summer fireworks

Although there are only her and grandma in Song Zhilin's family, there is indeed a strong sense of the year.

Couplets and blessings were pasted on the door, window grilles were pasted on the windows, the tablecloth on the dining table was changed to bright red, ears of wheat were placed beside the TV cabinet, and Chinese knots were hung on the wall.

After eating, they took grandma to the supermarket to buy things together.

Grandma Song is old, but her legs and feet are still quite flexible, and her enthusiasm for shopping in the supermarket is no less than that of young people.

Song Zhilin and Yan Shu were pushing a shopping cart alone, and followed Grandma Song. Seeing Grandma Song's clear thinking, one cart contained cooked food and the other fresh food. Seeing that there were more and more things in the cart, Yan Shu handed it to Song Zhilin. A glance:

— Do you need so many things?

Song Zhilin shook her head, with a smile on her face, and said "no need" to her eyes, but said with her mouth, "Grandma, what else are we missing? Buy them all."

Yan Shu couldn't bear it anymore, leaned close to Song Zhilin, and asked her in a low voice, "Can you really finish eating so much?"

Song Zhilin said in a softer voice: "I can't finish eating, as long as grandma is happy with it."

Grandma Song stopped after buying two shopping carts, and happily went to the cashier to line up.

Stuffing a lot of things into the trunk, Grandma Song sighed, "How could I buy so many things during Chinese New Year before?"

Song Zhilin closed the back cover of the car and said with a smile, "I can buy it in the future."

Rarely had time, they simply took Grandma Song out for dinner.

The restaurant was chosen by Yan Shu. He chose an old restaurant in the city. The seafood and seafood are very good.

When Song Zhilin called to make an appointment, the restaurant manager said that the seat was already reserved for next month. She covered the phone and whispered to Yan Shu, "There are no seats left."

Yan Shu only hesitated for a second before reaching out to her, "I'll do it."

She answered the phone, reported a series of numbers to the manager, and said, "Okay, it's scheduled for six o'clock in the evening."

Song Zhilin raised her eyebrows, knowing that it was Yan Shu's membership card or something else that provided VIP treatment, so she just said "OK" and continued driving.

Yan Shu looked out the window, and gradually became familiar with the scenery on the roadside, and headed towards the restaurant where she had eaten many times.

Although she didn't want to have anything to do with her family anymore, and she didn't want to use the treatment she had received from her family, but if it was to make Song Zhilin happy, Yan Shu didn't think it was that hard to accept.

Yan Shu knew very well in her heart that her break with her family might have been two-way at first, but now it is definitely her unilateral desire to draw a clear line.

At the Chamber of Commerce dinner, her parents' attitude was obviously relaxed.

As long as she is willing to continue to be their good daughter, she must still have everything she once had.

She is no longer willing.Yan Shu looked at the trees that quickly passed by outside the window, and said silently in his heart.

The gate of the restaurant is very grand, Grandma Song came here for the first time, and after entering the box, she was surprised and said: "This restaurant is really luxurious."

Hearing what grandma said, Song Zhilin suddenly realized that she hadn't taken grandma out for dinner after being back for so long.

When she first returned to City B, Song Zhilin spent three days taking her grandma to visit the famous scenic spots. What she thought at the time was that grandma had lived in City B all her life, so she couldn't have never been to these places.

Eating is all about convenience. I eat at a nearby shopping mall. I have never made an appointment at an old-fashioned restaurant like this to bring my grandma out for dinner.

A deep sense of guilt rose in Song Zhilin's heart. She herself was not interested in eating, drinking, and having fun, so she took it for granted that others were not, and she never even thought that she should take grandma out to try these prestigious restaurants.

Mingming's grandma likes to study and cook at home, which shows that she is very interested in eating...

It was Yan Shu who brought grandma out for dinner today. Fortunately, there is Yan Shu, otherwise I don't know when I will find out about it.

Song Zhilin couldn't help but blame herself for not being careful.

Beside her, Yan Shu was pointing to the pictures on the menu, reading the names of the dishes one by one to grandma, introducing the taste and texture of each dish, and recommending grandma some special dishes.

Song Zhilin looked at them, and suddenly felt that it was the right thing to bring Yan Shu back for the New Year.

Grandma Song and Yan Shu ordered a few special dishes, stewed chicken in spring water, stir-fried pork with bracken and wild mushrooms, crab roe, millet tofu, boiled cabbage heart, stir-fried pork bun with blueberry yam and chili, and also ordered a rice with whole grains, They are all favorite dishes of the elderly.

Grandma Song said with a smile while drinking tea, "I also eat the steamed buns in this big restaurant. What's the difference between them and ours?"

"Of course it's because you made it delicious." Yan Shu's words were sweeter than honey, which made Grandma Song laugh non-stop. "Their steamed buns are just fresh."

The restaurant is very efficient and the food is served quickly.

The spring water stewed chicken soup is clear and transparent, and it is a bright golden color with a slight oily sheen. You can see pieces of light yellow chicken that are cut evenly in the bowl. It is so tender that it will melt in your mouth when you bite it. It looks delicious.

