On the first night back home, Cao Xuan slept very soundly, and didn't wake up until almost 10 o'clock.
Dad Cao Shuangguo has already gone out to work. Cao Shuangguo's main business is a farmer. When there is not much farm work in winter, he works part-time as a scrub master in the town's bathhouse.
? As the Spring Festival approaches, it is the peak period of the bathing business. Even if his son Cao Xuan came back, he did not stop Comrade Cao from making money.
However, Cao Shuangguo also said, see if he can find a substitute in the afternoon and come back to make spicy chicken for Cao Xuan.
?That's right, apart from taking a bath, Comrade Cao has also learned to cook, but his craftsmanship is a bit trendy, and it is limited better than ordinary people, and it cannot reach the level of professional chefs.
However, Cao Xuan has been used to snacks since he was a child, and his father's favorite dishes are his favorite, especially spicy chicken and braised eggplant.
Sun Lan made bread dumplings at home, and Cao Shuangguo went to the market to buy meat in the morning.
In the past, the dumplings made by Cao Xuan¡¯s family were mostly filled with leeks, and the meat fillings were also half meat and half vegetarian mixed with celery and radish.
And this time when her son came back, Sun Lan, who has always been frugal, was generous for a rare time, and directly made pure meat stuffing, and she also said that she would buy some beef in two days and make beef stuffed dumplings for Cao Xuan to try.
Cao Xuan is free, so he helps his mother. He is not very good at rolling, but the bag is fine. Maybe his appearance is average, but his family can eat it without any harm.
The mother and son had a rare warm moment, and Sun Lan finally couldn't help asking the question she wanted to ask yesterday.
"Son, are you dating in the capital?"
Cao Xuan was helpless: "Mom, I'm only 22."
"22 is not too small."
It is obviously not the first time for Sun Lan to think about this matter. Seeing Cao Xuan talking about age, she immediately cited a series of examples.
"The little student at the head of the village is the one who hung out with you when you were young. He is three years younger than you, and his baby is full moon this year.
There is also your classmate Liu Peng, your father met him two days ago, he got married on New Year's Day, and his wife is three months pregnant. "
"The time is not right, is it his?"
Cao Xuan counted with his fingers and found a blind spot. Sun Lan was so angry that he cursed.
"Don't talk nonsense, people can't get pregnant first and then get married, young people nowadays are messing around."
"So, it's such a mess outside, I have to look for it, or your son will be the one to lose."
Cao Xuan saw every stitch to buy time for himself, Sun Lan gave him a glare, and his tone softened a bit.
The matter of finding a partner really cannot be ambiguous, what if you marry a troublemaker and make a fuss.
Do you remember that Da Zhuang who was in the second grade of you, his wife ran away with someone when he went to work in the city the year before last, and then the man didn't want her, and ran back to find Da Zhuang, making trouble in the village every day, Da Zhuang was so fucking fast Was pissed off. "
"Really, I remember the big and strong daughter-in-law, is it the one who is white and a little fat?"
Cao Xuan came to the spirit, gossip is not only exclusive to celebrities, parents in the city and the countryside are short-sighted, so it has a special taste.
Many people say they hate the seven aunts and eight aunts who gossip about their wives everywhere, but if there is really gossip, as long as it is not about their own family, most people will happily follow it.
The old double standard
?Since Cao Xuan became famous, Sun Lan is considered number one among the old women in Caoguanzhuang, holding a lot of food, Cao Xuan listened to it as a pleasure.
Until then, he finally knew why "Cao Xuan" became a well-known paparazzi in the entertainment industry.
Such genes are inherited in the bones!
The two women chatted until noon, when the dumplings were about to be put into the pot, Cao Shuangguo came back with his bicycle, and there were large and small bags of vegetables and meat in the basket.
The family ate dumplings at noon, and in the afternoon, Comrade Cao took care of the ingredients.
In the evening, Cao Xuan called the uncle and uncle to have dinner together, which was a formal welcome for Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan's grandparents passed away in the early 1990s, leaving three brothers Cao Shuangguo. He is the second eldest. The eldest brother is Cao Daguo, and the younger brother is Cao Xiaoguo.
In fact, Cao Xuan¡¯s grandparents not only had three sons, it is said that Cao Shuangguo also had two older brothers and one older sister, but they all died because of the war before liberation.
The old man specially added a country to the names of the three sons, just to thank the establishment of the new China, which turned the old Cao family from a ghost into a human.
Uncle Cao Xuan, Cao Daguo, was born in the army. He had been on the battlefield in the 1960s, and had made second-class meritorious service.
