"Potatoes stewed with eggplant, ribs stewed with beans, cabbage stewed with tofu, chicken stewed with mushrooms..."
The dining table is filled with dishes from the farm, with the most original cooking methods and the most rustic taste. Without the big iron pot in the kitchen, the firewood from the willow trees, and the craftsmanship of grandma, there is absolutely no way to cook this familiar dish.
smell.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke."
The grandma's face was full of kindness, and she told the children to eat slowly, but her chopsticks kept going to Shen Dapeng, Liu Yuwei, and Liu Tianshuo's bowls to pick up meat.
Especially Shen Dapeng, his bowl was filled with the best meat, chicken wings, chicken legs, all in his bowl. The little fat man Liu Tianshuo looked at it with envy and jealousy, muttering unhappily while eating.
In fact, it's no wonder that grandma is partial. Although Shen Dapeng is her grandson, unlike Liu Yuwei, Liu Tianshuo is a child of the Liu family, but among the three children, only Shen Dapeng has been with her the longest.
When I was a child, every winter and summer vacation, I had to go to the countryside, where an old man and a young man would stay together in the green mountains and green waters.
As for Liu Yuwei, because her uncle and aunt have strict requirements, she takes tutoring classes in the county during holidays.
Liu Tianshuo was also a little younger, and he was extremely pampered by his brother-in-law's family. How could he let his child suffer in the countryside?
Therefore, among the three Shen Dapeng sisters and brothers, it is Shen Dapeng, the grandson, who has the closest relationship with the old man.
"Yuwei, who is that kid driving the Toyota Land Cruiser today? And your classmates, it seems to me that their family conditions are quite good and they dress like little adults. Don't imitate them.
Already."
The aunt took a piece of pork ribs and handed it to Liu Yuwei's bowl, taking the opportunity to remind the child that after all, they have reached the rebellious period of youth, and if they still have the same tough attitude as the elder brother, I am afraid it will be counterproductive.
"They? They are all my classmates. Their family conditions are indeed better, but they are not the kind of playboys..."
Just as Liu Yuwei was about to explain to her friends, there was a knock on the door outside.
Shen Dapeng sat outside and got up to open the door. He saw Gao Tianci holding a gift in both hands and standing at the door with a smile. Although he knew that he came here to please his family, he could not hit the smiling person because he was polite.
If you visit an old man, you can't drive him away, right?
"Hello uncles and aunts, hello grandma, I heard from Yuwei that you are celebrating your seventieth birthday, and I have nothing to honor you. I bought some bird's nests and shark fins for you to replenish your health. I wish you a long life.
Stay healthy."
Gao Tianci was very polite and not offensive. He put down the gift and was about to leave.
"Hey, kid, what are you going to do this late at night? Let's stay and have a meal together!"
My uncle had always been interested in Gao Tianci who was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser. Now that he had arrived at his door, how could he let him go? He quickly grabbed Gao Tianci and pressed him on the stool without letting go.
"Then I'd rather obey your orders than be respectful. In fact, I've smelled the aroma of food since I first entered the house. I don't know who makes such good food. The gluttons in my stomach have long been rampant."
Gao Tianci is also very sweet. After all, no matter who cooks the food, he must be praised for his ability to speak. What's more, how can this table of food be cooked by one person? A few people are cooking, and a few people have been eaten.
He flattered me a lot.
"You're not that old, but you're pretty good at talking. Your family is in business, right? Did you learn it from your father or your mother?"
My brother-in-law was even more experienced, and he directly asked about Gao Tianci's family background in one sentence.
"It's not like I learned it from anyone. My father is an individual businessman and opened a Toyota 4S store in the city. My mother is the deputy director of the Municipal Women's Federation..."
Gao Tianci introduced his family background seriously. After all, this was his first time meeting Liu Yuwei's relatives, and he had to leave a good impression.
"Um."
Regarding Gao Tianci's family background, the uncle nodded with satisfaction. He could naturally see what the child meant to his Yuwei, but the child was about to go to college. If they could really get together, he wouldn't
obstruct.
As long as the daughter is careful and doesn't delay her studies by falling in love during the important time of her senior year of high school, at least it seems that it won't happen now.
"Well, it's a godsend, isn't it? I opened a tobacco and alcohol store in the county. I will go there during the holidays when I have nothing to do. When I have the opportunity, I will go to the city and call your father. We also know each other. After all, many friends have many paths.
Well."
My uncle is a standard businessman, the kind of businessman who is good at using interpersonal relationships. When he heard that Gao Tianci's family opened a Toyota 4S store, if he could seize this relationship, it would not be unreasonable for his tobacco and alcohol store business to move to the city.
possible.
"Okay, when uncle you go to the city, I will let my father make arrangements for you."
Gao Tianci was even more adept at getting close to each other and called him his uncle directly. Liu Yuwei on the side was furious and her face was red with embarrassment. There was nothing between the two of them, so why did they act like they were together at a family gathering?
Like a blind date?
Shen Dapeng watched the situation develop towards the future trend little by little, and he was powerless to control it. Everyone has his own destiny. Everyone has his own life. Whether it is pain or happiness, it is his own choice. There is no need for others to point fingers.
?
After dinner, the sky was completely dark, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky and thousands of stars twinkling.
"The night view in the countryside is so beautiful and the air is very good. Yuwei, why don't we go out for a walk? I've never been to the countryside, why don't you show me the way?"
Gao Tianci suggested in a low voice, and Liu Yuwei also thought about going to the hotel to chat with Wang Xueying. She agreed without much thought, and the two of them got up and went out.
"Well, Dapeng, you have always lived in the countryside and are more familiar with this place. Go and show them the way. Don't get lost at night."
As soon as his uncle said this, Shen Dapeng smiled helplessly. He was not asked to lead the way. He was obviously worried that Liu Yuwei would be taken advantage of. The countryside was such a big place, how could he get lost?
But the uncle had spoken, and he could not refute, so he had to follow Gao Tianci and Liu Yuwei back to the hotel. None of the three of them said a word along the way. Shen Dapeng felt that he was a light bulb.
As soon as he entered the hotel, Shen Dapeng saw Wang Xueying squatting in the corner of the yard, studying something very intently. When he got closer, he saw that it was a mantis with a broken arm.
"You said that after the mantises mate, the female mantis will eat the male mantis. What about that person?"
Wang Xueying looked up at Shen Dapeng, her face slightly pale and her eyes unfriendly.
"Ahem..."
Shen Dapeng didn't know how to answer. Looking at Wang Xueying's pale cheeks, he felt a little creepy. At this moment, Gao Tianci walked out of the room with a poker in hand.
"It's time to play poker. Come on, come on. There are exactly six of us who can hit the red a."
Gao Tianci sat down at the small square table in the courtyard and started shuffling the cards regardless of whether anyone spoke to him or not. He was obviously afraid that Liu Yuwei would be bored, so he was looking for something to do and hoped to spend more time with her.
