Chapter 8 Familiar yet Strange People
"You bad old man, why are you so careless at your age? This purple clay pot and cup are connected to the pot. I remember that it was a masterpiece that Lao Gu spent a lot of effort to recover for you from Yixing. You dropped it. , but there’s nothing you can do to make up for it, and you’ll have to feel bad again when the time comes.”
Shen Yueying came out of the kitchen carrying washed tomatoes and happened to see this scene.
"I knew it well, but my hand slipped just now."
Han Baochang was also shocked just now. This is his favorite. It is specially used to make green tea. After brewing it for so many years, this pot has acquired a natural and light tea fragrance. He usually can't put it down. If it is really broken, I'm sorry, I'll be heartbroken to death, and I'll be missed by Mr. Gu for a long time.
He carefully stroked the purple sand cup with his hand, and carefully looked at the little monkey on the cup rim to make sure there was no damage at all, and then he felt relieved.
He looked so cautious that he almost needed a magnifying glass to look at it.
"Old Han, do you still have slippery hands?"
Shen Yueying heard that Han Baochang refused to admit it, but was very careful with his hands, and couldn't help but expose him.
Facing his old wife's teasing, Han Baochang touched his neatly trimmed beard and pretended to be calm, "Hurry and get the fruit to the children."
Shen Yueying smiled, giving the old man some face. She placed the fruit basket on the coffee table and greeted Su Yun familiarly, "Yunyun, come and eat. This is what the aunt next door brought to you in the morning. What you grow in your yard is better than what is grown outside." It’s delicious.”
"Thank you grandma."
Su Yun thanked her obediently, pinched a tomato and put it into her mouth, then twisted another one and gave it to Han Jianing.
She turned around and said to Shen Yueying solemnly: "Grandma, it's not my fault that Grandpa's hands are slippery. Do you know what little Ningning said that was scary just now?"
The face is pretending to be deep and serious, and paired with the childish appearance, it looks a bit funny.
Han Jianing was carefully tasting the cherry tomatoes at this time and had no time to care.
It’s a sweet and sour taste with a refreshing fragrance. It’s a real pollution-free green food that I haven’t eaten in a long time.
"She said she wanted to take the exam at Zhejiang University!" Su Yun said loudly.
Shen Yueying was stunned for a moment and then clapped her hands, "Ning Ning is ambitious, so she has to work hard. The college entrance examination is only half a year away. Please tell your grandpa not to give you so much homework recently. Studying is more important."
"no!"
Han Jianing put down the cherry tomatoes and stood up excitedly, "I want to learn tie-dying from grandpa!"
Upon hearing this, Han Jianing instantly felt that the cherry tomatoes in her hands were no longer fragrant, and she felt anxious. This was the only thing she wanted to do now.
More important than the college entrance examination!
"Good boy, grandpa will be happy if you have this intention. Don't worry, grandpa can teach you the tie-dying technique at any time. Let's focus on the cultural class first."
Han Baochang looked pleased.
He didn't expect Han Jianing to care so much about tie-dyeing. Isn't he a natural inheritor?
His hands were shaking with excitement.
He was not able to give birth to a talented son to inherit this craft. Fortunately, his granddaughter was extremely talented. He was originally worried that she would reject it, but he did not expect that she would like it so much.
He put on a kind and kind smile and said, "Ning Ning, don't be in a hurry. Grandpa will teach you slowly."
Han Jianing bit her lip when she saw this. She wanted to say that she didn't want to learn slowly, but she also knew that she couldn't become a fat man by eating one bite.
Shen Yueying touched Han Jianing's head tenderly, "Don't work too hard, Ningning. In the past few days, you have been getting up early every morning to follow your grandfather without a day's rest. The lights in your room have been turned on very late at night. Cai Xi, look at how thin his face has become. If your mother finds out, don’t blame us for not taking good care of you."
Suddenly hearing her grandma mention her mother, Han Jianing was a little dazed, "Mom..."
Han Jianing could not remember the last time he saw his mother.
Not to mention that her mother was angry with her and her grandparents.
Han Jianing twitched the corner of her mouth to hide the sarcasm flashing in her eyes. After her parents divorced, she refused to let them appear in her life. At first, she lived with her mother for a while, but soon she discovered that her mother had a new one.
love life.
For Han Jianing, this is the deepest betrayal!
Originally, her father's matter was a thorn in Han Jianing's heart. She thought that from now on she and her mother would be the only ones dependent on each other.
She warned herself more than once in her heart that she must protect her mother, but in the end, she found that she was just a joke.
Later, she decided to go to Shanghai.
Being far away from everything in Wuzhen, she couldn't hear or see the things that bothered her.
Apart from meeting during the Chinese New Year, Han Jianing would only take the initiative to send a few greeting text messages during holidays.
At this time, her mother would treat her cautiously, but Han Jianing didn't need such caution at all. Rejection and rejection emanated from her bones.
After being a loner for many years, Han Jianing suddenly heard that her mother would blame her, which caused a different ripple in Han Jianing's heart.
"Why did you start to look sad when you heard about it, auntie? Where did Xiao Ningning go when she was so ambitious about taking the courage test of Zhejiang University?"
Su Yun lightly tapped Han Jianing's forehead.
"Ah, little Yunyun, you are seeking revenge with emotion!" Han Jianing covered his forehead and grinned.
But the sadness that had surfaced in my heart just now miraculously disappeared.
"What's wrong with me just avenging my personal revenge? Do you have anything to say? You even forgot about inviting me, so I can't even hit you!"
Su Yunjiao groaned.
Even if her soft facial features make a fierce expression, she is not intimidating.
The fierce breasts are a bit cute.
"Yes, I was wrong."
Han Jianing gave in quickly. She raised her hands to express surrender. She looked at her grandma and curled her lips and said, "Grandma, don't worry about my mother. She can just mind her own business."
Shen Yueying said disapprovingly: "Ning Ning, that's your mother, and she does it for your own good. She and your father can't continue to live together, but it doesn't change that they are your parents."
Han Jianing's eyes flashed with sadness as he listened to his grandma's earnest persuasion.
They don't think of me as their daughter.
She said innocently: "I know, grandma."
She stood up and pulled Shen Yueying, "Grandma, you promised to make layer cakes, but I'm already hungry."
Han Jianing touched his belly and stuck out his tongue playfully.
"Okay, okay, grandma, go and do it."
"Grandma, I'm here to help you too." Su Yun saw the opportunity and got involved.
"Yunyun is coming too." Shen Yueying was so coaxed that she smiled, but she still didn't remember what she wanted to say before.
The three of them went to the kitchen in a lively and sticky manner.
Han Baochang took a sip of tea. It was warm and had a delicate fragrance, just like the comfort brought by the first rain in spring.
He smacked his lips and said, "It is indeed the authentic Yuqian Longjing."
He put down the tea cup, looked at the commotion in the kitchen, patted his legs leisurely, and said with a look that understood everything: "When people get old, they like to hear good words, and they can't find the reason when they are coaxed."
But there is a certain sadness in this tone, like the patter of rain in Wuzhen, which penetrates my heart a little bit.
