Chapter 229: The Ye Family (2)
At this time, although the apricot tree did not bloom and had no fruit, it was also very beautiful to look at. If you look closely, you will find that the apricot trees in the mountains have basically turned yellow leaves, while the rows of apricot trees at the entrance of the village are still green. I think it's because the temperature here is a little higher than in the mountains.
It's just that this green is no longer the original green, but a little yellow green, which looks very comfortable.
Wu only felt that his eyes were not enough to see, look here, look there, and chase the big girl who trotted all the way, and sat under the tree for a while, resting and resting.
Faced with this situation, in the face of the familiar pastoral scenery, the second child of the Ye family also completely let go, and was no longer the cowering appearance in Yao Wushuang's house, and said something from time to time next to Grandpa Ye Feng.
Rural people are naturally more suitable for nature. Trapping people who are used to working in a small patio will only make them uncomfortable.
After walking this way, you will arrive at the shopping street.
Far away, Wu smelled bursts of aroma. Judging from her experience, the fragrance is also different, with the aroma of food, the aroma of braised meat, and the taste of some rouge gouache.
Only, isn't this a village? Where do you get these smells?
Who knows, as soon as the road turned, the commercial street appeared in front of me, and several people were completely stunned. Several people stopped moving forward, making Ye Feng confused.
"W, where is this? Are we on the wrong track? Wu's words represent the voices of the people.
If this section of the road could still be related to the countryside in the past, where is it now? It's better here than in the city, so to speak.
"This is Chenjia Village, how many of you are here for the first time, right?" Ye Feng hadn't spoken yet, and since he was walking behind, the Zhao clan didn't see him. During this time, her shop was almost crowded with tourists, and they all wanted to try the shredded chicken made by her family.
Here, Zhao's craftsmanship is displayed to the fullest.
Chen Jifa has long told the villagers that they must be gentle and enthusiastic when dealing with foreign tourists, they are the food and clothing parents of Chenjia Village, and they can't be offended. The villagers listened to it, after all, it was related to silver, and they couldn't be sloppy.
Seeing Ye Feng suddenly appear in sight, the smile on Zhao's face was a little bigger, and he said loudly: "Ye Feng? Is this your family? You don't want to introduce your aunt to it. ”
A look of uncertainty.
Through the propaganda of the Ye family and the Kang family, the villagers naturally knew that Ye Feng had found his father, and there was a second mother who was said to be from a large family. It's just that the family in front of me, although the clothes are good, but the expression of this person who has never seen the world is a little playful.
Hearing this, Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Aunt Zhao is good." Yes, this is my grandparents, this is my second uncle and aunt, and this is my little niece. No, take them to my place today. Auntie, you're busy first, let's go around first. ”
Saying that he was going to take the family away, he was most afraid that the Zhao family would invite guests to dinner. Whether it was the Ye shopkeeper or the Kang family and the Zhu family, when they came, the Zhao family had already invited Ye Feng to eat no less than ten meals for free, which made Ye Feng very embarrassed.
If there are others, they are also people's, so why should they eat and drink for nothing. Others don't know, but Ye Feng knows, although they are getting richer and richer, the Zhao family is hard-working people and still maintains the habit of hard work.
Speaking of which, Chen Qianliang's wife is still the daughter of Xiucai's family, but she also works together and has never complained. By virtue of this, the family should be rich.
The hundreds of chickens and ducks in her house are no joke, and it takes a lot of effort just to prepare the food. It's not an image in the eyes of outsiders, as if people can make money by lying down.
Who knows, Zhao really said: "That's right, I will eat lunch in my aunt's shop, and the shredded chicken tube is enough." That's it, you go shopping first, it's still early, and you'll come over for dinner at noon. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly went, not allowing Ye Feng to refuse.
"Yo, your neighbor's aunt is a cheerful person, and she will invite us to dinner as soon as she comes. Where's their shop? ”
Ye Feng had no choice but to subconsciously point to the shop not far away.
