Chapter 163: Warmth
Li Yubo and Chao Yubo drove away from the school, dancing with the long queues of traffic, stopping and walking. It took them more than an hour to get close to home. They left a few minutes before arriving home. They left in different places. The courtyard.
It was around 10:50 when Chao Yubo returned to the compound. He first passed the guard inspection at the gate of the compound before the car was allowed to pass. He walked around the compound several times and drove the car to a single-family house along a path. two-story building.
The sensor street light in front of the small building was vibrated and lit up, illuminating the road. When the boy parked the car, the door of the beautiful small building opened, and several people rushed out. The first one was an old lady, who was said to be old. Madam, she actually looks about the same age as the aunties who dance square dances on the street. Her hair is pulled up into a bun with a silver hairpin. She wears spring and autumn clothes with a silk scarf tied around her neck. She has a noble temperament, even though she is an old lady. She is also an elegant and beautiful old lady.
A little behind is an old man with a head full of black hair mixed with silver, wearing a pair of square glasses, and full of the wise spirit of an old scientist.
Behind them is a couple at noon. The man is calm and elegant, and the woman also has her hair tied into a bun. She wears a black dress that reaches past her knees and a long knitted gauze coat. She has a light body, gentle and gentle appearance, and a smart look.
The last one is a woman in her early fifties with short hair. She is not as petite as the southern women. She is toned and energetic.
The five people, two men and three women, are members of the Chao family. The old man is the emperor of the Chao family, Chao Yubo's grandfather, whose name is Chao Xinghua; the old lady is his old wife, Ye Nianren.
The handsome middle-aged man is Chao Shenghui, the son of Mr. Chao, and the gentle and elegant lady is Chao Shenghui's daughter-in-law, Li Qingwan.
The last one is Aunt Ge Mei, the nanny of the Chao family. Aunt Ge is older than Mrs. Chao and has worked diligently in the Chao family for more than 20 years. Even if she is not related by blood, the Chao family has already regarded her as one of their own.
The five people rushed out of the house and ran eagerly to the Chery car that had just returned. Even if they did not lose their composure, they could not hide their excitement. Their eyes were shining brightly and their smiles were particularly friendly.
The elegant and beautiful old lady was the most anxious. She stepped on small high-heeled leather shoes with thick heels, and rushed towards Chery with a clanking sound. As she ran, she kept shouting: "My dear grandson, have you brought our little girl back?"
" ..." Chao Yubo silently shed a drop of cold sweat when he heard the bright voice of the ancestors of the Empress Dowager. He opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw his family members, he called them one by one. He smiled warmly and affectionately at the grandma who was running towards him: "Grandma, grandma, grandson is incompetent and couldn't bring our little princess back to pay your respects." "
Xiao Bo, is it true that Lele is not here?"
"Brother Bo, is it true that the little princess is not back?"
Mr. Chao, Father Chao, Mother Chao and Aunt Ge didn't believe it. They all looked around, hoping that a little girl could get out of the passenger compartment or the back seat to satisfy their eager expectations.
"My dear grandson, you really didn't bring your sister back?" Old Mrs. Chao rushed to the car and almost hugged her grandson who jumped out of the car. She immediately turned aside to open the back seat door to verify the truth. Fake.
The young boy, who was as tall as a slender bamboo, helplessly stretched out his hand to open the car door: "Grandma, it's really not true. How could your sweet grandson be willing to lie to you." The car door was opened, and the old
lady looked in. Well, it's really not true. ! No, it's just too sad.
"Why didn't you bring him back?" Old Mrs. Chao was very disappointed. She had been looking forward to Xiao Lele for a long time, and thought that this time she would finally get her wish to see that pink and tender little dumpling. But she behaved Sun was ineffective and let her down again.
The old lady was very sad, and Mr. Chao and his wife also expressed deep regret. Why didn't the little guy come to see them? Could it be that they are afraid that they will look evil? Or are you afraid that they are the kind of snobs who always gossip about each other?
"Ancestor, your little granddaughter who I haven't met yet is as independent and wise as you are. Your grandson is not strong enough to bring people back." After closing the car door, Chao Yubo turned around to pick up the backpack on the passenger seat. and computers.
