Just be Cheng Shao's apex treasure

Chapter 387
Mr. Xia came out of the house by himself, and he walked fairly steadily with a cane, but it is still very dangerous for such an old man with no one around him.

Jing Yi pondered for a moment, then asked: "Grandpa Xia, are you alone at home?"

"Old Wang went out to buy vegetables, and now I'm alone."

Lao Wang is the nanny of the Xia family. He has taken care of Mr. Xia for many years and is a very kind little old lady.

"Did the two of them go shopping together?"

"You mean Xiao Zheng and Xiao Li? I fired them both."

"dismiss?"

Although Lao Wang is more than ten years younger than Mr. Xia and has a strong body, she is still a 70-year-old old lady. She takes care of the house alone and takes care of Mr. Xia who is older than herself. ?
Jing Yi frowned, and was about to ask why those two people were dismissed, but Mr. Xia said, "Yibao, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Grandpa doesn't have much money. Hiring two more people will cost a lot of money." .”

"Grandpa Xia..."

Jing Yi had already reached the point of his mouth, and felt that it was inappropriate to say it, so he finally just sighed softly and fell silent.

If it is a friend of the same generation, she can say things like "Why didn't you tell me you don't have money" "I will give you or I will lend you how much money you need", but this is an elder, her grandfather, and she must force her A man who has been with her all her life, if she said such a thing, she would seriously hurt his self-esteem.

She only knew that the Lu family's business was not good, but she didn't expect that it was so bad that the family couldn't afford to hire two or three servants.

"Yibao, grandpa didn't tell you these things to want you to sympathize, nor did he want your family to help. It's just that you asked, and grandpa told you, that's all." At this time, old man Xia said with a slightly vicissitudes of life.

Jing opened her mouth, only to feel that her eyes were sore and swollen, her eyes were red, she bit her lip and nodded, she knew it.

At this time in the living room, she helped Mr. Xia sit down on the sofa, sniffed her nose, quickly wiped away the tears that were about to flow, and said in a nasal voice, "Grandpa Xia, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ate."

"Then I'll get you a glass of water."

"I'm not thirsty..."

Before the old man Xia finished speaking, Jing Yi had already turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen. The tears wiped off just now filled his eyes again, and he was about to come out soon, but she didn't want to cry in front of the old man, for fear that he would She felt that she was pitying him, but she just felt sorry for him!

The moment I turned around, those backlogged tears rushed out like a flood that opened the gate.

But she didn't dare to let herself cry, so she came to the kitchen.

Leaning against the wall and crying for a while, she quickly adjusted her emotions. She walked to the sink to wash her face, and she saw a bowl and a spoon in the sink that hadn't been cleaned in time.

She stared at the bowls and spoons in the sink for a moment, then turned around and came to the gas stove. There was a porridge pot on the gas stove with the lid on. When I scooped it with a spoon, I didn't get much corn grits from the bottom of the pot, let alone the top, which was almost like clear water.There is also a small plate on the cabinet with some pickles in it.

Is this Grandpa Xia's breakfast?

Not to mention what he ate, just looking at the corn soup in the pot and the unwashed bowls in the sink, this is enough to show that Grandma Wang is not here, Grandma Wang is a very particular person, and she will never Throw the bowl in the sink and wash it after buying vegetables.

At this point in the analysis, Jing Yi came to the refrigerator again, opened the refrigerator, it was almost empty, except for a few cartons of milk, which were almost expired.

Tears came out again, and Jing Yi washed the dishes in the sink while crying.

After washing the dishes, she took two cups of hot water and went out, pretending that she hadn't noticed anything, and sat down in the living room as if nothing had happened.

"Grandpa Xia, when I came here, my grandfather specifically asked me to persuade you. His original words were, 'we have lived to this age, we have to think about everything, don't make things difficult for yourself, the relationship between the children A estrangement has arisen, but aren’t we old guys still old brothers? You’ve been avoiding me, and you don’t answer the phone, are you trying to sever ties with me?’”

When talking about what Old Master Lu said, Jing Yi deliberately imitated her grandfather's tone, which made Old Master Xia wipe tears and laugh at the same time.

