Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 492. 491. Grand Introduction
Because it takes about two hours to drive from the urban area to the melon and fruit field, Ouyang Bo set off back to the urban area at 08:30, and he has something to do when he goes back, so it takes at least five hours to go back and forth. , so the lunch at Xiang Jin's house was relatively late.

For example, some dishes that need to be stir-fried have to wait for them to arrive or when they are about to arrive.

Xiang Jin came out of the kitchen directly after cooking the sheep's head, picked it up, prepared the dipping sauce and sauce, and then she saw that the few of them had already washed the cured meat with hot water Alright, and then it's being hung in that shed.

"Hey, your speed is quite fast." She walked over and picked up a piece of meat from the big basin, and handed it to her grandfather who was hanging the meat in it.

Grandpa Zeng looked at her and smiled, "Hurry up?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's pretty quick, you've cleaned all the meat and ribs."

Grandpa Zeng laughed haha, "There are so many people, the cleaning is fast! You are in the kitchen, how are the dishes doing now?"

Xiang Jin said, "All the dishes that should be cooked have been cooked and picked up. My aunt is cutting the cooked meat such as belly slices and ear shreds, and my grandma is tearing apart the lamb head meat and bone meat. Mo Grandma is roasting a big goose."

Grandpa Zeng said, "Oh, the big goose cooked by your Grandma Mo is the most delicious. It can be said to be the best of her cooking."

Xiang Jin said, "Then I will eat a few more yuan later!"

Grandpa Zeng said, "Oh, you should eat more, I guarantee you will still want to eat."

Xiang Jin said, "Then why don't we raise a few geese here? Chickens and ducks can be bought outside, but this goose is not very easy to buy. If you want to eat roast goose then Yes, you can just catch one in your pen, slaughter it, and eat it, of course, we will also eat roast goose during the Chinese New Year.”

Grandpa Zeng laughed loudly, "Yes! Let your Grandma Mo and your grandma raise a few."

Xiang Jin just laughed, and then asked, "Oh, Grandpa Zeng, do any of our employees raise chickens and ducks in private?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "I don't know about that."

Her grandfather Xiang Jin said, "Yes, several families are raising them. They say they raise them to eat eggs, but they don't raise many. There are only a few or ten eggs in total, and they are raised behind their house.

They said that it would be a pity to eat up the leftovers, especially at the beginning of summer, so several families went to buy some chickens and ducks to raise. "

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, this is still possible."

Grandpa Zeng said, "There is nothing left in our family to feed the chickens and ducks, and ours is directly used to feed the dogs."

Xiang Jin asked, "How many dogs do we have now?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "Currently there are twelve of them. Every week, I go to the vegetable market to bring them pork liver and pork lung twice, and eat big bones for two days. Then your grandma or grandma Mo will give them They are boiled, fried, stewed, mixed with rice or noodles for them to eat."

Xiang Jin asked, "Do we have to send them to every household?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "No, we bought these things directly and sent them to the old couple who helped us raise cattle. They would help us cook them for them to eat, and then they would automatically feed them every day when they arrived. They ran there to eat, and after the meal, they went back to their respective jurisdictions to stand guard."

"Oh, that's it? Then they are trained to be quite obedient!"

Yan Chen said, "The son of that old couple used to be a police dog soldier in the army."

"Really? Is it possible to train them to be as capable as police dogs?" Xiang Jin was surprised.

Yan Chen said, "That probably won't work. Although our dogs have some wolf dog blood, they are not purebred wolf dogs. They are the offspring of wolf dogs crossed with ordinary rural dogs. They are usually raised to watch It’s okay to guard a hospital at home, but it’s impossible to train them like police dogs, because police dogs are usually dogs with high IQ like wolfhounds, and their IQ is far from reaching it.”

Xiang Jin asked, "Which dogs have higher IQs?"

Yan Chen said, "I know only a few types, one is the German Shepherd, also known as the Blackback, which is what we often call a wolf dog.

The following are Rottweiler, Springer Spaniel, Collie, Doberman, Kunming, and Labrador. "

Xiang Jin said, "I, Han Che, said that your grandfather once gave you a puppy when you were very young. What kind of dog was that?"