Mrs. Chao was quite disappointed when she didn't see the little meat dumplings. She was about to take her good grandson home, but when he went to pick up something again, she waited for him to take out his bag and laptop, and then hurriedly went to help share the load: "Good grandson , something for grandma, don’t be tired.”
"Grandma, your grandson and I are healthy now. Don't talk about this thing. It's no problem for me to carry thirty or forty pounds and run three thousand meters." "Ah?!" All the young and old of the Chao family became surprised
. Are you mistaken? Their little prince can carry thirty or forty pounds and run three thousand meters?
They thought it must be an auditory hallucination. In the past, it was a fantasy that the young prince of the Chao family could carry three or four kilograms and walk a thousand meters without taking a breath.
Old Mrs. Chao didn't believe it either. She grabbed her grandson's laptop and carried it for her, and took her grandson's hand home. Don't doubt it, she really held her grandson's hand like a child.
The old men rushed forward. Outside, in official matters, the men of the Chao family have a lot of say. At home, in terms of life, the wife of the Chao family has always had the final say. Now the number one boss of the Chao family is the old lady. , ordered the whole family, and no one in the Chao family, young or old, dared to disobey.
Mr. Chao has three sons, and Mr. Chao is the youngest. The old man and his wife live with their younger son. It is not a preference, but the eldest son and the second son first got their careers, and then got married and each had their own place to live. In some years, the foreigner was even absent. In Beijing, later, the only son of the third generation of the Chao family was born. He was frail and needed care, so the old man always lived with his younger son.
The Chao family now lives in housing allocated by the state for the families of cadres. Mr. Chao once did not hold real power. He was a national geologist and worked hard for the national oil industry all his life; the old lady is an old educator and devoted her whole life to the national education industry; Chao’s father now She works in the Ministry of Education, and Chao’s mother works in the Inspection Department.
The current housing of the Chao family is not allocated to Mr. Chao or his father, but to Mr. Chao's father, Mrs. Chao, who has been holding important positions in state departments.
The building is designed according to the old-style requirements for three to four or five generations of a family to live in. The building has two floors, a total of eight bedrooms, a study room, and a private living room. It is very spacious.
The living room is large, with lighting from two sides. There are no fancy decorations, just simple orange walls. The furniture is mainly elegant, simple, friendly and natural.
In the large living room, two large plates of fruit platters and snacks were placed on the huanghuali wood coffee table. Fresh flowers and succulent bonsai were placed on the TV counter. There was also a stuffed rabbit doll on the large sofa.
Chao Yubo was pulled home, looked around, and shed three drops of cold sweat. Without asking, he knew that this was the work of his grandma and mother Aunt Ge, thinking that he might bring Xiao Lele home. , so I prepared fruits and snacks early, and also made a stuffed toy that the little girl likes.
I have to say that the three great women in his family worked hard to make the little girl happy!
The boy pretended not to notice the elder's special arrangement and sat down with his family. He was rummaging through his backpack. Aunt Ge was quick and poured a glass of warm water for his brother.
"Xiao Bo, what are you looking for?" The old couple from the Chao family and the other four of them looked at their children rummaging through their bags with inquiring expressions on their faces.
"Lele has a gift for me to bring back."
"Lele gave me a gift?"
The four parents of the two generations of the Chao family were extremely excited. The old lady was surprised and happy, and quickly helped her grandson pull the backpack: "Oh, I Let's just say, girls are caring little cotton-padded jackets."
"Mom, my daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Where is my son?" Chao's father was jealous. He had three brothers in his generation. Including his family, there were more than a dozen men of the same generation, only three of them. There are more boys than girls in the whole family, so until his son's generation, well, probably to make up for the regret of the old Chao family having girls, his first two brothers gave birth to girls, and they were born to his cousins of the same generation in his hometown. They were all girls, so that in the next generation of the Chao family, only his son was a boy.
"A daughter is her mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket, and a son is also his mother's caring little treasure when he is a child. When he grows up, he usually rebels and listens to his father and becomes his father's caring little cotton-padded jacket." This does not mean that a son will be close to his father when he grows up
. Close to mom? In fact, they are inseparable. When boys grow up, they basically have many topics in common with their fathers, but they don't communicate much with their mothers.
