Chapter 498 497. Who orders whom?

The next morning, Xiang Jin got up and went downstairs, and then in the aisle upstairs, she saw Uncle Tao and Yan Chen coming back from outside in a pickup truck, so she quickly went downstairs and walked to her grandma and Grandma Mo asked.

"Where did Yan Chen and the others go to do this early in the morning?"

Her grandma said, "Send those two butchers back."

"Ah?! Then all the sheep in our family have been slaughtered?!" Xiang Jin was surprised.

Both her grandma and Grandma Mo had smiles on their faces, and her grandma said, "The slaughter is done, all of them are slaughtered!"

Xiang Jin said, "But I didn't even hear the pitiful cry of that sheep, and it was killed so quickly?!"

Grandma Mo laughed and said, "That's an old butcher, he was very skilled and killed with a single knife, so the sheep was slaughtered without any pain, and the place where the sheep were slaughtered was already some distance from our house. So it's normal for you not to hear."

Xiang Jin said, "The butcher and the others really came at four or five o'clock?"

Grandma Mo nodded, "Well, I came after five o'clock."

"You woke up at five o'clock too?"

Grandma Mo nodded, "Well, your grandpa and the others went to kill the sheep together, and grandma and I got up to make breakfast."

"So you've all had breakfast?" Xiang Jin asked again.

Her grandma nodded and said, "I've eaten it all, I've eaten it all, you're the only one who hasn't eaten it yet, you little slob, go wash up, wash up and eat, we'll warm the rice in the pot for you, You and I, Grandma Zeng, let’s go to the car shed to cook the mutton first, so as to save time and a long delay.”

"Oh!" Xiang Jin responded and turned to wash her face. Yan Chen came back just as she was washing her face after brushing her teeth.

Seeing her appearance, Yan Chen asked, "Just got up?"

"Well, hey, why did you come back alone? Did I just see Uncle Tao with you upstairs?"

Yan Chen said, "Uncle Tao went to the vegetable field."

"Oh," Xiang Jin nodded clearly, and then asked, "What time did you wake up?"

Yan Chen said, "Six o'clock!"

"It's so early, and you didn't go to slaughter the sheep, why did you get up so early?!" She woke up more than an hour earlier than her.

Yan Chen said, "I woke up, got up, and went outside for a run."

Xiang Jin hung the washcloth on the rope, "Then did you go to the place where the sheep were slaughtered?"

"No, not interested in that!"

"Oh, well, shall I have breakfast then?"

"Ok!"

In the middle of the meal, Xiang Jin suddenly asked, "Hey, where is our mutton? Why didn't I see it? Could it be divided up and put in the refrigerator?"

Yan Chen said, "The two trees that were still hanging on the slaughter site have not been moved back."

"Hey, why is that? Why don't you move back and let them decompose the meat for us? The butcher's knife is fast, and it can decompose a sheep in two or three strokes. If we decompose it ourselves, it may not be so Easy?"

Yan Chen said, "The pig butcher is still a cook. It is said that he has taken over the job of a wedding banquet, so he has to go back to cook for others in a hurry. He didn't even eat breakfast with us, so he slaughtered it and peeled it. After that, let us divide the meat ourselves."

"Oh, is that so?" After his explanation, Xiang Jin immediately understood.

"Ok!"

"Okay, divide it yourself, divide it yourself!"

Xiang Jin cleaned up the dishes after eating, and then said to Yan Chen, "Are we going to clean up?"

Yan Chen said, "Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to clean up after lunch, and it's very fast to clean up, let's take those cured fish back to the room to hang, and then give the bacon from Han Che's family Hang it in the shed and smoke it for them."

Xiang Jin heard, "Oh, that's right, that meat from their house should be smoked."

So the two went to the yard to open the tin shed to collect cured fish.

When he saw the rows of dried fish hanging on the wire, Xiang Jin couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's not bad, it seems that the fish has no moisture, and the color is close to That bright red."

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it's really not bad. It can be stored after hanging it in the room for two or three days."

"Ok!"

The two of them followed suit and took the fish off the wire one by one and took them to the room specially used for drying cured meat.

"Do you want to clean up the fish you brought back to the provincial capital right now?" Xiang Jin asked now as he handed him the dried fish in his hand.

Yan Chen said, "Yes!"

Xiang Jin said, "Then I'll find two baskets for you later."

"Why are you looking for a basket instead of a plastic bag? How convenient are plastic bags?" Yan Chen asked.

Xiang Jin said, "Because the plastic bag is not breathable? The basket is breathable, and it can be dried again in the basket. At that time, not only the fish will be put in the basket, but also the bacon and sausage will be put in the basket.

