Chapter 407 Husband and Wife Talk
Chen Junnan went on a business trip abroad for half a month, and when he returned home, he neither saw his son nor his father.
He handed the suitcase to a maid and asked Jiang Yingyue, "Where is Dad?" ”
Jiang Yingyue's face was long: "Dad has returned to the countryside to Graceland, saying that the air here is not as good as the countryside." ”
She said angrily: "We are here in Donghu Villa, a natural oxygen bar close to Jiangcheng, and East Lake, a five-A scenic spot, Dad said that the air is not good, this excuse is too bad."
I see that my dad just doesn't want to give me face, and he doesn't want to live with us~" After speaking, he pouted angrily.
Chen Junnan sat down on the sofa, frowned and said, "You women just love to think about the east and think about the west, and Dad can't have that mind."
Dad is old, you can live wherever you want, as long as he is happy. ”
Jiang Yingyue's face looked better: "It's because my father is old, so I want him to live with us, so that we can take care of him." ”
Chen Junnan took the coffee handed over by the maid and took a sip: "Dad is still strong now, why do we need to take care of him?"
When he is really old and can't move, he won't need you to ask for it, he will call us to pick him up and live with him. ”
Jiang Yingyue didn't complain anymore.
Chen Junnan asked: "What about that stinky boy Ziqian, who ran out to wave?"
I said that he was going to work hard this summer, so I hired so many teachers to tutor him with a high salary, and I didn't even see a single hair of him when I came back! ”
Jiang Yingyue took the opportunity to sue her son's black state: "When I mention him, I have a fire in my belly, and his grandfather supports him, and he is bold."
I transferred to another school without making a sound, and I was still studying in a key middle school that didn't enter the stream much! ”
Chen Junnan was stunned for a moment: "Which key middle school is not in the stream?" ”
"Huda High School."
Chen Junnan smiled slightly: "This middle school is not bad, why is it not in the stream?" ”
Jiang Yingyue was immediately unhappy: "Compared to the experimental middle school and the foreign Chinese school, what is this middle school?" ”
Chen Junnan persuaded earnestly: "You can't look at a mountain high.
What did you say before? The quality of teaching in the county No. 1 middle school is not good, and it would be nice if Ziqian could go back to study in the key middle school in the city.
Now your son is going back to the key middle school in the city to study as you wish, but you are still not happy, you think that the high school attached to Huda is not good enough, don't you have to look at Shu? ”
"I have to look at Shu?" Jiang Yingyue was a little excited, "If you knew that your son went to study at Huda High School for a classmate, you wouldn't have said that about me." ”
Then he added seriously: "I suspect that this classmate is a girl!" ”
As soon as Chen Junnan heard this, Bai Mengdie's chubby round face immediately flashed in his mind.
"You don't care who he goes to study in Huda High School for, as long as he no longer lives like before, but works hard to improve."
After a pause, he persuaded in a low voice: "Don't repeat the mistakes of the past, okay?"
This time my son can come out of the decadence, what about next time?
What if your son deliberately breaks the jar and goes against you next time? ”
Jiang Yingyue was speechless.
didn't have a good rest on the plane, Chen Junnan went upstairs to take a shower after drinking coffee and prepared to catch up on sleep.
But when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Jiang Yingyue sitting on the bed looking at him with a sad face.
He asked gently, "What bothers you?" ”
Jiang Yingyue hesitated for a long time before telling him that she had sent someone to follow Chen Ziqian and found that he was in close contact with a feminine-looking hairstylist.
The person who followed Chen Ziqian came back and told her that Chen Ziqian and the hairstylist stayed at least half an hour at a time when the door was closed.
Jiang Yingyue asked worriedly: "Junnan, shouldn't our son like a man?" ”
Chen Junnan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Since you are afraid that he will bend, then you have to give him space, don't care if he is so tight, you don't allow him to have normal interpersonal relationships, it will only make him more and more bent." ”
Jiang Yingyue heard this and thought thoughtfully.
……
Mother Hai went to the county No. 1 middle school the next day to inquire about Bai Jie's character, only to learn that her character was sparse, and when she came back, she scolded Haitao and didn't let him have any more dealings with her.
Hai Taoyang nodded and agreed.
Hai's mother asked Bai Jie's home address again, and Haitao shook his head like a rattle, saying that he didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't tell his mother.
He wants to protect the girl he loves.
Hai's mother asked someone to investigate whether Bai Jie's transfer to Huda High School was his husband's handiwork.
Hai Bajin had already arranged everything before her investigation, so the result of Hai's mother's investigation was that someone else from the White Lotus Trustee had taken her daughter to Huda High School.
Despite this, Hai's mother was still very unhappy, because her son's money was all cheated out by Bai Jie, and she couldn't get it back~
There are still a few days before the report, Bai Aiguo pinched his fingers and counted, the sweet potatoes were about to be harvested.
Anyway, the two children have nothing to do at home these two days.
