Chapter 226 What an embarrassment!
Chapter 226 How embarrassing!
Zhang Hongxia sometimes worries about her brother's brain, "My grandparents are watching, and you don't even look at how old you are this year. You are twenty-seven. My dear brother, do you think how old other people's children are at your age?"
If you delay for another two years, see if you will be so anxious that you will agree to marry one of those messy girls from her relatives introduced by your stepmother.
You are twenty-seven, not seventeen, and you can’t afford to wait. Instead of having you marry that woman in the future according to her wishes, which will not help you, it’s better for me to introduce you to my classmate. After all, he is a college student who passed the exam himself.
, I still have my own opinion, and I will definitely not be the one who treats that woman as a good person after saying a few nice words. And I am not saying that, if that woman confronts me, a classmate, I can guarantee that it will definitely be the woman who suffers. Brother,
You really have to consider what I say."
Zhang Honglei had nothing to do with this sister who had been eccentric since childhood. He was always said to be speechless when facing her, and in the end he could only run away.
Ding Yu didn't know about this incident between Zhang Hongxia and her brother. She came home after finishing today's class and saw Fang steaming pumpkin cakes.
The rich aroma of pumpkin can be smelled as soon as you enter the yard, and the tench goes directly into the kitchen.
"Where did you get the pumpkin at this time?"
"Sister, are you back?" Sanni, who was lighting the fire, raised her head and greeted Tengyu with a happy face.
"The aunt next door gave it to Sanni." Fang replied.
Sanni nodded and happily shared with the eldest sister Ding Yu, "The grandma next door asked me to go to a nearby village to exchange for food. They all went to the village to exchange. Didn't I follow them to collect firewood? They thought I was
Now that you are on your own, you even call me to exchange for food."
The city has not yet expanded, and there are still some hills and hills on the edge, where you can collect firewood. Before Fang and Sanni came, Dingyu and the others were burning briquettes. After Sanni came, they ran out when they had nothing to do.
After getting acquainted with the people around him, he would go to the mountains to collect firewood. But Dingyu didn't expect that Sanni would break into someone's house so quickly and be able to follow him to the countryside in exchange for food.
Huacheng is located in the south. There are several kinds of vegetables available in winter, but they are few and the prices are very high.
Everyone else also looked over, and Chen Shenzhong shook his head, "No this time, it's a batch of machines in the cannery that are very old. I asked a teacher from our school to help me take a look. I'll go with me to gain experience."
I asked the price of the tench, and it was much cheaper than the black market. I thought to myself, no wonder these ladies, who know how to live well, are willing to travel so far to exchange for it.
She used to soak half of the dead wood in water to pick fungus in the mountains, but she forgot this method when she was short of food here!
Look at the mountains and forests behind this village
The things that this family changed did not fill the two backpacks they brought, so another family followed them, and then they filled the backpacks she and her uncle brought and went back with the group.
Erni and Sanni did not follow them, but waited at home. When Ding Yu and his uncle came back, they were very happy to see so many exchanges.
Erni thought for a while and shook her head firmly, "Then forget it!"
"So, it's more convenient to eat food in the village. We never had to worry about food before."
It is inconvenient to light a fire to cook, and it is also inconvenient to eat food and vegetables.
On Saturday, after letting out tench fish at noon, I followed Sanni to collect firewood nearby. I talked to the aunts and grandmothers who were going with me and agreed to go to the countryside with them early tomorrow morning.
Why didn't she think of doing this at home?
Ding Yu and the others followed the neighbor's grandmother to the door of a house and knocked on the door. Inside, an older man also opened the door. After seeing the grandmother, he happily ushered them in, poured water and asked
What did they replace.
The two talked quickly in dialect, and soon they brought sweet potatoes and rice.
I left early in the morning, and even though it was a long way, it was only half-morning when I got back.
"I have something to do this Saturday and Sunday." Chen Shenzhong said suddenly.
"Are you going to repair someone's car again on Saturday and Sunday?"
When I came out of the yard, I saw a piece of wood root soaked in the corner of the yard, with a cluster of black fungus growing on the root. The tench's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay." Ding Yu, Er Ni and uncle all nodded.
"The pumpkin must be from last year. It must have been stored in the cellar for a long time. It is wrinkled, but the color is very good. When I cut it off, it smelled like pumpkin. I haven't eaten pumpkin pie for a long time, so I made it.
Let’s have a meal of pumpkin pie.”
Several people were amused by her seriousness.
We have acquaintances who can help us with things. Early on Sunday morning, Ding Yu and his uncle followed the aunt with backpacks on their backs. The grandmothers went to a village more than 20 kilometers away from here. When they entered the village, the group of people all had goals, Ding Yu
I knew I had done the right thing by establishing a relationship in advance.
Ding Yu knew that Chen Shenzhong studied mechanics, and that this guy recently went to a bicycle repair place to help people repair their bicycles for free without going to school.
"Then would you like to go back to farming?"
"Why don't you go to the countryside on Sunday and see what you can buy?" said Fang.
After lunch, a few people had nothing to do at home and then went back to school.
When she got back, she wanted to go to the mountains not far from home to have a look. No, it seemed that they were not allowed to cut down trees there, so they could only collect firewood.
After all, this place is not as convenient as my hometown, and it is not as spacious as in the valley. During the summer vacation, Fang even planted vegetables, but the yard was too small and the harvest was not much. Now even a pumpkin is a treasure.
Then there are dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, etc., and the tench has also been replaced.
While Erni was cleaning up, she complained to Mr. Fang that life in this city was not convenient at all.
When everyone came back and ate pumpkin pie in the evening, I felt that even if I grow my own this year, I should take advantage of the summer when there are more vegetables and save more dried vegetables and the like.
Ding Yu wanted to wait for a while before asking for leave to go to Pengcheng, so he worked hard to read during this period, fearing that he would not be able to keep up when he came back. As soon as he left the dormitory door, he was pestered by Zhang Hongxia again, asking to follow her to the library.
, the two of them were walking when they saw a person in front of them who looked like Xie Baoyi, followed by a man.
The two sides were not too far apart. Ding Yu was about to say hello to Xie Baoyi when he was pulled by Zhang Hongxia and said excitedly, "Watch a show. Last week, I told you that there was a good show for you to watch. Who would have thought of this?"
It will be staged soon.”
After saying that, he pulled the tench and walked behind the tree nearby. The tree trunk just covered the two of them.
Before Tengyu could react, he was pulled behind a tree by this person. It didn't matter. People could see them just by looking over here in broad daylight. Moreover, if someone came over later, they would be able to see the two of them hiding under the tree.
Peeping here, how embarrassing! I don’t want to follow Zhang
Hongxia was fooling around, and Dingyu wanted to step back, but Zhang Hongxia pulled him to look there. When Dingyu looked there again, a girl suddenly blocked Xie Baoyi and the man who were walking.
Still a crying girl.
