Chapter 408: Grandpa Chen Arrives
Taking advantage of this time, Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian took the green vegetables and kelp that the old lady had selected to the pond to wash.
The snow leopard followed them.
The two kelps are both one or two meters long, and they are like two streamers floating in the pond.
After washing the dishes, the two were about to go home, when a woman who was washing clothes cried out: "Ah! The clothes are drifting away! ”
Seeing this, Bai Mengdie ordered the snow leopard: "Go and come back." ”
The snow leopard jumped into the water with a thud, and with a burst of dog gouging, swam to the garment, took it in its mouth, and swam back again.
The woman was very happy to get the clothes, and said to Bai Mengdie with a smile: "Your dog is really clever. ”
Bai Mengdie smiled and said perfunctory.
Back at home, Bai Mengdie first looked at the rooster in the pot, the water had not yet boiled to half dry, so she first cut the kelp into a diamond shape and added it to the pork rib soup.
Wait until the water in the braised rooster is half dry, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt, a little rock sugar, cook for a few more minutes, sprinkle with a little shallot, and put it on a plate.
When Bai Mengdie was making braised rooster, Chen Ziqian had been standing beside her, and the snow leopard was squatting at her feet.
As soon as the braised rooster came out of the pot, Chen Ziqian immediately picked up a chicken wing and gnawed it.
The snow leopard was not happy and barked at him, as if accusing him of stealing food.
Bai Mengdie threw the chicken head to the snow leopard, and the snow leopard hurriedly lowered his head to eat the chicken head.
Bai Mengdie began to make lunch.
After Chen Ziqian finished eating the chicken wings in his hand, he came to grab the braised rooster meat and eat it.
Bai Mengdie glanced at him: "Didn't eat early in the morning and came here?" ”
"After breakfast, your food is so delicious that you can't stop at all." Chen Ziqian ate happily.
Bai Mengdie asked him to finish eating the chicken wings, go and get a few sweet potatoes and throw them into the stove to roast the sweet potatoes, and he ate them.
Chen Ziqian happily complied.
Bai Mengdie made a bowl of tamales and a bowl of plum cabbage button meat from the meat she bought.
Then I used the small crucian carp that the Bai Sheng brothers caught by the way when they caught crayfish to make a braised crucian carp.
At this time, the sweet potatoes are baked, and the kitchen is filled with the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Chen Ziqian wanted to eat it, but he was afraid of fire, so he didn't dare to use tongs to fish the sweet potatoes out.
Bai Mengdie helped him fish out a few sweet potatoes from the stove and put them on the ground.
Then he was given a small spoon to dig into when he could eat the sweet potato.
Bai Mengdie saw it on the Internet in her previous life, saying that only Hubei in the country needs a small spoon to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
She still hasn't figured out how to eat roasted sweet potatoes without a small spoon?
Just bite with your mouth? It's not like it's all over the face.
Chen Ziqian sat in the yard with a few tissues holding a hot sweet potato to eat, and the snow leopard sat across from him and watched him eat.
Chen Ziqian finished eating a sweet potato, and threw the sweet potato skin into the pigsty with a shooting action, and the pig ate everything, and the sweet potato skin also ate.
As a result, the challenge failed.
So he ordered the snow leopard to pick up the sweet potato skin and throw it into the pigsty.
But the snow leopard glanced at him with disdain, and went to the kitchen.
Chen Ziqian said that he was speechless, and the dogs dared not to put him in his eyes.
Lunch had just been prepared, and there was the sound of a car stopping outside the courtyard gate.
The snow leopard rushed out first, screaming frantically, and as soon as he heard the sound, it was a living person.
Chen Ziqian ran out to take a look, it was no one else, it was his grandfather and Xiao Luo, both of whom were full of gifts.
Chen Ziqian was so surprised that his eyebrows flew to the heavenly spirit cover, and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here?" As he spoke, he took all the gifts from his grandfather's hand.
Grandpa Chen pointed at him with his fingers: "You still say!" You went to someone else's house to eat and drink spicy food, but you left your grandfather at home, what is your conscience? ”
When the old lady saw Chen Ziqian's grandfather coming, she was at a loss, and invited them to sit, and wanted to serve them mung bean soup, and scolded the snow leopard for not barking indiscriminately.
Chen Ziqian put all the gifts in his hand on the dining table, pulled the old lady away and said, "Grandma, the injury on your arm is not completely healed, you move less and rest more, I will entertain my grandfather." ”
Grandpa Chen waved his big hand: "No one has to entertain me, it's not that I can't take care of myself." ”
The old lady heard Bai Mengdie say that Grandpa Chen's status was precious, how dare she snub him, so she had to rush to the kitchen to wash his face for Grandpa Chen and Xiao Luo.
Bai Mengdie had already gone to the kitchen, scooped a basin of water out of the tank and put it on the side of the patio, and asked Grandpa Chen and Xiao Luo to wash their hands.