"Grandpa Xia." Jing Yi took the opportunity to sit beside him and held his arm, "Just listen to my grandpa, okay? No matter how noisy we juniors are, you and my grandpa are old friends for life, we I think the relationship between you has already surpassed that between friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are relatives? You are happy and comfortable, and my grandfather is also happy and comfortable. If you are not good, he is also sad. "

Grandpa Xia lowered his head and wiped away his tears, choked up so hard that he couldn't speak a word.

After Mr. Xia finally calmed down, Jing Yi told her about Xia Shishi.

"Grandpa Xia, I'm sorry I just came to tell you about this this morning, I..."

"Yibao, you don't need to apologize. It wasn't your fault in the first place, and you did nothing wrong. That child Shishi is different now. I was trying to persuade her before, but what did she do?" I can’t even listen to it. I came back some time ago and had a big fight with me, and said that I would sever ties with me. After that, I called her and she didn’t answer. I went to find her, but she didn’t see me. I told her my heart. Really disappointed."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xia sighed, with a deep sadness on his face.

"Her sister is disobedient, and she doesn't make people worry. If the two sisters are half as sensible as you, I can rest assured even if I die!"

"Grandpa Xia, don't say that."

"Yibao, you don't need to comfort Grandpa, Grandpa knows everything in his heart."

Jing Yi pursed her lips and didn't want to say anything else. In fact, what she said at this time would make the old man feel uncomfortable. Instead of doing this, she should be a quiet listener.

It seems that the chatterbox has been opened, or it may be that no one has spoken for too long, Mr. Xia talked intermittently for an hour or two.

Noon is coming soon.

Xiao Zhang came in from the outside carrying two big bags of ingredients, and shouted with a smile, "Grandpa Xia, Missy, I'll put the things in the kitchen."

Mr. Xia was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes became moist again.

"Grandpa Xia, I didn't do this for you, I did it for myself."

Jing Yi stood up with a smile and stroked her bare arms twice. She was originally wearing short sleeves and had no sleeves to roll up, but with this posture, it looked like she was going to do a big job.

"My grandfather gave me an order. She said that if I can't cook nine dishes and one soup before he comes, he will serve me according to the family law! I'll go to work first, Grandpa Xia, take a rest."

"Your grandpa is coming soon?" Mr. Xia was a little nervous. He hadn't seen his old friend for many days, and he always found his own reasons. There was an idea of ​​going out and hiding.

Jing Yi stopped when he heard the words, turned around, said "um", then blinked his eyes, "Grandpa Xia, are you a little nervous? My grandfather, don't you understand? He has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. After a while, he will definitely nag when we meet, you can just go in the left ear and out the right ear, ignore him, and he will stop nagging after a while."

Having said that, after all, it was my fault.

Old Man Xia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the sofa seemed to be covered with cactus, which made him unable to sit still.

Looking at the time, he got up and went to the kitchen, "Yibao, when will your grandpa arrive?"

Jing glanced at his watch, "About another hour? Or half an hour?"

"So fast?"

Grandpa Xia became anxious when he heard that, he quickly turned around and went upstairs, went back to his room and changed his clothes.

Because he never went out at home, he didn't care about wrinkled clothes, but after a while, his old friend came, and that guy's mouth was like a knife. If he saw him wearing such wrinkled bark-like clothes, he would wonder He was going to tell him when he was going to be, so he had to change into a decent suit quickly.

Old Mr. Xia's clothes were all ironed by Mr. Wang. Now that Mr. Wang has been fired by him, he doesn't know how to handle these clothes. It's not bad if he can barely wash them, so the clothes in the closet are in a mess. A piece that can be worn out.

After picking for a long time, he still couldn't find one that he was satisfied with. Mr. Xia was very anxious. Half an hour had passed since he saw the time. Is it time for old Lu to arrive?
How to do?
Seeing the ironing board, Mr. Xia pondered for a moment. Normally, he saw that Lao Wang ironing clothes is very simple. If he tries it, he should be able to iron it well.

With Xiao Wang's help, Jing Yi's nine dishes and one soup were cooked smoothly and quickly. When Mr. Lu arrived, the last soup was just out of the pot.

"Yibao, is the meal ready? Didn't take care of the family." Mr. Lu didn't see anyone when he arrived in the yard, and he didn't see anyone when he entered the house. He smelled the scent wafting from the kitchen, and came all the way to the kitchen. The sound made Jing Yi and Xiao Zhang tremble all over.

