Chapter 742: Visiting the Old Lady
Shen Jing'an and Qiu Minhua are both busy people, and it is rare to be able to spare a few days to come to the camp.
So early in the morning on the 17th, just after breakfast, Shen Jing'an and his family led their son, accompanied by Qiaolian and Jiayuan, carried some snacks and canned food, and went to Daying to visit the old lady of the Chen family together.
Mrs. Chen had already heard Chen Minsheng say last night that Jiayuan had a partner, and the subject's parents came over together, and she also knew that people could come to see her today.
So early in the morning, I instructed the Wang family and Lin Hong to clean up the inside and outside of the house, and I also changed into new clothes and waited.
"Grandma, my second aunt is here, my cousin is also following, and there are three people."
Yongcheng is not small, he was staring outside early in the morning, and saw Qiaolian and others coming over from a distance, and hurriedly jumped back to the house to report the news.
"Come on, come on, boss, lead your daughter-in-law out to greet you.
People are big cadres in the city, come to our countryside, don't let people pick on us. ”
The old lady was a little excited, and hurriedly sent someone out to meet her.
Chen Minsheng and Wang, as well as Wanfu and Lin Hong, hurriedly went out and greeted them outside the gate.
At this time, Qiaolian and the Shen family arrived at the gate, and when everyone met, it was naturally another greeting.
"Quick, Dean Shen, Director Qiu, Xiao Shen, come into the house to talk, come into the house to talk.
My mother heard me say that you are coming last night, and I am looking forward to it early this morning. Chen Minsheng welcomed the three members of the Shen family into the house with a smile on his face.
When they came to the east house, they saw the old lady sitting on the edge of the kang and about to put on her shoes and go down to the ground.
Qiu Minhua hurriedly stepped forward, "Yo, auntie, don't go to the ground, you are so old, we can't stand it." ”
As he spoke, he helped the old lady onto the kang.
"How old is my aunt? It looks really energetic, and his body is good. ”
"Sixty-eight, not far from seventy, thanks to the children's intentions, all of them are very filial.
I don't have anything to get angry about this day, I can eat and sleep, and my spirit is good. The old lady smiled and chatted with Qiu Minhua.
"Director Qiu, we don't know if you came, or did the boss come back yesterday.
Well, I have already asked my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to prepare a meal, and I must have a meal at home today. ”
"Auntie, we'll have to take the train back later.
The holiday is too short, and seeing the New Year, I must hurry back.
Auntie, next time we have time, we will take a few more days off, and we will definitely talk to my aunt when the time comes. ”
Qiu Minhua pulled the old lady's hand and said apologetically.
Over there, Shen Jing'an hurriedly asked his son to put the things he brought in front of the old lady.
"Auntie, this is brought from the provincial capital, and I made a special trip to give you the snacks I bought for the old time, as well as some canned food, malt milk essence or something, to keep your old body to nourish your body.
This time it's really time not to rush, there is no way to stay for a long time, next time we will save more vacations and come to stay for a few more days. ”
Shen Jing'an and his wife had already inquired from Jiayuan and knew that Jiayuan also had a grandmother.
So when I set out from the provincial capital, I specially prepared a gift for the old lady.
Shen Xingyi put down his things, stood in front of the kang, and greeted him with a smile.
"Grandma, when you are free, Jiayuan and I will take you to the provincial capital to live for a while."
The Chen family's house was also cleaned up two years ago, and glass was installed in the middle of the window, so the house was quite bright.
Don't look at the old lady is sixty-eight, but her eyes are not flowers, and her eyesight is okay.
At this time, he looked Shen Xingyi up and down a few times, and saw Shen Xingyi's handsome appearance, which was very rare.
"Good, good, a good boy. Grandma is old, and now, she can't go far, and the provincial capital is unbearable.
In the future, you can come back and see your grandmother. The old lady looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and was full of joy.
"Oh, look, it's good that you can come and see my old woman, what are you doing with these? Spend that money. ”
After looking at Shen Xingyi enough, the old lady's gaze moved to the things in front of her.
The dim sum was packed in a box, which was particularly exquisite, and the canned food and malt milk essence were not those bargains in the local supply and marketing cooperatives, and they were very expensive at first glance.
"We are all a family, and my wife will not be polite to you.
The eldest nephew of the Shen family, thank you, you still think about my wife. ”
People bothered to bring it, this heart is rare, where is the old lady not to accept it?
The Shen family has a lot of etiquette, and even the old lady can think of it, which proves that they really want to marry the Qu family.
Knowing the attitude of the Shen family, and then looking at the handsome and upright Shen Xingyi in front of her, the old lady couldn't be happier.
Jiayuan is also a child that the old lady watched grow up, although it is not like the latter few who were raised by the old lady herself, but the feelings are also quite deep.
Now that she sees that Jiayuan has found such an outstanding object, and such a good in-law, the old lady is also happy for Jiayuan.
"Red, hurry, hurry up and make a pot of tea, and then bring melon seeds and peanuts."
The old lady was happy and hurriedly instructed her granddaughter-in-law to work.
The hot water was boiled before, and there was no need for the old lady to tell him, as soon as the Shen family entered the door, Lin Hong made tea.
At this time, he hurriedly sent it over and poured water for Shen Jingan and Qiu Minhua.
"We don't have any good tea in the countryside, this is still the tea made by my second aunt for us, Dean Shen, Director Qiu, don't dislike it."
poured water, and then Lin Hong went to bring a plate of melon seeds and a plate of peanuts and put them in front of Shen Jing'an and his wife.
"Home-grown melon seeds and peanuts, small four red grains.
My second aunt gave Taocheng the seeds, which tasted very fragrant, and they were just fried this morning, and the two of them tasted them. ”
The Chen family also has a lot of self-reserved land and small wastelands, Chen Minsheng and Wan Fuye can both do it, and they have planted a few of them.
This peanut is naturally the seed of Qiaolian Taocheng, four red grains, a peanut that is more suitable for the climate of Northeast China.
Although it doesn't grow much and the yield is average, it tastes quite delicious.
Yongcheng is still young, and the children of this year have no snacks to eat, so they planted some peanuts, in addition to entertaining guests during the New Year, it is to give Xiao Yongcheng snacks.
The Qu family also planted this peanut, and yesterday Qiaolian specially fried some for the Shen family to eat, so Qiu Minhua knew that this peanut was delicious.
immediately nodded and thanked Lin Hong, and then picked up a few grains at random and ate them.
People deliberately fried it for them to eat, and it was not good to eat it without eating it, anyway, it meant something.
"Yes, if you think it's delicious, I'll fill it with some for you later.
It's not something expensive, it's just something from our crop yard, so keep it as a snack. ”
The old lady saw that Qiu Minhua seemed to like it, so she asked Chen Minsheng to load peanuts.
"Oh, don't, auntie, this thing is in the city, it's a precious thing.
You're afraid you don't know, right? At the end of the year, only during the Chinese New Year, there is a supply of two taels of peanuts, and this thing is not visible on ordinary days. ”
Qiu Minhua and Shen Jing'an hurriedly stopped and prevented Chen Minsheng from really getting peanuts.
Peanuts are a crop with low yields and are rarely grown in Northeast China, so they have to be shipped from elsewhere and supplied in limited quantities.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was two taels, so Qiu Minhua said so.
