Chapter 44: New Year's Gift
Father Ji glanced at the New Year's gifts that Ye Shoujun brought over - wine, toffee, chicken cakes, tea, meat, and canned food; Unexpectedly, seeing such a New Year's gift, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ye Shoujun meaningfully - it seems that he still has some ability.
Ye Shoujun couldn't help it, two things were too few, and four things didn't sound good, so he did everything possible to make up six things.
He was very polite and said to the Ji family's father: "Yes, the etiquette can't be abolished!"
"You kid~ little sister, four tigers, you young people will talk, I'll go burn a bowl of noodles for the defenders." Come and give a New Year's gift, and the host wants to leave the guests to eat snacks.
"Thank you, auntie, burn less, I just ate it." Ye Shoujun was not polite.
Ji Lao Niang suddenly thought that the pink horn was what the little sister liked to eat, and she didn't know if the defenders would eat it, so she turned around and asked, "By the way, the defenders, there are dumplings and pink horns at home, which one do you like?" β
"It's okay, that's convenient!" He is not a picky eater.
"It's all the same, but my little sister likes pink horns, why don't you try some too?" Ji Lao Niang asked tentatively.
"Okay, then let's have a pink corner!"
"Hey!" Seeing that Ye Shoujun was so good, Ji Lao Niang happily went to the stove and burned him a powdered corner.
Wormwood looked at the interaction between Ye Shoujun and Ji Lao Niang coldly, and found that he was also a sycophant, and he saw how happy her old lady was.
Ye Shoujun felt Wormwood's gaze, raised his eyebrows, and looked at herβwhat were you looking at?
Wormwood thought that Ye Shoujun was provoking her, she glared back fiercely in disbelief, and rolled her eyes - it was obvious that the minds of the two were not on the same channel, and they had not yet reached the point of having the same mind.
Father Ji looked at the two of them squeezing their eyebrows there, very heartbroken, the New Year's Eve is a legitimate unmarried couple, he can't say anything, so he looks at the four tigers - let him find words to attract their attention.
The four tigers understood in seconds, and began to talk to Ye Shoujun, pulling back and forth, and it evolved into consulting about incurable diseases in martial arts.
By the time Ji Lao Niang came over to ask him to eat, it had already developed into Ye Shoujun and the Three Tigers in the courtyard to learn and instruct the Three Tigers in martial arts.
The other few watched it with relish, and the four tigers were still following the comparison next to them - in fact, Father Ji also wanted to follow the comparison, but because of the identity of the elders, he couldn't pull it off.
Wormwood saw Daddy Ji's thoughts, and explained and translated with him on the side - why did he use this trick and how to block that trick......
In this scene, Ji Lao Niang said that she was very helpless, although she didn't want to disturb them, but it was already burned, and if you don't eat this kind of pasta immediately, it will be rotten and not delicious after a long time, "Don't fight, come and eat the noodles." β
"Do we have that too?" The Four Tigers were pleasantly surprised, but there was no such treatment in previous years.
Ji Lao Niang is also a person in the guards, so she will probably be embarrassed, anyway, there is no shortage of food at home, so she burned a little for the whole family, but it is not much, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat lunch by then.
"Fourth, listening to your tone, why do you feel like you have been abused at home?" Ji Lao Niang glanced at the four tigers, just her family's current food - three meals a day plus snacks, why is this guy, when it comes to eating, he is still so hungry...... What does that look like, you can't say taboo words during the New Year's holiday, so Ji Lao Niang swallowed those two words back.
"Hehe, I'm not curious, ask me!" As he spoke, the four tigers hurriedly pulled Ye Shoujun into the hall and helped him put out the fire by the way: "Defenders, hurry up, come over for dinner." β
After eating, Ji Lao Niang secretly came over to discuss with Wormwood......
"Little sister, wait a minute, what kind of gift will you give back, let the defenders bring it back?"
"Whatever! Uh~ Do you want to bring two grass chickens back? "It's a little shorter, but it's still okay to eat.
"That~ will they eat it?" A little worried.
"Brother Defender, it must be fine, what he already knew, but the fifth father didn't know, can he be trusted?"
"Then it's better to catch two ordinary chickens! Be safe. "For the sake of my daughter, you can't take risks.
"Okay." Wormwood has no objection, anyway, she wants to add food to Ye Shoujun, and there are more ways.
Wormwood handed Ye Shoujun two roosters: "Brother Defender, here you are, this is a return gift." β
"Isn't this too heavy?" Two roosters! Although he knew that it was trivial for Wormwood, he didn't want his father to notice that something was wrong.
Ye Shoujun thought for a while and said, "You should give me a few eggs!" That's not rude. β
Wormwood looked at Ji Lao Niang - what should I do?
Ye Shoujun knew the situation of the little sister, and he suggested this, there must be his concerns, so it must be right to listen to him.
"Little sister, you go and change it, and then send it to the defenders." Ji Lao Niang assigned.
"Oh!"
Wormwood came out with a basket of eggs, handed it to Ye Shoujun, and walked out with him, she "saw" that the three tigers continued to practice martial arts there, and the four tigers wanted to come out, but were stopped by her mother.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Wormwood hurriedly took out the two grass chickens and two grass ducks that she had killed when she had just gone in to change eggs......