Jing Yi turned around with a smile, and pointed to the cabinet, "Master, please take a look!"

Mr. Lu walked over to have a look, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad! My granddaughter is good at cooking!"

Just as Jing Yi was about to groan, her grandfather said slowly, "The appearance is good, but the taste is good. You have to taste it for a while before you can tell."

Jing Yi rolled his eyes, took off the apron and hung it on the hook at the door, "I'll ask Grandpa Xia to eat."

"He's not in the living room, nor in the yard. Did you know I'm coming and hid?" Old Man Lu snorted, saying that it would be fine if Lao Xia didn't go to the gate to pick him up, even if he waited at the gate, but He didn't, so he was pissed.

"Not in the yard or in the living room?" Jing Yi thought for a while, "Maybe I went upstairs and went back to my room, sir, wash your hands first, Brother Zhang, please bring the food to the dining room, I'll go find Grandpa Xia."

Going upstairs to Grandpa Xia's room, the door was ajar, Jing Yi knocked on the door, "Grandpa Xia? Are you in, Grandpa Xia?"

No one answered, Jing Yi gently pushed the door open, and looked inside with his probe. It was true that no one was seen, but there seemed to be some movement coming from somewhere in the room.

"Grandpa Xia?"

Jing Yi yelled again, and walked into the room. At this moment, she saw the open dressing room, Mr. Xia was ironing clothes with an iron, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Grandpa Xia, what are you doing?"

Mr. Xia was concentrating on ironing his clothes. He was so startled that the iron in his hand almost fell to the ground.

When he looked up and saw that it was Jing Yi, he was embarrassed and blushed, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yibao, can you iron clothes? Grandpa is really clumsy and can't iron. You help grandpa iron the clothes." Bar!"

Jing Yi first glanced at the iron in the old man's hand, now few people in the family use this kind of old-fashioned iron, they usually use steam hanging irons, but according to grandma, in fact, the clothes produced by this kind of old-fashioned iron are relatively It's just that people of their older generation are used to the old-fashioned ones, and generally still use the old-fashioned ones.

However, for her, the popular old-fashioned, she will not!

Hands are broken, and clothes will be broken when ironed.

Another time, she bought a new shirt and liked it very much, but the shirt was wrinkled after washing, so she thought about ironing it, and then she was blindsided and ironed a big hole in the shirt!
So, let her iron her clothes hard now, this matter is to drive ducks to the shelves!
"Grandpa Xia, I can only try, but if I ruin your clothes, I don't care."

"You just need to iron. Grandpa has a lot of clothes. If it's broken, get another one."

Having said that, she can't really practice with Grandpa Xia's clothes, can she?

Jing Yi took a deep breath, tightly gripped the handle of my iron, imagining grandma's daily action of ironing clothes, and ironed carefully.

After finally ironing this side, she put the iron away and was about to turn over the clothes when she was stunned.

"Oh!" Mr. Xia slapped his forehead, "I burned a big hole in this dress just now, I forgot! I'm sorry, Yibao, I'll go there to get a new one and you can iron it for me."

The corner of Jing Yi's mouth twitched fiercely, God knows how nervous she was just now, she finally thought she was half successful, but it turned out that her efforts were in vain!
She wants to cry.

At this time, Mr. Xia brought another piece of clothing with an apologetic face, "Yi Bao, I will trouble you again."

"Grandpa Xia, don't say that. In fact, I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to practice. To tell you the truth, I burned a big hole in my new shirt! It's bigger than the hole in your shirt just now!"

After hearing this, Mr. Xia quickly looked down at the shirt in his hand, hesitating for a while, and said after a while: "Yi Bao, can you be careful? This dress was bought for me every day, and I have never been willing to wear it. "

Jing Yi's expression changed slightly, and he smiled, "Grandpa Xia, don't worry, I will be careful."

After being uneasy for more than ten minutes, she finally ironed the shirt without damaging it, and Jing Yi heaved a long sigh of relief. When she was clearing away the ironing board, she asked casually, "Xia Grandpa, where is Sister Tiantian now? Have you ever been married?"
