The aunt raised her head, glanced at Zhang Chi, smiled, lowered her head and continued cutting the vegetable seedlings in front of her.
Zhang Chi walked to his mother-in-law and uncle and squatted down.
"Auntie, uncle, please stop cutting. Come with me to our house now. The new house has been built, and I would like to invite you to stay there for a few days. We didn't plan to do it originally, but Li Qiao and his family are coming over.
So I simply asked Lao Xu and the others to have fun together," Zhang Chi said.
You can't say that when Li Qiao's family is coming over, I'll call my uncle and aunt here by the way. This doesn't sound good. Now that I say it like this, the uncle and aunt will definitely listen to it much more.
The aunt smiled and said: "Where are we going to live? I went to your brother Dawen's house to stay for a few days a few days ago, but it was really unbearable. I came back after a total of three days of going back and forth...".
Zhang Chi knew that his mother-in-law was being polite. Now that the old couple has some free time, they don’t need to worry about the decoration of the hotel. Lu Guangming has taken care of everything, so the couple has nothing to do at home. Their daily life is
Tease the dog and plant vegetables and so on.
If you are an ordinary person, it would be nice to enjoy a life like retirement. However, after two people who have been busy all their lives, they always feel panicked when they are free. There is nothing to do and they feel uneasy all day long.
Two days ago, my aunt went to live with her eldest brother for a few days, but she only stayed for a few days before she came back. The eldest son's house is good, but the old lady is not used to it. The toilets are all self-cleaning and spray water.
My wife always felt something was wrong. She stayed there for several days and never felt comfortable, so she couldn't help but come back after staying for less than three days.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I'm different from Brother Dawen. I'm not as rich as him, so I have to press the toilet at home. You two must be used to living there. If you live comfortably, you can
If you stay at my house for a long time, you will feel more comfortable grazing cattle and so on.”
Hahahaha!
The aunt laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Forget it, your ink is really cute. I really miss it after not seeing it for a few days."
"If you miss it, just give me a call. If uncle doesn't want to go, I'll come and pick you up," Zhang Chi said obediently.
Zhang Youliang opened his mouth after hearing this and said: "I can't live for a few more days. We are waiting for the restaurant to be renovated and our life is back on track. Now there is nothing to do at the end of the day. We just spend it on these vegetable plots.
Not many dishes.”
"By the way, you two, stop twisting the vegetables. Wash your hands and follow me to my house. If you want to eat the vegetables, wait until you get back, otherwise the vegetables will become wilted," Zhang Chi said.

After hearing this, Gu Ying said: "These dishes are not for us to eat. We are going to take them to your house."
"Auntie, you have forgotten that my family now has a small vegetable garden. Nothing else. If you want to eat some vegetables, it's no problem. The seeds are the ones you gave me last time," Zhang Chi said.
Gu Ying added: "How many vegetables can you grow in your small vegetable garden? Xiaomei can't smell the smell of meat now. I'm thinking of grinding some green vegetables with your uncle and bringing them over, and steaming vegetable buns tonight. Now the small green vegetables and
The one I gave you is different. This green vegetable comes from the south and is a bit bitter to grow, but when combined with some vermicelli and some of the kind of squid you sent over for soaking, it tastes really good."
"We can't eat steamed buns at night. Li Qiao's family and Lao Xu are alone. By the way, Lu Guangming is coming too. I just called him. So many people can't eat steamed buns when they come to my house. I'm going to roast a lamb. Besides,
I still have some beef at home, which will be roasted by then," Zhang Chi said.
Forget it, Lao Xu, after staying in Zhang Chi's ranch for so long, he should have eaten enough beef. But Li Qiao's family, Lu Guangming, didn't have such a good fortune. He felt a little tired of eating beef, so Zhang Chi left.
Ranchers can do it.
"Knead more, otherwise there won't be enough food for so many people." Gu Ying heard that there were so many people, so she wanted to knead more vegetables.
Zhang Chi thought that there were quite a lot of people today, so he took a pair of scissors and twisted them with his mother-in-law and uncle.
The green vegetables were twisted and put into a bamboo basket, and the three of them twisted a basket full.
"Enough, enough," Zhang Chi said quickly.
Gu Yingdao: "We have enough green vegetables. No matter how much we eat, we can't eat them. These vegetables can last for three or four days, but they won't last for a long time. By the way, do you still have the Shangu that your family gave us?"
Seeing his nephew nodding, Gu Ying said: "That's enough. I won't take it from you. This food is delicious. I'm going to send some to your sister-in-law Dawen."
"We have plenty at home. I will send you a pack later."
Shangu Zhangchi’s family really has a lot. Firstly, they picked a lot, and secondly, the two of them didn’t eat much, so there was a lot left over. Since my uncle’s family likes it, it would be nice to give some as a gift to the old couple when they come back this time.
Already.
"By the way, I forgot about Aunt Feil." Zhang Chi suddenly remembered at this moment that he and his wife had forgotten about Aunt Feil.
