Chapter 453: The Taste of Hometown
Long before Jolene went home, Min Jia saw her photo, which Jolene took the initiative to send her. Jolene also told that this photo cannot be uploaded on the Internet without permission, but several official media have posted photos that they can forward.
Min Jia, who saw the photo, was also so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and she didn't believe that there was such a powerful person in her family, and she could take a photo with a big person who couldn't even think of it. She really wanted to show off on Moments, but she was afraid of causing trouble to her cousin, so she had to resist the impulse.
The sister-in-law was also so proud that he stored the photos in his mobile phone and showed off when he met people. People also praised him, saying that their family members are amazing. When the sister-in-law is happy, it is easy to drink too much.
Although my aunt also thinks Qiao Lin is very powerful, she still doesn't admit it: "Our Min Rou has also taken photos with many big names, and I haven't seen you show off so much." ”
"The people who took photos with Min Rou are all big musicians, except for one or two very well-known pianists in China, who knows them? But Jolene is different! Which Chinese don't know? How many people in the world don't know? People Jolene, very good!"
My aunt was very depressed: "When she was a child, she was like a fighting, and when she was a little dissatisfied, she quarreled with me. Now it's okay, she listens to everything I say. I think she is less and less interested in me as an aunt, and she doesn't bother to quarrel with me. ”
The sister-in-law laughed: "You are fifty years old, and you are still scheming with a child." He also said that people, first look at yourself to see if you have grown up!"
In fact, Qiao Lin didn't take her aunt in her eyes, she was too lazy to argue, on the one hand, because she was always worried about her boyfriend, on the other hand, she was indeed grown up and matured, where could she be a high-spirited fighting for the rest of her life?
After she got the group photo, her sister also jokingly asked her: "Do you feel that your life has reached the peak?
"It's okay! Now that I've reached the top, it means that I've met very powerful people. The more powerful the person, the less inconspicuous the mountain dew, just like ordinary people. ”
"It's amazing, Qiao Lin has really grown into a martial arts master!"
Jolene smiled shyly, she wasn't really a master, at most she was a lucky one!
In the silence of the night, Old Joe stood alone in the store, and he often took a sip or two, looking at the photo and smirking. Who would have thought that the youngest daughter, who has the most mediocre talent, is now living the most beautiful life.
As for the son, if he could publicly award the award back then, maybe there would be such a precious photo. However, there is no "if" in this world. To get that medal alive was enough for him to thank God.
It was cold and windy outside, often mixed with snowflakes, and Lao Qiao was drinking a little wine comfortably in the warm spring-like room, and from time to time throwing a piece of sausage to Yuanbao, there was really no more comfortable moment than this. However, it would be nice if Lao Dong was here, with an old friend by his side, talking about his heart around the fire, this winter night would be even more perfect.
The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao's family was busy early in the morning, that night was an out-and-out feast, the little sister-in-law's family, uncle's family, and aunt's family, must be divided into two tables to do, just cooking has to be busy all day.
My aunt has a good handiwork,
Qiao Lin had known this for a long time, but Li Lanzhi had not tasted it yet. My aunt said that in the years when she went to Germany, what she wanted to eat most was pork jelly from her hometown, as well as fried radish balls.
In the early years, life was difficult, and these two dishes could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and they could not be eaten as much as they wanted, at most they were just to satisfy their cravings. Decades have passed, and these two dishes are no longer uncommon, as long as you want to eat, you can make them at any time, and they are veritable home-cooked dishes for Hong Kong people.
The three children of the Qiao family are floating in a foreign land, and they usually want to eat those things, but they can more or less make their own food, so what they want to eat is mackerel dumplings. It seems that after leaving the port city, you will never find the delicious taste of mackerel again.
My aunt fried the radish balls, fed one to Qiao Lin first, and said with a smile: "When I left Hong Kong City, I never tasted mackerel dumplings." It is also blessed that your generation can eat it often. However, I didn't eat it at that time, but it became a good thing, otherwise how would I make dumplings in Germany?"
My aunt's words made everyone laugh, and it seems that the taste of my hometown will change over time. The difficulty of mackerel dumplings is that it is difficult to adjust the filling, and if the technology is not enough, it can only be mixed into a cloudy soup overnight, and only Lao Qiao is sure to do it well in the entire Qiao family. In the afternoon, he adjusted the stuffing and went out, and sighed before leaving-this year's New Year, Qiao Nan can't eat again.
He finished the stuffing and left, and his family thought that this rough man was going to be sentimental again and found a place to hide, so no one went to look for him, so Li Lanzhi teased him a few words. However, it wasn't until before the meal was served that Lao Qiao went home with his old friend, Lao Dong.