Bai Aiguo gave Shi Lei money and asked him to take Bai Mengdie back to the countryside for two days, accompany the old man and the old lady, and ask a few helpers to collect the sweet potatoes by the way.
Early the next morning, the two brothers and sisters took a change of clothes and the gifts Tian Chunfang bought and took a long-distance bus to the countryside.
Because they took the first train, it was only eight o'clock when they arrived in town, and the brother and sister bought meat and pork ribs at the market and returned to Baijia Village.
The old lady's arm is half healed, and she is feeding pigs and sheep at home alone.
Seeing the snow leopard rushing out of the yard like an arrow from a string, and making a cheerful barking sound, he knew that someone was coming from the family, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Shi Lei's brother and sister.
When the old lady saw them, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and went up to help them with their things, and asked, "It's almost time to start school, why do you still have time to come?" ”
Bai Mengdie didn't let her take it, walked to the hall with Shi Lei, put the things on the dining table, and replied: "It's just that school is about to start before I have time to come back and stay for two days to accompany my grandparents." ”
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and the two children had been growing up with her old couple in the past.
Now that she has gone to the city, she is not used to it, she misses them very much, but she doesn't dare to say it, for fear that the two brothers and sisters of Bai Mengdie will miss her old couple if they know about it.
The old lady smiled and said: "Just digging sweet potatoes today, grandma roasted sweet potatoes for you to eat at noon, you loved to eat baked sweet potatoes when you were young, and you always asked your brother to bake for you, once caused a fire, your brother ran out with you on his back." ”
Bai Mengdie was not impressed at all, and touched her ears embarrassedly.
The old lady nodded her forehead: "Your brother has been so good to you since he was a child, and other people's brothers can't compare to him." ”
Shi Lei saw that Bai Mengdie was a little uncomfortable, and changed the topic with a light smile: "I came with Fluttershy for another purpose, which is to help grandpa harvest sweet potatoes." ”
He took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to the old lady: "This is the money that Dad asked Grandma to ask for a helper who digs sweet potatoes." ”
"What helper, please? Can't I work? Chen Ziqian's sweet voice sounded.
When everyone turned their heads to look at the courtyard gate, they saw him wearing a straw hat, a white T-shirt, cropped jeans and flip-flops.
Bai Mengdie smiled dumbly, this ordinary outfit was forced by this guy to wear a high-end feeling.
He is handsome and has a good figure, and he looks good in anything.
She asked in surprise, "Why did you come, or in this costume?" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "He came yesterday and said that he had nothing to do, and he helped your grandfather with his work all afternoon." ”
Bai Mengdie smiled and said to Chen Ziqian: "It just so happened that I bought meat and pork ribs, and I will make something for you to eat at noon." ”
Chen Ziqian said coquettishly: "I don't just want to eat meat, I also want to eat chicken." ”
The old lady hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go to the village and buy a big rooster for Fluttershy to braise for you." ”
Although he has chickens at home, he is reluctant to kill them.
Bai Mengdie took out two of the kelp she brought and soaked them in water, so that she could cook the kelp pork rib soup later.
Shi Lei went into the house to change his clothes for work and came out, and saw Chen Ziqian and Bai Mengdie squatting on the ground and meeting their heads on the stove, which was particularly difficult.
Walk over and ask them both to get out of the way, and he will make the stove in two clicks.
Bai Mengdie instructed him to scrape the ginger and asked Chen Ziqian to help cut the cleaned pork ribs into pieces.
After Chen Ziqian cut the ribs, she put the ribs in the pot and stir-fried them until they changed color, and then put them on the stove and simmered over medium heat.
Shi Lei saw that he was no longer needed, so he took a hoe and a burden to work in the fields, and Chen Ziqian was not willing to lag behind and followed closely behind.
Bai Mengdie was also going to follow, and the two boys stopped him.
Chen Ziqian said: "It's so hard to dig sweet potatoes, don't go with it." ”
Shi Lei said: "Now that the sun is strong, you are not afraid of drying off a layer of skin if you go with it, so you can stay at home and make lunch." ”
Bai Mengdie rolled her eyes and said, "It's just before 9:00, and you want me to make lunch, is it to make a full banquet for the Manchu and Han people?" ”
Shi Lei pointed to the pork rib soup stewed on the stove with his chin: "Don't you have to watch the stewed soup at home?" ”
"Grandma will watch it when she comes back after buying a big, so I don't need to look at it." Bai Mengdie put on a sun hat and took a backpack to go out with them.
The snow leopard also wanted to go out with them, but Bai Mengdie asked it to stay and watch the house, so it had to lie under the jujube tree to watch them leave.
When Bai Mengdie's three children came to the field, they found that the old man was not fighting alone, Tian Laohan and Tian Yongkang were helping the old man dig sweet potatoes.
Bai Mengdie was pleasantly surprised: "Grandpa, Yongkang, you are here, have you had breakfast?" ”
"I've eaten it." Tian Laohan replied with a smile.