Grandpa Chen didn't have a shelf at all, squatted next to the basin and began to wash his face, and he was also doing homework with the old lady.
The old lady was thinking, with so many gifts, she had to prepare a few decent dishes.
But Grandpa Chen just pulled her and kept talking, and she couldn't get out, so she asked Bai Mengdie to go to the town to buy some ingredients.
Chen Ziqian saw the interaction between his grandparents and grandchildren, and said, "Grandma, there is no need to add more vegetables, there are fish and chicken, steamed pork and button meat, and pork rib soup...... Isn't that enough for my grandfather to eat? ”
When Grandpa Chen heard that there were a lot of dishes, he didn't let him add more dishes, but the old lady insisted on adding them.
Grandpa Chen said happily: "Then add a few peasant dishes." ”
It just so happened that there was a soy product seller outside who was pulling his throat and shouting.
Bai Mengdie went out with a large soup pot and bought tofu, yuba and edamame.
When Grandpa Chen saw it, he pointed to the edamame tofu and said, "I haven't eaten this for a long time." ”
Bai Mengdie didn't expect that he and her were like-minded people, and they both loved to eat this.
Bai Mengdie cooked a few bean dishes, and the old man and they also came back.
Seeing that Grandpa Chen came with a generous gift, the old man was surprised and excited, and shouted for Bai Aimin to go to the town to buy a few braised vegetables and come back.
Grandpa Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "I won't eat any other pickled vegetables except Fluttershy's pickled vegetables, if you don't want to go, just ask Fluttershy to send me pickled vegetables once a week." ”
The old man readily agreed.
Although all the food prepared at home is coarse tea and light rice, there are a lot of dishes.
The old man instructed Shi Lei to invite the second grandfather and the old couple of Bai to have a lively meal together.
Second Grandfather Bai and his wife were reluctant to disturb Shi Lei's family for dinner, so they refused to come, and finally were dragged by Shi Lei one by one.
The second grandfather and the old couple of Bai saw the old man and the old man, and said suddenly: "I am really embarrassed to always take care of your family and invite us to your house for dinner." ”
The old man put his old couple on the upper seat: "What's so embarrassing, I can't write two white characters in one stroke, your son is a martyr, and our Bai family should take care of you." ”
Grandpa Chen hurriedly asked Second Grandpa Bai how the son of the old couple died.
The old man said it roughly, but he didn't dare to say it in too much detail, for fear of arousing the sadness of the second grandfather and the old couple.
But I can't help but say it.
The second grandfather Bai and his family are old and can't do any work, but the government still gives so many subsidies.
He wanted Grandpa Chen to understand the plight of Grandpa Bai's second grandfather and his family, and see if he could say hello to him, make special arrangements, and increase their subsidies a little bit to make their lives better.
Grandpa Chen asked Grandpa Bai how the old couple lived.
The second grandfather Bai and his wife are too honest, and they say that their lives have gone by thanks to the government's care.
The old man put the kelp pork rib soup brought by Bai Mengdie and Li Yuhuan in front of the guests one by one, of course, put it in front of Grandpa Chen first.
"My second brother and sister-in-law have too low requirements for life, as long as they are not hungry, they are called good days.
What kind of life did the two of them live, they couldn't eat eggs once in ten days and a half months, let alone meat. ”
When Grandpa Chen heard this, he put the bowl of kelp pork rib soup in front of him in front of Grandma Bai and asked her to eat it first.
Second Grandma Bai was terrified, so she had to let Grandpa Chen eat first.
Grandpa Chen said kindly: "You are the mother of heroes, you deserve to be respected, you eat first." ”
The old man put another bowl of kelp pork rib soup in front of Grandpa Chen, and said to the second grandmother Bai with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you can eat, the chief has it." ”
Bai Er's grandmother didn't dare to move the chopsticks, and waited for Grandpa Chen to move the chopsticks before everyone followed suit.
Grandpa Chen is approachable, although everyone is a little restrained at first, but they all relax while eating and drinking, talking and laughing.
Bai Mengdie considered that Grandpa Chen liked to eat edamame, so he deliberately put the plate of fried golden edamame tofu in front of him.
Grandpa Chen took a sip of edamame tofu and a sip of wine, with a happy face.
Bai Mengdie also sandwiched a piece of edamame tofu for Chen Ziqian to taste.
She really thinks it's delicious, and she really wants to share it with Chen Ziqian every time she eats it.
Chen Ziqian covered his nose, with the expression of Tang Seng seeing the ginseng fruit for the first time, and waved his hand again and again: "Take it, take it." ”
Bai Mengdie wanted to put it in his bowl: "You taste it, it's really delicious." ”
Chen Ziqian saw her looking at him expectantly, so he reluctantly picked up the piece of edamame tofu and prepared to taste it.
But before he could reach his mouth, he retched.
Bai Mengdie saw that he really couldn't eat edamame tofu, so he took it over and ate it himself.
