Chapter 422 421. So Ugly!

After eating the watermelon, everyone chatted for a while, and then each led their children back home, saying that they were going to make dumplings.

Xiang Jin's grandparents and parents didn't keep them either, but sent a group of them to the door after saying a few polite and face-saving words to everyone.

After watching them go away, her aunt Xiang Jin said in a low voice, "Oh my god, I'm finally gone, I'm not even smiling anymore."

Xiang Jin's grandma put her down and said, "How long have you been laughing? Your brother and sister-in-law have been talking and laughing with them all morning."

Ouyang Xue was surprised, "Isn't it? Did they come early?"

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Isn't it? Almost as soon as you left, your brother, sister-in-law and the others left the house behind, and then the children of the family came after they were only half a cup of tea behind. "

Ouyang Xue looked at her brother and sister-in-law sympathetically, "It's really hard for you two, I have to socialize with people at work every day, and now I'm back home, and the New Year's Eve is still going on, and I'm still waiting for you. Gotta get paid."

Xiang Jin's mother said, "No way, they are all your brother's work partners and their families."

Ouyang Xue touched the big round tables in the living room and said, "I invited you for today's meal. It seems that you still spent a lot of money. You bought two dining tables, a few induction cookers, and Chicken and duck bones and those with hairy belly and yellow throat."

Xiang Jin's mother said, "It doesn't matter if you eat these, the total cost of food is more than 200 yuan, and the chicken and duck meat are also cooked, the main thing is to use the chicken and duck bones to make the broth Well, we did go a long way today. We went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, went to the furniture market to buy tables and stools, and went to the mall to buy induction cookers and drinks. I was a little tired .”

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "If you're tired, go back to your room and rest for a while. You don't have to participate in making the dumplings."

Xiang Jin's mother waved her hand, "That's no need, just send them away, just make the house quieter, I just think there were too many people in the house at that time, it was a bit loud and noisy, and the air was not good Circulation was a bit dull, but it's much better now."

Then Xiang Jin said to her aunt, "In that case, I'll go and share the New Year's gift that Xiao Jin prepared for you, so that you can all have fun."

The elders were all amazed, and then looked at Xiang Jin all at once, with dark eyes of little excitement and anticipation.

"Xiao Jin, did you prepare a gift for us?" Xiang Jin's mother said while staring at her.

Xiang Jin said, "It's nothing, just one piece of clothing for each person. I don't know what to prepare for you, but I think this is really practical."

Xiang Jin's grandma looked at Xiang Jin's aunt, "Why did Xiao Jin buy those clothes? Didn't you say you bought them?"

Her aunt Xiang Jin said, "At that time and that occasion, there were so many people, I don't think I bought it, but it's hard to tell the truth that Xiao Jin bought it, and people will inevitably not think too much about it. Some careful thinking.

Your granddaughter is already good enough among the large group of children of the same age in this compound, okay?Maybe people are envious and jealous in private.

Oh, if she is rich and filial again, once she makes a move, she will buy hundreds of thousands of clothes for her family members, so they will be more envious and jealous to death?So, low-key, low-key? "

Xiang Jin's grandparents nodded, and then her grandma lowered her head and said, "This is true."

"Xiao Bo, take out those sets of clothes for your grandparents or your parents in your house," then her aunt Xiang Jin ordered to Ouyang Bo.

Ouyang Bo said, "Auntie, I don't have any of their clothes in my room. I put them all in my grandparents' room, on their bed."

"Oh, then you go and get it with me."

Immediately, the aunt and nephew walked towards Jin's grandfather's room together, and soon they took out the clothes.

Xiang Jin walked over and first picked out the clothes of Aunt Liao, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, as well as his two pockets and put them aside, then explained to them and distributed, "That's what I gave to Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo. The gifts prepared by Grandpa Zeng and the others, grandpa and grandma, these two bags belong to you, you can try them on to see if they fit, if they don’t fit, we will change them later, I bought them according to your previous clothing size , I don’t know if it’s right or not.”

Her aunt Xiang Jin also said, "Yes, go and try it out and see if it suits you. If it doesn't suit you, you can exchange it."

Xiang Jin's grandparents took it, and immediately took off the coat on her body and tried it on.

Xiang Jin handed the other bags to his parents, "Parents, these belong to you, and my aunt bought a pair of shoes for Mom, so you can also take them with you to try on."

"Oh, good," the two took the bag, and Xiang Jin's father immediately tried it on, and Xiang Jin's mother went back to the house to try it on.

After Xiang Jin and her grandparents tried on the clothes, they nodded and said, "It fits, it fits!"

