Chapter 496: Big Eater

Xiaohu's wound healed very well, except for some itching, there was no major problem, and there was no need to lie in bed to recuperate. The princes were all locked up again, and their families could wander around the capital in peace.

Dahong is in the new area of Mao'er Hutong, and the second phase has already been completed, and the residents have also moved in one after another, and the first phase of greening is better than the first phase.

The first phase of greenery is lavender-themed, with tall lavender flower beds on both sides of the main walkway. All the lavender planted in it is purple lavender, and the lavender in this community is managed by special greening personnel.

The flower beds in the central garden, one layer taller than the other, are stacked all the way to the top of the circle, which is only a foot in size. It is also all planted with lavender, and every flowering season, it is stacked on top of each other, like the waves of flowing water from top to bottom, and from a distance, it looks like a purple fountain flowing water. Many people from outside come here just to see this strange and wonderful flower scene. However, you can't enter the gate of the community, and you have to bring in relatives or friends who live inside, and the community becomes more and more noble.

At the base of the central flower bed is a pond about two zhang wide with ornamental fish, and the perimeter of the pond is a wooden railing that is covered with honeysuckle vines, and the whole community can smell the fragrance of honeysuckle during the flowering season.

The water in the pond is connected to the canal that surrounds the rockery, and the rockery on the canal is not deliberately artificially made of stones, but when the foundation was dug at the beginning, the waste soil had nowhere to be sent, and all of it was piled up here. A hill resembles a mound of dirt. The rockery is full of peach trees, and when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March, the mountain is full of lovely tender red. It attracted students and gentlemen from nearby universities to put aside the pride of scholars. They begged the guards at the door to let them in and take a closer look.

In the gap between the peach trees, wild chrysanthemums that are easy to survive and easy to care for are planted. When the flowers bloom, in addition to the pruned and bare peach trees, the wild chrysanthemums are golden yellow, and the degree of showiness at this time is no worse than the peach blossoms that are tender and red.

The canal that surrounds the foot of the mountain, along the shore of the pedestrian side, is full of weeping willows, water bamboos, gardenias, and water willows. It is not only ornamental, but also can prevent children from running into the canal alone to play in the water.

The other exit of the canal is connected to the stream in the green belt in front and behind the building, and this small stream is like a shining jade belt shuttling between every building in the community. The reflection of the sun's rays shines on people's eyes, like dazzling diamonds buried in turquoise.

On both sides of the creek are weeping willows, and in the gap between the weeping willows are gardenias, and it is a slip that stops the gardenia from stretching blindly towards the stream. The dwarf fence is made of bamboo and wooden planks that resemble diamond-shaped flowers. Green spaces on both sides of the creek. Peppermint is planted on one side and wormwood is planted on the other. Although these two things are not very ornamental, they are good things to repel insects and prevent diseases.

In any case, because the highly humanized greening and institutional security of this community have achieved the best and most beautiful, the interior decoration, configuration and the supply of centralized heating, etc., all aspects make people feel comfortable and comfortable living in it, making the housing prices of the second phase rise gradually, and the price of a three-bedroom house is much higher than that of an ordinary courtyard. Even with such an outrageous price, the second phase of the house was still sold out before it was completed.

Others are surprised and can't understand it. But Erya knew that in her former world, such an outrageous thing had happened in the capital. But it was only for a short period of time. Later, in the capital, the same lot was still worth more than a building.

The greening of this second phase is based on the theme of fiery roses, and the main plan is roughly the same as that of the first phase, that is, the flowers planted in the flower beds are different, and ornamental lotuses are also added to the pool. However, the second phase is more mature than the first. There are seesaws, small swings, and small slides for children, as well as Keju fields that young people love to play, roller skating rinks made of cement, horizontal bars, parallel bars, rings, and other new fitness programs. There is also an activity place specially built for the elderly, which is like a tea house, and there are regular storytelling, singing, or musical instrument performances every day. The old people can entertain themselves in it, or they can ask the theater troupe or the calligrapher to come and borrow the place for free to earn some tipping money.

This second phase of the building has fewer buildings and more activity spaces and green areas, which makes it worth the money for those who have spent more money to live in it. Many old people from large families live here to play with a group of old brothers and sisters, and they are generally reluctant to go back if they don't have a major event at home that they have to go back to preside. Even young people are trying their best to move out of their homes and live in this vibrant and happy community.

Although it was not the right time to come, the land of the cold winter wax moon is really nothing to look at. But they can imagine what kind of flowery scene it will be after the spring breeze blows. In particular, Erya saw some of the facilities here that are very post-generational, just like returning to the former world, very kind. At the moment, I booked four three-bedroom apartments in the third phase of the house, one for each of the three sons, and one for the "old" two. Regardless of whether you have the opportunity to stay here for a long time in the future, it is also good to stay here once in a while.

