Chapter 0312 Visiting relatives and friends (Part 1)
"Xiao Zhou, it's hard to come here. How about staying here for a few more days?"
Cheap father-in-law Qin Fangyuan really wants to keep her, and Zhou Yan also really wants to leave: "Uncle Qin, there are still things at home!"
"It's Chinese New Year, what can happen?"
Seeing that his father-in-law would not let go after being caught, Zhou Yan didn't know how to refuse. At this moment, Zhou Yan's cell phone suddenly rang...
"Hello, Dad?"
"Oh, okay! Okay! I'll go back right away..."
Zhou Yan pretended to be very depressed, nodded, and after hanging up the phone, he smiled helplessly at Qin Fangyuan: "Uncle, something really happened this time. My dad even called to urge me!"
"Xiao Zhou, let's go after breakfast!"
After breakfast, Zhou Yan wanted to sneak away quietly, but Qin's mother caught him and stuffed a bunch of things into the trunk.
After Zhou Yan pushed to no avail, he drove slowly away from the community under Qin Ruoshu's resentful eyes.
After the car drove out of Qing'an City, there was still a lot of ice and snow on the road. However, after a day, the snow on the road was much less than the previous day. There was no need to install anti-skid chains on the tires before.
After exiting the Ring Road in Qing'an, Zhou Yan did not drive in the direction of Qingya Town. Instead, he turned around and headed straight towards Hongcheng, where his grandma's home was located.
When they arrived at grandma's house, Zhou Yan's father and mother were already waiting there. They were slightly relieved to see Zhou Yan, but when they found Zhou Yan walking in alone, it felt like there was one less person.
Seeing Zhou Yan arriving, grandma and grandpa started to pack their things...
Seeing that Zhou Yan was a little confused, Zhou Yan's wife, Li Yuzhu, smiled and explained: "Your grandma and grandpa haven't gone out for several years, and your uncle is free again, so we just go to your second aunt's house! By the way, you have to go later.
Pick up your aunt’s family!”
After packing their things, a family of more than a dozen people in three cars formed a small convoy and set out on the road.
When passing through the town, my uncle's family was waiting there, while Zhou Yan and his father went to pick up his aunt and her family separately.
When we arrived at my aunt's house, my uncle was busy again, either serving tea or snacks, which made grandma and grandpa a little tired of it: "The second brother's house is a bit far away. His eldest brother-in-law, please don't bother..."
The uncle smiled shyly, took two recently slaughtered big roosters from under the eaves, put them into plastic bags, and looked at Zhou Yan with a smile: "Nephew, you can find something to put them in."
, the chicken is still bleeding..."
"It's okay, just put it in the trunk. Anyway, we have to wash the car after the New Year!"
Just as Zhou Yan opened the tailgate, his aunt came over with two more boxes of milk. Behind her, her cousin Sun Kai also had big and small bags in his hands.
Grandpa Zhou Yan's face turned dark when he saw this posture: "It's not like you're going to someone else's house, why are you bringing so many things? Besides, the second brother's family doesn't lack anything..."
Seeing his uncle's slightly lonely expression, Zhou Yan sighed slightly...
Poor people always like to give away the most valuable things in their homes, for fear that others will be dissatisfied; while rich people always give things very casually, and regard it as charity...
"Uncle," Zhou Yan looked at his frozen uncle, "Put it down. My second aunt's family is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. How can I have time to raise chickens and fry fruits..."
"That's true..." The eldest uncle smiled bitterly, glanced at his old father-in-law, and quietly handed the things in his hand to Zhou Yan.
After getting in the car, Zhou Yan couldn't help but suffer a lot of complaints from his grandma: "Shitou, your second aunt even called and told you not to bring anything!"
"Grandma, when I went to Xiao Qin's house yesterday, the same things were packed in the car. Just this..." Zhou Yan chuckled, "It also made Lao Qin extremely happy..."
Grandma and grandpa have not traveled far for two years. Along the way, they kept introducing the scenery on both sides of the road to the younger generations...
