Chapter 367
After dinner, everyone sat in the yard enjoying the cool air and chatting. Uncle Tao brought a plate of sliced ​​watermelon for everyone to eat. Xiang Jin took a piece. After sitting down, Uncle Tao also took a piece, and then asked, "Girl , are you interested in visiting the provincial capital?"

Both Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng looked at Xiang Jin with smiles on their faces, and Yan Chen also looked at her. Xiang Jin thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, I still have some things to do, wait for later , I will go later when I have free time."

She plans to take advantage of this little free time to save up some drafts, otherwise she will not have so much convenience once she starts making up lessons.

Besides, she has a new tablemate now, and she doesn't want people to know that she is writing novels to make money, so it's better to keep everything as low-key as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles.

Uncle Tao nodded without forcing it.

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Uncle Tao, are you and Yan Chen planning to go back to the provincial capital?"

Uncle Tao said, "No, I'll go back alone, Xiaochen won't go back this time."

"Why don't you go back? Didn't you go back to visit your grandfather when you were on vacation?" Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen.

Yan Chen said, "My grandfather has been busy in the army recently, and I won't be able to see him when I go back. In addition, we will go back to school and start making up classes soon, so I won't go back this summer vacation."

"Oh, so," Xiang Jin nodded, "It seems that your grandpa is really busy, huh?"

"En!" Yan Chen nodded slightly.

Uncle Tao laughed and said, "I haven't seen the old man for almost a month. Last time I went home from the shop, I thought I would see him, but my car hadn't reached the gate of the courtyard yet. Then I saw Xiao Li's car driving him away again."

Grandma Mo sighed, "Oh, it's like that in the army. There are missions all year round, let alone those at the level of in-laws, so there are more things to do."

Grandpa Zeng also nodded with a "huh".

Then Xiang Jin asked again, "Uncle Tao, when are you going back? I'll prepare some food for you on the way then?"

Uncle Tao suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Well, then Uncle Tao will be lucky again. Uncle Tao will go back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xiang Jin responded, and then said, "Uncle Tao, if you have anything you want to eat, just tell me, and I will make it for you when the time comes!"

Uncle Tao just nodded, "It's fine, it's fine, as long as it's made by you girl, Uncle Tao likes to eat it!"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then I'll do whatever I want then?"

"Okay, do whatever you want, do whatever you want, oh, girl, it's good to have you, every time I'm on the road with Xiaochen, I can eat delicious food," Uncle Tao waved his hand, and then sighed along.

Xiang Jin said, "Uncle Tao, you're being polite. It's not a big deal, it's just cooking you some food. Besides, I like cooking food more."

Everyone just laughed, Xiang Jin chatted with them for a while and then got up to wash up.

When Xiang Jin came down the next morning, she found that Yan Chen had also gotten up and was washing in the yard, so she also walked over to wash.

After both of them washed up, Yan Chen asked her, "Did you sleep well last night? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's good, I woke up automatically after I slept well, but why did you wake up earlier than me?"

Yan Chen said, "I'm used to it. I used to live with my grandfather in the army when I was young, so I often went out to exercise with them. Later, I gradually developed the habit of waking up at the right time, and getting up when I woke up."

Xiang Jin puffed her cheeks and said "Oh", and then asked again, "Then Grandma Mo and the others have all gone to work in the field?"

Yan Chen nodded, "It should be."

Xiang Jin suggested, "Then shall we help too?"

Yan Chen glanced at her, then nodded, "Okay!"

So the two of them went to the vegetable field with a basket. When the elders saw the two of them, they naturally greeted them again. Then Grandma Mo said that she would go back to make breakfast, so only Zeng was left in the vegetable field. Grandpa and Uncle Tao, as well as her and Yan Chen.

Grandma Mo and the others plant the most mushrooms now, because it is the hot summer, and the mushrooms grow very fast. They can grow from a small bud that has just sprouted into a large mushroom flower in one night, so there are different kinds of mushrooms every day. The few mushrooms must be picked. If one day is missed, the mushrooms will grow old and lose their taste and flavor, and they will not be sold at a price.

