Liu Jianmin has never done physical work, he is a scientific research worker, using his brain, let him try to fry tea with Chen Xin at this time, but before Chen Xin did it well, his lame appearance made his parents so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Zhang Zhang also made a fuss about roasting tea, but his little man was not as tall as the stove, so he watched it for a while, and ran to Grandpa Liu, and wanted to learn to pick up tea again.

Not to mention, Zhang Zhang's little fat man is very serious. Aunt Zhang filled him with some small bamboo baskets and asked him to sit on a small bench to pick them up, he really sat down and quietly picked up all the tea leaves in a bamboo basket, and Aunt Zhang was surprised when she checked it.

"Hey, this little thing is very good, my grandson doesn't have the patience to do this, every time he comes to help pick up tea, he always has to let his mother pick it up a second time. ”

Zhang Zhang was praised, and he looked up with a little chubby face so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

Here, Chen Xin followed Uncle Zhang to try to fry a pot of tea, and after half an hour, her hands couldn't be lifted.

"It's still early. You only have a lot of tea, and you haven't learned how to raise tea, and you won't even be able to hold a bowl in a day or two. It's too late to give up. ”

"No, it's muscle fatigue, I'll be fine after this time, I'll have to get used to it. Chen Xin is also stubborn, since she begged Uncle Zhang to learn, she will definitely not give up halfway. If you don't have enough strength, then exercise, and one day she will be able to finish a pot of tea smoothly.

Originally, she only planned to stay in the mountains for about ten days, but because of the roasted tea, she decided to stay for a while longer, and wait for the roasted tea season to pass before returning to the city.

And the same idea as her is the old couple of the Liu family, the two of them may not go up the mountain every day to talk to Aunt Zhang, but go around, sometimes go to the river pond with the old cadres to fish, sometimes follow the blind date to the market. Two days ago, the two elders also participated in a two-day tour, going to the back mountain and a little behind the mountain to soak in the hot springs.

After playing for so many weeks, Grandma Liu's mental state has returned to when there was no accident before.

"That Uncle Yuan in front, you know, right? It's the old Red Army and the old revolutionary. Isn't there four sons in his family, and he was also in trouble earlier, but then he simply divided the property directly, and everyone had it, and then his retirement salary was used to hire a nanny, and he also participated in various tourism and recuperation activities organized by the military region and the community every year. In the summer, he would come to stay in the sanatorium, and his grandchildren would come and stay with him for a while. I see that he is having a good time. ”

"Originally, children have children's lives, and you have been worried about them for decades, do you have to worry about them for a lifetime? When children are in difficulty, you can help them, and don't give them more trouble, so that there is no chance of conflict, and naturally it will not hurt the feelings between family members. ”

Chen Xin herself has no parents, and she can't fully understand the thoughts of the elderly, but she looks at those issues from the perspective of a bystander, and generally gives advice that is more appropriate. It's just that if it's not about herself, it's messy, if she really wants to put this happening to her, she is actually not sure that she can do everything well.

"That's right, so I discussed with the old man, and when we go back this time, we will make an appointment with our old friends, and find a place to live for a month or two in the winter. Come back before the Chinese New Year. ”

"Let's go to the south, I heard that Hainan is good some time ago, and there is a place to build a pension for the winter. But this is still only a concept, and I don't know what the specific conditions are. ”

"Hainan. Grandma Liu stopped pinching the vegetables and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard people talk about it, but it's not your pension, it seems to mean that they bought a house over there, and when the weather is cold, they go to live for three or four months." But I don't think it's realistic, the New Year, you still have to call it the New Year in your own home. ”

Chen Xin did not refute that for the current elderly, spending the winter in a different place has not yet become a trend, and their biggest expectation is that the family can be reunited during the New Year, so it will not work to let them go out for the New Year.

Chen Xin wanted to go to Hainan for the New Year, but this year she told the Zhang family that she had to go back for the New Year. And last time the second sister called to say that her brother and Yan Chunhua had already established a relationship, if there was no big accident, they should have a marriage during the Spring Festival.

For this, she must go to Zhang's house for the New Year, and she has to go over in advance to see if she can help a little. She didn't understand the process of running a marriage in the countryside at all, and the current Internet has not reached this level, so she asked casually when she was learning to rub tea with Aunt Zhang.

"Every place is different, and the process of getting married here is similar to that in the city, except that there is an additional procedure for sending relatives to the table. ”

The so-called sending relatives to set up a banquet is actually similar to showing a dowry in ancient times, and it is also a time for relatives to add makeup. However, the current makeup is generally not a physical object, most of them are given red envelopes, and those who are closer to each other will be given gold jewelry.

But the gold jewelry here is not an exaggeration, and most people give a gold ring and gold earrings what it means, listening to Aunt Zhang talk about her sister-in-law marrying her granddaughter, the scene is very popular, the gold bracelets are strung up and hung around the neck, and she estimates that there are more than a dozen catties of that string. There are also gold rings, gold earrings, and gold necklaces, anyway, the whole body is red and golden.

"At that time, I went, because I didn't prepare so much, so I gave a bunch of gold earrings, and my sister-in-law was still saying behind my back that I was poor and loved money. My family is poor, not as rich as her, this relative likes to go, if he is not willing to go, forget it, anyway, across the world, no one depends on anyone to eat. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang actually still has a little pimple in her heart. If her family hadn't lost her two sons, life would not have been so difficult.

Regarding Aunt Zhang's heart disease, Chen Xin couldn't persuade her. If you can think of it, Aunt Zhang has thought about it for decades, and what she can't think of is not something she can enlighten in a few words.

"Forget it, why am I telling you this. Aunt Zhang sniffed and wiped her eyes when she turned her head.

Chen Xin didn't say anything, helped put the bamboo sieve on the shelf, and then took another bamboo sieve to pick up the tea.

"This batch is the last batch of tea, and the weather will be bad in two days, and the sunshine will not be enough. Besides, I didn't expect so much tea to be sold this year, and the tea stored before was sent to the village for unified processing. Wait until next year when I get more tea with your Uncle Zhang, Xiaoxin will have to help take it out. ”
