Chapter 341 The meeting gift from the mother-in-law
With He Hua's temperament, Yin Fan had to be depressed for a while after leaving. With the goals set by Bai Su, it turned into a kind of motivation. Last time she returned to the Peace Brigade, Bai Su learned that He Hua had been studying hard in high school with Zhao Qingrou recently.
Knowledge.
Another female comrade was sizing up Qin Yanyue, and even walked around and walked past him.
The food was almost done, and Bai Su felt that a crowded place like the state-owned vegetable market was not suitable for staying for a long time.
She pulled Qin Yanyue: "Let's go, let's talk slowly all the way back."
Qin Yanyue hated going to crowded places, but it was different when Bai Su was with him.
He can also go shopping in places like the state-owned wet market.
After being dragged out of the vegetable market, she looked at Bai Su in confusion.
Bai Su cleared his throat: "Comrade Qin, do you ever feel like a peacock? There are many lesbians looking at you."
Qin Yanyue was stunned for a moment. When he understood what Bai Su meant, he suddenly grinned.
In the past, when he smiled, he would curl up the corners of his lips or twitch the corners of his lips, with very small movements.
This time I smiled wildly!
He looked at her with soft eyes, and suddenly reached out to hold her: "Comrade Bai Su, I am yours, no one can take me away."
His voice was low and gentle, which made Bai Su's ears tingle.
Why is Comrade Qin even more clingy when he returns to the capital?
This is on the street, so it's not good for people to see it.
In this day and age when you go shopping holding hands, some people might say you are acting like a hooligan!
Comrade Qin held her hand and refused to let go. Bai Su had to coax him: "Comrade Qin Yanyue, you can hold her hand however you want when you go back."
After receiving Bai Su's promise, Qin Yanyue smiled happily.
"Okay, no regrets!"
Zhao Ming went back and brought Aunt Ju over for dinner.
Bai Su and Qin Yanyue carried vegetables into the house. Comrade Ni Manzhen was playing with the twins, and Aunt Ju and Aunt Ju hugged each other, hugging the two little ones and loving them.
Ni Manzhen came to meet her daughter-in-law and was well prepared. In addition to bringing gifts to Bai Su, her daughter-in-law, knowing that she was a grandmother, she also prepared gifts for Lihua and the others.
For the dragon and phoenix, it is a silver bracelet with a bell.
Ni Manzhen held the little star in her arms. The little person raised his hands and shook it. He heard the bell ringing and made excited sounds from his mouth.
Qin Yanyue walked in with Bai Su, and Ni Manzhen laughed at him: "Yan Yue even helps us buy groceries. My daughter-in-law teaches her well."
No matter how thick-skinned Bai Su is, she is still a little embarrassed to face her mother-in-law who fell from the sky.
Today in the shop, he praised Ni Manzhen for being a good mother-in-law, and even envied her mother-in-law.
As it turned out, it was actually her own mother-in-law.
Comrade Ni Manzhen was easier to get along with than she had imagined. She really felt like an old friend at first sight. No wonder she felt very friendly as soon as she entered the shop and felt a sense of familiarity from her.
"Mom, I'll go in and help cook."
This was already the third time Bai Su called her mother. Ni Manzhen was very happy after hearing this: "Then let Yan Yue go and help."
"No need, let him accompany Mr. Han and County Magistrate Wen."
There was a distinguished guest at home, and Lihua had already called He Yan home. When He Yan's mother was helping Zhou Changqing, He Yan was already playing chess with Mr. Han.
Of course, when Zhao Ming came back after picking up Aunt Ju, he was also with County Magistrate Wen.
Comrade Lao Han's chess skills were outstanding, and he killed He Yan in a few rounds, leaving nothing behind.
Seeing Qin Yanyue entering the door, He Yan asked for help: "Uncle Qin, come here!"
County Magistrate Wen and Zhao Ming did not dare to play chess with Mr. Han, and only He Yan, a foolish young man, was not afraid.
Seeing his son-in-law lose miserably, Qin Yanyue's competitive spirit was aroused, and he felt that he wanted to help his family regain the ground, so he sat down and picked up the chess pieces...
Comrade Qin Yanyue said that Ni Manzhen prefers sweets and her taste is the same as that of a child.
In addition to the two main dishes of braised pig trotters and braised pork cooked by Zhou Changqing, Bai Su specially made two sweet dishes of honey-glazed lotus root and squirrel fish for her mother-in-law Ni Manzhen.
Marinate the duck you bought, take it out of the pan and cut it into pieces and pour the marinade over it.
Her sister-in-law Han Xiumei often sends food from the island. She soaks abalone in soy sauce, makes a stewed abalone chicken, and then stir-fries garlic sprouts and shrimps.
There is also pork belly and pea soup.
As staple food, I steamed a pot of rice, made dumplings stuffed with water chestnuts, and spread out a few corn tortillas.
After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves!
Han Lao just took over the provincial capital and has a lot of work to deal with.
My daughter Han Xiumei didn't get along well with her sister-in-law before. After returning to the Peace Brigade to spend the New Year, she called him and started praising her sister-in-law.
When she learned that he was going to the provincial capital to take up his post, she specifically asked her to protect her sister-in-law.
Mr. Han was curious, how could her sister-in-law, who used to be incompatible with Han Xiumei, suddenly change her straightforward daughter?
She was very curious about her daughter's sister-in-law, so she happened to be on a train with Qin Yanyue and Ni Manzhen to the provincial capital, so she asked the driver to give them a ride and also stopped by to meet her relatives.
A person's character can be seen in a meal. The dishes cater to everyone's taste, and a sumptuous table of dishes can be prepared in a short time.
Mr. Han felt that this trip was not in vain!
After dinner, we hurried back to the provincial capital.
Ni Manzhen learned that her favorite honey lotus root and squirrel fish were specially made for her by Bai Su. How satisfied was her daughter-in-law? She kept looking at her with a smile during the meal.
After finishing a meal at He's house, Han Xiumei pulled Bai Su and said, "Comrade Xiao Su, please send me to the county party committee compound. I have something for you."
I heard Professor Kong say that their mother-in-law in Beijing wanted to give her a meeting gift when she met her daughter-in-law for the first time.
Wealthier families would give ancestral bracelets or gold items as gifts. This is why when Zhou Zhilan saw orchids for the first time, she gave them ancestral jade bracelets.
Of course, these things are too conspicuous in today's era, so they gradually changed to giving red envelopes.
Just as Professor Kong said, Bai Su accompanied Ni Manzhen and Aunt Ju all the way back to the county party committee compound, and Comrade Ni Manzhen began to look through the luggage bag she had brought.
She took out a red envelope from the compartment of her luggage bag and handed it to Bai Su excitedly.
"Comrade Xiao Su, please open it and take a look!"
no!
Is it polite to immediately open the red envelope given by your mother-in-law in front of her?
But Comrade Ni Manzhen's eyes were like a child's, full of excitement and expectation. Under her urging, Bai Su had no choice but to open the red envelope.
What was taken out was not money, but a piece of folded paper.
When he opened the folded Zhang and took a look, Bai Su was stunned!
The paper was a house ownership certificate. Different from the red book that represented the real estate certificate where she came from, the real estate certificate of this era was a piece of paper with the seal of the people's government stamped on it.
The property address column turned out to be a courtyard house in Shichahai, the capital city.
"Yan Yue said you liked this, so this is my gift to you."
Comrade Ni Manzhen looked like she was begging for praise: "When you and Yanyue go to the capital in the future, you will live in this courtyard. This house is in a good location. It is a quiet place in the middle of the bustle. I will have someone clean it up and add some decorations later."
