199, May Day holiday
"Grandma, grandpa, we're back!" It's still the call to enter the house before entering the door.
"Ouch, it's Xiao Chen, they're back." Li Yuedi and the others went out to greet them with a smile.
Today's Li family is particularly lively, for no other reason, because the Li family's new house is completed, and they will move in in the next few days. No, the men who were good friends with the Li family came over to discuss the banquet with Li Bangguo and others.
Li Yuedi and the others went out, and when they saw that Jiang Rong was also here, they greeted each other with a smile, and Li Weiye stepped forward to pull Jiang Rong into the house.
Jiang Rong waved his hand and said, "I won't bother you to discuss today, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Li Weiye didn't force it when he heard this, he was going to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow, and the family was too busy, and Jiang Rong probably couldn't greet him.
Jiang Rong opened the trunk of the car and said to Li Weiye and a few strong men: "You can move these drinks into the house." ”
Li Weimao stepped forward to see that there were more than a dozen boxes, and said embarrassedly: "Why do you still bring so many drinks when you come." ”
Jiang Rong sneered when he heard this, "I didn't buy these drinks. ”
"You didn't buy it?" Now Li Weimao and others don't understand.
Li Ji, who was carrying a drink on the side, muttered: "Xiao Chen bought it with her scholarship, and the whole five hundred yuan became these dozen boxes of drinks." ”
"More than five hundred!" Li Weimao and the others were shocked, "What award did Xiao Chen win?" Can you get a scholarship of 500 dollars? ”
Li Ji replied in a bland mood, "Last semester's final exam score was the first in the whole level." ”
"First in grade! This is not something that ordinary people can get! The villagers who came to Li's house to help couldn't help but marvel and praised Lin Zichen one after another.
When the Li family heard this, their faces showed a look of pride.
Just looking at the dozen boxes of drinks on the ground, Li Weiye was a little distressed, "Xiao Chen." This is your own scholarship, why don't you keep it for yourself, drink or something, just buy it at home. “
Lin Zichen replied nonchalantly: "Since the five hundred yuan is my own, of course I will distribute it myself, and besides, I have bought all the drinks, you can't let me send them back." ”
"Okay, since Xiao Chen bought drinks, then you don't have to buy drinks tomorrow." Li Bangguo spoke. The crowd was speechless. Bend down and carry the drink home.
The men of the Li family discussed in the living room the various items needed for the banquet, while the women scrubbed the tables and chairs for the banquet in the courtyard.
Lin Zichen watched his family scrub the tables and chairs while eating, and sighed: "It's better to go home!" ”
Li Weiyan glanced at her daughter with a sneer. "Speaking of which, it's been more than a month since you went home this time, and it just happened to be a holiday, so you can stay at home for a few more days."
Ye Xiaoyu on the side also responded: "Yes, there have been a lot of changes in the village in the past month or so." You didn't notice when you walked in the door. ”
"Really?" She really didn't notice, "Then I'll go out for a walk after dinner." ”
"Go, go, go. You don't have to worry about things at home, just go out and relax during the holidays. Li Yuedi said with a smile.
Lin Zichen nodded and sped up his meal.
"Xiaoxi, are you free? Do you want to accompany your sister to the village for a walk? Lin Zichen knocked on Lin Zixi's door.
Lin Zixi, who was doing exercises in the room, looked up. looked at Lin Zichen apologetically, "Sister, I'm doing exercises." There will be a lot of people in the family these days, and I want to finish the exercises as soon as possible. Then you can help. ”
When Lin Zichen heard this, he felt relieved, and reached out to touch Lin Zixi's head, but was avoided, "Since you want to do the exercises, let's do it slowly, and my sister will go out alone." Then he took out a big apple from behind him and handed it to Lin Zixi, "Reward you with a big apple, don't be discovered by the fourth brother." ”
"Hmm." Lin Zixi happily hid the apple.
Lin Zichen walked out of the house alone, and as soon as he left the house, he was greeted by a fenced vegetable garden not far away.
"The vegetables in the vegetable base have grown!" Lin Zichen said in surprise and walked quickly towards the vegetable field.
More than a dozen acres of fields are planted with vegetables, and the lush green looks particularly attractive.
Lin Zichen took a closer look and found that the vegetation by the river was much more vibrant, and he understood that the transparent stone he had thrown at the source of the river before had worked.
Lin Zichen thought about when he would go to the source again, but he didn't have much time now.
After looking at the vegetable base, Lin Zichen turned around and found that many trees on the mountain behind the house had been cut down, and after a closer look, he found that orange trees had been planted.
"Oranges have also been planted, and what a big change has occurred this month!" Lin Zichen exclaimed.
The matter of the vegetable base is going on step by step, and the matter of the orange grove is also going on slowly. All of them are developing in the direction that Lin Zichen expects, making Lin Zichen very much looking forward to greater changes in Fenghezhuang.
All members of the Li family went out to prepare for the banquet in the new house.
coincided with the May Day holiday, and Li Yu, Li Hua and others also returned.
Li Ge was the last to come back, and to the surprise of the Li family, Murong Kuo and Tang Yan also came back together, not only that, but they were followed by two middle-aged people, who were introduced by Murong Kuo and found out that they were his two sons.