Xiang Jin said, "After fastening the zipper and the opening, check to see if it's tight. Also, is the shoulder here narrow? Is the chest comfortable? Is there chest tightness and shortness of breath?"

So the two of them followed her suggestion, and finally said, "It's not tight, it's loose, it's comfortable!"

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good, then I can rest assured!"

Ouyang Xue and Ouyang Bo said that the clothes of the two elders looked good and fashionable. Even Xiang Jin's father nodded and said that the clothes they bought were suitable and suitable for the temperament of the two old people. They looked younger by several years, and the old couple couldn't be more happy when they boasted.

"Brother, your clothes are also handsome," Xiang Jin's aunt, Ouyang Xue, praised her parents and then her brother.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Xiang Jin's father, and when they saw Xiang Jin's father, they said, "Aren't you handsome or not? You're already in a lot of grades."

Xiang Jin's aunt talked to him more casually, "Oh, just pretend to be polite, maybe your heart is bubbling right now, look, look, how honest this smile is!"

Xiang Jin's grandparents all laughed.

Xiang Jin looked at her father and asked seriously, "Is the size suitable? I asked my brother to try it on, and then the size suggested by my aunt."

"It's suitable, it's suitable, it's not too big or too small, just now," her father said in a hurry.

"My clothes are quite suitable." At this moment, Xiang Jin's mother changed her clothes and came out, and then everyone turned their eyes to her again.

Her aunt, Xiang Jin, was the first to say in surprise, "Ah, sister-in-law, you really fit well in this dress, taking advantage of your complexion and temperament, look, how intellectual, rational, and dignified, super Temperament!"

Xiang Jin's mother just smiled, and then she looked at Xiang Jin's father.

Ouyang Xue then turned her head to look at Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin, you have good eyesight and good taste, look at how stylish your mother is in that dress!"

Xiang Jin's grandparents also nodded with a smile, saying that the dress she bought for her mother is indeed very good!

Ouyang Bo said it was pretty, and Xiang Jin saw her father looked at her mother with surprise in his eyes, and of course he praised it without hesitation, "Well, it looks good!"

Xiang Jin's mother's face turned red in an instant, and Xiang Jin thought to herself: It seems that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and her mother didn't respond when everyone in the room said she was beautiful, so her father just praised her mother so simply Immediately the heart of a girl, and a little shy.

Xiang Jin walked over, took her mother's arm and said, "President Xia, I'm sure you will be a beautiful sight on the road when you go out in this outfit, and the rate of turning heads is definitely high, maybe a lot." People will learn how to dress from you, maybe the owner of the clothing store will thank you behind his back."

Her mother took her by the hand and said, "You child, your words are too exaggerated!"

Xiang Jin said, "Where is it? I'm telling the truth. You don't know. With your stature and temperament, this dress is tailor-made for you. You are the living sign of this dress. I can tell you , you wear this dress with super temperament and style!
You have to trust my vision and taste, you see how I choose your clothes for them one by one, how well-fitted and fashionable are they?My grandparents are several years younger, and my father is also several years younger, and he is still calm, you see, and he is quite elegant! "

Her mother really looked at everyone and found that it was still the same. Xiang Jin's grandparents were not only several years younger, but also looked more energetic than before.

Then she said to Xiang Jin, "Although your child is a bit of a peddler, what you said is true!"

Xiang Jin retorted, "Why is Wang Po selling melons? I call it self-confidence!"

"Yes, yes, have confidence, have confidence!" Her mother hurriedly agreed, followed by everyone and changed their clothes again, and then said that they wanted to make dumplings.

At the same time, at the mayor's house in the same compound, "Oh, I was thinking that the daughter of Ouyang's family is a wild girl who grew up in the countryside and has never seen the world, so she must be a vulgar and unreasonable person." Can't get on the stage.

But I didn't expect that when I saw her for the first time, I overturned my previous imagination of her. She is much better than the one they adopted wrongly before, no, it is simply incomparable.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how she raised her, how she carefully cultivated her, she always had a submissive petty air, which really didn't match her family background.

But this child is different, you see so many of us are staring at her, but she doesn't show a trace of nervousness or panic, but she is generous, with a very calm and calm appearance, without the slightest timidity and panic. shy.

In the process of getting along with others, she is also polite and restrained. She speaks neither too fast nor too slowly, neither too much nor too few words, neither flattering nor pinching, neither flattering nor flattering anyone.

If you talk to her, she will answer you politely, if you don't talk to her, she will be so upright, sitting there quietly and listening to everyone talking, she is very ladylike.

