Yu Zhenye sent Jiang Xiaolin to the door of Zhou's house until he handed her the book and went home by himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He came suddenly on vacation, and he didn't write to his family to tell him about his return. As soon as he entered, his mother was cleaning up the chicken coop in the yard, and when he looked up and saw him, he shouted in surprise:
"Oops, Zhenye is back. ”
Huang Cuilan hadn't seen her eldest son for several months, how could she not be surprised when she saw him, and quickly pushed him into the room and let him sit down.
"Why didn't you come back without saying a word, Mom didn't have time to prepare. ”
"I'm just afraid that you will prepare, and it will be comfortable to go home, and you will eat and drink the same. When he returned home, Yu Zhenye's mood also became very good, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"How can it be the same...... Eiko, Eiko, come and make a bowl of noodles for your brother. ”
"Big brother! Big brother is back. ”
Yu Ying ran out of her house and saw the eldest brother sitting in the hall, and was surprised to come up and talk, but was driven to the kitchen by her mother.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, I met Aunt Zhou as soon as I got off the train, and she gave me two buns to eat, don't let Yingzi cook noodles. "Yu Zhenye is really not hungry, and it won't be long before dinner is coming, so it's best to eat with everyone.
As soon as she heard him say, Huang Cuilan also remembered: "Yes, your Aunt Zhou's family is doing business at the train station now, and I heard that she is making money." She gave you the bun back, you kid, you really took it when people gave it to you, thank you Aunt Zhou?"
"Thank you. "Yu Zhenye has been away for many years, almost thirty years old, and his mother still educates him as a child, which makes him really cry and laugh.
Yu Ying heard that his eldest brother didn't eat noodles, so he went to the kitchen and poured some water.
Yu Zhenye was really thirsty, and drank it dry in a big gulp, Huang Cuilan looked at his thirsty appearance and felt distressed again, urging him to hurry into the house and lie down. I went to the kitchen to rummage through the materials, and I was ready to clean up a dinner for my son.
Huang Cuilan turned over for a long time and there was no result, her family didn't prepare anything to eat, not even meat, she was going to go to the county town to buy New Year's vegetables in the past two days, who knew that her son would run home today.
It is inconvenient for rural people to buy things, except for the market every few days, they can only run to the county seat.
By the way, Huang Cuilan remembered that Wang Xiulian's family had to buy pork every day because of the meat bun business. She suddenly had an idea, and quickly looked at her own eggs, she raised a lot of chickens and laid a lot of eggs. In order to keep it for the second child, I haven't sold it recently, and I have saved more than 100 eggs.
She took a basket and picked up thirty eggs and packed them, hoping to exchange them for some pork at home last week.
Let's talk about the Zhou family, when Jiang Xiaolin came back, the two sisters of the Zhou family were at home. Her uncle Zhou Quan, even in the off-season of farming, has to go around the crops every day, and today he went and was not at home. And Zhou and that naughty boy didn't know where to run to play after lunch.
When Huang Cuilan came, the Zhou sisters were trying on the clothes Jiang Xiaolin brought them. Zhou Ping wore a goose-yellow sweater with a sweetheart collar and a white shirt inside, and then exposed the collar, but it looked good, and even people looked white.
"Sister, this is really good-looking, very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive. ”
In fact, it's really not expensive, Jiang Xiaolin likes to go shopping on the street whenever she has time, she has a picky eye, and she will only make a move when she meets a good look and a suitable price, so she really didn't spend too much money.
"Sister Hui, try this coat, this is my wedding gift to you. ”
Jiang Xiaolin's wedding gift to Zhou Hui is this coat, a fabric of red thick tweed, which is specially ordered by someone. It looks like Jiang Xiaolin said and painted, and it was not easy for the tailor to understand, with large lapels and double rows, three-dimensional lines and a hundred times more spirit.
After Zhou Hui put it on, she looked at herself in the mirror, and the person who had always been so honest and soft looked crisp and dazzling, and she almost didn't know herself.
