Before the New Year, the Wei family hired a shopkeeper and sent money to the shopkeepers and shopkeepers for the New Year, and the shop officially took the New Year holiday. There are still some New Year gifts here in the Wei family, such as several business dealers, and the Zhao family, the Wei family's in-laws.

These are the affairs of the men of the Wei family.

However, there is one thing that was made by Wei Yin, which was to give the landlord Xu's family two packs of snacks and two fish, and the rent for next year.

It is said that the Wei family is not without money to buy a house in Beijing, but as Mrs. Wei said, we have a family, our family is not in Beijing, but in Beijing, so we are here to do business. When we get old, we still have to go back to our hometown.

Therefore, there is no need to build a house in Beijing.

Therefore, the Wei family has been renting someone else's house for many years.

Fortunately, the yard is not small, with three entrances and more than twenty rooms, enough for the Wei family to live in.

When sending rent to the Xu family, Wei Yin called Chen Xuan to go there. Wei Yin said, "Let the second sister-in-law go and recognize the house."

"What's the one to recognize? It's the front and back yards." Old Mrs. Wei muttered, lifting the big pot, and a strong fragrance of stewed meat came to her face. Not to mention the kitchen, the entire Wei family, the stewed meat was so fragrant. Li handed over the chopsticks, and Old Mrs. Wei picked up the chopsticks and pricked it on the meat, and then it made it clear. Old Mrs. Wei smiled and browsed into a thread, "This meat is ready, don't add more firewood."

Li replied.

When Mrs. Wei turned around and saw Chen Xuan standing by the side and looking into the pot, she waved her hand, "Go and go. Mrs. Xu was here on the day you got married. It's okay to go and recognize the door, and live next to each other."

Chen Xuan knew that the meat was stewed in the next year, and Mrs. Wei wanted to take her first bite. Now the meat was stewed well. Mrs. Wei thought she was worried that she would stay and eat the meat stewed, so she sent her out with Wei Yin. Chen Xuan didn't say much. Although she also liked to eat meat stewed, she went with Wei Yin before she could even greed.

Chen Xuan went back to the house and put on the coat he went out. Wei Yin also changed into a new coat. The two of them smiled at each other. Wei Yin was carrying a dessert bag and Chen Xuan carried a bamboo basket with two frozen fish inside. The Xu family was originally in the courtyard, saying that it was passed down from ancestors. Now the master of the Xu family has no business, so he pointed to the money from the yard to live. When Mrs. Xu saw Wei Yin and Chen Xuan coming over, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen and warmly greeted the two of them into the house.

The Xu family is also an old-fashioned family, but unlike the Wei family who do business, the ancestors of the Xu family said they were studying. As soon as they entered his main hall, they came to a flower scroll hanging on the wall of the main hall. There were suitable couplets on both sides of the scroll. As for what was written, Chen Xuan didn't recognize it. Mrs. Xu sat down on the top and asked the Wei family's sister-in-law to sit there. The concubine of the Xu family had already washed her hands and brought hot tea. Mrs. Xu looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, "This year, the mansion has increased its population. I have always wanted to talk to your old lady. It's either this or that. You guys come first." Asked Chen Xuan and Wei Yin.

The two of them handed the gifts, and Mrs. Xu said politely.

Wei Yin gave him the rent for next year again. Mrs. Xu smiled and said to the concubine, "Our newly steamed sorghum red dates are delicious now. Give two to A Yin and the second young lady to try."

Chen Xuan saw that Mrs. Xu was wearing a washed white cotton cheongsam, and her jewelry was just a pair of thin white fungus rings on her ears, which was somewhat similar to what she wore. The Wei family rented the Xu family's three-entry courtyard, and the Xu family lived in it, which was the same large yard. Although the yard was large, there were only about ten rooms. It can be seen that the Xu family's life was not well-off. Moreover, according to what Chen Xuan knew in his previous life, the six children of the Xu family had to go to school for school, which was a considerable expense every year. The Xu family was either rich or his slimming nest, and they were probably steamed only during the Chinese New Year. Chen Xuan felt embarrassed to keep it and eat it. Wei Yin was very familiar with Mrs. Xu, and he agreed with a smile, "Oh, I look forward to Aunt Xu's steamed slimming nest every winter."

Mrs. Xu laughed, "A Yin, you come often. The second young lady is the first time. Don't be restrained. My master and the old lady in the house have a very good relationship, just think that it's your own family."

Chen Xuan quickly agreed.

