After sending Xiang Jin and his family away, Aunt Liao and her natal family also returned home one after another, and then her parents also said they were going back.
Because there was so much meat that had to be taken back to be marinated, tomorrow was the New Year's Eve, and every household had to celebrate their own New Year, so Aunt Liao didn't want to keep them.
"Okay, then you can also bring some fruits for us to eat back home," Aunt Liao said, opening the box of grapes brought by Xiang Jin and her aunts in front of her family.
Then everyone saw a box full of bunches of fruits, and there were even water droplets on the fruits. Aunt Liao’s nephew and daughter-in-law couldn’t help shouting, "
Alas, what kind of fruit is this, a grape? But why are there such grapes that are all red?"
Then Aunt Liao and her brother's wife said, "Yeah, aren't grapes always that green? And it seems like the grains don't have to be that big?"
Aunt Liao and her brother also said, "That's right, there are actually grapes on the head this winter. Look at the grapes, they are still green. Are they alive?"
Aunt Liao and her nephew directly picked a fruit from the top and put it in his mouth to eat, "Yeah, it's sweet, honey-sweet! Not sour at all!" Then he picked two more fruits from the top and handed each to them.
To his father, one handed him the milk, "Grandpa, grandma, you guys also want to try it?!"
Aunt Liao's brother, her brother's wife, and her nephew's wife all looked at the two old men expectantly. The two old men did not delay, took the fruit and ate it into their mouths, following their eyes.
Aunt Liao's relatives were all smiling, and then Aunt Liao also had a smile on her face. She followed her and explained to them, "This is called Hongti. It is said that it is one of the grapes."
New varieties are introduced from abroad. Currently, few are grown in our country. They are high-end and very expensive fruits that most people cannot afford."
"Oh, is it true?" Aunt Liao's brother-in-law and nephew's wife all looked shocked.
Red grapes were a fruit that had only been introduced into the country for a few years at that time. They were only grown on a small scale and were not grown on a large scale. The red grapes eaten at that time were basically imported fruits.
Therefore, many ordinary people have never even seen it, let alone tasted it. Therefore, many people will feel very strange when they see it, and they will be envious when they see others eating it.
"Well," Aunt Liao nodded, "Look at the water droplets on this fruit and this very fresh stem. That's not because this fruit was just picked from the tree, but because of this...
The fruits are put into the freezer immediately after being picked.
I heard from Xiao Chen and the Jin girls that the freezer is specially used to preserve vegetables and fruits. In it, vegetables and fruits can be stored for at least five to eight months. The vegetables and fruits taken out of it are
It's just like picking it from the ground or from the tree."
"Really?" Aunt Liao, her brother's wife and nephew's wife were extremely surprised again.
Aunt Liao's father said, "I have never seen red grapes like this in my life, not to mention whether ordinary people like us can afford it."
Aunt Liao's mother also said, "No, we have seen each other before? This is not the first time today."
"Hey, aunt, have you ever eaten this kind of fruit before?" Then Aunt Liao and her nephew's wife asked curiously.
Aunt Liao said, "I ate it once. Xiao Chen brought it here from the provincial capital."
Then Aunt Liao and her nephew's wife sighed, "It seems that the life of this powerful family is different from ours? I can't imagine it. I simply can't imagine it. Look, just based on this
They buy and eat such rare and expensive fruits as long as they want them, and they always give them away in boxes."
Aunt Liao said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense about this. The reason why people can eat this kind of fruit is not because they are powerful, but because their family conditions are good and they are rich, so they can eat it."
Jin Yatou's grandparents are retired employees of state-owned enterprises, and they receive several thousand yuan in retirement salary every month.
Jin Yatou's aunt also works in a state-owned enterprise and is said to be a managerial talent in running a company.
Jin Yatou’s mother works in a bank, and her father is a senior official in our city. The whole family has a salary, so why can’t they afford to eat some of this rare fruit?”
Everyone in her family nodded, and then her nephew and daughter-in-law hurriedly changed their words and said, "I just made a pout and said the wrong thing. I will pay attention to what I say in the future."