And after you go back, you have to have someone hang them up immediately, and let them dry for a few days before storing them, otherwise they will be prone to mold if there is too much moisture. "

"it is good!"

"This time I'm going to BJ, do you want to bring some bacon?"

"Being not!"

"You don't eat?"

"inconvenient!"

"Um?!"

Yan Chen explained, "The house is not well decorated, and there is no place to put it."

"Didn't it mean to put it in a hot pot restaurant and let Uncle Duoji make it for you?"

Yan Chen said, "They are usually very busy, so I won't bother them. I will go to Shanghai to eat at your place during the summer vacation."

"Okay, then why don't you come over then, I'll make it for you to eat."

It took the two of them almost half an hour to put the fish in the house to hang, and it also took more than an hour to pick up the cured meat from Han Che's house, put it in a hot water pot, clean it, and dry it. Hanging them in the tin shed, and finally waiting for more than an hour, after the meat stopped dripping, they were finally smoked.

Followed Xiang Jin and said, "Then you stay in the house and watch, I will go to grandma and the others to see if there is anything that needs help?"

"it is good!"

Seeing her bring out two vegetable baskets from the house, and one of them contained a pair of labor gloves and a sickle, Yan Chen asked, "Are you going to pick vegetables in the field?"

"Ah, it's time to pick some pea tips and coriander and come back. I'll use it at noon."

"Be careful when cutting, don't hurt your hands!"

"I know, I went?"

"it is good!"

When Xiang Jin passed by, he saw two grandmas, one was washing two large basins of boiled mutton under the faucet on the sink next to it, and the other was setting up a small wooden table on the table next to it. White radish is sliced ​​on the cutting board.

"Grandma, do you need me to do anything?" Xiang Jin asked while walking over and throwing two large firewood into the stove holes of the two large iron pots.

Grandma Mo said that she didn't have any for the time being, and the mutton in her place will be cleaned immediately, and then it can be put into the pot to continue cooking. Grandma Xiang Jin said, "I don't need you here for the time being, but you can Go back and peel some garlic and make a dip."

Xiang Jin said, "There's no rush for that one, it's still early, since I don't need mine here, then I'll go to the vegetable field to pick some pea tips and chop a few lettuces first."

The two grandmas said "Yes!"

Just when Xiang Jin had just picked the vegetables she needed for noon and was heading home, her parents arrived.

Her brother stopped the car, her parents and aunts got out of the car, and then took the two vegetable baskets from her, and her mother said, "Why did you pick so many vegetables? You are carrying a lot of vegetables! Shen?"

Xiang Jin said, "It doesn't sink. It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. The pea tips may only weigh five or six catties, and there are only a few lettuces. The rest are some shallots and coriander Celery and some chili."

Her aunt asked, "Did you really cook a whole sheep?!"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, a whole head, plus a sheep's head!"

Her aunt said, "Will you finish eating by then?"

Xiang Jin said, "It should be enough to eat. The sheep in our family is not big. It comes from goats. The slaughtered sheep and its internal organs are at most about 40 catties. There are so many people. There are more than [-] employees, not to mention so many people in our own family, and it seems that there are two customers and their drivers will stay for lunch."

Her aunt was surprised, "Is there a client who wants to stay for lunch?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah, I'm staying here to wait for the goods, so I will definitely invite him to have lunch together."

"Who?!"

Xiang Jin said, "I don't know, I just heard them say when I was picking vegetables in the field, that Grandpa Zeng and the others greeted them."

After the family arrived home, her aunt and her brother took over the job of washing vegetables directly, and her mother asked her if she wanted to steam some rice or something?

After thinking about it, Xiang Jin decided that they should steam some. After all, they all do manual labor, and some of them still eat a lot, so she told her mother to steam some, and her mother told her to go. Steam.

Xiang Jin didn't refuse, and then she went to get a bunch of garlic heads to peel. After her father and Yan Chen met, they also joined the ranks of peeling garlic.

After her aunt and brother cleaned the vegetables, her aunt came over and asked her, "Then I went to chop those shallots, coriander, peppers and other vegetables for seasoning?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, but how about chopping up the pepper a little bit?"

Her aunt made an "OK" gesture.

Her brother then asked, "Is there enough fermented bean curd at home? If not, I'll drive out and buy some."

Xiang Jin said, "Go and see in the kitchen yourself, I don't know."

After seeing it, Ouyang Bo came out and said, "Sure enough, it's not enough, I'll go buy some back!"

Yan Chen got up and said, "Shall I go with you?"

Ouyang Bo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright!"

