Chapter 386 The state it should be
The two of them drank tea with the old lady in the front yard of the old house until Shen Yize and Lin Xi arrived.
"Hey, it's pretty fast. Did you think you were going to wait for our old lady to serve dinner?"
Zhao Jinyan was lying on the rocking chair and smiling with squinting eyes. His expression couldn't be too proud.
"Grandma Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You still look so good. Why are you getting younger and younger?"
Lin Xi has met the old lady of the Zhao family several times. She likes the old lady's character very much. She is straightforward and does not look at people through colored glasses.
"Yi Ze's wife is still good at talking and beautiful. Yi Ze, you are a lucky boy."
Shen Yi doesn't know if he is a blessed person, but if he is not blessed, then the only blessing may be that there is a woman who loves him regardless of everything before and now, and is willing to accept him and forgive him after going through so much.
"Old lady, what do you think of our daughter-in-law when you praise her so much? It's her first official visit, so she can't make her feel neglected, right? Yi Ze and sister Xiaoxi are an old married couple, so there's no need to praise them."
The old lady looked at his shameless look and shook her head, "You kid, you have to fight for everything. How can Sun Yatou be as petty as you?"
Sun Miaomiao also glared at him. This man also had a long-skinned reputation.
"Hey, Lin Xi, let's go to the backyard. Zhao Jinyan said that grandma has planted a lot of vegetables, and they are growing just right at this time."
The reason why I came here is to let Lin Xi relax. The small vegetable garden in the backyard is freshly picked and eaten, which has a unique flavor.
"Yes, yes, my wife is leaving. There are many delicious foods in grandma's small vegetable garden."
The old lady took them one by one and led them to her small vegetable garden.
Lin Xi was surprised to see such a large vegetable patch in the backyard.
"Grandma, are you taking care of such a big area?"
"Aunt Liu and I take care of it together, and occasionally her husband comes over to help us. How can an old woman like me be so capable?"
Lin Xi looked at the Zhao family's old lady and truly admired her. According to Shen Yi, this old lady used to be a powerful figure, but now she has no nostalgia for the prosperity of the past and has truly returned to her original nature.
"Girl, come here, each person has a basket. You can pick what you like to eat. There are tomatoes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and small cantaloupes over there. I asked your Aunt Liu to plant these early, so there is no delay in finishing this crop. Plant another crop.”
Lin Xi looked at the shelves full of cucumbers and beans, with tomatoes and eggplants next to them. Such an original vegetable garden instantly aroused Lin Xi's interest.
The life of this old lady is really too comfortable. What could be more life-like than a life of self-sufficiency, physical and mental health? How many people who have experienced prosperous times and experienced prosperity can be detached from the world of mortals and detached from other things?
Apparently the old lady from the Zhao family did it.
When she handed over the Zhao family to Zhao Jinyan, she did not force him to continue to flourish, but just did as he pleased. She admired the old lady's broadmindedness.
"Grandma, your current condition is much better than my grandma! My old lady lives in Beishan Nursing Home and she never forgets to brag about comparisons all day long."
Mrs. Zhao said cheerfully, "I don't have that fate. I couldn't sleep in the city, so I felt refreshed when I came here. To put it bluntly, it is a life of hard work. Sitting still all day long, then I really feel that I am a A useless person."
"When I have the opportunity, I have to bring my old lady to your place to see her, so that she won't feel uncomfortable every day because she is not as good as Grandma Lu in the next room."
"Your grandma is free. Bring her to live with me for a few days and promise to correct her bad habits." Mrs. Zhao said, taking Lin Xi's hand, "Daughter-in-law Yi Ze, I also listen to your grandma's affairs." Our boy said something, you are a filial child, but if she treats you like that, it’s hard for you to still provide for her in her old age."
Lin Xi pursed her lips, "Grandma, please don't praise me. You don't know how reluctant I am, but after all, she is my father's mother. My father is gone. I can't watch her living on the street, right? So I don't Being so generous, I feel very unhappy in my heart.”
"Even if you don't like it, you still have it. Your uncle's family is evil-hearted and there is no good thing. Hey, let's not talk about it. It's fun to eat at grandma's place today. Sun girl, go pick it quickly. After you finish picking it, there are Mountain spring water, let Jin Yan and Yi Ze drink some by the way."
"How dare I expect her to serve me? I can't even flatter her when I serve her."
Zhao Jinyan and Shen Yize walked side by side.
"Since you don't have that fate, just make it yourself and let the girl wait to eat."
The old lady glanced at his careless look, wondering why he was so arrogant when chasing someone.
"Grandma, have you ever heard that it is not tiring for men and women to work together? It is more interesting for us to pick together. This is called fun."
The old lady raised her hand and slapped him, "You naughty kid, you use all the food you eat to grow your mouth. Go to work."
Lin Xi and Sun Miaomiao looked at each other and said in unison: "You deserve it."
"You guys have fun first. I asked your Aunt Liu to catch chickens. It's almost time to come back. I'll go take a look."
Looking at the old lady leaving, Shen Yi sighed, "Jin Yan, your old lady has really lived the way a person should be in this life. She has achieved success and retired and is content."
"Okay, you already have a writer in your family. Don't read a novel for two days and still pick up the text. Pure organic green food. I will let you take advantage of me today."
Shen Yi heard this and kicked him hard on the butt, "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."
Zhao Jinyan wanted to give it back, but Sun Miaomiao held her back, "If you two trample on a vegetable, you won't have to eat at noon today."
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and took the basket to pick vegetables.
When I picked the cherry tomatoes, I ate one without even washing it. "Well, it's so sweet. I've never bought such a sweet cherry tomato."
"You just eat it without washing it." Shen Yi curled his lips in disdain.
After a while, several people had already picked a basket full of food. After washing at the spring, they carried cantaloupes and cherry tomatoes and ate and chatted in the pavilion in the front yard.
Shen Yi saw Lin Xi's constant smile and felt that today was the right day. He secretly decided to take her out more in the future, and at least help her realize her dream of traveling across the country.
After the meal, the four of them sat with the old lady until almost three o'clock. When the sun was not too bright, they leisurely went to Lingquan Temple.
"It is said that there is a mountain spring behind the mountain of Lingquan Temple. Drinking the water from this spring can eliminate all diseases. To tell you the truth, the spring water in our backyard is the same as the spring water in the temple. Do you understand why my old lady is in such good health?"
Zhao Jinyan raised his eyebrows proudly as he spoke.
"Then why don't you package the spring water and sell it? After all, so many people go up the mountain just to drink a cup of spring water." Sun Miaomiao was puzzled.
"He was afraid that the abbot of Lingquan Temple would sue him for stealing other people's spring water."
Lin Xi and Sun Miaomiao were shocked. It turned out that this guy had secretly opened up the spring water up the mountain.
The four of them turned to the mountain road to Lingquan Temple. Lin Xi frowned when he saw a group of people coming along the road.
