This year, because there is a leap March, the solar calendar day is much later than the lunar calendar, and the big day of the sixth day of the sixth month of June in Xu Mengyang has been converted into the solar calendar to the end of July.

Xu Huixiang took a week's annual leave, and returned to her parents' house two days early with her husband and children.

The second elder of the Xu family had prepared a room for a few children a week ago, and as the day approached, he sent someone to buy a bunch of snacks that the children loved to eat, especially today, and instructed the cook to quickly put out the Buddha who had practiced for half a year, so that the girl's family could eat it.

"Old man, show me, is this dress crisp? There's no pleats on the back, right? ”

Mrs. Xu received a call from her daughter, saying that she had already sat in the car to pick up the airport, and if the road was not blocked, she would be able to get home in another forty or fifty minutes, so she couldn't sit still, looking left and right in front of the dressing mirror in the entrance, lest she be dressed up formally enough, and when she looked back, she saw that her wife was still sitting calmly on the rocking chair humming Peking Opera, and she couldn't help but get angry, "Why are you still sitting?" I haven't gone in to change into clothes that can meet guests, and this one on my body is from last year......"

Old Man Xu smiled and said: "I'm not an outsider, what do I have to dress up when my daughter and son-in-law come to the door." Besides, this dress is pretty good, it doesn't fade at all, it's crisp when you pull it, you don't say that no one knows it's last year's clothes, although our days are good, we can't waste too much, right? ”

Mrs. Xu listened to a black line, is this a disguised saying that the old woman am wasting it?

After the old man finished speaking, he realized that his words were a bit unartistic, and quickly made up for it: "But in front of the children, you really need to dress appropriately." Otherwise, we would have thought we didn't welcome them. Let's go, old woman, pick a suitable one for me......"

That's pretty much it.

The old lady snorted and said, "What are you picking?" I've already put it on the bedside table for you, you can go in and change it yourself, hurry up! Don't bother, I still have to go to the kitchen to have a look, and I'll set the table when I'm almost ready, it's twelve o'clock, and the snacks on the plane are useless. When they arrive, we'll start eating......"

So, when Xu Huixiang and her husband arrived at her mother's house with a small bag, the old couple waited at the door of the station in a crisp and brand-new Tang costume.

"Alas! It's finally here. I'm going to call again if I don't come back. The old lady smiled from ear to ear, hugged her baby grandson and rewarded her with a few kisses, and then pulled over the two brothers and sisters of He Wei, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?" Grandma has prepared something delicious for you. Wash your hands quickly and serve them. Put things away, someone will take them in, you guys will take care of it slowly when you have eaten enough, and your eldest cousin's wedding is the day after tomorrow, don't worry. ”

The two elders all mean this: the emperor is big when he eats, and everything will be said after eating, so he is not welcome, and let the guards help carry the luggage and items into the guest room. The group sat down to eat with a smile.

On the rotating round countertop that can accommodate twelve or three people, eight cold dishes have been arranged. When everyone sat down, hot dishes came up one after another.

"Grandma, you said on the phone yesterday that Aunt Lian learned a new dish to make for us to eat, which one is it? Why can't I see it? It feels like I've eaten it. Yuan Yuan opened his big black eyes, looked at all the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xu Huixiang rewarded him with a chestnut angrily: "What's the hurry!" So many dishes are not enough for you to eat, your grandma has been busy all morning, you don't say thank you and ask her for other dishes, the bigger the more unspeakable. ”

Yuanyuan shouted in his heart, why did he think the dishes on the table were not delicious, wasn't he curious, who let his grandmother deliberately covet him on the phone, saying that Sister Lian had researched a new dish to ensure that he had a good appetite.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Lian will serve it." Don't worry, eat more later. ”

While speaking, Sister Lian, the cook of the Xu family, came out of the kitchen with a big crockpot with a lid, put the crockpot in the center of the round table, gently lifted the lid, and the rich fragrance came to the nostrils. ”

"Right!" The old lady stroked her palm happily, "It's the Buddha jumping over the wall!" Didn't you say it was delicious when you had a meal in the first month? Grandma specially asked your eldest cousin to find the recipe for this dish, and then let Sister Lian practice according to the recipe, I tasted it with your grandfather two days ago, and I felt that it was no worse than the restaurant, so I let Sister Lian stew it for you to eat, how is it? Happy, right? ”

This is one of the reasons, and the other is that she heard from her son-in-law that Old Man He hired a new chef in the spring of this year, who is good at making Buddha jumping over the wall, and promised that as long as Weiwei lives in their house, he will let the cook serve this dish to her every day.

