour later, He Tiantian heard Grandma Qi San's voice and came over to help take care of Grandma Qi San and help her sleep.

Just as He Tiantian was about to leave, Grandma Qi San stopped him and said, "Tiantian, don't leave!"

"What's wrong, grandma?" He Tiantian sat on the bedside with a smile, "What do you want to tell me?"

"When I first came here, I inevitably neglected you. Don't think too much about it! You are just like my granddaughter. Really, I am telling the truth. I will never forget the time when I was the most helpless and the most miserable. When there is no hope, you are by my side." Grandma Qi San said, Qi Zhengmin is her granddaughter, and she can love her instinctively.

However, she recognized He Tiantian's granddaughter and had a deep affection for her. She didn't want He Tiantian to misunderstand her.

"Grandma, don't worry." He Tiantian persuaded, "I know everything. I am very happy that you can reunite with your relatives and I will not be disappointed."

Seeing that He Tiantian didn't seem to be faking it, Grandma Qi San was slightly relieved.

"That's good." Grandma Qi San agreed, "By the way, Tiantian, I asked Shuliang if you want to go to school here, he will arrange it for you."

Grandma Qi San always felt that it was a pity that He Tiantian did not go to school and worked in the countryside.

He Tiantian shook her head and said, "Although I want to go to school, I prefer to be with my parents. As you know, it's such a mess now, and my parents are such simple people. I don't feel relieved if I'm not around."

If you don’t go to school, you can study by yourself; but if you lose your loved ones, they will never come back.

This is He Tiantian’s innermost thoughts!

When she was reborn, she just wanted her parents to be safe and her family to live a safe life. As for the rest, we would talk about it later.

Anyway, in the future, the college entrance examination will be resumed in China, so she can just go to school again.

"Hey, it's up to you. I think it's a pity that a good girl like you doesn't study." Grandma Qi San said with emotion.

"It's a pity, family is the most important thing." He Tiantian said, "By the way, grandma, are you ready to stay here?"

Grandma Qi San looked around, thought for a while, and said: "No, you stay here with me for a while, and then we will go back together. I have lived in Qijia Village for so long, and that is my root. I can't not going back."

Returning fallen leaves to their roots is the simplest thought of the older generation.

"Okay, I'll stay here with you for a while. If you change your mind, you can tell me." He Tiantian said, "It's getting late, so go to bed early."

"Okay, you've worked hard too, go to bed early." Grandma Qi San nodded and watched He Tiantian leave.

This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. In fact, when she asked those questions, Grandma Qi San knew that He Tiantian would not stay.

She has a son, a grandson, and a granddaughter here, but she is unwilling to stay, let alone He Tiantian whose relatives are in China.