Yan Chen's expression suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and Xiang Jin hurriedly said, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Just pretend I didn't ask."

Yan Chen said, "There's nothing I don't want to say, the one my grandfather gave me is just a Labrador."

Xiang Jin said, "Then it seems that you know a lot about dogs."

Yan Chen said, "There are a lot of dogs in the army. I used to watch them train dogs when I was young, so I got to know them after seeing them a lot."

Xiang Jin nodded.

After a while, they hung all the bacon on those wires, and then her grandfather said, "Let's let it drip the moisture on it first, and smoke it later."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and then everyone went back to the room, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen went to flip through Han Che's two jars of bacon.

Later, Xiang Jin saw some lard stained on the cuffs and chest of Yan Chen's clothes, so he told him, Yan Chen lowered his eyes and said, "I'll go change it and wash it, "Then he looked her up and down again, and then said, "You have it in your hair too."

"Ah?!" Xiang Jin reached out and touched her hair, and sure enough, she touched a hand of oil. She hurriedly said, "Then I'll wash my hair and take a shower later."

Yan Chen said, "Then you go first, I will wash after you wash."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then wait a while, I'll be out soon?"

"It's okay, don't worry, you can wash slowly, I'll watch TV first."

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin turned around and went upstairs.

When Xiang Jin and her parents arrived, she and Yan Chen were standing on the laundry table in the yard washing clothes.

After the two greeted them, her mother said, "How can you stand outside to wash clothes in such a cold day? How cold is it?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, it's not cold, there's hot water in this basin, we just got some oil on our clothes when we fished the meat, so we'll scrub it now, maybe we'll need to wash it again." Use a brush on this countertop, throw it in the washing machine and clean it in all directions later.”

Her mother nodded, "I brought you the clothes you asked for. I'll put them in the upstairs room for you first?"

"Oh, good!"

After lunch, everyone was resting in the living room. Xiang Jin's mother, her grandma, and Grandma Mo were talking and chatting. Her father, her grandfather, and Grandpa Zeng were playing chess there. And the three of them were sitting on the sofa and turned down the sound to watch TV.

Thinking of what he promised Yan Chen before, Xiang Jin coughed lightly, then pulled Yan Chen up from the sofa and walked to the center of the living room and said to everyone, "Well, everyone stop, we want to announce to you something."

Her voice was still a little loud, so Ouyang Bo directly turned the TV to mute, and the others stopped talking, and looked at them all in unison.

Xiang Jin grabbed Yan Chen's arm and said, "Parents, grandparents, aunts, elder brothers, Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, let me introduce you grandly. This is my boyfriend Yan Chen. We are talking now. in love."

After she finished the introduction, she saw that the people around her didn't react at all, their expressions were still the same, and everyone continued with the previous things.

For example, her mothers and other female compatriots continued to chat and talk, while her fathers continued to play chess, and Ouyang Bo directly turned on the volume and continued to watch TV.

Xiang Jin was dumbfounded, and her heart suddenly thumped, so she asked directly, "No, what do you mean by this? Why didn't you respond? Does it mean that you don't support it? Does it mean you don't agree?" ?”

Ouyang Bo pressed the remote control again, and everyone in the room looked at them in unison. Ouyang Bo said, "We know that you two are in a relationship. What's so surprising? We already knew that." !"

"Ah?!" Xiang Jin was surprised, and saw that the eyes of the people in the room were looking at them with joking and teasing smiles, and then she blushed slightly, and asked, "When did you know? of?"

Xiang Jin said to her aunt, "We have known each other not long after you started dating. We saw that you two were getting along with each other after Xiaochen rushed from the provincial capital to our country in a hurry when the two of you were about to start school. The pattern is a bit different from the past, and then I guess that the two of you may be in a relationship," what her aunt didn't say was that they got the specific confirmation that it was Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng who told them.

