Aunt Chen hung up the phone, and Chen Wanda was still surprised, "You're looking for that girl Xiaolan, are you nervous about talking?"
Mrs. Chen couldn't explain it herself: "I just couldn't help being nervous when I heard the other person talking."
It was a middle-aged male voice, and he spoke very politely. Mrs. Chen just couldn't help being nervous. She couldn't control herself at all, and her attitude when talking to the other party was more serious than talking to her father-in-law Chen Wanda.
"Then go tell Xiaolan and ask her to call someone back. Maybe there is something urgent."
Finally, something interrupted Chen Wanda's chanting, and Mrs. Chen naturally slipped away faster than a rabbit. Stepping on the snow to the door of Xia Xiaolan's house, I happened to meet Grandma Yu.
This old lady is the landlord of Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter in Shangdu. Mrs. Chen just thinks that the old lady is dignified.
Grandma Yu still remembered Mrs. Chen, so she stopped her: "Are you here to tell Ah Fen about your marriage again?"
Aunt Chen blushed, "No, Pengcheng called and asked for Xiaolan, I'll call her."
"Wait, who is calling from Pengcheng?"
"Just said the surname is Tang."
Grandma Yu grabbed Mrs. Chen, "This man is looking for me, let's go, I'll call him back."
Looking for this old lady?
Mrs. Chen was suspicious, but what the other party said on the phone was also vague. She was asking if Xia Xiaolan had returned to her hometown for the New Year. Could it be that she wanted to ask if the old lady of the landlady came with her?
Aunt Chen couldn't say anything more than grandma, so she was diverted to pay attention by saying a few words, slipping in the snow, Grandma Yu held Sister Chen's hand tightly and followed Sister Chen back to the village committee. In a few words, Mrs. Chen's family was cleaned up by Grandma Yu. She knew that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief. Her son used to be a classmate with Xiaolan, and now he is also in college in Beijing. He didn't go home this winter vacation.
Oh, it's Chen Qing that Liu Fen said.
Sister-in-law Chen also wanted to inquire about Xia Xiaolan's partner in turn, but Grandma Yu immediately understood that the son of the Chen family had taken a fancy to Xiaolan? It's not good to look down on, it's not that Grandma Yu looks down on young people from the countryside, but Grandma Yu looks down on Mrs. Chen.
Half an hour later, the phone call came again. Grandma Yu picked it up, stared at Mrs. Chen after saying a word.
Nowadays, people don¡¯t have much right to privacy. Sometimes when a relative calls, the whole village can¡¯t wait to listen. Mrs. Chen has no self-consciousness, and Grandma Yu has always been outspoken:
"Sorry, I have something personal to say."
Grandma Yu looked at her with a pair of eyes, and Mrs. Chen realized what Grandma Yu meant after a while. She hadn't been said that before, her face was very hot, and she walked out in a hurry.
Grandma Yu muttered and talked on the phone for several minutes, and Mrs. Chen gave a secret peo, thinking that she was an important person, and she kept talking on the phone in a mysterious way. But when grandma hung up the phone and came out, Mrs. Chen unconsciously squeezed out a smile.
Grandma Yu doesn't look down on such people. She watches people order dishes. If she wasn't from the city, would Mrs. Chen treat her like this?
"Thank you, I don't want to disturb you when it's Chinese New Year, come to my house early tomorrow for dinner."
Sister-in-law Chen wanted to help her go back, but Grandma Yu put it off again and again. She found a wooden stick and walked back slowly with a pestle. Although she is old, her back is still straight, and she walks with a special temperament.
Aunt Chen put away the smile on her face, "Bah, what's the big deal, why don't you come to the country to celebrate the New Year."
Not everyone in the city has power and money, and Xia Xiaolan is not the only one who is a college student, and so is her son. In a few years, her family, Chen Qing, will be promising after graduating from university, and he can still be a townsman!
"Grandma Yu, where have you been?"
Grandma Yu's pair of cotton leather shoes are wet. The shoes were bought by Xia Xiaolan in Pengcheng. They are leather on the outside and thick fur on the inside. After stepping on the snow in winter, just wipe the outside with a handkerchief to keep your feet from freezing.
"I walked around the village."
Since grandma didn't mention the phone call at all, Xia Xiaolan couldn't think of going there either. The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve needs to be prepared one day in advance. Xia Xiaolan's house has a spacious yard and is also a new house. It is agreed that this year's reunion dinner will be held at her home.
Liu Yong originally planned to build a house, but was disgusted by Tian's family, and his obsession with returning to his hometown became less obsessed, and he didn't mention building a house in the countryside.
To prepare meals for several tables of people, cook the chicken one day in advance, fry the fish and meatballs, and all kinds of vegetables, which should be peeled and cut into pieces.
Grandma Yu looked at the prepared things, "Don't braise the mutton together, save half of it for a stew. Ah Fen is good at cooking, so you can stew it."
Liu Yong bought two hanging mutton legs in the county town, and he agreed to use braised ones, but Grandma Yu suddenly said that she wanted to drink mutton soup.
Liu Fen had a good temper, so she took off her apron and went back to work, turning up the stove, chopping up half a leg of lamb to make soup.
It's nothing for the old lady to want to eat some mutton. Diabetics usually eat less sugary and starchy foods. Lamb has no effect on blood sugar. Liu Fen doesn't put potatoes, just stewed mutton in clear soup.
Xia Xiaolan felt a little strange, it was the first time Grandma Yu gave her whatever she wanted to eat, so she really didn't treat them as outsiders?
Liu Fen made up her mind not to go out, and hurried back to the provincial capital after visiting her parents' graves after the Chinese New Year, which made Tian's family toss and turn and couldn't sleep. The Tian family was choked up by Xia Xiaolan's few words, and the rural people are still more taboo to talk about auspiciousness during the New Year. Xia Xiaolan opened her mouth and said that the Tian family was dead, and the more the Tian family thought about it, the more angry they became.
Liu Yong invited the family dinner, but not the Tian family.
The village also said that Liu Yong wanted to hire someone to work as a mason, and he was paid 10 yuan a day.
"I will come to ask tomorrow. They are all from the same village. Why don't you invite me?"
Tian Laosan drank a few ounces of cat urine, and then became drunk again.
"That's right, I don't look down on the third child of our family. Send the third child to work in the head office? It's two to three hundred yuan a month, which is a lot of income. The third child needs this salary. What are sisters and brothers Xiaoyan?"
Tian Laosan felt that this was too reasonable.
Like him before, Liu Yong was idle and not doing serious things.
Why does Liu Yong say that if he gets rich, he will get rich, but he has to suffer in poverty in the village?
If the Liu family does not agree to marry him, Liu Yong will bleed some blood and spend some money every month to raise him, or he will linger on the Liu family and won't let him go!
Tian Laosan called his daughter Tian Xiaoyan over while hiccupping. Tian Xiaoyan's shoulders were shaking.
Tian Laosan showed a rare smiling face and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol:
"Xiaoyan, dad won't beat you, dad won't beat you and your brother in the future, I'll buy you new clothes, let you eat meat, send you to school as long as your dad has money, you can do whatever you want Okay, you can kneel at the door of Liu's house tomorrow and ask Uncle Yong to promise Dad to go to work, and when he promises you, you can get up."
Tian Xiaoyan was educated by Xia Xiaolan. In front of so many people, Xia Xiaolan didn't agree to have her and her younger brother. Can Uncle Yong agree to her request?
"Dad, what if Uncle Yong refuses?"
"Then you will kneel and die in front of his house!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
