Chapter 633: The Chu Family
"Squeak-" The log-colored gate opened after Hua Qinghe and the others didn't finish looking at the scenery, "Yanyu, why didn't you ...... last night?"
What came out was a woman with a body very similar to Chu Yanyu, with a large skeleton and tall stature, but the flesh on her face was less than that of Chu Yanyu, she looked a little thin, and she was also dressed in a washed white blue caftan brown, and there was a patched bib tied around her waist.
"Mother." Chu Yanyu strode forward with a smile, "Today I brought my classmates to pick cherries." ”
"Oh, ah, welcome, welcome, quick, get inside." Chu's stunned expression came back to his senses slightly, and his hands and feet were a little unplaced, but he didn't forget to welcome the guests into the door.
"Auntie, are we okay with the carriage parked outside the door?" Hua Qinghe asked with a smile.
"Ah, no, it's fine." Chu waved his hand again and again, "There are guests from other people's homes, and the carriages are all parked outside." ”
"That's good."
"Miss, things ......"
"Let's move in." Hua Qinghe nodded, then turned around and looked at Chu Shi respectfully and said, "Auntie, I really bothered me today, I brought some gifts to visit relatives and friends, and asked my aunt to smile." ”
Hua Rong and a few coachmen helped take down the things in the carriage, and moved them to the open door one after another, Chu's heart trembled when he saw it, and he stepped forward to stop him, "Eh, no, no, take it back, you are all classmates of Yanyu, where can I ask you to give gifts, there is no ...... this"
"Auntie." Hua Qinghe stretched out her hand and pulled Chu to the side, "Auntie, don't talk nonsense, I have also lived in a farmhouse for many years, can I still not understand the truth of being a guest, and today Sister Yanyu has spoken, we can pick the cherries at will, if you don't accept them, then we can't pick them." ”
Chu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and because of the movement just now, several people in the village had already looked inside his door.
Chu Shi saw the clothes of Hua Qinghe and a few people, and knew that these were all delicate young ladies, welcomed people into the hall, came out to see that Hua Rong and several people had also moved, and beckoned the daughter-in-law of the family to pour tea for them, Hua Rong and a few people drank and consciously went to the door to guard the carriage, and Chu also closed the door with confidence, blocking the line of sight of exploration.
Hua Qinghe and a few people sat down in a clean and tidy hall, Chu Yanyu personally went to brew sweet water, came out with a tray and explained with a smile, "There is no good tea at home, it is better not to spoil your mouth, just drink honey and moisten your mouth." ”
Chu Shi was very pleased to see Chu Yanyu's approach, since his daughter went to the women's school, she is much stronger than before in terms of dealing with the world, and her own daughter has the ability, that women's school is not something that ordinary people can be admitted, since Yanyu was admitted to Xiushan Women's School, his family's status in Chujiagou has risen a lot.
Chu Yanyu is only fourteen this year, but the people who come to the house to say goodbye are about to step on the threshold, Chu feels comfortable when he thinks about it, there are still people gossiping about their daughter's body shape before, what ordinary men are not as strong as their own daughters, hum, now it's not that they hit their mouths, and they rushed to kiss.
"You little girl talk well, smoke and rain, entertain your classmates well, my mother will prepare lunch, and then you will go to pick cherries after lunch, there will be no dew at that time." Chu Shi smiled and explained a few words, then left the hall and went to the kitchen to work.
Chu's two daughters-in-law were bending down to look at the rice noodles piled up in the kitchen, and when they saw Chu entering the door, they hurriedly straightened up and whispered, "Mother, it's all good white rice and white noodles, as well as bacon." ”
Chu's eldest daughter-in-law, Fang Lancao, had obvious joy in her eyes, "I'm a good girl, those classmates in Yanyu are too generous, I see how I have to have fifty or sixty catties of fine grain, and I carried a big strip of bacon, more than ten catties." ”
Chu's second daughter-in-law, Hu Ruixue, gently pushed the top square bluegrass with her elbow.
"What are you doing with me?" Fang Lancao frowned and looked at the concubine beside her.
Hu Ruixue rolled her eyes, and for her sister-in-law, she said that she was really tired and panicked to talk to her, and explained bluntly, "The guests are all in the house, and it's not good to talk about the gifts brought by others." ”
Fang Lancao was a little confused, "They are in the hall, we are in the kitchen, I can't hear them." ”
Hu Ruixue turned her head, didn't want to speak, and found her guilt.
The Chu family knows the two daughters-in-law very well, they are both people with a basic background, one is too straightforward, and the other is a director who can be a family director.
"Okay, two tables at noon, add more hard vegetables, cook dry rice, direct white rice, and eat from the young ladies of the family, we don't have good ones, so we use what they brought." Chu said.
"The eldest daughter-in-law, no, the second daughter-in-law, you go to Liangtian's house to buy some tofu, and by the way, go to Uncle Gen's house to ask if there is any game; The eldest daughter-in-law came with me to get the eggs. Chu instructed, "At noon, I will make some white flour dumplings filled with leeks and eggs, and I will mix the noodles, and the eldest daughter-in-law will mix the filling." ”
"Yes." Fang Lancao is happy, knowing that today's lunch can be eaten well, not only white rice but also dumplings, this day, and the New Year is almost the same, no, with game and bacon, it is better than the New Year.
In the hall, Chu Yanyu was introducing Chujiagou to Hua Qinghe and a few others.
"Our Chujiagou is rich in cherries, almost all of the cherries planted in the mountains are cherries, my father and three brothers should go to pick cherries now, when they come back, you can taste a few first, and when you have lunch, I will take you to our mountain to pick cherries, and have a picnic by the way." Chu Yanyu looked at the food box in the hall and said with a smile.
"Look at my memory, these two food boxes are for my aunt." Luo Jiamiao exclaimed and got up, pointed to the two extra new food boxes and said, "Sister Yanyu, you can talk to your aunt later." ”
"You brought the food for the picnic and kept it for yourself, but you brought too many things today, and I was shocked." Chu Yanyu said angrily, "My mother must be using the good things you brought to eat now, but she has a good mouth at noon." ”
"Miss, it's not too early, the slave maid should go to the kitchen to help." Qinglian asked.
Chu Yanyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, not only her, but everyone in the room lit up, looking at Hua Qinghe directly, afraid that she wouldn't say anything.
Hua Qinghe twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded, "Then you can go." ”
Chu Yanyu exclaimed, "Okay, I was afraid that my mother would waste the good things you brought, but now Qinglian is out of the horse, hehe......"
"You are not afraid that after your family has tasted Qinglian's food, the food will not be fragrant in the future." Mu Han sighed.
