Chapter 585 New Year’s Eve Dinner (2)
Jiang Xiaoran smiled bitterly: "Grandma, I'm already in high school."
"They're all the same." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran smiled and took the iodine from Jiang Yanlu's hand who had just come out of the room. As if nothing had happened, she carefully treated the wounds on Jiang Xiaoran's face.
Although Lin Juan was very dissatisfied with Jiang Zhe's attitude just now, she was celebrating the New Year and was about to have the New Year's Eve dinner after all, so having an attack now would inevitably hurt Harmony. She could only hold back and say nothing for now, the expression on her face was still not good.
The authorities are confused, but the onlookers are clear. Standing among these people, Jiang Feng could clearly feel that except for Jiang Xiaoran's family who had just arrived, there was something wrong with everyone here.
Jiang Zhe's sudden and crazy provocation was entirely directed at Jiang Xiaoran. Although he had a bad attitude towards everyone, he didn't dare to look at Jiang Yong and was very afraid of this uncle.
Grandma Jiang Xiaoran has been ignoring her eldest son's family since she entered the house. It was obvious that Jiang Yanlu's family had done something before to offend her. While Jiang Yanlu's wife was ignored by everyone, she also ignored everyone. Jiang Feng used his many years of experience watching family ethics dramas with Grandma Jiang to guarantee that the relationship between Jiang Yanlu's wife and Lin Juan was not good, maybe because of the Chinese New Year. To be nice, the reprimanding of his son just now was just pretending.
Not to mention Jiang Yanlu, who almost had the words "asking for help" engraved on his face.
Jiang Feng walked back and forth in the room, trying hard to observe the expressions on everyone's faces, trying to see some of their true inner thoughts under their hypocritical expressions.
It seemed that Jiang Feng had not seen through anyone except Jiang Zhe. After all, there were not many people like Jiang Zhe who had the words "I am a bastard" engraved on their faces.
Most bastards can disguise themselves, and bastards like Jiang Zhe who can't even act are considered a rare breed.
Jiang Xiaoran didn't leave Jiang Feng a long time to observe. Although he claimed to be in high school and no longer a child, he still did what every child would do - sneaked into the kitchen to see what the elders were cooking.
In this memory, Jiang Feng's range of movement was very narrow. He could only stay about 5 meters away from Jiang Xiaoran. Such a short distance greatly restricted his movement. He couldn't go to the kitchen at all. Otherwise, he would have sneaked into the kitchen and watched Jiang Weiming cooking instead of standing in the living room and playing the more difficult version of Who's the Undercover?
When Jiang Xiaoran entered the kitchen, Jiang Weiming was sitting on the small bench beside the fire in a daze.
When Jiang Feng saw Jiang Weiming, he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was Jiang Weiming 10 years ago.
He looks too old.
Wearing a thin cotton coat, he was curled up on a chair. His hair was gray, his skin was sagging, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't find any vitality.
Like an old man who has been wasted by time, it is difficult to take a breath, and he is about to die.
"Grandpa." Jiang Xiaoran called.
"Ran Ran is here." Jiang Weiming had his signature smile on his face. He became a little more angry after seeing Jiang Xiaoran, "Don't worry, wait outside. Dinner will be served soon."
"What's wrong with your face?" After Jiang Weiming finished speaking, he discovered that Jiang Xiaoran's face was injured.
"I just fell down at the entrance of the village." Jiang Xiaoran said.
Jiang Xiaoran glanced at the prepared dishes on the cooking table very skillfully. Because there were not many people in their family, they cooked seven dishes and one soup every New Year's Eve dinner.
It was obvious that Jiang Xiaoran was familiar with the dishes on the cooking table and was not surprised. Then he turned his attention to the steamer on the stove.
There was a layer of straw paper sealed between the pot and the lid of the steamer to better lock in the flavor. Jiang Xiaoran didn't understand this and asked curiously: "Grandpa, what is steaming in the pot? Steamed eggs?"< br>
"Steamed eels." Jiang Weiming said with a smile, "These eels were brought over by Sanitation this morning. They are very plump, which is especially rare at this time of year. You are not at home when the eels are getting fat every year, and you are not here for the steamed eels." After eating it, I thought about making it tonight and letting Ranran try it.”
Although Jiang Xiaoran didn't know what eel was, he still swallowed subconsciously: "Is it delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious, but if you don't like eating ginger, Grandpa will give you other dipping sauces. It's definitely delicious." Jiang Weiming said.
Jiang Xiaoran stared at the steamer on the stove with burning eyes.
Jiang Weiming smiled even more kindly when he saw his grandson like this: "Steam it for a few more minutes and it will be ready."
Jiang Xiaoran stood guard next to him.