After they left, Xiang Jin and her father were the only ones who peeled the garlic. Xiang Jin asked him, "Dad, how have you been at home these days?"

His father said, "It's not that bad, it's just that several families in the courtyard take turns to treat everyone to a meal together."

"Then when it's our turn, what did you cook for them?"

Her father said, "It's too many, there are more than a dozen dishes, beef and mutton, a fish, a yam pork rib soup, a garlic and white meat that you taught me to make, and a fungus sliced ​​meat, fried pork with yellow flowers, cold salad I made a pig's ear, cooked a little bit of that bacon sausage, and a stir-fried mushroom with vegetables, and I also made a braised lion's head and fried pork with pepper."

Xiang Jin nodded, "It seems quite rich, there are twelve dishes and one soup."

Her father said, "They also make a lot of food. They are all complete with chicken, duck and fish. Our family has mutton, so we don't cook chicken and duck."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"And you, what have you been doing in the melon and fruit field these days?" Her father followed suit.

Xiang Jin said, "I'm busy these days."

"Oh? What are you up to?" Her mother asked jokingly when she heard her words after steaming the rice.

Xiang Jin counted them down, "On the third day of junior high school, I went to the field to pick some vegetables for my Aunt Liao, then He Yanchen, Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo sent the vegetables to them, and then Yan Chen then drove me to my grandparents' house.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Aunt Liao's house to pick up Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo back to the melon and fruit field.

Then yesterday we baked bread for a day, oh, by the way, you can take some back with you when the time comes, we made maybe [-] or so. "

Her parents were surprised, and her mother said, "How did you do that? Are you going to give it away again?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "You're right, I plan to send three or four to each employee after lunch later, and then Uncle Tao will take some away and leave some for grandparents and others." , you will take it back with you when the time comes, and you won’t have to get up so early in the morning to queue up to buy buns.”

Her mother asked her, "How much flour did you use to bake so much bread?"

Xiang Jin stretched out two fingers, "Two bags of flour, twenty catties!"

Her parents were a little dumbfounded, and her mother said, "You don't think it's troublesome?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not troublesome, what's the trouble with that, I feel quite fulfilled to be able to bake so much bread."

"You child, you are always restless. Have you packed your things?" Her mother gave her a reproachful look, and then asked.

Xiang Jin said, "There's nothing to clean up. Didn't you all clean up my things? What I need to clean up here is a bottle of facial cleanser and a bottle of facial cleanser. Oh, by the way, I let you Have you brought all the receipts you brought me?"

Her mother said, "Bring it, bring it, I'll show it to you later, why do you want to give that house to Xiang Lan?"

Then Xiang Jin told them the reason, "It's impossible to live in that house, so I can't afford her, right? Compared with her, Xiang Lan is closer to me, and besides, the uncles and aunts in that house If I want to buy it, I am happy to go along with the flow to do the favor.

To put it bluntly, it is more meaningful for the house to fall into the hands of my uncles and aunts than hers. Every year, my uncles and aunts still bring me a lot of souvenirs. Woolen cloth.

On the third day of junior high school last time, when we left, they brought us a lot of things again.

There are not only fifty or sixty catties of rice, but also twenty or thirty catties of noodles. They brought us two pots of oil, one pot of rapeseed oil, and one pot of sesame oil.

The rapeseed oil is packed in a [-]-jin pot, and the sesame oil is packed in a [-]-jin pot. My grandma said that we like to eat hot pot, and the sesame oil is the most delicious seasoning.

Later, they brought us at least ten catties of peanuts and mung beans, and five or six chickens and ducks. Now, they are still raised there.

Originally, there were sausages, bacon, and a large basket of chicken and duck eggs for us, but because Aunt Liao brought us so many chicken and duck eggs and we had so many bacon and sausages, so we I didn't pick up.

Without the permission of my uncles, aunts, and second uncles and aunts, my grandparents would not be able to bring me so many things no matter how much they love me.

You must know that some sons and daughters-in-law are the most stingy and stingy, even if they are related to them, the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, all kinds of things are not pleasing to the eye, let alone me who have nothing to do with them A little bit of blood relationship, don't you think? "

Her parents nodded, "This is true!"

Xiang Jin said, "So, since my uncles and aunts are so worried about their house, and worried that Yang Hui will not be able to find a good wife because of the house, then I will help them.

It's impossible for Xiang Lan to live there alone with that house, and she will sell it to others at that time.

Others are buying, and uncles and aunts are also buying, and others may not be able to pay such a high price.

You must know that I put a lot of thought into the layout of the house, both in appearance and inside.

And I also spent some money, and my own investment was nearly 2 yuan, not to mention that Yang Juyun had 5000 yuan on hand at the beginning.