"Ah?! So early?" Xiang Jin was surprised again, and then saw Yan Chen looking at her dotingly and said softly, "What did I say, the people's eyes are bright, they are real We've seen it a long time ago, but the two of us still feel that they don't know."

Xiang Jin said, "Then you don't object?"

Grandma Mo said, "No objection, no objection, I agree with your grandpa Zeng. I know you two are in a relationship. It's too late for me to be happy with your grandpa Zeng. Girl Jin, you are ours." Looking at the child who has grown up, I know that you are a very good child, we have always seen you as a granddaughter, now it is good, you have really become our granddaughter," she said with joy , the eyes that looked at Xiang Jin were shining.

Xiang Jin's mother followed up and expressed her opinion, "Now is not the old society, everything is arranged by parents and family members, and now they advocate the youth of the new era, require young people to have their own thoughts and consciousness, and advocate free love and free marriage. Parents have no right to interfere, I just hope that you are all well, can think maturely, know what you are doing, and don’t regret it in the future.”

Xiang Jin's father also nodded.

Xiang Jin said, "The two of us are very mature in thinking, and we both clearly know what we are doing. The two of us are serious, and we are definitely not the kind who say that we can play casually. We will be together for the rest of our lives in the future. son of a bitch.

First of all, we all have a certain financial foundation. In our emotional life, we will not have hidden worries due to the real economic pressure like many other couples.

Secondly, Yan Chen is capable, and I am not useless. He can break out of his own world without relying on his family background. Didn’t I also create my own world with my own hands and mind, so, I am no worse than him!
The third is that our two interests and hobbies are basically the same, and we can get to know and understand each other well in certain things, and then give each other trust and support. For example, sometimes we don’t need each other to speak out. Can know what the other person is thinking, and what they want to do.

And the fourth point is that if I have a conflict with someone outside, if I want to fight with someone, as long as he is there, he will stand up to protect me without thinking. If I want to beat someone, he will always be unconditional stood by my side, handed me the stick, and beat people with me.

Of course, we are all civilized and reasonable people, and we don’t shake our fists at people every now and then, like some people who are cheap and they will come to provoke you, so we can’t bear it anymore and naturally teach each other a lesson. "

The whole room burst out laughing at her last statement.

Then Xiang Jin's grandma also said, "You two children grew up together, and you know and are familiar with each other. Naturally, we also hope that when you make friends and fall in love, you will find someone who knows everything. , I have no problem with your grandfather."

Xiang Jin said to her aunt, "You two children are both smart and excellent. Not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of ability, they are very suitable. Auntie has no objection here."

Ouyang Bo directly raised his hand and said, "I have no objection either!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the corners of Xiang Jin's mouth curled up, and then Yan Chen said, "I promise to all the elders here that I will only like Xiang Jin all my life, and I will treat her well, respect her, and understand her all my life." She, and tolerate her!
My family, my grandfather, and my aunt all know that I like Xiang Jin, and they also like Xiang Jin very much, and they all support me in pursuing her! "

Xiang Jin's mother asked, "Have they all met Xiao Jin?"

Yan Chen said, "My grandfather has never seen Xiang Jin in person, but he has seen Xiang Jin's photos, and he has also learned about Xiang Jin's character and behavior from my aunt and Uncle Tao.

When Xiang Jin went to the provincial capital to inspect shops and buy a house last summer vacation, my grandfather heard that Xiang Jin had come to the provincial capital, so he rushed home from the army to see her.

But because my grandfather had already returned home when he came back from filling in the application form, so I didn’t see him, so later my grandfather said that if he was free during the Chinese New Year, he would take Xiang Jin to meet him.

My aunt met Xiang Jin, she said she liked Xiang Jin the first time she saw her, and asked me to take Xiang Jin to the provincial capital to play more. "

After hearing this, Xiang Jin's mother was relieved, and the smile on her face became brighter, and she even said two words "good".

Everyone else smiled and nodded!
Ouyang Bo said, "This is what you said. If you dare to treat my sister badly or bully her, I will definitely not let you go. I don't care if you are the grandson of the army commander or the chief." , to me, only my sister is the most important!"

