The two got out of the car, and as soon as Xiang Jin stepped into the door, several voices greeted her.
"Oh, girl Jin, you are back?!"
Xiang Jin raised his head and saw a few familiar faces in the bay, so he nodded and greeted them one by one.
Then someone asked again, "Girl Jin, I heard that you went to see your grandparents. Why did you come back so soon? Your grandma didn't even let you play there. They stayed for two more days?"
Someone then said, "That's right, even though you are not their biological flesh and blood, but you have called them grandpa and grandma for so many years, so the past relationship cannot be faked, right? And their family's businesses are all
It's Jin Yatou who owes his strength to you, Jin Yatou. How could they do that? They are all so realistic. I think the reason why Yang Juyun has that kind of virtue is because he has that true inheritance in his bones."
Xiang Jin sighed helplessly in her heart. She knew it was not easy for these aunties to beat up the mothers-in-law who came here to visit. No, you see, they started gossiping.
Xiang Jin said, "No, please don't misunderstand my grandparents. They actually wanted us to stay for a while. It was me who insisted on coming back.
Because our school has assigned a lot of summer vacation homework, in less than half a month we will have to go back to school to make up for classes, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to finish the homework by then.”
Grandma Mo also followed, "Isn't it true? The children brought back such a huge pile of exam question books and homework. Even their grandfather and I felt that it was really hard for these children to study.
You said that it’s okay to study at school and take exams all the time. However, we only have a few days of summer vacation and we have assigned so many homeworks that we don’t let the children relax and take a breather. Don’t you think it’s too much?
But too much is too much, but the school is also responsible for their future life prospects, and that is what it should be."
Several people in the bay nodded, and then Grandma Mo saw that Yan Chen was holding a basin in his hand, so she asked with a bit of laughter, "Why did you bring a fish back?"
Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Tao also looked at them with smiles.
Xiang Jin was a little embarrassed and said, "Yang Zhao brought it to us."
"Yang Zhao?!" Grandma Mo and the others were surprised and puzzled.
Xiang Jin explained to them, "We went to grandma's house, and grandma asked Yang Zhao to buy a fish from their weir pond. Then Yang Zhao bought two fish and said they would have a meal for lunch.
We were asked to bring one back, so we brought it back.”
Grandma Mo sighed and said, "Hey, this kid really has a heart?!"
Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then someone asked, "Girl Jin, how was it when you went to visit your grandparents today? What delicious food did they cook for you at noon today?"
Looking at their gossipy faces, Xiang Jin was speechless. Why did these people really want to learn from her that her grandparents were not treating her well?
well......
So, Xiang Jin said, "There are a lot of dishes for a big table. I killed chickens and fish, cooked sausages and bacon, stewed ribs and cooked a few more vegetables."
"Oh, then your grandparents are still willing to treat you?" someone else said next.
Xiang Jin smiled slightly at them, and then said to everyone present, "You guys chat slowly, I'll go upstairs to do some papers first?"
Everyone waved to her and told her to go.
So, Xiang Jin turned around and got on.
After Yan Chen put the fish back in the kitchen, he went to the yard to open the car door and get some things, then he said hello to his grandparents and went upstairs.
After everyone saw it, someone said, "Hey, these two kids really love to study, huh?"
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The school has to work hard. It will be the third year of high school soon."
Everyone nodded, and then started talking about other things. Of course, most of them revolved around Xiang Jin's topics, such as why Yang Juyun was so hard-hearted, and then they said that since Xiang Jin's biological father
Mom wants to take her back, so why doesn't Xiang Jin go back?
Some even brought this topic up to Lao Xiang's family, saying that Lao Xiangtou and Mrs. Zhang wanted to go to Xiang Jin's biological parents to ask for alimony.
The reason is that since Xiang Jin is not a descendant of their old Xiang family, the food and accommodation Xiang Jin has had in their house for so many years is free of charge. They cannot help others raise children for free.
Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng both had speechless expressions after hearing this. Grandma Mo said, "It's all in vain. Then her granddaughter still grew up in someone else's home?"
The other party said, "Isn't that right? That's what we told them too, but the old couple said that Ouyang Weiwei didn't even recognize them. What is Xiang Jin doing for free?"
Grandma Mo then said, "But it wasn't the two of them who raised Jin Yatou at the beginning. It was Yang Juyun who raised them, and Yang Juyun has always been supporting them. Now they say that Jin Yatou was raised by them. These two
Why is this old guy so big-faced?"
The other party sighed, "Isn't that right? Oh, it's not like you don't know that family has always been unreasonable. If you try to reason with them, you're talking nonsense!"