Although she didn't spend all of her 5000 yuan at the beginning, I just counted it all with her.

With a cost of [-], not everyone is willing to pay that much money to buy it.

But uncles and aunts are different, they can afford the price, and they are honest and kind people, so they won't treat Xiang Lan badly from this point of view.

Otherwise, my second uncle and aunt would not do it. You must know that my second aunt also wanted that house very much. When my eldest aunt said that she wanted to buy that house, my second aunt was sour and envious. of.

If she knew that my uncle and aunt had fallen in love with Xianglan's house, or bought that house with Xianglan at a super low price, she would never do it.

So even if my uncle and aunt wanted to shut up her mouth, it was impossible for her to do that insincere thing.

So in this way, not only my uncles and aunts can get the house they want, but Xiang Lan can also get more than 2 yuan for the sale of the house. It's a win-win thing, why can't I make it happen? "

In fact, there is another reason she didn't say that she didn't want to see Yang Juyun in that Xiangjiawan again, it was so far away!
Her parents nodded again, and Xiang Jin said, "No matter what, that girl will have at least one house of her own in the future, and if she has a house that is completely her own, she will not be afraid of nothing. Once the place is settled, the heart will be at ease.

She can now live with her grandparents, uncles and aunts, and they won't say anything, but if Yang Hui and Yang Zhao and his brothers marry daughters-in-law in the future, it will be difficult for the granddaughters-in-law. Instead of living there and watching other people's faces, it's better to live comfortably in your own den.

She has a house of her own. Even if she is born in society, she can find any job and get a salary. She can support herself, so I don't have to worry about her. "

Her parents nodded again, and her mother said, "Can you suggest that they buy a suite in the provincial or county town and put it there to increase the value?"

Xiang Jin said, "I mentioned it to them last time, but I think they still don't seem to be willing, because my two uncles said that they watch TV every day, and that the economic crisis has a great impact, and many people abroad After buying a house, I lost a lot of money in the end, and some people chose to jump off the building because the house could not be sold.

So I'm not going to continue talking. It's fine when the time comes. If it's not good, they still blame me for instigating them and harming them. Anyway, my suggestion is brought. It's their business whether they adopt it or not. After all, there is no blood relationship, so it is not easy for me to continue to participate in that talk and force them to buy it, don't you think? "

Her parents said yes, that's the reason, and then Xiang Jin said, "So, when the time comes, you can just bring them those receipts, and my uncle and grandfather will go to my Liao tomorrow. Auntie's house has wedding wine."

"Okay," her parents nodded, and then the couple asked her grandparents, and how her uncles were doing, and Xiang Jin answered them all one by one.

After peeling the garlic, Xiang Jin took it into the kitchen to make dipping sauce, and her mother asked, "Have you divided up the bread for the employees? If you haven't divided it up for us Packed for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's packed, it's all packed, it's in the cabinet, and I'll take it with me later."

Xiang Jin's mother said, "Then let's take it there. If we happen to have nothing to do, we will go to Grandma Mi and the others to have a look."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

Not long after Xiang Jin and her aunts finished making the dipping sauce, Yan Chen and Ouyang Bo came back in their car. Seeing that both of them got out of the car with empty hands, Xiang Jin said, "No buy it?"

Yan Chen said, "I bought it, and took it directly to grandma and the others."

"Oh," Xiang Jin nodded clearly, and then said to Yan Chen, "There's nothing wrong with the reaction now, why don't we start packing up the things we're going to bring back to the provincial capital?" ?”

Yan Chen said, "Yes!"

So Xiang Jin went to find a few bamboo baskets, and then they packed up together.

Xiang Jin said, "Those bacon and sausages can be picked up and taken away."

"it is good!"

"Do you want to bring the pig's feet, pig's head and pig's ears?" Ouyang Bo asked.

Xiang Jin said, "Take it. If his grandfather doesn't eat it, Uncle Tao and the others can eat it. Uncle Tao usually likes to eat this pig's foot, pig's head meat, and this pig's ear."

Yan Chen said, "My grandfather is not picky about food."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Okay, then bring some."

After they packed the bacon sausages and bacon, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen again, "Hey, what about the mutton? Has the mutton been brought back yet?"

Yan Chen said, "I sent it back and put it in the car."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Is it divided, or is it a whole sheep?"

Yan Chen said, "Well, it's already been divided."

"Who divided it? So capable!"

Yan Chen smiled and said, "My grandfather and your grandfather are separated."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Then their sheep is already in the refrigerator?"

"Well, let it go!"

Xiang Jin put a few pieces of bacon into the box while saying "Oh", and then went to get new ones.