Yan Chen said, "There won't be that day, I'm not a scumbag! And I never think that being my grandpa's grandson is anything special.

My grandfather has always taught me to be low-key, humble, serious and responsible, and not to bully others. If I bully others, I will bear all the consequences. He will not control me! "

"Okay, just a few words, I recognize you!" Ouyang Bo said.

Xiang Jin's father suddenly stood up from his seat, and then called Yan Chen to the yard alone.

Xiang Jin walked over to chat with a few female compatriots, and when they looked at her, their eyes were full of love and smiles. Grandma Mo held her hand and looked at her and said, "Okay, Hurrah!"

After chatting for a while, everyone got up and went to make bread and dumplings.

There were so many people meeting, Xiang Jin didn't want to join in the fun, so she took Ouyang Bo to the yard to light a fire and smoke bacon.

But the brothers and sisters didn't see their father and Yan Chen in the yard, and when they looked outside, they saw them standing at least 50 meters away from their home.

Ouyang Bo said, "What are the two of you talking about? They are still so secretive, they have gone so far to talk, and they have talked for so long and haven't finished talking?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't know!" Then the brother and sister didn't care so much, they squatted down and started to make a fire, and then put cypress branches.

About half an hour later, Yan Chen and their father came back. When they came back, Xiang Jin and the others were already making dumplings around the table, so Yan Chen also washed his hands to join in, but Xiang Jin Her father, her grandfather, and Grandpa Zeng didn't come, but continued to play chess there.

It is faster to do more things with more hands. From kneading noodles to rolling noodles to making dumplings to dumpling making, it took less than two hours in total.

This time they made quite a lot of dumplings, about [-] dumplings.

Because lunch was relatively late, they didn't eat until after two o'clock, so everyone was not very hungry, so Xiang Jin and the others ordered dumplings directly at night.

While eating dinner, Grandpa Zeng said to everyone, "I'll take the spoon tomorrow at noon and make you a braised soft-shelled turtle. Our family has so many seafood. It's cold today, so we have to eat them as soon as possible." , otherwise it won’t be good if you freeze to death by then.”

Xiang Jin's father said, "Okay, Uncle Zeng, I will join you tomorrow and cook two dishes for everyone."

Xiang Jin said to her grandfather, "Okay, then count me in tomorrow, and the three of us will make lunch for everyone."

Grandpa Zeng said "Yes!"

Xiang Jin said, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't you guys go out for a stroll or play?"

Grandma Mo said, "We have nothing to do here except a county town, and the weather outside is gloomy, and it looks like it's going to snow again, so it's better to stay warm at home. Besides, we have a few sets of mahjong, and we can get together to play small mahjong at that time."

Xiang Jin's grandma also nodded with a smile, "That's right, I haven't played mahjong this year."

Xiang Jin joked, "From grandma's tone, you seem to be quite addicted to mahjong."

Her aunt Xiang Jin said, "Your grandma used to be in the city, and almost every few days she went to make rounds with a few old aunts in the community."

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "We don't pay any money, it's pure entertainment."

Ouyang Bo said, "You don't play for money, but you play melon seeds and peanuts. Whoever loses will get a hand."

Everyone in the room suddenly burst out laughing.

Xiang Jin said, "Okay, why don't you all have a good mahjong addiction tomorrow? I'll make lunch for you? But you have to help me deal with that bastard, I don't know how to deal with that."

Yan Chen said, "When the time comes, shall I help you?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes?"

The elders were very moved when they heard it. Grandpa Zeng and Xiang's father and her grandfather didn't say that they would come to cook at noon tomorrow. Xiang Jin thought to himself, it seems that these people still want to play cards for a while Woolen cloth.

Alas, that's all, throughout the year, she can't cook for them a few times, so let's cook for them two more meals while she is at home, which can be regarded as her filial piety to them.

Her aunt asked tentatively, "Aren't you going out to play tomorrow?"

Xiang Jin said, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be many people wherever we go, and we will stay at home just like you. In the second day of junior high, Yan Chen and I will go out to watch a movie."

The whole family nodded, "OK, OK, let's cook in the second year of junior high."

