"Is there anything else?" Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin when the two came out of the alley.
Xiang Jin stood and thought for a moment, then suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Let's go to the vegetable market to buy something. You, Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo will come to our house for dinner in the evening!"
"You want to cook tonight?" Yan Chen was surprised.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, didn't you say you haven't eaten the stir-fried pork with celery and fragrant dried vegetables I made for a long time? I'll cook a meal for you tonight."
Yan Chen shook his head, "Let's forget it. We don't have much time to come back, so there's no need to bother."
"It's okay. I want to eat it anyway. Besides, I haven't cooked for a long time. I don't know if my cooking skills have deteriorated. I can just test it. Oops, let's go, let's go," Xiang Jin said.
Grabbing his arm and pushing him towards the vegetable market.
Yan Chen had no choice but to follow her.
"It's cold now, so we'll just cook a few dishes at night, and then we'll have enough portions," he said to Yan Chen as he walked towards Jin.
"Can!"
"Besides stir-fried pork, what else do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you, I think it won't taste bad!"
"Trust me so much?" Xiang Jin looked at him with a teasing expression.
Yan Chen said, "Of course!"
Xiang Jin curled his lips, and then said, "Why don't we wait and see if there are any live fish for sale in the market? If so, let's buy one then. Your grandpa likes to eat boiled fish fillets, and
This will also be slow to cool down by then.”
"Can!"
"I remember that your grandpa likes to eat mutton. Let's look for it later to see if there is any mutton for sale," Yan Chen suggested.
"OK!"
The two bought fish, ribs and pork, and some dried tofu and fresh tofu, but after looking around they didn't see anyone selling mutton, so the two had to give up. Suddenly Xiang Jin thought of something.
, and then returned to the pork stall and bought the pork belly.
"I plan to make a Phoenix Reincarnation dish later. We haven't had this dish for a long time, how about it?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Then shouldn't we go and kill a chicken?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "It just so happens that the chicken blood can be cut into pieces and put into the boiled fish fillets by then, and the soup for the phoenix reincarnation will be rich and light. Your grandma, Xiang Lan and the others will drink it.
Just right.”
Yan Chen also nodded, "I listen to you!"
So the two of them went to order and kill another chicken.
The two of them returned to the shop carrying a few bags of ingredients. Xiang Jin and her grandmother blamed themselves, "Oh, look at my memory. I forgot to tell you just now. I asked your second uncle to cook the food in the morning."
I have bought vegetables for you at the market, and I said I would take them back with you when you go back in the afternoon. Now, they are in the basket in the kitchen. Do you think you have bought so much now?"
Xiang Jin asked, "What did you buy?"
Xiang Jin and her second uncle said, "There is pork liver, pork, a chicken, and tofu."
"Oh, is that really a repeat? It's okay. You can keep those things to eat, I won't take them with you." After saying this, Xiang Jin greeted a few people and said that they were going back, and also asked them if they had any
No one wants to go with them. She wants to cook boiled fish for dinner?
Her eldest uncle and second uncle were a little interested, but after thinking about it for a while, they gave up the idea. One of them said that they would go back to their hometown later, and the other said that they would stay on the street to guard the shop.
Xiang Jin knew that they were telling the truth, so she didn't force herself too much, and then asked her grandmother, "Grandma, why don't you come to our house to stay with us for one night? I plan to invite Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo to come with me tonight."
Our family is here for dinner, and Aunt Liao is here too? Look, we bought a pork belly and a chicken. I plan to reincarnate as a phoenix at night. This is warm and tonic, and also light."
"Me?!" Her grandmother hesitated.
Xiang Jin, her two uncles and aunts all persuaded her to go and see her grandfather by the way.
The old lady said that the braised vegetables and cold dishes in the shop were not sold out yet.
Xiang Jin and her two aunts said that they would just leave it to them. They didn’t have much to do after all, so they could take care of it. Then her eldest aunt pulled her grandmother aside and whispered something to her grandmother.
, anyway, her grandmother thought for a moment after hearing what she said, and then agreed.
Before Xiang Jin left, she said to her two uncles and aunts, "Uncle, aunt, I will go to the street to make boiled fish fillets for you tomorrow."
Everyone smiled and said "Okay!"
Back in the village, near the branch road, Xiang Jin stretched out his hand to Yan Chen, "Go back and say hello to your grandparents, and also say hello to Aunt Liao, come to our house for dinner in the evening.
, I won’t go over and invite someone else.”
Yan Chen glanced at her hand and said, "Should I send it back to you?"
Xiang Jin said, "No need, it's not that far anyway, just a few steps."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay," and then handed her the bags of ingredients.