Shi Lei and Chen Ziqian also followed.
Chen Ziqian followed Bai Mengdie's brother and sister to call Tian Laohan's grandfather, and Shi Lei, who provoked him, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and whispered: "They are not your grandfather, your name is so sweet." ”
Chen Ziqian raised his eyebrows: "Not now, it will definitely be in the future." ”
Shi Lei directly fried his hair: "You are not allowed to hit my sister's idea!" ”
Chen Ziqian looked at him sympathetically with mentally retarded eyes.
If he doesn't beat his sister's idea, will he beat his idea? He's not gay.
Bai Mengdie saw that Chen Ziqian and Shi Lei looked at each other unpleasantly, and hurriedly let them work.
Only by working will they not peck me and I peck you like a cockfight.
The three of them, except for Shi Lei, who is a good worker, Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian have never done much farm work.
So Shi Lei was responsible for turning the sweet potatoes out of the ground with a hoe, and Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian squatted on the ground to pick up the sweet potatoes into the basket.
Bai Mengdie asked Tian Laohan while working if their sweet potatoes had been harvested.
Tian Laohan said with a smile: "It's because my sweet potatoes have been harvested that I came to help your family." ”
After chatting a few words, everyone concentrated on their work.
It took Bai Mengdie's three children an hour to dig up half an acre of sweet potatoes.
Although she wore a sun hat, Bai Mengdie was still sunburned.
But this can barely be endured, what I can't bear is that squatting on the ground to pick up sweet potatoes, for a long time, my waist and legs are sore and painful, it's really miserable, no wonder they all say that being a farmer is hard.
Bai Mengdie stood up and beat her waist, and asked the old man: "Grandpa, how many acres of sweet potatoes do we have in our family?" ”
The old man also stopped, pointed to a large patch of sweet potatoes in front of him, and said, "This is all our family, there are five acres." ”
Bai Mengdie is about to kneel.
This is Hubei, the land of fish and rice, except that there is not enough food before 80 years, the local people will treat sweet potatoes as food, how many years have they been, they have long stopped eating sweet potatoes, but their family has grown so many sweet potatoes!
Bai Mengdie asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, why do you grow so many sweet potatoes, no one eats them, and they will rot after a long time." ”
The old man and the old man Tian both smiled: "Although we don't eat grains here, this sweet potato can be made into vermicelli, and many vermicelli workshops accept sweet potatoes!"
Sweet potatoes are not difficult to plant, and the yield per mu is high, and planting a few acres of sweet potatoes every year can easily enter thousands of yuan, why not plant? ”
Bai Mengdie was a little surprised in her heart, she had read an introduction to sweet potato vermicelli on the Internet in her previous life, saying that sweet potato vermicelli is a local specialty snack in Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hunan, Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places.
Obviously, Hubei also produces sweet potato vermicelli in large quantities, but it is not famous at all~
worked until eleven o'clock, and the old man didn't let Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian do it anymore.
Let Bai Mengdie go home to cook, saying that the dishes she made were delicious, let her cook a few good dishes, and treat her grandfather and cousin and Chen Ziqian well.
Chen Ziqian returned to Bai's house with a basket of sweet potatoes and Bai Mengdie, and the pork rib soup already exuded bursts of meaty aroma.
The snow leopard was lying on the stove and staring at Tang Jiaozi with a red tongue, and when he saw that they were back, he immediately became energetic and circled around Bai Mengdie.
Bai Mengdie asked the old lady if she had put the kelp in the pork rib soup.
The old lady shook her head: "Not yet, I'm afraid it's too early, and it's not delicious to cook too badly." ”
Then tell her that she had cooked mung bean soup and asked her to hold two bowls for her and Chen Ziqian to drink.
It's too hot, and it's too uncomfortable not to drink some mung bean soup to quench the fire.
Chen Ziqian was afraid that Bai Mengdie's hands would be burned, so he went to the kitchen and put two bowls of mung bean soup on the table to drink with Bai Mengdie.
Bai Mengdie scooped a few mouthfuls of mung bean soup with a small spoon and drank it, so that Chen Ziqian could also taste it.
Chen Ziqian did as she said, didn't find anything special, and looked at her with a blanket face.
Bai Mengdie drank the sweet mung bean soup and said, "I'm asking you to compare white sugar mung bean soup with brown sugar mung bean soup."
Is white sugar mung bean soup particularly cool? Brown sugar mung bean soup is too warm to drink in summer. ”
Chen Ziqian tasted it carefully, as if this was the case.
After drinking the mung bean soup, Bai Mengdie first cut the processed big rooster that the old lady bought from the villagers, blanched it in boiling water to get rid of the blood, and then fished it out and put it aside.
Add ginger, garlic and dried chili peppers to the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the blanched rooster into the pan and stir-fry to change color.
Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and cooking wine to continue stir-frying, then add boiling water to cover the chicken, cover the pot and simmer.
