The old couple hugged Ye Tan into the main room, and saw Ye Tan carrying a big baggage and a rattan box. The old couple wanted to help Ye Tan carry it, but Ye Tan didn't let him go. The baggage and rattan box were heavy. She came to the old man. The Ye family had put everything in before, and the old couple couldn't lift it because their legs and feet were inconvenient.
"You kid, come back as soon as you come back. Why are you carrying so many things? It's so heavy." Ding Jiuniang pulled Ye Tan to sit on the chair with some distress, then hurriedly tipped her feet to pour Ye Tan a glass of water: " You're tired, drink a glass of water first."
"Yes, yes." Ye Laoshuan's excitement was not over yet, and he said hurriedly: "Xiaotan, drink water first."
Ye Tan took the glass of water with a smile, then took Ding Jiuniang and Ye Laoshuan to sit down together: "Master, grandma, I will come back this year to celebrate the New Year with you."
"Hey, okay, okay." Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang were very excited. Ding Jiuniang rubbed her hands and said hurriedly: "Then I'll cook quickly. You've been on the train for several days, so you must not have eaten well."
Then, Ding Jiuniang began to think about what to have for dinner. What she had just cooked would definitely not work. The couple had originally planned to drink some whole grain porridge and eat some wotou pickles in the evening. Now that their granddaughter is back, they have to make a smoked pheasant quickly. , then cut some bacon and stew potatoes.
Seeing Ding Jiuniang going to the kitchen, Ye Tan hurriedly grabbed Ding Jiuniang and said, "Nai, don't be so troublesome. I packed food from the town. Let's eat these first in the evening."
With that said, Ye Tan took out three aluminum lunch boxes and a pack of steamed buns wrapped in oil paper from the big bag. The three aluminum lunch boxes contained two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish respectively. These and the steamed buns were all made by Amu. It tastes great.
"You kid, you still have so much meat at home that you sent back. Why do you still buy such expensive food? You have to keep the money in your hands. It's not easy to go to the countryside. The people there are unfamiliar with the place. If you don’t have anyone to help you, it’s a good idea to keep the money as a favor, it can make you feel better.”
The food in the state-owned restaurants in the town was not cheap, and they had to buy tickets. The old couple felt sorry for Ye Tan. They were worried that Ye Tan would spend too much money and have a hard time in the Northeast, but they were incompetent. Can't help Ye Tan.
"Master, grandma, don't worry, I have money in my hand." Ye Tan plans to leave some money for the old couple when she comes back this time. She knows that the old couple don't have much income, and Ye Tan used to come every month. Qing's two yuan pension money is gone now that he has broken off the relationship with Ye Laiqing, but it doesn't matter, she is still there.
Sister is not short of money!
Ye Tan put the food on the table, took the old couple to sit at the table, and said, "I used to be timid and weak-tempered, and lived like a quail, but after what happened this time, I thought about it." , I have also received the letters and packages that Uncle Hesheng sent me before. As for my scumbag father, we don’t need to pay attention to him. I will provide for you in your old age from now on. Your granddaughter, I, am very powerful now."
Ye Tan used all the tricks he had used to coax his grandfather in his previous life, and made a lot of jokes, making Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang very happy, and their mood improved a lot.
The two of them were as happy as anything now that they had their granddaughter by their side. The three of them had a lively dinner.
After eating, Ye Tan took out the things he brought back to the old couple one by one from their bags.
Smoked pheasant, smoked rabbit and bacon are essential. In addition, there are also some dry goods, such as pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc., as well as some pickles made by Amu, as well as those bought for the old couple from the Shanghai market. Snacks and canned food, brown sugar, white sugar, milk powder, malted milk, etc.
Finally, I took out the thin cotton-padded clothes and jacket I bought for my second elder in the Shanghai market from the rattan box.
Seeing such a large amount of things, Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang were stunned and speechless for a long time. This was too much. How did his granddaughter carry it back?
"Xiao...Xiaotan, why did you buy so many things for us?" After a long while, Ye Laoshuan exhaled. It's not like he has never seen good things in his life, but in this day and age, he can't buy them all at once. How much money would his sweet granddaughter have to spend to buy so many things? Wouldn’t she spend all the money she has around to buy things for the old couple?
"Too much, too much." Ding Jiuniang kept mumbling, and began to calculate her family's financial resources to see how much money she could give Ye Tan. She was really afraid that Ye Tan would buy these things for them and starve herself later. With.
"These can be stored. Keep these meats and nuts to eat slowly. Eat snacks quickly, otherwise they will go bad. There are also these sugars, milk powder and malted milk. You can make a cup of them every day. , can supplement nutrition..." Ye Tan planned the meals for the old couple in the same way, then picked up the thin cotton-padded clothes and jacket, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, please give it a try and see if it suits you."
"This...this!" Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang haven't worn new clothes for many years. The clothes they have are all patched and patched. Fortunately, the weather in the south is not that cold, so they can make do with it. Now Seeing my granddaughter buying so many new clothes for her husband and wife, I was really at a loss: "Xiaotan, the clothes we have are all still wearable. If you can return these clothes, please return them. Keep some money with you and go out." Those who are out there can’t do it if they don’t have money around them.”
After hearing what the old couple said, Ye Tan felt warm in his heart. These are the real relatives. If it were Ye Laiqing and his wife, they would try their best to drain her of all the money she had, and that would not be the end of the world.
"Master, milk, I have already bought it and cannot return it. If you don't wear it, it will just be wasted." Ye Tan pursed his lips and said.
waste?
That won't work!
When the old couple heard this, they hurriedly said: "We will wear it right away."
Immediately, the old couple went back to the house to change clothes.
When the old couple came out of the house, Ye Tan saw that it was good, not too big and not too small.
"Master, grandma, you look so good in what you wear." Ye Tan said with a smile.
Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang caressed the clothes on their bodies and said with a smile, "These new clothes must look good."
It's so comfortable and warm. I haven't worn clothes like this in years.
The eyes of the old couple were a little moist.
When Ye Tan saw it, he hurriedly said: "Master, grandma, let's go to the town tomorrow. I will buy you a pair of shoes. You will have new clothes and shoes. Let's have a beautiful New Year."
Ye Laoshuan and Ding Jiuniang shook their heads like rattles: "No, no, you bought these things for us. It cost a lot of money. I can't let you spend any more. The shoes can still be worn. Don't waste it." That money.”
"How do you call it a waste?" Ye Tan smiled and pulled the old couple to the table and sat down. He took out another two hundred yuan and some bills and said, "Master, grandma, this is the pension money I will give you this year. , you put it away."
