Chapter 289
After making the phone call, Qin Mutong returned home and the old lady greeted her for dinner: "...Call Fang Yi? How about he being alone in the provincial capital? Nowadays, it is not easy to do a small business, so he even mentioned that he is like that. He has no relatives in the provincial capital, so he may suffer much more. When you are fine, you can also call people twice more, care more about him, so that he can't live alone outside. It's hard to live in your heart."
Unexpectedly, the old lady still understands this.
Qin Mutong said with a funny look: "Okay, I understand. You have changed so much now, and you are so generous when spending money. Brother Fang Yi is in the provincial capital, and I call here, which is a long-distance. The long-distance phone bill is expensive, and it would be even more amazing if you call frequently. Are you willing to bear it?"
As soon as the phone bill was mentioned, the old lady suddenly felt distressed.
The main reason is that she doesn't usually use this phone, and even if she uses it, she doesn't need to pay for it herself. So even if the old lady knows that it's expensive, she usually can't remember it.
"If you don't mention this, I'll forget it!" the old lady said with her eyebrows, "What should I do? Let Fang Yi be alone outside, not even a person asking about her well-being?"
Qin Mutong: "..."
Seeing what the old lady said, the ignorant person thought that Zheng Fangyi was really a pitiful lonely man!
"It's okay, we can just call the phone." Qin Mutong had no choice but to say, "Brother Fang Yi has earned so much money outside, can he not even make such a little phone bill?"
The old lady suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right..."
As he said that, the old lady pretended to be angry and patted Qin Mutong on the arm: "I want you to scare me! I really think our family can't afford the phone bill!"
In the past, even if the old lady had a lot of private money in her hands, she was very careful in living. She would never be willing to spend so much money, just to make a phone call from time to time and chat on the phone.
But now, she has lived in a villa in the provincial capital. Are she still afraid that she can't afford the phone bill?
The old lady is now rich and generous.
Qin Mutong said aggrievedly: "Didn't I learn from you with my breasts? No matter how much money we have, don't we still have to live thrift?"
old lady:"……"
This girl has really grown up and can even talk back to her so much that she can't speak!
"Then you follow me to study hard!" the old lady said gritting her teeth, "I have lived for most of my life, and there are still more things you can learn!"
"That's it!" Qin Mutong proudly hugged the old lady's arm, "You are our baby, I will learn from you for the rest of my life!"
As soon as these words were said, the old lady just wanted to pretend to be angry, she couldn't hold on.
"You, I don't know who I learned this little mouth from, so I'll make a fuss about it. Our ancestors have been honest for generations, and no one has the ability to do this!" The old lady said speechlessly.
But the corners of her bent mouth revealed her good mood at this moment.
Qin Mutong smiled and said, "I raised my breasts. Of course, I learned how to coax people from my breasts!"
"Nonsense!" The old lady glared at Qin Mutong, but couldn't help laughing, "Look at your mouth, it's the same as your mother..."
Before he could finish his words, the old lady's face froze.
Oh no, why didn't she pay attention for a while and mentioned Tongtong's mother?!
The old lady suddenly felt panicked, and her expression was a little unnatural.
Qin Mutong knew the old lady’s knot and smiled and said, “My mother, you are shirking responsibility. From the beginning of my memory, you are teaching me about eating and doing things. Now that I am growing up, you will not admit that you taught me... This is not possible!”
The implication is that Qin Mutong was raised by an old lady. No matter what happens in the future, she will only recognize the old lady as an elder!
The old lady has lived at such an old age, what can I understand?
She immediately understood the meaning of Qin Mu's fairy tale.
The old man's eyes became red in an instant.
If the old lady hadn't controlled her timely control, I'd be afraid that the old tears would have fallen down the corners of her eyes.
The good granddaughter she raised did not disappoint her after all!
The old lady's eyes were filled with tears and she smiled with relief: "Didide, I, the old lady, can't you be like you little girl! You are the one I teach, can't I accept it?"
"That's right!"
Qin Mutong pretended not to see the tears in the old lady's eyes, and smiled and pulled the old lady to the dining table to sit down and eat: "Mmm, what day is this? You have made so many delicious foods! I like this fried shredded potatoes the most, and I won't get tired of eating them every day! And this braised eggplant and tomato meatball soup... Is it an important festival today that I don't remember?"
"Stupid girl, you'll scream like I've abused you!" The old lady said angrily, "Don't we usually eat the same food as we do? There's nothing different today?"
Qin Mutong paused and suddenly smiled, "My mother, I remember the days when we were in the village. I remember a few years ago, when I was still in elementary school, my family was poor and life was not easy. One day, I saw several children in the village who were passing by our door with roasted red potatoes. I was so greedy that I wanted to ask you to roast red potatoes for me too. But you didn't agree, saying that red potatoes are our food rations, and they had to count them and eat more. I didn't have the nerve to beg you again, but in the end you still couldn't bear it. While cooking, you quietly buried a big red potato in the stove. Later, when you gave me the roasted red potatoes, I was so excited that I almost jumped up and I was happy for several months."
When talking about these past events, the old lady also felt a lot of emotion: "At that time, my family was poor, and our family didn't have much investment, so we had to save some food and clothing? In fact, our family was not that far from that time, but our family had no men to support us, so we were less confident than others. If we let others know that we were all eating and drinking at home all day, we were afraid that our grandparents and grandchildren would have been gnawed to death long ago!"
At that time, the Qin family was really not short of money, but if they had money, the Qin family would not be as good as that.
Cooking porridge with red potatoes is the staple food of the Qin family every day.
