Chapter 36: Inquiring
There is nothing to say about Huanxi's craftsmanship, even if the seasoning is simpler, but the crucian carp tofu soup made still makes everyone eat with oil in their mouths.
The most satisfying thing is that the crucian carp looks only one or two catties, but the soup has two large pots, although it looks like the water is put too much, the taste is not weak at all, and the fragrance is very fragrant.
Even Xi Wanli, who thinks he is well-informed, also thinks that the little girl's craftsmanship is no worse than in the restaurant, and sighs: "It's a pity that there is no beef." ”
Huanxi heard the words with a look of approval, and said to Song Erzhu on the side: "Daddy, will the cows of the production team be killed and eaten when they are old?"
The production team is basically using cattle to cultivate the land, and she has observed that one of them looks old.
She was full of expectations, but she didn't want Song Erzhu to shake her head and said, "Even if the cow is old, it won't be killed and eaten, and it has to be exchanged for calves." ”
Huanxi was very disappointed, Xi Wanli on the side looked a little unbearable, and said, "I'll buy you beef next time I come." ”
Although he rarely eats beef on weekdays, his father's status is there, and it is rare that he can still eat it.
"Really?" Huanxi didn't say anything polite to him, anyway, she's still a child now, and it's so boring to be polite.
To be honest, she also likes Xi Wanli, at first because of the other party's prosperous beauty, but now she thinks this person is good, obviously he is still a high-spirited teenager, and he seems to be spoiled, but he is not self-conscious, and he knows how to take care of people.
It stands to reason that Xi Wanli's age should look at him like a little brother, but she doesn't know why, but she is stunned to be able to look at him with equal eyes.
Seeing that the little girl laughed happily, Xi Wanli's mood also improved, and he nodded and said, "When the time comes, stew the potatoes and beef together, it tastes good." ”
"Then let's say okay. "Joy is looking forward to it more and more.
Song Baojia listened silently, anyway, in his opinion, Xi Wanli came to Songjiazhuang just once, and there would be no next time at all.
It was hot, after dinner, the family went to the door to enjoy the cool after eating, and the door panel was set up with two benches, and people sat on it, and then everyone had a pu fan.
The third uncle's family next door also sat with them, talking and talking, and talked about the family affairs of the Song Bao family.
"Second uncle, what are you planning on the marriage of the Bao family?" Feng Shuhua asked.
Song Erzhu glanced at his eldest nephew and said: "The situation of protecting the family is not suitable for marrying a daughter-in-law in Songjiazhuang, he does not meet the conditions for his family to join the army now, and he married a daughter-in-law and stayed at home...... Unhappy. ”
What's not suitable?
Feng Shuhua was about to ask like this, but her heart turned but she understood what Song Erzhu meant. The second uncle didn't marry a wife, the family was not at home, and the niece and daughter-in-law lived in the same house with the single uncle, and the gossip outside was going to be ugly after a long time.
It's just that......
Feng Shuhua glanced at the Song Baojia, whose expression had not changed, and said: "This daughter-in-law who marries outside, there is no elder to give her a palm, if one marries back, a troublemaker...... What's more, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that the daughter-in-law who marries outside won't look down on mud legs like us. ”
Today, there were seven or eight more people who came to inquire about her, and she saw that two of the girls were really good, and their appearance and temperament were top-notch. She thought that the second uncle had worked hard to pull the three eldest nephews, and it would be great if she could find a nephew and daughter-in-law with a filial personality.
"No need, little aunt, I haven't thought about starting a family yet. This time it was Song Baojia himself who answered her.
What he said was his true thoughts, but his concerns were different from those of the second uncle.
Even if he is not married, he knows from the situation of some married comrades-in-arms that it is impossible for him to send back all the allowances as before after marriage. But he couldn't leave his two younger brothers alone, and besides...... The second uncle is not married in order to take care of them, he can't get married and live his own life, but let the second uncle worry about his two younger brothers, right?
Anyway, he is only twenty years old, and it is not uncommon for him to be twenty years old in the army, even if he is thirty years old and not married. This time, I will bring Weiguo to the army, and wait for another seven or eight years, and I will almost grow up for the people, and it will not be too late to think about marriage when the time comes.
Song Erzhu didn't know his nephew's concerns, the reason why he was not in a hurry to let his nephew get married, was because he had seen many comrades-in-arms break down their marriages because they had no emotional foundation with their wives and had been separated for many years, so he felt that if his nephew wanted to get married, he would either find a like-minded person in the army directly, or wait until he could join the army to consider it.
Except for Huanxi and Song Weimin, the other children probably didn't notice the topic of adults at all.
Song Aiguo was tired of Huanxi and said, "Sister, let's go to the river tomorrow to catch fish, right?"
Huan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow, but Feng Zhen can't go." ”
In the past, the original owner often took a few younger siblings to pick wild vegetables, fish for field chickens, and often go fishing. Of course, all the fish caught in this fish are small fish and shrimp, and the fish is not eaten by people, but eaten by the cat raised by the third uncle.
"Good. Song Aiguo suddenly said happily: "Fengzhen asked my aunt to take it." ”
After a pause, he looked at him and said happily: "Sister, can you still take us to play?" Jingye and I can help you cut the grass and catch earthworms, and when I grow up, I can catch big fish like Brother Weiwei." ”
Song Weimin caught three fish, except for the crucian carp and carp, the grass carp was killed and divided into half of the fish meat for the third uncle's family, and the rest was pickled, Song Erzhu and Song Weiguo both like to eat salted fish.
Recently, Huanxi has been busy improving the conditions at home, but he rarely takes his younger siblings to play.
Huanxi felt a little guilty for a while, thinking that several younger brothers and sisters were very well-behaved, so he agreed: "Okay, in the future, my sister will take you with me when she mows the grass and catches earthworms." ”
Song Aiguo was suddenly happy, and Song Jingye on the side also smiled and squinted, only Song Meizhen looked ignorant, and played with her sleeves with joy.
The relationship between the Huanxi family and the people in the village is not particularly close, so they have more contacts with several families of the same clan. In the past, when it was cool, there was basically no one to visit the door, but today it was a little different, Huanxi and others sat for a while, and people came over one after another.
After listening to it for a while, Huanxi felt bored, in the end, these people came here for the eldest brother's family affairs. Surprisingly, there were still people who inquired about Xi Wanli.
She looked up, not to mention, although Xi Wanli looked thin, he was not short, and he actually looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. In particular, although he is thin, he is different from the dry thinness due to malnutrition that is common in the village, but is really lean.