"Yo, this shop is good, the location is good, the light is good, everything is good." Seeing that it was only morning, and there were many people coming in and out of the Zhao family's shop, the Wu family looked envious, and he almost drooled.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Grandparents, second uncle and second aunt, why don't we go to other places." He was really afraid that Wu would go to the store and affect other people's business.
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea, after all, they also wanted to take a look around. In fact, Ye Feng didn't need to take it at all, under the leadership of the Wu family, everyone walked towards the commercial street. As I walked, I sighed, where is the village here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the city.
There were a lot of snacks along the way, seeing that the eldest girl was a little greedy, she looked at it and swallowed saliva secretly, and after thinking about it, Ye Feng took out the silver and bought some fried chestnuts and melon seeds with sugar, and all kinds of fried goods, and one person gave a pack.
After thinking about it, he instructed: "Don't throw melon seed shells or anything, do you see, the one who wears a red sleeve on his right arm is specially here to supervise tourists." Whoever throws garbage is to be fined silver. ”
Wu ate happily, and was about to throw the husk, but was frightened by Ye Feng's words. The fine is small, but the face is big, and she now calls herself the second young grandmother of the Ye family, and her quality naturally cannot be the same as that of a country mother-in-law.
After thinking about it, he put the husks in another bag, and then asked, "Well, this job is easy, but these people are paid?" ”
"Naturally, there is. The village is now in dire need of such service personnel, even if they go to the inn to help, they are paid. Ye Feng hurriedly said, and there was a hint of inducement in his words. Maybe if he publicizes it, his second aunt's family will return to the township to be self-reliant.
He always felt that with Yao Wushuang's temperament, sooner or later he would drive out the second family of the Ye family. Instead of being caught off guard and making it difficult for his father to jump, it is better to take the initiative to help now.
When Wu heard this, he frowned and did not answer. I just thought in my heart, the old lady is a young grandmother, how can she be a service worker. Isn't it good to be like this, some eat and drink, and even have lunch booked.
As for the service staff, to hell with it.
When the two streets were almost gone, Grandpa Ye Feng suddenly coughed violently, and Grandma Ye Feng also shouted thirsty. After eating so many fried seeds, it's no wonder that he is not thirsty, and almost all the fried foods that Ye Feng bought for several people have eaten.
Ye Feng originally didn't plan to take a few people to the beverage store, because Wu's appearance was too scary, and it would definitely be bad for her to know too much. However, it seems that this is no longer possible.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng said, "Let's go, I'll take everyone to drink water." ”
When everyone heard this, they thought that they were just going to a familiar shop to beg for a bowl of water, and they didn't care. Unbeknownst to them, Ye Feng brought them to a shop, and there was a flag on the outside of the shop, with a big fruit painted on it, and next to it was a glass of water.
Wu Shiqi said: "This shop is quite interesting, but I don't know what it sells." I have never seen what this fruit is. ”
"Oh, this shop is dedicated to drinking." Ye Feng replied vaguely, and he didn't plan to reveal the information that this shop was his own.
After speaking, he stepped into the shop first, and said a few words in Chen Wumei's ear, and then said to everyone: "You all come in and sit, and by the way, tell me what you like to drink." "There's a lot to drink here.
After speaking, he led a few people in, and reported a string of drink names by the way. After reporting it, Ye Feng realized that it was a little inappropriate for him to say it like this, so he added: "This is a store opened by my neighbor, I come often, so I am more familiar with it, you can just order what you like to drink." ”
Except for Ye Feng's grandparents who didn't know what to order, the rest of them all ordered their favorite flavors. After thinking about it, Ye Feng ordered a cup of slightly sweet lemonade for each of the two old men. Now in this weather, for the elderly, mint water is a little exciting.
When he sat down, Wu began to sigh again: "This location is really good, and besides, what kind of material is this, it is transparent." "The family was amazed to sit down and see people coming and going on the street.