After everyone went their separate ways, Xiang Jin and her grandmother told her, "Jinwa, remember what grandma told you at that time, don't ignore your mother when you go back? Otherwise, she will be even more uncomfortable.
!”
Xiang Jin lowered his eyelids and nodded slightly, "Yeah, I got it, grandma!"
Hearing Xiang Lan calling her sister and grandma outside, Xiang Jin's mother hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and then called Xiang Jin in a gentle voice with a flattering look on her face, "Xiao Jin, come back."
Already?"
"Yeah," Xiang Jin responded lightly.
Then Yang Juyun looked at Xiang Jin and her grandmother with a smile on her face, "Mom, are you here?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother also responded lightly. Seeing that her mother-in-law and grandson didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about her, Yang Juyun's eyes quickly flashed with disappointment, but she tried hard to maintain the smile just now.
, and then asked with a concerned look on his face, "Have you eaten? If not, I will get it for you. I just cooked a few pieces of meat and two sausages."
Xiang Jin said, "We have eaten before. We ate at a shop on the street. My uncle and aunt cooked it."
Although there was still not much laughter on Xiang Jin's face, Yang Juyun suddenly felt happy when she saw that she had answered her question, and then she responded repeatedly, "Oh, oh, oh, let's eat it tonight, I'll wait."
Let's make breakfast."
Xiang Jin didn't say a word, and turned to put things in the kitchen. When Yang Juyun saw it, he was very discerning and hurriedly reached out to take it, "I'll come, I'll come, I'll put it away. Why did you buy so many vegetables again? At home,
There are vegetables, meat and everything!”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother hurriedly explained, "Girl Jin said that she would invite Yan Chen, his grandparents, and her aunts over for dinner tonight, so she bought some more."
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay, then I'll take care of it," Yang Juyun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Xiang Jin handed the dish to her and said, "Clean out the pork belly. Don't touch the rest. I'll come later." After that, she walked straight into the house.
"Oh, okay, okay," Yang Juyun responded hurriedly while looking at her back.
Seeing the way she looked down and down, and was so eager to please, Xiang Jin and her grandmother couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather came out of the house smoking a dry pipe. When he saw it, he said, "She deserves it. She brings it to herself!"
When Xiang Jin and her grandmother came up to him, she slapped him angrily and said in a low voice, "Why don't you keep your voice down?"
Xiang Jin's grandfather closed his eyes and snorted at her grandmother, "What the hell, I'm afraid she might hear it? It's a good life, but you're going to be a monster in your life! This time it's great, you can't even do it to yourself.
My daughter doesn’t even kiss her anymore. I think if she doesn’t learn her lesson, she will have to live alone when she gets old. There will be times when she does evil!”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother sighed again.
After Yang Juyun heard what her father said, the smile on her face suddenly collapsed, so she was particularly hardworking and active in the process of making dinner, either helping or helping.
If you do that, you will never stop.
Xiang Jin knew that she was trying to please him in order to achieve his purpose of forgiving her, but she didn't show her kindness immediately or show how close she was to her.
It's not that she still has any deep resentment and resentment towards her. In fact, she doesn't blame her or resent her. This may be because she is not the biological mother of Xin Zi, so she always
She looked at her from a marginalized perspective, but she really wanted to teach her a lesson, so she wanted to be cool off.
If she immediately gave her a good look and got close to her immediately, she would mistakenly think that she was the kind of person who said she was tough, but in fact she was still a person who easily softened her heart. There was no way she would continue to do so in the future.
She made the same mistake again, although she didn't care about the money, but she would never allow anyone to hold her back!
For dinner, Xiang Jin only made a dish of boiled fish fillets, a dish of Phoenix Reincarnation, a dish of stir-fried pork with celery and fragrant dried vegetables, and a dish of salted braised pork, plus two sausages her mother cooked in the afternoon, a vegetarian stir-fried green vegetable, and a dish of Mapo tofu.
There were six or seven dishes, but Aunt Liao didn't come. It was said that it was inconvenient to have guests at home.
Xiang Jin's grandmother wanted to call her again and ask her guests to come over to eat with them, but Yan Chen's grandmother stopped her and said that they were Aunt Liao's in-laws, mother-in-law, and Xiang Qun.
I'm back too. The young couple had a little trouble before.
After a quarrel, Xiang Qun was so angry that she ran back to her parents' house with her children. Then her parents-in-law came over to take them back, so it was not convenient for Aunt Liao to come over. She asked them to bring the message.
Just tell them to stop shouting.
"Oh oh oh, that's it, that's it, that's okay, then don't call them," Xiang Jin's grandmother nodded, so the only people who had dinner directly were the five members of Xiang Jin's family and Yan
There are three people in Chen's family, a total of eight people.