Xiang Jin went upstairs, and then knocked on Xiang Jin's door. Xiang Jin opened the door, "Hey, something happened?"
Yan Chen handed over the thing in the black bag in his hand, "You left your things in the car and forgot to take them."
Xiang Jin lowered her head and looked down, then her eyes widened. Then she reached out and snatched the thing from his hand. "Thank you," she said before awkwardly closing the door.
"Why are you panicking?" Yan Chen asked.
Xiang Jin blushed slightly and lowered his head, "I'm not panicking?"
"Are you sorry?!" Yan Chen stared at her and joked.
Xiang Jin suddenly raised his head and glared at him, "Yan Chen, you really should apply for medical school."
"Why?" Yan Chen was puzzled.
Xiang Jin said, "Because in your eyes, these are not taboo topics between men and women at all. In the eyes of doctors, there is only one kind of person in the world, and that is the patient. How can there be any men?"
Is it different from women?"
Yan Chen immediately understood what she meant, so he looked at her and teased, "Why, are you really shy?!"
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned red. Yan Chen moved closer to her, and then whispered in her ear, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just a normal physiological phenomenon. We all know these things in biology class."
I’ve learned it before, and I bought you sanitary napkins when you had your first menstrual period.”
Xiang Jin felt her cheeks were so hot, so she pushed him away, "Can you not have such a good memory and forget about this?"
Yan Chen said, "No! I'm born with a good memory!"
Xiang Jin was speechless and glared at him. Yan Chen said seriously, "Why did your menstrual period come early this month? Is it because you have been too anxious and depressed recently?"
Xiang Jin wanted to ask him back, how could he remember her menstrual period so clearly? But when she met his eyes full of genuine care and concern, Xiang Jin's previous embarrassing moment disappeared, and then she
Seeing her softening her tone, she said, "No, I'm not anxious or depressed, nor am I nervous. My time has not been advanced. It's just that the ones I bought before have been used up, so I prepared some in advance."
After Yan Chen heard this, he felt relieved immediately, "That's good! Okay, you can continue studying, I'll go back and do the questions too!"
"Um!"
When Yan Chen turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. Then he turned around sharply, put his head to her ear again, and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, I will tell outsiders."
Not only is there a defense between men and women, but there is also a defense between men and women. I will only tell you these words!"
Xiang Jin's heart trembled suddenly, and she couldn't come back to her senses after looking at him for a long time. Yan Chen was in a very good mood, with a smile on the corners of his mouth and eyes. Then he reached out and pinched her cheek gently, "Okay, you continue to go back.
Let’s study, I won’t disturb you anymore.” After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Xiang Jin came back to his senses, stared at his back and closed the door with a bang. Yan Chen paused and the smile on his lips became brighter.
Xiang Jin returned to the desk in front of the window and looked at the pages and titles in front of her. She couldn't calm down for a long time. Her heart was beating faster. She was actually aroused by Yan Chen's behavior just now!
Did he do it intentionally or unintentionally? Xiang Jin shook his head, no, no, she couldn't be so worthless, how could she be distracted by such a light word from him? She had to calm down, calm down!
Xiang Jin closed his eyes fiercely, and then silently recited the "Pure Heart Mantra" in his heart: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, walking in the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are empty, and he survived all the hardships. The relics have the same color.
Empty, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and consciousness...
That seems to be the case, right?
Xiang Jin continued to recite it, no matter how many times, her heart finally calmed down, and then she started to pick up the pen again and continue to do the questions.
Uncle Tao is going back to the provincial capital tomorrow, and naturally there will be a farewell banquet for him in the evening, so after doing two hours of homework, Xiang Jin opened the door and planned to go down and help Grandma Mo.
As soon as she reached the corner of the stairs, she met Yan Chen who was coming upstairs with a plate of watermelon. She was startled, and then she couldn't help but think of what he said to her at that time.
, her face turned slightly red.
Yan Chen looked at her like that and asked, "Is it very hot? Come on, let's eat something to get used to. It's been chilled."
Looking at the watermelon handed to him, Xiang Jin reached out and took a piece and took a bite to hide his discomfort, "It's a bit hot, but it's okay."
Yan Chen asked, "Do you still need to study the questions?"
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "Let's not do it. It's already past six o'clock and we need to make dinner."
Yan Chen nodded and went downstairs with her. Xiang Jin asked, "Aren't you going back to your room to continue studying?"
Yan Chen said, "I have gone downstairs a long time ago. I came up specially to give you watermelon."
"Then have you eaten?" Xiang Jin asked.
"Go down and eat!" Yan Chen said.
Xiang Jin directly took another piece from the plate and handed it to him, "Why are you going down to eat? Eat?"
