My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 284
Mother Xu hugged her eldest granddaughter for 5 minutes before Xu Dong stepped forward to remind her:

"Mom, it's windy and sandy outside, so let's talk in the house if you have something to say!"

"Yes, yes, come in, I've made dumplings, and I'll cook them when you come back." Mother Xu wiped away her tears, and quickly echoed.

As soon as the group entered the room, Yang Lina walked towards them. It turned out that she had already put the dumplings in the pot while everyone was talking, and it happened to be out of the pot at this moment.

"Mom, the dumplings are already cooked."

"Okay, Boss, Boss' wife, and Jingyi, let's go eat dumplings." Mama Xu greeted.

Tan Aifang looked at her siblings who were living and getting younger, and she had mixed feelings for a moment. She also married into the old Xu's family, and the fortunes in this life were too bad.

At this time, Dabao rushed out from the kitchen and hugged Xu Ma's thigh: "Grandma, grandma, I want to eat dumplings."

Mama Xu took her eldest grandson by the hand.

"Yes, there are. Grandma has made a lot of dumplings to ensure that our Dabao can eat enough."

Xu Jingyi smiled and squatted down: "Da Bao, do you still remember Eldest Sister?"

Dabao looked at grandma blankly.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "This is your cousin, didn't grandma tell you yesterday, call me eldest sister."

"Big sister, hello, I'm Dabao!" Dabao said obediently.

"Dabao is so good." Xu Jingyi patted her little cousin on the head, then raised her head and asked, "Little aunt, where is Erbao, why didn't you see anyone?"

"He is watching TV in the room with Xiao Xu. Today is the first day of the winter vacation. The TV station rebroadcasts "Journey to the West", and he has been clamoring to watch it since yesterday." Yang Lina explained with a smile.

"Don't worry about them, I just finished lunch and I'm not hungry." Mother Xu waved her hand and then led everyone into the dining room.

After a while, three bowls of steaming hot dumplings came out, and the eldest couple immediately reached out to pick them up, then picked up the soup spoons and were ready to eat.

Dabao's eyes widened: "Uncle, uncle, you haven't washed your hands yet. Grandma said that you should wash your hands before eating, or your stomach will hurt."

Children speak without restraint, but Xu Bin and his wife are extremely embarrassed.

Luyang is short of water, and the three of them have long lost the habit of washing their hands before meals, even Xu Jingyi, who often lives on campus, is no exception.

This time when she came here, Tan Aifang gritted her teeth, spent a lot of money to buy a bucket of water, and the family of three scrubbed their bodies well, so as to maintain the most basic decency.

Xu Dong quickly opened his mouth to make a rescue: "Jingyi, look at your face covered with sweat, go to the bathroom and wash your face before eating!"

"Okay!"

Xu Jingyi agreed happily, and took her parents away before leaving.

In the bathroom, Xu Bin took a large basin of water in a fit of anger, and poured the water into the sewer after washing himself.

Tan Aifang became impatient, and slapped her husband's arm hard: "What's wrong with your brain? You're just angry, why are you wasting water like this?"

"Anyway, they don't lack water here, why do you feel distressed?" Xu Bin put on a nonchalant expression.

"You are a real person, a big man, why are you angry with children?" Tan Aifang scolded.

Xu Jingyi also frowned: "Dad..."

"Okay, okay, I see." Xu Bin waved his hand impatiently.

When they returned to the restaurant, Dabao had already been carried away, leaving only Xu Ma and Yang Lina inside.

"Eat quickly, don't let it get cold." Mother Xu urged.

Xu Bin picked up his job and ate hard, and Tan Aifang didn't give in. The dumplings made by Xu's mother were full of fillings and filled with meat. They were so delicious that people couldn't stop eating.

After eating half a bowl of dumplings in one go, Xu Jingyi slowed down a little: "Grandma, what kind of meat is this stuffing? It's so delicious."

"Clam, as long as it's delicious, the meat is emperor goose, which your uncle bought." Mama Xu replied.

"Emperor goose? Antarctic emperor goose?" Xu Jingyi asked curiously.

"Yes, it's the Antarctic Emperor Goose. This thing has a lot of fat and less lean meat. If you eat too much, you will get tired of it. Your cousin and the others don't like it now."

Don't like to eat?
Xu Jingyi was a little confused, what kind of life did my uncle's family live, this is too extravagant!If it wasn't for her close relatives and elders, she would definitely say something:
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!
Yang Lina interjected: "If you like this taste, you can bring back more emperor goose oil later, as the family boiled a lot of oil."

In order to make fish balls with oil residue, Mama Xu saved a lot of imperial goose oil. There are five or six barrels full of that kind of calf-high plastic bucket.

"Okay, then we won't be polite." Tan Aifang quickly agreed, cooking oil is so rare, even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it right now.

"You're welcome, aren't we all a family!"

Xu's mother was very relieved, Nana was sensible, as a mother-in-law, she didn't have to be angry at both ends, so she was very comfortable.

Xu Jingyi continued to ask: "Grandma, isn't Lingling on winter vacation? When will you be here?"

The cousins ​​are still young, only Ma Lingling and her can play, so I asked this question.

"It is said that I will make up two weeks of lessons, and I will come with your aunt and uncle when the time comes." Mama Xu sighed. It was about her granddaughter's future, and it was difficult for her as a grandmother to say anything.

"So hard?"

"Jingyi, the university entrance exams are not like yours now. Let's say last year, only five and a half out of a hundred candidates passed the exam, and they were not allowed to repeat the exam. Your cousin and the others are almost worried about me." Yang Lina took the opportunity to complain.

Xu Jingyi also heard a little about last year's college entrance examination, but she didn't expect the acceptance rate to be so low.

Tan Aifang quickly comforted: "Nana, you don't have to worry too much. As the old saying goes, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. The children are still young, so there are plenty of opportunities."

"It's better for our family, Jingyi." Xu Bin said carelessly. Under the current environment, only his daughter's academic performance can be taken care of.

Tan Aifang secretly tugged at her husband's clothes, and kept silent if she couldn't speak.

Isn't this offending people in vain?
Their family, including her natal family, has to rely on her brother-in-law's family for relief. I really don't understand what my husband thinks!

……

After eating the dumplings, Tan Aifang took out gifts for her brother-in-law's family and her parents-in-law. This time, she will live here for a full month, and the gifts are too light to justify.

"Mom, this is the down jacket that Jingyi bought for you. What is the brand of hemp goose? It is a big brand imported from abroad. It is very warm. It is cold in the north. This is the most suitable for you to wear."

This down jacket was exchanged by Tan Aifang with three catties of potatoes. Although the clothes were second-hand, they looked brand new, so it would look good as a gift.

Mama Xu tried it on, and the size was just right, but the color was bright red, a little ostentatious, not suitable for the elderly.

"Mom, the clothes match you very well. You look at least ten years younger." Yang Lina complimented.

After all, it was a gift chosen by the eldest granddaughter, and Mama Xu was very happy: "Is it, it is really warm to wear, and I will wear it when I go out in the future."