"This is grass chicken and duck, the same flavor as the pork last time, you have time to secretly make it and eat it yourself." Let him quickly receive it in the bag.
"Give me a few more lunch boxes! I don't have a place to burn it raw. "It's okay in summer, find an old forest to roast and eat secretly, it's really inconvenient in winter.
"Can't you secretly burn it at home?" You can take advantage of Ye Wu's father's absence, burn it, put it in the purse and eat it slowly.
"My relationship with my dad is not as good as you think, anyway, it's a long story, I'll tell you later, you just need to know now, you can't let my dad find out about these things about you!" After all, his father was a soldier, and his reconnaissance ability was still good; In fact, if it weren't for the Qiankun bag, he wouldn't even dare to ask for a lunch box, for fear of being detected by him, and he would be in trouble.
"Okay, what lunch box do you want?" simply took the chickens and ducks back and let him choose by himself, after all, it was her person, and she always had to feed it from time to time.
"Seafood and meat are fine, does this grass chicken have a lunch box?" There are gastronomic options, and it would be a fool not to choose.
"Then give you 10 seafood and 10 meat, you can come and get it after eating, and it is not fresh in the purse, I am afraid of it; There are still a lot of old meals, so the grass chicken hasn't been cooked yet. "When this batch is finished, next time you can change it to chicken, duck and fish, seafood, spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables from the farm, that is the real food!
"Then give me five boxes of each, and it's enough for me to eat for several days, and then come and get it after eating."
"Okay, what kind of fruit do you want to eat?"
"I don't need the fruit, I haven't finished eating what you put last time." He doesn't like to eat fruit very much, and he can't remember to take it out and eat it.
"Oh, is there anything else you want?" She couldn't think of anything to put in his Qiankun bag for a while.
"No, it's all there." He was not going to go far away, and he could come and get anything he lacked at any time.
"Okay, then you can go back quickly! I'm not sending you anymore. Wormwood said, waving his hand and letting him go home by himself.
Ye Shoujun looked at it very speechlessly, wormwood's fly-like action, but he didn't say anything, nodded, and turned around...... I saw the big tiger and the second tiger walking on the opposite side.
After they left, the two wormwoods shouted in unison: "Big brother, second brother." β
The two of them saw Wormwood and the others here from a distance, but just now they both had their backs to the people and couldn't see what they were doing.
"Well, defenders, are you going back? Don't play more? Dahu still didn't want to see Ye Shoujun, especially when he saw the two of them standing so intimately together just now, he was very sad, and he felt that his little sister was about to be snatched away.
"No, it's all in the same village anyway, you can come over at any time, it's very convenient to come." Ye Shoujun replied politely at all.
"Okay, then you be careful, and come back when you have time." If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, it would definitely not be counted like this.
Ye Shoujun nodded, said hello, this time he really turned around and went back, and he could still hear the sound of wormwood chirping from a distance......
"Big brother, why did you come back so late......"
"I'm telling you, today we're going to have a snack at home......"
"Grandma, did they tell you anything? Did you ask your mother why she didn't go to ......?"
"How do you answer? β¦β¦β
ββββββ
The Four Tigers have lost their bet, and the third year of junior high school has passed, and Aunt Ji has not returned.
"Your sister-in-law is estimated to come back today, eldest and second, the time is almost up, you go to the village to pick it up." Ji Lao Niang commanded.
"Got it, mother." The big tiger and the second tiger are the same.
The big tiger took the second tiger to pick up Ji's sister-in-law at the entrance of the village.
"Four tigers, you lost the bet, should you take out the New Year's money?" Wormwood had bad intentions and said to the four tigers.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't arrived yet, and you haven't won yet, what's the hurry?" The four tigers are dying and struggling.
Wormwood gave him a - then you wait for the look, in fact, she didn't really want to collect his New Year's money, it just made him feel distressed, who let him put his brother's shelf in front of her at every turn!
The four tigers are really distressed, this year, because Ji Lao Niang is not short of money, she is very generous to put a dollar in each child's New Year's bag, this is the era when a pound of meat is only six cents! His father's two New Year's bags are two yuan, not to mention the seven or eight gifts given by the village elders - I want to cry when I think about it, a few dollars!
"Or, if you call me sister, I won't charge you New Year's money?" What a rare opportunity!
When the four tigers heard this, they were particularly embarrassed, they were both earning big and small from childhood to adulthood, but the facts were in front of them, the four tigers were two hours older than wormwood, and they didn't succeed, if they called this time, it is estimated that they would not want to turn over in the future.
The four tigers were ruthless, and directly took out the New Year's money and handed it to wormwood, not because of a small loss, "give~"
"Are you sure?" Wormwood still wanted him to think again.
"Hurry up and take it, or I'll regret it." After discovering that Wormwood had a "bad heart", the Four Tigers decided to take out the New Year's money and cut off her back road.
"Okay, no need, hey~" Such a good opportunity didn't make him change his words, and the chances in the future are even slimmer.