Shi Lei sat opposite them, watching them interact expressionlessly, but his heart was like drinking a jar of vinegar, and everything he ate was sour.
After eating, Grandpa Chen and the old man talked to them for a while before leaving.
The old man wanted to bring him some local products back, but he didn't, and said with a smile that all the rice and oil he eats now belong to his family.
The old man didn't insist on giving it.
The family sent Grandpa Chen out of the yard and watched him get into the car.
Grandpa Chen let them in, and said with a smile that he would come to play often in the future, just don't hate him then.
The old man smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest, how can we hate you, we will only raise your hands and feet to welcome you to play." ”
watched Grandpa Chen's car disappear before everyone returned to the yard.
The old man considered that the second grandfather Bai and his family were old and easily tired, so he asked Bai Sheng and the two brothers to send them back to rest.
They also have to take a nap and get to work in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, except for the old lady who was doing the housework at home, everyone went to the field to dig sweet potatoes.
Bai Mengdie was not used to farm work, and after an hour of work, she couldn't hold on, and she sat on the ridge and didn't want to get up.
Tian Laohan looked at her lovingly, and said with a kind smile: "In the end, a child who has never done any farm work, he can't stand it." ”
Tian Yongkang glanced at Bai Mengdie while working, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Sister Fluttershy, you can't sit immediately when you're tired, you have to stand, otherwise your butt will grow and it will affect your heart." ”
The corners of Bai Mengdie's mouth twitched and stood up, slandering in her heart, what kind of ass do you have to mention? It's embarrassing, okay?
Although she was very tired, Bai Mengdie still insisted on working until six o'clock before going home, feeling tired and about to fall apart.
The old lady went to the town in the afternoon to buy ingredients and asked Bai Mengdie to cook a few dishes that her grandfather and cousin loved to eat.
His grandparents and grandchildren came to their house to help with the work, and they should be treated with a grand treat, but when Grandpa Chen came at noon, he didn't take care of his grandparents and grandchildren, and made a delicious meal in the evening to make up for it.
Bai Mengdie made a table of delicacies, and as soon as the last dish came out of the pot, the old man and the others came back with Tian Laohan's ancestors and grandchildren.
Tian Laohan said to the old lady very embarrassedly: "I have already eaten at your house at noon, and now I am left by you to eat." ”
The old lady said angrily: "Why don't you say that your grandparents and grandchildren have worked hard for our family and eaten two meals?" ”
Everyone sat down to eat together.
Today, Grandpa Chen came to make a big deal, not only gave ginseng bird's nest and various high-grade supplements, but also two bottles of Moutai.
The old man asked the old lady to take a bottle of Moutai out and poured a full cup for Tian Laohan: "I neglected my brother at noon, and now I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and take the Moutai sent by the old chief to make amends for your sins." ”
Tian Laohan hurriedly stood up, respectfully asked the old man to pour him wine with a wine glass, and said, "We don't talk about this among our relatives. ”
The two old men drank two glasses of Moutai wine each and then stopped drinking, and the old lady went back to the room with more wine.
As for the other men in the family, they could only smell it, and none of them could take a sip.
The old man wanted Chen Ziqian to take two sips, but Chen Ziqian was not interested in drinking, so he waved his hand and refused.
The old man didn't force it, he actually didn't approve of people drinking alcohol, for fear of drinking his head and not being smart in reading.
But because Chen Ziqian was a distinguished guest, he persuaded him to say so much.
After dinner, Tian Laohan's ancestors and grandchildren were about to say goodbye and go home.
Bai Mengdie hurriedly asked the old lady to bring back the gift that Tian Chunfang had prepared for their family.
The honest Tian Laohan was even more embarrassed, and he said that he ate and took it.
The old man said: "We didn't buy these things, but your daughter and son-in-law bought them for you, why did you eat and take them?" ”
Seeing off Tian Laohan's ancestors and grandchildren, Bai Mengdie saw that it was not too early and wanted Chen Ziqian to ride Bai Sheng's bicycle back to the county seat.
Their family's accommodation conditions are not as good as those in the county's Grace Garden, and Bai Mengdie is afraid that he will be wronged.
Chen Ziqian didn't care: "It's not that I haven't spent the night at your house, I think it's good, where is the grievance." ”
Since Chen Gongzi feels that he is not wronged, then stay.
As soon as Shi Lei returned to his hometown, he wanted to ask if his admission notice had come, but he had always kept it in mind, but he had always forgotten to ask.
I didn't think about it until I took a shower, and asked the old man if he had received his admission letter.
At that time, he filled in the address of the old man, so the admission notice should be sent to the old man's house.
The old man shook the fan and nodded: "It's been a few days, but now that the autumn harvest has begun, I don't have time to send it to the town to be framed."
Tomorrow let your grandmother send it to town to frame it and hang it on the wall, so that no one will say that you didn't get into college. ”