Thinking about it, what the mother said made sense. Dad stopped talking and Mr. Chao didn't interrupt. Who said his son would listen to him most of the time except for life matters.
Chao's mother and Aunt Ge pursed their lips and had fun. Chao Yubo seemed to have some thoughts: "In this way, if mom and grandma have Lele's little cotton-padded jacket, I can only be dad and grandpa's little cotton-padded jacket."
"Well, that's very good." The old man nodded happily, and Chao's father also thought it was very good. There was a girl who was pampered by the queen mother and queen at home. He, his father, and Xiaobo must spend more time together than before.
"Xiaobo is different. Xiaobo is also my mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket." Chao's mother even smiles gently and lovingly.
"Old lady, madam, have you noticed that Brother Bo seems to be a different person?" Aunt Ge poured warm water for Brother Bo, removed the fruits and snacks on the table, and sat down to observe Brother Bo. The more surprised.
"Where is it?"
"Let me take a look."
"Xiao Bo, let me take a look."
The old man, the old lady, Father Chao and Mother Chao seemed to have springs under their buttocks. They jumped up, surrounded the child, and straightened the child. Faces, staring at each other, looking left and right, you look at me, the four of them have big eyes and small eyes, and their eyes are getting rounder and rounder.
"Yes, yes, it's really different. My whole person has a new look." "
Yes, Xiaobo's eyes are dark and bright, and he's very energetic." "
My skin is bright and elastic, my face is rosy, and my energy is better than mine."
"The lips are no longer pale or dry. They are plump, moist, and full of tenderness." The
four elders commented on their brother. Even though his brother has been relatively healthy in recent years, his lips have always been... He looked dehydrated, slightly pale and bloodless, and his face did not look like anemia. It always had a weak air. Now his complexion is smooth, his complexion is rosy, his eyes are clear and bright, and he is radiant.
He looks as healthy and energetic as a normal boy. How does he look like the frail Bo brother they used to have?
In just a few days, my brother has undergone earth-shaking changes, a miracle, simply a miracle!
The four parents looked at the boy and breathed rapidly with excitement. They had worried so much about this child's health, fearing that this single seedling would not live to be thirty, as some people had diagnosed, lest he He always has to take a step to catch his breath, lest he cannot marry and have children normally.
Over the years, they have never really felt relieved. Now, the child finally has a spirit! Spirituality is a spiritual aspect. They watch their children grow up and it is clear at a glance whether their children are spiritually good or not.
With spirit, there is vitality.
The old lady's eyes filled with excitement. Chao's mother silently stretched out her hand to wipe the rolling water droplets in her eyes. The old man and Chao's father also quietly turned around and rubbed their eyes, and then turned around and became calm again. However, that His eyes couldn't deceive anyone, they were full of joy.
The four parents looked and looked, as if they couldn't get enough.
The fourth master of the Chao family stared at Brother Bo, and Aunt Ge was also very emotional. Brother Bo is getting healthier, which is great! When Brother Bo is well, the old man and his wife will be well. When Brother Bo is well, the Chao family will be better.
Chao Yubo, who was looked at like a monkey, completely ignored the looks in his parents' eyes. Anyway, he had seen those looks too many times. Every time something happened, his family members would gather around and look at them. After being looked at so many times, he was immune. .
"Have fun, don't worry about your health." The beautiful young man put out the food bag in his backpack, and smiled gently with a low eyebrow: "Don't look at me, I won't run away, so hurry up and take a look at the good things I brought back. "
Hey!"
The four parents responded unanimously, then realized that they had lost their composure and sat down awkwardly. After adjusting, the four of them watched their brother open the food bag and show the contents, their eyes widened. .
Aunt Ge was the smartest one. She ran to the locker to get a bamboo basket filled with fruits and distributed gifts to Brother Bo.
"These are pollution-free health ingredients that Lele gave us, yams and lilies, as well as rare matsutake and versicolor versicolor. Don't think they are ordinary goods. Lele produces them. They are definitely the best things you have never seen. I I’ll talk about how to eat it later.
This is for grandpa, this is for dad, this is for grandma, mom, and Aunt Ge. Everyone has a share and everyone is polite. The health tea for the old men includes ginseng slices and iron bark. Dendrobium, grandma and mother Auntie Ge’s scented tea, mainly dendrobium flowers, with precious medicinal flowers and leaves, is a health-preserving tea that detoxifies, beautifies the skin, and nourishes the mind and body.