After dinner, Yan Chen and his family did not stay too long. After returning, Yan Chen and his grandmother whispered to his grandfather, "I have been observing her all night, and I found that Jin Yatou doesn't seem to be very close to her mother."
Grandpa Zeng took a sip of tea and said, "That girl is much smarter than her mother. Her mother did something wrong like that, so she is naturally a little resentful."
Grandma Mo nodded and sighed, "Oh, that girl Juyun is so confused! I saw that she was trying her best to please Jin Yatou tonight, but Jin Yatou didn't seem to appreciate her affection very much. Look at the relationship between the two mothers in the past.
What a great relationship we have, affectionate and friendly, and Girl Jin is filial to her, every day
They were all talking and laughing, but now, look how alienated Jin Yatou is from her. I didn’t see her laughing or talking to her mother all night. She didn’t take the initiative to talk to Jin Yatou. Well, Jin Yatou is.
I will never talk to her. The relationship between the two of us is like this, and even I am upset when I see it."
Grandpa Zeng sighed, "Well, every family has a hard time to recite. She must have learned her lesson this time. In a few days, the relationship between mother and mother should be eased."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Oh, I feel sorry for that girl. What kind of things did she encounter at such a young age? The burden of the whole family falls on her shoulders alone."
Grandpa Zeng smiled and joked with her, "Not all the ancients said, 'When heaven is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first suffer his will, starve his body, and deplete his body'..."
Grandma Mo quickly stopped, "Yes, yes, what are you talking about? They are brainwashing people who are suffering!"
Grandpa Zeng laughed heartily, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Oh, don't worry, that girl can do it, what does this mean? Look, she has a firm grasp of the family's money.
The fact that she has it in her own hands shows that she has a plan!"
Grandma Mo sighed again, "Well, that's what you say, but isn't it because you are forced to be like that by life and environment?"
Grandpa Zeng nodded, yes, your parents can’t be relied on, so if you can’t rely on yourself, who else can you rely on?
As for Xiang Jin and the others, she went back to the house directly after dinner. They would have their final exam in half a month, so she had to save some manuscripts before that, so as not to be too busy when the time came.
.
After Yang Juyun cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, she boiled hot water for everyone to wash, and then knocked on Xiang Jin's door with a hot water bottle.
"Come in!"
Yang Juyun opened the door and saw Xiang Jin sitting at the desk with his back to her, writing homework seriously. She walked over hesitantly, "Xiaojin, it's cold. Mom put a hot water bottle for you. You, you
It's on your lap."
Xiang Jin didn't even raise his head, "No, just take it and use it yourself!"
Faced with her rejection, Yang Juyun suddenly felt disappointed. She walked over and put the hot water bottle on her lap. Xiang Jin raised his head and glanced sideways at her. When he met her cold eyes, Yang Juyun's
Her heart trembled as she spoke, and her expression was particularly cautious, "I, I won't disturb you anymore, you, you write yours, you write yours!" As she said that, she carefully retreated out of the house.
Xiang Jin was speechless when he saw her deliberately trying to please him but also being a little afraid of him. However, she didn't bother to pay attention to her, but lowered her head and continued writing.
The next day too, her mother got up from bed early. Not only did she make her favorite breakfast, but she also washed all the dirty clothes she had changed out of yesterday.
But Xiang Jin only glanced at her lightly and did not say any words of gratitude to her. Yang Juyun's originally expectant expression suddenly dimmed.
Just when Xiang Jin packed up his things and was about to leave, Yang Juyun couldn't help but called Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin?!"
Xiang Jin looked sideways at her, and when Yan Chen saw it, he left the room directly, saying that he was going to the yard to wait for her.
Xiang Jin nodded and looked at her mother steadily.
Yang Juyun walked over nervously and said, "I know that Mom did something stupid this time and made you very unhappy, but Mom wants to tell you that Mom knows she was wrong. You, you can just forgive Mom, okay? Mom.
Promise, Mom will never do it again in the future! Also, Mom, Mom will find a way to make up for the money that was misappropriated from the shop before, so just don’t ignore Mom, okay?"
"Repay? How can you pay it back? I'm afraid you don't have much money left on the card now, do you?" Xiang Jin looked at her with his head tilted.
Yang Juyun's eyes dropped, "I, I know, but don't worry, I will definitely repay you the money!"
Xiang Jin just looked at her mother with a heavy gaze and said nothing!
When Yang Juyun saw that she remained silent, she became more and more nervous. She was afraid that Xiang Jin wouldn't believe her and would really not be close to her as her mother in the future.