Grandpa Zeng and his family's mushrooms are now not only for the vegetable vendors in the town, but most of them are for the county town, so there are several waves of people every day to collect the vegetables in batches.

Xiang Jin and the others went to help Aunt Liao pick vegetables with Yan Chen after they finished picking the vegetables in Grandma Mo's house.

Aunt Liao's eyes turned red when she saw Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, Auntie thought she would never see you again in this lifetime?"

Xiang Jin said, "How can it be, Auntie, don't you see me now?"

Aunt Liao nodded, "You didn't go back to your parents?"

Xiang Jin said, "Well, not yet, let's talk about it later."

Aunt Liao nodded again, "Then you live now, live..."

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't live there. I live at Grandma Mo's and Grandpa Zeng's. Grandpa Zeng went to pick me up from school yesterday."

Aunt Liao nodded again, followed by a long sigh.

Xiang Jin asked, "Auntie, what vegetables do you want to pick, can we help you?"

Aunt Liao said with some embarrassment, "Oh, look how troublesome you two are. You just came back and asked you to help me with work?"

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, don't bother. Don't talk to us. When I lived in your house, I used to bother you a lot."

Aunt Liao's heart suddenly warmed up, and she felt that she was really a girl who knew how to be grateful, so she stopped being polite to them, but told them very heartily, "I want to pick those red peppers and big cucumbers, and return them to me." One thing is to pick some shallots, garlic sprouts and celery, and I will pick this geographically large winter melon."

Yan Chen and Xiang Jin nodded, and each of them took a basket to pick the vegetables that Aunt Liao said.

After picking it up, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Is your Xiang Jin still here?"

Yan Chen said, "Yes! What's the matter?!"

Xiang Jin said, "Then let me use it then?"

"Yes!" Yan Chen agreed without thinking.

After breakfast, Grandpa Zeng said to Yan Chen and Xiang Jin, "You two are quick-witted. When the food collector comes later, you will help your grandma sell the vegetables and settle the bill. As for which vegetables and what prices? , your grandma knows."

The two nodded, and then Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Tao rushed to the scene.

Around eleven o'clock, Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Tao came back in the car, and then Xiang Jin and the others saw that both of them had a lot of dishes in their hands, including chicken, fish, ribs, and Fresh meat and elbows.

Grandma Mo immediately went up to meet her, took the fat hen from Grandpa Zeng, weighed it, but couldn't find out the weight, and then asked, "How much does this chicken weigh?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "I didn't buy this chicken, but girl Jin and her grandfather bought it."

"Girl Jin, her grandfather?! Old man Yang?!" Grandma Mo was surprised, and Xiang Jin was also a little surprised.

Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then explained to them, "When Xiao Tang and I were shopping in the vegetable market, we happened to meet Old Man Yang shopping there, and then he asked me if Chenchen's school was It's a holiday, and the child is coming back today?

I said I was on vacation, and I came back yesterday, and then he asked me if I heard anything about girl Jin from Chenchen, and asked if she had gone back to her parents?
I told him the truth, I said the child hadn’t gone back yet, and now he was staying at our house. After hearing that, old man Yang ran to kill a chicken without saying a word, and asked me to bring it back for the child. Cooked it and ate it, and said it was a little thought from him as a grandfather. I had no choice but to bring it back. "

Grandma Mo sighed, "Oh, my parents are very good parents, even my brother-in-law and younger siblings are also very good brothers-in-law and younger siblings. I just don't know why that girl Ju Yun is such a person?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "The nine sons born to the dragon are all different, not to mention that they are still human, how can you tell?"

Grandma Mo nodded again, "That's true!" Then she turned around and asked Xiang Jin what she wanted to eat for lunch, so she could do it?

Xiang Jin said it was all right, and then asked the three elders beside him. Grandpa Zeng said what he wanted to eat, Yan Chen also reported a dish he wanted to eat, and Uncle Tao said he could do it all.

So Xiang Jin nodded, and then said to go with Grandma Mo, and Grandma Mo didn't refuse, so the mother-in-law and grandson went to the kitchen together.

