The children of the Bai family happily swept the yard, only to hear the conversation in the house, and they didn't know what was said.

As a result, they knew at the same time as their parents that their grandmother was going to the capital on the sixth day of the new year.

"What's that? Mom, are you serious? Poplar plucked out his ears, suspecting that he had misheard.

Dahu was more direct: "Grandma, you are so old, can you go so far away?" ”

Other sons and grandchildren also reacted and spoke out against it.

"That's it, this winter's mom, you're running around, what should you do when you bump into it, my mother-in-law fell last winter, and now she can't move."

"Grandma, how busy my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law are, don't make trouble. When I have summer vacation, how many of us will go with you? ”

"Mom, I can't work without you at home, don't-"

"Shut up!" Huang Fenglai suddenly raised his voice.

All voices stopped abruptly, and he looked at Huang Fenglai's expression cautiously.

"Am I so old? How old am I, I'm only 70, I can run and jump and I'm not old. What do you call me to make trouble, it's that your sister-in-law and uncle are too busy, Jelly Bean is home alone, and they need me. Also," Huang Feng looked at Huang Meiling, who was the last to speak, "You are also a grandmother, you should take care of your own house, have I always been in charge of words?" ”

At this moment, Huang Fenglai really felt that what her little girl said was right.

If you don't go to the capital now, take advantage of the willingness of her in-laws to pick her up, how will she go alone in the future?

There is also a large family, she has been busy for the Lao Bai family for more than 50 years, and she is planning for her children wholeheartedly, and the children are now living well.

And what about her?

I have been trapped in the small Xiangyang Village all my life, and the farthest place I have ever been to is in the city, what is the meaning of life?

Huang Fenglai thought of her in-laws, there were farmers who had never been to the city in their lives, some were tired to death, and some were flying all over the world with infinite scenery, she always felt that she was not enough to be compared to the top, and more than to be below.

Now I find that this is more meaningless, she is her, she has her life.

She always told her two daughters that she would go out in the future, have her own career and life, don't rely on men, and can't trap herself...... But what about her, until now, she is still trapped in this small mountain village.

Is it the family that is trapping her? Maybe it used to be, but now it's herself who traps her.

She is so old, why should she have so many scruples, her children are also very good, what happened to her letting go?

Serving others all her life, she also wants to think about herself.

Everyone in the Bai family didn't hear the next sentence for a long time, and when they turned their heads, they found that Huang Fenglai's eyes were wide open, and he was smiling and full of anticipation.

Did you think of anything good?

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go if I decide to go!" Huang Fenglai made the final decision.

"Mom-"

"Grandma—"

When Bai Liu entered the door, he saw a family of all sizes circling around the old lady, but the old lady turned a deaf ear.

"Didn't you say you're going to make a pig-killing dish tomorrow?" She pointed outside, "Grandpa Jelly Bean asked someone to send a sheep and a lot of beef, and we will eat it tomorrow, I want to ask if you have any recipes you want to eat." ”

Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan have never eaten pig-killing dishes, but she feels that they are used to eating fine food, and they may not be used to eating extensive pig-killing dishes.

So plan to make some other dishes, so many people, and there is no trouble with leftovers.

"What kind of pig to kill, Mom is going to run away from home." Poplar sullen.

Running away from home?

Bai Liu frowned: "Mom is going with me, not going to wander, do you want to be so excited?" ”

Bai Lin said angrily: "Yes, Mom hasn't been anywhere for so many years, can we not worry?" ”

Bai Liu suddenly realized one thing, she and her sister had lived in the county for a period of time when they were in high school, and the three elder brothers only went to junior high school in the commune, and then they stayed at home all the year round.

From marriage to childbirth, for so many years, except for the third brother Baiyang, who moved to the county seat, but came back every three or five times...... The eldest brother and the second brother may not have been away from the old lady for more than half a month.

It turned out to be reluctant.

"Don't worry, I promise to bring you back the happy old lady, am I so unreliable?" Bai Liu thought about it, and said, "Mom, because she is worried about her children, after so many years in the old Bai family, you don't want her to go out to see more?" Wait, how long will you have to wait? Can Mom afford to wait? ”

Everyone in the Bai family stopped talking in an instant.

They realize that their thoughts are a bit selfish, and they make it difficult for their mother to move an inch in the name of love, but her mother keeps making them try to get out.

Bai Shu stood up suddenly: "Let Mom go to the capital to have a look, we will have time in the future, take Mom to more places to take a look." I've stayed in the Northeast all my life, and it's fresh to go anywhere outside. ”

"Mom can go anywhere she wants!"

The Bai family also understood, and they all said that they would take their mother/grandmother to more places in the future.

Huang Fenglai was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his face were full of happiness: "Where are you going, prepare things for me first, tomorrow our family will kill pigs, is the sauerkraut cut?" And steamed buns, all steamed? ”

"Here, let's cut it."

A group of people dispersed in an instant, and killing the pig tomorrow was a serious matter, and I almost forgot about it.

Bai Liu followed behind them and listened to tomorrow's plan, there were a lot of dishes, she still didn't ask, and went back to stew beef and mutton by herself.

Everyone eats together, and whether you are full or not is secondary, and more important is the atmosphere when you eat.

She added two more dishes to everyone.

Braised beef, stewed lamb chops...... So it was decided.

Rural people have just eaten a full meal, and they are not used to paying attention to anything fine and plating, they pay more attention to affordability and liveliness.

Bai Liu brought braised beef and lamb chops to the table, and the guests who came to eat the pig-killing dishes were very satisfied.

It's still the most down-to-earth to eat meat.

Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan also think it's good, they usually eat very coldly, even if they go out as guests, they try each other and make false promises, it is impossible to be lively, but there are a lot of intrigues.

On the contrary, it seems that everyone's smiles today are very simple.

"Are you used to eating sauerkraut?" Zhao Kui smiled and asked Song Jingyun, "I heard that you southerners don't eat sour cabbage, so what do you eat in winter?" ”

Song Jingyun said bluntly: "I'm not used to eating sour cabbage, I haven't eaten it before." It's not too cold in winter, and we can grow vegetables and eat vegetables. ”

"So good?" Zhao Kuifa was a little surprised, "I heard that the south is not cold in winter, but I didn't expect that the ground can still grow vegetables without freezing." ”

Zhou Xiucai on the side took the opportunity to interject: "Our country is big, if you talk about it in detail, I heard that it doesn't snow in the south for a year." ”

Song Jingyun nodded: "It's true that it doesn't snow, we see that snow is very novel." ”

"Rain and snow can't be compared, and winter is much warmer." Zhou Xiucai finished expressing his envy, his voice changed, and he showed off, "Xiang Nan said that he was going to move to the capital, and the capital must not be as cold as our northeast, my son just dares to think and dare to do, and he has a chance!"
