When Dabao saw his mother's anxious look, he immediately realized that his mother didn't want Chen Xiaohui to continue talking. Dabao shook his head and said: "I don't know. Our New Year's money was given to our mother."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment because of Dabao's words. Fortunately, Chen Xiaohui stared at Dabao and didn't notice her gaffe. Ye Fan smiled and said: "Yes, it's here with me."
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but said: "What are you doing for your mother? If it's in your mother's hands, you won't come back."
Dabao wanted to roll his eyes. He didn't know anything and still dared to sow discord: "Why do I need money if I don't buy anything?"
"Buy snacks and toys." Chen Xiaohui continued to encourage, "ask your mother to come back and keep it yourself."
Erbao glanced at Chen Xiaohui curiously, "Aren't you tired from riding in the car?"
Chen Xiaohui is not tired, otherwise she would not have the energy to calculate the money of Dabao and Erbao.
Ye Fan said: "You can go and rest."
Chen Xiaohui frowned: "Do you believe me——"
Ye Fan interrupted: "Answer me a question, are you in a hurry to buy or is he in a hurry to sell?"
"I -" Chen Xiaohui wanted to say that she was anxious to buy because of the rapid changes after the reform and opening up. If the price doesn't rise now and get it, she won't be able to afford it in two years. "What can I say if I am anxious? How can he say if he is anxious? ?”
Ye Fan: "Do your classmates know that you are anxious to buy antiques?"
"I don't know." She didn't dare to talk about antiques with her classmates, fearing that her classmates and outsiders would set her up. Chen Xiaohui said, "When he said that his relatives were planning to go abroad, one of my classmates asked him when his relatives would leave. He said that he would leave as soon as he got the visa and sorted out everything at home. That's how I knew."
Ye Fan: "He is more anxious than you? Then why don't you wait any longer?"
"What should I do if someone buys it?" Chen Xiaohui asked.
Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but nod: "Don't worry about selling good things."
Ye Fan glared at her: "Drink your water!"
Geng Zhiqin picked up the enamel jar.
Dabao leaned on the bench and watched the excitement: "You should be punished, sister-in-law."
Geng Zhiqin: “Do you still want the new year’s money?”
Dabao shook his head.
Geng Zhiqin: “You don’t want what your grandparents gave you?”
Dabao nodded: "Yes. If you don't give it to me, I will tell my grandparents that you spent the New Year's money of me and Erbao."
Geng Zhiqin forgot that she could still do this and did not scare her eldest nephew. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her eldest nephew, and then took out the two small red envelopes from the mezzanine of her handbag.
Dabao took it with a smile: "Thank you, aunt." He handed one to Erbao.
Erbao opened it, looked at it, and stuffed it into his brother's hand. Dabao habitually got up and went back to the bedroom to put away things, but as soon as he saw Chen Xiaohui, he put the lucky money into his mother's hand.
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but complain: "Silly."
Dabao: "Are you smart? Are you as smart as my mother?"
Chen Xiaohui's head hurts: "Ye Fan, your son——"
"I can educate my son." Ye Fan interrupted, "Let me ask you another question, why are your classmates' relatives anxious to go abroad?"
Geng Zhiqin blurted out: "It's good abroad."
Ye Fan sighed. Geng Zhiqin got up immediately and said, "Is there hot water in the kitchen? I'll wash my face, brush my teeth and go to sleep!" Without waiting for her sister-in-law to speak, she hurried to the kitchen, fearing she would be scolded later.
Dabao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Ye Fan glanced at his son, Dabao covered his mouth and smiled.
Liao Miaomiao felt that she was not suitable to stay, so she found a reason to go home.
Ye Fan was actually not afraid of her listening, but he didn't stop her if she wanted to go home. Ye Fan waited for her to leave before continuing: "It's a fact that overseas countries are developed. I can't deny it. But why didn't your classmate's relatives leave earlier when they had overseas connections? Because they didn't want to leave their hometown. They are so anxious now because they are worried about culture/ The Revolution is revived.”
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but said: "So he is more anxious than me?"
Nonsense, isn't it? Ye Fan complained in his mind, "I don't know when the visa will be issued. Your classmates and relatives still have the patience to bargain. Once the visa is approved, he will definitely sell everything he can. Things from the late Qing Dynasty may be given to you as gifts."
Chen Xiaohui: "Even if he sells it in half a year, I still have no money."
Ye Fan: "Not one point?" Chen Xiaohui: "Two or three hundred."
"Isn't that enough?" Ye Fan asked, "Buy one or two high-quality goods first. During this period, you can take classes to enrich yourself. I will definitely lend it to you when you need money again."
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but mutter: "I can ask others to help me palm my eyes."