Aunt Liao asked her nephew to find a bag and she would put a few strings in it for them.
Her nephew agreed.
Then Aunt Liao said to them, "I also have a watermelon and a melon over there. You can pick one up and take it back later."
"Are there any watermelons and melons in this season?" Her family members were surprised again.
Aunt Liao explained to them, "It was grown in Xiaochen's greenhouse vegetable field in the provincial capital. His uncle Tao came over two days ago and brought it, and then he brought one to me."
Everyone was surprised that watermelons and melons could be grown in this greenhouse vegetable field in the middle of winter. They thought it was incredible.
Aunt Liao said, "Yes, why not? As long as the technology is mastered, it can be grown. They also brought me two packs of hot pot base ingredients. You can also take a pack back when the time comes, so you can make a hot pot during the Chinese New Year."
Come and eat.”
"Hot pot?!" Everyone was surprised when they heard it, obviously they had never tasted it before.
Aunt Liao said, "This way, when I go back to my parents' house when I am in the second grade of junior high school, I will teach you how to eat hot pot. Let me tell you, eating hot pot is the most popular in the provincial capital now, because not only is the hot pot delicious,
, the more important thing is that you will feel warm after eating the hot pot, and it is said that it is the most comfortable to eat two pieces of watermelon after eating the hot pot. People in the provincial capital will order a piece of watermelon after eating the hot pot.
Come and eat.”
"Really?" Aunt Liao's nephew and daughter-in-law looked very excited and expectant.
Aunt Liao said, "Ah."
Then Aunt Liao's brother-in-law joked, "It seems that my aunt has tasted good things for all ages in the past few years."
Aunt Liao said with a proud look on her face, "Isn't that right? Uncle Zeng and his family have a lot of heart, and that girl Xiang Jin is also a good child, so every time they have something delicious, they will bring me a piece of it. You said they are all like this
The class is good to me, how could I not be good to them?"
Her family members all nodded in agreement with her point of view, and her mother said, "That's right, people should come and go, and when people respect you, you should also respect others in return. Be sincere in exchange for being sincere.
.”
Then Aunt Liao's brother-in-law said, "Oh, then Juyun really doesn't have any contact with this kid now?"
Aunt Liao said, "Why are we still going back and forth? She and her biological daughter have already chilled the hearts of the adults and children of that family, so why should she put her hot face on their cold buttocks?"
What's more, she didn't make much contribution to the child since he was a child. Instead, the child suffered a lot of grievances and unfair treatment since he was a child."
Aunt Liao's mother sighed, "Oh, I don't know what she is thinking? Such a good girl will not admit it if she doesn't want it, and don't want it if she doesn't want it. She thinks she is smart, but in fact she is very stupid!"
Aunt Liao and her brother's daughter-in-law said, "Isn't that right? That girl Ren Xiangjin was born with a smart and capable look. She will definitely be great when she grows up, and she will have a lot of potential. She is ruining her future in a typical way. If
I have such a smart, capable and beautiful daughter, no matter whether she is my biological blood or not, as long as she was raised by me, then she is my child."
Aunt Liao and her parents nodded in agreement, and Aunt Liao and her nephew-in-law said, "Actually, the first time I saw that girl Xiang Jin, I felt that she didn't look like the old Xiang family or the old Yang family.
people.
You see, that girl has a good appearance and is tall. She doesn’t look like the people from the Lao Xiang family and the Lao Yang family. The Lao Xiang family and the Lao Yang family don’t have such iconic people?
But it’s not easy for me to say this to others, why should I say that I’m just gossiping and causing trouble, but in the end it turns out that’s really not the case!”
Aunt Liao and her brother-in-law followed and said, "But having said that, she is really hard-hearted, huh? Such a big change of mind can happen so quickly. We really didn't see that she would be that kind of person before?"
Aunt Liao said, "Don't say you are surprised, even I didn't expect she would be such a person."
Aunt Liao and her mother nodded, then asked, "Then what's going on with her now?"