Seeing the watermelon brought to his lips, Yan Chen opened his mouth and took a bite, "Well, it's ice cold and delicious!"
Xiang Jin held watermelons in both hands, one for hers and one for Yan Chen. She wanted to spit out the watermelon seeds but couldn't. At least she had to use her hand to catch them. Just when she was a little embarrassed, Yan Chen held out his hand.
He stretched it out in front of her and said, "Spit!"
"Ah?!" Xiang Jin raised her head and looked at him in surprise. She had not forgotten that he had severe mysophobia.
Yan Chen said, "You feed me watermelon, and I will catch the watermelon seeds for you, so that we can both eat watermelon without missing a beat."
Looking at the clean and innocent smile he gave her, Xiang Jin suddenly felt annoyed in her heart. Oh, Xiang Jin, what are you thinking about?! It's all you think about! They don't mean that at all!
Then she lowered her head slightly and spit out the watermelon seeds in her mouth into his palm. Then she brought Yan Chen's piece of watermelon to his lips for him to eat. Yan Chen also said it unequivocally.
Took a bite on it.
The two of them just stood at the top of the stairs. You fed me a mouthful of watermelon, and I picked up a few watermelon seeds for you. They continued downstairs together after they had finished their respective pieces of watermelon.
When we went downstairs, Grandma Mo and the others were also eating watermelon. She invited them to join them, and the two of them walked towards them together.
After eating the watermelon, Grandma Mo said she was going to make dinner. Grandpa Zeng suggested to Xiang Jin whether he could make them glutinous rice chicken and boiled fish to eat.
Xiang Jin said, "Of course you can, but the glutinous rice needs to be brewed, which may take more time."
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "Your grandpa Zeng, who is so delicious, went to get some glutinous rice to soak not long after you left today. He said he would make him that glutinous rice chicken when you come back."
Xiang Jin also smiled, "That'll be soon!"
Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Tao said they were going to kill chickens and fish, and Xiang Jin asked Grandma Mo what she planned to cook tonight so that she could pick some vegetables from the vegetable field.
Grandma Mo counted on her fingers what dishes to cook and what dishes to cook. Xiang Jin wrote them down one by one, and then went to the vegetable field with a vegetable basket.
Yan Chen took the vegetable basket and scissors from her hands, "Let's go, I'll come with you."
"oh!"
Halfway through the walk, Xiang Jin suddenly turned around and said to Yan Chen, "Hey, do you want to eat fish head with chopped pepper?"
Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "As long as you cook it, I will definitely like to eat it."
Xiang Jin pulled him back and said, "Let's go back and tell Uncle Tao and the others to carefully cut off the fat fish head. I will use it to make a minced pepper fish head later."
"
Yan Chen said, "You go ahead and talk, I'll pick vegetables."
Xiang Jin thought for a while and then nodded, "That's okay! But don't pick too many of those vegetables. Be careful not to use them all, because most of those vegetables are used for side dishes. Just pick one cucumber. The purple one
Just pick two of the eggplants, a handful of the wattle sticks, and cut more green vegetables..."
"You're not coming?" Yan Chen intercepted her words.
Xiang Jin said, "Come, come. Aren't I afraid that you will pick too much? It won't be fresh until the next day."
Yan Chen said, "Okay, then come back quickly, I'll wait for you in the vegetable field."
"Oh, okay!"
After Xiang Jin explained to Uncle Tao and the others, she immediately returned to the vegetable garden. Then she saw Yan Chen holding a pair of scissors and bending slightly to cut tomatoes. His unhurried movements were serious.
Elegant and dignified, she is also very eye-catching! She has always been
I have never seen such a good-looking young man. His whole body is 360 degrees handsome. Whether it is his tall and straight figure or his straight face, he looks good everywhere! She is the only one who has never cared much about appearance and possessions.
People with strong immune systems can’t help but feel sad after seeing this.
"Come here, why are you still standing there?" Yan Chen felt her gaze, looked sideways at her and smiled.
"Oh," Xiang Jin came to his senses and walked towards him, "Why did you pick so many tomatoes?"
Yan Chen said, "Don't you like tomatoes? I'll pick two more and make them for you to eat after dinner!"
Xiang Jin was startled, then walked over and picked up the vegetable basket on the ground and said, "Okay, okay, enough, enough, let's go pick other vegetables?"
"Okay!" Yan Chen put the cut tomatoes into the basket, and then the two went to pick some other vegetables together.
For dinner, Xiang Jin and Grandma Mo cooked a large table of more than a dozen dishes, including several large dishes and hard dishes. Later, they also called Aunt Liao to eat together.