"Boss, move everything I have prepared into the house." Murong Kuo unceremoniously instructed his two sons to work.
Li Yuedi and the others hurriedly stopped, "Ouch, let's do all this rough work, Wei Ye, Wei Mao, you two quickly move the things brought by Brother Murong into the house." Greet the guests into the house, old man. ”
When Murong Kuo heard this, he immediately put on an unhappy face, "Sister, you don't treat me as a family anymore, since you call me brother, then my son is not also your family." ”
"This." Li Yuedi looked at Li Bangguo in embarrassment.
It was Tang Yan's husband, the second son of the Murong family who broke the deadlock first, "Auntie, I am Ah Yan's husband and Murong Jie, the second son of the Murong family, we are here this time to experience the life of the countryside, you don't have to be so polite to us, otherwise my father will punish us for kneeling in the study when we go back." ”
Murong Jie's words not only broke the deadlock, but also made everyone laugh, and the original sense of rustiness also dissipated.
Murong Kuo glanced at his second son, "Count your kid who can speak." ”
Murong Jie smiled happily and gave his eldest brother Murong Jun a look.
Murong Jun was speechless. He will follow Fenghezhuang this time to see the bottle of rice wine that his brother brought him during the Spring Festival.
obediently moved all the things in the car into the house, and the Li family was busy again.
Li Yuedi looked at the two brothers of the Murong family apologetically, and wanted Li Weiye to accompany her, but Murong Kuo said, "It's all your own family, so you don't have to worry about them, you can be busy with whatever you should do." So he left the two brothers in the living room.
As soon as Murong Kuo returned to Li's house, his muscles and bones were moving. followed Li Bangguo to be busy with this and that. Even Tang Yan followed Liang Xiaomei and others to wash vegetables in the yard.
The Murong brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"We're going to drink the wine this time." Murong Jun sat down on a chair and poured himself a glass of water with an unfamiliar large teapot.
Murong Jie touched his nose in disdain. "Didn't I hear my dad say that he came to drink the wedding wine! Otherwise, I'll pick another time. ”
Murong Jun sighed, "If you pick another time, you can only wait until the Spring Festival, I can't wait so long." ”
"Then you better bear with me, you can always find a chance to talk to them." Murong Jie said optimistically.
"Hmm." Murong Jun replied lightly. Didn't say anything more.
So the two brothers were relatively silent, and the scene was suddenly eerily quiet.
"Two Uncle Murong. Eat some fruit. Lin Zichen came out with a plate of apples.
Of course, the dishes on the plate were all ordinary apples, and before confirming the conduct of the two, Lin Zichen was reluctant to entertain the two with the spirit fruit of the space, even if the two were Murong Kuo's sons.
"Thank you." The two thanked each other softly. Didn't eat the apple directly.
Lin Zichen put down the apple, picked up the teapot on the table and went to make tea for the two of them.
The tea is made of good tea brought by Murong Kuo, and the water used to make tea is the well water at home.
Lin Zichen just poured the tea. The two of them smelled a refreshing fragrance.
"What kind of tea is this?" Murong Jun asked curiously, picked up the tea on the table and sent it to the tip of his nose to sniff lightly.
"Grandpa Murong brought it. I heard that it was oolong tea. Lin Zichen pretended to be a layman and said.
"Oolong tea? Why is it different from what we drink at home, is it my father's own private collection? Murong Jie took a sip and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Murong Jun glanced at his younger brother, "Dad's tea leaves were all sent by the two of us, I don't remember that I sent such a good oolong tea." ”
"That's right, but the tea I sent is not so good." Murong Jie was surprised.
Lin Zichen on the side heard this, and answered with a smile, "It is estimated that our environment here is good, not only the water is sweet, but even the vegetables planted are better than those bought in the city, I don't believe that the two uncles can taste our own vegetables later, and Grandpa Murong also said that it is delicious." ”
The two Murong brothers nodded, but they were a little unconvinced in their hearts.
Lin Zichen didn't say anything when he saw the obvious disbelief expressions of the two, poured tea for the two and walked away.
"Ready to eat, Wei Ye, Wei Mao, quickly move the table to the courtyard." Li Bangguo in the kitchen shouted.
"Eh, got it!" The two brothers Li Weiye responded in unison, and Lin Qingxiang began to move tables and chairs.
There were a lot of people who came to help, plus their own families, and a total of three tables were set up in the courtyard.
The people of the Murong family and the Li family sat at the same table, and as soon as the dishes were served, Murong Kuo couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks to one of the plates of green vegetables.
Seeing this, Li Ge's face was full of black lines, "Master, you slow down, no one will rob you." ”
Tang Yan is okay, she has seen Murong Kuo's demeanor before, but the brothers of the Murong family were stunned, and asked the old man in front of him or his own strict father?
Murong Kuocai didn't have the time to pay attention to what the mood of his two sons was, he had now completely focused on the dishes on the table, for fear that if the chopsticks were one step slower, there would be no good food.
Tang Yan and Murong Jie had tasted the green vegetables grown by the Li family before, and as soon as the dishes were served, Tang Yan also stretched out the chopsticks to the plate like Murong Kuo.
Murong Jie was also stunned for a while, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks under the urging of his wife's eyes. (To be continued) R466
