Chapter 122 Pick-up
Originally, such an important thing as filtering oil was tossed back in the kitchen, so as not to be seen, after all, they said that they changed the oil every day.
But there was no one on the street anymore, so they just got it outside, so as not to smell of oil smoke in the kitchen.
Xiao Fang has already watched it twice, but she still thinks it's amazing, so she left to prepare to watch it again, and by the way, she can also stay and watch some people.
After sending off the last guest, Zhao Laosi poured the starch paste while the oil in the oil pot was still hot.
After adding water starch to the oil pan, there is a crackling sound, which quickly absorbs all kinds of impurities after frying the chicken in the oil pan.
Zhao Laosi carefully took out the water starch and put it in the old basin, waited for it to be brought back to feed the chickens, and poured the green onions and ginger into the oil pot, and used the residual heat to remove the odor.
They also began to clean up the dishes and pots on the side.
At this moment, someone strode over this way.
Now most of the shops on both sides of the road have closed, so Xiao Fang subconsciously thought that the other party was here to buy fried chicken, and said without raising his head: "Happy New Year, there is no fried chicken, open at ten o'clock at noon on the sixth day of next year and buy it again?" ”
As the old saying goes, the wax moon is the year, and the first month is the year.
Not only do you have to go to relatives during the Chinese New Year, but people who have school-age children at home are either taking advantage of this time to see each other or get married at this time.
It can be said that a family earns money all year round, and there is nothing left after the New Year.
In the past, Zhao Laosi's family had to work in the field after the first and a half months.
But now that they're in business, they understand that the period after the year is when customers are most willing to pay for it.
The shops in the town open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest, and they certainly don't want to delay another day.
Therefore, when Xiao Fang collected money and looked for money today, he deliberately told everyone when he would open next year.
Xiao Jianhua smelled the fragrance in the oil pot, and then looked over, Over there, Zhao Laosi quickly closed the lid of the pot and smiled at him reluctantly: "Do you have something to do?" ”
As soon as Xiao Fang finished speaking, she looked up and found that it was her father who came, and she was also a little surprised.
Xiao Jianhua smiled but didn't smile: "Of course there is something, I will pick up my daughters to go back for the New Year." ”
Zhao Laosi's heart was sour, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
Although Xiao Fang followed Wu Julan, there was an agreement before the divorce that even if Wu Julan took Xiao Fang to remarry in the future, she was not allowed to change her surname.
In the past, when Grandma Xiao was still there, whether it was winter or summer vacation, or during the Chinese New Year, she would also send a letter to Xiao Fang to go back to live for a while.
However, Zhao Laosi originally thought that Grandma Xiao had passed away and Xiao Hong had come to live with them, which meant that the Xiao family didn't care about their sisters, and originally thought that they would not come again to let them go back for the New Year, but they didn't expect Xiao Jianhua to come.
At this moment, Zhao Laosi was really uncomfortable in his heart, to say that he treated Xiao Hong as his own daughter, it must be an exaggeration.
But he really regards Xiao Fang as his daughter, and now he and Xiao Hong get along very well, and he has been thinking about having a reunion together this year.
In the past six months, thanks to Xiao Hong's mention, they have been able to earn a lot of money.
Therefore, he and his wife also spent a lot of money privately and quietly bought fresh mutton, just to surprise them, who knew that Xiao Jianhua was here again.
This made the idea of his family reunion seem like self-deception.
Xiao Jianhua originally didn't want to pick up his two daughters back.
He is their son, and they should go back to visit him by themselves.
But yesterday, Aunt Liu brought them the 'good' news that the stepfather of the Xiao sisters had earned a lot of money.
In addition, he also brought a message for others, saying that as long as they could quietly write down the methods of the Xiao sisters to make fried chicken and give them them, they would be willing to give them 500 yuan.
This is not a small amount, which makes Xiao Jianhua and his wife tempted.
In the second half of the year, their family built a two-story red brick house, and they really hollowed out their family foundations, although they did not owe foreign debts, but they also urgently needed some money.
The black-and-white TV at home, they want to change to a color TV.
I also want to buy a refrigerator, which requires money.
What's more, if they can learn how to make fried chicken, then they can also open a store to sell fried chicken.
Therefore, Xiao Jianhua came to pick up his daughter in person.
Xiao Fang also understood that her father and stepfather had nothing to say when they were together, so she smiled and shouted: "Dad, you are here, my sister and I were still discussing when to go back to see you yesterday?" It's windy outside, shall we go inside? ”
It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and she feels that she can lie without changing her face now, all of which is the credit of her sister.
After all, Xiao Hong has been keen on counting money in the past two days, completely forgetting his own father, and never mentioning the Xiao family at all.
Xiao Jianhua smiled with satisfaction when he heard this: "Then you don't go home early, and you still want me to pick you up?" ”
Xiao Fang couldn't answer, so he could only purse his lips and smile, and after making eye contact with Zhao Laosi, he went into the house with Xiao Jianhua.
At this moment, Xiao Hong took a hot bath, changed into new clothes, and came down to blow her hair.
This hair dryer was specially bought from a department store in the city, and the Wanli brand hair dryer has a silver appearance and a chic shape, which is very fashionable.
Xiao Hong thinks that the hair dryer is very ugly, but it is really easy to use to blow her hair in winter.
Wu Julan came to blow her daughter's hair, the noise was a little loud, so she raised her voice: "You love cleanliness, you have to wash your hair and take a bath every day, what if you catch a cold on this cold day?" ”
Xiao Hong closed her eyes and enjoyed it, as if she hadn't heard it.
It's not that she loves cleanliness, it's that she really can't tolerate the strong smell of oil smoke on her body.
Otherwise, she would have let them make barbecue and sell it a long time ago.
At this moment, Xiao Fang and Xiao Jianhua entered the house.
Xiao Jianhua glanced at Wu Julan's bulging belly with unkind eyes, and snorted coldly: "At such a big age, I still have to give birth to a son desperately, and I also say that I am patriarchal!" ”
Although it has been ten years since the two divorced, Xiao Jianhua does not think that it is all his fault.
If she had given birth to a son to herself, how could she divorce her?
What made him even more uncomfortable was that Wu Julan was pregnant now, wearing a bright red down jacket, looking very young and beautiful, with a happy aura all over her body.
He didn't want to mention how aggrieved and sour he was.
Why can this woman live so well without herself?
Wu Julan didn't hear it, and after drying Xiao Hong's hair thoroughly, she said to Xiao Fang: "The hot water in the kitchen is ready, can you go take a bath?" ”
After that, he looked at Xiao Jianhua: "Can't you let your daughters spend the New Year with me?" ”
"Their surname is Xiao, and they are my daughters!" Xiao Jianhua couldn't help but show off: "The family has built a new house, of course they have to go back to live for a few more days." ”
