【Chapter 241】Native of another country
After learning some about Xiao Feng's family from Xiao Jiangguo, Pan Shi and the others returned to the room and began to prepare gifts for guests tonight.
There is no big market in Ginkgo Village, and even if most of the goods sold in a few small shops are specialties of Ginkgo Village, it is impossible for Pan Shi to take these specialties as gifts.
Fortunately, Pan Shi and the others are also enjoying the habit of life, and the suitcase is full of all kinds of good tea, good coffee and other things, and a few people got together and still made a bag of gifts.
"Brother Shi, these gifts are too shabby!" Bai Jinsheng, who was in charge of carrying the bag, looked at the bag in his hand with a bitter face, quite embarrassed.
These sons usually go out as guests, and they can't get the gifts that are not 'tall' at all, which is like now, a box of civet coffee, a can of Longjing, a yellow crane tower, three or two big cats and kittens, shabby and abnormal.
"It's okay, we'll just make it up next time we come!" In this regard, Pan Shi looked at it freely, because he felt that Xiao Feng should not be the kind of person who was too cautious.
In Xiaojiangguokou, Pan Shi learned a lot of information about Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Scenic Area, and had already made up his mind to come to Ginkgo Village to hunt next autumn. It's a long time coming, so even if the gift from the first door is a little shabby, Pan Shi is not too worried.
"After we go back to Beiping, we can send some more things to the dolls of the Xiao family!" Wang Hongqi answered on the side, which was unanimously approved by everyone.
Because the problem of being a guest is not taken into account. Whoever travels will not take the doll's things with them, this time it seems a little rushed. Fortunately, Bai Yinsheng, who has a sweet tooth, brought two boxes of handmade chocolates from Austria. should be able to get the love of the Xiao family dolls.
Because they were going to be guests, Pan Shi and the others did not deliberately wait for the time to start the meal, and left from the 'Drunken Hongchen' inn at five o'clock.
The road village committee in Ginkgo Village has organized the villagers to carry out a special clean-up, so there is no need to take a horse-drawn sleigh to go out, and it is also interesting to walk along the bluestone road and listen to the sound of flowing water to the mountain.
This mountain spring in Ginkgo Village, even in heavy snow at minus degrees Celsius. There was still a hint of heat, which made Pan Shi and the others amazed.
At this time, the farmhouses along the way also continue to cook on fire, and the smoke of the cooking brings a fresh pine aroma, bringing a touch of warmth to this small mountain village.
Ginkgo Village is not big, Pan Shi and the others walked for less than ten minutes to come to the dam of the Xiao family's old house, just in time for Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi to come out of the courtyard carrying a basket.
"You're old Brother Pan, right?" saw Pan Shi and the others. Xiao Qiang hurriedly greeted him.
Today, Xiao Feng began to prepare dinner after returning home, and also told Xiao Qiang and others that someone was coming to be a guest, and now he saw Pan Shi and others coming to the door with gifts, where did he not know that this was a guest?
"I'm really embarrassed to take the liberty to visit today!" Pan Shi handed the gift to Xiao Qiang and asked, "Are you preparing food for the golden monkey?"
Don't look at Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, who are not very old. But Pan Shike didn't dare to snub them at all, after all, they were not ordinary villagers.
"The two of us are just responsible for the coolies, and there will be someone else who feeds the monkeys later!" Xiao Qiang smiled, stretched out his hand to invite Pan Shi and his party into the courtyard, and said, "Brother Jiu is cooking in the kitchen." We'll make a fire in the hall first, and we'll be ready to eat when the kids get out of school!"
"I'm really bothering you!" Pan Shi looked polite. I can't see the habits of my son's brother in Beiping at all.
This is also normal, Pan Shi is also a year old, he has already passed the age of arrogance, and when he comes to a strange place, he will naturally not be arrogant, not to mention, the Xiao family's background may not be worse than their Pan family?
When Xiao Qiang pushed open the door of the hall, Pan Shi saw the old man who was roasting by the fire, his mouth was wide open, and he looked incredulous.
"Uncle Xu, why are you here?" Pan Shi, who had always been articulate, suddenly stammered, and greeted Xu Xiangnan who was sitting in the hall in a panic.
Pan Shi never expected to meet Xu Xiangnan at the Xiao family, his head couldn't turn for a while, and he asked a very unqualified question.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the Xu family and the Pan family is still very deep, Pan Shi's grandfather used to be a subordinate of Xu Xiangnan's father, and Pan Shi was held in Xu Xiangnan's arms when he was a child. There was a time when the adults of the two families wanted to match Pan Shi and Xu Mengyao, but maybe the two of them were too familiar, but they didn't feel it, and the matter was over.
However, due to the habits he developed since childhood, Pan Shi was still a little stunned by the strong and square Xu Xiangnan.
"What, why am I here?" Xu Xiangnan's eyes widened, and he said to Pan Shi: "It turns out that Xiao Feng said that it was a few of you who invited you? Xiaopang, don't hide!"
The latter sentence was said to Bai Jinsheng, who was quietly hiding behind Pan Shi, and he didn't look at it, his height of 18o and weight of 18o, could he hide?
"Uncle Xu, hello!" Bai Jinsheng squeezed out an ugly smile from his face, and greeted Xu Xiangnan with a bitter face.
