Chapter 9168 What day
Old Yang’s family, the second room, at the dinner table.
The dishes are very simple. The big bowl in the middle is full of braised chicken, and there is a bowl on the side full of cucumber and egg soup.
Although it is just two simple dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, the portions are generous and very real. The chicken nuggets are huge and there is no fraud at all.
“Why kill the chicken specifically? It’s such a hot day, just boil some millet porridge at night to deal with it.”
Although Yang Yongjin felt warm in his heart, he still said this.
"Dad, my mother feels sorry for you. Wouldn't it be nice to kill a chicken just for you?" Xiu Xiu teased Yang Yongjin with a smile while holding her chopsticks.
Yang Yongjin also smiled, but his eyes followed Cao Bamei's figure, "There is no need to feel sorry for me, I eat well in the restaurant every day, but you mother and son are at home, so don't be harsh on yourself."
Cao Bamei took her youngest son to wash his hands just now.
This little guy's hygiene habits are not very good. He would reach out to grab the food as soon as it was put on the table. Cao Bamei didn't allow him to do this, so she led him to wash his hands.
Hearing Yang Yongjin's words, Cao Bamei turned around and said with a smile: "Xiuxiu told you just for fun. I don't feel sorry for you. We know that you have good food in the restaurant. But you don't want to think about what kind of day it is today!"
“What day?” Yang Yongjin was confused.
Cao Bamei pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately not saying anything.
Sisters Xiuxiu and Xiuhong also quietly exchanged glances and suppressed laughter.
The younger son washed his hands and ran to the table like a wild horse. He grabbed a piece of chicken leg with chopsticks and started to chew on it.
Yang Yongjin glanced around and scratched his head, "Hey, I really don't know, so don't show off, just give me a heads up, huh?"
At this time, he was gnawing on chicken legs. The childish and unclear voice of the little son, whose face was shiny, sounded: " Dad, Mom said, this is your sixty-third birthday!”
“What? Sixty-three?” Yang Yongjin touched his face, “Am I that old?”
< br>Sisters Cao Bamei and Xiu Xiu Xiuhong couldn't help laughing when they heard what the mistress said.
Xiu Hong went up and grabbed her brother's ears: "You, you are a good eater of chicken legs, but you can't understand a word, where is sixty-three? Our dad is only thirty-six!" ”
The third son swung his body to escape the clutches of the second sister, and then giggled while gnawing on the chicken legs, making faces while laughing.
Here, Yang Yongjin also understood the good intentions of his wife and daughters.
He said with emotion: "You are so thoughtful. I was so busy that I even forgot about it."
"It doesn't matter if you forget, we can just remember it for you." Cao Bamei said. .
Yang Yongjin’s eyes were filled with emotion, and he said to Cao Bamei: “It’s just a birthday, there’s no need to kill the chicken, I’m not a child who did all this.”
But Cao Bamei said with a serious face: "You can't say this. This is your thirty-sixth birthday. It's different from other birthdays. You have to be careful."
One year old, ten years old, thirty-six years old , sixty, these birthday points are the most special birthdays in the customs of this area.
For a man to start a family and start a career, as a man who is the breadwinner of his family, the age of thirty-six is an important point in life, so he must be cautious.
“This is not an ordinary chicken. I took the old hen at home and exchanged it with someone in the village for a white rooster. The whole body is snow-white, and there really isn’t a single hair on it!”
Hearing what Cao Bamei said, Yang Yongjin only had a smile on his face, and everything left in his heart was sweet. "Speaking of me being thirty-six, I remembered something." Yang Yongjin sat down and looked at Cao Bamei who was pouring wine for him in front of him.
"My birthday is two or three days apart from Zhen'er's."
"Zhen'er's child will be three years old soon. Eight sisters, you said we should What do you mean, don’t buy him something small?”
Cao Bamei paused slightly while pouring the wine, and then returned to normal.
She glanced at Yang Yongjin, smiled, and said, "You are really Zhen'er's second uncle. You don't worry about your son's third birthday, but you put the birthday of a nephew in your heart. La?”
Yang Yongjin was a little embarrassed and looked at the children at the table, "It's meaningless if you say this in front of the children. I remember the birthdays of our three children."
"And Zhen'er, this is not Is it a special situation? It’s his first birthday after following his sister-in-law to Zhang’s house.”
Cao Bamei immediately stopped saying anything.
The Zhen'er in Yang Yong's mouth is the son of his eldest brother Yang Yongxian and his sister-in-law Liao Meiying.
Later Yang Yongxian broke up with Lao Yang's family, and has been doing business in Huguang County, ignoring his sister-in-law and mother.
The sister-in-law can raise the child alone, even with the help of the entire old Yang family, although the mother and child can eat and drink enough, but for a young woman and a young child, just eating and drinking is not enough, they also need a person. Complete family.
So when there was a flood last summer, my sister-in-law Liao Meiying fell in love with Zhang Youfu, an old bachelor from the same village.
After the flood, around the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Liao Meiying took Zhener and remarried Zhang Youfu.
Although Zhen'er still retains the surname Yang, after Liao Meiying remarried, Zhen'er gradually rarely came to play at the entrance of the village. She basically stayed with her neighbors on the Zhang family side. Children playing together.
Even if something big happens in Lao Yang’s family during this period, Liao Meiying will come over to visit, but there are some things. Once out of this gate and across the threshold, it will be difficult to maintain the original relationship. .
If we deliberately maintain it, both parties will feel uncomfortable.
So gradually, Liao Meiying's mother and son became more and more alienated from Lao Yang's family.
"Then what expression do you want? You have to grasp this degree well." Cao Bamei asked Yang Yongjin again.
At this time, the three children had sat down and began to enjoy their dinner.
Tonight’s food was good. The white chicken cooked by Cao Bamei was very delicious. The three children ate with gusto and were not very interested in the topics their parents talked about.
Yang Yongjin put a piece of chicken into a bowl for each of his two daughters, and then told his younger son: "Don't just eat chicken, you should also eat some cucumbers and eggs!"
The younger son hummed a few times and listened. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but it’s very perfunctory and a little resistant.
Seeing this, Cao Bamei said to Yang Yongjin: "Just leave him alone and let him eat as he pleases. You'd better tell me how Zhen'er expresses it."
" Should we act alone, or should we invite your two brothers to come together?"
Yang Yongjin shook his head: "We act alone, and we don't want to tie others up. If they have that intention, they will naturally make preparations. .”
"We don't need to spend a lot of money. Anyway, we just send a few eggs to show our appreciation and prove that we still remember this nephew."
Cao Bamei thought for a while and nodded.