Xiang Jin said, "Yes!"

Ouyang Bo said, "That girl, look, there are only ten people in our family. We need four people to play mahjong, and we need to set up two tables, but there is still one person short of them. I will make it up for them when the time comes." How many? Then you and Yan Chen will be in charge of making lunch, and I will be in charge of washing the dishes."

Xiang Jin said, "Yes! All eight of you can call, and we will leave lunch to the two of us."

When everyone heard it, they were immediately happy.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. After watching it for about an hour, Xiang Jin lost much interest. At this time, Lei Jia just called, and then she went directly upstairs to answer the phone.

After answering the phone, she went directly downstairs to wash up. Seeing that Yan Chen didn't have much enthusiasm for watching the Spring Festival Gala, she pulled him aside, and the two began to discuss the menu for tomorrow's lunch.

Her grandma and grandma Mo both put forward their opinions after hearing it, that is, since the past few days have been full of fish and meat, try to be as light as possible at noon tomorrow, with more vegetarian dishes and less meat. It is to cook sauerkraut porridge or something, and make it as thin as possible.

However, the two grandmothers said that tomorrow is the first day of the omen of the New Year, so try not to kill animals, so don't touch the bastards and fish tomorrow, the two grandpas thought about it, and then Nodding in agreement, those parallel imports escaped like this. They don't have to die tomorrow for the time being, and they can live for another day or a few more days.

Grandpa Zeng looked at Xiang Jin and his parents and said, "Then you two will stay here for one more day, and go back after lunch on the second day of junior high school."

Xiang Jin's parents looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, they nodded in agreement.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen then crossed out some of the previously prepared menus, and then Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then let's make some home-cooked dishes for lunch tomorrow, with vegetables, and save the hard food." vegetable."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

When it was past ten o'clock, all the men in the family ran outside to set off firecrackers. Xiang Jin didn't buy many firecrackers in his family, just a few small firecrackers, and two boxes of sky-high cannons, and then a few One firework, but the cannons were not all set off, so I put a box, just for fun, to add a festive atmosphere, and the other box will be set off tomorrow night.

There is a custom here that you can't clean up on the first day of the new year, because you will clean up your money and go away, and you can't go to work on the first day of the new year, which will indicate that you will have endless energy throughout the year. Although it is a custom, There is no scientific basis, but one side has one custom handed down from ancient times, Xiang Jin and the others decided to abide by it, so after setting off the firecrackers, several young people lit up the flashlights and went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables for preparation. For tomorrow.

According to the national customs of our country, during the Chinese New Year, the elders always give red envelopes to the underage juniors, so when Xiang Jin got up early in the morning, he got nine big red envelopes including Yan Chen, except for her What brother gave her was a red envelope of 500 yuan, and everyone else was 1000 yuan. Yan Chen directly sealed a bank card for her, and Xiang Jin asked him, "How much is in it?"

Yan Chen said, "Not much."

"How much is not much?" Xiang Jin asked.

Yan Chen said, "Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan, I wish you all the best in the new year!"

Xiang Jin laughed, "I like this!"

Yan Chen also laughed, "The password is your birthday."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Then, should I also give you a red envelope?"

Yan Chen said, "No, I'm an adult!"

Xiang Jin nodded again, "Then I've earned it!"

Everyone in the room burst out laughing.

Then every elder on Xiang Jin's side, including her brother, took out another red envelope and handed it to Yan Chen, who was stunned.

Xiang Jin's grandma looked at him and said, "This is not a red envelope for children. Since you, Xiao Jin, are dating, then this is a gift from us for meeting you. Just accept it, don't think too little!"

Yan Chen looked at Xiang Jin, and saw Xiang Jin nodding towards him with a smile on his face. Yan Chen couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and then he took them one by one with both hands, and thanked them all politely.

Seeing that both of them received the red envelopes, and then Grandpa Zeng yelled and started playing mahjong, Xiang Jin said, "Wait a minute, you were the ones who gave us red envelopes as elders, now I want to ask Yan Chen As the boss, I will give you a year-end bonus," she said, turning around and running upstairs.

