Chapter 138 Face
After Shen Tian left, Chu Heng took out the new year gifts sent by Zhao Weiguo and shared them with his aunts. This time, he gave more red sausages, more than twenty pieces, for him alone. He was given one piece, but the dried sausage was less. He only gave half a piece to each person. Mountain products such as Hericium erinaceus were too rare, so he was reluctant to give them a piece.
But even so, the aunts were laughing so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes. They were throwing out all kinds of good words as if they were free of charge, and they almost praised him to the sky.
You can imagine how united the employees in the store will be after he takes office.
I don’t dare to say where to hit, but it should still be possible to use it like an arm.
After corrupting a circle of people, Chu Heng rushed to Miss Ni, put the things on the counter, and asked her: "Didn't you say that your mother is going to stew chicken tonight? How about we cook it now?" Bring the mountain products, the chicken stewed with Hericium mushrooms is so delicious.”
He made an appointment with the girl a few days ago to go to Ni’s house to deliver New Year’s gifts. Ni’s mother started preparing food early. I plan to prepare a sumptuous meal for my dear uncle.
Ni Yinghong was rubbing her cheeks that had been sore all night. She shook her head when she heard this and said sadly: "It's too late. My mother stewed the old hen when she got up in the morning. It's all cooked now." ."
"That's it." Chu Heng smacked his lips in disappointment. , seeing her acting strangely, asked curiously: "Why are you rubbing your face all the time?"
"I ate three cups of ice cream!" The girl gave him a look that seemed to be angry and resentful, and pouted with a red smile. Xiaozui said angrily: "I know how to abuse people every day!"
"Why are you so cruel to people? Aren't you very happy when I eat honey!" Chu Heng blinked mischievously.
Ni Yinghong's heart trembled, and her body softened. With a shy face, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on his face, pushing him back hard: "Oh, you...shut up, what are you doing? Go."
"Hey, you weren't like that yesterday." Chu Heng bared his teeth and smiled, and hurriedly ran out of the shop while the girl was looking for something to throw at him.
There are many people on the street. The adults are walking home happily carrying various New Year goods they just bought. The children who are on vacation are jumping and playing around their parents. Some of the richer families have some There are machetes, masks, small windmills, dolls and other toys, and you can even see the back molars if you are happy.
There are also some half-year-old children holding incense sticks in their hands. From time to time they will take out a small firecracker from their pocket, light it and throw it out, scaring passers-by.
The soft and chilly north wind is filled with laughter and the faint smell of sulfur, giving this ancient city a hint of the New Year in advance.
Chu Heng strolled down the street with a cigarette in his mouth. On a whim, he took out his camera and took pictures, recording the simple and energetic smiles on the film.
……
Evening.
The young couple first went to Chu Heng’s house after get off work, and then went out together with various gifts that they had prepared long ago, preparing to go to Ni’s house.
He brought a lot of things this time, including a bucket of water, two elbows, four pig's trotters, two cans of malted milk, two bottles of Maotai, a large front door, a large bag of pastries, and some mountain products sent by Zhao Weiguo. The red sausage and dried sausage were enough for his mother-in-law to show off to his sisters for several days.
The two of them spent a lot of effort before hanging the large and small packages on the bicycle.
"What do you think you are doing with so many things?" Miss Ni looked helplessly at her car, which was full of broken pieces. It was so hard to ride.
“It’s the New Year.” Chu Heng smiled and touched her head, turned around and pushed her into the car to go out.
It happened that the third uncle from across the street, Yan Bugui, came back from get off work. He stopped and greeted the old man with a smile: "The third uncle is back."
Ni Yinghong also quickly called people: "Third uncle."
"Oh, Yinghong is here." The third uncle smiled and nodded, glanced at the things in the two people's cars, and his saliva was about to flow out: "Where are you two going?"
This big pig's knuckle is really rare!
"Go to my father-in-law's house. Let's talk back. We'll have dinner in a minute." After saying that, Chu Heng pushed the car and walked out, followed closely by Miss Ni.
The third uncle quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, Hengzi." Chu Heng turned around and looked at him, curiously asking: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's no big deal, I just want to ask if your family still needs me to write the couplets this year?" the third uncle asked with a smile.
Chu Heng immediately understood what it meant. The couplets for each family in the courtyard are written by the third uncle every year, and in return, each family must give the old man some peanuts and melon seeds. As a thank you gift.
The reason why he asked this question was because he wanted to get some reassurance. This old man was narrow-minded and scheming, so he would always be thinking about this benefit before the idea was realized.
Chu Heng not only smiled for a while, but also smiled and said: "I must ask you to write it. I have all the candies and melon seeds ready."
After receiving a positive reply, the third uncle was relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, I will be the first to give it to you on the 30th day."
"Thank you first." Chu Heng He raised his hand and looked at the time. He quickly said: "I won't talk to you anymore. My mother-in-law and the others will be anxious soon."
"Go quickly, go quickly, watch your step, the road is slippery today." The third uncle He said with a smile.
After leaving the hospital, the young couple hurriedly rode to Ni's house. It was almost half past five before they arrived.
At this time, all the Ni family members have returned, and the food and wine are on the table, waiting for them.
Mother Ni, who was looking at the door of her house, saw the young couple carrying things into the courtyard, and quickly opened the door to welcome them. The old lady took the things from Chu Heng's hands with a smile on her face, and scolded: "Hengzi, why did you buy these things?" Ah, what a waste of money."
"It was given by a friend, it didn't cost much." Chu Heng gave her some light things and carried the water and elbows himself.
After they entered the room, Ni Chen stood up with a smile, took the things in his hands, and greeted: "Hurry up and sit down, Hengzi."
No one paid attention to those who were following behind. Ni Yinghong rolled her eyes at the people in the room and angrily carried her things into the kitchen.
Everyone of them doesn’t treat me as a human being or what?
So sad!
After Chu Heng sat down, Father Ni on the side handed him a cigarette and asked: "Hengzi, has it been decided when will you be promoted to director?"
"Chu Heng 5. Official handover." Chu Heng quickly took the cigarette and took out the lighter to light it for his father-in-law.
The smile on Ni's father's face became brighter when he heard this. My uncle was promoted on the fifth day of the lunar month. When the girl gets married on the eighteenth day, it will be even more honorable.
This time the whole courtyard is filled with the best of luck in marrying his daughter!
I'm so jealous of those nagging old ladies!
"Hengzi was promoted on the fifth day of the lunar new year!" The sister-in-law came in with bowls and chopsticks and joked: "You will have to treat me then."
"No problem, yes. Just ask for whatever you want to eat." Chu Heng smiled. He responded and finally asked: "Sister-in-law, did you get the fungus today? I just love to eat your black fungus."
"How can I forget? I know you like to eat it, so I made more of it. It's quite a lot, I'll make sure you have enough." Sister-in-law said.
Gone.