It's not like the previous one who always liked to interrupt when others were talking to grab the limelight, as if she didn't have a sense of existence if she didn't speak. To be honest, I really didn't like the previous girl.

It can be seen from this that some of them are what they are in their bones, that is what they look like, even if the living environment changes, they will not be affected by what they are. Can't fake it. "

The mayor smiled and said, "Well, what you said is right, I have been observing that child carefully today, and judging from my accumulated experience in politics over the years, that child is really good, The Ouyang family is really proud this time.

That kid is definitely not simple, and he will definitely be more promising than that kid in their family in the future. "

"Hey, do you think so highly of that child?" The mayor's wife was surprised.

The mayor said, "You can't be wrong. If you don't believe me, look at it. As the saying goes, three years old is older than seven years old. You only know that the child is in the third year of high school at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but you don't know, the child reads It’s still a key high school, and it’s said that the child’s academic performance has always been at the top of the school, and she has won the first or second place in other schools almost every time, and the school’s scholarship has never been missed once.”

"Really?" The mayor's wife was very surprised.

The mayor nodded, "That's right? Do you know how much the school's scholarship was that time?"

The mayor's wife shook her head, "How much?"

The mayor said, "It is said to be three or four thousand."

"So many?!" The mayor's wife was surprised again.

The mayor nodded, "Yes!"

"Hey, how do you know?!" The mayor's wife asked.

The mayor said, "Isn't the little Yang in our hometown the secretary of the municipal party committee leader? Their office is on the same floor as Secretary Ouyang's office, and their leader often has work contacts with Secretary Ouyang. He ran errands for their leaders every day to deliver some documents to Secretary Ouyang, and to pick up documents and so on.

Then one time when he passed by, Secretary Ouyang happened to be on the phone with his parents, saying that their daughter had received a scholarship again, and she had also given money to his parents and Xiaobo. At that time, Secretary Ouyang Very happy.

At that time, he thought they were talking about their previous child on the phone. Later, she wondered why that child's academic performance was so good all of a sudden. Isn't it sick now?
Later, he deliberately inquired with a secretary in Secretary Ouyang's office, only to realize that they were talking about his biological daughter, and only then did he clearly understand the real situation of Secretary Ouyang's family.

That time I went to the municipal party committee for a meeting, and after seeing it, I chatted a few words, and then he asked me if I knew about it when I lived with Secretary Ouyang. Woolen cloth. "

"Oh, this Ouyang family is too tightly covered, and I have never heard them say it before," the mayor's wife said.

The mayor said, "He is modest and low-key, unlike you people, who know how to bluff all day long!"

When the mayor's wife heard what he said, she didn't agree, "What am I talking about, what am I talking about?!"

The mayor kept nodding his head, looking as if he had guessed that I had said something wrong, "Oh, don't blah, blah, oops, change your clothes and wash your hands and prepare to make dumplings, otherwise we won't be able to eat dumplings in the evening .”

So the two walked towards the bedroom together, and on the way, the mayor's wife was still a little unconvinced, "Just because you are good at reading doesn't mean you will be good in the future. Maybe some people are just nerds."

The mayor snorted sarcastically, "Do you think that kid is a nerd? When you talk to him, which one of his words and demeanor is not an appropriate answer, it should be appropriate.

In my opinion, that child is not only down-to-earth and stable in character, but he is also very refined. Have you forgotten that he rented a piece of land with others in the provincial capital to grow vegetables in a greenhouse? The big watermelon is produced in other people's fields. At a young age, he has such courage, courage, and foresight. This child's mind is far more mature and stable than we imagined.

Where do you think the inspiration for the vigorous development of the agricultural greenhouse planting and breeding industry in the whole city that our municipal party committee has been studying recently came from?That's what Secretary Ouyang thought of after seeing her daughter's achievements, and then brought it up to discuss and study with all of us.

Ouch, if this thing is done, we have made a great contribution to the country and the people, and we will definitely be valued and praised by the superiors in the future! "

"Oh, this is really a good kid?" the mayor's wife said, and then she made fun of another leader's family member and said, "At that time, she asked people if the kid could keep up in school. How about leaving? If she knew that the child's grades in school would be so good, she probably wanted to take back the words. "

The mayor reprimanded, "Oh, don't worry about the affairs of other people's houses. From now on, you should stay away from those people, and don't just gather together if you have nothing to do. To put it short, we are working together with the municipal party committee in the city to try to get the greenhouse planting and animal husbandry out of the way.