The elders present couldn't help laughing, and Xiang Jin said to her aunt, "Is there still such an operation?"

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, some companies in the city will have such a kind of welfare for their employees, one is to affirm their previous work, and the other is to encourage them to make persistent efforts in their future work. "

Several elders nodded, expressing their understanding.

After a while, Xiang Jin came down with a large stack of red envelopes, and then distributed them one by one, "The red envelope with the red dot is a year-end red envelope prepared by Yan Chen and I, thank you You have worked hard for your dedication and responsibility before, and this slightly thinner red envelope is a little pocket money from Yan Chen for your filial piety."

Looking at the red envelope in her hand, her aunt jokingly said, "Oh, there are two red envelopes, they are so thick, how much did you seal for us?"

Xiang Jin said, "Not much, the thicker one is [-], it's from the two of us privately, not from the company, the company is giving you dividends.

Although grandparents came late, they had been taking care of our lives at the school before, and it was still hard work, so we gave each of you [-] yuan, and the slightly thinner one was [-] yuan. "

Her aunt Xiang Jin said, "Isn't this too much?"

Several other people also echoed that they gave too much and asked them to take some back.

Xiang Jin waved his hand and said, "Not much, not much, we still made some money this year, and you all worked really hard, so take it all."

Saying that, Xiang Jin went to her parents, and then gave them the remaining red envelopes, "Dad, Mom, there is 3000 yuan in this thinner red envelope, it's my For your little thoughts, you can use them to make pieces.

This thicker red envelope is given to you by Yan Chen. Like grandma and the others, it is also 5000 yuan. He said that he originally wanted to prepare some gifts for you, but one is that neither of us seems to know you well. What do you like, the second one is that there is no time, so I will give you some money this year, and you can buy what you like. "

Yan Chen said, "Yes, uncle and aunt, in the coming year, I will prepare some gifts for you that you like, and I hope you don't think I'm a cliché."

Xiang Jin's mother waved her hand, "No, no, your child is so polite and thoughtful, okay, then uncles and aunts will accept it, thank you both." Received the red envelope.

Several other elders also jokingly said "Thank you boss" to Xiang Jin and Yan Chen.

The corners of Xiang Jin and the others raised their mouths, and then Xiang Jin handed the last two red envelopes to her brother, "I'm with Yan Chen!"

Ouyang Bo lied and said, "Oh, how embarrassing this is?!"

Xiang Jin stuffed it directly into his hand, "Take it, you are so polite to us!"

Ouyang Bo chuckled, and his eyes suddenly glowed with gold, "Okay, then I will thank you all?"

Xiang Jin waved his hand, and Ouyang Bo said, "Oh, I have something for you too," he took out a wallet from his trouser pocket, and took out a neatly folded wallet from it. The note came and was handed to Xiang Jin.

When Xiang Jin took the note, she asked, "What?"

Ouyang Bo said, "When I was going to the city yesterday, I passed by the bank, and it happened to pay back the money I owed you. Go to the bank to check when you are free."

Xiang Jin opened it, and after seeing the number on it, he said in surprise, "You have given me all the 14 yuan. Last time, didn't you say that you can't pay me back after you hoarded the wine?"

Ouyang Bo said, "I just put away more than 5 yuan in wine, and then I have 6 yuan left, plus the dividends from the melon and fruit field for more than two months, and It was the profit from my shop, and then I saw that there were more than 14 yuan, which was enough to pay back your debt, so I just paid it back directly, so as not to keep worrying about one thing in my heart."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! You can be regarded as someone who owns real estate in Shanghai by virtue of your own ability."

Ouyang Bo laughed, "That's true!"

The people in the room laughed again, and then everyone went back to their rooms to put red envelopes, and then they came downstairs and yelled about playing mahjong. After a while, eight of them got two red envelopes. At a mahjong stand, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen directly acted as their logistics support staff, such as pouring tea and water, and changing melon seeds and peanut plates.