This time, Ye Feng didn't actively answer the question, so he pretended not to hear. Seeing that Chen Wumei was a little busy, she went in to help.
After a while, the Ye family all drank their drinks.
"Wow, this one is so delicious, it's good-looking, and it really tastes like an apple." Wu took a sip of fruit tea and said in surprise.
"Me too, there is a floral fragrance."
"Mine too, sour and sweet, weird delicious, just too little." The second wife of the Ye family was thirsty and hungry, so she drank a large glass of water in one go, "Can I ask for another glass?" ”
Seeing this, Ye Feng and Chen Wumei were a little dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, people who come here to drink drinks are not for the sake of drinking, but more to feel the atmosphere, chat, bask in the sun, and look at bonsai. They don't have a refill service here.
Helpless, Chen Wumei had no choice but to say to Second Uncle Ye: "Okay, you give me my quilt." "Ye Feng had already told her just now, this is his second uncle. Regardless of whether Ye Feng is willing to tell the other party that this shop is his own, but for the relationship between the second uncle, this glass of water still has to be added.
Unknowingly, the rest of the people said, "Then I want it too." ”
Ye Feng embarrassedly accepted the cup and made a new cup for everyone.
Finally finished drinking the drink, Grandpa Ye Feng was polite, and took the initiative to ask, "Girl, how much silver do you want to drink?" As he spoke, he wanted to dig out the money.
Shopkeeper Ye naturally gave him silver, even if it was Yao Wushuang, he also gave a lot, so he still has some spare money in his hand now. In the days when he lived in the city, he naturally knew that everything in the city needed money to buy.
Hearing this, Chen Wumei said: "Grandpa, you don't need to give it, I am quite familiar with Ye Feng, and he often comes to the store to help." Besides, it's the first time you've come, so I'll give you something to drink. ”
"What is this......"
Before Grandpa Ye Feng finished speaking, Wu said, "Ouch, eldest sister, you are so polite, then thank you." ”
As he spoke, he pulled a group of people out, and seeing that there were no outsiders, Wu asked Ye Feng mysteriously: "This girl doesn't look very old, and I don't know if she is married." Ye Feng, I think you and her are very suitable. ”
Hearing this, Ye Feng cried and laughed: "Second aunt, you can't talk nonsense. She is now married, and the one who is determined is the villager. And ah......" As he spoke, Ye Feng told him about his relationship with Fifth Sister Chen.
Wu made a joke, so he had to say: "So that's the case, my aunt is also in a hurry, thinking that you are so old, it's time to get married." ”
It made Ye Feng look embarrassed. At his age, it stands to reason that he should be looking for a partner, but he always fantasizes that he might be able to travel back, so he doesn't want to be in such a hurry.
If he gets married here and goes back, wouldn't that be harmful?
Therefore, until now, Ye Feng has deliberately not fallen in love.
After shopping in the commercial street, you will arrive at Changyin Pavilion and 10,000 people square. For the shape of Changyin Pavilion, the family is very curious. Especially after listening to Ye Feng's introduction, Wu Shi said expectantly: "Why don't we come and listen to it in the evening, speaking of which, I haven't heard a play in such a high-level place." ”
In fact, it's not just this kind of place, the Wu family has to work every day at home, where is there a place to listen to the opera.
"No problem, we'll go to buy tickets after lunch, and we'll listen to the play here after dinner." For Wu's request, Ye Feng readily agreed. Anyway, if he asked a few people to come to the village, he must have arranged activities.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass the time like this.
After Ye Feng's response, the Wu family was as happy as something, and she felt that she had taken another step away from the people in the city. Speaking of which, after being in the city for so long, Yao Wushuang never mentioned letting them go to the theater at all.
There are still sparse people looking for relatives in the 10,000-person square, which is nothing to see, and Ye Feng is also afraid that the Wu family will offend people by talking nonsense, so he took everyone to the Huxin Pavilion.