After packing up the bacon, sausages and bacon, Xiang Jin said, "Let's put it here for now, and we'll move it into the car when we leave later."

"can!"

"Oh, by the way, don't forget about the chicken and duck eggs that Aunt Liao gave you?" Xiang Jin followed and reminded.

"Well, good," Yan Chen agreed, and then went to pick up the two baskets of chicken and duck eggs and put them together.

"There are also yams," Ouyang Bo reminded again.

"Oh, yes, and this!" Xiang Jin followed suit and responded, then turned around and wanted to go to the room next door where the yams were piled up to move the yams.

Yan Chen said, "Then you don't want to move, we can go."

Ouyang Bo also said, "Oh, yes, it's heavy, even a bundle is heavy, so don't move it, we can just move it together, we'll put it in the car later."

Xiang Jin thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay, then you go and move, but you can move a little more, and then I will also give some to Secretary Qin, Uncle Duoji, and Uncle Zheng Gang, and their families, oh, and Han Che and his family, let’s move four or five bundles, anyway, Uncle Tao is also driving a pickup truck, so I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to put it down.”

"Okay!" Yan Chen replied again.

Just as Yan Chen and Ouyang Bo went to the next room to carry yams, Xiang Jin also went to pack toast.

When Ouyang Bo saw that she brought out two big bags of toast, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "So many? Don't you want to distribute some to those employees?"

Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, all of them have already distributed. We baked more than 400 breads yesterday, and I divided four of them for each of them, and there were less than [-] for more than forty people.

And there are at most fifty or sixty here, and there are more than 100 and nearly two hundred left, and they will be left to grandparents, parents and the like. "

Ouyang Bo gave her a thumbs up, "It's amazing, it baked so much!"

Xiang Jin said, "I thought it wouldn't be easy to bake once, and they will definitely be busy in the next few days, maybe they won't even have time to eat breakfast, so I baked a little more, and when the time comes they will be busy in the morning." When you get up, you can directly make a glass of milk and eat a few breads, so you don’t have to worry about them being hungry in order to catch up with work.”

Ouyang Bo nodded, "This is true."

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Just put this in the car and put it in the back seat. Anyway, there are only four of us in total, two in the front, two in the back, and there is one seat left in the back. Just right for these two bags of toast."

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!" Then he took out the car key and opened the car, and then put the two bags of bread in Xiang Jin's hand into it.

After Yan Chen went to wash his hands, Xiang Jin pulled her brother aside and whispered to him, "Brother, go to Auntie to get the key, and then help me bring a box of Moutai from the ground up?"

Her brother was surprised, "One box? Why do you want so many?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yan Chen's aunt prefers to drink this wine. It is said that he spent the Spring Festival this year at home. If we meet at that time, he must give him a gift, right?"

After her brother heard this, he nodded immediately, "Oh, good!"

Because there was still a few hundred kilometers to go back to the provincial capital, Xiang Jin and the others didn't stay long after lunch. After saying goodbye to their family, they drove off in the car.

However, before departure, Uncle Tao still took out 200 yuan and handed it to Yan Chen and his grandfather, asking them to bring it to Aunt Liao and the others tomorrow, which can be regarded as a congratulation.

Because it was only the fifth day of the new year, the road back this time was relatively smooth, and there were not many vehicles. In addition, the three male compatriots were driving in rotation, so their speed was much faster than before. Originally planned It is said that they will not arrive in the provincial capital until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but they will arrive at 05:30.

"A Jin, you and your brother will live in the compound of the military region tonight, and I will take you to the house on the side of the First Ring Road to settle down tomorrow morning?" Suddenly, Yan Chen turned to Xiang Xiang Jin and his brother and sister followed the advice.

Xiang Jin said, "It's ok, but the aspect?"

Yan Chen said, "It's convenient, that's what my grandfather meant, he has already asked Aunt Jiang to prepare a room for you, and he said that it will probably be late after dinner, so you don't have to worry about it. "

"Oh, yes!" Xiang Jin agreed.

Ouyang Bo said, "Who are in your family tonight?"

Yan Chen said, "There are no outsiders, just my grandfather, my aunt, and my uncle, and Aunt Jiang and the two orderlies, plus us."

Ouyang Bo said, "Then is your room enough?"

Yan Chen said, "It's enough, my aunt and uncle will go back after dinner, and they won't live at home."

Uncle Tao interjected, "You don't have to worry about that. Xiaochen's house is an independent villa in the courtyard. It consists of two floors, with four rooms on the bottom and six rooms on the top. I, including two The orderly, and Aunt Jiang, we all have our own room at home, so it's just right for the two of you to go there."

