In the past, there was only their family of four, but now they have the grandparents and their family, as well as Mr. Li, who sits at the same table as Cong Hai.
Seeing so many people together, Song Chen felt very satisfied.
Today's breakfast was prepared by my grandma. She couldn't stay idle anyway and had to find something to do.
Wen Ping and the others were helpless.
Of course, they... don't seem to be good at kitchen work either.
When eating at their house, there is no rule of not eating without saying anything. In modern times, Song Chen's family was huge and she was the head, so she attached great importance to these things, and she had always done so.
But after coming here, she no longer wanted to be nervous. The families here were very harmonious and comfortable getting along with each other.
A big family sits together and eats happily. This is the meaning of eating.
It’s not a formality, it’s not entertainment, it’s not just to fill our stomachs, it’s the simplest and most natural state.
She likes the feeling this state brings.
"It feels like I haven't eaten food from home for a long time. I miss it so much."
Song Chen drank a mouthful of porridge with satisfaction, and his face was filled with smiles.
"Eat as much as you want. You've lost weight." Grandma said and handed Song Chen another bun, "It's all stuffed with meat. Your mother paid for it."
Song Chen smiled and took the big bun, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, if Cang Xiuxuan heard this, he would be depressed again.
They were together during this period, and if she lost weight, it would definitely be his responsibility.
But Song Chen also knows that in the eyes of the elders, you are just as fat as a pig. After not seeing you for a while, she thinks you have lost weight. This can be regarded as a manifestation of love.
She silently took a bite of the big bun and gave her a certain amount of affirmation as usual. Grandma also laughed so hard that her wrinkles were piled together.
In fact, grandma should have been quite beautiful when she was young, but the pressure of life has made her look very old now. She actually thinks that grandma looks much younger now, after all, the things that have been pressing in her heart are gone.
When your attitude is good, it will naturally show on your face.
While we were eating here, the door suddenly became lively.
Wen Ping quickly got up and went out, and saw Liu Juren and his family coming, followed by shopkeeper Zheng and his family of three.
"Miss Song, you are finally back."
Liu Juren didn't even need a cane now. When he walked in, he saw Song Chen smiling like a child.
During the time he was in Beiguan Village, he was really comfortable. For a time, he felt that he was from Beiguan Village. It was precisely because of this that when he knew that the people from Beiguan Village were leaving,
Without hesitation, he brought his family here with him.
Now it seems that the original decision was a wise one.
"Mr. Liu, you brought your whole family here, I really didn't expect that you can trust us like this, I'm very touched."
You still have to say polite words first, but when Song Chen said these things, she was not all using polite words. This was also her true feeling in her heart.
Leaving home is not a small matter for them. People in this era are not at all different from those in modern times.
Modern people will choose to leave their hometowns because of the pressure of life. A large number of people are unwilling to leave their hometowns after taking root in a new place. However, these are the things that people of this era value most. They will never leave their ancestral homes unless they have to.
A place to live.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who want to return to their roots.
Their willingness to come is a sign of trust and affirmation.
"You girl said this. You saved my life. Do I just turn a blind eye when you need support? Then what kind of scholar am I?"
The most important thing for scholars is moral character, and Liu Juren has always required this of himself.
"Thank you."
Song Chen still thanked him, "Have you eaten? Let's have breakfast together first."
As soon as he said these words, Liu Juren's expression became a little funny. He was already a grandfather, but now he acted like a big girl and was a little coy.
"I didn't eat it, I just felt a little embarrassed."
The family members behind him had very strange expressions when they heard him say this.
They had asked him to eat at home before, but he refused to eat and said he didn't want to eat. They thought he was in poor health and were so anxious that he wanted to come here to eat and drink...
They didn't know that Liu Juren had an inexplicable obsession with Song Chen's food. He just felt that Song Chen's food was more delicious.
It's no wonder that the old man is being careful here. The food at Song Chen's house is indeed a bit different.
The rice was all taken out by Song Chen from the space, and the flour was the same.
When they left Beiguan Village before, they took everything they could because of conditions, and they were not willing to leave the food behind.
It’s not just them, but the other villagers in Beiguan Village are also like this. Food must be brought first. If you can’t bring other things, you can discard them, but food is not good.
