After the two of them walked for a while, Yan Chen suddenly took Xiang Jin's hand and turned into an alley, followed by twists and turns.
Xiang Jin looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why is this?"
Yan Chen said, "I noticed someone is following us."
"Xiang Zhen?" Xiang Jin thought of her first.
"Maybe, but not necessarily."
Xiang Jin couldn't help but rolled his eyes towards the sky, "Speechless!"
After the two of them walked for a while, Xiang Jin asked, "What now? Are you still following?"
"Dump it!"
Xiang Jin looked surprised and said in amazement, "I didn't expect you to have anti-reconnaissance capabilities, huh?"
Yanchen said indifferently, "I have grown up in the military compound since I was born. Then when I grew up to seven or eight years old, I would live with my grandfather's company for a period of time every winter and summer vacation.
During this period, I would often exercise with the officers and soldiers in the army."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, I understand."
The two went to the supply and marketing society to buy goods. Xiang Jin bought some things at the supply and marketing society, and then went to the bank to deposit money. When they came out, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "What else do you want to do next?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, a little bit, I'm going to the vegetable market to buy some food."
"I happen to be going too, shall we?"
Xiang Jin looked at him. The vegetables she and her mother bought at the market, especially the pork and bones, were all used to entertain the neighbors who helped out yesterday, so today she had to cut some back and buy another half on the way.
Put back the cabbage seedlings and some Chinese cabbage seeds.
After removing the grain, their family had more open space, and it was time to grow more vegetables.
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
The two came to the vegetable market and bought meat each. Xiang Jin saw that one of the two meat stalls next to each other had a pair of pork belly and the other a pair of fat intestines, so she bought them both.
.
Yan Chen asked, "What are you planning to do again?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."
"Then I'll pay!"
Xiang Jin glared at him and reminded, "What was the agreement we made last time? I'm going to be angry if you do this?"
"Okay, then come on," Yan Chen stared at her for a long time. Seeing that she had no intention of giving in, he finally had to take the money back.
Xiang Jin paid the money and then said to Yan Chen, "Do you like Cantonese food?"
Yan Chen asked, "Are you going to use them to make a Cantonese dish?"
Xiang Jin corrected, "It's not them, it's the pork belly."
Yan Chen said, "It's all fine, I won't choose."
Xiang Jin nodded and then asked, "Have you ever eaten a dish made from a phoenix reincarnation?"
“You mean we’re going to add a chicken to this dish?”
Xiang Jin suddenly turned his head and looked at him, his eyes full of admiration, and joked, "As expected of a top student, he is just smart."
Yan Chen said, "Thank you, because the name of this dish is too obvious. In our country's traditional concept, doesn't chicken mean phoenix?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's correct, but I saw in the book that there are a lot of ingredients involved in making this dish, but we don't necessarily need that much. We can make a low-end version today."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's look around first and see what ingredients we can find?"
"good!"
So the two of them strolled around every vegetable stall. This stroll took almost an hour. During this period, they ordered and killed a live chicken, and rarely bought a few fresh lettuces, and then
I also bought some bean sprouts, tofu skin, and old tofu.
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "You know? My biggest dream in this life is to make money and then enjoy life.
I want to eat well, wear well, and play well. Whether it is material or spiritual, within the scope of my ability, I want to make myself happy and satisfied as much as possible, so that my life is not in vain.
This is a once in a lifetime journey in this world.
I won’t be like many people who spend their whole lives reluctant to let go of this or that. I won’t do things that would be too frustrating and wronging for myself!”
Yan Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm talking about my business, what do you call me there?"
Yan Chen explained, "I mean your idea is very good and very transparent!"
"That's right. You said money is something that you can't bring with you until you die, but I only pursue the freedom and happiness of living now. But you may not understand it. Many people can't understand it."
Yan Chen said, "I understand."
"Do you understand?" Xiang Jincai didn't believe what he said.
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, I understand."