Aunt Xu came in with a black-painted tea tray. Two small bowls of coarse porcelain bowls and two pairs of wooden chopsticks on the tea tray. A bowl was filled with a steamed sorghum rice and steamed red dates. Because the sorghum rice is sticky, it is called a mulchwo. Although Chen Xuan may not have seen many high-end meals in Beijing, this mulchwok was steamed when he was in his hometown during the Chinese New Year. Seeing Wei Yin took the bowl and ate it, Chen Xuan did not refuse. He took it and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. The sorghum noodles were good and the dates were sweet. Chen Xuan said, "This mulch is steamed delicious."

Mrs. Xu smiled, "This is the dates born from the old jujube tree in our yard. This tree has been around for two or three hundred years. Every year on August 15th, I dry and store them all, and eat them in steamed mucous nests. Sora noodle was given by a tribe uncle in our countryside. I tasted it. In the past, I bought it better in the noodle shop."

Chen Xuan was very familiar with rice and noodles and said, "This is the new noodles this year."

Mrs. Xu became happier, "Yes."

Wei Yin asked, "Aunt Xu, aren't the second and third sisters at home?" This question was about the two daughters of Mrs. Xu's family.

Mrs. Xu said, "They have a school holiday today. I guess the teacher in the school has an explanation for his studies and will come back soon."

Because the two girls of the Xu family were not around, and every family was busy during the Chinese New Year, after eating the Xu family's sticky wand, Wei Yin and Chen Xuan said goodbye and went home. Mrs. Xu politely asked the concubine at home to pack a large blue and white bowl of sticky wand, and asked Wei Yin to take it back for the old lady of the Wei family to try it.

Wei Yin was not polite either. He thanked Mrs. Xu and went home with Chen Xuan.

When the two of them returned home, Mrs. Wei had indeed eaten stewed meat. This was not Chen Xuan's magic trick, but the meat was stewed salty in the year. Mrs. Wei drank three tea jars of water in the morning, but she had several times in the cottage.

Stew meat in the morning and fried fish in the afternoon.

In addition to the big carp that needs oil, there is also a small silverfish in a tile basin. This fish is very small, but about an inch large. After packing it up, it wraps it and frys it crispy. It is a very good food. The Wei family loves to eat this bite, and Wei Yin is also busy in the kitchen. From time to time, she picks up one to eat. Wei Yin has always been likable. She doesn't just eat it herself, but also feeds her sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law to eat it. She can't help but say, "I'm not over yet, I'll tell you to eat it."

"Isn't it just for someone to eat when it is fried?" Wei Yin said, "Mom, I'll heat the steamed buns on the stove for you. Just take this freshly fried fish, and you and Ayun have a few bites."

Old Mrs. Wei suddenly had no objection.

After a while, two girls from the Xu family came to play with Wei Yin.

Wei Yin took the snacks, and the three of them went to Wei Yin's house to talk. When the two girls from the Xu family left, Chen Xuan took out the washed blue and white bowls and smiled, "It's just right to take them back."

Wei Yin slapped his forehead and smiled, "Look at me, I forgot, so I won't go there again." He took the bowl back to the two girls of the Xu family.

In fact, Chen Xuan was quite confused about some things. She said to Wei Yin privately, "A Yin, you are smarter than me, please help me think about it. To be honest, I think, the Xu family is in an average family. You said, why do so many children in the Xu family still have to study? I heard that studying is quite expensive, and schools in Beijing are even more expensive. If the Xu family's children don't study and go out to find some livelihoods, their lives will definitely be better than they are now."

"The Xu family is different from our family. His family is a scholarly family, and his ancestors studied. Look, the family is so poor. I told my second sister-in-law that although our family is not rich, they always have no worries about food and clothing. The Xu family eats three meals a day, and they usually have pickles, soy sauce, steamed buns, but that's it. The uncle of the Xu family even has to support the girls in the family." As he said, Wei Yin spread his hands and said helplessly, "Our family is not good. In our family, men are studying and women are illiterate. Now they call this blind. Ayun is so big, so they don't ask her to read. I want to say that these are all old ideas."

"Xu family, I think it's also an old-school family. His family also has a concubine," said Chen Xuan.

"They are old when they get married, but they are not old when they study." Wei Yin said quickly.

Chen Xuan realized that it turned out that not all the families in the world were the same.

Chen Xuan said again, "A Yin, are you illiterate? I think you can read?"

"That's all my second brother used to study, and I learned it occasionally. What's the difficulty of studying? My father doesn't ask me to study. If I ask me to study, I will definitely be admitted to the school called university." Wei Yin muttered to his second sister-in-law very much.