Aunt Liao said, "To be honest, ever since she treated Jin Yatou like that, I have completely seen her as a person, and I have never interacted with her again.
In addition, she lives over there and I live over here. She usually goes to the street to do business every day, and I also walk around the greenhouse every day, so there are fewer people coming and going, which is not good for her.
Little attention is paid to matters.
But her business should be pretty good. Although there are several braised meat restaurants in our town, the taste is not as authentic and delicious as hers."
Aunt Liao's mother nodded, "You are right to have less contact with her. She has a weird temperament, and is also extreme and irrational. Such people are often very selfish, and you will gain nothing from being with her."
When dating, you need to date people who are broad-minded and cheerful, just like your great-uncle and aunt Mo. Those are the people worth dating.
At our place, we also met Yongcheng and their parents a few times. Yongcheng didn't get anything wrong, but the smiles on his parents' faces have obviously decreased a lot in the past six months, and the hair on their heads has also decreased.
I feel a lot lighter, and I think the old couple are not in a smooth mood either, probably because of what happened to her."
Aunt Liao said, "Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, the Yongcheng brothers, and their wives in their respective houses are all very good people, and they have always been very good to Jin Yatou, and Jin Yatou
I still treat them with the same recognition as before!"
"Are you admitting it?!" Aunt Liao and her mother were surprised.
Aunt Liao nodded, "Yes, I understand. That child knows etiquette."
Aunt Liao's mother nodded, and then sighed, "Oh, that family is all good people, how come she is the only one here?"
Aunt Liao, her nephew's daughter-in-law, said, "That's right, why would she be dissatisfied if the daughter of a high-ranking official in the city becomes her daughter? She still despises her, but they don't despise her? I really don't know what her brain is like.
A structured one?”
Aunt Liao and her nephew said, "Then the nine sons of Long Sheng are all different. Can you tell clearly, especially in terms of people's hearts?"
Everyone nodded, and then Aunt Liao and her parents used this as an example to teach their children not to have selfish thoughts or extreme behaviors, and to be sincere and kind to everyone, open-minded and generous, etc.
The whole family responded respectfully.
Aunt Liao packed four bunches of grapes for them, picked up a watermelon, and then took a pack of hot pot base ingredients. She packed a large pack of leftovers for lunch and then said, "Go back and bring these grapes to Lao Lao."
Let’s have a bunch of watermelons. Just eat the watermelon when the two families got together to eat hot pot in the second grade of junior high school.
I have the rest of the grapes in this box. When my sister and the others come to pick vegetables later, I have to get two bunches from them. I will give Xiang Qun the remaining two bunches of grapes, a pack of hot pot base and the melon.
Then take it back and let her parents and children over there have a taste."
Aunt Liao's family members all nodded, and then Aunt Liao's brother and daughter-in-law said, "Look, you gave all the things that others gave you to us relatives, but you have nothing left, so we took advantage."
!”
"Oh, what are you talking about? We are family members. How can I eat so much by myself? I'll just leave a bunch of grapes to taste. According to what Jin Yatou said, good things should be eaten with
Share it with your closest and most important people.”
Aunt Liao's parents also joked, "Your eldest sister is right. She has something good to share with you now. You have to remember that when you have something good, you have to share it with her."
The four members of Aunt Liao's mother's brother's family all nodded and said that it should be done, and followed Aunt Liao and said, "Oh, I won't say more. Since you want to go back, hurry up and don't delay any more. It's winter."
It's getting dark early, so be careful as the road won't be easy to walk later. Also, I'm going to the fields to pick up some vegetables. Some people like those in Wan Tou still have to send some to their homes."
Then Aunt Liao and her mother were a little hesitant and worried and said, "Can the vegetables you picked earlier be served later? How about we wait until the vegetable harvester arrives before leaving, so that we can help you.
"
Aunt Liao said, "I'm used to carrying these dishes to the car every day. How heavy are they? So, you all go back, go back!"
So everyone nodded, and then went out one after another. Aunt Liao and her nephew rode a motorcycle to pull meat, while Aunt Liao, her brother, her nephew and his wife used baskets to carry vegetables and those that Aunt Liao brought to their house.