Lele repeatedly warned her not to be greedy and to only soak a little bit at a time. For ginseng slices and tiepifengdou, soak one slice or one bucket at a time. You can soak up to two maple buckets at most. If you soak too much, you will be exhausted and may suffer from diarrhea or diarrhea. When you have a nosebleed, you are responsible for the consequences. More importantly, Lele said that whoever does not follow the instructions eats and drinks randomly, and will not be filial to you when there are good things in the future. When the day comes when Lele ignores you, don’t come to me to cry and complain, little Lele I can’t bear to be angry. "
The young man distributed the gifts to his parents one by one. Even his threats to the elders were so confident and clear.
In addition to studying knowledge, almost all old scientists also love tea. Drinking a cup of tea on the way to study knowledge can refresh you and relax you. , thought it was the most wonderful life.
Mr. Chao was no exception. Hearing that he had one of his own, he immediately grabbed it, opened it and smelled it. The fragrance hit his nostrils, and he was so happy that he was about to run to find his own. After brewing tea in a private cup, he sat down again with a heavy butt and said, "Brother Bo, the rest are also for my old man, right?
"Grandpa, you can't be too greedy. This is Lele's share for grandpa and grandma, as well as for uncles and aunts. I will keep it personally. Don't try to cut it off. If grandpa dares to be greedy, please ask our empress dowager to step in. " Confiscate your share. "
I heard that even my mother-in-law's family was involved. Mother Chao's face was full of smiles. Little Lele is really a considerate and good child. She is considerate in everything and is so heartwarming. Mr. Chao rolled his eyes and discussed with his grandson seriously
. : "Brother Bo, you can help keep your grandpa's things, and give your uncle's things to grandpa. Grandpa will take care of them so that your dad won't worry about them. "
Grandpa, you asked me to collect the tea from uncle and uncle for you. You want to pass the tax quietly, right?" "Chao Yubo looked at his grandfather funny, don't think he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mrs. Chao glanced at the old guy who was her son's brother: "Promise! "
Oh, let me just tell you. I have no intention of secretly transferring my status. Besides, this is Lele's way of honoring his elders. If he robbed it, he would have concealed Lele's respect for the elderly. My moral character is not that bad, hum. My grandson actually treats me like that, I... forget it, I'm going to make tea and try the good tea our little girl gave me. "
Mr. Chao felt extremely humiliated when his old wife glared at him. He defended himself seriously, trying to pretend to be pitiful to win his grandson's sympathy. When he saw his old wife glaring at him again, he changed the topic and ran away with a guilty conscience. Go find a cup and make tea.
Father Chao was afraid that the old man would rob him, so without saying a word, he hurriedly sent something upstairs to put in his briefcase and decided to take it to the office tomorrow to avoid being tricked by the old man.
Old Mrs. Chao, Mother Chao, and Aunt Ge were all beaming with joy. They held a sealed bag of scented tea and couldn't put it down. The scented tea is a mixture of several kinds of flowers. The flower pieces are very thin and the color is very beautiful and bright.
Aunt Ge watched for a while, then went to get a cup, a hot water kettle, two chopsticks, and asked Bo Brother how much tea was best to make at one time.
The young man explained in a gentle tone, took a little bit of scented tea with his chopsticks, and told the elder that it was about that amount, you could have a little more, but it couldn't be more than one and a half times or twice as much.
While making tea, we talked about how to eat the ingredients and how much to eat at one time.
The three old ladies listened very carefully and even shouted to make a memo. In the end, they actually found a notepad and made a special memo. They then put the ingredients away like treasures and put them in a special place to avoid messing with other things. mix.
Mr. Chao took his personal water cup and brewed an iron maple cup, and waited. The more he waited, the more he felt itchy. After only fifteen minutes, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he poured a small cup to drink first.
When you open the cup, a fragrance escapes, which makes everyone say "good smell". Then pour the tea soup into the cup. The color of the tea soup is clear and crisp, like the snow on the iceberg, which makes people feel noble and noble for no reason.
The old man eagerly picked up the cup, blew it, and took a sip. The sweet taste and elegant aroma entered his throat, and his mouth was filled with fragrance.