The Xu family is a big family, Mrs. Xu was born as a red ghost, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general when he was awarded the title in 55, and the 9o old General Xu is one of the only remaining veterans in the party. Xu Xiangnan also has an elder brother, who retired from the position of a member of the Military Commission and lived with the old lady in the compound of the Military Commission in Beiping.
In the past, Xu Xiangnan often went to Beijing to visit the old man, and the naughty ghosts of Pan Shi and Bai Jinsheng had a headache when they saw Xu Xiangnan than when they saw their own old man.
Now, Bai Jinsheng would not have thought that in a small village like Ginkgo Village, he would be able to meet Xu Xiangnan, so he could only sigh that the passing year was unfavorable.
"Come and sit!" Xu Xiangnan patted the stool next to him and said, "It turns out that you are the skiing masters that Xiaofeng said, not bad, skiing is better than drag racing!"
In the eyes of the older generation, things like drag racing, alcoholism, and carnival are always unpopular, but sports seem much healthier.
"Xiaofeng's skiing skills are much better than ours, we are willing to bow to the wind!" Following the old man's words, Pan Shi began to greet the old people in the hall one by one.
Seeing Xu Xiangnan talking and laughing with these old people here, Pan Shi knew that even if he was a pig's brain, these old people might not be simple. In fact, he didn't know that Old Lady Xiao, Xue Fugui, and Old Man Wei were just ordinary ordinary people, but by chance, they became Xu Xiangnan's in-laws.
"Xiaofeng?!" Xu Xiangnan looked at Pan Shi with a smile, held back a smile, and said, "You'll have to change your mouth in a while!"
Xu Xiangnan's expression made Pan Shi and Bai Jinsheng feel creepy, but they didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, so they could only wait for the verdict of fate.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Dazhi, who were following behind, saw that Old Man Xu was actually familiar with Pan Shi and others, and their attitude towards them became more enthusiastic again, and acquaintances couldn't be lazy.
Xiao Qiang's warm hospitality somewhat dispelled some of Pan Shi's nervousness, and he sat in the hall and began to talk and laugh with Xiao Qiang and the others.
"Eldest sister, Xiaofeng is cooking again?Is there a guest today?" At this time, Pan Shi heard a familiar voice from the courtyard, but he didn't hear it very really, and Pan Shi didn't dare to confirm it.
Pan Shi turned his head and looked at the little fat Bai Jinsheng, and they both saw a trace of suspicion in the other party's eyes, thinking that the old man Xu Xiangnan was also here, and they realized that the terrifying demon king might really appear.
As soon as they thought of it, the two of them felt that there was no light in the world, and they felt like they were caught in the net.
"A few of you go to the hall to roast the fire, don't freeze!" As he spoke, the door of the hall was pushed open, and Xu Mengyao walked in with Nini, Tongtong and Xiao Haoyu.
"Sister Meng Yao!"
"Big sister!"
As soon as they saw Xu Mengyao's figure, Pan Shi, Bai Jinsheng and Wang Hongqi couldn't calm down anymore, and stood up in unison and greeted Xu Mengyao.
"It turned out to be Little Stone, Little Fat and Little Red Flag!" Xu Mengyao paused for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Why did you travel to Ginkgo Village and come to eat at home?"
"Eldest sister, we were skiing in the ski resort and met Xiao Feng, and he invited us to be guests!" Bai Jinsheng nodded and explained to Xu Mengyao.
In Bai Jinsheng's memory, the eldest sister of the Military Commission compound 2o years ago was Xu Mengyao, and even Pan Shi, who was three days younger than her, was also her little follower. It is difficult to eliminate the prestige, even if so many years have passed, Bai Jinsheng does not dare to be presumptuous in front of Xu Mengyao.
"What Xiaofeng?!" Xu Mengyao glared at Bai Jinsheng, and said with a straight face: "I will call my brother-in-law in the future!"
"Xiaofeng and Meng Yao got engaged on New Year's Day, and it's okay for you to call him brother-in-law in the future!" At this time, Xu Xiangnan explained beside him.
Bai Jinsheng and several people looked at each other, no one expected that a young man he met in the ski resort would become his 'brother-in-law' in a blink of an eye, this gap is too big.
The complicated expressions on the faces of Pan Shi and the others made Xiao Qiang and the others happy, and they could only sigh that this world was too small, and the few guests invited by Brother Jiu casually were actually the friends of the Xu family in the end.
After greeting for a while, everyone sat around and chatted, Pan Shi and the others were very curious about why Xu Mengyao, Old Man Xu, and the old lady lived here, and Xu Mengyao and Xiao Feng were also engaged. However, even if there are thousands of words full of questions, I don't know where to start?
Especially when a little girl called Xu Mengyao 'Mom', the curiosity in Pan Shi's heart was as if he had been scratched by a cat's paws, and his heart was itchy and unbearable.
Xu Mengyao could see Bai Jinsheng scratching her ears and cheeks, but she just deliberately didn't say it, she just didn't talk about it, she just didn't talk about it.
After chatting for a while, news came from the kitchen that it was time to eat!
Everyone moved from the hall to the restaurant, and the restaurant that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time is also an eye-opener for Pan Shi and others.
This is a restaurant transformed into a restaurant after the three rooms of the west wing of the old mansion were opened, with two dining tables up to 2o meters long, which are full of all kinds of delicacies and exude a rich aroma.
