Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 408 407. What about your family?
Ever since her father briefly talked with them about the vigorous development of greenhouse planting and breeding in their city, her father has devoted himself to this project that leads the people of the city to develop and become rich.

In the next few times, only her mother and aunt came to visit her grandparents and her, and her father didn't come, but Xiang Jin didn't care much.

"Xiao Jin, I went to the vegetable market with your grandfather. I warmed the rice in the pot for you. Remember to eat when you wake up later?"

It was another weekend, and Xiang Jin had another rare sleep in, but just as she was sleeping soundly on the bed, someone knocked on the door of her room, followed by the kind and kind voice of her grandma. The sound came in.

"Oh, good," Xiang Jin turned over, and then replied in a daze.

Her voice was a little low, her grandma didn't hear it, and was about to raise her hand to knock again, but was stopped by her grandpa.

"Okay, okay, stop knocking, let the child sleep for a while, today is a rare weekend!"

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Aren't I afraid that she will sleep for too long, and that breakfast will be eaten with lunch at that time?"

Her grandfather Xiang Jin said, "No, let's go back quickly. It will take at most an hour. If she hasn't woken up by then, let's call again. What time is it? Seven o'clock It's not even eight o'clock," he raised his wrist to light up his watch, and motioned to look at Jin's grandma.

Xiang Jin's grandma glanced at his watch, and then said, "Then let's go quickly?!" After speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the gate.

Seeing the old woman walking in front of her empty-handed, her grandfather Xiang Jin smiled helplessly, picked up the small trailer for grocery shopping, and followed him out of the room.

When Xiang Jin got up, the house was very quiet. She didn't see her grandparents, so she knew they might be out again.

After sitting at the dining table for a while, she got up to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to get food.

Just as she was halfway through her meal, the door of the room was opened from the outside, followed by her grandparents walking in.

"Grandpa, grandma, have you guys gone to the vegetable market?" Looking at the vegetable basket her grandfather was holding in his hand, Xiang Jin greeted them.

"Yeah, did you go shopping in the vegetable market for nothing?" Her grandma walked towards her while patting the moisture off her body. Seeing that she was eating, her grandma nodded again, "Okay, Okay, I'm afraid you're still asleep and haven't gotten up to eat, how many corn buns is this?"

Xiang Jin took a sip of porridge, "Second one, I just ate eggs, but I can't eat any more!"

Her grandfather said, "It's better to eat less, we bought a lot of vegetables today, and I'll cook something delicious for you at noon!"

"What did you buy?" Xiang Jin tilted her head while nibbling on the corn bun in her hand, and then she saw several pockets of pork in the vegetable basket next to his grandfather, and she was speechless. , "Why did you buy so much meat, it looks like dozens of catties?"

Her grandfather said, "Nearly thirty catties!"

Wearing an apron, her grandmother came out with a stainless steel basin and a shaukei, and explained to her, "We saw that the quality of the meat today was not bad, so we bought some more and planned to make some bacon.

Your parents and your aunts are usually very busy at work, so they don’t have time to make these, so we want to make some for them when we have nothing to do, and we can just take them home and put them in the refrigerator when the time comes. "

Xiang Jin said, "Isn't it too early to make bacon now?"

Her grandma said, "It's not too early, you have two weeks to go to the final exam, and we do it around this time in previous years."

Xiang Jin nodded, and after she finished eating, she went over and poked the pork a few times, and then she asked her grandparents, "Are you going to buy meat later?"

Her grandma said, "Yes, how much bacon can be made with this little meat, and we have to share among three families. You see, we live in one place, your parents live in one place, and your aunt lives in another place. Why do the family have to share six or seven yuan?
Your grandpa and I plan to make some sausages again, but the place is a bit small, and there are vegetables and clothes hanging on the balcony, so it’s really inconvenient to make too many at once, but it’s okay, let’s do it every two days Just make a few pieces every two days. "

Xiang Jin said, "In that case, let's not buy meat at the vegetable market in the future, let's buy meat at Aunt Liao's then!"

"Buying meat from your Aunt Liao?" Xiang Jin's grandparents were surprised, and then her grandma asked, "Is this too far away?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, it's just over an hour's drive, the key is that the pigs in Aunt Liao's family have never eaten compound feed, they are fed pure vegetables and pure grains, look at this meat, although it looks like the quality of the meat is not good. It’s pretty good, but once it’s poked down, it’s just a pit, and it’s not even very flexible, which means that this pig grew up on long-term hormones and compound feed.”

"Oh, you haven't paid much attention to this yet?" Her grandparents frowned slightly when they saw it.

Xiang Jin said, "You have lived in the city for a long time and have never raised pigs. How could you notice so much?"