Of course, when they had free time, the two of them would just sit on the sofa and watch TV or discuss some other topics. When the time came, the two of them would go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Xiang Jin grabbed two handfuls of the Northeast fungus that Lin Zi had given her before and soaked them in hair. "At noon, let's make a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, like this fungus fried pork, dry-stir-fried green beans, and cucumber. Make Lizhuang white meat with zheergen, green pepper and potato shreds, eggplant and bean curd, stir-fried meat, then boil a heart tongue, mix a preserved egg in cold sauce, and then use the carrot shreds lettuce shreds and some vermicelli to make a cold salad three shreds, that's it Small dishes, let's make the portion bigger."

Yan Chen nodded, "Sure, I have no objection."

Xiang Jin said, "Then I'll cook the porridge in the pot first, and then I'll cook the meat in the pot as well, and then I'll prepare the side dishes. You go get some preserved eggs to peel, probably seven or eight."

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"

The meal at noon changed from the big fish and meat in the past few days. The combination of meat and vegetables has meat and vegetables, which makes everyone very refreshing and appetizing. So after the meal, everyone is very satisfied. Basically, every day Everyone ate two bowls of porridge, and everyone finished the dishes on the table with dignity. Except for a few slices of fat left in the fungus sliced ​​meat, there was basically nothing left.

Grandpa Zeng sighed with satisfaction, "Oh, today's sauerkraut porridge is even more comfortable to drink."

Everyone said yes, and Ouyang Bo said, "I feel very thirst-quenching and greasy."

Suddenly, Grandma Mo asked Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, when are you going to go to your grandparents' place?"

Xiang Jin said, "I plan to go there in the third year of junior high school. Every year in the second year of junior high school, my two aunts will go back to their parents' home."

Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay, then we will go back to our hometown in the third year of junior high, and then we will go back to the graves of those ancestors, and then bring some vegetables to your Aunt Liao and the others. Buy it, they should be ready in the third year of junior high school."

Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and Ouyang Bo said, "When the time comes, should I take you there or let Yan Chen take you there?"

Yan Chen said, "I will send her there when the time comes."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Alright!"

Then Xiang Jin's mother asked Grandma Mo and the others, "Auntie, uncle, when the son of Sister-in-law Liao's family gets married, how much do you plan to give?"

At this time, people in rural areas usually give gifts of 100 to 50 yuan for weddings, and 60 yuan for ordinary people. For example, some relatives and close friends and neighbors will give [-] yuan. Otherwise, the head of the hostess's natal house is a hundred or one hundred with a little bit, but it is basically very rare that it is like two hundred.

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng glanced at each other, and then Grandpa Zeng said, "We may have to pay five or six hundred yuan, because the relationship between our two families is different from other families in the bay.

Chen Chen and his Aunt Liao have always taken good care of our family. In the past, whether it was growing vegetables or crops, she often came to help us with work. Even after moving here, she still asked someone to send us some Here are native eggs and native duck eggs. In the past year alone, we basically ate the chicken and duck eggs that their family gave us. Our family basically rarely bought them outside. "

The elders on Xiang Jin's side also nodded one after another, and Xiang Jin's mother said, "Okay, then we will follow you as much as you do, so will you follow five hundred or six hundred?"

Grandma Mo said, "This good thing comes in pairs, maybe it will cost six hundred."

Xiang Jin's mother nodded again, "Okay, then six hundred."

Then Yan Chen said to his grandparents, "Han Che left 200 yuan, and asked you to help him bring it to Aunt Liao and the others." He took 600 yuan directly from his wallet Passed it to his grandmother, "Two hundred of them belong to Han Che, and the other four hundred belong to me."

Grandma Mo said as she took it, "That kid is also very polite!"

Her aunt Xiang Jin said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, maybe we should bring some gifts then?"

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Yes, I have to bring 200 yuan over there. Her aunt is also warm and thoughtful, and she never leaves us behind every time she brings anything."

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "You brought a gift, so should I also bring some?"

Yan Chen looked at her and thought for a while, then said, "You don't need it, uncles and aunts used your name to go to their place to drink wedding wine.