Ouyang Bo and Xiang Jin nodded, and then Ouyang Bo asked Yan Chen, "Yan Chen, does your grandfather look very serious and dignified?"

Yan Chen said, "It's okay, I don't think so!"

Uncle Tao smiled and said, "His grandfather is indeed very dignified and serious when he treats his soldiers in the army, but he is absolutely gentle when he treats you juniors, so don't be nervous."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Oh, that's good, that's good!"

Xiang Jin handed a small bag next to it to Uncle Tao, "Uncle Tao, I heard that you like to drink Xinyang Maojian. I brought you some from Shanghai. You can try it."

"Oh, you brought me a gift?" Uncle Tao was immediately surprised.

Xiang Jin said, "Of course, you are our elder. Not only did I bring one for you, I also brought a copy for Aunt Jiang, but I didn't bring those two orderlies because I didn't know them, and I didn't know them. I understand them, but we bring a lot of cured meat and fish, so they can eat our cured meat.

The same goes for you, Uncle Tao, this year we didn’t bring you the cured meat alone, thinking that you used to live in the compound, so you also put the cured meat for you every year at home to eat with everyone. "

Uncle Tao said, "Don't take it, don't take it, I don't cook alone, I usually live in the compound, and I also eat at the house in the compound, what else should I take? I don't need to take anything! But this, Uncle Tao, thank you, huh?"

Xiang Jin said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, I just bought you half a catty, and I'll bring you another when you finish drinking."

Uncle Tao said politely, "No, no, half a catty is enough for me to drink for a year."

Xiang Jin nodded.

The car soon arrived at the military compound of Yan Chen's family. After passing through several checkpoints, their car finally stopped in front of a very unique small western-style building.

Xiang Jin and the others just got out of the car, and then they saw Yan Chen's aunt, Yan Shu, wearing a plaid apron, and quickly came out of the house to greet her.

"Chenchen, you are finally back. Your grandfather has been looking forward to you all afternoon, and girl Jin, Xiaobo, you too, come in and sit down!"

Seeing her face full of enthusiasm and joy, Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo both said to her generously and politely, "Aunt Yan, Happy New Year!"

"Oh, well, well, happy new year, happy new year! Hurry up, please come in and sit down," said Yan Chen and her aunt, who came down from the stairs and went to hold Xiang Jin's hand.

Then Xiang Jin saw the two straight guards standing at the door, and they sneaked curious glances at them from time to time.

Uncle Tao said to the three of them, "You all go in first, I will be in charge of unloading."

A few people nodded, and then they entered the room together. Following Xiang Jin, they heard Uncle Tao calling the orderly to help move things quickly. After hearing Uncle Tao's order, the two orderlies hurriedly said, "Running down to carry things, Xiang Jin heard them sighing there, "Wow, so many things!"

"Come here, girl Jin, Xiaobo, come and sit here," as soon as they entered the house, Yan Chen's aunt Yan Shu hurriedly led them to the living room.

Xiang Jin and the others nodded, and the guest followed her there casually.

At this time, another middle-aged aunt with short hair and an apron, about 40 years old, also came out of the kitchen with a happy face, and looked at Xiang Jin and his brother and sister with enthusiasm. He greeted them politely, "Girl, sit down? And young man, you too?!"

Yan Chen introduced them, "This is Aunt Jiang."

The brothers and sisters called each other politely, "Hello, Aunt Jiang!"

"Hey, okay, okay, the chief told us early in the morning that we will have a distinguished guest at home today, and let us cook early and cook a few more delicious things. Then you guys chat first, and I will continue cooking?"

"Oh, well, Aunt Jiang has worked hard," Xiang Jin said.

Aunt Jiang said, "Unfortunately, it's not hard," she turned and went back to the kitchen.

Yan Chen's aunt poured water for them, "I thought you wouldn't arrive until around eight o'clock, so we started making dinner."

Xiang Jin said, "There aren't many vehicles on the road today, so I drove a little faster."

Her aunt nodded, and Yan Chen asked, "Why don't you see Grandpa, isn't he at home?"

His aunt said, "I'm at home, I'm talking about something with your uncle in the study upstairs."

Yan Chen nodded, and her aunt was startled when she saw the things that Uncle Tao and the others had brought in, "My God, why did you bring so many things back? How can the refrigerator at home be stuffed?"

Yan Chen said, "The bacon is from a whole pig. We brought about a quarter of the pork sausage and mutton sausage."

Yan Chen's aunt asked, "How many catties of sausage have you fed this year?"

