Jun Hao was also quite depressed when he heard her say this, he didn't care about this, and Bee Qian, the second sister-in-law, was too uninteresting. What is the matter with people bringing things to their parents back to their parents' house?

If you really want honey, even if you bring a canned bottle, Zhang Qian will not refuse. Make a big porcelain jar, this is simply a big eater, do you really think that the soil honey is like the rotten cabbage leaves in the vegetable market, how much does it cost?

But when he was depressed, he really couldn't think of any good way, if it was a stranger, you could completely ignore it, when this person didn't exist. But Zhang Qian's second sister-in-law is still a relative after all, if she really comes, you can't entertain or not, you can't drive people away.

Fortunately, there is only such a superb person in her family, and if there are a few more Liu Junhao, I am really afraid that I will not be able to bear it. still do as Zhang Qian said, and don't give her a good face when she comes, otherwise she will really kick her nose in the face.

Zhang Qian came back early this time and another thing was that her parents were going to Liujiagou in the next few days, and she was afraid that Liu Junhao's arrangements would not be inappropriate, so she rushed back early.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about, Zhang's mother has already been here once, and she is quite familiar with Liu Junhao's family.

However, the meaning of the two visits is different, last time it was mainly a son-in-law, and this time it was to discuss the marriage of the two. Zhang's mother is a decisive person, and after determining that Liu Junhao is her son-in-law, she secretly urged the two to get married. She has not been idle at home for the past few days, and led her daughter to the temple in the city and the hexagram stall on the side of the road.

Zhang Qian didn't believe in this thing before, but she was still a little nervous when it was her turn, and she was also fiddling with her mother's temperament.

But fortunately, there is nothing incompatible between the two people.

In the past, when they were in the dormitory, several sisters had privately discussed that no one should marry under the age of thirty. It seems that her age is not very old, Zhang Qian is very suspicious that her mother can't wait to marry her.

In fact, this is the difference in thinking between young people and elders. Older people always want their children to settle down sooner. This will give them less to worry about.

"That's right. My mom told us not to forget. Buy a pair of shoes for Uncle Zhao and Aunt Wang. ”

"What are you doing with shoes? There's no shortage of people, right? Liu Junhao was very confused.

"Of course, it's a thank you gift to the matchmaker. You don't even understand this. "The two had discussed it before. Both the matchmaker and the elders asked Professor Zhao and his wife to serve as the matchmakers.

"How can there be a place to send shoes to a matchmaker. We all send pork, fruit, wine, and sugar here. This is called the four-color ceremony. ”

I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run. Liu Junhao still knows a lot about the customs of his hometown. They are very particular about giving the matchmaker a four-color gift here. The pork must be cut into forty or fifty centimeter strips. It's called salutation. Fruit and sugar should be used in bulk. Wrap it in that kind of kraft paper at the end. There is also a red word on it. Now there is no bulk white sugar land for sale. When people give gifts, they go to the store to buy white sugar, re-tear it and wrap it in paper.

"Pork" Zhang Qian was also puzzled when she heard it, and she didn't know what to send. It's really three miles away, and the customs are very different.

Things should be done sooner rather than later, the parents will come in two days, and the matchmaker's affairs must of course be arranged in advance. As soon as she got home, she immediately called her mother, but Zhang's mother solved it with a sentence of "follow the local customs".

So the next day they went to the street early to buy four-color gifts, in fact, these are very ordinary things, and it doesn't take much trouble to buy.

Zhang Qian saw that people weighed the fruit before asking in a low voice, "How did you eat this fruit?" ”

Yesterday, when she heard Liu Junhao say that she was going to send fruit, she was still a little surprised, why is it popular here to send fritters to matchmakers, who knew that when she came to the street, she knew that the fruit was of this shape. It looks crooked like a crescent moon, bulging to the touch, and a layer of hoarfrost is attached to the surface.

"Just put it in your mouth and eat it, girl, you pinch one and taste it, it's delicious." The woman who sold the fruit said with a smile.

Zhang Qian listened to her words, carefully pinched one out of the wooden basin, put it in her mouth and took a bite, and the mucus immediately flowed down the corner of her mouth.

"Give me facial tissues, facial tissues!" Zhang Qian hurriedly shouted, she didn't expect that this fruit was filled with something else.

"The first time I ate it, it was like this, there was syrup in it," Liu Junhao smiled and handed over the tissue.

After taking the second bite, Zhang Qian became careful. This fruit tastes sweet and silky, smooth and greasy, and there is a chill in the stomach. Especially the layer of hoarfrost on the surface, which rustles in the mouth and is very refreshing.

"It's delicious, let's buy some to eat at home, shall we?" I only ate one, and she liked it immediately. She has been in Liujiagou for more than a year, and it is the first time she has seen such a thing as fruit.

