Mr. Guan lived not far away, only five or six minutes away by bicycle. Li Jie tied the woven bag to the back seat of his bicycle and stumbled there.
"Brother Chunming, are you here?"
Stepping into the courtyard, a slender girl took the initiative to say hello to Li Jie. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and a cute oval face. She was wearing a burgundy woolen coat and a matching
The khaki turtleneck sweater is youthful and exudes a girlish atmosphere.
In this era when the mainstream clothes are black, blue, gray and green, such an outfit is undoubtedly very fashionable, and it is not easy to buy such a suit. In addition to sending it back from abroad, there are only foreign exchange shops (where you can buy things with foreign exchange coupons)
There are places selling such clothes.
The girl with a high ponytail looked playful and cute, and Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, what a transformation of a woman.
"Yes, I'm here to bring you some food. You lazy little cat is not a cook."
The girl in the courtyard is Guan Xiaoguan, the granddaughter of Mr. Guan. Her nickname is Little Lazy Cat. The reason why she has such a nickname is that she has a principle: she will never stand if she can sit, and she will never sit if she can lie down.
With.
In her early years, Guan Xiaoguan and her parents had been living abroad. Not long after she returned to China, it was impossible for the spoiled Guan Xiaoguan to cook without touching her fingers.
If Li Jie doesn't bring food today, the old man will probably have to cook lunch himself.
Guan Xiaoguan secretly looked at what Li Jie was holding, his eyes flickered, and he smiled.
"No, Brother Chunming, didn't you bring food?"
After saying that, she took the initiative to take the bag, without showing any signs of laziness.
"You, you!" Li Jie reached out and tapped her forehead, and said angrily: "It's time for you to learn to cook. Every time you come back, let the old man take the initiative to cook. How old is the old man? He still has to serve you.
!”
"Well! That's a nice saying! Little lazy cat, you have to learn to cook and be filial to your grandpa!"
While the two were talking, Mr. Guan had already walked to the door and joked with a smile.
"Grandpa!" Guan Xiaoguan shouted and trotted to the old man's side: "Who can I follow my temper? Isn't it just yours?"
"Huh! I don't have a granddaughter like you. I don't learn the good ones, but only learn the bad ones! I don't know what to do all day long, and I don't know how to come back to see grandpa!" Mr. Guan tilted his head, and then he pointed at Li
Jay.
"Look at Chunming, who specializes in learning. Just respecting the elderly is worth learning throughout your life."
The old man also knew that his granddaughter was at a lively and active age and was always full of curiosity about new things. It was impossible to calm her down.
Therefore, what he said seemed to be an accusation, but in fact it was just a complaint.
Guan Xiaoguan was an eccentric person. She knew the old man's character very well and had her own way of making him happy. She smiled and raised the woven bag in her hand.
"Grandpa, look, Moutai! A bottle of Moutai costs ten yuan, but there are four bottles!"
"Look, my eldest grandson bought this. What does it have to do with you?"
Mr. Guan was a heavy drinker and grabbed the bag from Guan Xiaoguan's hand. His movements were as quick as an old man in his sixties. After grabbing the bag, the old man sighed softly and deliberately looked very disappointed.
Expression, murmured.
“I don’t know when I will be able to drink the wine my granddaughter bought, ugh!”
"Grandpa!" Guan Xiaoguan hugged the old man's arm and said coquettishly: "Tomorrow, can't I buy it for you tomorrow?"
After saying this, Guan Xiaoguan paused, turned around and glared at Li Jie angrily, and said angrily.
"But I can't afford such good wine, and your granddaughter is not as rich as your eldest grandson!"
Mr. Guan laughed, reached out and patted her hand: "It's okay, it's okay! It doesn't matter how much money you have, the most important thing is your heart."
Guan Xiaoguan muttered unhappily: "Hey! If you say that, you definitely don't think so in your heart."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mr. Guan chose to be intermittently deaf, as if he didn't hear his granddaughter's complaints, and instead smiled and waved to Li Jie.
"Come on, Chunming, come in quickly and let us have a drink!"
Li Jie nodded with a smile. It was not easy for the old man to ask for a drink. On weekdays, if he gave him one or two bottles of wine, he would never get the chance to drink.
The old man usually accepts the wine and chases it away. He regards the wine as more valuable than his treasures. His treasures are almost unguarded against Li Jie and they can look at and play with them casually.
As for wine, don't even think about it. Unless the old man is in a particularly good mood, he will take the initiative to invite himself to drink two cups.
The old man must be in a good mood today. First of all, the four bottles of Maotai liquor Li Jie brought played a key role.
Secondly, his homeless granddaughter finally had time to come back to spend time with him, and again, it was because of the Chinese New Year.
For the old man who has experienced the changes in the world, celebrating the New Year is just that. He is old and his children are not around all the year round. The festive and lively New Year is not a good day for him.
Entering the house, Mr. Guan put the bag on his huanghuali couch, and then he couldn't wait to untie the thread of the woven bag and took out one bottle of wine from the bag.
After taking the wine, he didn't even look at the contents of the bag, pushed it to the side and gave instructions.
"Little lazy cat, grandpa gives you a task to heat up the food in the lunch box!"
The old man knew without looking that there must be cooked food in the bag, because this was not the first time Mother Han had done this.
"I know!"
Guan Xiaoguan agreed with a grimace. Today was New Year's Eve, and the person who ordered her was her grandfather. Even if she was a 'little lazy cat', she could not turn into a 'hard-working cat' at this moment.
This is also the reason why she doesn't want to go home often. Once she comes back, she can't be lazy.
"Brother Chunming, you can drink two cups with grandpa first, and I'll heat up the food. It'll be ready soon."
Li Jie smiled and nodded: "Go quickly, and you will come and have a drink with me later."
After Guan Xiaoguan left, Li Jie skillfully took out three small wine glasses from the cabinet, then opened a bottle of Maotai and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for the old man.
The old man picked up the wine glass, sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose, praised "good wine", and drank the wine in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Li Jie first poured a glass for the old man, and then poured a glass for himself.
"Old man, is it still the same this year?"
Before Guan Xiaoguan came back, the old man would celebrate the New Year at Han's house every New Year's Eve. This year, his granddaughter came back. Li Jie didn't know what the old man's attitude was, so he asked.
The old man's hand raised in the air froze slightly when he heard this. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, but he paused only for a moment, and then continued to bring the glass to his mouth. After finishing the glass of wine
