Chapter 382 Gossip abounds
If Grandpa Qin and the others have an accident because they send supplies to the Guan family, the Guan family’s ancestors and grandchildren will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
After confirming that Grandpa Qin is safe, Aunt Chen has completed her task and can relax and chat with the Qin family members.
But this time, Nanny Chen didn’t smell the stench from Qin Xiaomi, Aunt Qin and others, so she understood and didn’t ask any more questions.
However, Qin Xiaomi still said: "Mrs. Guan has helped my family. We don't want to deceive her, but it's not safe enough now, so we ask Aunt Chen to help keep it secret."
Aunt Chen looked at the looks of Qin Xiaomi and Aunt Qin, nodded and said: "I will keep it a secret, thank you to the Qin family for trusting me."
When they were in the county seat, Mrs. Guan discovered the secret of the odor, But now the Qin family told her face to face that no matter what, Aunt Chen should represent the Guan family and thank the Qin family for their trust.
"Thank you Aunt Chen." Qin Xiaomi smiled, thinking that Aunt Chen was pretty good, but she was afraid that Second Aunt Qin was too greedy and would steal the Guan family's gold again, so she continued to sit in charge and chat with Aunt Chen. .
Nanny Chen knew the rules very well. She only sat for a quarter of an hour before getting up and saying goodbye: "The old lady ate too many radishes and her stomach is a little flatulent. I have to go back to serve early, so I left first."
In the middle of winter, there are not many vegetables, and the elderly have weak stomachs. After eating too many radishes, they will always experience flatulence and fart. Qin Xiaomi will not laugh at the old lady.
Aunt Qin looked at Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, are the bean sprouts you serve good for the elderly?"
"They are mild vegetables made from mung beans and soybeans. They won't hurt the stomach and intestines. They are good for the elderly." Qin Xiaomi looked at Aunt Chen and told her about the bean sprouts at home, and then said: "It's a vegetable like malt. Let's show it to Aunt Chen. If we think it's okay, we'll take a few baskets back to Mrs. Guan to try."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Although Aunt Chen didn't listen. She mentioned bean sprouts, but she had eaten soybeans and mung beans. Since it was made from these two kinds of beans, there must be no risk and it could be given to the old lady.
Qin Xiaomi asked Zhu Yiqing and Zhu Sanhong to go to the workshop.
Not long after, Zhu Yiqing and Zhu Sanhong arrived carrying two loads of bean sprouts.
Aunt Chen looked at the bean sprouts in the basket, which were as white as jade with a little green sprout on the tip, and said happily: "They are actually fresh sprouts. Thank you Qin Xiaodong. The old lady is in need of this."
The old lady now had a bitter look on her face when she saw radishes and weeds. Aunt Chen was not polite and accepted them directly.
He said again: "These fresh dishes that I have never seen before must be valuable. Please accept this small amount of money from Qin Xiaodong."
Qin Xiaomi said: "This is It’s made from soybeans and mung beans, it’s not worth much, so there’s no need to pay, it’s a return gift from my family.”
The Guan family gave Jin Naozi again today.
"Okay, I'll take it, old slave." Aunt Chen didn't waste any more words. After asking about the cooking method, she loaded four baskets of bean sprouts and six bundles of dry firewood into the car, bid farewell to the Qin family, and left the village for the town.
......
When Mrs. Guan saw the bean sprouts, her eyes lit up: "These sprouts are so beautiful."
Prince Guan heard the noise and came to In the main hall, after asking where the bean sprouts came from, he smiled and said, "The Qin family is smart and loves to dig." We have repeatedly made new things like this that are practical but not too amazing.”
Mrs. Guan was unhappy when she heard this: “New grains of arrowroot, new dyes, and bean sprouts, what’s not amazing? Why don’t you do something new and practical?”
Secretary Guan smiled and said: "Grandma, don't be angry. I am praising the Qin family. Only things that are not amazing can make it easier for the world to accept them."
