Chapter 153: Mother-in-law preference
"Peace, eat chicken stewed mushrooms at noon!"
Guo Yan walked in from outside, smiled and said:
"Mom said, your new aunt has to treat you well."
Jiang Ping'an was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"It's too grand, why don't you persuade it? It's good for the chicken to keep it to lay eggs! ”
Guo Yan shook her head and said, "I can't persuade it, and my mother just caught a little rooster." ”
"Roosters can also be raised and sold for money!" Jiang Ping'an hurriedly got up, planning to go out to dissuade him.
Guo Lin smiled and said: "Don't go safely, my mother is also kind, if you really want to persuade her, she will be unhappy." ”
Jiang Ping'an hesitated, sat down again, and said curiously: "How many chickens do you have at home?" ”
"Four hens, two roosters, all for the swallow when she gets married." Guo Lin replied with a smile.
"If you want to hold a banquet when you get married, Swallow's Pavilion Banquet will not be shabby with these chickens on the table."
"In addition, in the past few years, when I am not farming, I have also built a few sets of furniture, which I will only take away when the swallow gets married."
Jiang Ping'an was surprised: "Brother Guo or carpenter?" ”
"Hehe, I'm not a carpenter, I've studied for a few days, and I can only make some simple furniture." Guo Lin said modestly.
"The furniture made by my brother is straight, without patterns but strong and durable, I like it very much." Guo Yan said with a smile.
She walked over to Jiang Ping'an and sat down, and continued:
"Mom just said that I would take two hens with me when I went back to the city, but I didn't agree."
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "You did the right thing, how good it is for that hen to keep to lay eggs, it's too wasteful to eat it." ”
"Hee-hee, I don't think so, I just don't think I can finish it when I take it back." Guo Yan said with a smile.
"Now that the weather is hot, if you can't finish a meal, it will be bad, so it's better to wait for the weather to cool down before taking it away."
Jiang Ping'an glanced at her and said, "Do you really want to confirm the sentence that the daughter who married out and spilled the water?" ”
"Now that we're not married, your elbow is turning out?"
Guo Lin laughed and said: "It's not so serious, those chickens were originally meant to be given to swallows." ”
At the same time, he was also very pleased, regardless of whether what Jiang Ping'an said was sincere or false.
But when these words are spoken, they are still very knowledgeable, not shallow and only know how to take advantage.
"Also, when the swallow gets married, the uncle and relatives will also send some chickens or eggs." Guo Lin added.
"In short, even if you don't hold a banquet, you will let the swallow marry beautifully."
Jiang Ping'an glanced at Guo Yan and said with a smile: "Then I will make a lot of money by marrying Yanzi!" ”
"Hee-hee, now you know what you're earning, right?" Guo Yan said with a proud face.
Jiang Ping'an nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, being able to marry a swallow is a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”
After a pause, he continued:
"Although I don't hold a banquet, I will marry Yanzi, and the procedures that should be taken will still be followed."
"When I go to the commune later, I will discuss it with Director Wei and ask his daughter-in-law to help be a matchmaker."
Guo Lin said curiously: "Director of the Commune? Ping An knows him well? ”
"Just now in the commune, Director Wei is very kind to Ping'an." Guo Yan answered with a smile.
"It's not the kind of polite and perfunctory kindness, but it's really kind, and seeing peace is like seeing relatives."
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "Director Wei and Chen Zezhong, the section chief of the Propaganda Department of our commune, are comrades-in-arms. ”
"And when I went to the city, especially when I went to school and chose a school, Chen Zezhong helped me a lot, and that's how the relationship came."
Guo Lin suddenly said: "No wonder, Ping An has a lot of connections." ”
"Hehe, it's all stained with other people's light, it's nothing." Jiang Ping'an said modestly.
In a flash, the meal was good, quite hearty.
The staple food is steamed buns made of Erhe noodles, which is a big basket.
Five seasonal vegetables, because there is no oil, so they are boiled in water and eaten cold, plus a plate of pickles and a plate of sauerkraut.
Of course, the most attractive thing is a pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, which is fragrant and mouth-watering!
Just this kind of food is very rare in the countryside, and Guo Yan's mother has put a lot of thought into it.
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and she couldn't wait to bring everything in the house to entertain Jiang Ping'an.
Because it was a family banquet and there were not many people, there was no separate table, and women and children all served to eat.
"Eat more peace, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." Guo Yan's mother smiled.
As he spoke, he took Jiang Ping'an's bowl over, sandwiched the chicken head and two chicken legs into the bowl, and sandwiched a lot of meat.
After a while, most of the chickens arrived in Jiang Ping'an's bowl.
Jiang Ping'an hurriedly said: "I often screen in the countryside, and I don't eat less meat, so you can eat more!" ”
"In this way, I will eat the chicken head, and the two chicken legs will be divided between the dog egg and Niuniu."
"When they are growing up, they need to take more nutrients."
Goudan and Niuniu are Guo Yan's nephews and nieces.
The former was more than nine years old, and the latter was more than six years old, and both attended the brigade's primary school.
In addition, Guo Yan's sister-in-law is already pregnant, and it is estimated that Guo Lin will have another son or daughter years ago.
"Peace, don't care about their little ones, they will eat a lot of good things when they grow up." Guo Yan's mother hurriedly said.
Guo Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "Mom, why do you only care about peace, what about me?" My bowl is still empty! ”
"You? Make your own soup and drink it! "Guo Yan's mother is not angry.
"Ping An came to the house for the first time today, and you have to fight?"
Jiang Ping'an took the bowl with a smile, and still gave the two chicken legs to the two children.
Then he divided half of the chicken to Guo Yan, and the other half to Guo Yan's mother, and only kept a chicken head.
Guo Yan's mother couldn't stop it, although she was still muttering, her expression was very pleased.
A woman marries a man, dresses and eats, Jiang Ping'an knows that it is better to feel sorry for Guo Yan than to give any dowry.
At the same time, Jiang Ping'an's approach made Guo Lin and his family very happy.
As for the two children, not to mention, they already screamed from their uncles and uncles.
A few adults didn't let them change it, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
A happy smile on the face of a meal.
Especially the two children, they finally had a tooth sacrifice, and their stomachs were big.
After eating, they all sat there humming and chirping, not wanting to move.
After eating and drinking, the woman was busy collecting dishes and chopsticks, while Jiang Ping'an and Guo Lin went out and wandered around.
Jiang Ping'an handed over a cigarette and asked, "Is there enough food at home?" ”
"That's what you asked, you also went out from the countryside, what's the situation still unclear?" Guo Lin shook his head and said.
Jiang Ping'an lit a cigarette and took a puff, and after exhaling the smoke, he said:
"I see that the conditions of your commune are good, so I asked, not to mention food, other aspects must be better, right?"
"Hehe, the conditions are good but the public, what does it have to do with us members?" Guo Lin sighed lightly and said.
"Every year, there is only so much food, no matter what age it is, and it is still not enough to eat."
"When the wind and rain are good, you can dig up some wild vegetables to fill the food gap."
"The past few years have not been good, and the wild vegetables are not so easy to dig, and life is a mess......
After a pause, he took a puff on his cigarette and said:
"So it's right for you to try your best to get into the city, farming, there is no future, and that's it when you're tired."
"Don't talk about that, I'll take you to see the furniture I made for the swallows, and I don't know if you like it or not."