If it is successful, the living GDP of the people in the city will increase, so that I can be regarded as having political achievements. If he is promoted in the future, won't I also be eligible to join the municipal party committee?Even if I don't join our municipal party committee, the possibility of me being transferred to another prefecture-level city as a senior city official is quite high.

If I can't make political achievements, I can only do this. Maybe I will be transferred to some other poor and remote place after the few years of working here. "

The mayor's wife nodded, "Okay, I understand!"

The couple here are using Xiang Jin's family to discuss things together, but they don't know that the other families in the compound are also talking about Xiang Jin, the daughter of Ouyang's family who has just come back.

And when it came to the end, everyone, without exception, wanted to have a good relationship with Xiang Jin and his family. Even if some of the children in the family didn't like Xiang Jin, they couldn't show it or it was too obvious.

In this way, when Xiang Jin got up the next morning and went for a morning jog around the compound, several children from the family came up to strike up a conversation with her, either saying something flattering or admiring, saying that she was so In the cold weather, he is not afraid of freezing, and even comes down for a morning run or something.

Of course, this is all for later, so I won’t mention it here for the time being.

"Hey, what do you think of this one I made?" Ouyang Bo made a dumpling and showed it to Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin said very shamelessly, "It's so ugly!"

Ouyang Bo quit, "Oh, you can't ask too much, this is my first time making dumplings, it's already very good to make dumplings like this, maybe you didn't make dumplings for the first time I can't pack it well."

Xiang Jin snorted twice with sarcasm in his eyes, "You really feel good about yourself and inflated yourself, even if it's my first time making dumplings, I think it's better than your appearance.

Look at you, one side has a lot of stuffing, and the other side has less stuffing, and the filling is uneven, and the dumplings you make are also handicapped. This shows that you are not only extremely lacking in aesthetics, but also poor in doing things. Not serious enough.

You still want to do business in the future, but I can tell you that business is not so easy to do. If you want to do a good job in business, make money, and want to make more money, then you must first raise Form a serious and practical good habit, or you will suffer sooner or later! "

"Hey, what about making dumplings, why did you suddenly get involved in business? Besides, you're too alarmist, right?" Ouyang Bo was even more unhappy.

Xiang Jin said, "I'm not scaremongering, first of all, your attitude in doing things is not good, you only pay attention to doing a thing well, and don't pay attention to how well that thing is done.

For example, if you start a company, it belongs to the production type. You only pay attention to making the product, but you don't pay attention to the quality of the product.

Let me tell you that there will be great competition in the future. For a certain product, there may be hundreds or even thousands of companies producing it in the market.

At that time, people will not only compete for price, but also for quality, and even for service. If their quality is cheap and their service attitude is good, then others will be easily selected by merchants and stand out from the entire competitive environment. , and your so-so product can only be eliminated.

Secondly, with your irresponsible, calm, down-to-earth, impatient and impetuous personality and attitude, when discussing cooperation with others, let me tell you that you are easily set up by others.

Don’t rush to refute me, listen to me, some commercial agreements are as long as tens of pages and hundreds of pages of contract clauses, and others may talk to you seriously in the first few pages and the last few pages, You also think that the terms of the contract are quite reasonable, so you flip through the front and back pages of the contract hastily, and then sign a contract with them, but you don't know that they have set you up in the middle. Do you believe it or not? "

"No, no way, you said that at your young age, and you haven't experienced any turbulent events, how can you conclude that there are such bad people in the world?" Xiang Jin's words immediately gave Ouyang Bo Said to be afraid.

Xiang Jin said, "I knew from a young age that although there are not so many bad people in this world, there are not so many good people, and I also knew from a young age that there is no harm in being cautious in everything.

What's more, although I haven't seen any big world, nor have I experienced any big storms, but the books, newspapers and magazines I read are not small, so I can learn a lot from them, and I have a good understanding of the world. Can have a preliminary understanding and judgment.

Boy, don't think everyone is so kind. You have to know that many people can turn into wolves in the face of interests. The future world is an era of wolf-like competition. You are still dreaming there. "

Several elders in Xiang Jin's family felt that what Xiang Jin said made sense, so they all nodded their heads. Although Ouyang Bo seemed to disagree with Xiang Jin's words on the surface, his heart was beating. After that, he became more serious and practical when making dumplings from the bread crust.

Then Xiang Jin's mother suddenly asked, "Grandma Mo and the others brought us so much stuffing, can they keep it for themselves? They won't give us all of it, will they?"

Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, they also have them. We bought a lot of shrimp that day, at least nearly a bucket. Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng made a big pot of this stuffing, and then divided it into They bought two small pots like this, gave us one small pot, and kept the other small pot for themselves. The stuffing in this pot can make at least three or four hundred dumplings, which is enough to eat. gone."

