The two rooms on the south side are clean and tidy, with simple white walls showing a rustic atmosphere, and a small electric heater. The grandpa said that you can put a circle on the side to roast sweet potatoes for eating.
After settling down, Feng Jian and Zhou Muqing were chatting in the same room, while grandparents were secretly preparing dinner for the first day.
"How did you find this homestay? Will the two elderly people rent rooms online?"
Zhou Muqing laughed at that time, "Of course the old man can't, I must have thought of this, so I used another method."
"What? You asked yourself?"
Zhou Muqing explained this matter with a smile. He asked his assistant to contact a local, and then asked him for a fair and reasonable price, asking him to choose a clean and simple house to trade on their behalf.
"You're really fast."
Looking at Fengjian's happy look, he knew that he had done the right thing, "Just as long as you are satisfied."
As night fell, grandpa brought some washed and roasted sweet potatoes to Kazami and Zhou Muqing, "Put this next to the stove, it can be eaten tomorrow morning."
In the city, breakfast is stuffed buns, porridge, sandwiches, coffee, etc. There are relatively few coarse grains, such as corn and sweet potatoes, which have to be deliberately bought in the market, and sweet potatoes are not available for breakfast everywhere.
Kazami took the sweet potatoes and happily placed them next to the stove, thanking Grandpa by the way.
"Don't sit still, dinner is ready, come and eat."
Kazami looked at Grandpa in surprise, "You still prepared dinner for us?"
Grandpa nodded, "I know you are from the city, so stay for two days for a change, and try the food here."
Zhou Muqing only asked people to arrange a place to stay, and he knew that the owners were two old people, so he didn't ask for food at all. He didn't expect the two old people to be so proactive and heart-warming.
At the old man's invitation, Zhou Muqing and Feng met the east room for dinner.
The thick cotton curtains, when the heat is lifted, it is warm and fragrant, like the smell of food.
Feng Jian couldn't wait to sit down, and Zhou Muqing also sat down immediately. The two elderly people liked them very much, and expressed their gratitude to them for coming to live here and for giving them back so much money.
"We don't want to trouble you two."
Grandpa immediately responded to Zhou Muqing's words, "How can it be troublesome? The New Year is going to be lively. We are very happy that you are here. Thank you for staying at home. The money is too much. I have to return it to you."
After saying that, Grandpa got up and went to the bedroom, took out a wad of cash and stuffed it into Zhou Muqing's hand.
"It's really not that much, the house and these meals are worthless."
Zhou Muqing wanted to go back, but his grandfather had already sat back in his seat, talking about eating and not talking about other things.
Kazami tasted these home-cooked dishes, the taste was indescribable in the mouth, like a memory scratched on the tip of the heart, it was a touch.
The ditches and ravines on grandma's face seem to prove the experience of this meal. After decades of life, these tastes have been with her for a lifetime.
"tasty."
She shed tears unconsciously, but quickly wiped them away, and no one saw them except Zhou Muqing noticed.
When Zhou Muqing wanted to ask, she winked and didn't let him continue.
Feng Jian ate three bowls of rice for an unprecedented time, which was probably the most she had eaten this year, even more than the last time she ate at Lu Zexiao's house when she ate the food cooked by her aunt.
