How can you let the second sister-in-law gossip in the village and ruin Qingzhi's reputation?
Going for a walk and delivering vegetables is how Xu Fuqiang thought of silencing his second sister-in-law.
But the child didn't want to, and he had no choice but to sigh silently.
Xu Qingzhi received 50,000 yuan in compensation from Lawyer Zhang.
She has other plans for the money from selling vegetables.
This little money was just put aside as pocket money. She went to the town in the afternoon to pick up the express delivery of fruit saplings, and she happened to plan to buy some things.
Xu Qingzhi politely replied: "Thank you Zhang Lu."
"I want to thank Ms. Xu. My wife said she only bought five kilograms of vegetables. You sent me more than ten kilograms, and also sent some bayberries and eggs. Your vegetables are really fresh, and the bayberries and eggs are also good.
Eat, my old lady and daughter love it very much."
Zhang Lu didn't ask for any money. After all, it was obviously Miss Xu who deliberately gave more. It would have been too short-sighted for him to ask for money.
Qingzhi: "A little thought, Zhang Lu has been troubled these days."
"Ms. Xu, you're welcome."
After some courtesy, the conversation ended.
Xu Qingzhi and Wen Shanshan moved small wooden benches and sat at the door of the kitchen, choosing beans, tendons and water spinach.
Xu Fuqiang came over and looked at his daughter's cold face. He thought he had made her unhappy, so he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Xu Qingzhi spoke first: "Dad, go to the back mountain to pick up some eggs and come back. There are only two eggs left at home. Mom wants to fry some scrambled eggs with green onions for lunch."
"Okay." Xu Fuqiang responded in a cheerful tone, and instantly became energetic.
He knew that just this sentence meant that his daughter was not angry with him.
The awkward atmosphere was instantly resolved.
Wang Yanmei was cutting chili peppers in the kitchen and shouted: "Yes, Qingzhi, I'll call your grandpa to come down for dinner."
"Okay, Mom." Xu Qingzhi took the pot of water spinach he had chosen and called his grandpa.
It took a while for the old man to answer the phone.
"Grandpa, come for lunch, the food will be cooked soon."
"No, grandpa has finished eating and is going fishing."
"Then come over tonight."
"I won't come in the evening, grandpa is too lazy to run."
Xu Qingzhi knew in his heart what the old man was trying to do, so he didn't force him. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish you catch another big fish today."
"Hahaha, okay, if grandpa catches a big fish, he will ask you to come to grandpa's house for dinner."
Xu Qingzhi responded and waited for her grandpa to hang up the phone before telling her mother, "Grandpa won't come for dinner today."
"Well, you and Shanshan should go and play in front. We've finished choosing the dishes, otherwise my cooking will smell like oil smoke all over your body." Wang Yanmei kicked them out and started working in the kitchen.
By the time Jiang Xiao pushed Wen Siran in, he was already smelling the aroma of the food.
"It smells so good. What kind of food are you cooking?" Jiang Xiao took a sip.
Lawyer Zhou lying on the chair beside him fell asleep. He suddenly woke up when he heard Mr. Jiang’s voice.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
After being stunned for three consecutive times, the whole person returned to consciousness and smelled a particularly fragrant aroma of cooking.
He couldn't help but said: "What kind of fried vegetables are so fragrant? It feels like scrambled eggs?"
"It's just scrambled eggs, stir-fried with green onions. The green onions grown by Qingzhi himself." Wen Shanshan said in a very proud voice. The green onions grown by Qingzhi, how can the scrambled eggs not be fragrant?
And she likes to eat fried chicken with green onions. Today, my aunt specially killed another chicken and made it to her favorite taste.
If she hadn't had no choice, she would have wanted to be Aunt Wang's daughter.
I am so happy to be able to eat these meals every day.
No, then she has robbed Qingzhi's mother. That's not okay. If Qingzhi knew, he would definitely stop playing with her. Then he would just come here every day to have a meal, and he would be very happy to do so.
Wen Shanshan thought about a lot of things, smelled the aroma of vegetables in the air, and swallowed.
Jiang Xiao pushed Wen Siran past and teased her in a low voice: "If you don't hold back, your saliva will flow out."
