Chapter 111 Physical Examination, Old Street Eats Rice Balls (for further reading)

   "Boom~"

  The sound of the engine is really loud, but it is undeniably handsome;

   "Phew, I'm home now, now, my brother brought you a special takeaway."

   "Leave it to grandma, I don't need it~"

   Before he could wave his hand, he was directly thrust into Wang Lei's arms.

   Then Li Songlin raised the takeaway in the other hand, and added: "You are welcome, my grandma, can I forget?"

  The two of them are not the kind of relationship that requires politeness, so after saying this, Wang Lei drove home with the takeaway!

   "Wang Lei, brat, why don't you just sit here for a while before leaving?"

  Grandma Li just heard You Ma's voice, and when she came out, only the back of the child was left.

   "Grandma, I brought you delicious food, let's just leave him alone."

   While laughing, Li Songlin just fooled the matter.

   "Why buy this, it's a waste of money..."

  Holding the takeaway bag, Grandma Li frowned involuntarily, and looked at her grandson strangely.

  But since you bought everything, let’s wait until the evening to heat up and eat, but we can’t waste money and waste food.

  Wasting food is unbearable for the older generation, after all, it is the generation that survived the era of food shortage;

  For food, they seldom throw it away. Even if rice grains fall on the table, they will return them to their own bowls. This is such a state.

  …

  Stayed at home for a few more days, then packed Uncle Wang's van and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up;

   After confirming that Grandma Li was recovering well and without any problems, he was finally relieved.

   "Grandma, let's have a nice stroll around the town today, shall we?"

  Out of the hospital, the grandparent and grandson didn't go back directly in the village head's car, but temporarily decided to go shopping in the town.

  Because after shopping this time, Songlin will not be able to return until the summer vacation;

  Luckily, the child's temper was allowed to come, and it wasn't something she couldn't do anyway.

   The two walked side by side, watching the increasingly crowded crowd, they couldn't help but chat about some things about going to the fair many years ago.

  At that time, prices were very low, and everything was cheap.

  Everyone is earnestly living their own lives, and the folks in the village are quite harmonious.

   This one helps buy meat, that one helps buy a piece of soap, or resells eggs or something;

  Speaking of it now, Grandma Li can still tell the details in detail.

  Don't say it, he really likes to hear grandma talk about those days, there is always a faint warmth lingering in his heart.

  It is also because of such a grandchild who is willing to listen, that she can tell these little things in the countryside that should have disappeared with time.

  Every narration is a retrospect to that era.

   There will be some childish romances between grandpa and grandma Li interspersed in the middle.

   There are bitterness and sweetness in such days, and the sweet part is what she loves the most in her memories.

  Speaking of grandpa, she can always talk about a lot of advantages and various things related to him.

  Grandma’s life, in her words, started from the day she married Grandpa Li;

  Because from then on, she was no longer just a young girl who had to worry about everything at home but no one cared about her, but a woman Li Shi who was loved by her husband.

   "Meeting your grandpa is the greatest happiness in grandma's life."

  Even if my wife passed away, I still can't stop the surging thoughts of the old man;

  …

  One person is talking and one person is listening, time passes in a pleasant walk.

   Soon, the grandparent and grandson passed through the planned new business district and came to the gradually deserted old city.

  That is where the memories of Grandma Li, Grandpa Li and others are carried.

  Especially for the older generation, they would rather walk a few steps and choose to visit the old town.

  This is not just a market, but more of a microcosm of people of an era.

   Rao has fewer things and fewer vendors, but still no one can really eliminate the old city.

  Speaking of bazaars, the middle-aged and elderly people will still prefer the old bazaar area rather than the new business district.

   "Grandma, let's eat glutinous rice balls, I haven't been here for a long time!"

  Pointing to a stall with a hunched body, Li Songlin pointed there excitedly.

  Four tables, sixteen benches, and a clean hand-rolled glutinous rice ball stand were displayed in front of them.

   "Grandpa, here are two bowls of glutinous rice balls, grandma and I."

   While talking, he smiled and gestured, how lively he looked!

   Li Songlin remembers not seeing this stall and this old man for several years!

  Seeing it again, I was really moved indescribably. I remember that when I was young, it was the place where my grandma rewarded him the most.

  Sesame glutinous rice **** are served with red soup. You don’t need to add anything. This bowl will satisfy him for a long time.

   Now that the boss is getting older, the timing of the stall is not so regular!

   "Jiang Xiaomei brought her grandson again, which one is this?"

   "The boss of the old family, Brother Jiang!"

   "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm getting old~"

  The boss greeted them with a smile, and put the freshly wrapped glutinous rice **** into the hot iron bucket one by one.

   Then he chatted with Grandma Li. He really didn't remember Li Songlin!

  The look of the two old people reminiscing about the old days seemed to bring him back to his primary school days;

  The smile has not changed, the breath of the stall has not changed, and you can still see the old people coming in twos and threes.

  Scenes like this and that were like a double-speed movie being quickly shown in front of him.

   "Da~"

   "The hot glutinous rice **** are ready, please enjoy them slowly!"

  Obviously old and hoarse voice, but the yelling is not lost at all.

   People are still the same group of people, but they are all old.

   "You eat first, grandma!"

   "Hoohoo, hot..."

   Blowing twice, he wanted to move the bowl closer to him, but the moment he touched the edge of the bowl, he retracted his paw without hesitation.

   Hastily put his hands on the frozen red earlobe, and kept rubbing carefully;

   "I know that you are impatient, just like your old man, you don't care about it, you silly boy~"

   "Grandma~"

  (_)

  Looking at the pitiful look of her grandson, Grandma Li just said "you" and stopped talking.

   Afterwards, the grandparents and grandson sat on the clean booth and ate while it was hot.

   This thing is eaten in such a way, let alone the taste is the same, it is still the original formula;

   While they were eating, another wave of old people chatted with the boss.

  I don’t leave after chatting, basically I order a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls, and then enjoy it slowly with my wife or friends...

   After a while, half a big bowl of gnocchi entered his stomach, and his body became more and more warm.

  The soup base of **** soup and brown sugar has an indescribable sweetness, which makes people unstoppably steamy.
