"Sprain your ankle? Did he hurt his bones? Let me see if you've applied ice on it and if you've taken any medicine…"
Seeing how nervous He Yuzhu was, Old Mrs. Han grabbed his hand and said,""Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I've lived for more than half my life. It's just a little swollen.”
He Yuzhu carefully lifted the blanket and saw a bruise on the Deaf Old Lady's ankle.
"Old Madam, why didn't you ask someone to call me for such a big matter?”He Yuzhu complained angrily.
"Sigh, you're working. Cooking for so many workers is much more important than taking care of me.”The old lady patted He Yuzhu's hand and said.
"You must not have eaten. I asked Yu Shui to take care of you these days. Just take good care of yourself…"
Just as she said this, she heard the voices of an old man and an old woman outside the door.
"Why don't I see the old lady going out?”said First Uncle.
"Yes, I was busy with the Jia family's matters today and didn't have the time to see her.”It was the voice of a middle-aged woman.
"Old Lady, we're in?" The door was pushed open.
When First Uncle saw the expressions of the Deaf Grandmother and He Yuzhu lying on the bed, his expression changed.
"What's wrong?" A middle-aged woman hurried forward.
" You guys only know how to hold a big meeting. The old lady sprained her ankle for a whole day, and no one came to care..." He Yuzhu said angrily.
In fact, he knew that other than his courtyard house, perhaps only an old man and an old woman treated the Deaf Old Lady the best.
"Yo. Old Madam, how did you get injured? "Why didn't you call us…Let me see…" A middle-aged woman's face was filled with guilt.
First Uncle also rushed over to check.
"It's fine. Don't listen to the Zhu Zi. It's just a twist. It'll be fine after a few days.”the old lady said with a smile.
"Let's go to the hospital and take an X-ray to see if you hurt your bones.”First Uncle immediately got up, probably to go get the flatbed cart.
"Old Yi, there's no need. Listen to me. I know if I hurt my bones. Sit down and listen to me!”the old lady said anxiously.
Yi Zhonghai saw that the old lady was so anxious that she was about to sit up. He quickly stopped in his tracks.
"My ankle is an old injury. I injured it when I was pushing a cart to deliver food to our army. At that time, it was swollen to the size of my calf. However, I was afraid that others would notice and not let me go, so I didn't tell others. After sending the food back, I recuperated for almost a year before the swelling disappeared. If she was not careful when walking, she would twist her ankle. His bones were fine. Don't worry."
Hearing the old lady's words, the three people in the room were filled with veneration.
He Yuzhu didn't expect the skinny old lady in front of her to be so strong.
"Zhu Zi, from now on, you will take care of the old lady. The old lady likes to eat your cooking, so you can just take care of the old lady's food.”said First Uncle.
He Yuzhu really admired First Uncle's kindness. Although he had some selfishness, compared to his generosity and sincerity, that small flaw could be ignored.
"Alright, then it's settled. I'll go back and make dumplings for the old lady now. Let's go together. If there's too much filling, there's no noodles left. I'll take some from the old lady first.”He Yuzhu said.
"I have plenty of noodles at home, so I'll let you, an auntie, live straight away. You can make the filling and cook it together later. The old lady must be hungry too." said First Uncle.
"Dumplings? What filling?" The old lady was as happy as a child.
"Chives and eggs, how about it? Old Madam." He Yuzhu asked with a smile.
At this time, the deaf old lady's hearing was not as bad as in the TV series.
When she heard that it was chives and eggs, her eyes immediately narrowed into slits."Good, that's great! I'm proud of this!"
"Alright, then you rest. I'll go make the filling.”He Yuzhu walked out.
The first uncle's gaze could not help but follow He Yuzhu's back.
He had seen He Yuzhu come back empty-handed with his own eyes. He didn't see him carrying chives and eggs.
That era was not like now. There were enough vegetables and ingredients in the refrigerator for a week.
However, after a while, the bright smell of chives came from He Yuzhu's house.
Not to mention the Deaf Old Lady's house, the entire Siheyuan could almost smell it.
Many children at home sniffed at the cornbread and salted vegetables in front of them."Who's making chives dumplings? Is this even worth living for?!"
Even the three sons of the third uncle also asked the third aunt with a bitter face,"Mom, when can we have chives dumplings?”
Third Uncle divided the salted radish strips on the plate of pickles and said,"Why are you eating dumplings when it's not New Year's? Come, three for each of you. Third, don't eat so fast. If there's no more food later, don't tell me you can't swallow that half of the cornbread!!”
At Second Uncle's house, Second Aunt kept sniffing.
"Old man, this smell came from Silly Zhu's house. How did he get into such a big trouble? Why did he even eat dumplings to celebrate?”Second Aunt was blatantly jealous.
"He works in the canteen. He must have stolen the chives in the canteen. However, this kid is too ostentatious. Can the smell of chives be hidden? Now, everyone in the quad was drooling at home because of him.”Second Uncle said with a dark face.
There were five people in the Deaf Old Lady's house, including Yu Shui, who had just returned from school.
There were five large plates of dumplings in front of her. The old lady sat on the bed with a small Kang table on top of her. There were steaming dumplings and a plate of vinegar on the table.
"Brother, it's the new year. It's too delicious!!”Rainwater's thin face was covered in sweat as she ate with relish.
Ps: I only want free flowers. Give others roses, leave the fragrance in your hands!
