Chapter 111: The First Meal in My Hometown
The smell of the new year in the village is getting stronger, and many people who have worked in other places have returned, from the entrance of the village to the village, the road is full of people coming and going. Someone greeted him in three or five steps, Ruan Duo had to slow down, the car drove slower and slower, and when he arrived at the gate of Ruan's house, it was already half an hour later.
Grandma Ruan moved a small bench and sat at the door, and as soon as she saw Ruan Duo's car coming, she stood up and took three or two steps to meet her.
Ruan Duo parked the car steadily, and Ruan Siyao pulled the car door, "Grandma, I'm back!" ”
Grandma Ruan smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Oh, my good granddaughter, how long has it been since she came back?" Grandma really wants to kill you. ”
"I miss you too, Grandma. Why are you waiting at the door, why aren't you waiting at home on such a cold day? Ruan Siyao grabbed Grandma Ruan's arm and lied coquettishly.
"I'm not worried about you delaying anything, I usually arrive at eleven o'clock at most, but today it's almost half past twelve. You haven't come back, and I really can't rest assured, so I'll come out and have a look. ”
"It's stuck in traffic, grandma. Isn't it almost the New Year, everyone is on vacation, and the road is very crowded. I slept in the car, and then when I came to the village, everyone greeted my dad, and it was stuck in traffic for a while, so it was late. ”
Grandma Ruan touched Ruan Siyao's arm and began to feel distressed: "Eh, hey! How did you lose so much weight? Is it because your dad won't give you pocket money? You don't have money to spend, why don't you know how to find grandma, slim like this. ”
"No, I eat and dress well, and my parents give me a lot of pocket money. Besides, how can I ask for your money? The money you save is spent by yourself, and you look at yourself, you are thin. ”
"What am I thin, I'm seventy or eighty, which one of the older ones do you see will gain weight."
"Why didn't you get fat when you were older? My classmate's grandmother is very strong, and one arm is as thick as your two arms. You just don't want to buy something to eat, if you don't want to go out and buy it, ask my parents to buy it for you. Anyway, they make money, so don't worry about them. ”
"What are you talking about, your parents are quite tired of earning money. I always think about what to do with their money, besides, I don't lack food or clothing, they will buy me a lot of things every month, and your uncle's family will buy them too. How much can I spend my age? ”
"What do you think? My parents shouldn't be filial to you, and when I earn money, I'll buy you something. ”
"Your parents might as well spend that money on you, no one takes care of you outside, you have to rely on yourself for everything, and you can't take more pocket money. Look at your Siyu, how many brand-name things you have bought, I see that you don't wear expensive clothes, sometimes you wear two bad pants and bad clothes, you have to be willing to spend money on yourself, and your parents can't afford to support you. ”
"Grandma, although the dress I am wearing does not look very expensive, the quality is really good. Not to mention anything else, my parents don't abuse me, they must be very good to me as a daughter, don't you say? ”
"Then you're still wearing those pants with torn knees, aren't they worn out?"
Ruan Siyao couldn't cry or laugh: "Grandma, my pants are ripped pants, they are trendy, and that's how people design them." ”
"If you don't wear good pants, what do you do when you design like that, you have to get old legs when you're old. You young people are weird, let me see what pants you're wearing today. Grandma Ruan said that she was about to lift Ruan Siyao's long down jacket.
Ruan Siyao would let her grandmother do it herself, and lifted the hem of the down jacket by herself, revealing her legs wearing leggings and fleece pants: "I am dressed warmly today, these pants are velvet, and they will definitely not be cold." ”
Grandma Ruan was relieved: "Okay, okay, this is good, hurry in, your uncle is stir-frying in it, and your aunt's family is also here." ”
Speaking of children, Grandma Ruan is in a very good mood, in contrast, Ruan Siyao is not in a good mood, and it is annoying to see people she doesn't want to see just when she gets home.
Ruan Duo and Qin Zhen followed behind with large bags and small bags, and the four of them entered, and the flower cat lying at the door came over and meowed.
"Wow, are you here to pick me up?" Ruan Siyao squatted down and touched the head of the flower cat, the flower cat let out a comfortable snoring sound, lay on the ground, exposed its belly, and Ruan Siyao excitedly rua up. The cat's soft belly is not too comfortable to touch.
"I'm back, come in quickly, it's time to eat." Xu Hui, the eldest aunt of the Ruan family, came out and happened to meet Ruan Siyao and his party.
Ruan Siyao raised his head: "Hello aunt." ”
"Yaoyao, you still like wow wow so much, it's comfortable to see wow wow, and you're almost asleep." Xu Hui also squatted down and reminded Ruan Siyao in a low voice: "Wait a while to go in and take it easy, your aunt is a little overexcited today." ”
"What's wrong, did you win the lottery or pick up the money?" Ruan Siyao was curious.
Xu Hui replied: "No, it's not that Fang Min is going to your father for an internship after the New Year, people think that their daughter can make money, so they can't help but sigh, so they almost their tails to the sky." ”
"Hey, nasty." Ruan Siyao wrinkled his nose, "I don't know what to worry about." ”
"Don't say it, be careful of her overhears." Xu Hui stood up, "Come, hurry up into the house and wash your hands, I'll take you out for a walk after dinner, the family has tinkered with greenhouses, planted a lot of things, and planted strawberries, which have borne fruit in the past two days." ”
Ruan Siyao's mood suddenly improved a lot: "Really? Then I'm going to check it out. ”
Letting go of the flower cat in his hand, Ruan Siyao followed Xu Hui into the house, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and everyone was already in the dining room. Ruan Siyao calmed down in the bathroom, put on a very polite but enthusiastic smile, and then went to the dining room.