Seeing that the pavilion was really repaired in the lake, the Wu family began to scream again. Fortunately, Ye Feng was no longer surprised, and the Ye family didn't seem to be surprised, indicating that the Wu family also had this style at home.
After Ye Feng emphasized countless times that this road would not collapse, and seeing that people did come and go, Wu took a brave step and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. When I arrived at the pavilion, I leaned over to play in the water, and I wanted to pick the lotus pod, so I was as lively as a twenty-eight girl.
Seeing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to say: "Second aunt, you have to be careful, it is very deep in the middle of the lake, and falling down is not a joke." ”
"Auntie naturally knows, don't worry." Obviously, she thought of the lake as a village creek or something.
After swimming in the Huxin Pavilion, Ye Feng said: "I don't think it's too early, or let's go to the place where we want to live first, put the baggage away, make the bed, and then we can have lunch." ”
Anyway, Ye Feng didn't want to go anymore, he saw a lot of places today, and there were Wu ghosts along the way, which was really enough.
If it weren't for the sake of the second elder of the Ye family, and the honest appearance of the second uncle Ye, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
Wu originally wanted to continue playing, but she knew in her heart that she had brought a change of clothes anyway, and she would just play slowly in the next few days, and she was not in a hurry, and she also wanted to see where she lived as soon as possible, so she didn't say anything.
After walking for a while, he came to a forest, and saw a place where he was charging, Ye Feng walked up first, said a few words to the person who collected the fee, and got a bunch of keys without giving money.
Fortunately, there are not as many tourists as in the past few days, otherwise it is really hard to say whether there are any vacant rooms.
Along the way, there are either fruit forests, flourishing flowers and trees, or bamboo forests, which make a group of people feel both friendly and strange.
The intimate thing is that the scenery here is all in the countryside, but the strange thing is that everything is so clean, whether it is flowers and trees, fruit trees or even bamboo forests, it seems to have been pruned and so exquisite, and the ground is all bluestone slabs, and there is not even a leaf on the ground.
The Wu family wanted to reach out and pick the fruit several times, but the second elder of the Ye family pointed it out. After all, even in the countryside, there is no one like her, who wants everything she sees. I don't know whose it is.
Seeing this, Ye Feng also opened one eye and closed one eye, and walked in front without looking back to lead the way. Anyway, this fruit can indeed be picked, but the Wu family really can't do it.
After walking for a long time, everyone saw a house appear in front of them, with the words "Xinghuaju" written on it. The house is a typical courtyard house, but it is a little different, because it is a two-story building, but the layout is a courtyard house.
This place was kept by Ye Feng for himself. However, the keys are still kept at the ticket office in order to receive high-level guests. But so far, except for Ye Feng and the Ye family, no one has lived here.
Since Ye Feng turned thirteen years old, the Ye family consciously asked Ye Feng to buy land and save money by himself, in order to make Ye Feng independent, and also to avoid being unable to speak clearly after Ye Feng found his family, but hurt his feelings.
Ye Feng was not that confused, so he agreed with Ye's approach. However, there is a room reserved for the family.
Opening the door, Ye Feng said: "There are twelve rooms here, you can live in whichever one you want, choose for yourself." Everything in the house is complete, you just have to bring your baggage and go in and live. Now, you choose a room first, and come to me to get the key. ”
In the end, the Wu family chose a room on the second floor, while Ye Feng and the second elder of the Ye family lived downstairs.
After getting the key, Wu took the big girl three steps and two steps to the second floor, and opened the door excitedly. This is an ensuite with two rooms inside and out. But in either room, there is a cabinet in the room. When I opened it, I saw that there were brand new quilts and mattresses, all of which had not been used.
Wu opened the bag and quickly laid out the bed, and then pulled the eldest girl to stand on the second floor and look into the distance. From this point of view, there are fruit trees, flowers and trees, and looming houses.
So I felt sorry in my heart, if only this building were a little higher.
