Chapter 5 First visit
The snow has long since melted, and the weather has begun to get warmer, but summer will definitely not return soon. People still need to wear cotton-padded clothes for a while, and there is no way to put away the stoves and grills at home.
The couple are getting older and are used to making charcoal fires, so they always have machine-made charcoal at home. The first thing the fourth grandma does when she wakes up every morning is to dig out the charcoal fire that was buried in the ashes of plants and trees last night to see if there are any.
If it burns out or goes out, if not, there is no need to start the fire again, just add two new carbons.
Knowing that Wang Zhong brought his new girlfriend back to visit them, the old couple couldn't help but feel a little excited. After living for most of their lives, the only thing they were worried about now was their children's marriage.
Especially Wang Zhong, as the only bloodline of Dafang, Fourth Grandpa and Fourth Grandma are most worried about him, but this boy usually looks unhurried and unhurried. Although the old couple are anxious, they don't want to rush him.
Too tight.
A few days ago, I heard from my eldest son that this boy said he had a girlfriend, and he took him to the county to meet the eldest couple. The old couple couldn't wait to ask Wang Zhong to bring his girlfriend back quickly so that they could take a look.
.
However, due to the sudden heavy snowfall a while ago, it was delayed, and Li Wanruo was still busy with work, so naturally this time could only be pushed back.
Wang Zhong drove his h9 and parked it in his yard. He took Li Wanruo and the gifts he had prepared, and walked to the fourth grandfather's house. Before he even entered the door, Wang Zhong started yelling.
"Fourth Grandpa! Fourth Grandma! I'm back!"
"Xiao Zhong is back!" The old couple who were sitting in the house watching TV heard the shouts from outside the door. They immediately stood up and walked towards the door together. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Wang Zhong carrying a big bag.
Packing small bags, I followed a girl wearing a windbreaker, long skirt and scarf from the courtyard gate to the courtyard.
"Fourth Grandpa, Fourth Grandma! This is my girlfriend, Li Wanruo!"
"Hello, Fourth Grandpa, hello Fourth Grandma! You can just call me Xiao Li." Li Wanruo walked up to Fourth Grandpa and Grandma and bowed respectfully.
"Okay, okay!" Fourth Grandpa's old face was full of smiles, and he kept nodding at Li Wanruo. Fourth Grandma was also very happy, and her smile was also bright.
"Quick, quick, quick, it's cold outside, come inside and sit down, come inside and sit down!" The old couple hurriedly led Li Wanruo into the house. The fourth grandmother even held Li Wanruo's hand and sat on the sofa, her eyes reluctant to leave her for a moment.
Move away from Li Wanruo.
"This is the gift Xiao Li bought for you!" Wang Zhong placed the gift prepared by Li Wanruo in the corner. During the holidays, the old couple often receive gifts, such as eight-treasure porridge, canned fruits, milk, oats, and biscuits.
It was piled up into a small mountain. How could the old couple finish all the food? Wang Zhong usually ate it, and the uncle and the others helped eat some, but they still haven't finished it until now.
"Xiao Li, we will be very happy when you come over. Why don't you bring any gifts?" The fourth grandfather is also a veteran cadre after all. His communication skills are better than those of the fourth grandma, a rural woman who has spent her whole life digging for food in the fields.
There are many, and one look at the gifts Li Wanruo brought, one can tell that the prices are definitely not cheap.
"It's your first time to visit, it would be unreasonable if you don't bring some gifts." Li Wanruo was a little shy, not because of her temperament, but because the people she met today were the grandparents who had raised Wang Zhong since he was a child.
Grandma did not object, and the matter between her and Wang Zhong was settled. The ugly daughter-in-law would naturally feel a little shy when meeting her parents-in-law.
"It's just this once, we won't do it next time!" Fourth Grandpa said: "There are so many things, your grandma and I will find food for you. Don't waste this money in the future."
Fourth Grandma, who was holding Li Wanruo's hand, nodded in agreement and said, "With this money, it would be better for you and Xiao Zhong to go out to eat a few delicious meals than to buy these things."
Naturally, Li Wanruo would not refute, and responded with a blushing smile. Her heart was already even more confused by the fourth grandfather's words, "I and your grandma."
"I heard from Xiao Zhong that Xiao Li is the teacher?" Grandpa Fourth saw that Li Wanruo was a little shy and hurriedly changed the subject.
Li Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief: "I work in No. 1 Middle School now!"
"The No. 1 Middle School in the city is great! It's one of the best schools here." Although Fourth Grandpa doesn't leave home, he is no stranger to things outside. Uncle Wang Zhong's eldest son, Fourth Grandpa's grandson, is now
I am in my third year of high school at City No. 1 Middle School.
"Our family, Xiao Lian, is in his third year of high school in No. 1 Middle School."
"Grandpa, I teach junior high school!" Li Wanruo explained awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
But the Fourth Grandpa was a thick-skinned person: "They are all the same, are they all from No. 1 Middle School!"
"How old is Xiao Li this year?"
"Just turned twenty-five."
"That's twenty-six. He's three years younger than our Xiao Zhong, so he's just the right age." Fourth Grandpa nodded and asked, "Have you ever thought about the future?"
Li Wanruo's face turned redder.
Wang Zhong took the words and said: "Fourth Grandpa, Xiao Ruo and I have discussed it. If you agree, we will call the elders of the two families to gather together some other day to have a meal together and discuss the matter between me and Xiao Ruo.
"
Li Wanruo also nodded and said, "My parents also agreed."
"That's a good relationship!" Fourth Grandpa's eyes lit up, and his two or three smiles got even louder: "Tomorrow happens to be Sunday, so we have to choose a day that doesn't coincide with the sun. If your parents are free, our two families will meet tomorrow.
How about it?"
Fourth Grandpa has always been calm, but this is the first time Wang Zhong has seen him so anxious like today.
"Grandpa, I have to tell my parents first!" Li Wanruo's voice became much softer.
Fourth Grandpa laughed and said: "It should be! It should be!"
The old couple looked at Li Wanruo as if they had seen something precious, extremely curious.
Wang Zhong stayed with him for a while, then ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Today is the first time Li Wanruo visits Fourth Grandpa and Fourth Grandma. Naturally, the food cannot be simple. Moreover, Fourth Grandma caught a chicken and duck last night and kept them in a cage for a day and a night.
Waiting for Wang Zhong to come back and clean up.
After Wang Zhong cut off the blood and drained the blood, Fourth Grandma led Li Wanruo to help clean up the chickens and ducks. Originally, according to Fourth Grandma's wish, Li Wanruo was told not to do the dirty work, so she and Wang Zhong could do it alone.
But Li Wanruo was not the kind of charming young lady who kept her fingers crossed, and she also wanted to leave a good impression in front of Fourth Grandpa and Fourth Grandma. With her insistence, the work of cleaning up the chickens and ducks was done.
She and the Fourth Grandma took her over.
The chickens were easy to take care of, but the ducks were much more difficult. Fortunately, the fourth grandmother was an old hand, and under her leadership, the chickens and ducks were quickly taken care of.