When I got close to the dining room, I heard Aunt Ruan's show-off: "Our family Minmin is amazing this year, but I got a scholarship this semester, and I will have an internship after the New Year, and I will be able to work soon, so I don't have to worry about us as parents." ”
Ruan Siyao sneered in his heart, pushed open the door and entered, "Uncle, aunt, uncle, cousin." ”
Aunt Ruan Ling smiled happily: "Oh, Yaoyao is a lot more sensible, it's different when I go to college, I didn't know how to take the initiative to call people before, but now I've really grown up." But ah, why don't you know that you don't call your aunt, even if you don't like it anymore, you can't do this, it's very rude. ”
Ruan Siyao's heart suddenly brushed up a barrage, full of complaints.
Before Ruan Siyao could speak, Xu Hui continued: "Ruan Ling, what are you talking about, Yaoyao, this kid couldn't be more polite, he called me at the door just now." How well-behaved we are, we never need to be urged by others, and our mouths are so sweet. ”
Ruan Ling didn't care: "In this way, I thought Yaoyao and sister-in-law had a prejudice." ”
"Nonsense, Yaoyao is so well-behaved, how can you have an opinion with your sister-in-law, you are such a big person, how can you talk without brains?" Grandma Ruan looked unhappy, obviously dissatisfied with Ruan Ling's open-mouthedness.
"Mom, I'm just talking about playing, why are you so serious." Ruan Ling was unhappy, "I just like to joke, it's not that you don't know, what do you care about me." ”
"Okay, don't talk about this, hurry up and eat, the dishes are going to be cold." Uncle Ruan Cheng came out to play a round.
Ruan Duo gave Grandma Ruan a bowl of soup: "Mom, hurry up and eat, it's almost a little faster, you should be hungry." ”
Ruan Siyao sat next to Grandma Ruan, took the soup served by Ruan Duo, and coquettishly played with Grandma Ruan: "Grandma, this soup is so fragrant, it's made by the eldest aunt, you will know it when you smell this taste." Taste it, if you don't move your chopsticks, if any of us dare to eat, I'll starve to death. ”
Grandma Ruan's face looked a little better, "Okay, hurry up and eat, don't be hungry." ”
As soon as grandma moved the chopsticks, the people on the table moved. Grandma Ruan sat Ruan Siyao on her right hand, and Fang Min on her left, Fang Min turned the turntable on the table and gave a chopstick cold radish shreds to Grandma Ruan, "Grandma, this is my mother's own hand-mixed mix, it is very fragrant." ”
"Hey, okay, I'll come by myself, and Minmin will eat too." Grandma Ruan smiled and ate the shredded radish peppered by Fang Min, "It's quite delicious, it's just a little sweet, isn't there too much sugar." ”
"No, it's just like usual, I've been mixing shredded radish for many years, you still taught me, how can I be wrong." Ruan Ling took a pair of chopsticks and tasted it, "It's not very good, you can try it again." ”
Grandma Ruan nodded, but she never ate shredded radish again. Ruan Siyao knew that grandma was unhappy, so she also took a chopstick to eat, it was indeed sweet, grandma would not make it so sweet. Ruan Siyao has eaten at the Fang family, such sweetness is the only love of the Fang family, the Ruan family all love spicy food, it seems that the aunt has been around the Fang family all these years, and has forgotten the taste of grandma.
"Grandma, this fish is delicious, the peppers in it are really first-class, I picked out all the thorns for you, eat it." Ruan Siyao sandwiched a piece of spicy fish to Grandma Ruan, and the soft and tender fish meat was dipped in the soup, which made people feel excited.
"Yaoyao, don't pick up fish for grandma, these fish are too spicy, the old man can't eat them well, and a lighter one is good for the body, why are you so ignorant kid." Ruan Ling looked disapproving.
Ruan Cheng sandwiched a piece of stewed chicken: "Mom, eat a piece of chicken, here I put our own chili sauce, it is very fragrant." ”
Grandma Ruan was happy to eat, "It's still Xu Hui's craftsmanship, but you still cook often, and you can't even compare to half of your daughter-in-law." ”
"Mom, why do you eat such spicy things, it's good to eat something light, you're so old, you want to maintain your health, eating so indiscriminately is very bad for your health." Ruan Ling was shocked that Grandma Ruan actually ate spicy food, and hurriedly tried to stop it.
Grandma Ruan took a chopstick chili pepper to stir-fry the meat, the chili pepper was pickled at home, red and spicy. "I love to eat these, what's wrong with chili peppers, it's not something that can't be eaten. You used to love to eat these when you weren't married, and after marrying for so many years, you pay attention to what kind of health preservation. ”
Ruan Ling sighed in her heart, it's not good, she hasn't cooked when she goes back to her parents' house all these years, at most she is a fighter, and her mother's family is also accommodating the taste of her family of three, why did she forget that her mother's family loves spicy food.
"Mom, I'm not saying that spicy food is bad, I'm just worried about your body, and you should take good care of your body at your age. Can you compare it to a decade or twenty ago? In case you eat too much spicy food and hurt your body at that time, it will not be worth the loss. ”
"You eat yours, I've been eating it for so many years, and I haven't seen anything wrong with it." Grandma Ruan was not happy to listen to Ruan Ling anymore.
Ruan Ling wanted to say something more, but Ruan Duo interrupted: "Second sister, don't worry about your mother, your mother is such a big person, she knows it in her heart, these chili peppers look a lot, but they are not too spicy in the serious, if you don't believe it, you can taste it yourself." ”