I am different, my grandpa and grandma just represent their own friendship with Aunt Liao, and Aunt Liao usually prepares things for me to take back to the provincial capital alone. "

Xiang Jin's mother said, "I'm afraid we will still have to bring a gift in our name at that time. Xiao Jin stayed in their house for such a long time and was taken care of by her. As parents, we must remember this favor. Be grateful.

Then Xiaojin, when the time comes, mom and dad will give them another red envelope in your name, how about the same amount as Xiaochen's? "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, yes, but I don't want you to seal it for me, I seal it myself, I have money!"

The whole family laughed loudly, and Ouyang Bo asked, "Then should I seal it?"

Xiang Jin said, "You don't need to seal it, you just stay with your parents, and besides, you don't have any actual relationship with them, every time it's incidental, it's because of us that Aunt Liao treats you well." For the sake of my face, you treat her well, that's because you are looking at my face, in fact, you don't need to bring your grandparents, because my parents have already represented you."

Xiang Jin's father nodded, "Well, you don't need to bring it, the gift money from our side is enough to represent our family. You brought too much, but it added pressure and trouble to others. You must know that a gift money With the development of a society's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, its value is also rising. At this moment, you have brought [-] to others. Maybe it will be our turn to do something at that time. It's only three hundred and four hundred, so it's not good to let the three families suddenly add so much back to you."

Everyone nodded and said that was the truth. After all, the tradition of our country for thousands of years is to reciprocate gifts. If you went to my house to have a wedding banquet, then I will also go to your house to eat when your family is doing something in the future. The wine comes with the gift, but the gift is often higher than when you came to my house. If you follow the same amount, then the master will not only curl his lips and be unhappy, but also be criticized by others if it spreads. If you don't go, someone will poke your spine and say it.

So Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Okay, then we won't bring that gift money."

After discussing the ceremony, Xiang Jin's mother said, "Then uncle and aunt will go then?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "We'll see the situation when the time comes. It's probably your aunt who will go. We'll start picking fruits and vegetables again on the fifth and sixth day of the junior high."

Xiang Jin's mother nodded, "Okay, then we will come to pick you up then, well, they only have one meal at noon on the sixth day, right? It seems that in some places the rural custom is to have two meals, and one meal on the evening of the fifth day , One meal in the morning on the sixth day, don’t make it embarrassing if we catch the wrong time node.”

Grandma Mo nodded, "Well, the meal at noon on the sixth day starts at eleven o'clock on time. Dongmei said that they will prepare the table better at that time, so that they will not follow the traditional custom, so that everyone will not be surprised at that time." It’s not very comfortable to go to drink early in the morning, and some people don’t have much work at the beginning of the new year, so they want to sleep in at home or something.”

Xiang Jin's mother nodded, "Okay, let's figure it out."

Then everyone said to continue, what to continue, of course it is playing mahjong.

They played for money in the morning, so Xiang Jin asked them how the battle was going in the morning, and they said that their fight was small, one yuan per shot, so the wins and losses were not big. Ouyang Bo said that he lost ten yuan in the morning, Her aunt Xiang Jin said that she won only five yuan.

Then they asked her and Yan Chen if they wanted to fight, and if so, they let them?
Both of them waved their hands, saying that they were not interested in that, and then Xiang Jin said that the two of them wanted to go down to the basement to see their wine collection, so Xiang Jin's aunt went upstairs to get the key to the basement for them. Come, and then led them to point out the specific entrance, and then went back to play cards. Xiang Jin and the others moved the bluestone slab together, then opened the wooden door, and then followed the layer of cement. The stairs go down.

After walking a few stairs, Xiang Jin said, "It's kind of dark, should we go back and get a flashlight?"

Yan Chen looked at the surrounding environment, and then saw that there was a switch on the stone wall, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it, and then the light below it lit up, and Xiang Jin said in surprise, "Hey, it turns out that there is a switch inside. Are the lights still on?"

Yan Chen also said, "Well, I didn't expect that either!"

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, they are quite thoughtful."

"Don't turn your head when you go down the stairs, pay attention to your feet."

"Oh!"