In fact, this is not surprising, the fruit was originally used by relatives during the New Year's holidays. Now people are not so particular about the New Year, and relatives generally use tobacco and alcohol instead, and this fruit stall is slowly declining. Now there is such a fruit seller in the town, and it is still on the edge of the residential area. Zhang Qian every time

Wander around the two main streets and where will you notice this little stall.

"What is this fruit made of?" Her mouth didn't stop all the way, pinching out a taste from the paper bag from time to time, and now she feels like she has a sweet taste when she breathes.

"The ingredients are simple, that is, syrup, flour, and peanut oil, which are basically the ...... of these things" Liu Junhao knows the main ingredients, but he can't make it.

"But...... How does this syrup get into the fruit, shouldn't it be like making dumplings, pouring them one by one" Zhang Qian heard him say this, but she was even more confused. It doesn't look like it on the surface, but it's full of syrup, and I really don't know how it was poured in.

"I can't tell you about this, probably not" Syrup is a liquid, and it is impossible to wrap it as smoothly as dumpling filling.

Liu Junhao rode in front and didn't pay attention, and when he stopped at the entrance of the village, he realized that the bag of fruit had been eaten by Zhang Qian for nearly half of it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly took down the paper bag, which was easy to indigestion if he ate too much.

Zhang Qian originally wanted to eat, but when he said this, he realized that he seemed to be really full, and now he didn't feel hungry at all.

As soon as they arrived home, before the car stopped, Haoyu and Tongtong caught up and shouted for Liu Junhao to lead them to see the puppies, and the little ones had already opened their eyes.

"Really?" Zhang Qian was also overjoyed, and hurriedly put her head in front of the kennel.

I saw a few fat puppies snorting and chirping inside, and tried to crawl out of the kennel several times, but they were caught back by the panther with their mouths.

Their eyes followed the panthers, and their big black eyes flickered as they looked at the few people outside, as if they were curious about everything.

It's also a strange thing to say, Xiaopi and his family seem to know that Zhang Qian is the future owner of this family, so they treat her the same as Liu Junhao.

The two little guys were also greedy when they saw Zhang Qian teasing the puppy affectionately, and they had to step forward to touch it. However, Xiaopi didn't give face, as soon as they stretched out their hands, they immediately began to whine.

"Don't look at it, hurry up and move things" Liu Junhao looked at it for a while before remembering the matter, put the four-color ceremony in the embroidery basket and lined it up, covered it with a layer of red cloth, and then went out with it.

It was less than fifty steps from his courtyard to Professor Zhao's house, and it took less than a minute to walk.

"Xiao Hao, what good things did you buy on the street today, and you deliberately wrapped them in red cloth?" Teacher Wang was washing clothes in the yard when he saw the two of them coming over and hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Zhao hurriedly came up to pick it up, we are here to visit relatives." Liu Junhao said with a smile.

"Relatives?" Professor Zhao thought it was a joke. When he lifted the corner of the red cloth slightly, he saw the long strip of pork inside and knew that it was real.

The two of them are quite confused, now it is neither the New Year nor the festival, which relatives are they going.

Under Liu Junhao's twisted narration, Professor Zhao and Teacher Wang glanced at each other and understood that their feelings were a thank you matchmaker.

As soon as the gift was accepted, Tongtong and Xiao Haoyu were interested in the things under the paper package, and they all wanted to see what was inside. Soon the fruit was opened by them, and one of them took a paper bag and tasted it.

Naturally, they ate here at noon, and during the banquet, Liu Junhao told them about inviting the two of them to be elders, and Professor Zhao naturally agreed.

After eating, he didn't sit down long, and made a large pot of leftovers for the panther to bring.

As soon as the panther began to eat, several puppies were relieved and slipped out of the kennel one by one with a whining and whining.

They are interested in everything, and they have to lower their heads and sniff almost every two steps.

Liu Junhao looked at them for a while and didn't care about them anymore. I believe that with Xiaopi taking care of it, there will definitely be no accident.

People are easy to get sleepy when they are full, so they take this opportunity to lie down in the hammock and rest for a while.

I drank a little less porridge just now, and my lips began to dry after a while. The hammock was so comfortable that Liu Junhao was too lazy to get up and pour tea, so he simply opened the space and saw what was there to quench his thirst.

He thought about it, but only the lotus pod could be eaten, so he pulled a bowl of big lotus pods in the spring water and ate it deliciously.

I had just eaten a few of them, and I felt that my big feet were itchy, as if something was licking them.

When I turned my head, I didn't know when the yellow puppy came running.

This thing can't be eaten for you, Liu Junhao hurriedly retracted his feet.

Who knew that the little guy immediately became interested in his slippers again, opened his toothless little mouth and pouted, and ran towards the kennel with a click.

Good guy, not only does it look the most like a little skin, but even the habit of shoeing is genetic.

Liu Junhao was busy picking up the little dog barefoot, and finally took off the shoes, and the little guy actually barked at himself with "Wangwang", which is very fatherly