Xiang Jin and her grandparents stood aside and were a little anxious. Although Xiang Jin listened to her advice and did not ignore her mother, this attitude...
The old couple were a little unsure, and her grandmother even thought that Xiang Jin was resenting her for being nosy. Did she do something wrong yesterday when she persuaded her to come back and not ignore her mother?
After Xiang Jin looked at her mother for a while, she said, "Just work hard in the shop. Also, don't go looking for that Wang Fugui anymore. Just pretend that you have lost money and avoided disaster. He cheated the money away."
It won't end well!" When she meets her, unless he appears in front of her, as long as he appears in front of her, she will have to peel off his skin!
"Oh, okay, okay," Yang Juyun's eyes filled with mist, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Xiang Jin and her grandparents also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go!" Xiang Jin said, picking up his backpack and walking outside the house.
Her mother and her grandmother also nodded repeatedly, responded in agreement, and told them to go with them. Xiang Jin didn't care that they wanted to go with them, and walked directly towards Yan Chen.
Because she said yesterday that she would cook boiled fish for her two uncles and aunts, after arriving at the shop, Xiang Jin went straight to the vegetable market, bought a big fish and a large piece of tofu there, and went back
After that, her two uncles and aunts laughed and said, "Are you really planning to cook boiled fish for us?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course!"
Her aunt said, "But we don't have any extra pots. Those pots will be used later."
Xiang Jin said, "It's okay, I'll make it right now. There are two pots free at the moment, so I can use one to make fish.
Let me tell you, the boiled fish needs to be cooked in advance, so that it can be left for a while so that it becomes more flavorful. I will use a stainless steel basin to serve it out later, so that the pot will not be used.
If it gets cold by then, you can just place the stainless steel basin directly on the stove to heat it up."
Her second aunt came over to stop her, "Oh, no, no, no, I'll stain your clothes later. Do you think it's okay? You stand aside and give instructions, and second aunt will do it?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay!" Then she turned her head and looked at Yan Chen, "Wait for me? Let's go when the fish is ready!"
"good!"
Xiang Jin's uncle asked her to stay, "Why are we going? It's almost noon, why don't you leave after eating?"
Her second uncle also said, "That's right, that's right, stay and eat before leaving!"
Her two aunts and her grandmother also told them to finish their lunch before leaving. Then Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and said, "How about we finish our lunch before leaving?"
Yan Chen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay!"
Then Xiang Jin and her uncle said, "Xiao Chen, if you want to read a book, you can go upstairs and read it. We won't worry about disturbing you there. Yang Hui is also upstairs."
Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Yang!"
Xiang Jin and her uncle said, "Hey, look what you said, how often do you see people outside?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Then I will go up with you? I haven't seen what they are like upstairs."
Yan Chen smiled slightly.
Her uncle waved his hand and said, "Go on, go on. The first room on the left is ours, and the room near the stairs belongs to your second uncle and his wife."
"Oh," Xiang Jin pulled Yan Chen upstairs and said to her second aunt at the same time, "Second aunt, clean out the fish fillets first. I'll teach you how to do it when I get down."
"
"Okay!" Her second aunt responded with a smile.
It wasn't until half past one o'clock that Xiang Jin and the others went over after lunch. The little curly hair and the little yellow hair said that they had wandered around the street several times since they took the job from her yesterday, but they still hadn't found the one yet.
The man named Wang Fugui handed each of them a small bag of pastries, with about five or six in them, and told them to keep up the good work.
The two of them took the pastry bag and were very happy immediately. They told them to go to school with confidence, and they would help them find Wang Fugui even if they dug three feet in the ground.
Xiang Jin nodded, then told them to be careful and left with Yan Chen.
As soon as they left, Xiao Huangmao took out a piece of snack and took a bite. He immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Well, this snack is delicious! Oh, I didn't expect that I could still eat that little girl's movie in my life.
Here’s a gift idea!”
The little curly guy poked him in the elbow and said, "Keep your voice down!"
"Oh oh oh," the little yellow hair hurriedly covered his mouth, then glanced around, and then said, "Actually, that little girl is not so hateful in the movie, right? In fact, she still treats people.
To be honest, you said we just made a deal with her and there was no need for her to bring us food. Look, she even brought us food!"
The little curly hair nodded, "It's not bad!" Then he patted the little yellow hair on the head, "Eat quickly, and go find someone after eating it! Why is there so much nonsense? Since we accepted it
If they don’t have this job, then we have to do it beautifully for them. Maybe we can do something else in the future!”
The little yellow hair asked, "What are you doing?"
The little curly boy shook his head, "I don't know, I always feel... Oh, it just means making money!"