Then her grandparents laughed, and her grandfather said, "It seems that you have more experience than us?"

Xiang Jin said, "I also learned this from Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo."

Her grandma said, "Then who knows if your Aunt Liao wants to sell it to us?"

Xiang Jin said with certainty, "Yes, don't worry, Aunt Liao's family has five fat pigs, and Grandpa Zeng's family ordered one from her, and Yan Chen and I also ordered one from her, Aunt Liao herself I want to kill one pig, but she can't finish a pig herself, so she has to sell half of it, and we will buy it at that time. In order to prevent the half of the pig from being reserved, I will call them later , let Aunt Liao leave it to us!"

Her grandparents couldn't laugh or cry, "Why did you order a pig with Yan Chen?"

Xiang Jin said, "Our pig is used as a New Year's gift for those employees in the provincial capital who plant greenhouse vegetables for us. They have worked hard for us all year round, and we still have to give them some at the end of the year. Said, "The most important thing is that they are working hard for us, as the boss, we can't be too picky, right? "

Her grandparents immediately burst into laughter, and then both of them nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, the boss is generous to the employees, and the employees will be more sympathetic to the boss!"

"Yes!" She thought that she and Yan Chen were still benevolent bosses.

Xiang Jin washed the dishes and came out, then glanced at the time and thought it was almost time, then put on his down jacket and went downstairs to call Aunt Liao.

When she came back, she saw that her mother and her aunt had arrived, and the two of them were standing at the table in the dining room, rubbing salt on the pork and making bacon, while her grandparents were busy in the kitchen. meals.

She walked over to greet the two of them, and then sat down at the table.

"Xiaojin, are you back? I heard you went to call your Aunt Liao? How is it? Did she agree?" her aunt asked.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, I agree!"

"Then did your aunt Liao say when they would slaughter the New Year's pig?" Her aunt followed suit and asked again.

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie said look at us, whenever it is convenient for us to pull it, she will invite someone to butcher it, but what I told her is that after the final exam, the bacon is cooked too early, even if If it is stored in the refrigerator, it will be very waxy when it is eaten the next year, and it is easy to get angry after eating that kind of meat.”

Her mother and her aunt nodded.

Then her mother asked, "Xiaojin, when it's time for the final exam, why don't you go home and stay for a few days?"

Her aunt just nodded her head, "Yeah, go back and live for a few days, you've never been home."

Meeting the expectant eyes of the two of them, Xiang Jin said apologetically, "I guess we don't have time, we have to make up lessons after the trial exam, and I guess we can only have two or three days at most during the period.

I also want to take advantage of these two or three days to go back and marinate the pork, so that when Uncle Tao comes, he can take it back to give the employees New Year gifts. "

At this time, her grandma came out with a few garlics and peeled them off, "Are you giving bacon to the employees?"

Xiang Jin said, "Well, we want to give out some fresh meat, and we also want to give out some bacon, and several employees from other provinces said that they like to eat the bacon we marinated.

Many of them and their whole families are working for us. Some of them grow greenhouse vegetables for us in the field, and some of them work in the hot pot restaurant alone, and the other person grows greenhouse vegetables for us in the field.

Especially in the twelfth lunar month of winter and the period of Chinese New Year, both the hot pot restaurant and the vegetable field in the greenhouse are the busiest times, so basically they can't go home and have to stay and work, so we just Even if they can't go home, they will have a good year! "

Everyone nodded, and then her grandma said, "It doesn't mean that you all don't know whether your Uncle Tao will come or not a year ago?"

Xiang Jin said, "Whether he comes or not, we still have to prepare the bacon, but Uncle Tao is coming!"

"Xiaochen said?"

"Hmm! He's going to give New Year's gifts to Grandpa Zeng and the others, and then bring back a few jars of pickled vegetables and chopped peppers, but it should be the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and he has to go back before the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month."

Then her aunt asked, "Does your Uncle Tao come every year to give your great-grandpa and the others a New Year gift?"

Xiang Jin nodded again, "Well, I have to come every year to replace Yan Chen's grandfather. Yan Chen's grandfather didn't have time to come, so he came here on his behalf."

Hearing this, Xiang Jin's aunt began to gossip, "Is Xiaochen's father coming?"

Xiang Jin was taken aback, then Xiang Jin's grandma glared at her aunt, and reprimanded, "Look what you are asking, what are you asking for?!"

Xiang Jin's aunt said coquettishly to her grandma, "Oh, I'm just curious, why are you so fierce?! There are no outsiders here, just a few of us! And my voice is so low! You say yes, Xiao Jin?!"

Xiang Jin just smiled and said, "His father remarried."

A few people understood immediately, and then her aunt asked again, "Then his father's second wife gave birth to a child?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "No!"