Grandma Song fell in love with it as soon as she tasted it, and praised repeatedly: "This is good, it's easy to bite, and it's not oily."

Yan Shu waited for her to finish the soup, scooped a spoonful of crab roe and millet tofu for her, and said with a smile, "Grandma, try this, this is my favorite."

Grandma Song took a bite as she said, and the millet tofu melted in the mouth. It was cooked with crab roe for a long time, soaked in the taste of crab roe, fragrant and fresh, and it was even more delicious when mixed with rice.

Grandma Song said while eating, "This is delicious too. The crab roe is fragrant. When Zhilin was young, the small crabs I bought at the vegetable market couldn't make this taste."

Yan Shu said, "Next time I buy crabs for you, I will make sure they taste like this."

Crab roe, millet tofu is not difficult, you can make it if you buy the right ingredients. The small crabs that Grandma Song bought back then were not so yellow, they didn’t even have much meat. After picking up a pound of crabs, there was only a small dish of meat , After cooking with millet tofu, it is just to add some meaty taste to millet tofu.

Those kind of small crabs are everywhere in the river. When the fishermen’s children were playing by the river, they took buckets to fish for pocket money. I don’t know how much cheaper it is than meat. Song Zhilin added some nutrition.

The crabs that Yan Shu mentioned are of course carefully raised hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake. Let alone making millet tofu, steaming them is already delicious.

Grandma Song has been cooking meals all her life, so she naturally knows the key to it, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyan is really sensible."

The little girl looks clumsy, but she has a good heart.

After eating most of the meal, the wowotou finally came up.

As soon as the waiter brought it up, Grandma Song said enthusiastically, "I'll try this, how is it different from the one at home?"

She took a cornbread and said, "This cornbow is so soft."

The surface of the Wowotou is golden, and it is made of cornmeal, which is soft in the hand and has no weight. Grandma Song breaded a spoonful of chili fried meat in it, and the soft dough immediately absorbed the oil of the fried meat, staining it. The oily steamed buns suddenly looked more attractive.

Grandma Song took a bite, the soft and glutinous steamed bread mixed with spicy fried meat immediately ignited her appetite.

She ate one bun, but still felt that it was not enough, and wanted to eat another one, but was afraid that it would be late, and she would not be able to digest it, and would accumulate food after eating.

Seeing grandma's tangled face, Song Zhilin served her a bowl of soup and advised, "Grandma, just come and eat next time."

Grandma Song nodded and said, "For those who celebrate the New Year, pack it up and let it go, no."

After eating too much for dinner, Song Zhilin and Yan Shu took their grandma to a nearby shopping mall for a while to digest their food.

When passing by the gold jewelry store, Song Zhilin and Yan Shu looked at each other, and tacitly led grandma into it.

"Grandma, for the Chinese New Year, I'll buy you a bracelet." Song Zhilin said, let grandma sit in front of the counter, and asked the cabinet sister to bring her a box of gold bracelets to choose from.

Grandma Song didn't have much jewelry in her life. Most of them were given to her by Grandpa Song when she got married. They were not new jewelry, but jewelry handed down from Grandpa Song's family.

The other pieces of jewelry are the gold bracelets that Song Zhilin sent back when she didn't come back for the New Year these years.

Grandma Song smiled from ear to ear, and stretched out her wrist to try on the bracelet for the cabinet sister: "Why did you come back to celebrate the New Year, and you still bought me a bracelet."

"Why don't you buy it when you come back?"

Song Zhilin's eyes were sore. She bought the bracelet for grandma, and she did have a little intention of making up for not being by her side, but asking grandma to say that made people feel extremely sad.

"I'll buy it when I get back. You choose it yourself."

Yan Shu sat on the side, quickly picked up a gold bracelet, put it on Grandma Song's wrist, and said, "Yes, yes, of course I want to buy it."

She looked at Grandma Song sincerely and said, "I'll buy one for you too."

Grandma Song fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, and said to Yan Shu with a smile, "There's no reason for you to give a meeting gift."

After all, Grandma Song said to the cabinet sister: "Bring some jewelry suitable for young people, and I will give it to my granddaughter-in-law."

Yan Shu didn't think of this. Hearing these words, his face turned red like an apple.

Song Zhilin didn't expect grandma to say it so openly, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet for a while, so she rarely said in a panic, "Grandma... grandma?"

Grandma Song had two bracelets on her wrists. She was sitting on Song Zhilin and Yan Shu on the other side. She held each hand and said with a loving smile, "Xiao Yan, come to our house next year to celebrate the New Year."

Song Zhilin and Yan Shu were unprepared, quite at a loss as if their parents had caught them in an underground affair.

Yan Shu didn't dare to look up at her, but lowered his head and stammered, "Okay, okay."

The cabinet sister is obviously someone who has seen the big world, and in the jewelry box she brought, in addition to the bracelet and necklace, there is actually a ring!

The cabinet sister stood in front of them with professionalism, gave them an introduction, and finally made a serious recommendation: "Miss, [-]% off the engagement ring during the Chinese New Year, do you want to think about it?"