Qiao Lin hadn't seen Uncle Dong for a long time, he was so thin that his eye sockets were sunken. It can be seen that he still wants to be energetic, but he can't do it, if it weren't for Lao Qiao's support, he wouldn't be able to stand steadily.
His arrival led to a brief cold scene, but Yuan Bao seemed to hear his master returning, and shouted happily next door. Lao Qiao explained: "Today, there are many people in the family, and there are several children, I am afraid that the ingots will scare them, so I will send it back first, and I will pick it up later." ”
"It's okay, I told you, throw away the leftovers for it every day, don't starve it to death, you still take it to the house......"
Lao Qiao smiled: "Then I also grew up watching the ingot, where can I leave it alone at home?—— I put some food on it, let's eat it first, and then take care of it after eating!"
Although it was very unexpected, everyone still expressed a great welcome to Lao Dong's arrival and let him sit at the adult table. Only Li Lanzhi secretly twisted Lao Qiao's thigh and motioned him to go to the kitchen.
Lao Qiao obediently followed, there were only the two of them in the kitchen, Li Lanzhi's face changed, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Get a heart attack and high blood pressure out of the hospital? If he is excited and something happens to him during the New Year, what will you do? You will have a disturbed conscience for the rest of your life!"
"Without the doctor's permission, how could I take him out? He is quite stable now, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take risks!" Lao Qiao said: "The hospital is empty for the Chinese New Year, don't you know what it's like to spend the New Year in the hospital?
”
Hearing this, Li Lanzhi couldn't say anything anymore, so she could only pray that something would not go wrong.
The little sister-in-law took the lead, and everyone drank the first glass of wine, and Nuo Xiaosheng asked in a low voice, "Who is he? Not a relative, right?"
The translator next to him this time was Min Jia's son-in-law who was sitting at the table of "adults", that is, Dr. Yan. Dr. Yan replied truthfully: "He is not a relative, but he is almost like a relative." What's more, he was the father of a martyr, so everyone took good care of him. In the past, many people got together for him for the New Year. ”
Mr. Nuo obviously doesn't understand this kind of human relationship, because his son is dead, so the neighbors on this street are very kind to him?, the most important holiday for Chinese, should also be spent with him?
These favors are really hard to understand!
Min Jia's two babies were sleepy at nine o'clock, and the Qiao sisters helped her send the children home. On the way home, snowflakes fell in the sky. Qiao Lin suddenly wanted to send a message to Sun Ruiyang and say "Happy New Year" to him.
She took out her mobile phone and saw dozens of unread messages, probably all of which were the same group New Year's greeting messages, right? But as soon as she opened WeChat, Qiao Lin was stunned, and there were more than a dozen of her top messages!
Her top is none other than Sun Ruiyang. He sent a dozen messages in one go, which basically means that he had completed most of the work after a long journey. But he still had to write a thesis, so he stayed in Beijing and didn't go home. His parents have already arrived in Beijing to celebrate the Spring Festival with him.
"Jolene, I know you're angry with me, you can hit me as much as you want. But I'm going to tell you, you're the only one who has sustained me so far. God knows how much I miss you, how much I want to kiss you on the cheek on Chinese New Year's Eve and talk to you ten thousand times. But not yet, my battle is not over yet, it should be said that it has just begun. I must go to see you in dignity when I am done. ”
Jolene sat on a bench on the side of the road, feeling her tears freeze. She sent a WeChat message with her red fingers: "Then you won't go anywhere else, will you?"
"No, you can see me when you go back to Beijing. No, I'll take the initiative to go to you and tell you everything that's happened these days. ”
"What if I listened to it now?"
"My parents and baby are around, I'll tell you when it's convenient. Jolene, I've received all the messages you sent me, you've grown up, I'm proud of you, there's no better girl than you. ”
Before freezing, Jolene decides to go home. These days, she felt relaxed for the first time in a long time, and even unconsciously turned into a fur dog pose again. Maybe she was tired for too long, but despite the fireworks outside the window, she slept soundly.
Early the next morning, my parents got up and prepared to welcome the guests who came to pay their respects. A sound of slamming the door woke Qiao Lin up, it was only six o'clock, who would be so early? Could it be that Sun Xiucai came back?
Jolene jumped off the top bunk vigorously, didn't bother to wash her face, didn't bother to change out of her fluffy bear pajamas, and opened the door in front of her parents.
However, when she saw the person standing outside, she couldn't help but be disappointed, and forced a smile: "It's you." ”
