The hot pot for lunch is simple and easy to clean up. The mandarin duck pot is placed on the dining pot. Beef and mutton slices, crab sticks and fish balls, fresh vegetables, sesame paste, fermented bean curd, chive flowers, and freshly fried Sichuan peppercorn oil are placed on the table.
The old man and the three brothers all poured white wine, and Lin Wanzhao and Qin Te drank six walnuts boiled in hot water. The eldest brother was the first to raise his glass, "It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's have a toast. I wish my parents good health and all the best for us all."
"Come on, cheers!"
Infected by the atmosphere, Qin Te also curled up his lips.
However, the mother she had been waiting for all day did not arrive.
There was a slight movement at the door. Qin Te looked at the door and saw the wind.
There is a family portrait of my grandma¡¯s family hanging in the middle above the TV opposite the sofa. It must have been taken many years ago. It can be seen from the clothes and the clothes in the background that the house in the background is not what it looks like now. Grandma and grandpa are sitting in the middle, and behind them are three uncles and my mother. My mother was still very young at that time, with thin curly hair that looked a bit rustic now, and her eyes fluttered when she smiled.
Neither grandma nor grandpa were in the living room, so Qin Te stepped forward to take a closer look. Next to the family portrait are family portraits and wedding photos of each family.
¡°My mother smiles so beautifully in the wedding photos. The one in the white suit must be my stepfather.
My eyes fell on the family portrait, and my mother was holding a boy in her arms!
The mother also has a son.
Dad often said at home that his daughter will be thrown out sooner or later, she will lose money, and she will still have to count on her son in the future.
Mom has a son.
Will mother still want her?
When I was a child and lived with my grandma, I often heard her say that her mother didn¡¯t want her. Later, when I went to my father's house, my father, stepmother, and relatives at home also said this openly and covertly.
¡°My mother didn¡¯t want her when she didn¡¯t have a son, let alone now that I have a son.
Qin Te's heart suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and loneliness.
If her mother misses her, misses her, and cares about her, when her uncle called her yesterday, her mother would definitely say a few words to her on the phone. Even if she didn't speak, at least she would have an arrangement for her. However, I never heard my uncle mention it.
Mom didn¡¯t come today either.
Although she is not a smart person, she can feel it.
Maybe mom really doesn¡¯t want her very much.
What Qin Te is more worried about is that if her mother doesn't want her, will her grandma be willing to take her in for a long time?
Take her in.
In six months, she will be an adult.
She can go out to work as an adult and earn money to support herself.
It doesn¡¯t take long, six months is enough.
"Why are you crying?"
Qin Te was interrupted by Lin Wanzhao's voice, and when he touched his face, he realized that he was crying. Lin Wanzhao looked at the family photos and thought Qin Te was thinking about his mother.
Lin Wanzhao felt sorry for her granddaughter, but the child was destined to be disappointed.
Qin Te wiped his tears and Lin Wanzhao said, "Wash your face. Let's go to the supermarket and buy you some daily necessities."
Qin Te then noticed that his grandma was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket when going out, carrying a shoulder bag, and her hair was neatly curled. Qin Te went to wash her face, applied some facial oil from her grandma, put on the cotton monkey her grandma gave her yesterday, followed her grandma, and the grandson and grandson went out together.
The weather is too cold.
There were children setting off small firecrackers on the street, and from time to time there would be one or two pops. The red confetti after the explosion of firecrackers can be seen everywhere, rustling in the wind, like Qin Te.
She followed her grandma in small steps, a little afraid of the firecrackers that suddenly went off out of nowhere, and a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment.
Some adults walking on the street greeted Lin Wanzhao. At this time, Lin Wanzhao would formally introduce Qin Te, his granddaughter, and then tell Qin Te what to call him.
Qin Te greeted her elders or peers in a low voice. She didn't dare to speak for fear of embarrassing her grandma by saying something wrong.
Lin Wanzhao didn¡¯t like her trembling little frozen cat appearance, so he said directly, ¡°Speak louder to people in the future, don¡¯t be so quiet.¡±
As soon as she said these words, Qin Te shrank even more.
Lin Wanzhao was worried that his current temper would frighten Qin Te, so he took a breath and explained, "Too quiet will make people feel weak, and others will think you are easy to bully. Let's speak openly and openly. Don¡¯t be like that mosquito.¡±
Qin Tong nodded.
"Don't arch your shoulders. You're a tall and handsome man. Why are you arching your shoulders?"
"I'm too tall. I look stupid if I'm too tall."
"Too high??It's very good, it's pure peanut oil. I¡¯ll give you a box of milk for grandma, it¡¯s also a big brand! "
"This reminds me. Give me two boxes, or you can exchange the oil for milk. I just forgot to buy milk." Lin Wanzhao took out his wallet from his bag and prepared to pay.
"Okay. I'll give you the oil as well, and I'll give you an extra box of new year's milk."
Lin Wanzhao smiled and said, "Xiaoqiu, you know how to do business. Among all the supermarkets in our village, your business is the most prosperous."
After leaving the supermarket, Lin Wanzhao took Qin Te to the fruit shop again. The third child was so greedy that he ate all the big cherries he bought. What else did Lin Wanzhao want to eat?
There were also fresh strawberries in the supermarket. Lin Wanzhao tasted one and gave Qin Te one to taste. It was sour and sweet, especially the fresh fruit fragrance, which smelled particularly good. He wanted two more large boxes of strawberries. Lin Wanzhao asked Qin Te if they had any. There was no fruit he wanted to eat, so Qin Te said sensibly, "These two are good."
"Think about what you want to eat?"
Qin Te whispered his preference, "I also like bananas."
"Speak louder." I was fine just now in the supermarket, but why am I a mosquito again?
"Banana." Qin Te said loudly.
Lin Wanzhao waved his hand grandly, "Pick a bunch for yourself!"
"Grandma, where else is our family?"
"Then pick a bunch and eat it!"
Qin Te went to pick bananas, and the proprietress of the fruit shop laughed, "At first glance, it looks like I am kissing grandma. With such generous spirit, there is no one else but grandma!"
Qin Te picked a bunch of moderate ones and handed them to the proprietress. His cheeks were a little red and the corners of his lips were curved.
These things are also delivered directly to your home by the fruit shop.
After shopping, it was quite cold outside, so the grandfather and grandson went home for a walk.
??????????????????????????????? The worry that I had been filled with because my mother didn¡¯t come suddenly seemed to fall back into my stomach. Qin Te himself analyzed that maybe it was because his grandma was very willing to spend money on himself.
Being willing to spend money on a person at least shows that this person has some weight.
Soon, everything from the supermarket and fruit shop was delivered to my home. Hearing the third uncle's exclamation and the second uncle joking about grandma's lavish spending, grandpa frowned in distress, but when he saw the third uncle going to the kitchen to wash the fruits, the second uncle also took out bananas and put them on the plate. Grandpa's brows gradually relaxed. There were also some things he bought for her. Grandpa nodded, "You should buy them."
Qin Te thought that even if her mother didn't want her, maybe she could still live at her grandma's house.
