The two sisters led Wang Bo to visit their favorite "Beauty Creek", which left countless childhood memories, and then walked around the mountains and forests near the "Beauty Creek". When he entered the mountains and forests, Wang Bo was afraid that he would encounter snakes, and he was most afraid of the cold swishing thing.
"Brother Bo, it's winter, and the snakes are hibernating! But even if there is, you don't have to be afraid. My grandfather said that most of the snakes here are not poisonous, so I will help you catch them when the time comes!" Chen Bing smiled and reassured his brother-in-law, but Chen Xiang showed a kind ridicule, laughing at Wang Bo's timidity, even afraid of snakes, saying that he and her sister dared to catch snakes.
Compared with the spring when everything is recovering, the mountains and forests in winter are a bit monotonous, the leaves of the trees are mostly yellow, the wild fruits have fallen, the small animals are difficult to find, and there are no mountain flowers to be seen. The three of them stayed until about five o'clock, and then began to return home along the same road.
Before he could get closer, he saw the green smoke in the direction of the grass house from a distance, Chen Bing sniffed his nose, suddenly jumped up, and happily pointed to Wang Bo:
"Brother Bo, look, my mother, my grandmother are smoking bacon! I smell the pine branches!"
When I got home, I pushed open the door, and sure enough, a large family gathered in a round stove made of red bricks in the courtyard to smoke bacon, pine branches, cypress, orange peel, bay leaves, and some peanut shells and walnut shells piled up next to the stove. Wang Bo was not ashamed to ask, and carefully asked the two old men for advice, he was not to learn the craft, but simply curious. The game eaten at noon, Chen Xiang brought to him from his hometown every year, mountain bacon, the taste is very special, full of a strong fragrance that is different from the general cured meat, anyway, it is much better than what Wang Bo ate outside, and the bacon that his mother pickled out by himself, it seems that it is also smoked with special smoked materials and special processes according to the ancestral method.
Seeing that Wang Bo was interested in these farm crafts, Chen Xiang's grandparents smiled and said everything, and taught them without reservation. Wang Bo thought while studying, with the old man's smoky skills, he didn't have to worry about not being able to find food outside, but unfortunately he was blocked by this prison-like mountain. By the time of next year, the smoky delicacy made by the Chen family with ancestral craftsmanship will be reproduced in the world and more delicious dogs will be served.
In a few years, after Taobao became popular, let the two sisters open a smoked Taobao shop, which was personally planned by him, with the thatched cottage in the mountain village where the ancestors of the two sisters lived as the background, with the two sisters wearing peasant clothes and smoking cured meat, "gray face", "cute and pitiful" photos, plus a story with a history, not worrying about a group of foodies and perverts not taking the bait.
In the evening, Chen Xiang's parents made two new dishes, a pickled pepper crucian carp, a boiled eel, crucian carp and eel are wild in the mountains, the taste is delicious, refreshing and slag, Wang Bo sweats profusely, and is addicted.
There is no entertainment for people in the mountains, and Chen Xiang has no TV at home, so he usually goes to bed early and gets up early.
After dinner, Chen Xiang's mother, Song Chun'e, began to arrange for rest and bedtime. She first pulled Chen Xiang aside and consulted her eldest daughter's opinion.
"Xiangxiang, go to bed at night, or let Mr. Wang sleep in my and your dad's bed?" Your dad will go to your grandfather's, and your grandmother and I will come to you and Bingbing, do you think it's okay?"
"Let Mr. Wang sleep in your and the old man's house?" Chen Xiang's eyes widened, and she quickly glanced at her mother, "Mom, you can figure it out too!
Chen Xiang's family has three bedrooms, her parents' room is full of food and sundries, and her grandparents' room is also a lot of messy household goods, and it is next to the pigsty and toilet, so the conditions of her two sisters' rooms are better, and they have always been used as guest rooms for entertaining guests, but only for female guests, and for male guests, they are generally arranged in her parents' rooms.
"Then what should I do? Let Mr. Wang sleep in your room with Bingbing? Where do you two sleep? Why don't you two sisters sleep in my bed with your old man, and your old man and I will go to the hall to make bunks on the floor?"
Chen Xiang crooked her mouth, and wanted to say that there were not two beds in her and her sister's room? Let Mr. Wang sleep on one, and she and her sister will sleep on the other, but she is afraid that her mother will want to be crooked, and she will scold her for not loving herself and having no tutor.
Do you know that our family is a single family, and there are no neighbors around, and your aunt and uncle live far away, otherwise, your two sisters or your old man can go to the neighbors or your aunt to squeeze in. Song Chun'e said with a look of embarrassment.