"It's so beautiful. Zhou Hui said softly.
"yes, it's pretty...... Looks better than mine. Zhou Ping's eyes turned red.
"It's not that you want to get married, when you get married, my sister will also prepare a wedding gift for you. Jiang Xiaolin smiled and teased Zhou Ping's careful eyes.
"That's settled. ”
When it comes to getting married, Zhou Ping can't blush, and it is the most important thing to hurry up and finalize her wedding gift.
"Okay, okay...... Girl who is not ashamed......"
"Is Hui Hui at home?"
Huang Cuilan stood at the gate of the courtyard of the Zhou family and shouted, although the courtyard door was open, she couldn't enter directly. knew that Wang Xiulian would not be able to come back at this time, so she went directly to Zhou Hui.
"Yes. ”
The door of the hall opened, and a little girl came out to greet her.
"Aunt Yu is good. ”
"Huihui, this coat is really beautiful. I think it's for a happy event. Huang Cuilan saw Zhou Hui at a glance, who was different from the simple before, her face was red and extremely beautiful. "Pingping is also at home, so I didn't go to help your mom today...... This is Xiaolin, are you back from vacation?"
Huang Cuilan saw that these three girls were all wearing new clothes, all of them were young and beautiful, and she really liked them.
"Well, I just came back today. Jiang Xiaolin replied to her words.
"Our family Zhenye also came back, but the child didn't tell me before he came back, and the family didn't prepare any good things, I remember that your family buys meat every day, and my aunt wants to exchange this basket of eggs for a pound of pork with your family, and go back to fry some vegetables." Huang Cuilan was a little embarrassed, Wang Xiulian was not there, she told a few children about it, and she didn't know if she could change it.
"No problem, I'll cut the meat for my aunt. ”
Zhou Hui was about to go to the kitchen after speaking, but Jiang Xiaolin stopped her: "Sister, you and Pingping are still wearing new clothes, I'll go." ”
The Zhou family really has a lot of pork, because of business, they used to have to buy it every day. Now in winter, it can be frozen outside, so the family bought a lot of meat at once and froze, saving a lot of work.
Jiang Xiaolin didn't know how much a pound of pork was, but she estimated that there were six people in the Yu family, and besides...... With a physique like him, he must love meat, so he cut a large piece of pork and took it out.
When she came out, Huang Cuilan had already picked up all the eggs and put them in a basket of the Zhou family, she was also a kind person, and the thirty eggs were all big and fresh. However, when she saw the pork that Jiang Xiaolin handed her, she was reluctant to ask for it.
"This piece of meat is cut too big, I'm afraid it's three catties, no, no, I can't ask for so many ......"
Huang Cuilan excused herself, but Jiang Xiaolin had already put the meat into her basket, "Auntie, just take it." Your eggs are really good, if these are sold, they will be more expensive than a pound of meat. ”
"You can't ask for so much meat, half of it...... Half is enough. ”
"Aunt Zhou, take it. ”
Zhou Hui and Zhou Ping changed back into old clothes and came over to help.
"Auntie, you wait for me. ”
Jiang Xiaolin ran into the house, took out a bottle of friendship alabaster from her backpack, and ran out again.
"Auntie, this is what I brought to Eiko, you can help bring it back to her. ”
Huang Cuilan didn't see what it was, but she felt that she couldn't take other people's things for nothing, so she hurriedly pushed this again: "This can't work, what are you buying for her, you keep it for yourself......"
"Auntie, don't worry, it's our sister's business. ”
Jiang Xiaolin smiled and stuffed the vial into the basket held by Huang Cuilan, pushed her out of the door: "Auntie, I know that you are in a hurry to go home to cook, and my aunt is not here, so I won't keep you much, let's talk about it again when we have time, goodbye aunt!"
Huang Cuilan was withdrawn from the door of the Zhou family's courtyard, and when she looked back, Jiang Xiaolin even closed the door.
"You say this kid ......," she cried and laughed.