The world has a natural fear of new things. Especially for things that are too amazing, the fear will be doubled, which will lead to a sense of rejection, and in the end, the person who invents the new thing may be burned to death.
After hearing this, Mrs. Guan was satisfied and said: "Hurry up and take people to move the bean sprouts to the kitchen. Let's have an early dinner today. The old lady wants to try these bean sprouts."
"It's done." Secretary Guan took Youxing and Youyu and moved the bean sprouts to the kitchen.
Half an hour later, the Guan family's grandparents and grandchildren were eating stir-fried bean sprouts.
Although it is an ordinary thing, for them who have eaten radish and cabbage for two months, the taste of bean sprouts is amazing. Mrs. Guan fell in love with the bean sprouts. She ate them for four days in a row and finished all the bean sprouts. She was still not satisfied, so she told Secretary Guan: "Brother Nong, you said grandma sent a message to invite the Qin family's aunt and nephew to come as guests." , will they bring a lot of bean sprouts?”
Guan Shuli couldn’t laugh or cry: "Grandma, you are getting more and more greedy as you get older... As a bean sprout, you don't have such calculations. And today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the Qin family is busy preparing for the start of construction, so I'm afraid they won't have time to visit."
And...
“My grandson has been a widower for many years, and it’s really hard to have female guests at home.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Guan became angry: "You still know that you have been a widower for many years, so why are you not anxious?"
After hearing this, Secretary Guan just smiled at her without saying anything.
Mrs. Guan became more and more depressed. Thinking of Aunt Qin, she deliberately told Aunt Chen about Aunt Qin: "You came back that day and said that Sister Shu of the Qin family did not have body odor..."
"Grandma, don't listen to any disrespect. My grandson has to leave first." Secretary Guan didn't give Mrs. Guan any chance and immediately stood up and left.
Mrs. Guan shouted angrily: "You are so pure and devoid of desires, you might as well become a monk!"
Hey, Secretary Guan really has this plan, but he will have to wait a hundred years before his grandmother can do it.
Nowadays, Secretary Guan still obeys Mrs. Guan: "Getting angry will hurt your health. Grandma, don't get angry."
The voice gradually faded away, and he went to the side room to read.
Mrs. Guan was defeated again and said angrily: "Sometimes, I really wish I could give him some medicine."
Ms. Chen laughed when she heard this. She knew that Mr. Guan People say this out of anger, but there is no follow-up.
Mrs. Guan recovered from her anger after a while, and asked Aunt Qin: "How is the girl's life at home? Are you suffering from yourself?"
How much impact did Aunt Qin have on being plotted by a poisonous matchmaker? She has lost her reputation, so Mrs. Guan is a little worried about her.
Nanny Chen said with a smile: "I am not suffering from it. I saw you that day, and you were in good spirits. Now you are in charge of the internal accounts of the Qin family's workshop and the general affairs of the family."
“ Well, that's good if you have work to do and don't have to suffer yourself." Mrs. Guan asked again: "The Qin family didn't say they wanted to marry her?"
Nanny Chen shook her head: "I didn't listen. Say.”
Mrs. Guan asked again: "Is the Qin family anxious? Is she anxious? She is already twenty years old, right?"
Nanny Chen answered truthfully: "Neither Qin Wu Po nor Qin Auntie are worried about the marriage. , it seems to be exactly what I said at the county government office last year, If you can’t meet your sweetheart, then don’t marry and raise her for the rest of your life.”
“The old slave also heard that the Qin family’s workshop will give dividends to the girls and daughters-in-law. Qin Shu can live with the dividends and is not afraid. Fine for not marrying.”
This?
Mrs. Guan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "This family is a good family. They are capable, able to endure hardships, know how to save themselves when in danger, and are determined. I hope they will never have any disasters again."
The master and servant were talking at home, while the people in the town were gossiping: "Have you heard that the second granddaughter of the Wu family is getting along with the second young master Yan!"
"It's getting better. ? When did it happen?"
"It was during the Chinese New Year..."
"No, no, what we heard in our village was that the strong man in Wu Li was possessed and had a son. ! ”