Xiang Jin said, "Pork sausages are stuffed with about seventy or eighty catties of meat. The main reason is that my aunt and the others went to pull pork at Aunt Liao's house last time, and then met a pair of grandpas in my yard before on the way. Grandma and the others went to the town to sell meat. My aunt saw their backs were struggling, and their pork was also produced by pure grain-fed pigs, so she bought it directly for them, so almost half of the pig’s meat was brought. It’s stuffed into sausages, and the situation is similar for mutton sausages, and it’s almost a whole head.”

Yan Chen and her aunt nodded, "The advantage of being in the countryside is that you don't have to worry about food. If you want to eat pigs fed with pure grain, you can still find chickens, ducks, and eggs everywhere. It's different like in our city. , The meat and egg products we eat are basically produced by the feed.”

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, yes!"

Yan Chen said, "Our meat and sausages are all produced by pigs and sheep fed pure grain and grass, so you can bring some more when you go back later."

Her aunt laughed and said, "Then I will definitely not be polite. You called me last time and told me not to make bacon, saying that you would bring home-grown pork. But I listened to the truth and didn't even make a piece of bacon." , just wait for your meat to come back and eat.”

Xiang Jin and his brothers and sisters also smiled, and then Xiang Jin said, "Well, we ordered our honest local pork with Aunt Liao at the beginning of last year, and she has always been They feed us with pure grain, not only their pigs, but also their chickens, ducks and geese are also fed with pure grain.”

Yan Chen said, "The chicken and duck eggs in the two baskets over there are native chicken and duck eggs. You should also bring some back when the time comes. Aunt Liao brought them for us."

Her aunt was surprised when she saw the two big baskets of chicken and duck eggs over there, "Why did your Aunt Liao bring you so many eggs? It's too expensive for them, isn't it?"

Yan Chen said, "Their family has hundreds of chickens and ducks, and dozens of geese, so they have to pick up hundreds of eggs every day."

His aunt was stunned, "Are hundreds of them fed pure grain?"

Xiang Jin nodded with Yan Chen, and Xiang Jin said, "Well, there are hundreds of them, and their family only sells native chickens, native ducks, and native eggs, and native duck eggs. She said that people come to buy these native products from her. , you can’t lose your conscience.”

Yan Chen and his aunt nodded, "It seems that your Aunt Liao and Aunt Liao are really kind people?"

Xiang Jin said, "Aunt Liao has always treated people with sincerity and kindness. Not only did she bring you two big baskets of chicken and duck eggs, but she also brought about three or four hundred eggs to my grandparents and great-grandfather Mo. an egg."

Aunt Yan Chen nodded again, "Then she raises so many native chickens, ducks, and native pigs, so she has to spend a lot of food?"

Yan Chen and Xiang Jin nodded again, and Xiang Jin said, "That's true, all the fields of their family are used to grow sweet potatoes and corn, and all the sloping fields of their family are also used to grow pumpkins and winter melons , These grain and vegetable products are fed to those livestock together with some hogweed and wheat bran and rice bran bought outside."

After hearing this, her aunt Yan Chen said, "Your Aunt Liao is really a very capable person."

"Well, that's right, Dad Xiang Min left earlier. At that time, Sister Xiang Qun and Brother Xiang Yang were both in their teens, and then it was all up to my Aunt Liao to provide for them to study and live alone. Later, until I Xiang Qun My sister graduated from the middle school and then got married, and my brother Xiangyang graduated from high school. He didn't want to study anymore and went to the army to join the army.

It stands to reason that her two children don't need her to bear the financial responsibility now, and she should enjoy the happiness, but she still has no intention of stopping, and she still uses herself like a spinning top every day. "

"Whoever orders whom is like a spinning top?" At this moment, a mid-air joke came from the entrance of the corridor, and several people looked at that place in unison, and at the same time Yan Chen also stood up from the sofa, and the brother and sister Xiang Jin got up from the sofa after seeing them, and then they saw two stalwart and resolute figures walking steadily down the stairs step by step. go down.

Both of them were wearing military uniforms, one was middle-aged and the other was old, but neither of them had epaulets showing their ranks in the army. They must have been wearing uniforms for cadres.

The skin on the face of the middle-aged man is a little dark, but it has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and his eyes are particularly bright, just like a pair of stars shining on the black screen. The old man has gray hair, but his complexion is ruddy and his spirit is shining They were extraordinarily full of air, and both of them had warm smiles on their faces.

"Oh, the two of you have finished chatting. Have all our guests arrived?" Just as the old man's voice had just finished speaking, Yan Chen's aunt, Yan Shu, suddenly said jokingly.

The old man nodded and explained, "Well, I know, I know, we heard it from upstairs when their car just drove back, but we were just answering a phone call."

