    ?

    Come on, it's almost like cold water.  It's not as good as water mixed with sugar.

    However, after a careful aftertaste, there is a faint milk fragrance wafting out.  After making this discovery, I was even more delighted. Fortunately, I didn't take it away, otherwise it would be a pity.

    Sweet, delicious, with a milky aftertaste, this should be the best natural drink I've ever had.

    "Ren Tao, go to your grandpa and call your grandpa (great-grandmother, our hometown is called grandpa) and your father to come over, just say that your uncle and the others are here, and call her to come over for lunch."

    "Okay, right now" I put the empty bowl on the stove and went out.

    There is only one wall between Grandpa Yao¡¯s house and us, but the gates of our two families face different directions.  After going out, you have to go through a bamboo forest and a small forest to reach Grandpa Yao's house.

    "Zuzu, my uncle and aunt are here, let's go have lunch." As soon as I entered the door, I said to Zuzu who was sitting on the side of the street.

    Great-grandmother was born in 1910 and is 86 years old this year.  A few years ago, my health was very good, and I could help with cooking, cooking and so on.  In the past two years, my health has not been very good, and I have been unable to complete many basic tasks by myself.

    In fact, I have a big reason for this.  When I was just born, my great-grandmother was very fond of me.  Because in the thinking of the older generation, patriarchy is still more serious.  So I was born as a baby in the eyes of my great-grandmother.

    That year, my great-grandmother took me by the hand and played in the yard of my grandpa¡¯s house, and I yelled for her to carry me on her back.  Great-grandmother looked at me with loving eyes, and without saying a word, she squatted down and carried me on her back.  As a result, he didn't take a few steps, slipped and fell on the ground at the corner of the yard.  There is a steel pipe well in the corner, which is the source of water for Grandpa Yao¡¯s house. It is here to collect water and wash vegetables. The water flowing out wets the ground. After a long time, this area is covered with moss and very slippery.

    Great-grandmother slipped on her foot and fell to the ground with herself and me.  I'm okay, the pain lasted for a while, and it passed.  But the great-grandmother broke her leg.  Under such circumstances, I was able to endure the pain of broken bones to see if I was injured, and I blamed myself for fear of breaking me.

    Since this incident, my great-grandmother has been getting worse and worse.  Although the back legs were healed, my great-grandmother lost her eyesight and could only walk by groping along the route in memory.  But it still can't reduce my great-grandmother's love for me.

    After talking to my great-grandmother, I walked into the kitchen and said to Dad Yao, "Dad Yao, my eldest uncle and the others are back, and they will have lunch at our house, don't make a meal."

    "Your eldest uncle is back, if you want, I'll come over soon" Yao father said with a smile.  "Is your aunt here?"

    "Here they are, they came together. I'll take my grandpa first." After finishing speaking, I went to hold my great-grandmother's hand, just like when my great-grandmother held me.  Very careful, very gentle, and very slow.

    "Taotao, your eldest uncle and the others are back, have they bought you something delicious?" Great-grandmother walked and chatted with me on crutches.

    "Bring it, there are a lot of snacks, I haven't had time to eat them yet, wait a minute, let's eat together"

    "Hahaha, you eat, Zuzu can't bite anymore"

    "I'll give you something to eat, something you can eat" I secretly decided in my heart that I must find something delicious for my great-grandmother that doesn't waste my teeth.

    "Your father and the others have been back for a long time? It's been a long time since you went out"

    "Just now when my grandma and I went down to call Dad, he said he would be back in a few days. It seemed to be my aunt's side. What kind of banquet do you want to have?"

    "Oh, it's good to be back, it's good to be back, it's been a long time since they went out, and they ran so far, it's hard to see them." Great-grandmother's words revealed the deep thoughts of my father.

    Passing through the grove when we came here, and then through the bamboo forest, my great-grandmother and I returned to my home.

    At home, the lively value instantly rose to another level.  After chatting and exchanging pleasantries, we started preparing for lunch.

    The aunt is in charge of cooking. After all, she has the cooking skills taught by her grandma, so she can completely control such a small scene, and grandma is still sitting next to her.

    Grandma is responsible for lighting the fire and preliminary processing of some vegetables.  For example: peeled lettuce, peeled potatoes, peeled garlic, etc.

    The eldest son-in-law chatted with his grandfather, telling some interesting experiences abroad.

    When I returned from the mission, I moved a chair for my great-grandmother and put it next to the kitchen door.  Some people may ask, why did you let your great-grandmother sit outside?  For one thing, the smoke in the kitchen is relatively thick, and the smoke from the firewood is not easy to escape. The great-grandmother is a very clean person, so the firewood has a lot of dust.  Secondly, the weather is very good today, you can enjoy the sun by sitting outside, although your great-grandmother can¡¯t seeClean things up, but basking in the sun and seeing the strong sunlight will make you feel much better.

    After helping my great-grandmother to the chair, I was about to go to the kitchen to see if I could be of any help. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, my great-grandmother called out: "Taotao, come here, I'll bring you something"

    I put my hand under the clenched hand of my great-grandmother, and saw her slowly open her hand, and a clean "red orange" appeared in my palm.  This is my great-grandmother's favorite fruit, and it is also a delicious fruit at home.

    "Thank you, Zuzu!" Normally, red tangerines are rarely eaten, because there are only two or three trees, and each tree can only bear dozens of them.  So almost all the red oranges at home are left for the great-grandmother to eat.  My sister and I are only able to eat one or two occasionally.

    A piece of red tangerine is eaten, and the pure sweet juice makes people feel happy.  Then, great-grandmother called my name again, and stretched out her hand again.

    This time, I got a big white rabbit toffee!  Oh My God!  Supreme snack!  Or did you eat 2 during the Chinese New Year last year?  This makes me so happy!  While thanking my great-grandmother, I put the toffee in my pocket.  Must be treasured!  Can't eat it now!

    "Do you like to eat white rabbit toffee?" Great-grandmother said.

    "I like it, I like it very much, thank you Zuzu" I said seriously after packing the toffee.

    "Come on, I'll give you another one." The great-grandmother took something out of her pocket again, held it in her hand, and handed it to me.

    I reached out to take it, thinking it would be the second big white rabbit toffee, but I never thought that my great-grandmother surprised me again!  Whistle candy!  Still two!

    A long time ago, I was very envious of my classmates eating whistle candies, and they could whistle the sound while eating. It cost 1 dime or two, and I was never willing to buy it to taste.  Unexpectedly, my great-grandmother gave me two today!

    "Wow! Whistle candy! Zuzu, where did you get it?" I looked adoringly at my great-grandmother who was like a treasure chest.

    "This is the loose candy that xxx came to see me that day and weighed it for me. It has this in it. I guess you will like it. There are only two of this candy. The others are not this kind of candy" (remember the website URL:  www.hlnovel.com