"When this reservoir was built before, I also contributed here!"
"This family on the roadside is related to that family in the village..."
The second aunt Li Yulan knew that someone was visiting today, so she led her cousin Feng Xiaobei and waited at the door early.
However, Li Yulan didn't expect that it was "a nest" that came.
When the uncle who was driving the road stabilized the car, the second aunt was overjoyed and greeted her excitedly: "Yulin, why are you here too?"
"Why can't I come?" Li Yulin chuckled and looked back at Zhou Yan, who had already stabilized his car, "My father and mother are here too..."
The second aunt was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She ran up to meet her. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw Grandma Zhou Yan getting out of the car.
"Mom, you two are so adventurous even though you are so far away!" The second aunt stared at grandma with a smile, "In the first month of the year, you can run around everywhere and you are not afraid of getting angry!"
Grandma rolled her eyes at the second aunt: "I went to your eldest sister's house yesterday. If I don't come to your house, I don't know why you are scolding us old people behind our backs?"
"How can there be..."
After placing the two old people on the kang, the second aunt happily snatched the little nephew from the little concubine's arms, kissed and nibbled on him...
"Oh, Comrade Li Yulan, look at you..." The second uncle who was busy wearing an apron came into the room, "His grandma has been here for so long, and you are not willing to take out the melon seeds and candies..."
The second aunt, who was having fun with her little nephew, had no time to pay attention to this. She directly glared at Feng Xiaobei who was standing in front of her: "You kid, you are already over 20 years old, and you don't know how to pick up melon seeds."
Give the cigarettes to your uncle and the others?"
The big eyes stare at the small eyes, and the small eyes roll their eyes.
The cousin was frightened by the second aunt's "power" and did not dare to resist. She honestly picked up the fruit plate containing melon seeds, candies and cigarettes from the table and handed it to the uncles who were drinking tea.
"Shitou," Zhou Yan's father saw this and grinned at Zhou Yan, "You have been a chef after all, why don't you go and help your second uncle?"
"knew!"
Zhou Yan had no choice but to stand up, push the door open and enter the kitchen...
"Nephew, don't listen to your father, I can do it myself..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The second uncle is quite reserved, but under Zhou Yan’s insistence, he can only give in. The two just formed a group, and the second uncle came out of the room,
Joined the chef team...
As soon as the three of them started working, the second aunt leaned against Zhou Yan and said, "Nephew, I heard that you went to Xiao Qin's house yesterday. How was it?"
"Their old man has a good impression of me!" Zhou Yan was a little proud.
"That's good," the second aunt nodded with satisfaction, "a year ago, your uncle and I went to Lao Qin's restaurant..."
Seeing that Zhou Yan was a little confused, the second aunt quickly explained: "It was just the twelfth lunar month of the year before. Qin Fangyuan settled the balance for the last month of 2008, and it was accurate. The people under his command were quite polite to us."
"At noon, Lao Qin and her daughter-in-law stayed with us in the store for dinner. They are a pretty good couple..."
"Well..." Zhou Yan glanced at his serious second aunt, "I own 40% of the new hot pot and barbecue restaurant opened by Lao Qin's family..."
Hearing this, the second aunt suppressed her laughter and glanced at Zhou Yan: "You stinky boy, why didn't you tell me earlier? When your second uncle paid the bill, he didn't give a cent!"
"Business is business," Zhou Yan said unconcernedly, "The price of mutton we gave him is already very low, and the moisture content of our mutton is low. Selling it to him has given him a big advantage!"
"You kid?" The second aunt glared at Zhou Yan, "In the future, if you marry Xiao Qin, we will be relatives..."
"Why do you care so much? You're not married yet?" Zhou Yan chuckled, "Besides, there is only one daughter in their family. In the future, won't all restaurants belong to our family? Why do you think so clearly?"
"My nephew is right!" The second uncle on the side snickered and added, "Business is business, and favors are favors!"