Watermelon, grapes, hot pot base and a big bag of leftovers, etc., but her parents didn't need to bring anything with them and just walked back with a wave of feet and hands.
Aunt Liao was picking up vegetables for the people in the bay. Grandma Mo and the others were also busy over there. They were also picking up vegetables for some people in the bay. Grandma Mo said to Grandpa Zeng, "Buy that much."
When the fish came back, Jin Yatou and the others only brought back four, and not many shrimps. Look, there are so many fish left in the pond, how can we finish them all?"
Grandpa Zeng smiled and said, "It's okay, don't you know how to make pickled fish? If we can't finish it, we'll make it into cured fish. When our son-in-law comes back, we can bring some to them. They like to eat that.
Hao Ze also likes to eat that. I will send him some more when the time comes. It seems that the carp can be made into preserved fish.
And the shrimps, we will put away this dish later. We will also process it when we go back, then mix it into fillings and wrap them into dumplings. Chen Chen likes to eat dumplings with that kind of filling. When the time comes, your son and daughter-in-law
You can still cook for them when they come back."
When Grandma Mo heard this, she immediately became happy, "Oh, you have a good idea!"
Grandpa Zeng said with a proud face, "Well, how can we not finish it? But let's keep it first and change the water with fresh water every morning and evening. After all, eating fresh fish will taste better than eating pickled fish.
Tastier."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay! It's up to you! Oh, there are two long cowpeas under there, under that place covered by the leaves. Pinch them off and don't hide there again.
The local elders are here."
"Uncle Zeng, Aunt Mo, are you here?" At this moment, they heard someone calling them.
"Oh, it's here, it's here," Grandma Mo responded loudly, and then said to her wife, "The vegetable collector is here."
Just as she finished speaking, the curtain was opened, and then she saw two people walking over together. The leader smiled and said, "Uncle Zeng, Aunt Mo, I may have more of this dish today."
Pull it back a little, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow, and I want to set up a stall again tomorrow morning.”
Grandma Mo said, "Oh, I'm afraid I won't get that much!"
The food boss said, "Yes, I saw you have a lot of them there."
Grandma Mo said, "Those are products from your family and another family."
The vegetable boss said, "I know, I know, aren't you still picking? Let me take it away first, and the rest of the picking will be given to the customer. But don't worry, I will pick every dish for this afternoon."
How about I give you an extra two cents per catty?"
Grandpa Zeng said, "This is not a question of money, but the vegetables we picked here are not for sale. We want to collect some for the people in the bay. Although some of their families are also growing vegetables in greenhouses."
, but they are not the same ones we grow.”
Then Boss Cai nodded frequently and said, "I understand, I understand, but you don't necessarily have to rush to deliver the food to the Bayhead people today. We won't come to collect the food in the next few days. You will follow up."
Isn't it too late to pick them up and give them to them when they grow?
To be honest, I only have to add so much after taking the order. Otherwise, I wouldn’t embarrass you. Just give me a little more because of our happy cooperation in the past, so that I can communicate with my customers more easily.
I have an explanation, you see, every household here also wants to have a satisfactory New Year, right?"
"This?!" Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng hesitated a little. Grandma Mo looked at Grandpa Zeng. Grandpa Zeng frowned and thought for a while and then said, "Well, what about those goods you saw before?
You'd better take half of it, otherwise they will come later and won't be able to carry the goods, and it won't be easy for us to explain to them, so you can take away all the vegetables we picked later!"
The other party glanced at the full vegetable baskets they placed around, and immediately agreed cheerfully, "Okay! That's it! Can you give me more mushrooms?"
Grandpa Zeng nodded without thinking and said, "Okay, okay. My grandson is picking mushrooms. I don't know how many vegetables are picked at the moment. You can go to the mushroom shed and take a look. Let's pick the vegetables here first."
Move out!”
"Okay, uncle, aunt, I'll be back soon to help you move together?!" After the vegetable boss said that, he quickly turned around and left the greenhouse vegetable field.