If you throw away food, you will be struck by lightning!
"Everyone, come and eat together. There are a lot of things prepared, so don't be polite."
Song Chen quickly asked them to sit down together, "Cong Hai, add another table."
In the past, they only prepared just enough food for meals, but one time Cang Xiuxuan and the others came and didn't have anything to eat. From now on, the Song family would prepare more food when preparing food, just in case of emergencies.
It's the same today, and the people they came with are just right.
When Cong Hai heard Song Chen's words, he quickly stood up from the stool, "Okay, girl, it will be done soon."
I have everything I have at home, so it’s pretty quick to make.
After Conghai and the others had finished setting the table, Liu Juren took everyone in the Liu family to sit down without being polite at all. Wen Ping and the others quickly brought some more things from the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Zheng and his family of three sat at Cong Hai's table. The little girl was very cute. Everyone stuffed all the delicious food into her bowl, which made the little girl almost cry.
If you can't finish eating, your mother will beat her.
Another table was added, there were more people, the dining atmosphere was better, and everyone ate more than usual.
After breakfast, Liu Juren was ready to get down to business.
He came today because he heard that Song Chen was back and wanted to see her. Secondly, he came because after Song Chen came back, his granddaughter and the Song family could get married.
The Song family was such a good family, so he wanted to marry his granddaughter as soon as possible. Maybe he would have a great-grandson soon.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that life was extremely wonderful.
"Da Shan, I'm here today. I have something important to discuss with you."
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room. Liu Juren asked his grandson to take his granddaughter out to play, leaving the elders like them sitting inside.
Although Song Chen is not an elder, she has the highest say, so naturally she cannot leave.
There is also the Song River, which is also unreachable.
Although Liu Juren felt that the Song family was a good people and that his granddaughter would not be disadvantaged or bullied when she married him, he still wanted to see if Song He was willing.
Although he is a scholar, he is not old-fashioned and will not force others.
Song Dashan naturally knew what important matter he wanted to discuss with him. They were also very satisfied with the granddaughter of Liu Ju's family. Not to mention that Liu Ju was a scholar and they were mud-legged. Just that girl was quite attractive.
Yes, especially since she got along well with Song Chen.
For the Song family, whether it is Song Dashan and his wife or Song He himself, the most important criterion in their hearts is that the future daughter-in-law can get along with Song Chen.
Firstly, they believed that Song Chen would not make mistakes, and secondly, their love for Song Chen was too deep. If the elder brother came back with a sister-in-law and the sister-in-law would not deal with him all day long, it would be better not to marry him.
"Old man, we have talked about this before. I think we can settle it. The girl is very nice. I just hope you don't mind that my Xiaohe is a country boy."
No matter how good their lives become now, they have never forgotten their identity and will never become arrogant just because they have more money.
Liu Juren was happy when he heard this, "Look what you are saying. If I dislike your boy, what should I do? That boy is not bad, he is honest and independent, and it is my girl who has reached a high level."
.”
The two people instantly started a business exchange mode.
However, good words are never objectionable, and they both felt very comfortable when they said these words.
As they spoke, their eyes turned to Song Chen, who immediately understood.
He nodded hurriedly, "I have no objection. It's not my wife. Since you asked, you should listen to my brother's opinion. Anyway, I am quite satisfied with my future sister-in-law."
Naturally, Song He would not have any objections. When Song Chen said this, he felt relieved.
Although Song Chen had performed very well before, he was also worried that she had deliberately shown it to him. This girl was like this. If he fell in love with her, and really fell in love with her, she could wrong him.
But as an older brother, how could he let this happen?
Now that he heard her words, Song He was extremely happy.
Liu Juren and Song Dashan also followed Song Chen's words. Liu Juren was the first to speak, "Song He boy, do you like my little granddaughter?"
When Liu Juren asked this question, his eyes were very sharp, as if Song He would just say he didn't like him, and he would beat him up.
Song He was dumbfounded by his actions, but he still looked at Liu Juren with firm eyes, "I will treat her well."
Treating her well is all the promise that Song He can give. Whether he looks down on this question is meaningless. If he doesn't look down on them, there will be no opportunity to sit here and talk about this.