"Then tell me, how do you understand the Fa?" Xiang Jin stared at him.
Yan Chen didn't say a word. After looking back at her for a moment, he changed the topic, "Let's go, let's see what else we want to buy?"
Xiang Jin curled his lips, little kid, you know nothing. Sister, these are all the principles of life that have been summarized after two lifetimes. Do you understand? What can you understand? Stop bragging like that?!
Alas, every time she thought about the huge sum of money that was still lying in her bank card in her previous life and she had not had time to spend it, she felt sick to death, so she decided that she would never be that miser again in this life!
It’s too hard to scratch, it’s too hard to scratch!
After the two bought their things, they went straight to the station. When they got on the car, Xiang Zhen was already sitting on it, but this time she chose the seat at the back, while Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were directly in front.
He sat down.
The two of them didn't talk anymore, but each of them took out a book and read it in a tacit understanding.
After getting off the bus at Zaoerya, Xiang Zhen seemed to be a different person. This time he no longer approached Yan Chen to strike up a conversation, but followed them leisurely.
He didn't bring anything with him when he went there in the morning, and when he came back now he was still empty-handed. Xiang Jin was more and more sure of his previous guess. Xiang Zhen was definitely interested in Yan Chen.
She went to follow them, and she also followed them when they came back. In addition to being able to get in touch with Yan Chen, maybe she also had another purpose, which was to see why they ran to town every day carrying backpacks on their backs.
It's a pity that she miscalculated today and didn't see anything. It was a wasted trip.
When they entered the bay and were about to break up, Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "Go back and tell Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng that you will have dinner at our house tonight."
"good!"
When I got home, I looked forward and saw Xiang Zhen and sneered disdainfully.
Xiang Zhen immediately yelled at him, "Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"
He stepped forward and said, "Of course I can't stand the look in your eyes!"
Xiang Zhen's eyes suddenly stared like bells, and he pointed his nose forward with an indignant look, "You, why do you look down on me? Why did I provoke you today?
?”
He glanced at her with contempt and said, "When you see a good-looking man, you rush to get close to him. It's embarrassing and shameless!"
"You, you are so shameful and shameless?" Xiang Zhen was immediately furious. She pointed at her forward nose and cursed, "What do you think you are? An illegitimate child. I don't know if you are Lao Xiang."
What about the kind of family that just talks nonsense and talks dirty?
Who knows which bastard your mother had with you? Maybe you have several fathers!"
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone. As soon as she said this, Qianqian stepped forward and beat her again. Even Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, who had just arrived home, heard the old Xiang's words.
The sound of arguments and abuse.
Xiang Jin curled her lips, then went directly into the house to get a bucket, a wooden basin, salt and flour, and went out to pack up the fat intestines and pork belly she just bought at the vegetable market.
"Sister, are you planning to make delicious food for us again?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, everyone has been working hard recently, so let's make something delicious to reward ourselves."
When Aunt Liao saw her, she persuaded her earnestly and said, "Girl Jin, you are supposed to make delicious food. Auntie is very happy, because she can also take advantage of it and enjoy the food. But don't waste your money all the time. There is plenty to eat at home."
That’s it, don’t just buy this or that, you won’t make any money, why don’t you save it?”
Xiang Jin knew that her Aunt Liao was sincerely doing good for them, so she said, "Don't worry, Auntie, these sausages and pork belly didn't cost much. I just bought a chicken today for a little money."
The beef meal our family cooked last time was paid for by Yan Chen. I happened to see it in the market today, and I happened to see a new dish in a book two days ago, so I bought it and planned to try it.
Try it, and then treat them to a meal."
Aunt Liao nodded, then smiled and said, "That's good, then Auntie will clean up with you?"
"OK!"
Yan Chen returned home, handed the basket to his grandfather, and then went upstairs directly to the house. At this moment, a visitor came to their house, and then the visitor said, "Those two children from Lao Xiang's family
It doesn’t stop every day.”
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "We can't control what happens in other people's houses."
