Chapter 46: Years Later
Xu Aihong's arrival made the atmosphere at home slightly depressing, and when Xu Aihong left, the Gu family returned to its previous joyful and warm atmosphere.
The summer solstice dishes are so delicious, not to mention children, even if a few adults eat a round belly, several large plates of dishes are almost eaten clean, and everyone's faces show satisfaction.
After eating enough, Gu Xiangyang led Xu Guoqing out to play, but Gu Hongxing was quiet.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Gu family did not keep vigil, at 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone basically went to sleep, and the next morning there were people who came to pay New Year's greetings, most of them were Gu Old Man's subordinates, and Gu Beicheng also went to accompany him.
Xia Zhi followed Mrs. Gu and followed her to recognize people, these are all connections, and they may be used in the future.
Xia Zhi gave the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago to the youngest Xu Guoqing.
Xu Guoqing was very sensible at a young age, and he was very happy to get the red envelope, and his eyes were shining and he thanked Xia Zhi, "Thank you, auntie." ”
Xia Zhi gently touched Xu Guoqing's little head, "Good!" ”
Xu Guoqing's face flushed, and he lowered his head shyly.
Gu Xiangyang and Gu Hongxing didn't expect that they also had red envelopes.
Gu Xiangyang looked at the red envelope in his hand and said embarrassedly: "Little aunt, I'm not young, so I don't want it." ”
Gu Hongxing also said: "Yes, little aunt." ”
Xia Zhi didn't care and said: "The New Year's picture is auspicious, take it." ”
The two smiled and thanked each other, and they had a better impression of the summer solstice.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the old lady prepared a few packs of snacks for Xia Zhi, and asked Gu Beicheng to accompany Xia Zhi back to his parents' house, which was also considered to be a return door.
Gu Beicheng and Xia Zhi arrived at Xia's house, but they didn't expect that only Xia Jianye, Xia Aiguo, and Xia Aidang's father and son were at home in the Xia family, and Yang Xinyi actually led Xia Ling back to her parents' house.
Xia Zhi was speechless, she had already torn her face, Yang Xinyi still wanted to go back to her parents' house, this was really self-inflicted.
Xia Zhi didn't care about them, opened the dim sum, and let Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo eat it.
Xia Jianye can't cook, let alone Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo, can't this son-in-law even eat a meal when he returns home?
Xia Jianye looked very embarrassed, and even a little annoyed.
Xia Zhi didn't feel anything, Yang Xinyi and Xia Ling were not there, she was more comfortable.
When he entered the kitchen, Xia Zhi found that the Xia family didn't even buy meat during the Chinese New Year, but there were some white noodles and some vegetables.
Xia Zhi immediately decided to make croquettes, Yang Xinyi was stingy, and when she came back and found that Xia Zhi had used all the oil for croquettes and cooking, she should be so angry that she vomited blood, Xia Zhi couldn't care so much.
Summer solstice fried vegetable balls first, in the past few days of the New Year, Xia Jianye father and son were hungry at home, Yang Xinyi cooked a meal when she was in a good mood, and lay on the bed without moving when she was in a bad mood, even if she cooked, the fried vegetables were the same as boiled in clear water, and they were a little salty, where are the fried vegetable balls on the summer solstice delicious.
As soon as a pot was fried, Xia Aiguo brought a bowl to Xia Jianye and Gu Beicheng, and the remaining bowl was for him and Xia Aidang, you and me, and they would eat it all after a while.
The freshly fried vegetable balls are not too hot, and they are said that they are delicious, and the summer solstice will not save Yang Xinyi fuel, so she directly fried a large pot of vegetable balls, and was almost eaten by the four of them.
On the summer solstice, I fried the sour and hot potato shreds, the potato shreds were shiny and shiny, and they were sour and spicy in the mouth.
Xia Ai was a small person and didn't have any heart, so he immediately said, "Eldest sister, the dishes you cook are really delicious, much better than the dishes made by my mother, what does my mother cook?" It's like pig food. ”
Xia Aiguo glanced at Xia Aiguo, didn't say anything, and felt that what his brother said was right.
After frying the vegetable balls and stir-frying the vegetables, there was almost not much oil left, and Xia Zhi directly used a few catties of white flour saved by Yang Xinyi to make cakes, and there was no oil left.
Just after lunch, Gu Beicheng and Xia Zhi planned to leave, but they didn't expect the door to open at this time, Yang Xinyi and Xia Ling walked in, Yang Xinyi had a happy face on her face, and Xia Ling pouted with indignation, obviously very unhappy.
Seeing Xia Zhi and Gu Beicheng, Yang Xinyi ignored Xia Zhi, walked to Gu Beicheng's side enthusiastically, and greeted, "Beicheng is here." ”
Gu Beicheng didn't want to deal with Yang Xinyi, so he nodded lightly and didn't speak.
When Xia Jianye saw Yang Xinyi, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "Why did you come back at this point?" Haven't eaten yet, have you? ”
Yang Xinyi waved her hand absently and said, "I didn't eat it." Of course, he said, "My mother's family is poor, and my mother doesn't cook much, so let me come back to eat." ”
Everyone was speechless, this Chinese New Year went to her parents' house to visit relatives, but Yang Xinyi brought pastries, but she didn't even eat a meal.
Xia Jianye sighed deeply, and didn't want to say anything anymore, he was tired.
Yang Xinyi said to herself, "Lao Xia, let me tell you, Gangzi has found a good daughter-in-law this time." ”
Yang Xinyi's face was full of joy, and she said proudly, "I also saw that girl, she was born white and fat, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a boy when the time comes, and..."
Yang Xinyi's voice was an octave higher, she deliberately glanced at Xia Zhi, and said loudly, "That girl is still the daughter of our village party secretary, and our family is fighting for the old Yang family." ”
White and fat? It's not easy to eat like this these days.
Seeing Yang Xinyi's happiness, Xia Jianye turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to it.
Xia Ling was coquettish at Xia Jianye and said aggrievedly, "I'm hungry!" ”
For his daughter, Xia Jianye was naturally distressed, and said busily, "There are still some vegetable balls fried by your eldest sister before in the kitchen, you can go and eat them!" ”
Xia Ling glanced at Xia Zhi, pursed her lips, and slipped into the kitchen.
Yang Xinyi, who was talking happily on the side, suddenly heard Xia Jianye's words, her voice was stunned, her nose moved, and then she smelled the fragrance of food in the room.
Yang Xinyi's face changed suddenly, she slapped her thigh, sprinted two steps into the kitchen, and then a wail sounded, "Ouch! Whoever killed a thousand knives, who used up all my oil, what a loser. ”
Xia Jianye heard Yang Xinyi pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and immediately said angrily, "You get out of here, you dare to say it again, Lao Tzu has to divorce you today." ”
Xia Zhi's face was expressionless, but she smiled in her heart, today she used up half a jar of oil stored by Yang Xinyi, and she had to make Yang Xinyi feel distressed to death.
After all, Yang Xinyi is the elder of Xia Zhi, and it is not easy for Xia Zhi to say anything in front of Xia Jianye, otherwise if it spreads, even if Xia Zhi is reasonable, he will be criticized.
Gu Beicheng's eyes turned cold, and he said to Xia Jianye, "I went back to the door with Xia Zhi, Aunt Yang was not at home and didn't prepare food for us, Xia Zhi was tired and tired of cooking for everyone, but now it has caused Aunt Yang to scold for a while, it seems that Aunt Yang does not welcome our husband and wife back to the door?" ”
