Chapter 253 353. Stay

There is a path wide enough for each person from the side to the back.

After passing through, there is still about ten square meters of space behind.

The original family used it to store debris.

So when they were looking at the house, they didn't see that place. When Sister Mei's husband helped clean up, he also cleaned up the backyard, cleared out all the debris, and specially used stones to cage the back to make a

A vegetable field. There is an eighty-nine-meter-high Sophora japonica tree in the corner.

In early spring, the locust tree is dry with only some dry leaves left from last year.

Mama Guan and Mama Jiang also sneaked up from behind.

"In April this year, remember to pick the locust flowers and eat them. Don't waste them."

When Mama Guan heard this, she patted Mama Jiang's hand gently.

"**, they are so busy with school, and they usually have school things to do. If they forget, we will come over and do it for them."

Mother Jiang very much agrees with this idea.

"You are so thoughtful. It looks like it's almost noon. Let's cook here and eat together before we leave."

"Okay, I'll give you a hand."

The two of them are as good as good sisters.

Nuan Nuan packed up her things and came out. Seeing Jiang's mother and Guan's mother looking so good, Nuan Nuan held Guan Mingyue's hand.

"Mingyue, look at your mother and your future mother-in-law like this. They look like real sisters. I don't know, but I think they are a family. You are so happy."

Guan Mingyue's face turned red when she was teased by Nuan Nuan, and she glanced at her shyly.

"You are so talkative, won't your future mother-in-law treat you badly? She treats you like a baby, but you still have the nerve to laugh at me."

Dad Jiang and Dad Guan tidied the yard for them. When they heard these words, the two sisters came over and snorted.

"Both of you are weighing half a catty, so don't make fun of the other. Nuannuan, your uncle Guan and I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you more briquettes, so that you two little girls will not have to buy and move them around.

I’m tired. If there’s anything else I want to buy, let me buy it for you.”

All the things at home have been purchased, and the daily necessities have been brought from here. There is basically nothing left to buy.

"There's nothing left to buy. By the way, Dad, when you pass by the delicatessen when you come back, just buy some cooked food. Let's eat more at noon today."

As he spoke, he rummaged through his small bag.

Father Jiang quickly shouted to stop her movements.

"Stop working so hard. Your dad still has enough money to buy things. Just collect your pocket money."

Jiang Ma waved her hand.

"No, let's do it all today. After I finish it, just leave a bowl for them at night. Sister, let's get started quickly. We still have to eat at noon, and this old hen needs to be stewed for a long time. You

Please help me finish the dishes, I will take care of this."

The two have a clear division of labor.

Jiang Ma quickly picked up the kitchen knife and cut the chicken into pieces, then put the cold water in the pot and boiled the water.

They dug out vermicelli from the cupboard, and for lunch they cooked chicken nuggets with potatoes, stewed vermicelli with cabbage, and steamed a full pot of rice. Fortunately, there were two briquette stoves, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.

Mother Jiang was so arrogant that Mother Guan was stunned.

My family's conditions are not bad either, but they are not so arrogant.

It seems that the Jiang family is much more powerful than what they see on the surface.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and Nuannuan was not idle either. After heating the kang, she went over to light the boiler.

Winter hasn't completely passed yet, and it's quite cold in early spring. Anyway, we have firewood at home, so don't make yourself miserable.

Guan Mingyue watched her movements curiously.

Then I carefully observed the boiler.

"Nuan Nuan, what is this? Why did you burn this and didn't even look where to open it? Why do you have such a big pot at home?"

When Nuannuan heard her words, she smiled unkindly.

"Stupid, this is not a pot that is usually used for cooking. It is used to provide hot water. Have you seen that pipe-like thing in your room?"

Hearing Nuannuan ask this question, Guan Mingyue let out a small exclamation.

"Are you talking about that thing next to the cabinet in the room? I wanted to ask you before, but I forgot. What is that?"

Nuannuan did not answer her question, but smiled mysteriously.

"You'll know after a while, but don't get too close."

This is also a charade.

Guan Mingyue helped burn firewood for a while and then the two went back.

There is tap water here in the alley.

The boiler is directly connected to the water pipe, and all exposed areas of the water pipe are covered with thick quilts to prevent the water pipes from freezing and cracking.

Over at the well, Nuan Nuan often breaks the ice on it and is prepared to use well water in case there is a problem with the tap water.

After a busy afternoon, the delicious food is on the table.

The room over there is bigger.

There was a square table set up just outside the door, and they ate here at noon.

There is a big pot of cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a big pot of potatoes stewed with chicken nuggets. The portions are quite delicious.

Nuannuan saw Dad Jiang and Dad Guan sitting together.

He stood up and took out a good thing from his cabinet.

Father Jiang and Father Guan are chatting animatedly.

Suddenly I saw something flashing past my eyes. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be a bottle of Moutai.

Father Jiang stood up immediately in excitement, holding the bottle of wine tightly with both hands.

Looking at Nuannuan with doting look on her face.

"When did you girl buy it? You hid it and didn't give it to me. If we don't stay for dinner today, I won't be able to see this bottle of wine."

This plaintive tone.

Nuannuan was amused by him.

Mother Jiang smiled sheepishly at Mother Guan.

"Our Lao Jiang has this temperament. He likes to drink a few sips too much. I usually control him at home and don't allow him to drink. But when he goes outside, his true colors are revealed."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Dad Jiang fiercely. His attitude was a 180-degree turn, and he was not as smart as her when braking.

"Drink a little less and just have a taste. We have to go home later. If you are drunk, it will be difficult to walk on the road. I will ride a bicycle to carry you back, and you will be exhausted."

Mother Jiang's words made Father Jiang a little embarrassed.

He looked at his wife aggrievedly.

"Lao Guan is here today, can we have some more drinks?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand.

Jiang Ma really has nothing to do with her.

I told him not to care about him, and chatted with Guan’s mother while eating.

The two of them talked about the house they had recently scouted for Jiang Shaoqing. It was right at the center of the distance between their home and the Guan family, and it was also quite close to where Jiang Shaoqing worked.

Since they are all old houses left over from before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the houses are a bit dilapidated. If they are to be lived in, they will have to be renovated and the furniture inside will have to be tidied up.

From decoration to furniture to when the two of them would get married and what things they should prepare, the conversation was in full swing.

When Guan Mingyue heard these words, she was so shy that she lowered her head and refused to raise her head. She was like a shy quail. She just ate the white rice in her bowl and didn't dare to reach out to pick up vegetables.<

/p>

Jiang Ma caught sight of it from the corner of her eye, quickly picked up the chopsticks and filled her bowl full of them.

I feel like I want to treat my daughter-in-law like a pig.

Guan Mingyue looked at her bowl flattered.

"Mother Jiang, that's enough. I can't even finish eating so much."

Jiang Ma smiled tenderly and gave her another chopstick of vermicelli.

"Eat more, girls have to eat fat to be cute."

Mother Guan was also happy to see Mother Jiang loving Guan Mingyue so much.

Then I saw Nuan Nuan on the side.
