"Huh?" Ji Ran was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Aunt Lin to be able to justify herself, but she saved herself a lot of effort to explain.

"Hehe, it's... Yes, my parents were afraid that I would be bullied, so they dressed me up as a boy. Ji Ran smiled shyly and said.

"Ranran, this is the seafood that Auntie just bought from the seafood market, it's still fresh, come, give you some." Aunt Lin said, handing two large sea crabs and a bag of Jiwei shrimp to Ji Ran.

Where is Ji Ran embarrassed to ask for it?

Although the two families are neighbors to the door, they rarely communicate with each other, that is, when they meet occasionally, they will just say hello.

Now that people are giving you so much seafood for no reason, where is Ji Ran embarrassed to reach out and take it?

"Thank you, Auntie, no need, I just ate it a few days ago." Ji Ran smiled and said.

"Oh, take it, this Jiwei shrimp is good, big, high nutritional value, and, it's all alive, go home and wash it with some salt water, then pour a pot of water, boil it for seven or eight years, or use eggs and dry flour to make a batter, wrap the Jiwei shrimp in batter and fry it in an oil pan, it tastes very good." Aunt Lin explained very enthusiastically, as if she was very interested in cooking.

"This is the pike crab, after going home, drive directly to the steamer, steam on high heat for about ten minutes, look at the crab shell is red, you can eat, if you can't stand the smell of the sea, you can cut some minced garlic and put it in the seafood vinegar, dip it in vinegar to eat, the taste is fragrant, no worse than hairy crabs." Aunt Lin explained with a smile.

Ji Ran looked at Aunt Lin so enthusiastically, if she insisted on not wanting to, she was afraid that she would not have enough respect for others, so she had to reluctantly accept it.

"Thank you, Auntie." Ji Ran thanked embarrassedly.

"Oh, what's the politeness? They're all neighbors. Aunt Lin said with a smile, as if the two families were very close.

"You can't use this vinegar, this is rice vinegar, come, use this, seafood vinegar and oyster sauce, specially mixed with seafood to eat." Aunt Lin took out a bottle of seafood vinegar and oyster sauce from the bag and handed it to Ji Ran.

"Auntie, no need, I'm almost embarrassed." Ji Ran's face was flushed, and he said with some embarrassment.

Looking at Ji Ran's shy answer, Aunt Lin was even happier in her heart, this little girl's shy appearance is really cute.

"It's okay, I have time to come and play at home." Aunt Lin sent Ji Ran to the door and said to Ji Ran with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Auntie." Ji Ran smiled and nodded, turned around and went back to his room.

Ji Ran returned to the room, and Ji's mother looked at her holding a lot of things in her hands, especially two big crabs in her right hand, and a lot of prawns, and felt even more strange.

"Asked you to buy steamed buns and vinegar, how did you go to buy seafood?" Mother Ji asked strangely.

"Oops, isn't this steamed bread and vinegar?" Ji Ran put the steamed buns and vinegar he bought on the table.

"And where did all this seafood come from?" Mother Ji pointed to the big crab and prawn in Ji Ran's hand and asked.

"It was sent to the aunt at the door, as well as seafood vinegar and oyster sauce, which were also given by her." Ji Ran pointed in the direction of the door and said.

"The neighbor gave it to you? Why did you give it to you? Mother Ji stretched out her hand to take the seafood in Ji Ran's hand, picked up the two big crabs and looked at them, this big crab is really not small, and it is still alive, and the crab's mouth is still spitting bubbles.

"It's such a big one, you get a lot of money, right?" Mother Ji looked at these seafood and felt a little extravagant, if it was herself, she would be reluctant to buy such a large seafood.

"I don't know, Aunt Lin suddenly became so enthusiastic, maybe she encountered something happy, right?" Ji Ran thought for a while and said.

"Hey... You are a child, too, you want people to give you things, and you don't ask what the reason is, there must be something behind this. Mother Ji thought for a while and said.

"Oh, Aunt Lin is so tight, I can't do it if I want to, what can I do?" Ji Ran pouted helplessly and said.

"Okay, let's not do anything else yet, let's eat this seafood first." Mother Ji said as she brought the seafood into the kitchen.

"Mom, just put the big crab on the steamer and steam it, wash the Jiwei shrimp, get some egg batter, and fry it in oil, it's even more delicious." Ji Ran explained to Ji's mother.

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat, snack one." Mother Ji rolled her eyes and said with a sneer.

Since Ji Ran accepted the seafood sent by Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin would send something over every once in a while, and the number of visits to the door has also increased significantly.

At first, I thought that people wanted to improve the relationship between the neighbors, but as the number of visits increased, and the gifts given by Aunt Lin became more and more valuable, Ji's father and Ji's mother couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Isn't it a little weird that you're talking about the right door these days?" Father Ji took a sip of wine, looked at Mother Ji and asked.

"Well, I also think it's a little weird, I've never seen her so enthusiastic on weekdays? It's a bit too zealous now, isn't it? Mother Ji thought for a while and said.

"Look at these wines, they are all some expensive high-end wines, I went to the supermarket yesterday to take a look, just a bottle of this foreign wine is hundreds of yuan, why do you say she gave us such a valuable gift?" Father Ji thought suspiciously.

"Huh? Isn't it for our family? You see that every time she comes, Ran Ran's eyes are a little wrong, could it be for her son's business? Mother Ji asked suspiciously.

Dad Ji thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

Every time Chen Meifeng [Aunt Lin] comes to the house as a guest, her eyes will always look at Ji Ran from time to time, and that kind of favorite look is definitely not the ordinary elders' liking for the younger generations, but more like the feeling that the prospective mother-in-law falls in love with her daughter-in-law.

Now that Ji Ran is eighteen years old, she has become a slim and beautiful girl, maybe Chen Meifeng wants to book this family affair for her son in advance, right?

Thinking of this, the faces of Ji's father and Ji's mother instantly became solemn.

I received so many gifts from others before, and the sum of the front and back is 10,000 pieces, as the saying goes, eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's hands short, this eats and takes, in case people speak, how can you be embarrassed to refuse?

"Oh, I said wife, why do you dare to accept anything? You said that we received so many gifts from others, in case people really came to our family, how can we say that we will refuse when the time comes? Father Ji complained a little angrily.

"What do you still say about me? Did I collect this thing alone? Who collects these wines? As soon as something goes wrong, shirk the responsibility and pluck yourself as a clean person, what kind of virtue? Mother Ji rolled her eyes and said.

The two were arguing when suddenly, there was a familiar knock on the door.

"Big brother? Sister-in-law? At home? Chen Meifeng stood at the door and shouted.

Thank you for the big reward of "Bai Jiu Fat" and "Little Tiger", thank you for your support and encouragement, and the shell will always love you ^_^
