Chapter 122 Love
Author: cool beauty
The second eldest child in their family is now the village chief, which can be considered a small cadre. The second eldest daughter-in-law is also filial and smart. She knows that her parents-in-law still have a private house, and if they live with them, they will definitely supplement their own expenses.
Even if he does not subsidize their family, he can still take care of his son, clean up the house, and even help with the work in the fields, so the family gets along well.
Last year, a private person set up a small garment factory in the next village, and she also went to work in the factory. Today, the factory is on holiday, and she is also at home. She got up early in the morning to buy meat and vegetables, and slaughtered the family's chickens to prepare for today.
Son, please be filial to your parents-in-law.
Therefore, when Sister Xiao Hong entered the door, she smelled the aroma of chicken.
The family was just about to have lunch. When they saw their sisters arriving, the second grandmother smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Oh, I didn't expect you sisters to have such a heart. Hurry up and sit down."
Xiao Fang handed the net bag to Second Aunt Xiao: "Second Aunt, my mother asked me to bring this for you to have a taste."
Inside is braised pig head meat wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and a braised pig's trotters, which were originally prepared for Mistress Xiao's family.
Aunt Xiao also smiled from ear to ear: "Your mother is always so polite. You guys sit down quickly and I'll serve you some food."
The second grandfather also ordered his son to get orange soda for them.
Xiao Hong's cousins also shouted excitedly: "Dad, I want to drink soda too."
The already sumptuous lunch became even richer with the addition of the two meat dishes they brought.
Mr. Xiao took a sip of wine, then ate the pork head meat and pig's trotters, nodding his head: "It tastes really good, fragrant."
The most important thing is that it is cooked enough to be tasty and cooked enough so that even a person with bad teeth can eat it.
Uncle Xiao also nodded: "It tastes better than yours."
Aunt Xiao put two big chicken drumsticks into their bowls and gave her man a look: "Xiao Hong still needs to study. It's great to be able to learn seven or eight about braised meat."
They all thought that the braised meat was made by the Zhao family, so it was normal for Xiao Hong to teach that the Xiao family's braised food was not as good as the Zhao family's.
Moreover, it is also possible that their stepfather had a hand in secret. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that the disciples of the church starve to death for the master?
Anyway, those who are skilled in crafts nowadays like to teach their own sons who are not their own, so they like to hide their skills.
Although Xiao Hong had a special purpose for bringing braised pork to her second grandma's house, the feeling of eating chicken legs and drinking soda was really beautiful.
She now understands a little bit what comes and goes.
And why do we say that some feelings come from relationships.
After having a lively lunch, 13-year-old Xiao Feng held his belly in his hands with a happy face: "The food for lunch is so delicious, it's so filling! I wish I could eat like this every day."
Nine-year-old Xiao Tian was afraid that everyone wouldn't see her, so she nodded vigorously: "Brother is right, I am also very full."
Uncle Xiao himself was a little full after eating, so he quietly loosened a buckle on the pigskin belt. Now that he heard his children's words, he almost agreed.
Fortunately, he still remembered that he was an elder and said to his children with dignity: "It's shameful. Eating too much is bad for the stomach."
Xiao Hong took out a few fruit peels from her bag and said, "Eat some of this to help you digest your food. Next time my sister comes home, I will bring you something delicious."
I used to be too introverted and didn't know how to coax my children.
Children are so easy to coax. A few pieces of candy, a little delicious food, a little kindness, and a little tenderness are enough to make them remember you.
When I go home next time, I won't have no place to ask about the Xiao family.
But Aunt Xiao was extremely happy when she saw Xiao Hong being so gentle to her children. She thought that when Wu Julan gave birth to a baby, she would bring some eggs, brown sugar, and a red envelope to see her.
Ordinarily, after Wu Julan and Xiao Jianhua divorced, they were no longer members of the Xiao family and should not interact with each other anymore.
But now it seems that the Xiao sisters are sensible and never come empty-handed every time they come to visit, which makes Aunt Xiao not want to cut off contact with them.
Anyway, they will definitely come forward when the Xiao sisters get married in the future, and they are not afraid of doing it again this time.
The second grandfather is almost seven years old. What people of their age are most afraid of is that their children and grandchildren will forget to pay homage to them a hundred years from now.
So now that the Xiao sisters could come back to pay homage to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival, they felt very happy. They asked a few more questions about how they were doing now, and also told them to study hard.
When it was almost one o'clock, the sound of a tractor was heard outside, and it goes without saying that it was Xiao Jianhua who was back.
In fact, none of the Xiao sisters really wanted to see their biological father, but at the second grandfather's house, they also wanted to maintain the image of their daughter missing her biological father. They made an appointment to visit the grave together later, and then got up and left.
The second grandfather and the others saw that the Xiao sisters were carrying a relatively rare bag that was bigger than a schoolbag, so they all thought that there were things in it for the Xiao family.
In fact, Xiao Hong's bag did contain her own change of clothes, as well as toffee and some snacks, but she didn't have any, and she wasn't planning to bring anything to her father's house.
In Xiao Fang's bag, she used scissors to press ingots and candles.
Xiao Jianhua had just parked the tractor when he saw his two daughters coming in. He was very surprised and had a smile on his face: "Why are you back?"
Liu Meijuan, who was about to get off the tractor, saw them as if she was seeing debt collectors. She wanted to turn them away. It was as if she and Xiao Jianhua were saying in unison: "Why are you back?"
"Today is the Qingming Festival. My mother asked us to come back to visit the graves of my great-grandfather and grandpa and grandma." After Xiao Hong finished speaking, she asked with a smile: "Dad, I heard that you have opened a store, how is the recent business?"
Xiao Jianhua's smile got even bigger: "It's not bad. We rented a store in the town. Your aunt braises the meat. I'll send her to the town to sell it. I can also help people transport goods to earn some money."
Liu Meijuan only complained that her man was too quick to talk and she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.
She was afraid that the Xiao sisters would ask him for money when they heard that the family was making money, so she quickly complained: "I just earn some hard-earned money. The store in the town costs money, your father's tractor also consumes fuel, and the price of pork has increased again."
There are now five braised food restaurants in the town, and we don’t know how long this business can last.”
Xiao Fang was a little surprised: "Are there so many braised food restaurants in town?"
"Yes," Liu Meijuan opened the door and welcomed them in. She glanced at the backpacks they were carrying before sighing: "There are two braised food restaurants that have been open for several years. This year, we have three more new braised food restaurants.
."
She glanced at Xiao Hong again: "The Zhao family also opened a braised meat shop next to the supply and marketing cooperative. Their shop has a good location. They started selling fried chicken a few days ago. I heard that the business is very good?"
After saying that, he greeted them with greetings, served them tea and water, and was particularly attentive.
Not only did she forget about her children, but she almost treated them as distinguished guests.
