"Yuan Hai, this fish is not small."

As soon as I persuaded my grandmother not to be angry, my mother suddenly spoke.

Ji Yuanhai didn't answer, knowing that his mother must still want to send fish to his mother's family when he speaks now.

Just as he has long remembered the Wang family in his heart, it is also difficult for him to have warmth for his mother and brother-in-law, and he does not expect too much family affection in return.

Even if he gave the whole fish to his mother and asked her to send it to her mother's house.

She was happy and praised herself, and seemed to be close to her, so what?

Next time, she will still choose her brother-in-law and her mother's family instead of Ji Yuanhai and Ji Yuanshan.

Ji Yuanhai's silence made her mother obviously dissatisfied, and she said: "With such a big fish, our family can't eat it all in one meal." ”

"It's just rained, the ground is still muddy, and the production team is not working, I'll go to your grandma's house today to have a look."

Ji Yuanhai still didn't speak, he didn't want to give, and he didn't want to quarrel with his mother.

But the grandmother spoke: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you can go to relatives...... Bring two pieces of fish. ”

Ji Yuanhai looked at his grandmother with some surprise, but his grandmother smiled at him, and the wrinkles on her face expanded slightly.

Ji Yuanhai's mother was overjoyed when she heard this: "Okay, mother! I'll go! ”

I got up and took the basket, loaded two large pieces of freshly cut fish about three or four catties, covered it with a towel, and left the house in a hurry.

After she left, grandma said to Ji Yuanhai: "That's also our relative." ”

"I didn't give it to him last time you caught fish, because I felt that it was not easy to satisfy my hunger with meat; There is indeed a lot of fish and meat this time, and your mother is asking for something for your son again, can you still keep not giving it to her? Don't let her go to her mother's house? ”

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both listened to their grandmother's words.

Grandma continued: "According to the etiquette of visiting relatives, 'going back to my parents' house would have to bring some gifts. ”

"While we just have it in our hands, let her go back to her generous mother's house; She is happy, our family also has face, and she also takes care of our relatives. ”

Face......

Ji Yuanhai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The older generation in rural areas naturally has their own understanding of interpersonal relationships and due etiquette.

If everything does not change drastically, then it seems to be the safest for Grandpa to build an adobe house in the future and live in peace.

The kinship that grandma said and the face of etiquette are also well considered.

However, with the beginning of the era when everything looked at money, the concept of simple neighborhoods and the concept of life in the countryside soon changed.

The "face" and etiquette of some relatives and neighbors will be worthless and even toxic.

This is something that even grandparents can hardly imagine.

If you are not careful, your heart is soft, and you feel that your relatives will not harm others, so you become a guarantor of the loan...... By that time, relatives and neighbors gradually faded away, and living their own lives became the norm.

All this is something that Ji Yuanhai can't explain to his grandparents, and he can only promise them the experience of the older generation first.

This is also the reason why Ji Yuanhai doesn't want to save face for his mother and uncle, and even wants to break off his relatives with his grandmother's family - the most important and interdependent kinship in the eyes of rural people today is actually like that in the future.

Not to mention, the mother's indifference to Ji Yuanhai and the absolute selfishness of the uncle are all verified by memory.

Grandma asked Ji Yuanhai's mother to bring fish and meat back to her parents' house, and her grandfather and father agreed to this matter later.

The field is still muddy, and there is no way to work in the field, but the members can have a relaxing day today.

At noon, a pot of fish was stewed in a large iron pot.

The family around the table in the hall have opened their stomachs to eat fish, the fish is bigger, it seems to have fewer spines and more meat, although it is not as oily and fragrant as pork, but it is good to satisfy cravings and replenish the flesh of the body.

After eating a full meal, Ji Yuanshan patted his stomach and said, "Yuan Hai, when will you catch fish again, it's so good to eat!" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "If you want to eat, I will catch it again this evening." ”

Grandpa reminded: "Yuanshan, Yuanhai, I have to talk about it in a few days, if our family catches fish and stews fish every day, there will definitely be red eyes in the village." ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded in response.

After eating, grandma and Lu Heling cleaned up the pots and bowls.

In the afternoon, the production team did not work, and Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were bored staying in the house.

"Out for a walk?" Ji Yuanhai proposed.

Lu Heling was a little excited about this proposal.

But think about it, when I go to chat with the educated youth, I say the same things in the past.

The intellectuals are still quite prejudiced against Ji Yuanhai, thinking that he is an ordinary farmer, and when the time comes, he will not speculate, but will not be comfortable.

The other villagers didn't have much to say...... If Lu Heling is enthusiastic, laughing and laughing with the rural women, she really can't do it.

It's not that she's arrogant and upright, but she really doesn't have a relationship with each other.

People like to talk about some rural things in their own village and the next village, and Lu Heling can't interject.

A little depressed told Ji Yuanhai all his considerations, Lu Heling said: "It's quite uncomfortable to go out like this, let's stay at home." ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and raised his eyebrows with her: "What are you doing at home?" ”

Lu Heling was stunned for a moment, and asked repeatedly: "Yes, what are you doing at home?" ”

After all, she is not a girl in the future, and she hasn't understood the meaning of Ji Yuanhai's ridicule for a while.

When Ji Yuanhai saw her like this, it was not easy to tell her that meaning.

"Then let's talk about our future ideals?"

Speaking of ideals, Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai have said it more than once.

Lu Heling said a few words, and Ji Yuanhai grabbed her palm and slowly flicked her fingers.

Lu Heling was already a newlywed wife, and gradually felt the charming atmosphere, her face gradually turned red, and she couldn't say anything.

whispered, "What about the daytime...... Yuan Hai ......"

The family is full of people, and Ji Yuanhai can't really do anything.

It's just that newlyweds inevitably don't kiss enough, so they rubbed their skin and kissed for a while.

Lu Heling's small mouth opened slightly, and it was difficult to breathe.

Ji Yuanhai's eyes became more and more hot, almost flattening her on the spot.

It's a pity that there are no people and no time.

In desperation, Ji Yuanhai had no choice but to suppress his anger and walked out: "I'll go out for a walk first!" ”

As soon as he left the house, his mother came back happily: "Yuan Hai, have you eaten?" ”

"Eat." Ji Yuanhai replied.

"Did you leave me food?" Mother asked.

Ji Yuanhai was speechless for a moment: It's three o'clock in the afternoon, you sent fish, didn't you come back from lunch?

That's it, it's silly fun!

"I didn't pay attention, you go home and ask my grandma, she knows." Ji Yuanhai said, staggering with his mother.

Behind her, the mother muttered, "I can't eat it......

Ji Yuanhai couldn't evaluate whether she was pitiful or not for a while.

Walking along the alley, a big black butterfly with golden wings flew towards him, spreading its wings the size of a palm, Ji Yuanhai watched the big butterfly fly high and went to the other side of the village.

Just two steps away, Wang Lao Er ran around the corner with his legs crooked and panting.

The two looked at each other, and Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised: What is Wang Lao Er doing here?