Ye Feng made a bed for the second elder of the Ye family, thought about it, and felt that it was too cold at night, the second elder Ye Feng was old, and it was in the forest again, and the temperature was a few degrees lower than in the city, so he added an extra mattress, tried it, and it was really thicker and warmer.
Grandpa Ye Feng was sitting at the gate of the courtyard at the moment, looking at the neat and tidy ground outside the house, and he felt quite emotional. In his opinion, this place is indeed better than the city, but he still misses home. He had lived there for generations, and now that he was suddenly away from the country, he still thought about it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Feng took a few people to lock the door and walked towards the commercial street. On the way, when he saw someone farming, Grandpa Ye Feng was very interested. Ye Feng told him what experience he had in interplanting, fertilizing, and soil cultivation, and when his grandfather heard it, his eyes were shining golden, and he felt that everything Ye Feng said was good, and he couldn't wait to try it on his own land immediately.
"Grandpa, if you really want to farm, when you are tired of staying in the city, come to your grandson, I welcome you here at any time." For the elderly, especially the hard-working elderly, Ye Feng is still very filial.
He even thought that even if Yao Wushuang and Shopkeeper Ye fell out at that time, it would be okay for him to raise the second elder. He came here across time and space and became their grandson, and he was always a close relative, a great fate.
"Okay, okay." The old man said again and again, looking at Ye Feng lovingly.
It's just that he knows that this is just an imagination. Shopkeeper Ye has told him many times that Yao Wushuang doesn't want the second elder to return to the countryside, of course, it is even more impossible to let her grandson raise her and let others poke her backbone.
When I arrived at Zhao's chicken restaurant, I saw that almost all the seats in the store were occupied by people eating, but there was still a table empty at the window, and at first glance, it was specially reserved by Zhao for Ye Feng's family.
Zhao followed Ye Feng's suggestion and redecorated this side of the road, cutting out several windows on the wall. Ye Feng took the remaining glass from his house and put it on.
Now, the seats on this side are the most sought-after, because the windows can be pushed open, and the view is wide, and it is really pleasant to eat while looking at the scenery outside.
Seeing that Ye Feng's family was coming, the Zhao family personally greeted them and placed the family, and then the finished dishes were brought out from the kitchen assembly line.
First of all, cold chicken, sour chicken, and shredded chicken, and finally potato roast chicken, plus a few vegetarian dishes, put a full table, Ye Feng was full of emotion, but how to repay this kindness?
Wu Shi saw these colorful and well-matched dishes, and she had already stretched out her hand from her throat, if it weren't for Zhao's still being, she really wanted to taste it. After glancing at Wu a few times, Zhao left.
So, such a large table of dishes, in Ye Feng's stunned mouth, was eaten by the family.
"This chicken is really good, it tastes good, the chicken is chewy, by the way, it seems to be a little spicy, and I don't know what seasoning is used."
"This is someone's secret, I think it's an ancestral secret recipe, how can I tell you."
The Wu couple chatted while eating.
The Zhao family even prepared a fat chicken that had been killed, and asked the Ye family to take it away after the meal, but after Ye Feng kept shaking his head, thinking about Ye Feng's cooperation with Chen Jixing, and raising a lot, he didn't insist.
However, Wu learned to be obedient, and when he left, he said thank you.
In the afternoon, I was still shopping, eating, and playing, until the evening, when Ye Feng couldn't walk, he went to Li Sanjin's store to eat a sour soup fish, and Wu shouted: "Oh my God, how is this done, it's obviously sour radish and celery, how to make it so delicious." ”
It's just that no matter what Li Sanjin said this time, Ye Feng insisted on giving the silver, which made the Wu family feel in their hearts that Ye Feng's relationship with this family was not as good as the previous ones, otherwise how could he accept the silver.
But it's okay, at least Wu has seen it, not everyone she knows can let her eat for free.
Naturally, I listened to the play in Changyin Pavilion at night. While eating pastries and roasting goods, watching the play, and chatting with his family, Wu felt that this day was too comfortable.