Xiang Jin saw that Grandma Mo even took out sea stone flowers to soak. Grandma Mo said that she would use this to make a cold dish later, so Xiang Jin asked Grandma Mo if she still had this.

Grandma Mo said, "Also, there are still about a few catties. Last time, your Uncle Tao mailed us a big bag. Sometimes your grandpa Zeng and I don't want to cook vegetables at noon, so we use this and cucumber slices. Let's have a cold meal together, what's the matter, you like to eat this too, so I'm going to get some more to soak?"

Xiang Jin said, "No, no, Grandma Mo, you misunderstood, just this is fine, I mean if there are more, I want to get some and try to make some new food."

"Really? Okay, okay, that's good, then when you need to use it, you can go to the cabinet over there to pick it up. I put it in that cabinet and put it in a transparent plastic bag." , you open the cabinet and you can see it at a glance."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, okay, I see."

After lunch, there wasn't much work to be done. Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng were used to taking a nap. Xiang Jin and the others also went back to their rooms to take a lunch break. On the way upstairs, Xiang Jin suddenly said to Yan Chen , "Yan Chen, I want to see my grandparents, no matter what, they have always been very kind to me, I can't be without a conscience."

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I know, when do you plan to go?"

Xiang Jin said, "In two days."

Yan Chen suggested, "How about tomorrow, I will let Uncle Tao stay for another day and go back the day after tomorrow, and I will drive you there tomorrow?"

"Ah? Are you sending me?" Xiang Jin was a little surprised.

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I'll take you there, your grandma's house is so far away, and the weather is so hot, when will you have to go there on foot, just in time, Uncle Tao brought a lot of fruit this time , and bring them some past when the time comes.”

Xiang Jin hesitated, "Will that delay Uncle Tao's affairs?"

Yan Chen said, "No, things in the field, the hotpot restaurant and other stores have been sorted out now. He doesn't need to be in charge all the time. He can stay here for two more days."

Xiang Jin didn't give him an answer immediately, but said, "Then I'll ask Uncle Tao then, shall I?"

"it is good!"

After Xiang Jin returned to his room, Yan Chen immediately went to Uncle Tao's room, and when Xiang Jin asked Uncle Tao politely in the afternoon if he was busy recently, Uncle Tao decisively said that he was not very busy recently Every day, he just sits in the office and looks through the account books, or goes to the shops for a while, or goes to the field every two or three days to play a net, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked him if he could stay here for another day or two. She wanted to visit her grandparents tomorrow, and cook for him when she came back the day after tomorrow. Uncle Tao decisively said again. He readily agreed, "Yes, yes, what's wrong with that? Anyway, I don't have much to do when I go back, so I can just stay here for one more day, and then eat two more meals made by you, girl Jin. You girl, you may not know that the food you cook, Uncle Tao, just smells delicious, even better than the food in Han Che's restaurant!"

Xiang Jin grinned, "Really? Okay, then I'll make you a few more meals then!"

"okay!"

So after dinner in the evening, when everyone was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air, Xiang Jin told Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng about the matter again.

Both of them nodded, and Grandma Mo said, "That's right, your mother is your mother, and your grandparents are your grandparents. Let's treat them separately?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

Then Yan Chen also said, "I'll drive her there tomorrow, and Uncle Tao will go back the day after tomorrow."

The two elders nodded again after hearing this, "Well, it's hot, you are right to drive her there."

After getting into the car the next day, Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin, "Do you want to go shopping in town?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yes!"

"it is good!"

The two went to the biggest supermarket in the town to buy some gifts. She mainly bought two bottles of wine for his grandpa, and then some nutritional supplements for her grandma, plus some more for her two uncles and cousins. something.

Yan Chen asked, "Why don't you buy something for your sister Xiang Lan?"

Xiang Jin said, "She likes to save money, and now she is having trouble with her mother, Mao Dun. According to her mother's temperament, she must be reluctant to give her money to spend. I plan to give her a few hundred yuan later for grandma Keep it for her, and when she wants to buy something, she doesn't have to go to her grandparents to ask for it, although they don't mind, but after all, I still have two uncles and aunts."

Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, yes!"

Yan Chen also wanted to choose some gifts, but Xiang Jin stopped him, "You don't need it, you brought so much fruit, and you don't need it, you wouldn't go to their house without me."

Yan Chen had no choice but to give up.

The two loaded their things into the car, and then Yan Chen asked, "Would you like to go to the shop to say hello to your uncles and aunts?"

Xiang Jin said, "No need, let's go to their house to see grandpa and grandma, and let grandpa and grandma hand over the things to them when the time comes, and I won't go to the shop in the future."

"Okay!" Yan Chen started the car, and then went straight to Jin's grandparents' house.

It took about an hour and ten minutes for Xiang Jin and the others to arrive at Xiang Jin's grandparents' house.

Yang Zhao was squatting by a well in the yard, cleaning a shroud of vegetables, when he suddenly saw Xiang Jin and Yan Chen walking in with something, he immediately shouted excitedly into the room, "Grandma, grandma, come out quickly!" , look who is coming?!"

After shouting, he directly threw the vegetables in his hand, and then ran towards Jin and the others, "Sister, Brother Chen, are you here?"

Xiang Jin smiled slightly at him, Yan Chen nodded slightly at him, and Xiang Jin asked, "I'm washing the vegetables, are you ready to make lunch?"

Yang Zhao nodded, "Well, for the vegetables that have just been picked from the field, let's wash them out first before the sun is too poisonous."

Xiang Jin and her grandparents came out of the house after hearing Yang Zhao's duck-shell cavity. When they saw Xiang Jin and Yan Chen in the courtyard, the two old people were also very excited, and they walked out of the house. Run down the eaves.

"Girl Jin, girl Jin?!" Her grandmother called Xiang Jin with a crying voice.

Xiang Jin stuffed the things in her hand to Yang Zhao, and then ran towards her grandparents, "Grandpa, grandma?"

"Alas, alas!"

The two elders agreed happily, and the eye sockets of both of them turned red.

Xiang Jin supported the arms of the two elders and led them to the eaves of the street, "Grandpa, grandma, how are you all these days?"

"Okay, okay!" Both of them responded, and then her grandmother asked, "What about you, how are you, huh? Because of your mother and that Weiwei, my grandpa and I have no face meet you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? You are you, they are them, how can they blame you for what they say and do! I will always remember how well you treated me, I said , you will always be my grandparents!"

"Good boy, good boy," her grandmother nodded frequently, and then tears flowed out.

Xiang Jin stopped, and then wiped away her tears, "Grandma, can we stop doing this?"

Her grandmother nodded, but the tears in her eyes became more joyful. Xiang Jin wiped her away wave after wave, until Xiang Jin didn't know what to do, and finally persuaded her grandfather , "Okay, the children finally came here, but you are so sensational, do you want the children to stay or let the children go?"

Xiang Jin's grandmother wiped her face suddenly, "Okay, okay, I won't cry, I won't cry, let's go, let's go into the room and talk."

So everyone and a group entered the house, and Yan Chen went up to greet him, "Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yang?!"

"Oh, good good good good boy, I'm going to trouble you today too? Don't blame us for being excited just now and forgetting to greet you?" Both elders agreed, and then said to her grandmother Xiang Jin.

Yan Chen said, "No, I can understand!"

The two nodded, and then Yan Chen put the things on the table, Xiang Jin and her grandparents saw it, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "You just came, why did you buy something?"

Yan Chen said, "This is all bought by Xiang Jin!"

Xiang Jin's grandpa and grandma looked at Xiang Jin, and Xiang Jin's grandma said, "You see that you are spending money recklessly. Grandpa and grandma are already happy and content when you come here. Why do you need to bring things?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's just a little bit of my care!"

Her grandmother sighed.

Xiang Jin asked Yang Zhao to go get something from the car again, Yang Zhao said "Oh", turned around and ran out, Yan Chen also turned around and went out.

Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked, "What else?"

Xiang Jin said, "I also brought some for uncle, and the other is some fruits that Yan Chen brought for you."

Her grandma said in a reproachful tone again, "Do you think you have brought so many things?!"

Xiang Jin said, "Not much."

Her grandmother dragged her to a seat beside her and sat down, then Xiang Jin asked, "Where are Yang Hui and Yang Xu?"

Her grandmother said, "Yang Hui is helping your uncles and aunts to look after shops on the street, Yang Xu, Yang Xin and Xiang Lan should be digging taro seeds in the field right now!"

"Are they digging taro seeds again?" Xiang Jin's eyelids trembled uncontrollably. Have these people been digging taro seeds for several years?

Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Well, they have been sold several times. Xiang Lan has almost saved more than 100 yuan in digging medicinal materials with me recently."

Xiang Jin said, "Grandma, it's better not to let them dig medicinal materials outside. Let's not talk about the hot weather, what if we encounter snakes in the field?"

Her grandmother said, "It's nothing. I've talked to their masters for countless times, but they just don't listen, and they still go their own way. Girl Jin, you can tell them later. They usually I listen to you most."

Xiang Jin said, "I'll give it a try." In the past, the reason why they listened to her was because she was their sister and cousin, but now she was no longer, and they didn't know that they didn't care what they said.

After a while, Yang Zhao and Yan Chen brought back all the things in the car, and Xiang Jin, her grandparents saw that someone came to talk with Xiang Jin, so they told them to sit down and have a rest, and they went to make lunch , and also called Yang Zhao away at the same time, and asked him to buy a fish from the Yantang.

"okay!"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen refused to say that they don't need to buy fish, but just cook something to eat, but her grandma and grandpa insisted on asking Yang Zhao to buy it, and Yang Zhao also turned around and ran away.

Xiang Jin's grandmother immediately asked her grandfather to butcher a chicken, and Xiang Jin's grandfather said, "Well, I know!"

Xiang Jin was about to refuse again, but Yan Chen shook his head slightly at her, Xiang Jin turned to hold her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, shall I fight with you?"

Her grandma said, "No, no, the food won't be too complicated today, just me and your grandpa, you can stay with Xiaochen well, Xiaochen doesn't come here often and is not familiar with us , You see whether you want to walk around here, or you can watch TV at home, but if you walk around here, the sun outside is very strong right now."

Xiang Jin was taken aback for a moment, "Your family also bought a TV?"

Her grandmother nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Well, after your grandfather came back, your two uncles and aunts bought us a TV with half of the money. It’s in our house, if you want to watch it, go there and watch it, a video is being rebroadcasted recently, it’s pretty good, it’s playing day and night, you can watch it.”

Xiang Jin never had much interest in that TV, but Yan Chen still wanted to ask, so she turned her head to look at Yan Chen, "Do you want to watch TV?"

Yan Chen shook his head at her, "I don't want to look! Why don't you take me around here."

Xiang Jin nodded hesitantly, "That's fine." In fact, she is not familiar with this place. Every time she comes, she will go home directly, and then leave after eating. She really doesn't know any people here. , I don’t even know which one has a dog and which one doesn’t.

In order to prevent them from encountering vicious dogs later, Xiang Jin asked her grandmother again, "Grandma, do you have many dogs here? If we go out for a walk, we won't be bitten, right?"

Her grandmother said, "There are several houses in Wantou that raise dogs, but they are all kept on a leash like ours, so nothing will happen."

Yan Chen suggested, "Why don't we go to that weir pond to have a look, didn't Yang Zhao go there to buy fish?"

Xiang Jin really wanted to say that she didn't even know where the weir pond was, but fortunately her grandmother said, "This is fine too. It's cool to go to the weir pond, and you won't be afraid of being hot. You keep leaving the gate when you leave the courtyard." Take the small road on the left, and when you get there, there is a T-junction, and then you turn your right hand and walk up, about ten minutes and then you will arrive."

The direction of the direction was still very clear, so Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded, and then they went out together.
