After eating, they continued on the road, this time, without outsiders entangled, Qin Mutong and his party finally arrived at the provincial capital easily and smoothly.

Before coming to the provincial capital, Zheng Fangyi specially asked the old lady's opinion. After making sure that the old lady had no problem with the villa she had stayed in the previous summer, they moved in this time anyway.

However, Zheng Fangyi had already said hello to the doorman, and he would definitely not let Zhuo Wenya in again, so he was not afraid that the old lady would see someone she didn't want to see at home.

"Tong Tong, old lady, you are back. Zhang's mother got the news early in the morning and waited at home, "I haven't seen you for half a year, Tong Tong is beautiful again, and the old lady is getting younger and younger!"

Even if the old lady sat in the car for several hours, she was too tired to move, but at this moment, she was still amused by Zhang's mother's words: "Xiao Zhang, you too, your spirit is better than before, and this speech is getting better and better!"

"Isn't this coming soon, and I'm also getting in the joy of the New Year. Zhang's mother smiled in response to the old lady's words, and helped to carry the luggage, which was very neat before and after.

In the past six months, although Qin Mutong and the old lady are not in the provincial capital, Zheng Fangyi will occasionally come back to live. In addition, Zhang's mother comes to clean regularly, so the house looks very clean and tidy, and the heating is turned on early, which doesn't look like no one has lived for a long time.

Not only that, Zhang's mother also prepared dinner and could start at any time.

And considering that everyone comes from a long distance, the meals prepared by Zhang's mother are relatively easy to digest, and the taste is also light, so that people will not feel so tired that they can't eat it at a glance.

Sure enough, in the evening, the old lady drank a bowl of porridge and ate some vegetables, but she couldn't eat anymore, and then washed and slept with the help of Zhang's mother.

Qin Mutong looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, there is Zhang's mother at home." Otherwise, it's going to be a toss tonight. ”

Zheng Fangyi said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that Mama Zhang is indeed a capable person, can I keep people until now?" By the way, I have already told Mama Zhang that this year's New Year, buying New Year's goods, cooking Chinese New Year's Eve and so on, will be handed over to Mama Zhang." You talk to your grandmother tomorrow, so that your grandmother doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters. ”

Qin Mutong nodded and said, "That's okay, my milk is old, and so much work is pressed down at once, I'm afraid that my milk won't be able to bear it." ”

Zheng Fangyi touched her head: "I should be busy for a few days during this time, and I don't have time to accompany you for the time being." After a few busy days, I'll take you out with your milk for a good spin. The provincial capital is still very lively during the New Year, and I heard that there is also a fireworks display. If you and your grandmother are interested, we will come there early and take a good position. ”

Qin Mutong waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, if you have something to do, you can be busy, I'll just take the milk out for a spin." By the way, has Zhang's mother been at our house all this time? If so, I will call Zhang's mother again at that time, and even the tour guide will be available by the way, so you don't have to worry. ”

Zheng Fangyi said helplessly: "Mother Zhang will come over every day during this time, if you have anything to use her, just tell her directly." Still, I'd love to go out with you!"

Qin Mutong smiled and grimaced at him: "The provincial city is so big, we can't finish shopping in three or two days." When you're done, you can go anywhere else with us!"

Zheng Fangyi thought about it, so he had to accept his fate and said, "Okay." In order to catch up with you and my grandmother, I will try to hurry up and finish all the business at hand as soon as possible. ”

Qin Mutong laughed happily.

The next day, Zheng Fangyi really went out to work early, and Qin Mutong was in no hurry to pull the old lady out for a stroll.

The main reason is that she is worried that the old lady's body has not yet recovered, and she thinks that it is better for the old lady to rest more at home first.

But the old lady is an idle person after all.

In addition, her old man has also been in good health in the past two years, so although she sat in the car for a day yesterday, after a night's rest, the old lady was already refreshed when she got up, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

After this recovery, the old lady pulled Zhang's mother to clean up the cured meat they brought from their hometown.

Zhang's mother had already hung the cured meat on the balcony outside the kitchen yesterday, and there was an iron railing outside the balcony, but she was not afraid that someone would sneak in in the middle of the night and steal the cured meat.

Although almost all of the villas in this area are old, the people who live here are either rich or expensive, and people don't look down on this bit of cured meat at all. But this is the New Year, there are a lot more thieves on the side of the road than before, and there are also a lot of thieves who break into other people's homes in the middle of the night to touch things, so you have to guard against it!

"Old lady, these bacon sausages are really well smoked, and you can see that you have worked hard!" Zhang's mother praised while cleaning up her things, "In the first two years, we also smoked bacon ourselves. However, later the city planning said that smoking bacon would affect the appearance of the city or something, and it was easy to cause fires, so we were not allowed to smoke it ourselves. Now if we want to eat bacon, we have to ask someone to smoke it in the suburbs, or buy it directly from others. Let's not talk about this effort, it's also very expensive! The bacon that I got by someone is not authentic to eat, and the taste is always a little worse, and it can really be angry to death!"

In fact, now you can smoke bacon by yourself in the city, but it is a place dedicated to smoking bacon, and you have to prepare your own materials, which is particularly cumbersome to operate, so many people simply don't get it, buy it directly, or ask someone to bring it from the countryside to the city.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll bring bacon from my hometown every year in the future, and I'm not afraid that I won't have anything to eat when the time comes!"

Zhang's mother also smiled: "Then I am really stained with your old man's light!"

The two of them talked about it, and the old lady simply said: "Today, let's cook a piece of bacon to taste it first, and then cook two sausages and a piece of pork liver." Tong Tong loves to eat these things!"

Qin Mutong doesn't like to eat bacon, and thinks that bacon is fat and greasy. However, she likes to eat sausages and offal, and she can even eat them as snacks when she doesn't eat.

The old lady was used to her, so she got more smoked sausages and offal this year.

Zhang's mother responded with a smile.

Qin Mutong saw that the two of them were chatting and working at the same time, as if they were still very happy, so he didn't mention taking the old lady out.

Anyway, the reason why she wanted to take the old lady out was originally to make the old lady happy. Now that the old lady can be so happy when she stays at home, then it is naturally not important if she can't go out.

But the old lady and Zhang's mother just stayed at home for a day.

The next day, the two of them were going out to prepare for the New Year's goods.