Of course the old lady is not happy, our Xu family's goddaughter can use your He family to sell favors? Besides, the dowry was not given, so I was embarrassed to shout "eldest grandson and daughter-in-law"? Even if my granddaughter is destined to defect to Old Man He, your eldest grandson, in the near future, what can you do with me when the time is right? So he resolutely and decisively protested: not go! Just live in Xu's house! If you want to eat Buddha and jump over the wall, our Xu family won't do it. Sister Lian, on!

So, the almighty cook Sister Lian, in just four months, was trained by the old lady to become an expert in Buddha jumping over the wall.

The expressions of Xu Huixiang and others are the same as He Wei, they are all "embarrassed".

"Mom, this dish is good, it's nutritious and delicious, but what's it, it's not suitable to eat in the summer, right?"

"What's inappropriate?" The old lady glared, and almost blurted out that Old Man He also hired a cook to wait at home to do it for you, I call it the first strike, "Isn't this air conditioner on, which of you feels hot?" Besides, the recipe doesn't say that this dish can only be eaten in winter, since it is a dish, it is called spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it can be stewed and eaten if you like it, which is so particular about it......"

“……”

Xu heard the resentment in the old lady's words, no one dared to stroke the tiger's tail at this time, let alone a mother. If you want to open it, don't you just have a dish, the old man has been busy for a few months, so he should be happy to take care of them for the whole table.

So, the family gathered around the big clay pot and tasted it happily.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and I knew the chirping. The second elder of the Xu family was helped by Xu Huixiang to go back to the room for a nap. The three children put away their luggage and took a refreshing warm shower, but they didn't feel sleepy. However, they did not get together to talk, but rested in their respective rooms.

He Xidong was using his mobile phone to speculate in stocks, He Wei was dragged into the alumni group of junior high school by Qian Duoduo, and was chatting with them at this time, while Yuanyuan Children's Shoes was lying on the bed to call Mr. He (ventilation report).

Old Man He knew that they were here today, and he also knew that the Xu family would definitely send someone to pick them up, so he didn't bother his neck to grab this job. I heard my little grandson say that he ate the Buddha and jumped over the wall at noon, and he couldn't hold back his loud voice: "What?!" Your grandmother asked someone to make a Buddha and jump over the wall for you to eat? Where did she find the cook? This dish is not something that everyone can make, so don't think that you can stew it well once you have all the ingredients in the jar. You can't make a hotel without a little skill......"

Yuanyuan children's shoes grinned silently on the other end of the phone, "Grandpa, my grandma didn't hire a new chef, it's Sister Lian." She has been busy practicing for half a year. I stewed it for my grandma and grandpa two days ago, and they all said it tasted good, so I stewed it for us today. Grandma also said that when the eldest cousin's wedding is over, she will stew it for us to eat......"

"Where's that?" Old Man He almost jumped up from the recliner.

He also wanted to use this dish to deceive his eldest granddaughter-in-law...... cough cough cough, coax to the house, and then live with the eldest grandson for a few days, what are the two old man Xu doing! If you want to intercept the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law in his photo. But their eldest grandson got married the day after tomorrow, and the younger one has not yet graduated. What a lot of fun.

pacing back and forth with a cane a few times, he instructed his little grandson: "Yuanyuan, your eldest brother will come back tomorrow, after attending your eldest cousin's wedding, and there will be the Shi family's wedding wine to eat in a few days, so this trip has more than ten days of vacation, and you will find a way to let Weiwei live in our house." "Save the eldest grandson from running out all day long.

"Grandpa, Sister Weiwei is going to BGI to participate in the embroidery competition after drinking her eldest cousin's wedding wine, and she will live in the school apartment arranged by the organizer during the period."

"That's it......" The old man touched his beard, it's okay, it's better than living in the Xu family, so he said: "Then come to our house after the game, the Shi family's boy's wedding, she will definitely accompany Ah Qing to play." ”

It's time to let those people outside know that his eldest grandson has a partner, so that they don't have to come to him for tea at every turn.

If you just drink tea, you should do it, but it is all purposeful, and you are afraid of choking after drinking.

When he didn't know, Ah Qing's tasks in the past few years, every time he slipped out, it was a great achievement, if it weren't for the fact that he was a little lighter in his year, and the successive promotions were too eye-catching, not to mention that he was just a lieutenant colonel, a colonel and a major general could afford it. In the final analysis, he was wronged, and the pay and the gain were not proportional.

