Chapter 90: Hospitality
Zhou Minqin's son is at the provincial railway station, there is a dormitory there, his granddaughter is also studying in the provincial capital, and although his daughter-in-law is in the county, she is very busy, often goes to the countryside, and does not often eat at home, even if she is free, she also runs to the provincial capital.
At the dinner table, Gu Weixuan and Si Weichen's chopsticks rarely stretched out to the meat and fish, but they couldn't stand Zhou Minqin's warm greeting.
Gu Weixuan also saw that Zhou Minqin was very distressed about Si Weichen, the nephew of his grandson, and always asked Si Weichen to eat meat, and after eating a bowl of rice, he was busy serving Si Weichen a bowl.
The bowl for eating now is not like the small bowl of later generations, one bowl is two bowls.
Gu Weixuan stopped eating more than half a bowl, saying that she had a small stomach and was usually full after eating half a bowl of rice.
As soon as Si Weichen's second bowl of rice was finished, Zhou Minqin wanted to serve it again.
"Auntie, if you're like this, I won't dare to come next time." Si Weichen hurriedly shook his head.
"You said you grew up so old that you had a few meals at your aunt's house." Every time he came, he ran away after delivering something, and Zhou Minqin rarely left his grandson and nephew to eat, so he was afraid that Si Weichen would not be able to eat enough and would be hungry.
"I'm almost out of meat, and my cousin, cousin, and cousin won't have anything to eat as soon as they come back."
No matter how Zhou Minqin persuaded Si Weichen to be reluctant to eat anymore, he was the last to finish eating, and he would immediately put away the dishes and wash them.
Gu Weixuan also brought the meat and fish back to the kitchen, and there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhou Minqin went out to open the door.
It was the old lady next door, who often came to visit the door, her husband was gone, her son was a county party committee cadre, and her daughter-in-law was a street officer.
The old lady used to be a people's teacher, but now she takes her grandson at home, cooks, and chats with Zhou Minqin the most.
What Zhou Minqin envies the most is that the old lady has two grandsons and a granddaughter, which is the prosperity of the people.
Zhou Minqin beckoned the old lady to eat, and the old lady waved her hand, "I've used it, the children in the family have gone out to play, I'll come and sit down." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the kitchen and said in surprise: "You have a guest at home, so it's unfortunate that I'm here." ”
"It's a relative of my mother's family, and the two children came to sell sweet potato leaves, and they happened to meet each other and asked them to come to the house for dinner." Zhou Minqin is also not easy to say Si Weichen's identity, because her sister died early, and the Si family is the niece's in-law, and no one in the county knows her relationship with Si Zhan.
"Yo, this sweet potato leaf looks so tender." The old lady's surname is Lin, and because her family is rooted in red seedlings, she has not been affected in the past few years, and she is already a retired teacher.
So even at this time, the old lady still likes to be called her, Mr. Lin.
That's how Zhou Minqin introduced Gu Weixuan and Si Weichen, and the two greeted the old lady politely, "Hello Teacher Lin." ”
"Okay, your sweet potato leaves are good to raise." Teacher Lin couldn't help asking, "How much is a handful?" ”
"Five cents." This time it was not Gu Weixuan who spoke, but Zhou Minqin spoke, mainly because after she ate Gu Weixuan's sweet potato leaves, she felt that it was really delicious, and she felt that she had not eaten such a delicious dish for a long time, and even when she ate it, she had one, and she never knew that sweet potato leaves were so delicious.
Although Gu Weixuan's craftsmanship is good, this sweet potato leaf tastes very smooth, fresh and refreshing, which is very suitable for Zhou Minqin's taste.
Teacher Lin felt a little expensive in his heart, Zhou Minqin naturally knew it, and said to Teacher Lin: "Well, we just cooked it to eat, you can taste it." ”
Knowing that Gu Weixuan's three sisters and brothers did not pay the tuition fees last semester, Zhou Minqin also had the heart to help, mainly because of Si Weichen, this grandson's nephew is not easy to be in the production team, and it is very necessary to make friends with the Gu family.
Teacher Lin was originally a little hesitant, but after tasting it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Give me two, no, no, I want four, um, five, five." ”
