339. Grain(2/2)

Mother Zhao, who was busy in the kitchen, quickly put down what she was doing and made a bowl of malted milk with boiling water.

As soon as the malted milk came out, the whole room was filled with that sweet smell.

As soon as it was served, the old man looked at Nuannuan with a smile.

"Don't be polite when you get here. It's just like you're at home."

After saying this, the old man smiled kindly.

Nuan Nuan did not refuse, and said thank you to the old man generously, then picked up the malted milk, blew it gently, and took a sip.

It tastes just like I imagined, especially sweet.

Seeing Nuan Nuan drink, the old man smiled heartily.

Said: "I must have been very tired after traveling all the way back. Didn't I even have a good meal outside? I will stay at grandpa's house to eat tonight."

Nuan Nuan almost choked at the sound of grandpa.

Look at the old man respectfully.

"You are too polite."

Calling this person grandpa is something you would never dream of doing.

The old man saw that Nuan Nuan was a little nervous. He also changed the tone of his words and talked about other topics to ease the atmosphere.

"You are a very cautious girl. Don't be so nervous here with me. When Lao Dou and I were young, we were comrades in arms. There is nothing wrong with you calling me grandpa. When you get married, I will have to

Go and sit on Schiller. Do you think you should call me grandpa according to your seniority?"

After hearing what the old man said, Nuannuan wanted to give him a thumbs up.

Everything you said is right.

In the end, Nuannuan stayed for dinner.

The dinner at the old man's house is also very simple. When Nuan Nuan came, he specially added two dishes. Three dishes and one soup for two people.

The only thing that tasted fishy was the plate of minced meat and fried tofu, which tasted particularly good.

The old man picked up the plate boldly and gave half of the stir-fried tofu with minced meat to Nuan Nuan.

"You kids are still growing, so eat more."

This old man was so polite that Nuan Nuan couldn't contain his enthusiasm, and in the end he was a little full.

The old man also eats very simply and frugally.

Normally we have one dish and one meal, but today we have warm food, so I fried two more dishes.

Even the soup was drunk cleanly.

After eating, the old man touched his swollen belly.

"It's all thanks to you, a little girl, that I'm so full today."

The old man’s simple words revealed how much sadness he felt.

Nuannuan raised her eyes and looked at him like this.

"Even your food is so simple, let alone other people's. Grandpa, I know a little about the purpose of why you asked me to come. This time I bought a total of 10 tons of food from abroad. In a month, they will buy it from the sea

Come here. Please send someone to receive these grains."

This batch of grain was originally purchased for the country.

Now that we are in a period of development, we must ensure that the most important people have enough to eat. Only when they are full can we be able to contribute to our industry.

So Nuannuan plans to donate this batch of food to Wu Chang.

I had no intention of making money from this. Even selling it to the common people would be a drop in the bucket.

The old man's words were really warm, and his eyes suddenly focused on her face. Her smile slowly shrank.

Take a deep breath quietly.

He spoke with some uncertainty: "Do you mean to give me all this food?"

Facing the old man's question, Nuannuan nodded.

Then he said something that shocked him even more.

"It's not easy for us now, and food is also very tight, so I specially bought this batch of food from abroad and donated it free of charge."

When the old man heard this, his heart almost stopped.

He had already calculated how much money he would give to Nuannuan, but the girl said something shocking, which scared his heart.

The old man calmed down and waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, no, how can we donate for free? We can't be greedy for this advantage. It's not cheap to buy those grains. How can we let you spend money, little girl? Let's do the calculation how we want."

The old man’s attitude is firm.

And Nuan Nuan has also made up her mind to use these ten tons of grain as a stepping stone to completely tie her family to the boss's ship, so that she can be safe in the future.

The old man is aboveboard. If he doesn't find a reasonable reason, he may not be able to accept the food.

Nuannuan has already thought of the reason.

"Grandpa, based on our relationship, shouldn't it be right for my granddaughter to get you some food? Just accept it. It's not easy now, and the family is short of money. Otherwise, we will owe it first and wait until things get better in the future.

How do you pay me back?"

This...

The old man couldn't find fault with her excuse.

This girl is too smart to find such a good excuse.

In this way, it is not considered a free donation. In the future, I will give it whenever I have it, but in their current situation, it is not certain when.

The old man smiled bitterly.

"You're such a smart girl. What kind of blessings did that kid from the Lu family have to get in order to marry such a wonderful wife like you? I'm jealous of you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then the two of them moved to the study room, and the old man insisted on writing an IOU to Nuannuan.

Afterwards, we talked about the situation abroad and let Nuannuan go back.

Before leaving, the old man sent Nuannuan outside the gate.

Wave and say goodbye to her.

"Girl, come over and play when you have time. Grandpa will even make malted milk for you to drink."

When Nuannuan heard this, she smiled sweetly and waved goodbye to him.

When he came out, Chen Dabao was holding a cotton coat in his hand.

That cotton coat still looks like a new one.

Chen Dabao was afraid that Nuannuan would misunderstand, so he quickly explained to her.

"This cotton-padded coat was newly made by my wife for our daughter. She hasn't worn it yet, so feel free to wear it."

After hearing that Xiao Zhao said that the old man wanted to stay with Nuan Nuan for dinner, Chen Dabao hurriedly drove home to pick up clothes.

This time, I didn’t even take a breath.

This dark blue floral cotton-padded jacket is so well made, and the stitching is so dense that it looks like it was made by a sewing machine.

Nuannuan quickly declined.

"Uncle Chen, why is this happening? My aunt made this for your daughter. Take it back quickly. I'm not cold."

Since she started practicing martial arts, her body has become so good that the cold wind is nothing to worry about.

Chen Dabao thought Nuan Nuan was being polite and directly stuffed the clothes into her hands.

"Don't be so polite to me. It's so cold, so don't freeze you."

It's already mid-October, and it might snow in a few days. How could it not be cold?

Chen Dabao was so persistent that Nuannuan had no choice but to accept the clothes.