"Then did his stepmother treat him well?" the aunt followed her and asked again.

Xiang Jin shook his head again, "He seldom mentioned his father and the wife he married after his father in front of me, and he talked about his grandfather, his aunt, and Uncle Tao the most, oh, yes Yea, since Yan Chen's mother passed away, he has been living with his grandfather, but his grandfather is usually busy with work, so Uncle Tao took care of him when he grew up."

"Uncle Tao took care of him growing up? Doesn't Uncle Tao have any children?" Several people were surprised again.

Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, Uncle Tao used to be a soldier under Grandpa Yan Chen's, but later his mother became seriously ill and no one took care of him, and after Yan Chen's grandfather found out, he let him go back to take care of his mother. When he left, he gave him some money. Later, after Uncle Tao's mother passed away, he returned to the provincial capital and wanted to stay in the army and stay with Yan Chen's grandfather, but Yan Chen's grandfather's side was already gone. Equipped with new drivers and guards, so it is impossible.

Yan Chen's grandfather thought that he hadn't found a suitable job, so he left him at home temporarily, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen to Yan Chen's mother in a remote mountainous branch church during that time.

After that, he took the initiative to take care of Yan Chen's basic necessities, taking him to and from school every day, rain or shine, and taking him to see a doctor when he got sick, taking care of him from the age of three or four to eleven or twelve. When Sui was in junior high school, Yan Chen's affection for Uncle Tao was much deeper than you imagined. "

Then Xiang Jin's mother asked, "Your Uncle Tao isn't even married?"

Xiang Jin said, "It seems to have been married once, but it wasn't long, but it was because the woman ignored her when Uncle Tao's mother was seriously ill, and seemed to run away with someone or left, and then Uncle Tao said He was injured, that's why Yan Chen's grandfather let him go back to take care of his mother after knowing about it, so after that, Uncle Tao didn't have much interest in marriage, and after returning to the provincial capital, he wholeheartedly helped Yan Chen. Chen's grandfather took care of Yan Chen.

So now our vegetable shed and Yan Chen's hot pot restaurant are all taken care of by Uncle Tao for us. "

After hearing this, several people couldn't help sighing and then nodded again, and said to her grandma, "Your Uncle Tao is very grateful, just because Xiaochen's grandfather helped him back then, he spent his whole life helping him." to repay them."

Xiang Jin also nodded, "Yes, so those employees in our vegetable field and those in the hot pot restaurant were recruited one by one by Uncle Tao himself. , it saves me and Yan Chen a lot of worry!"

Then her aunt asked again, "Have you seen all those employees?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "I've seen some of them. When they came to the countryside to learn how to grow greenhouse vegetables with Grandpa Zeng and the others, they were very nice people. Many of them even brought me their hometowns. Souvenirs."

"Really, what did you bring?" Several people suddenly became more interested.

Xiang Jin said, "There are so many, I can't remember clearly. For example, there was a man named Uncle Duoji who brought me their highland barley noodles, buttered tea, and their lamb leg meat and dried yak meat. Uncle Zheng Gang’s hometown is on the Red Earth Plateau, and he brought me noodles and garlic from them. The long purple eggplant we often eat now is the seed from them. of."

Her grandma followed suit and joked, "Oh, you haven't been outside yet, but you've already eaten special foods from all over the country."

Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's also thanks to them!"

Everyone nodded unanimously and said "Yes!"

Followed Xiang Jin and said, "About Yan Chen's family affairs, especially his father, so you'd better not mention it in front of him? He might be a little bit taboo!"

They all nodded and promised no, and then Xiang Jin said to her mother, "The chances of going home after the winter vacation are rare, but you can still go back for a few days during the Chinese New Year."

Her mother was immediately overjoyed when she heard that, and she kept nodding her head in response, "Ah, ah, okay, okay," then call us when you want to go back, and we will pick you up by car.

Xiang Jin said, "Is there room to live in that house? Grandparents and their house are rented out!"

Her mother said, "I can live here, I can live here. Our house has three rooms and a study room."

Xiang Jin really wanted to say that she didn't want to live in the room that Yang Weiwei lived in before, but seeing their happy expressions, she swallowed that word again, alas, forget it, at worst she will go to live in the study , or ask Ouyang Bo to change with her. He is flattering her younger sister every day, and wants to have a good relationship with her. He should agree to her, right?
Then she heard her aunt say again, "Even if your house is not enough to live in, you can still live in my aunt's house? My aunt's house also has three rooms, and then you and your grandparents will live with my aunt!"

Xiang Jin said, "We're all going to live, what about your family?"

As soon as she said this, she saw that the expressions of the three members of their family froze. Seeing their reaction, Xiang Jin thought to herself: My dear, did I mention something sad about them? ?
