Chapter 16
After entering the house, the second grandma was very happy to see Liu Qingshan coming. She hurriedly set a fire to boil water, preparing to beat Liu Qingshan a pot of good tea.
The second grandma is relatively thin and not tall. She has a head of short hair that is mostly white with ears and has a face full of age spots and folds, which looks older than her actual age.
Liu Qingshan said kindly: "Second grandma, stop busying, take a break, don't drink tea, just cook directly. I bought a bone fish here and two kilograms of pork. Let's cook directly."
The second grandma refused and took care of the stove and said, "How can that be? If you don't even drink a cup of tea, it won't work."
When you enter the house, you have to cook oil tea and entertain guests. This is the rule of the small mountain village and the rule of the vast majority of Yaoshan Mountain residents.
Of course, if you are from neighbors, you meet every day and visit each other every day, you naturally don’t need to follow this rule.
But Liu Qingshan has been out for almost a year, and after finally coming to the house, the second grandmother must take out her treasured Guyu tea to entertain Liu Qingshan.
The so-called Guyu tea is the only tea picked on the day of "Guyu" in the twenty-four solar terms can be called Guyu tea.
In the south, especially the Yao mountain people in the south who have made oil tea since ancient times, every year on the day of Guyu. No matter what the weather is, they will definitely go into the mountains to pick Guyu tea.
Guyu tea, also known as pre-rain tea, Erchun tea.
In spring, the temperature is moderate and the rainfall is abundant. After more than half a year of rest and recuperation, the buds and leaves of the spring shoots become plump and tender, green in color, soft in leaves, and rich in a variety of vitamins and amino acids. Therefore, the oil tea made from Grain Rain Tea tastes even more.
According to the elderly, the oil tea made from tea picked on the Guyu day will detoxify and remove fire, improve eyesight and clear intestines, and will also have more significant effects than ordinary oil tea.
Therefore, people cherish their own Guyu tea very much and hide them as treasures. Only when the rare guests come to visit will the owner be willing to take out Guyu tea to entertain. What they usually eat is oil tea made of ordinary tea.
But Liu Qingshan didn't care much about these things, he just wanted his second grandma to stop busying her work.
The second grandma refused.
Grandpa II also washed the freshly picked green onion and said, "That's how she is. Just let her be busy. Just sit and wait for tea to drink."
Liu Qingshan wanted to sit and rest, but how could he sit?
The three little kids are standing aside, can they sit safely?
Under the pressure of three pairs of bright big eyes, Liu Qingshan obediently took out a bag of milk candy from the plastic bag containing snacks that Liu Qingshan had never eaten before. He sent one from his hand and said, "I can only eat one milk candy a day. Do you know? If you eat too much, your teeth will be broken."
The two big ones could understand, and they left happily with the milk candy.
But Xiao's little one couldn't understand such a long sentence at all. He stuffed the milk candy into his mouth, chewed it hard for a few times, and then swallowed it, pointing at the milk candy in Liu Qingshan's hand and shouting: "Tangtang, Tangtang, Junjun eat Tangtang."
"Can't eat it." Liu Qingshan broke off his hand, looked at his big eyes, and said seriously, "Junjun, I can only eat one candy a day, otherwise my teeth will be bad. Are you afraid?"
Perhaps the little guy was scared a lot, and he was stunned when he heard that he was "bad teeth".
Liu Qingshan smiled proudly and thought to himself, Jiang is still so hot.
But the next second, the little guy immediately started crying, and twisted his body while crying, and shouted in his mouth: "Tangtang, Tangtang, Tangtang."
The ghost howling posture was definitely trembling with fear and those who saw it were shocked.
Liu Qingshan tried to continue to reason with him: "Military army cannot eat so much sugar, because their teeth are bad."
As he said that, he pointed at the little guy's mouth with his fingers.
But the little guy started crying, no matter how bad your teeth were. Anyway, if you can't get the candy, the deafening crying would not stop.
Seeing that the reasoning was ineffective, Liu Qingshan, a single dog, had no choice but to surrender obediently, and distributed a candy to the little guy. Then he quickly put the milk candy on a high place and said, "It's finished, nothing. Let's go, go and go, military army. Let's go out to play."
As he said that, he forced Junjun's hand to leave the kitchen with the newly bought toy.
The second grandma's tea was just brewed, and the second uncle happened to be back.
Uncle Er put down the firewood on his shoulder and saw Liu Qingshan, who was competing for toys with three children at the kitchen door, and smiled and said, "Qingshan, you are so old, why are you still competing for toys with children?"
Liu Qingshan said aggrievedly: "No, second uncle, they don't know how to play, I will teach them how to play."
As soon as these words came out, Huihui and Xuanxuan immediately shouted: "Who said we can't do it, we can do it."
After saying that, he snatched it up again.
The second grandfather shouted out from the kitchen: "Qingshan, don't pay attention to them, let them make trouble by themselves, come in and drink oil tea."
"Oh, OK. Second Uncle, I've had tea!"
After drinking tea, Liu Qingshan and his second uncle prepared supper together.
The two or three pounds of bone fish and two pounds of pork were all cooked in the pot, and the bowls and chopsticks were already arranged, but the uncle was not seen for a long time.
The aunt is a mute and can't speak, so no one knows where the uncle has gone.
However, Grandpa II guessed that he probably went to play cards at someone else, and he forgot his time.
"Don't worry about him, let's eat ours." Grandpa II said angrily, "If you don't do serious business all day long, you will know how to play cards and bet. What should you do when you eat? Eat it, eat all the dishes, don't leave it for him."
I had dinner from my second grandfather's house, and when I got home, my parents were still having dinner.
However, when the old couple saw that their son was back, they rushed to snatch the rice in the bowl, then threw away the bowls and chopsticks and ran to the living room to find their son.
My mother sat next to her son and asked with anticipation: "Qingshan, tell me, how much did it cost today?"
Seeing that his mother was as urgent as Yin Junzi, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but tease her: "Oh, mom, I don't know, I haven't calculated it yet."
Hearing this, my father was so anxious: "You are stupid, how many kilograms of bamboo shoots have you sold today, and then multiplied by the unit price, isn't it the total price?"
"Oh." Liu Qingshan nodded in a slight understanding and said, "I sold 234 kilograms of bamboo shoots today, and the unit price is about 9.5 yuan per kilogram. Dad, you are so smart, please help me calculate it."
When my father heard this, he quickly brought a small stool to sit down, pinched his fingers, and started to calculate it like a fortune teller: "I'll do it, one by one, one by two, two by two, two by four, two by three by six, two by nine is eighteen... three by nine... twenty-seven, four by nine, fifty-six..."
My father half-closed his eyes, as if he felt something was wrong.
He glanced at his son who was smiling and suddenly realized: "Baby, you're making fun of your dad. Tell me, how much did you buy today."
"Hahaha." Liu Qingshan laughed, "Dad, you are so funny. If you haven't learned math well, what does it have to do with me?"
"Qingshan, tell me how much it cost today. Mom can go clean the table and wash dishes." My mother pulled her son's hand, very anxious.
Liu Qingshan stopped teasing them and took out a plastic bag from his pocket. As soon as the plastic bag was opened, a stack of banknotes immediately bloomed like a multi-flower.
Looking at the neatly stacked bills, the old couple felt like huge waves in their hearts.
To be honest, if Liu Qingshan hadn't gone out to work, his father would have made money alone. Apart from food, clothing and expenses, he would not have saved a few hundred yuan in a year.
But the money in front of me looks like there are more than a thousand. How can this old couple not be excited?
