Chapter XXVI
I went to his house before, so I know that Zhang Hu's mother's name is Jiang Lin, and she is very kind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In the vicinity of Zhang Hu's house, there are only four families, the closest is a woman, everyone calls him Aunt Zhang, the man died of illness a few years ago, and there is a son Xu Qiang who is a few years older than Zhang Hu, he went out to work a few years ago, and he usually comes back for the New Year.
I'm not familiar with the other two households, but I've seen one of them before, and there's a pretty girl in it. Further afield, there are some scattered houses in the surrounding area, Zhang Hu's family is still considered to have a head and face in the entire Ningxia Village, after all, Uncle Zhang is driving a shuttle, Zhang Hu raises a fish pond, and the family's income is much more solid than that of ordinary farming people.
As soon as we entered the fenced courtyard, a woman came out of the adobe house, who was Zhang Hu's mother, Jiang Lin, who looked a little old, but in fact the people who often did farm work in the countryside were older than the people in the city.
"Mom, they are Su Wu and his classmates." Zhang Hu said to his mother as he walked into the adobe house and proposed a table and a few benches. He said to us, "Sit down, you're welcome." ā
"It's Su Wu, I haven't been here for a while. Let's take a break, let's not suffer less along the way. Zhang Hu's mother said to us warmly, walked towards me as she spoke, and held my hand for a while.
Several of us also said hello to Zhang Hu's mother, and handed her the two bottles of liquor, we had discussed it in the carriage before, anyway, it is not so particular to go to my house, it is more appropriate to give it to Zhang Hu's house. Zhang Hu's mother wanted to refuse, but in the end, she accepted it with great enthusiasm.
"I'll go to the back fish pond to catch some more fish," Zhang Hu said to us when he walked into the house again, took out boiling water and made a few cups of strong tea.
"Zhang Hu, I'll go with you too." Zhang Zhang took a sip of water and said.
"I'll go too," Monkey Spirit and Lin Xiyu also seemed interested.
"Okay, let's go, let's go together." Zhang Hu responded happily.
I wanted to go with him, but Zhang Hu's mother pulled me, so I had to sit down. Mo Xin sat beside me and stayed.
"Su Wu, this is your girlfriend, it's really beautiful, have you brought it back to see your parents?" Aunt Jiang looked at Mo Xin and said.
"Aunt Jiang, yes, I came back this time to take Mo Xin back to see her parents." I replied.
"Well, it's a good boy. Su Wu, if you have time, you can also help me persuade my tiger. I'm over 24 years old this year, and it's time to find someone to start a family. But no matter what Lao Zhang and I say, alas, they always don't listen to us. We are getting older and older, and we are looking forward to having a grandchild. Zhang Hu's mother said with some heartache.
"Okay, no problem, I'll ask Brother Huzi later, see what he plans, and do his ideological work." I said yes.
In this way, we chatted about some homely things. I was chatting with Zhang Hu's mother when we were going to the forest behind Ningxia Village tomorrow.
Aunt Jiang suddenly interrupted me, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Su Wu, don't go, I heard that there are wild people behind now, it's scary, you must not take risks, if something happens, who is responsible?" You say yes! ā
"Savages! How can there be savages? Uncle Zhang didn't tell us that there was such a thing as a wild man today? I asked curiously.
"Lao Zhang, he doesn't believe it, I also listened to Aunt Zhang next door. I heard that there is still evidence, there are footprints or something, boss. Still ......" Zhang Hu's mother was interrupted by a voice before she could finish speaking.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense, how can there be a wild man here? If there were wild people, it would have been discovered a long time ago. Zhang Hu's voice came, and it turned out that Zhang Hu and others had returned.
I also laughed, if you want to talk about savages, I'm afraid I really don't believe that there will be, if there is, then Ningxia Village must be famous. Zhang Hu and Zhang Zhang carried a large bucket full of relatively large fish. Even the monkey spirit and Lin Xiyu were holding a fishing net in their hands, and there were three or two in it.
"Brother Huzi, you brought so much back, how did you finish eating!" I couldn't help but say.
"That's not necessarily, I can eat four or five sticks by myself, so I still don't have the strength to eat, don't worry! By the way, I haven't fed this fish before, and there are several restaurants in Mutuo Town that have designated my fish. Zhang Hu said this with a proud face.
"Yes, yes, Su Wu, you and your classmates can eat hard. Then you sit, Huzi and I will go to fish, soon. Aunt Jiang said as she took the fish in the hands of Zhang Zhang and the others.
The only one among us who could cook was Mo Xin, and she offered to help. But Zhang Hu's mother and son said that they wouldn't let her do anything, so they had to let Aunt Jiang and them go to work. The few of us sat down at the table and started chatting. It was getting dark, and my stomach was making a noise.
"Here come the fish, be careful of scalding." Zhang Hu's voice came from the adobe house. Braised red, steamed, stewed, dried flat...... All kinds of fish kept coming up, and the square table, which was not big, was suddenly full. Smelling the scent, our saliva was dripping.
"Come, everyone, eat quickly, there are two dishes, I'll serve them right away." Zhang Hu's mother handed us the dishes and chopsticks one by one and said to us.
"Aunt Jiang, where is Uncle Zhang? Do you want to wait for Uncle Zhang to come back! I asked.
"I called Lao Zhang just now, and I'm still getting a car, don't worry about him, I left it for him, you can eat it with confidence!" Zhang Hu's mother said and ran to the adobe house again.
When they were done, everyone sat down together. Only then did it start, and everyone didn't care about talking, and devoured it. In the meantime, Zhang Hu went in and took the two bottles of liquor we gave them, took one out and opened it.
Usually we don't care about smoking in school, but our future industry has decided that we have a very strict control over alcohol, and it is easy to make mistakes when drinking, so we basically don't touch alcohol. But under the hospitality, except for Mo Xin and Lin Xiyu, they didn't drink it, and the monkey spirit only drank a little bit because of the amount of wine, me, Zhang Zhang and Zhang Hu, the three of them drank it, and a bottle of liquor bottomed out after a while.
Zhang Hu got up and was about to go in to get a bottle again, Mo Xin reached out and quietly patted my big~ leg under the table, signaling me not to drink anymore.
"Brother Huzi, don't take it, when your father comes back, we'll have two more drinks together." I shouted to Zhang Hu.
"Okay, listen to you." Zhang Hu touched his head and replied.
After a full meal, everyone was happy and joined the dishwashing army, and it was all done in a few minutes.