Gu Ying said with a smile: "Look at what you are doing. Don't worry, you don't have to ask. Your Aunt Phil and his wife are not in Folsom these days, they have gone to New York."
"Going to New York?" Zhang Chi was a little curious. Why did this couple abandon their family farm and go to New York?
"I don't know what happened, but they did go to New York. Okay, let's not talk about your Aunt Phil."
After Gu Ying finished speaking, he wanted to stand up, but because he had been squatting for too long, he was unable to get up for a while.
Zhang Chi saw her and immediately helped her up slowly.
"It's really hard at this age," Gu Ying said with a smile.
After helping his aunt up, Zhang Chi looked at his uncle again.
Zhang Youliang smiled and said: "I don't need your support. I had a physical examination two days ago and the doctor said that my body is really great."
Gu Ying heard this and said with a smile: "Indeed, the blood pressure was still a bit high when I checked it a year ago, but this time it was fine. The blood pressure was like that of a young person. It was always around 110. The doctor said
It’s quite strange.”
The old couple used to have some minor health problems, and they always have minor problems as they get older. However, the results of this physical examination made the couple happy for several days, because the minor problems they were worried about before were gone, and some items
The doctor still didn't believe it, so he checked again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their bodies.
Hearing his uncle and aunt talking about this happily, the smile on Zhang Chi's face was sincere. Although he knew why, he was also happy to see his uncle and aunt so happy.
"What is this for?"
Zhang Chi saw that his mother-in-law was going to get the basket after she finished speaking, so he asked.
"The vegetable roots are a little dirty and stained with mud. Let me wipe them off," Gu Ying said.
Zhang Chi said quickly: "Stop wiping, come to my house and wash the same thing. The fertile soil in your house will also let my pasture get a little bit, and the grass will grow better."
After hearing this, Gu Ying said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll bring these good soil to your house. Lao Zhang, let's go."
"Stop driving. I came here specially today. I will take you back when you are tired of living here."
"Why go to all that trouble? It's not like we can't drive. Okay, can you move this basket of vegetables? If you can, it's up to you to move the vegetables. I'll drive," Zhang Youliang said.
Zhang Chi rolled up his sleeves and said, "It must be moveable. You can drive there. I put the food in the trunk."
After saying this, Zhang Chi reached out and grabbed the edge of the basket. When he exerted his strength, he found that the basket was quite heavy. A small basket of vegetables was so heavy. The vegetables were too weighed.
How could Zhang Chi be timid after he had just boasted, so he held back his energy and put the vegetable basket on the back compartment.
The aunt followed over here, holding the lid of the basket in her hand, which was also made of bamboo. She tried it on the basket and found that it was too small, so she turned around to find a suitable lid.
At this time, the uncle had already driven out of the car. It was still his Dodge Ram, which was still clean. It was placed next to Zhang Chi's pickup truck. One was a shabby old man, and the other was a strong man in his prime.
young man.
This car is very precious to my uncle. It needs to be washed every two or three days. So far, not even a single piece of paint has been peeled off, let alone patched up. He must be driven carefully.
"Where's your aunt?"
"I'm looking for a lid for the vegetable basket," Zhang Chi replied.
"She has been asked to look for it a long time ago, but she didn't look for it. Now she is getting anxious," Zhang Youliang said with a smile.
After a while, the mother-in-law came back with the lid of the basket. She heard her husband talking about herself, so she replied: "You don't have any hands. If you know how to find the lid, you can find it yourself. You have to open your mouth and ask me to go there."
try to find?"
hey-hey!
Zhang Youliang put off the conversation with a harmless smile.
"You go in front, I'll take the Dachi car." Gu Ying didn't want to see his wife's old face at this moment, but he was still happy to take the car with his nephew.
Gu Ying got into Zhang Chi's car and waited at the door. Gu Ying came down and locked the door.
Generally speaking, the public security here is very good, and the neighbors will take care of each other. The main reason is that the folk customs here are relatively simple, the place is small, there are few troubles, and there are even fewer idle people. Almost everyone has something to do and earn as much as they want.
Qian also said that when people have something to do, there will be less trouble.
There are some petty thefts, but they are rare. In a big town, if you steal an apple from someone today, the whole town will know about it by night.
I just praised the good public order in this small town. Not long after I left home, I saw a group of people fighting. Looking at it, they were all drunk.
In terms of appearance, these people do not look like the original residents of the small town. In all likelihood, they come here to look for cattle. Most of these people do not have serious occupations. To put it bluntly, they are social idlers.
It would be weird if these people drank a little and didn't cause trouble.
As soon as the car stopped and waited for the red light, the police arrived. A dozen police officers picked up their batons and beat them up. Then they put the troublemakers into police cars and drove away. The street instantly returned to its previous calmness and tranquility.
Both Zhang Chi and Zhang Youliang seem to be used to it. There are many situations like this in Folsom these days. The police station in the small town used to be empty, but now it is expected to be full.
