Fortunately, Xue Ling had swept away the snow at the entrance of the yard, and even though the bicycle carried a lot of things, he could still enter the door smoothly.
Ouyang Mei and Cheng Tianfang, who were roasting fire in the kitchen, heard the sound and came out one after another.
Cheng Tianfang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw his brother wearing a very beautiful leather jacket: "Brother! This thing is very expensive!"
Cheng Tianyuan gently swept off the snowflakes on the leather and found that there was only a little splash of water on the leather. After wiping it off, it dried quickly. As expected, just like what his wife said, this leather jacket is warm and can hide the snow.
He smiled and swept away the snowflakes and replied: "I don't know how expensive it is. It was your sister-in-law who bought me. She bought me two pieces yesterday, which are very warm!"
After hearing this, Cheng Tianfang couldn't help looking at Xue Ling beside him, his eyes a little strange.
Leather jackets like this can cost dozens of yuan, and ordinary workers may not be able to afford them for a month.
But Xue Ling is very profitable and generous in making moves. She bought two in one go!
Xue Ling didn't pay much attention and was busy taking down the dry goods in front of the car.
"Brother Yuan, have you bought mutton and beef?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "I bought it. It's winter and it snows again. The market is very deserted. I talked about bargaining and bought a lot of them! Look! The two lamb legs are only more than five yuan, and they have added a lot of bones!
There are several elbows, all of which are hard to freeze. It should be nice to turn around and thin them a little."
He remembered Xue Ling's words before and turned to look at his own girl.
"Afang, your sister-in-law said you are a rare trip. In the morning, I specially bought ten yuan and asked me to go to the market to buy meat and vegetables to treat you. Look, she also asked me to buy you a bag of melon seeds and peanuts.
”
Cheng Tianfang took it embarrassedly, moved his mouth, and finally lowered: "Thank you... sister-in-law."
Last time they went home, they bought a lot of delicious food, and she was having a lot of fun.
She still knows her brother very well and saves a lot. She is reluctant to buy anything except rice and flour.
Today, these meat and snacks must be Xue Ling’s own idea.
Ouyang Mei shows off her family’s wealth and wealth all day long, but she is very stingy. She usually gives her some snacks at most. How can Xue Ling be as generous as she can cost ten yuan at one’s own move!
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Bone soup is being made inside. The weather is very cold. I'll ask your brother to make a small carbon stove and let's eat hot pot later!"
Cheng Tianfang swallowed his saliva as soon as he heard this and nodded: "Okay! OK!"
Cheng Tianyuan took off the big basket and moved it to the kitchen.
Xue Ling quickly poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him.
"Drink some to warm up."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled slightly, took a sip and drank.
"It's no longer cold after entering the house, and the kitchen is very warm. You can do a translation here in the afternoon. Your desk is too cold to the window."
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "I have moved the book down in the morning."
Cheng Tianfang took out a handful of melon seeds, ate them with a smile: "It's so delicious! It's delicious! I like sunflower melon seeds the most!"
After hearing this, Xue Ling looked at Cheng Tianyuan and laughed one after another.
Ouyang Mei, who was standing outside, looked a little dim and she was secretly anxious.
Afang was really brainless, and she bought her a little bit of meat and melon seeds!
Did she forget who would be her brother’s greatest help in the future?! If the Cheng family wants to be truly rich, they can only rely on her and her elder brother!
There is a small carbon stove in the corner of the kitchen, which is a little old but not broken.
Cheng Tianyuan moved it out, cleaned it with snow, then threw charcoal inside, and started to burn it.
Then, he cut the beef and mutton into thin slices, and sliced two large plates.
Xue Ling brought the bone soup, added mushrooms and made some ginger.
"The weather is cold, so we add a little more ginger when making soup. It is good for the body and can also remove the wind and cold."
Cheng Tianyuan responded happily and said, "I bought several pieces of big ginger earlier, enough for us to eat it for the New Year."
The preparations were completed soon, and the four of them gathered together to eat hot pot.
Cheng Tianfang was happily eating and kept laughing: "It's so delicious! I'm almost overwhelmed! No, brother, give me some more! The county town is so good! I'm really here right!"
Ouyang Mei, who was standing beside her, echoed: "I have asked you to come a long time ago! Look, you have everything you want to eat and drink. Unlike in the countryside, you have nothing to do with it!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at his girl, and didn't want to say anything in front of Ouyang Mei, so he continued to brush mutton for Xue Ling to eat.
Ouyang Mei eats happily and talks more.
"My brother has already taken a bus and brought a lot of goods. Our store has been cleaned almost. The shelves will be delivered in two days. It will be opened soon and make a lot of money! Haha!"
Cheng Tianfang was also very excited and said, "I will stay in the county town in the future and make a lot of money with Brother Cong... and you and Brother Xiang!"
...
After eating, Ouyang Mei and Cheng Tianfang went to the next door with melon seeds and peanuts.
Xue Ling cleaned the dining table, Cheng Tianyuan boiled hot water, and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.
The snow outside stopped, but the cold wind blew, making the snowflakes fly, and it was still very cold.
Xue Ling sat at the dining table for translation, thinking while scrutinizing in context, and then wrote it down after confirming that it was correct.
Cheng Tianyuan went to the second floor to clean the house and did not come down to the kitchen to drink water until he was thirsty.
Xue Ling stretched and asked, "Did you call home? How are your parents in good health?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "I'm fine. Mom said the two hot water bags you bought are really good. Our dad uses them every day, one of them applies to his arms at night and the other warms his feet with his mom. It's very comfortable to use."
Xue Ling chuckled softly and said, "I will buy two more when I go back next time, and give them one to warm their feet."
Cheng Tianyuan also laughed and whispered: "I'll accompany you to buy it."
Xue Ling lowered his voice and asked, "Whether your parents know that my sister-in-law is here? Do they agree?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook her head and explained: "She told her parents that Ouyang Mei lives next door with us now, and is busy opening a store, and needs her help for a while. When her store is no longer busy, she will go back. She dare not tell the truth, and deceives them perfunctorily.
.”
After a pause, he added: "If our father knew that she came to the county town, he would definitely not agree. The girl deliberately packed her luggage while my father was away, and then left Ouyang Mei. My mother had no choice but to do anything to her.
I can't catch up. My mom said, my dad was so angry that he smashed the bowl."
Xue Ling sighed softly and whispered: "Dad is worried that she is here for that Lin Cong, so she is so angry."
Every family of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is confused about the world and can't help but worry.
Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "I have told my mother that when the weather gets clear and the car can drive to the suburbs, I will take her back."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
That evening, the two of them came to have supper, and after that, they shook their hands and went back to the next door.
Ouyang Mei was criticized by Xue Ling before, but when she saw that Cheng Tianyuan had never given her a good face, she didn't dare to come and have a meal too often.
Now that Cheng Tianfang is making an excuse, she really wants to come over every meal.
