Chapter 3129 Osmanthus Sauce

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao also looked at the wisteria trellis.

He nodded.

"very beautiful."

……

“This was planted by my wife…”

The old man looked emotional.

....
Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

"Your partner..."

There was no one else in the room.

He would have known even if he hadn't walked into the house.

I met the old man several times, and he was always alone.

The old man’s spouse…

……

"She went to her kid's house in the city."

The old man said with a smile.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

He blinked.

Then he laughed.

"Oh, I see."

"Why didn't I see the old lady..."

……

"Hey, let's not chat here."

The old man remembered why he came back in a hurry.

"I have to hurry..."

……

"Grandpa Zou, let me help you."

Since there was no way to dissuade the old man from his idea, Xiao Xiao decided to join.

……

"Need not."

The old man waved his hands as he walked.

"It was originally a gift for you."

“That’s what they call a souvenir.”

"If you come to help...what's that?"

"Don't don't."

The old man was determined.

……

"Go walk around the village."

The old man thought about the time when he saw Xiao Xiao, when Xiao Xiao was walking in the village.

Are you visiting the village?
Although he didn’t quite understand why Xiao Xiaoyou had visited the site yesterday?

Are there so many beautiful things to see in such a small village?

The old man shook his head.

He found that he had been thinking about something else.

Maybe it's just like the literal meaning of what he just said.

Xiao Xiaoyou was just taking a walk.

"Come back to my place before you leave."

"Bring up the snacks I made."

……

Xiao Xiao still followed the old man to the kitchen.

……

The old man saw this.

He shook his head helplessly.

But they didn't "drive away customers" anymore.

But Xiao Xiao was not asked to help.

Just let him watch from the side.

……

Xiao Xiao shrugged slightly.

He thought of what the old man had said before.

"Why didn't you go to the child's house in the city with the old lady?"

He started chatting with the old man.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward for him to just stand there?

……

“The kid’s house is too small.”

The old man's answer was quite straightforward.

……

Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised and somewhat amused.

"what?"

……

The old man's hands kept moving.

He is also good at talking.

"The child's room is not big."

This time the old man used a relatively more euphemistic way of saying it.

"Both of us used to be a bit troublesome for the children."

"It's not an important day anyway."

"There are family reunions and holidays where the kids pick us up to go into town, or they come here to eat."

"...Since the old lady misses the child, she can just go and stay there for a few days."

"Next time the old man misses the child, he will go to the child's home and stay for a few days."

……

"Oh."

Xiao Xiao smiled suddenly.

"It's good for you to do this."

From the emotions revealed in the old man's words, we can feel that he has a good relationship with the old lady and the children.

Beautiful emotions always make people feel happy.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

……

"Isn't it?"

The old man smiled with a little pride. "Besides, leaving one person at home can also take care of the family."

"You can see that the wisteria in the yard is so beautiful."

"That's the old lady's treasure."

"You can't be careless at all."

"When summer comes, there are still lotus flowers in the water tank in our yard."

"Autumn is here, and our sweet-scented osmanthus tree blooms beautifully every year."

"what."

The old man looked as if he was thinking of something.

"correct."

"I'll go see if there's any osmanthus sauce left from last year."

"If you have any, take a few cans too."

"This was made by my wife and I."

“It tastes delicious.”

“Everyone likes it very much.”

"Every time we finish the operation, we give away the parts to our neighbors and Dr. Zhang and his team, except for what we keep for ourselves."

“So not much can be retained until the second year.”

"I didn't think of it yesterday..."

The old man kept on talking.

Perhaps because he thought of something good to give to Xiao Xiao, the old man smiled happily with his eyes narrowed.

"You happen to like sweet food, so I think you will like this osmanthus sauce."

……

Seeing that the old man was so happy, Xiao Xiao naturally would not pour cold water on him or say some rejecting words that the old man didn't want to hear.

He raised the corners of his mouth.

"Ah."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zou."

……

"What is there to thank you for?"

The old man waved his hand indifferently.

"They are just some common things in the village."

“It’s not as refined as the things in the city.”

"But the advantage is that we make it ourselves, so the quality can be guaranteed."

"Well."

"As you city folks say, authentic."

……

With the old man's skillful movements, the outline of the dim sum gradually emerged.

The old man has been making these dim sum for many years.

All the steps and their importance are clear to me.

So you can do two things at once.

While talking to Xiao Xiao, his hand movements were flawless.

……

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

Grandpa Zou's appearance at this moment reminded him of his own grandfather.

In his past memories, and of course now, he has seen his grandfather busy in the kitchen countless times.

It's also so easy.

All the movements are smooth and flowing.

The beautiful dessert gradually took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

"Clap~"

The old man closed the oven.

“This oven was given by the child.”

The old man smiled with some pride.

"The old man didn't want it at first."

"The old man has been making pastries for so many years, and he has never used an oven."

"But the old woman scolded the old man for not making any progress and not willing to accept new things..."

"The old woman goes to the city more often and knows more."

The old man looked somewhat helpless, but there was a smile in his voice.

"Besides, it's a gift from the child, so I'll accept it."

"My wife and I spent a long time learning how to use this oven at first."

"I'm old."

“I’m slow to learn.”

"But after learning how to do it, we found that this oven is really good."

“It’s easy to use.”

“It saves us a lot of effort.”

"Technology is indeed amazing."

……

"Ah."

The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a little.

The last words can be considered as the sublimation of the theme.

……

"what."

The old man clapped his hands violently.

"Look at me."

"I almost forgot."

"Osmanthus sauce!"

……

"wait."

"I'll try and find it."

Before he could finish his words, the old man started searching everywhere.

Mouthing in his mouth.

"It should be in the kitchen."

"Hmm...where did the old lady put it?"

The old man opened the cabinets one by one.

"No……"

"There's nothing here either..."

"Why……."
