The two women chatted in the vegetable garden for a while, but couldn't come up with a charter. At this time, Xu Chenghou also came out, and the two women kept silent and didn't mention anything else.
Zhou Guilan cracked two handfuls of celery, picked a few peppers, and went back to the house with her son to pick celery leaves.
Su Anying biked to Songjianghe Market to buy meat.
Meat in summer is not as easy to sell as other times, and there is still some meat left in the afternoon.
At this point, I don’t want to choose anything with front and rear troughs, as long as it has meat, it’s good.
It happened that that piece weighed three kilograms, so Su Anying took it all.
Back home, Su Anying started chopping meat and vegetables, while Zhou Guilan went to make noodles.
"Xu Haiyuan, go to your grandma's house and ask your grandma to come over and eat dumplings." Su Anying was busy while calling her son to run errands.
Su Weizhong's family moved to Donggang a while ago.
Coincidentally, just west of the weather station, there is a family named Li who is also a participant.
His son got married and built five more houses. Money was tight, so he thought of selling the house here to make some money.
Three rooms, stone foundation, brick stacks, rough walls, and gray tiles on the roof.
The cement floor, cement window sills, and pot tops in the house are still inlaid with white tiles.
This house was built only two or three years ago and is quite new. The asking price is not bad, 1,100 yuan.
Su Anying knew the news and went over to talk to that family.
The Li family was also present, and of course they knew Xu Shiyan and his wife.
When he heard that he wanted to buy a house for Xu Shiyan's father-in-law to live in, he was very polite and said that if Su Anying wanted it, he would sell it for a thousand yuan.
For such a new and neat house, with quite a big space in front and back, one thousand yuan is really not expensive.
Su Anying didn't feel embarrassed to talk to others any more, so she agreed to buy the house.
Su Weizhong and his wife have saved some money over the years, maybe five or six hundred.
The house in Daying was sold for three hundred, plus Su Weizhong's salary saved in the past few months, it was enough.
So the old couple rejected the daughter's offer to help buy the house and bought the house with their own money.
Then Li Zongliang took his people and drove to move all the things from the Su family.
Su Weizhong went to work at the venue to check the gate, and then the Su family moved to Donggang. When the people in the camp found out, they were all envious.
The weather station is just east of the Martyrs' Tomb, so it's not too far away.
Xu Haiyuan is so old, running errands or something is no problem at all.
"Oh, I understand, mom."
Xu Haiyuan reluctantly put down the book in his hand, came out of his home, and ran eastward to find his grandma.
Here, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have prepared the dumpling fillings and noodles, put the board on the kang, and started making dumplings.
As soon as the curtains were closed, Han Cai'e and Xu Haiyuan came in from the outside.
"Shi Yan is back?" Han Cai'e already knew that Xu Shiyan was back, and she just came in to say hello.
"Well, mother, I just came back at noon. Didn't my mother say that she wants to make dumplings? I was thinking of asking my mother to come over and let's have some fun together."
Xu Shiyan responded while rolling out the dough.
Han Cai'e was not polite. When she saw dumplings being made in the room, she went directly to the kitchen to wash her hands and came back. She also started making dumplings.
Xu Shiyan rolled out the dough by himself, and it was just right for two people, but it took a little more effort for three people, so he had to speed up.
"Mom, my dad is not at home today? He went to work in the morning?"
When Su Anying saw that only Han Cai'e came over, she knew that Su Weizhong must have gone to work.
"Well, your dad went to work this morning and won't be back until tomorrow morning."
Su Weizhong's job as a gatekeeper is a double shift, a big shift, one night a day, so he left this morning and will be back tomorrow morning.
"Oh, my in-laws can't make it in time to eat dumplings tonight. You can take some back later and let your in-laws have a taste when they come back from get off work tomorrow morning."
Zhou Guilan said while making dumplings. Every time the Xu family makes dumplings, they make more dumplings than Su Weizhong can eat alone. Take some back and it will be convenient for breakfast tomorrow.
"No, no, he can eat whatever he wants when he comes back." Of course Han Cai'e had to be polite.
This is the home of my in-laws, not my daughter’s home. How can I even talk about eating and drinking?
Zhou Guilan didn't try to persuade her any more. Needless to say, she just asked the third daughter-in-law to give those dumplings to Han Cai'e when she left later. Talking too much would make her look weak.
Four people were making dumplings, and Xu Chenghou looked at the two younger ones, who always wanted to lean in front of the panel and steal a piece of noodles to play with.
As for Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping, they are addicted to reading, so they didn't come to join in the fun.
At five o'clock, Su Anhua came home from get off work. When she saw General Tie holding the door at home, she went to her sister's house.
I went to my sister's house and saw that the door was locked, so I came here again.
"Young, the second brother-in-law is back. What do I mean? The door of the house is locked, and the door of the second sister's house is also locked."
When Su Anhua saw Xu Shiyan, she realized that it was her brother-in-law who came back to write the book, so he made delicious food.
"How many bags are there that haven't been finished? Let me wash my hands, too." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went to wash his hands.
"No, there's only a piece of noodles left. Don't touch it. You're really tired after working all day. Just rest."
Zhou Guilan hurriedly called Su Anhua to stop her from taking action.
"Hua'er, go ahead and light the fire. The water is boiling. Finish wrapping here and cook the dumplings directly."
I bought the meat and prepared it now, but it was a little late to start. Hurry up and boil the water to cook the dumplings, otherwise by the time the meal is over, people watching TV will come.
Su Anhua nodded and went to grab some firewood to light the fire. She looked at the bottom of the pot and peeled the garlic.
While waiting for the water in the pot to boil, the dumplings have also been made in the house and are ready to be cooked.
The celery and pepper dumplings were also very delicious, and everyone was quite satisfied with them.
Just as we finished our meal, those watching TV came again.
When Xu Shiyan saw this, he quickly packed up his things and asked Xu Haiyuan to pack up his books and go home.
Su Anying put a small pot of dumplings in an enamel straw hat basin, put it in a net bag and gave it to Su Anhua, asking her to take it back to Su Wei Zhongming to eat in the morning.
Su Anhua didn't show any politeness to her sister and just took it. Han Cai'e was so angry that she just gouged her out with her eyes.
"Mom, look at you, why are you so polite to my aunt and me?
Now that the second brother-in-law is back, why don't you cook something delicious and invite my second brother-in-law's family, as well as the aunt and uncle, to have a meal someday?
Why do we have to punish those vain people?"
Su Anhua doesn't care about my mother's glance. She has been used to it since she was a child. Who is afraid?
"You are the only one who can talk. So why are you talking nonsense? When your second brother-in-law comes back, he will definitely have to ask them to come over for dinner."
Han Cai'e glared at her daughter, but she looked indifferent, so she had no choice but to tell Xu Shiyan and his wife to go home.
There are many people watching TV here. Although Han Cai'e also wants to watch it, she always feels that it is not the case.
So I’d better go home and save some money to buy one at home.
Han Cai'e, Su Anhua and her daughter left first. Xu Shiyan and his wife also packed up their things and took their four children home.
There are too many people here and it is noisy. Xu Shiyan still has many things to tell Su Anying, so he should go home.