During the meal, Grandpa Zeng kept praising Xiang Jin’s cooking for being delicious. He hadn’t eaten Xiang Jin’s cooking for a long time.
Grandma Mo dispelled him angrily, "Why has it been so long? Girl Jin has been cooking these days, and you have eaten every meal. Why are you becoming more dishonest as you get older?"
Grandma Mo's words immediately made everyone laugh.
Grandpa Zeng retorted, "I mean the chopped pepper fish head. I haven't eaten the chopped pepper fish head made by Jin Yatou for a long time."
Grandma Mo glared at him, and then put two chopsticks of vegetables into his bowl, "Come on, let's eat some vegetables. Don't just eat meat all the time. You should eat a combination of meat and vegetables, otherwise be careful with your...
The high blood pressure started again."
Grandpa Zeng waved his hand, "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. I just ate a little more tonight, and it's so easy to get up. It's been a year or two since my high blood pressure went down."
Grandma Mo put another chopstick of fish-flavored eggplant into his bowl, "It's better to be more careful."
"You old woman, you just don't want me to eat two more mouthfuls of meat," Grandpa Zeng complained, but he still ate the vegetables that Grandma Mo gave her.
Grandma Mo glared at him again, "You damn old man, I'm doing this for your own good and you still don't appreciate it!"
Grandpa Zeng hurriedly handed the bowl to Grandma Mo, "Thank you, thank you, and give me two more chopsticks to pick up vegetables?"
Grandma Mo didn't want to pay attention to him, but Grandpa Zeng winked at her, "Hurry up!"
Grandma Mo glared at her again, but still put two more chopsticks of vegetables into his bowl.
Xiang Jin felt very funny when he saw this scene. The way Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng get along is really cute. The two of them are like a pair of happy enemies, and they will bicker at every turn, but the two of them are
It was so harmonious, Grandpa Zeng was actually acting coquettishly with Grandma Mo just now.
Acting like a spoiled child, yes, acting like a spoiled child! Grandma Mo seemed to dislike Grandpa Zeng, but in fact she cared about him very much.
Xiang Jin couldn't help but glance at the people around him. He didn't know what kind of relationship this girl would have with his significant other. It was true that this girl's temperament was too indifferent and cold, and she often
It's straightforward.
"What are you thinking about? You are not serious about eating?" Yan Chen put a chicken drumstick into her bowl.
"Oh, I was thinking that the chili sauce at home for making pepper fish heads is almost finished. Can I pick some chili peppers and make it again? Grandma Mo, let's go to the field to pick some chili peppers and bring them back to make chili sauce tomorrow?" Xiang
Jin then realized that he had been peeling white rice, so he quickly lied.
"Okay, then you can teach me how to make this chili sauce. Grandma Mo still doesn't know how to make this chili sauce," Grandma Mo immediately agreed cheerfully.
Aunt Liao also said she would take her with her, and she would also make some chili sauce and cook it later.
Xiang Jin agreed.
Yan Chen put another chopstick dish into her bowl and said, "Eat well when you eat, don't think too much."
"Okay, okay, don't keep putting meat in my bowl. I want to eat some vegetables," Xiang Jin said.
Yan Chen asked, "What vegetables do you want to eat?"
Xiang Jin said without thinking, "That mushroom, shoot the cucumber with that one."
Yan Chen put another chopstick of mushrooms and cold cucumber into her bowl.
Only then did Xiang Jin realize that something was wrong, so he quickly looked around at the other people on the table. Fortunately, everyone was eating and didn't pay much attention to them. She was
Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put a chopstick into Yan Chen's bowl and then began to eat the food in her own bowl silently. "You should eat it yourself quickly. Don't worry about me. I'll do it myself."
know."
Looking at the piece of preserved fish she had picked up for him, the corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up slightly.
Xiang Jinman thought that the interactions between the two of them were not seen by the adults, but he did not know that they were all watching. They were afraid that she would be embarrassed if she was thin-skinned, so they pretended not to care in a tacit understanding.
After dinner, Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao insisted on not letting Xiang Jin help clean up the kitchen and asked her to go out to rest and talk to Yan Chen and the others. Xiang Jin couldn't resist them and had no choice but to exit the kitchen and sit in the courtyard.
I listened to them chatting and talking.
After a while, Yan Chen handed a cleaned tomato to her, "Hey, after-dinner fruit!"
Looking at the red fruit, Xiang Jin's eyes lit up, and he took it over without politeness and took a bite.
"How are you, are you sour?" Yan Chen looked at her and asked.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "It's not sour, it's sweet, and it's delicious! Do you want to eat it, and I'll get one for you?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "I won't eat it, you can eat it!"
