Chapter 269
Old Man Yan
"Indeed, there are too many people, and we all took a detour. In such cold weather, queuing there is really a life-threatening suffering. I don't know how many people returned disappointed."
"Old man, I didn't see that you are quite concerned about people's livelihood."
"What does it mean to care about people's livelihood? It is to worry about the hospital's concerns that many cold patients will be added tomorrow. Now everything is lacking, and medicines are also lacking. Forget it, these should not be the things that your child cares about.
We can rest for one week tomorrow for the Chinese New Year, and your mother will also be one week. On the second day of the day, your mother will go back to her parents' home, and we will all go together, so we have to send her food."
Li Xiaoyu glanced at Li's father, and saw that his face was calm and there was no slight turmoil. He knew that he had completely let go.
"Old man, are you okay?"
Li's father smiled and touched his little daughter's head and said to her: "What can I do? Everything is developing in a positive direction. In a few years, I won't have to worry about you. Some people and things have become the past and will never be able to go back."
In the New Year, there was one missing person at home, and it was no different. The family also accepted Li Xiaoyan’s marriage.
The smell of meat wafts out over the whole county town, which also adds a hint of the New Year atmosphere. Children's faces are filled with smiles. Eating meat is their greatest wish.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the whole county was eating meat, Li Xiaoyu's family also placed various meats and fruits in her space at home. The whole family also came to roast all the lamb in the backyard. The fragrance blew the whole street, which attracted Ren Chun's family next door.
Yan Xuezhen, the Yan family, who lives in the first family at the corner of the street, has a wealthy family since childhood, but later lost his family due to his family. Moving from a big city to this small county town, it is also a wealthy family for people in the small county town.
Only Mr. Yan and a middle-aged couple lived in the family. No one had seen anyone else. They all guessed that the old man was an old widow without children, and no one knew the real information. But many people knew about it if they like to eat and know how to eat.
Since childhood, he has been frugal with food and clothing. In the past two years, due to the lack of supplies, Mr. Yan has to settle for the second best. It is already difficult to be able to eat pork. If you want to eat some meat or something on weekdays, you have to exchange it for good things.
I finished eating all the pork I changed the previous few times. Now I smelled the smell of roasted lamb, and the saliva in my mouth could not be controlled and flowed down.
The Yan family yard is twice that of the Li family yard, and the room is more refined and spacious, basically retaining the original shape of the house. Mr. Yan's face is rosy and slightly fat. He keeps walking back and forth in the yard, smelling the fragrance in the air from time to time, and sucking saliva.
Uncle Fu looked around and his mouth twitched. He was over 70 years old and he still loved eating so much. If he continued to eat, his family would be empty. Alas!
"Xiao Fu, go to my room and bring me the green jade pendant."
"Master, if you continue like this, you will have to replace the things. What should I do in the future?"
"I'm so old, how many days can I live? Who can I give to my family business? When can I eat it when I can?"
Following the fragrance, the two old men found the back door of the Li family. Mr. Yan signaled Uncle Fu to come forward and knock on the door.
"Knock!"
The people who heard the knock on the door looked a little nervous and looked at each other. Li Weiguo stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll go see who it is?"
Li Weiguo stood behind the door and asked softly: "Who?"
"The Yan family at the intersection of the street!"
Li Weiguo turned around and pointed at the corner of the street to the crowd, and then told them with his mouth that it was the Yan family. The crowd saw it for no reason and didn't know what he was talking about.
Ren Chun explained: "He is talking about the Yan family at the intersection of the street."
Oh, that's right, everyone understands it. It's really a couple who are worthy of being a couple. Everyone looks at Ren Chun with a sarcastic look.
Li Weiguo opened the door: "Old Master Yan, please come inside Uncle Fu!"
"I'm disturbing, Boy Li!"
Li Xiaoyu's family didn't expect Mr. Yan to come from home. He had heard of this person for a long time, but he had never seen him.
Both families do not deal with people often. After the Li family moved in, they were not familiar with their neighbors and everyone was not full of food. However, they had food and drinks at home, so Grandpa Li rarely interacted with people.
But I have heard of the Yan family for a long time. Because of Mr. Yan's reputation for delicious food, they are very famous in this area. It can be said that everyone knows it.
Li Xiaoyu knew that this was an opportunity. This old man never ate people for nothing and would definitely exchange good things for it. How could he not do this business that came to his door?
"Grandpa Yan, Uncle Fu, please sit down!"
Li Xiaoyu showed great enthusiasm for the two of them, and brought tea on a stool, and performed a quick blade roasted lamb with her own hands.
After eating and drinking, Old Man Yan slowly ate the pears peeled by Uncle Fu, with a smile in his eyes. He thought to himself that it was indeed not ordinary people, and even high-priced fruits only appear in the black market.
Mr. Yan patted his stomach contentedly, took out a jade pendant from his body and stuffed it into Li Xiaoyu's hand.
"Little girl, I'll play with you! Your tea is delicious!"
Li Xiaoyu glanced at the jade pendant in her hand. Its green apple-like color was light and bright, and the emerald color was slightly insufficient. The color was slightly yellow under the sunlight.
It’s really cost-effective to exchange a baked mutton for an apple-green jade pendant.
"Old man, you are an expert! When you have time, you are welcome to come to my grandpa for tea!"
Old man Yan, who received a satisfactory reply, stood up and said goodbye to everyone. Everyone stood up and saw him off.
"I'm disturbing your elegance. See you again, see you again!" He walked slowly towards the front yard with his stomach and saw that the surroundings of the Li family's yard were filled with soil, and there were sparse wild vegetables inside.
The eyes were filled with smiles. The Li family was really an interesting family. There was a special person living in an inconspicuous yard. The food and drink at home were beyond ordinary people, and they would have a place to eat free of charge in the future.
Everyone was full and drunk, and sat in the yard to chat. Ren Chun asked Li’s mother: “Second aunt, are you going to go back to Xiao Yuer’s grandma’s house in the second day of the lunar month?”
"Yes, the plan is to go back that day to see the old man, but Xiaoyan will come back in the second year of the junior high school. Brother Yan, what do you think you should do?"
Li's father thought of sending food to Yue's house and uncle's house, and wanted to go back to the bamboo forest. He had to carry people on his back to do these things, and he would inevitably walk on the night. If Li's mother was together, she would definitely not be able to keep up with her.
"You are waiting for Xiaoyan to come back at home for the second day of the first lunar month. I will take Lao Er and Xiao Yuer back. After that, I have to go back to Banzhulin to see my second brother's family."
Li's mother said hesitantly: "But I want to go back and see Mom and the others."
"The first time the boss returns to his parents' home, if he doesn't become a mother anymore, it doesn't sound nice. When I go back this time, I will take my father-in-law and mother-in-law over and let them stay at home for a while."
After thinking about it, Li Ma finally agreed.