Wen Shanshan:!!!
"I'm not a child, why would I drool!" Wen Shanshan said fiercely at him, but she wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand honestly. As expected, there was nothing. A stinky man knows how to lie to her.
Jiang Xiao smiled and pushed Wen Siran to sit down at the dining table.
Xu Qingzhi came out with bowls of vegetables, and Wen Shanshan took the initiative to help with bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice.
All the bayberries were sold today, which is a great joy for the Xu family. At this time, everyone would kill chickens and ducks.
There are not only spicy stir-fried chicken with green onions, but also stir-fried duck with ginger, and there is also a chicken soup stewed with Chinese medicine.
Pan-fried tofu, crispy spicy fish fillets, stir-fried eggplant with green beans, garlic lettuce, stir-fried water spinach, bok choy, scrambled eggs with green onions...
A table full of dishes.
Wang Yanmei washed her hands, walked out, and greeted warmly: "Get ready to eat. Eat it while it's hot. The food won't taste good when it's cold."
"Auntie, the food you cook is delicious even when it's cold. I like to eat your food the most, and no one cooks it better than you." Wen Shanshan said it over the phone, which made Wang Yanmei very happy.
"If you like to eat, Auntie will be happy." Wang Yanmei's eyes are kind.
Xu Fuqiang came out with a wine bucket as usual and said, "Hey, boys, do you want to drink?"
"Uncle, I want to drink." Jiang Xiao responded with a smile.
He wanted to drink it yesterday, but the host didn't ask, and he was embarrassed. Plus, there was delicious sour plum soup to satisfy his craving.
He is not actually an alcoholic. Even when he was in Kyoto, going to bars was more about socializing.
But yesterday, smelling the smell of liquor, somehow it aroused the addiction in his heart.
Wen Siran responded politely: "Uncle, I will also drink with you."
Lawyer Zhou on the side only regarded it as the same social interaction as before, and could not refuse, so he said: "Uncle, let me come too."
Four men sat next to each other, and three women sat on the other side.
Wang Yanmei saw that Wen Shanshan was still obediently waiting for the elder to use the chopsticks. The more she watched, the more she fell in love with this little girl. She seemed to regard Wen Shanshan as one of her own family members. She coaxed her children and said, "Eat, eat, you don't have to wait for me and your uncle to use the chopsticks."
, you can eat whatever you like, treat it as your own home, you’re welcome.”
"Thank you, auntie. You're welcome then." Wen Shanshan responded sweetly. After Wang Yanmei picked up the first dish with chopsticks, she finally reached for the fried chicken with green onions that she wanted to eat most.
When the domestic chicken is stir-fried, the meat will be firmer. This time Wang Yanmei stewed it for a while.
It tastes tender and fragrant. If you put it in your mouth with the skin and bones, the chicken bones will come off easily.
Wen Shanshan had a mouthful of chicken with a mouthful of rice, which tasted particularly delicious. Although she often came here to eat rice, she still couldn't help but praise: "Auntie, it's so delicious. I'll have three more bowls of rice at noon today."
The four men had just filled their glasses.
Jiang Xiao couldn't wait any longer, so he put a piece of chicken on his belly first, clinked the wine glass, and took a sip of wine.
There was a look of surprise on his face.
The taste of the wine was different from what he had imagined. It tasted like a ball of fire flowing from the throat, but it did not burn people. The wine had a mellow taste with the taste of Chinese medicinal materials, which made the whole body comfortable.
Even the smell of wine is strong yet comforting.
Lawyer Zhou on the side was also a little surprised. He was used to drinking and socializing outside. He had drank all kinds of wine, but he had never tasted such a special wine.
After drinking this, his tired body from traveling all night suddenly seemed to be relaxed.
Miraculously, he actually suffers from severe insomnia. Even if he is traveling all night, he cannot fall asleep on his own no matter how tired he is. He has to take medicine to fall asleep.
As a result, today he was sitting on a bamboo chair, which was leaning against the wall. He leaned back and fell asleep while sitting.
In the past, he often heard his grandmother talk about how comfortable life was in the village, but he didn't think much of it. Now that he has experienced it himself, he actually feels a little more comfortable.