Dahong and Xiangzi both refused to ask for room money, and Dahong said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law! We didn't pay any interest on the money we borrowed from you, and even if these houses were counted as interest, they were too little. You and Brother Xiaohu can't be polite to us! ”

Xiangzi also said: "It's all a family, and there is no reason why we have to spend money to buy our own house." If the second sister-in-law has to give silver, she will be out of sight with us. We have taken more things from you for so many years than we can count, do we still want us to count the money for you? ”

Xiaohu smiled beside him: "Forget it!" Don't give, don't give! Daughter-in-law, don't give money! They are now big households, and we have to eat big households. ”

Dahong and Xiangzi laughed, one on the left side and the other on the right side of the waist grabbed Xiaohu and played as he walked: "Brother! Who doesn't know that you are the big one in our family? Today you want to invite us to a big meal, and we are going to eat you, a real big family. ”

"Okay, okay! Brother let you eat! ”

Qingzhu and Wen Chao and Wen Yue saw their father, uncle, and uncle. Adults in their thirties, still playing shoulder to shoulder like a child, both fun and embarrassed. They were all a little embarrassed to stare at them, just grinning on the sidelines. Erya hugged Xiao Wenfan, Dahong's daughter-in-law, and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law, and they followed behind and walked to the south gate of the community together. Passing through the community of the first phase, it is the seafood business opened by Mrs. Kong Liu.

The tents, which used to occupy a wide cement avenue, have been moved to a large open space next to the general market. However, on both sides of the cement avenue, there are raised platforms dedicated to pedestrians. There was still a long small tent left. This is convenient for customers who come to eat in horse-drawn carriages or on horseback, and each of them is a small private tent, which is like a small private room that has nothing to do with other diners.

Now is the time of the cold winter wax moon. There are more seafood hot pots, and you can see the white mist in the tent steaming out of the cracks from a distance, bringing visual warmth to people.

Erya looked at the two concubines who were full of interest, afraid of waking up the little lazy man who was already asleep. He asked in a low voice, "Shall we eat hot pot today?" ”

Dahong's daughter-in-law has been outside for so many years. Naturally, I have seen more of the world than I have in the countryside, and I have earned countless amounts of silver, and I have realized more and more how short-sighted I used to be. The respect for Erya in my heart is even more than the daughter-in-law who has always respected Erya very much.

She listened to her second sister-in-law ask their opinions, but carefully asked her second sister-in-law: "What does the second sister-in-law like to eat?" My little nephew is still breastfeeding, is there any seafood that I can't eat? ”

Thinking that the daughter-in-law is also looking at Erya in a state where we listen to you, Erya smiled and shook her head: "I can eat anything, Xiao Wenfan will not affect the milk." It's up to you and your kids what they want to eat! ”

Qingzhu said beside him: "Let's eat hot pot!" I haven't eaten seafood hot pot yet! I don't know what's there? ”

Dahong's daughter-in-law also nodded, "That's okay!" I also eat hot pot. There are a lot of things in the seafood that can be scalded in hot pot, and it feels even better than mutton and beef! ”

They were still talking. The brothers who went in first happened to see a table of people standing up to leave, and hurriedly ran over to dominate them. shouted at the slow group here: "Hurry up! There are so many people, and it's not easy to wait for an empty table. ”

The little lazy man may have been woken up by the heat in the tent, or perhaps by the noise of people inside. But he didn't cry either, staring at the dark eyes and purring, looking curiously at the many, many people in front of him.

While they were waiting to clean up the table, they saw a child holding a clay pot and pouring out the rest of the pot, including the soup and ingredients. Erya frowned, obviously asked the big housekeeper here to visit everywhere, and when he saw a begging child, he took it back, why is there still here? So he asked the second child who cleaned up: "Why are there still begging children here?" ”

Xiao Er saw that the guest had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Don't blame! These children are not beggars, they are all children living in a shanty on the other side of the alley. The family can't afford to buy anything delicious, and the children are greedy and watch it outside every day. Our host saw that some of the guests were few and there were many dishes, so they couldn't eat at all, and the bottom of the remaining pot was very thick, so it was a pity to pour it, so they asked them to bring a pot from home. As long as there is a guest who eats little and has a lot leftover, let them pour it back, and the family can also eat a hot meal. ”

The child who poured the bottom of the pot stood aside timidly, not daring to leave. Xiao Er saw the guest smiling and nodded, knowing that the guest was not angry, so he said to the child, "Take it home!" Be careful on the road and don't fall. ”

The child smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Brother Zhang!" My brother will come and pick me up in a moment. ”

The child had not gone far from the tent when his brother had come to pick him up.

"Brother! Look, there are a lot of shrimp and oyster meat today, as well as particularly delicious cuttlefish balls. ”

The teenage child took the clay pot in his brother's hand, looked at the spiky pile of vegetables in it, and was taken aback: "Big brother! How can there be so many dishes today? ”

The child's smiling eyes are crooked, and he is very happy. "There were only three guests at this table, but I ordered a large table of dishes. They also poured plates and plates into the pot, and they couldn't finish all the burps. When they were leaving, it was just in time for me to pour out the bottom of the pot. Brother! Did I have any luck today? ”

"Yes! Big brother is so lucky! You're going to have to eat more today. ”

The child blushed and shook his head: "Give my father and mother and my younger brothers and sisters more to eat, I don't have to eat more." ”

"The eldest brother is the most sensible!" (To be continued.) )
