Chapter Ninety-Four: The Broken House
When the taxi stopped, Yan's father was fishing in the pool behind the house.
The pond is built at the back of the house, it is a small pond of less than two square meters, built with bricks, usually there is no water in the pond, that is, after the fish pond is cleared in winter, some fish are left in it, and you can eat a little fresh fish during the New Year.
The pond is not big, and if you want to eat fish, you can always take a net and fish in it.
Yan Xin's family has a fish pond with a water surface of about one acre, and some fish will be raised every year, and the big fish will be collected by fishmongers, and they can be sold when the pond is cleared, and the crucian carp or something will be raised in this small pond, which can be eaten by themselves, or they can be sold in the town during the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, this half-catty large crucian carp was sold at a high price.
A decade ago, they would keep such fish in cages in fish ponds, which were easy to catch.
But in the past few years, fish thieves were so rampant that the fish kept in the cages would be stolen by others, so such a pond was built behind the house.
Hearing the sound of parking and talking, he guessed that his son had returned with his object, so he hurried through the hall with a net bag.
Inside the net pocket were four half-catty crucian carp, which were jumping around.
When he came over, he saw that his son was giving the taxi driver the fare and asking for the taxi driver's mobile phone number.
Next to her son, a girl in a yellow trench coat stood with a bunch of things in both hands.
Just by looking at it casually, you can see that the girl is very beautiful and tall, and standing with Yan Xin, she is not much shorter.
I was a little dazed all of a sudden, thinking: "Such a beautiful girl, can she really look up to my son?" ”
Xiao Shiyu also saw Yan's father, a little unexpected, and thought to herself: "His father is so old!" How old does this have to be? ”
A smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in greeting: "Hello uncle." ”
mentioned the pair of wine he was carrying in his left hand: "This pair of Gujing tribute wine was brought by me." ”
He lifted the two bags he was carrying in his right hand: "Here are down jackets and woolen sweaters, which Yan Xin just bought for you when he went to town." ”
Yan's father reacted a little wooden, and some embarrassed: "Alas, hello, this, you don't need to bring a gift." ”
Yan Xin saved the mobile phone number of the taxi master, then took two bags of clothes from Xiao Shiyu's hand, and introduced while walking home:
"Shishi, this is my dad."
"Dad, the girlfriend I'm talking about now, surnamed Xiao, is called Xiao Shiyu."
Yan's father looked a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to receive his son's object.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of my deceased wife: "If she was still there, it would be great." ”
Ne shook the fish in the net pocket and said:
"I ...... I went to the kitchen first to clean up the fish. ”
When his son's object came to the door, he became the most restrained one.
After the death of his wife, the father and son depended on each other for a few years, and an outsider suddenly appeared, which made him quite uncomfortable.
It's really better to have a hostess at this time.
Yan Xin knew that his father was uncomfortable, so he said, "You go and get busy, I'll put my things down." ”
took Xiao Shiyu into the hall, put away the clothes and wine, and then said to her with a smile: "Aren't you shocked to see my house?" I'm guessing you've never seen such a dilapidated house, right? ”
He wasn't embarrassed.
The first Xiao Shiyu is not his girlfriend, this is an extra who was paid for, he is an employer, and he has a sense of superiority in his identity.
The second, the house is in ruins, but it will soon be torn down and rebuilt to build a large villa that the villagers envy.
He is also a person who has a huge sum of two or three hundred thousand yuan in his hands now, and the stocks he bought can become tens of millions if they are really like the stray cats in reincarnation boast about.
I have a lot of confidence in my heart, and I won't feel inferior because of this broken house.
In my previous life, I felt that I couldn't hold my head up in front of people I knew because I lived in such a dilapidated house at home, but now I don't feel like this.
After coming back, he also used his mobile phone to take pictures of all corners of the dilapidated house, preparing to build the villa in the future and come back to remember the time of his youth.
In the future, when I have children, I have to let them see this dilapidated house from time to time, receive a sweet education, and let them understand how the old father started from scratch.
For this dilapidated house, he has no inferiority complex at all.
His attitude of calmly facing poverty made Xiao Shiyu evaluate him a lot higher, and he saw the kind of confidence that many young people do not have.
smiled and replied: "It's not that I haven't seen a more dilapidated house than this, but it's all in film and television works." ”
Yan Xin said with a smile: "I won't tell you, if there is no other place to build a house, I want to keep this house well, in the next ten years, it will be cultural relics worth protecting." is used to shoot film and television works with the theme of the old society, which is quite good. ”
Xiao Shiyu laughed, clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea, such a house with the characteristics of the times, there are not many now, and it has to be protected." ”
Dad Yan was handling the crucian carp in the kitchen, and he couldn't hear what the two people in the hall were talking about, but he could hear Xiao Shiyu's laughter.
With more than 40 years of life experience, he can also hear that this is not a perfunctory laugh.
The hanging heart fell, and I thought to myself: "This girl's family is really good, she is not angry when she sees such a dilapidated house in my house, and she can still talk and laugh with my son." ”
Yan Xin took Xiao Shiyu around the front and back of the house, Xiao Shiyu had never seen such a poor family, but she was poor and fresh, and she looked at it as a surprise.
He even took out his mobile phone to take a few photos, and the camera was shot at the most shabby scenes.
Yan Xin squinted at her mobile phone, which is also Nokia's mobile phone, and she can also take pictures and go on QQ, which is estimated to cost thousands of yuan.
thought to herself: "This old classmate doesn't seem to be short of money, how could he marry an old man who is dozens of years older than her for money?" It can't really be true love, right? ”
After turning around and turning to the kitchen, his father was scaling crucian carp at this time, and asked, "There are no cabbages at home, right?" If I don't, I'll go to the vegetable garden and chop a few pieces and stir-fry some choy sum. ”
Yan's father replied: "It's already been cut and washed." ”
Yan Xin sighed, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already half past ten.
Ask Xiao Shiyu: "Do you know how to cook?" ”
Xiao Shiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay...... I sometimes cook and eat by myself at home. ”
Yan Xin smiled and said, "Why don't you cook the lunch at noon?" ”
Father Yan and Xiao Shiyu were stunned.
Yan's father thought to himself: "Is this child confused?" How can anyone who comes to the door for the first time cook? ”
Xiao Shiyu thought to herself: "You really don't treat me as an outsider." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Yan's father hurriedly said, "You guys can play, I'll cook." ”
Yan Xin explained to Xiao Shiyu with a smile: "The main reason is that the dishes made by my father are really not delicious, and the taste is still a bit heavy, I'm afraid you won't get used to it." ”
This is the big truth, and Yan's father is embarrassed.
Poor families, if they can make do with their diet, they don't have the energy to pay attention to it, and they don't have the ability to pay attention to it, so their cooking skills are really average, and they can't even say that they have cooking skills, they can only say that they can cook their meals, and the taste is really poor.
Xiao Shiyu laughed and said, "Okay, but the dishes I cook are also very ordinary, just don't dislike it." ”
