The Sweetness of the Seventies

Grandma Qi San raised her eyes to look at the rippling lake surface, as if reminiscing, and murmured to herself: "Liangzi came to Nanshi to go to college. He wrote to me for the first time, saying that he and his classmates went to Xuanwu Lake for fun and liked it here. He likes the water here and gets along well with his classmates. He said that when he graduates and earns money, he will take me and his father over to swim in the lake together. "

I see!

It’s not just the scenery that’s attractive, but also the people in it!

"It's windy here, let's go over there. There's a path, let's go for a walk." He Tiantian put the tricycle aside and helped Grandma Qi San to go over there and take a look.

Walking on the path and looking at the sparkling water, He Tiantian explained some things about Xuanwu Lake from time to time.

Old man Qi was listening to He Tiantian telling the story of Xuanwu Lake, while Grandma Qi San was mostly reminiscing, perhaps recalling the excitement and pride she felt when receiving her son's letter; or perhaps she was imagining her son visiting Xuanwu Lake. happy scene.

Although it is a sunny day today, it is very cold in winter, especially near the lake, and the wind is very strong.

After staying at the lake for half an hour, He Tiantian said: "Grandma, it's very cold here. Let's go back! Otherwise we'll catch a cold due to too much cold wind."

Although Grandma Qi San was reluctant to give up, she also knew that once she caught a cold at her age, her health would be much worse than before. In order not to cause trouble to He Tiantian and to live for a few more years, she cherished her life.

"Okay, go back. The lake is right here and you can see it anytime." Grandma Qi San said, "Let's go back."

He Tiantian originally wanted to take them to see other places, but seeing that Grandma Qi San was not very interested, she changed a route and slowly returned home.

On both sides of the road are sycamore trees that have lost their leaves. They are very thick and have light yellow spots of different colors on the trunks. From time to time, a few hair balls fall from the trees. If it is summer, the leaves of the French plane tree are so dense that even when the sun is at its strongest, it cannot leave even a single speck of light on the road.

As he walked, He Tiantian explained the surrounding trees and buildings.

From Grandma Qi San's expression, He Tiantian once again saw her falling into memories. Maybe Qi Shuliang once mentioned the origin of these sycamore trees in his letter.

Neither He Tiantian nor Old Qi disturbed Grandma Qi's memories.

Sometimes, being able to remember is also a kind of happiness!

It is these memories that Grandma Qi San has been able to survive until now, and even in the future. That strong heart becomes stronger after recalling it again and again.

Because memories are beautiful, and the things in your imagination are what your heart longs for. If it can be achieved, what a wonderful result it would be!

However, the dream of realizing all this is not to sigh, nor to feel sorry for oneself, nor to be anxious, but to live well, remain calm, work hard, persist, and wait all your life!

It is this attitude that Grandma Qi San hopes for when she comes, to spend her remaining years peacefully without any regrets!

Back home, He Tiantian made ginger soup first. Although it was a sunny day, it was very cold.

Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi are too old to be careless.

One person drank a bowl of brown sugar ginger water, the two old people listened to the radio in the house, and He Tiantian went to cook.

At noon, I drank a lot, made soft dough pancakes, stir-fried cabbage and tofu, and a bowl of pickles.

The dishes are simple but delicious and enough for three people. Although the He family's life is good, they can't eat and drink too much, and every meal must be planned. If you eat too much, you may be hungry later.

Except for the first few days, the food was better. Later, at the request of Grandma Qi San and Grandpa Qi, they kept it simple and saved it for the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, Grandma Qi San and Grandpa Qi have also lived through hard times and know how precious food is. As long as they are not hungry, they do not pursue exquisite meals.

In the afternoon, He Tiantian took Grandma Qi San for a walk around and said hello to the neighbors.

Old man Qi plays chess under the sun with the retired old men around him, and his life is quite relaxed.

After returning, He Tiantian will start preparing dinner and wait for her parents to come home for dinner. During this period, because He Tiantian went home, the Huo family also brought their food, cabbage, radishes, etc. to the He family and asked He Tiantian to prepare meals together.

Huo Zhekun is very busy at work, and Jiang Lifang is even busier as a doctor, and sometimes has to work night shifts. After a tiring day or night, I don’t want to cook at all when I come back. That was impossible before, but now that He Tiantian is a very skilled little cook, the couple no longer cook.

He Tiantian is very skillful and the dishes he cooks are all delicious and delicious.

After dinner, He Tiantian made wild chrysanthemum tea that she collected on the mountain and let the four elders rest. She was as busy as a little bee, taking over all the housework and humming a little tune while working.

Jiang Lifang was already embarrassed to come here to eat ready-made meals, and it would be even more embarrassing if she didn't help wash the dishes after eating.

"Tiantian, let me wash this bowl. Don't freeze your little hands and crack them." Jiang Lifang said, rolling up her sleeves and going to wash the dishes.

He Tiantian held a rag in her hand and quickly stopped her, saying, "Aunt Jiang, just go back and rest. I've already wet my hands, so don't do anything."

Jiang Lifang looked at He Tiantian who was wearing an apron. She was cute, cute, and so diligent. That was a hundred likes! If her son He Tiantian's marriage could be arranged now, she would do it now without any hesitation.

"Sister Jiang, don't do it. Tiantian doesn't need to wash either. I'll do it." Wang Shuping was about to squat down and finish washing. She couldn't bear to leave her daughter. Jiang Lifang was a guest, so she couldn't let anyone else do it.

He Tiantian stopped in front and said, "I'm an adult. I don't go to work. I just cook and do some housework. Don't argue with me. Go and take a break or do some needlework. I'll be here."

He Jingyu was drinking tea over there. When he heard his daughter's words, he called out, "You two come over here. Tiantian is filial to you, but she doesn't know how to enjoy herself!"

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Then we'll go over there. Let Tiantian do it here."

"Shuping, you have a good daughter!" Jiang Lifang said enviously. She also wanted to have such a daughter. However, she had a good son who caught up with He Tiantian early. In the future, he would also be a member of her family, a daughter-in-law, and they would live together for many years. It was better than a daughter!

"Haha, you're too kind." Wang Shuping sighed in her heart. No matter how good her daughter is, she will eventually get married, and your boy will get the chance when the time comes.

However, Wang Shuping only thought about this and didn't say it out loud. After all, the two are still young and haven't officially settled down. Who knows what will happen in the future!