At this moment, Chen Bing ran in and asked her sister and her mother what they were talking about secretly. Song Chun'e told her little daughter that Chen Bingren was young and couldn't think of some things in the adult world, so she immediately said: "Mom, don't my sister and I have two beds in our room?
Chen Bing's words made Chen Xiang's eyebrows dance, and he immediately wanted to hug his sister and kiss him.
When Song Chun'e heard this, she directly slapped Chen Bing, and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? There is a difference between men and women, you two are still yellow flower daughters, and you are known to sleep in the same room with a man, what do outsiders think of our Chen family, look at you two sisters?
"Isn't there a curtain of cloth? Besides, our family has its own courtyard, who would know? Who will chew on this boring tongue?" Chen Bing flattened his mouth, obviously not interested in his mother's "feudal thoughts".
Chen Xiang felt that she couldn't be silent any longer, so she echoed her sister's words, and said: "That's it, Mom, what era is it now? You are still so old-fashioned and old-fashioned! Moreover, it's not that my sister and I stay alone with Mr. Wang, what about our two sisters together, and the curtain as a partition, and the body is not afraid of shadows, and we don't do anything unseemly, what are we afraid of people chewing the root of the tongue?"
The two sisters said that there was no problem, but Song Chun'e was still a little hesitant, even if their family was not worried about rumors, but she was also worried that Wang Bo would think too much!
She put her worries on the eldest daughter, Chen Xiang saw that her mother was finally relieved, and immediately reassured her mother, saying that the king of the family is always a big man, so he doesn't stick to these small sections. Moreover, the people in the city are open, and they don't care about the avoidance among the rural people.
Song Chun'e was still a little undecided, and Chen Xiang was anxious, but she didn't dare to be too eager, so as not to let her mother see what was boring. When she saw that the two large boxes of clothes, cigarettes and alcohol that Wang Bo bought for his family were still on the side of the cabinet, and she didn't show them to her parents, she immediately reacted, hurriedly put down the two suitcases, opened them, opened them all, and spread all the new clothes with nameplates and price tags on her bed, and said to her mother and sister proudly and with some invitation:
"Mom, Bingbing, come and see, these are the clothes that Mr. Wang bought for you, Dad, grandparents, and Bingbing, all of which were bought in specialty stores and shopping malls, as well as tobacco and alcohol, Moutai wine and Chinese cigarettes!"
Song Chun'e looked at one after another clothes and pants, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly took her daughter's hand and asked, "What, why do you buy so much?"
"Don't you feel comfortable buying too much? Your adults' things are not very expensive, one or two hundred, my sister's is more expensive, more than five hundred down jackets, more than three hundred jeans, more than five hundred sneakers, and more than a thousand in total. There are also cigarettes, alcohol and sugar, which add up to more than a thousand!"
"Then, doesn't that always cost thousands of waists? You ghost woman, we are so ignorant, let Mr. Wang spend so much money-no, Mr. Wang will not spend money on you for no reason, are you two-" Song Chun'e was surprised at first, and then quickly realized that something was wrong, and was about to ask in detail, but was interrupted by Chen Xiang with a blushing face.
"Mom, what do you want? Who is the king of the family? A big star, a rich man, who is your daughter? A village girl who walked out of the mountains, doesn't she have any self-knowledge?" Seeing through her mother, Chen Xiang was anxious and said with a flushed face. The relationship between her and Wang Bo is currently shady, even if it is her parents, they have to hide it for the time being.
And Chen Bing, who was in the know, saw her sister blushing and opening her eyes to speak in the vernacular, but she pursed her lips and snickered on the side, and was glared at by Chen Xiang several times.
"It's okay, why does that person spend so much money for you for no reason? How many thousands, my mother, your old man may not earn a few thousand a year!" Song Chun'e said with a hesitant face, a little unconvinced.
"He's rich! That's a small amount of money to him! And, I ...... Wasn't I valued by Mr. Wang? What's wrong with the boss spending money to please his valued employees?" Chen Xiang lowered her head and said, looking at her mother's surprise, the happy expression on her sister's face, and her own heart, she also felt happy and comfortable.
"So?"
"Oh, Mom, don't think about it, just think about it as if I honor you, the old man, and my grandparents. These are Bingbing, these, these, and these, all of them belong to you adults, take them out and show them to your dad and grandparents, so that they can be happy and happy, especially grandpa and grandma, who haven't worn new clothes for many years, and they are all picking up old clothes from you and Dad, as well as me and Bingbing. Hurry up and get out, I'll change the quilt cover and bed sheets for Mr. Wang to sleep in at night. ”
As she spoke, Chen Xiang urged her mother to hurry out, bent down and took out a four-piece bed set brought back from Shuangqing from the box. Although the sheets and quilts at home were also washed clean by her mother and were not dirty at all, they were too old, and she was worried that her beloved man would not be able to sleep.