Mr. Chao immediately took a second sip, and on the third sip, well, it was gone!
"Old man, how is it?"
"Dad, how does it taste?"
"Old man, does it taste good?"
The old lady and Father Chao, Mother Chao and Aunt Ge asked eagerly. They also wanted to try it!
"Don't say it, don't say it!" The old man closed his eyes and shook his head, looking intoxicated.
The four people who had their appetites aroused said: "..."
The old lady's eyebrows were raised, and she was about to show off her power, when she heard a warm and heart-warming voice: "I want to ask about how I feel after tea, I know, please listen to me in detail, Drink the tea prepared by Xiao Lele. The first sip will fill your mouth with fragrance. The second sip will fill your throat with sweetness. The third sip will make you feel like you are bathing in the spring sun. If you continue to drink a few more sips, your body and mind will be warm and your whole body will feel warm. It produces a fragrant aroma. Drink about a hundred milliliters at a time, and your body will be like Mount Tai, with the power to split Mount Huashan, and the majestic wind that dares to carry Mount Tai across the East China Sea. It will ensure that you will be energetic and radiant all day long." The young man's voice is moving, like the sound of nature
, Instantly calming down the old lady's slightly angry mood, Mr. Chao was still intoxicated with the endless aftertaste, shaking his head and replied: "Like! Like! Like! Brother Bo said it so wonderfully. It's such a good tea. I want to drink it again." Five hundred cups!"
The old man's last words were so passionate that everyone was so happy that they laughed out loud. The old lady was also amused and laughed from ear to ear: "Drink another five hundred cups, you Let's sleep in the toilet tonight."
Mr. Chao's eyelids twitched fiercely. In order not to be chased by his wife to sleep in the toilet, he kept silent. The toilet was very clean and it was not a big deal to sleep in the toilet for one night. However, sleeping in the toilet was detrimental to his face. ah.
The old man was fascinated by the two sips of tea. The old lady, Mother Chao, and Aunt Ge couldn't help but hold their own scented tea with both hands. They opened the lid and saw the petals washing in the water. The tea soup was a little golden, just like the rays of the first sun. The golden color is elegant and heart-warming.
The ladies sipped and tasted gracefully, one sip after another. Their smiles rippled with the tea soup, as light as clouds and soft as moonlight.
"Madam, how are you?" Chao's father couldn't stand the temptation and looked at his beloved wife expectantly.
Chao's mother was busy appreciating the wonderful experience brought by scented tea, so she had no time to pay attention to him and simply ignored his existence.
When he didn't get the answer, Chao's father was about to ask his mother for advice when he smelled another fragrance and found that it was his only seedling. Brother Bo unscrewed the thermos cup he carried with him and was about to drink tea. He followed his plan and moved forward quickly. He leaned forward, grabbed his son's teacup, and took a sip from the cow.
That sip of cow drink filled his mouth with tea. He turned back and sat down calmly under the surprised eyes of the three ladies. Then he swallowed the tea he had grabbed and swallowed. Suddenly he felt a sweetness in his throat, like a stream of fire. Yue took a sip of ice water and felt refreshed.
The old lady waited for her son to swallow the tea, then raised her eyebrows and said, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Your father wants to steal his son's share. It's not shameful for you to steal your son's." Chao's father smiled with saliva on his face
. , No shame, no shame, it is only natural that I steal my son.
"Dad, my tea was tailor-made for me by Lele. It's not suitable for you. Don't keep trying to steal it." The young man glanced over again when he saw his father's eyes, and cut off his path with a long word.
Chao's father originally wanted to grab a few sips, but after hearing what his son said, his old face turned red: "I'm just going to taste it and see if it's bitter or sweet. Brother Bo is so stingy. Why don't you guard me against such a little thing?" Okay, okay, I'm going to bed, you can do whatever you want."
He was afraid that his mother and wife would spit fire at him for snatching his son's tea, so Father Chao laughed, stood up smartly, and fled the scene pretending to be calm.
"I'm going to bed too." The old man also decided to hide in the study to taste it slowly, took his own glass of water and left.
The old lady originally had many things to ask her grandson and how his health was. Considering that it was getting late, she was afraid of tiring her precious grandson, so she asked everyone to rest.