After being demobilized and returning home, he married his aunt Xu Ying and gave birth to three daughters, Cao Xuan's first cousin Cao Wei, second cousin Cao Jiao, and cousin Cao Ni.
In this age when patriarchal values ??are popularized.?, although Cao Daguo also wanted a son, he was not stubborn.
There is a family in Caoguanzhuang who has eight daughters and insists on having a son.
When Cao Daguo saw that the country implemented family planning, he immediately responded to the call and raised three daughters with peace of mind.
The three daughters he raised are indeed the pride of the old Cao family.
The eldest daughter has a bachelor's degree and is now a middle school teacher. The second daughter has a bachelor's degree and works as a doctor in a city hospital. The youngest daughter was admitted to Fuda, a key university last year.
Compared with them, Cao Xuan, who graduated from high school, is like a scumbag.
Cao Daguo and his wife had no son, so they regarded Cao Xuan, their own nephew, as their son and loved him since childhood.
Cao Xuan's younger uncle, Cao Xiaoguo, is the most intelligent of the three brothers of the Cao family.
At the end of the 1980s, I went to sea to do business. Although I didn't make much money, I was just a small contractor, but I was one of the richer families in the village.
Cao Xiaoguo and his aunt Huang Jingjing have twin sons, the older one is Cao Bao and the younger one is Cao Bei, and they are now in junior high school.
These two are also Cao Xuan's little followers. When Cao Xuan went to the capital, the brothers were reluctant to let him go, and even hugged Cao Xuan's thigh and cried.
The three brothers of the Cao family are quite different in age, and their fortunes and developments are also different, but they have a good relationship, and the sisters-in-law get along well with each other, and the three families have close contacts.
Both families were overjoyed when they learned that Cao Xuan was back.
Especially the younger ones, the cousin Cao Ni dragged Cao Xuan to inquire about Li Yapeng.
After she watched "Love to the End", she became a fan of Li Yapeng.
It has to be said that Li Yapeng has long flowing hair at this time, and is sunny and handsome. He is very catching the hearts of young literary and artistic women, otherwise he would not have won many goddesses in the circle.
Cao Xuan doesn't want to interfere with whether the cousin is chasing stars or not.
However, he and Li Yapeng had a disagreement at first, and the other party was not happy to see him, so he didn't like seeing each other very much.
So, Cao Xuan inadvertently revealed to his cousin that a certain person got a job by relying on Qia Ruan, and flirted with many actresses while filming.
Seeing Cao Ni's face of despair as her idol collapsed, Cao Xuan smiled slightly, hiding her achievements and fame.
The two little cousins ??didn't have any idols to chase after, they just secretly asked Cao Xuan what it was like to kiss Pan Jinlian.
For this kind of brat with youthful hormones bursting out, Cao Xuan casually said a few words, and then sold them to his uncle and aunt.
If you don't study hard and think about these things every day, you should clean up well
That night, Cao Xuan made another exception and had a drink with the three brothers Cao Daguo.
Dad Cao Shuangguo was the worst drinker, and he was the first to quit the battle. He hugged a pillow and groaned for a while, then fell asleep lying on the table.
Cao Daguo is in the middle, and he likes to preach when he drinks too much, but fortunately he doesn't like to pause to ask questions, and he just needs to talk about it occasionally.
Cao Xiaoguo is in business, has been in the wine market for a long time, has the best capacity for alcohol, and plays the wildest when he drinks too much. He clamors for a treat by himself, and takes his two brothers and his eldest nephew for a cool tour.
Don't say that my aunt's eyes are burning, but the eyes of the aunt and Sun Lan are not right when they look at him.
Cao Xuan reckoned that the three young uncles would not even think about it when they go home today
I don't know if he was too happy to go home. Cao Xuan was in a state of being in a state today, forcefully pouring down the three elders, but he still remained awake.
Helped the aunt and aunt to carry the uncle and uncle back to their own home, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep after returning home.
The next day, when Cao Xuan woke up with a slight headache, he found that his house was packed with people from the village.
After yesterday, the news of his return was completely spread in Cao Guanzhuang. Everyone wanted to see the real version of Ximen Qing.
Fortunately for Cao Xuan, no one in his hometown wanted to give him a sack, and the treatment was not a bit better than Li Xuejian.
What troubled Cao Xuan was that, like his two cousins, everyone was very curious about how he and Pan Jinlian would film.
In addition, there are also big girls and old women who cast eager eyes on Cao Xuan.
Don't get me wrong, the former is greedy for Cao Xuan's body, while the latter wants Cao Xuan to be his son-in-law.
It's a pity that Cao Xuan has two subordinates in his heart, so I can only say sorry to everyone ?
