Chapter 679: The Best Sister of the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role (9)
"Yes, yes, go home and prepare to get married, I know."
The colleague showed an "I understand" smile:
"The elders all follow the same routine. The first step is to let you go home, then arrange a series of blind dates for you every few days, and then get married. That's how I was fooled in the first place. Fortunately, my family is quite reasonable.
, I will agree to go to work even after getting married. If you marry a small-minded person, he will think you are attracting flowers even if you stand at the counter, and he will insist on letting you stay at home to do housework and take care of the children... so I say you don't get married.
I just quit my job..."
Xu Yin: "..."
After being forced to accept some kind words from her colleague, she left the mall as if running away and breathed a sigh of relief.
I originally wanted to buy some daily necessities for my family in this mall, but I decided to forget it now and move to another place. Otherwise, the eldest sister would have thought she was getting married, otherwise why would she have bought so many things?
She made a prompt decision, called a taxi, and asked the chef to take her to the largest supermarket nearby. She bought some daily necessities, rice, flour, grains and oils. She saw a new batch of green-skinned tangerines arriving in the fruit and vegetable section to help farmers. She tried one, except that the skin was a little bit...
It was thick, with a lot of orange veins, but not sour, so I weighed five pounds.
When checking out, the shelves close to the cashier were filled with books. She thought, yes! She could go to the bookstore and buy some books on aquaculture and take them back to her parents.
The educational level of the Xu family is low, but they basically know common Chinese characters. Even if they can't understand, they still have themselves.
Just do it if you think of it.
Xu Yin left three large bags of items at the supermarket service counter, rushed to the bookstore two streets away, and bought a few books. In addition to aquaculture, she also bought technical instructions related to fruit tree planting. It would be better not to use them than to use them.
I don't think it's any good to use it.
After buying the books, I rushed back to the supermarket, grabbed my things, hailed a passing Airbus taxi, and went straight to the bus station.
When I changed to the urban and rural bus and got off at the entrance of the village, the setting sun fell on the Xishan Col, revealing only the upper half of the arc.
Time is so wasted!
Just going out like this, most of the day was gone.
No wonder there are fewer and fewer young people in the village.
In the past two years, the village has been connected to the Internet, and some smart people have gone back to their hometowns to sell local products, adding some youthful vitality to the village.
But most people, after going out to work, are not willing to come back.
No matter how hard, tiring or sad it is in a foreign country, you can always earn more than farming in the village, and life is more convenient than in the village. When you go out, you are right in the bustling city. You can encounter several supermarkets and convenience stores within a few steps. If you don’t want to go out for shopping, you can still go shopping.
Order takeout.
Unlike in the village, the courier can only be dropped off at the village committee at the entrance of the village road. If your home is far from the village committee, you have to go around half the village to pick up the courier, so you might as well go directly to the town to buy it.
Zhao Xiuhua was surprised when she saw Xu Yin returning with three large bags of daily necessities, including rice, flour, grains and oil.
It's not like I haven't seen my daughter come back with big and small bags before, but most of the things she bought were her own clothes, shoes, and cosmetics. Today, the sun is shining in the west. She actually knows how to add things to the house.
I just bought too much.
"We still have shampoo and soap at home; what's the point of buying a dishcloth? Your brother's old T-shirt can't be used just by tearing it off a few times... You brought all this back by yourself? Can you carry it?"
?You should call back and ask your cousin-in-law to pick you up at the station."
"It's okay. I recently discovered that I'm quite strong. I just didn't like working before." Xu Yin put down her things and stretched her wrists.
"Sister, why did you buy so many green-skinned oranges?" Xu Chuan peeled an orange, tasted it, and turned away in disgust, "It's so sour and the skin is thick. It's not as delicious as the ones we grow ourselves."
Xu Yin: "..."
Yes, there are indeed two orange trees behind the Xu family house. They were planted when the four bungalows were built, and they are probably twenty years old now.
"Your sister wants to eat oranges, so just buy them. Our oranges are not ready to eat yet." Xu Yishan washed his hands and came out and said.
He arrived home one step ahead of his daughter and divided the fish and shrimps he had just caught into two basins.
Now that I had some free time, I peeled an orange, threw half of it into my mouth, and said, "Isn't this quite sweet?"
Xu Chuan: Just open your eyes and tell lies!
Xu Yin thought thoughtfully: "Dad, how come our oranges are so delicious?"
"Then how do I know? Maybe it's the relationship between water and soil."
"How about we plant a circle of citrus on the shore next to the fish pond? I was in the bookstore today and saw a book about fruit-based fish ponds. It said that if you plant fruit trees on the bank of the lake, fish like to eat the withered fruit flowers.
The dung mud can fertilize fruit trees, so the fish raised will be fatter and the fruits grown will be more delicious..."
"..."
Girl, are you taking too big a step? Be careful of holding back!
…
Xu Yishan immediately thought that his daughter had resigned and she would probably feel uncomfortable if she didn't find something to do.
Besides, the fish ponds are all contracted, so what’s the point of planting a circle of orange trees? Local orange saplings are very cheap, and it’s just a matter of digging a hole and planting them.
Even if there is no fruit and the fruit is not delicious, who wouldn’t want to make their fish pond look beautiful?
"kind!"
The head of the family, Xu Yishan, made the decision proudly.
Zhao Xiuhua: "..."
Without the check of 100,000 yuan that your daughter got back, you have been digging and searching to build a fish pond, and now you are extremely proud.
Xu Chuan: "..."
Dad, just let me go. I'm a soft-spoken person, and you probably picked it up from the trash can!
In any case, the first family meeting after the Xu family took over the fish pond ended successfully (stunnedly).
That night, Xu Yishan showed off his Xu family's ancestral cooking skills by making a small fish dish in a stone pot and steaming a plate of mandarin fish with scallion oil.
There are also the Crescent Lake snails and prawns, which are small and meatless but extremely delicious. They are stir-fried with the sauce made by themselves over high heat, and finally sprinkled with garlic leaves as a garnish. Even before they are taken out of the pan, they are so fragrant that Xu Chuan is standing on tiptoe in the kitchen.
The door is eagerly awaited.
"Dad, can dinner be served? There are only four people in our family. How many dishes do you want to cook?"
"come here."
Xu Chuan was summoned by his father.
I thought I was going to give him a bite of shrimp that had just come out of the pot, and when I was about to open my mouth happily, I didn't expect that his father stuffed his mouth with the unwashed pot.
"Get some water and wash it clean, and then I'll teach you how to make the special dishes passed down from our ancestors."
Xu Chuan: "..."
I just want to try some food. Hello.
Dad, just tell me, are you lazy and don’t want to wash the pot, so you called me in?
Xu Chuan didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his father. He complained in his heart, but he still cooperated obediently in his actions.
"Dad, how many specialty dishes have been passed down from our ancestors?"
At one moment he said that the stone pot fish was passed down from his ancestors, and at another he said that the steamed mandarin fish was passed down from his ancestors... Probably in his father's eyes, all the dishes that the Xu family can cook are all the work of their ancestors.