Jiang Weiming brought Jiang Xiaoran a small bowl of oil residue sprinkled with some salt and asked him to eat while waiting and chat with him for a while.
"Of course, did you come by train or car this year?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"I didn't buy a train ticket and my dad drove here." Jiang Xiaoran chewed the fried food, "Grandpa, your fried food is better than my mother's, and my mother's fried food is too old. ”
"I just fried half of the pot today, but if you want to take it all back later, go back and ask your mother to fry the pickles for you."
Jiang Feng was so envious that he and his cousins separated from each other. Jiang Xiaoran thought that this kind of divine treatment was something he and his cousins couldn't even dream of!
"Are you tired of studying in high school?"
"Fortunately, I feel the same as in junior high school, except that English is a little more difficult. If you make a mistake in the cloze, you will make half the mistake. My mother forces me to do English cloze every day at home. I was still doing it before I left today. And..." Jiang Xiaoran Chatted with Jiang Weiming about studying.
He could only talk about this. As an ordinary high school student in China, from the moment he entered high school, all he had left in his life was studying. After all, smartphones had not been invented yet.
Jiang Xiaoran just ate the crumbs while complaining about studying with his grandfather for a few minutes. He didn't stop talking until his grandma came in and just ate without talking.
"Is the meal ready?" Grandma Jiang Xiaoran asked.
"Come on, take these dishes out first. The steamed eel will be out of the pot soon. However, don't eat it yet and wait until later. Help grandpa take these two dishes out." Jiang Weiming began to divide the dishes.
Jiang Xiaoran quickly put down the small bowl of fried food and started working.
Jiang Weiming took the opportunity and asked in a low voice: "Have you told Xiaoyong?"
Grandma Jiang Xiaoran rolled her eyes at him angrily, and her voice was also very low: "Say what you say, you have to talk about such nonsense, I don't have the face."
"Do you know what the boss's family's attitude was outside just now? Is that the attitude of asking for help? Except for the boss, that wimp, everyone is an uncle. I don't want to say it because it's the Chinese New Year." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran's voice became louder and louder. , even Jiang Xiaoran, who had already taken two steps out, noticed it.
"Keep your voice down, don't say this in front of the children." Jiang Weiming advised.
Jiang Xiaoran:?
"Of course, you take the dishes to the living room first. Grandma has something to say to your grandpa." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran said with a forced smile.
"Oh." Jiang Xiaoran walked out with the dishes, and then the cat started eavesdropping by the door.
Jiang Feng:...
Wonderful!
Jiang Xiaoran squatted at the door and eavesdropped, while Jiang Feng stood blatantly in the kitchen and listened.
"Old man, this is really not about me being partial. And to say that we have been partial for so many years, we are also the bosses of partiality. Some things are not stated openly. If it is stated openly, it will not look good on anyone's face." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran suppressed her anger.
"Now it's not a question of money at all. Besides, do we two have money? We two are old bones. How much money can we have if we stay in the country all day long? Look at what Xiaozhe is like now. If Yan Yan If Lu doesn’t discipline him, if things continue like this, it won’t be enough for Xiao Zhe to take out his coffin book, let alone our two coffin books!”
"I know, but, but... But there is nothing Yan Lu can do now. 150,000, how can he come up with such a large amount of money? We can't let him sell the house or let Xiaozhe really go to jail." Jiang Weiming's face was full of compromise.
"You...just let it go. Look how you have spoiled them." Grandma Jiang Xiaoran was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Anyway, if you want to speak, you go ahead and speak. I can't say this. You If you don’t feel bad for the second child, I feel sorry for him. The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh after they were born from my belly. Just be partial.”
After saying that, Grandma Jiang Xiaoran was about to leave the kitchen, not even wanting to serve the dishes.
Jiang Xiaoran's cat didn't actually hear anything at the door. He put his head half way out and couldn't hear anything clearly. Mainly because it was so windy outside that he couldn't hear anything clearly.
When Jiang Xiaoran saw her grandma turning around to walk out, she quickly spread her legs and ran towards the living room. After he ran away, Jiang Feng was still in the kitchen unprepared. He was hit by the wall of air and fell to the ground. Jiang Xiaoran ran so fast that Jiang Feng didn't even have a chance to get up. He was dragged all the way to the living room and lay on the ground without wanting to get up. He felt like he had just been beaten by a dozen strong men.
"Why are you running away, kid? Be careful and spill the food." Lin Juan complained.
Jiang Feng struggled to get up from the ground, wanting only to grab Jiang Xiaoran and shout angrily.
"Why are you running!"
There are so many eavesdroppers in my memory, and you are the worst one I have ever seen!
Hot chicken!