Her mother nodded, "That's good!"

Then her grandma asked, "What time do you plan to go to your grandparents' house?"

Xiang Jin said, "Let's go to the third and fourth grades. Our school has classes on the sixth grade, and we have to go back to school on the fifth grade, so it's only two days. Moreover, the two aunts and uncles in the second grade must also go back to school." The ones from my mother’s family are gone even if they go.”

Several elders in their family nodded again, and then Xiang Jin's mother asked her father, "Then, should we go with us then?

After all, her grandparents, uncles and aunts are still good to Xiao Jin. We went there to thank them for taking care of Xiao Jin over the years, and the second is an attitude, that is, we do not object to Xiao Jin recognizing them . "

Xiang Jin's father said, "Why don't we leave after we send Xiao Jin there, their mother-in-law and grandparents will definitely have something to say at that time, and it may be inconvenient for us to stay there. We will drive to pick her up in the afternoon, and that day we will also stop by to see her Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo."

Xiang Jin's mother nodded after hearing this, "That's true! Okay, then I'll follow your orders and do it like this."

"Ok!"

Then Xiang Jin said to her aunt, "Then Xiao Jin, in the second year of junior high, I followed my aunt to go to other people's houses?"

"Ah?!" Xiang Jin was stunned.

Xiang Jin's mother asked, "Do you want to take her to your husband's house?"

Her aunt Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, when I went to deliver food to my parents today, they heard that Xiao Jin was back, so they asked me to take Xiao Jin to show them the next time I went there.

But sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, every year I give red envelopes to those children in their family, even if Xiaojin accepts a few red envelopes from them, it's okay, they still can't suffer. "

Xiang Jin said, "I don't care about their red envelopes, that's all right, then Auntie, I will accompany you there then."

"Oh, good!" Her aunt immediately responded heartily.

With a lot of people, the work is fast. Xiang Jin's grandfather and grandma rolled out the dough, and Xiang Jin and his family of four took her aunt's bag for five people. They wrapped the dumplings in a little more time, and Xiang Jin Her aunt counted, "There are 360 ​​and three."

Xiang Jin's mother said, "Then you can take some home with you. If you get up late in the morning or go back late at night, you can just order some dumplings to eat."

Her aunt was also polite, "Okay, then I will listen to my sister-in-law."

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Just count the 63 out!"

"Okay!" Xiang Jin's aunt agreed.

Then Xiang Jin's grandma asked, "Should we have a family reunion at night or do you want to eat dumplings?"

They said it was all right, and Xiang Jin reminded, "Oh, by the way, Han Che also brought me a few shredded rabbits and roast ducks, but you still have to remember to get them out and eat them, even though it is winter now , the cooked food is not so easy to spoil, but we still have to get them out and eat them as soon as possible."

Xiang Jin's grandma also remembered, "Oh, that's right, I forgot about this, so let's cook some dishes tonight and have a good year as a family."

"Well, yes!" Her grandfather Xiang Jin nodded.

Xiang Jin suggested again, "Don't make too many dishes, and there will be leftovers when you can spare them."

"Okay, let's get a fish, it's more than enough every year," her grandfather said.

Then Xiang Jin remembered that she hadn't eaten those shrimps, so she ran over to look, and found that a few had died, "Grandpa, grandma, eat these shrimps too, if you put them down like this again Go, I guess I will die tomorrow, and the bass and carp, why do I feel that they are not swimming so comfortably, are they slow to react?"

"Oh, let me take a look, let me take a look," her grandma also walked over quickly, and then found that it was so, so she said a little annoyed, "Oh, we forgot to change the water for them these two days, No way, no way, old man, come here, catch them and dispose of them, I guess this fish will die if we don't eat it until tomorrow."

So Xiang Jin and her grandfather hurried over.

Xiang Jin's aunt counted on her fingers, "There are rabbits, ducks, shrimps, and two fish dishes. That's five dishes, so we won't be able to get any more dishes. Dad, Mom, let's go again." Just boil a sausage and stir-fry a vegetarian dish, I see, then let’s fry that king oyster mushroom or Coprinus comatus."

Xiang Jin's grandma nodded, "Okay, you go and cut two sausages and cook them. I'll get these fish and shrimp with your dad."

Xiang Jin's parents walked over and said that the evening meal would be left to the two of them to rest.

When someone was cooking, Xiang Jin was naturally happy to be at leisure, so she retreated to the living room, then picked up the phone and dialed out. She still wished Grandma Demo and Grandpa Zeng their New Year greetings.