Ye Fan asked: "No need to owe any favors?"
Chen Xiaohui suddenly thought that it was easy to repay debts, but it was difficult to repay favors, "Well, I will listen to you this time."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her, stood up and put away the food his sister-in-law bought for the two children.
Geng Zhiqin listened to the two chatting in the kitchen, then came out with a kettle and asked Chen Xiaohui if she wanted to wash her face and brush her teeth. Chen Xiaohui subconsciously looked at Ye Fan, who was amused: "Why are you looking at me? If I don't lend you money, why can't I let you wash your face and brush your teeth?"
Chen Xiaohui entered the house carrying her bag.
Dabao covered his mouth and said: "Mom, aunt is angry."
Ye Fan whispered: "No. She was embarrassed by what I said and pretended to be angry. Just like you sometimes like to beat someone up."
"I don't have one!" Dabao got angry and stamped his feet, "Give me a piece of honey twist!"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment. Why would he eat when he was angry? Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he gave him a piece and gave his daughter a piece, "Mom, wash the vegetables and cook, are you two here or go to the kitchen?"
Dabao asked: "Do you want me to light a fire?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Mom, wash the vegetables first."
Unexpectedly, Geng Zhiqin would come over today. Ye Fan did not go to the vegetable market in the morning because the vegetables in the yard were enough for her and Dabao Erbao. Ye Fan carried the vegetable basket to the courtyard and saw Geng Zhiqin busy washing his hair. He asked, "Xiao Qin, will you have something to eat today?"
Geng Zhiqin: "Whatever. It feels uncomfortable to ride in the car and I have no appetite."
Ye Fan looked at the man who came out at some point and was brushing his teeth by the water well: "What about you?"
Chen Xiaohui was speechless. She nodded and looked at Geng Zhanqian, which meant the same thing as her.
Ye Fan gathered a handful of green vegetables and a handful of spinach.
After washing the vegetables, Ye Fan went to the kitchen to cut rice cakes.
In the past, when Dabao and Erbao wanted to eat rice cake leaves, they had to go to the production team to find a member of the community to exchange them. Ever since residents of Yongcheng came to the island to buy food, it seemed as if the food was free of charge. The fishermen tried to make some rice cakes and rice noodles and send them to the vegetable market for consignment. When they find people buying them, fishermen often make some. Ye Fan's family bought their rice cakes this year at the vegetable market.
The wet market not only had rice cakes and rice noodles, but also sausages and bacon, and Ye Fan also bought some. Ye Fan blanched the bacon in hot water, then sliced the bacon and fried rice cakes with the bacon and vegetables. But before frying, Ye Fan first asked Dabao to come in and boil water for spinach and egg soup.
Lunch is a rice cake and a bowl of spinach and egg soup per person. The egg soup was light. Chen Xiaohui and Geng Zhiqin drank it comfortably and whetted their appetites. The green vegetable rice cake was completely eaten.
Seeing this, Ye Fan felt that the rice and noodles at home were not enough for dinner, so he went to the vegetable market in the afternoon.
All the chicken, fish, meat and eggs that were supposed to be bought before the New Year were bought. The director of the wet market expected that business would be poor after the New Year, and there would not be many fishermen going to sea, so there would not be much fresh things in the wet market.
Fortunately, there were also hard-working fishermen who were unwilling to take a break and went out to sea on the second day of the new year to let Ye Fan buy a big fish and a bunch of crabs.
When Ye Fan arrived home, Chen Xiaohui frowned when she saw the fish and crabs: "Are these again?"
Ye Fan immediately wanted to say, if you like it, eat it or not, get lost! However, this person is her mother's daughter. For the sake of Comrade Tao Chunlan, Ye Fan endured and explained patiently: "There was a seafood meeting at the market two years ago. On the third day of the Lunar New Year this year, everyone was busy visiting relatives and friends and had no time to fish. If there was something to eat, just leave it alone. Picked.”
Geng Zhiqin nodded: "The crabs are pretty good."
Chen Xiaohui whispered: "I have never eaten good food."
Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but ask: "What have you eaten?"
Chen Xiaohui was speechless, because after her rebirth in this life, she encountered a shortage of materials. In her previous life, she had no money but had to be strong-willed and refused to eat "food that came to her." She, the daughter of a high-ranking official, lived exactly the same as a common citizen.
Thinking of the past, Chen Xiaohui felt unhappy and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"
Geng Zhiqin has been too lazy to follow her: "This is my brother's house."
"It's also Ye Fan's family."
Geng Zhiqin smiled and nodded: "Geng Zhiye is my brother, and Ye Fan is my sister-in-law. Who are they to you?"
