Chapter 223: Dried Fish
Saturday, August 26, just after 9 a.m.
Xu Dong took the Coco sisters and their eldest nephew to the station to pick up people together, but I haven't seen them for so long, and I don't know if Xiao Enya has gained some weight.
At 9:48, the train arrived on time.
Xu Dong took the three little guys and successfully received people, only Aunt Zhang and Zhang Enya came, and Uncle Zhang did not come.
Zhang Enya's child was wearing a dress and a pink hat, looking like a little princess.
"Uncle Xu......" I haven't seen each other for a few months, and Xiao Enya is actually shy.
Xu Dong stepped forward and picked up the other party, checked his weight, and then said with relief: "Well, it really has grown heavy, uncle is relieved." ”
When she was just discharged from the hospital, Zhang Enya's weight was only about 20 pounds, and she was as thin as a little radish head, and now she had meat on her arms and calves.
"Uncle Xu, I now have to eat two bowls of rice for every meal." Zhang Enya said with a happy face.
Lele was surprised on the side and said, "Sister Enya, you are so amazing!" I can only eat one bowl of rice at a time, and I can't eat any more, but my cousin is as good as you, and he can eat two bowls of rice per meal. ”
Zhang Enya asked Uncle Xu to let him down, and then walked in front of the Coco sisters.
"Sister Coco, Sister Lele, hello!"
Keke took Xiao Enya's hand and said generously: "Sister Enya, hello, let me introduce you, this is my cousin, we all call him Brother Xiaoxu." ”
"Brother Xiaoxu, hello!"
Ma Xu glanced at Xiao Enya, and felt that this sister was so well-behaved and gentle, much cuter than Coco and Lele, unlike her cousins, who knew to bully him every day.
So he said from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Enya, you are so cute!" ”
The children got to know each other, and Xu Dong asked Aunt Zhang:
"Auntie, why didn't Uncle come?"
"Your uncle can't leave, the school is expanding, and he has to be on duty every day." Aunt Zhang explained.
"Alas, it's a pity, I'm ready for the wine, just waiting for the uncle to come, why don't I have time!" Xu Dong sighed.
"Next time, there's definitely a chance." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"Yes." Xu Dong nodded, "Auntie, my room has been cleaned up, you and Enya will stay in my house for the next few days!" ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand: "Xiao Xu, let's just stay in a hotel, and I won't go to your house." ”
In these years, the accommodation is okay, but eating is definitely a big problem, and their grandparents came over this time, and even brought their own rations, which is a matter of principle.
Xu Dong persuaded for a while, but Aunt Zhang just didn't agree, and insisted on staying in a hotel, otherwise she would go back to Qindao.
Persuasion was useless, so Xu Dong had to drive them to a hotel near his house.
Since the housing reform, the ownership of these hotels belongs to the state 100%.
However, the energy above is limited, so the hotel can only be re-contracted to private management, similar hotels, inns, there are about 10,000 in Yanjing.
In addition, there are a number of guesthouses and B&Bs, but they are generally very small, usually only a few rooms, and they are not very safe.
Coming to the front desk, Xu Dong said directly:
"Boss, open a double room."
Aunt Zhang hurriedly persuaded: "Xiao Xu, a single room is fine, Enya is still young, just sleep in the same bed with me." ”
"Okay, that's a single room."
"A single room is 288 yuan a night, how many nights do you want to stay?" The receptionist asked.
"Stay two nights." Aunt Zhang hurriedly replied that Xiao Xu still has to go to work next Monday, and it is also the time for them to leave.
Xu Dong frowned and said, "Auntie, why don't you stay for a few more days?" I could have taken two days off. ”
"No need, come here this time, mainly to take Enya to see you, two days is enough." Aunt Zhang insisted.
The room was opened, Xu Dong helped Aunt Zhang carry the luggage into the room, there were not many things, only two large and one small three bags, and I didn't know what was inside.
After placing the luggage, Xu Dong spoke again:
"Auntie, come to my house for lunch at noon, you won't refuse again this time, right?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and shook her head: "Don't refuse, it just so happens that I also want to get to know your parents!" ”
……
Ten minutes later, the group finally returned to the courtyard.
Keke took Enya's hand and said with a smile: "Enya, this is my home, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest." ”
"Wow, Sister Coco, your family is so big!" Zhang Enya's child exclaimed.
Lele said proudly: "This is the house my father bought, which is much larger than the previous home. ”
"Uncle Xu is amazing!" Zhang Enya's child looked adoring.
"Woo Woo ......"
Lele stepped forward and grabbed Mark: "Mark, stop screaming, Sister Enya is not a bad person." ”
Mark screamed a few times, and then fell back on the ground, the temperature was high during the day, and the ground was still cool.
"Sister Enya, don't be afraid, Mark doesn't bite." Looking at Enya, who was trembling, Coco hurriedly comforted.
When Xu Ma saw the guest enter the door, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, probably because of the relationship with the same surname, and the two felt very close to each other as soon as they met.
Welcoming people into the living room, Coco and they dragged Enya upstairs, while the adults chatted in the living room.
Aunt Zhang took out the bag she was carrying: "Sister, we don't have any good things on Qindao, so I brought you some small dried fish, don't dislike it!" ”
To be honest, she really didn't expect that this Xiao Xu, who actually lived in a courtyard house at home, was far richer than she imagined.
Since Xiao Xu left, he will send some food to their family every month, mainly dried shrimp and dried vegetables.
She spent a lot of effort to get these small dried fish, a total of three catties and four taels, most of which were bought from fishermen, and a small part was picked up by the old couple when they were rushing to the sea.
Mother Xu hurriedly took the bag, flipped through the dried fish with her hand, and then sniffed the smell:
"Good thing, old sister, you're so kind."
"Yes, Yanjing doesn't look like the capital here, but you can't buy meat on the market at all, if these small dried fish are put on the market, customers will be guaranteed to grab their heads." Yang Lina echoed.
As an ordinary person, it is really rare to be able to get these small dried fish, and it can also be seen from here that it does make sense to eat the sea by relying on the sea.
"If you like it, I'll save some for you later." Aunt Zhang is very useful in her heart, and she always takes advantage of Xiao Xu, and she is very unhappy in her heart.
"Auntie, I like to eat dried fish very much, and I will trouble you more in the future." Xu Dong said deliberately, it's good to have contacts like this.
Yang Lina glanced at her husband meaningfully, speaking of which, those packages were still sent by her, although there were not many things, they were much more valuable than small dried fish.
