Chapter 120 I just want to see you

Qiao Mai also knew that they didn't want to go back, but they couldn't say they wanted to stay. Twelve months a year, the old couple only went back for two months, and stayed at home for the other ten months.

People also have sons and daughters, so they have to get together during the holidays.

On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, she steamed the red sausage and garlic sausage, and took them to the old man while they were still hot.

It happened to be about to have lunch, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly moved into the kang.

"Girl, come, let's eat together?"

"I'm bringing you something delicious, try it, and take some with you when you leave. I've made your share. If it's not delicious, I won't bring it to you."

"It's delicious, it must be delicious."

Qiao Mai smiled and took out the sausages from the food box. They were all cut up and placed neatly on the plate.

"This is?"

"Eat the sausage I made first, and you will lose your appetite once you talk about it."

The two took a slice with their chopsticks and ate it, "Oh, it's delicious, it's a bit like the luncheon meat you made."

"The meat is more delicate than that one, and there are more seasonings."

"Not bad,"

"There is another kind of sausage. I didn't bring it here because I didn't have enough time to dry it. I have steamed these two kinds of intestines. When I eat them, I just heat them up in the pan. The sausages are called sausages. After drying, I steam them in the pan for two quarters of an hour. .”

"Is it because you can't eat at your house?"

"I'll take it with you when you leave, and you can eat it when you get home."

"Is there anything else you want to bring us?"

The two of them ate their sausages with relish, while asking about the new year's goods she gave them.

"There are also twenty pieces of sauced meat, sauce-flavored bacon, which is better than bacon."

"Any more?"

"Fruits, braised pig's trotters, sauerkraut, kimchi, everything, a whole truckload of things, I will hire a carriage and send them to the palace together."

"I just like you girl, you are really considerate in doing things."

"Okay, you guys eat, I'm going back."

"Wait."

Old lady Wang turned around and took out an exquisite gift box from the kang cabinet.

She put it on the table, winked and pouted.

"Here, this is for you to wear for the New Year. You have become the master of a big family. You can't make do with it anymore. You have to dress yourself up beautifully, you know?"

Qiao Mai glanced at Mrs. Wang, seeing that she was concentrating on her intestines and didn't look at the box at all, and neither did the old man.

She stretched out her hand and opened it directly on the Kang table, and it turned out to be a whole set of ruby ​​heads.

"Ah, if you don't talk about Xiu Xiu, you still have such a good reputation for nothing. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

The two old men couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter.

"I see you are pleasing to the eye, and you are cheap and good-looking. Don't be hypocritical and keep it. Bring it during the Chinese New Year."

"It was rewarded by the old lady, so I'll keep it. I've made a lot of money and made a lot of money."

"Look at your money-lovers."

"Money can only be saved by money fans. Those who are not money fans are monks and money-losing boys."

"Hurry up and take it away."

"Okay, I'm leaving, we are on our own, so I won't thank you."

Qiao Mai snapped the lid on, picked up the box and left, humming a song in a good mood while walking.

The two old people smiled at each other, "This girl, I feel comfortable with her."

"This is a good thing for your bottom of the box."

"If you don't bring it when you are born, if you don't take it away after death, my things will be pleasing to the eye. Believe it or not, we will live in her home for the elderly, and she will not say a word of complaint. She is such a good woman."

"Did you find out? Jiaqi didn't live with her, and made an excuse that Chuan'er was young and was frightened when she was a child. She couldn't do without someone at night and needed his company"

"I found out a long time ago. Let's not get involved in their affairs. Anyway, they get along very well. Regardless of whether they are born or adopted, they all have four children. It doesn't matter whether they sleep or not. Maybe they are not humane? Or don't The reason? We are so old, don't worry about it."

"Well, as long as they're fine."

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the four brothers of the Yuan family came. They were carrying things in their hands, and they were waiting at the door for the mother-in-law to come in and announce.

Yuan Jiaqi was taken aback when he heard that, and asked his mother-in-law to invite them to the living room. He put down his books and went to the living room as well.

Seeing the four elder brothers, he was not surprised, but calm.

"sit down."

"Old five, although parents are wrong, we are still brothers. We have not been separated for a year, and we all want to come and see you."

Talking, they put the things in their hands on the table, and then sat on the guest chair.

"Thank you, there is nothing missing at home, you should take it home and feed it to the children."

"After the separation, our families are getting better. This is for you and Chuan'er."

"Do you need me to do something?"

"No, I just want to see you."

"I'm sorry, you brought gifts, but I can't give you gifts in return. I can't be ashamed to take other people's gifts if I'm someone else's son-in-law.

The four brothers quickly waved their hands, "We didn't come here for your return gift. Back then, you were tortured by your parents, and we brothers all looked at us and didn't help you. Now that I think about it, I regret it, but brothers are still brothers." , we are your older brothers, if you have something to do in the future, remember to call us, even if you don’t have money to contribute.”

Yuan Jiaqi felt a little touched in his heart, but the surface was still the same as before.

"Thank you, brother."

After saying what should be said, the four brothers took their leave and left. Yuan Jiaqi sent them to the door of the house, watched them walk away, and then turned back.

He carried the things back to his yard, Chuan Er saw those things, put down the book and asked.

"Dad, what is that?"

"Your uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle came to see us to buy."

Although there was no smile on his face, he could tell from his voice that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"Father, do you want to get along with them?"

"It depends on their performance. Your grandma is impossible, but they are not bad, but they can't offend your grandma and dare not help daddy."

"Then if you have a good plan, you'd better tell your mother to see if she is willing to accept this relative."

Qiao Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "That's for sure, Dad can't chill your mother's heart."

After Qiao Mai knew about this, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he praised Yuan Jiaqi's character.

I have worshiped the magistrate's father as a teacher, and I am not arrogant or irritable, and I study steadily. I don't feel complacent just because I have money and power now. I treat people and things as before, and keep my heart. rare.

I just don’t know, will he still be so calm when he becomes an official and surrounded by beautiful women and talented women like clouds?

On this day, Ms. Wang sent someone from Fucheng to bring a new year gift, a whole carload of good things.

Qiao Mai sighed and accepted it. It seems that this time the gift is indispensable. Let’s bring another cart of free fruits in the space.

He gave away one cart, but she had to return two carts.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, someone from the Wang family came to pick them up, and the two old people didn't want to leave yet.

The girl and woman who came here insisted on helping them into the car, followed by several trucks, wrapped tightly with quilts, for fear of freezing on the road.

On the afternoon of the 28th, Liu Hai and Liu Ye came to see Qiao Mai.

"Cousin, cousin."

"Well, isn't it a holiday?"

"Yes, we're here to tell you. My mother said that if my cousin doesn't come back from her mother's house in the second year of junior high school, she can come to Liushu to stock up. Although my family doesn't have anything to entertain, the cornmeal pancakes made by my mother are delicious. The sweet potato porridge is also very fragrant."

While talking, I feel embarrassed to go on.

"Thank you, aunt, for me. I won't go in the second year of junior high school. How will you go back to the village?"

"I have already negotiated with the bullock cart."

"You guys wait a moment."

Qiao Mai glanced at the woman outside, "Go to my yard to find Yuehong, and ask her to give you the things I prepared, and then send them here."

"Yes, master."

Qiao Mai pointed to the guest chair, "You two sit down."

"Ai, Ai"