"Grandpa, uncle," Yan Chen called out to them respectfully when they approached.

"Well, not bad!" Both of them nodded at him with a smile. They didn't know what he meant by "not bad", but they both looked at Xiang Jin and his brother and sister. .

Brother and sister Xiang Jin showed no sign of cowardice and nervousness, and let them look at them generously, and then they all took their time and called out modestly and politely, "Hello, Grandpa Yan, hello, Uncle He!"

"Oh, good, good, good boy, sit down, sit down, don't be so polite," Yan Chen's grandfather greeted Xiang Jin with satisfaction after studying Xiang Jin carefully for a while.

Although they asked you to sit down and told you not to be polite, but the brother and sister really just sat down so rudely without anyone else.

Because they all know that a basic etiquette is that when there are elders, they usually sit down after the elders have sat down, so they sat down again after Yan Chen, his grandfather and uncle had sat down.

"Girl Xiang Jin, and Boy Bo, tell you to come back to the provincial capital on the fifth day of the new year. You won't blame me, the old man, will you?" After sitting down, Yan Chen's grandfather looked at the brothers and sisters with a smile on his face and joked. .

Xiang Jin said, "No, Grandpa Yan, you are worrying too much. We stay in our hometown and we stay in the provincial capital. Besides, it's the fifth day of the lunar new year, so it's not too early."

Ouyang Bo said, "That's right. We have a lot of migrant workers who have been catching trains for the past two days."

Yan Chen's aunt laughed and joked, "You Grandpa Yan means that this will affect your reunion with your family."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, our parents and elders can understand, compared with their reunion days and Yan Chen and Grandpa Yan's, then we have much more.

From the time we went back on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month until today, we have all lived with our family members, not to mention the one or two months of summer vacation.

Grandpa Yan, you and Yan Chen are different. You and your grandson get together even fewer days a year. You don’t have much time to get together during summer vacation, and you don’t have much time to get together during winter vacation. I hear Yan Chen It is said that you will only rest at home for three days after you come back this time, and you will have to go back to the army on the eighth day of the eighth day. It is really hard and not easy. "

Ouyang Bo also nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Yan, you soldiers who have dedicated their lives to our country are simply too powerful and amazing.

Others may see your honor and glory, but what I see is your sacrifice and dedication, as well as forbearance.

For the peace and stability of our country, as well as prosperity and strength, you sacrificed the days of long-term reunion with your family members. This kind of gathering and separation for many years is hard to bear without perseverance, so I think you guys are really amazing. "

Yan Chen's grandfather smiled hehe, "You kid can talk," and then glanced at his son-in-law, Yan Chen's uncle also smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

Ouyang Bo said, "I'm not just talking casually, and I don't mean to compliment you soldiers, but to tell the truth."

Weng and son-in-law laughed again, and then Yan Chen's grandfather said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "How about it, are you interested in joining the army after graduating from university?"

Ouyang Bo was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Grandpa Huiyan, although I am in awe and admiration for the profession of a soldier, I don't think I'm qualified to be that soldier, because I'm a petulant person with a relatively small temper." Lively and casual, I am afraid that I am not suitable for the life in the army, and now I am learning to invest and start a small business from my sister and Yan Chen."

Yan Chen's grandfather suddenly laughed again, "It seems that your ambition is to be a big boss in the future?"

Ouyang Bo said, "I don't dare to think about the big boss. This is suitable for Yan Chen and my sister. I just hope that I can be a little rich in the future. It's not good to have too much money. It's easy to worry. I always think about it." It’s good to do something with my money, and it’s not good to have no money. It’s also easy to worry about why my life is so bad?

I just hope that my money can be good enough to meet all the normal living expenses of myself and my family members, and at the same time have a little money, that is, when I and my family members are sick, I can use the money to see a doctor and take medicine. It's good that the money can be taken out! "

Yan Chen's grandfather nodded, "Well, you kid still has a lot of ideas!"

"Grandpa Yan, you've won the award. I only have such a small ambition. Don't you laugh at me?" Ouyang Bo said a little embarrassedly.

Yan Chen's grandfather said, "Oh, no, no, you are very mature in thinking about problems, and you are also very humble in speaking. Grandpa Yan knows that you are a very thoughtful child, and you will be very promising in the future."

Following Yan Chen, his grandfather asked Xiang Jin again, about her life at the school, about their business in Shanghai, and also asked her about the economy of some coastal cities. The development situation, and the impact of the economic crisis on the lives of residents in coastal cities.

Xiang Jin answered one by one, and finally the old man asked her and Ouyang Bo about their parents and grandparents in their hometown, and both of them answered one by one.