As a result, some people in individual seats couldn't sit still, afraid that the eldest grandson would be too angry to shake the chair under their buttocks, and openly and secretly wooed Ah Qing without success, so they tried to start with his life's events. Hum! Fortunately, the eldest grandson already has a favorite daughter-in-law candidate, otherwise, it would be a real headache.

The relationship between the same people who serve at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the military department, and the political circles is very intertwined, and it is always inappropriate to tear your face, but you can follow their wishes to introduce the eldest grandson to the girl he doesn't like, and he, the grandfather, is not happy, and he finally asks for a daughter-in-law, so he can't please someone he doesn't like, right? I can't get tired of seeing each other every day after that day. Therefore, taking advantage of the wedding of the Shi family, it is the most appropriate way to let the eldest grandson take the little girl out to make an appearance. Save those people from coming to him again for tea with ulterior motives.

After talking to his little grandson on the phone, Old Man He sat on the sofa with a cane and thought about it for a while, picked up the telephone at hand and dialed out a string of numbers, and as soon as the phone was connected, he shouted at the top of his voice: "When will you come back?" If you don't come back, your daughter-in-law will run away. ”

He Qingdong glanced at his phone, held back the twitches at the corners of his mouth, and said, "Grandpa, which one of you doesn't open your eyes is talking in your ear?" I told you that I would go back tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Hmph, just remember." The old man actually yelled at the eldest grandson by the way, and got a definite reply from the grandson, his face looked a lot better, and his tone was soft: "Your daughter-in-law and her brother lived in Yuanyuan's grandmother's house, you know this, right?" ”

"Yes."

"His grandmother also asked the cook to give them a whole Buddha jumping over the wall, even if it is noon today, do you know?"

“…… I don't know. ”

He Qingdong replied with a smile. Dare to love is the old man is jealous, he spent a lot of money to hire a cook, trained for half a year, but before he showed his skills, he was robbed by his own mother to offer treasure, poof, no wonder he called, and the co-author came to complain about grievances.

"Grandpa, in fact, Buddha jumping over the wall is such a heavy dish, it is not suitable to eat in summer, and it is even more inappropriate to eat it every day, isn't the new chef you invited also Hong Kong-style dim sum? Weiwei and they are here, just take this as a treat, I see that she usually likes small snacks, you can't be wrong with a little more preparation. As for the Buddha jumping over the wall, wait until I come back to Kyoto to study, and I don't have a hurry to raise autumn fat and make it for her to eat, Hengzhi is your appointed granddaughter-in-law, and she can't run. ”

With this sentence, he is relieved.

Old Man He smiled a few times, and then said with a straight face: "There is nothing on the Xu family's side, it is the wedding of the Shi family, what are your plans?" ”

"Shi Yuan and I have had a good relationship in the past two years, and we negotiated a business cooperation a while ago, so I can't see each other, just follow the Gu family to give gifts."

Old Man He raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Business cooperation? And Shi Yuan? What kind of business does that kid know! And you, I remember you obviously didn't like these......"

He Qingdong chuckled lowly and said, "Grandpa, I'm an adult anyway, I will marry a daughter-in-law in a short time, and I see if I can do this kind of thing to make money, how can I judge it by whether I like it or not, otherwise what will I do to support my family in the future?" ”

The old man is angry, and he can't support his family with the double salary of school officer and deputy team? Which daughter-in-law is so expensive?

Thinking that his little daughter-in-law was still in his favor, he silently swallowed back the words in his heart.

He Qingdong thought of Xiao Nizi's ability to make money, and the corners of his mouth raised a doting smile, not that his double salary couldn't support the family, but that Xiao Nizi was too good at making money. However, he will not detain her because of external things such as face, on the contrary, he will create a more stable life for her, so that she can do what she likes without worries.

As his thoughts flew, he heard the old man ask: "You and that kid from the Shi family join forces to do business, do you know about the Xu family?" ”

"Not only do I know, this cooperation case is the head they picked, Weiwei and I scraped together a million to occupy a small share, but grandpa, don't worry, it's not a shady business, have you heard of the ecological farm under construction in the western suburbs? That's it. ”

When he heard that it was an ecological farm, the old man was completely relieved. He heard the second and third children mention this matter, it was indeed the Xu family boy who picked the beam, and the second child also let Yao Nan probe the wind, but unfortunately he couldn't break into that circle after all. Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson, who has been absent from Kyoto for many years, is one of them.

The old man made up his mind, and his tone sounded a little more relaxed than just now: "When you come back, take your daughter-in-law to the house for dinner." ”

He Qing Dongguan Er. (To be continued......)
