Chapter 261 There is a kind of compensation, which makes the mother-in-law feel that you need compensation.
“Didn’t I agree not to bring anything with me? Why did I bring so many things here?”
Looking at Zhang An moving the things he brought out of the carriage, the ground was shaking. There are a lot of them.
Other people’s mother-in-law is eager to vacate the whole house when her daughter and son-in-law go there.
When I arrived at Wu Qiuping's place, I simply hoped that my daughter and son-in-law would stop bringing anything to them.
The couple's wages are not low, their family conditions are not bad, and they have no shortage of these things.
After all, we are a dual-income family, otherwise we would not be able to support two college students.
On weekdays, both she and Su Shaowen would be given some benefits at work.
Although Su Ying’s eldest sister Su Xuan’s family is far away in the provincial capital.
But every time there is a festival, Chen Ze will help deliver something to their home.
Later, when Zhang An and Su Ying became friends, they would deliver goods to them every three days.
So they have a lot of stuff at home and almost no room to put it.
So Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen had no idea about this aspect for a long time, and they didn't pay much attention to it.
They would be very happy if they could bring some back from home.
"Mom, there's not much left. If you hadn't agreed on the phone, there would probably be more."
Zhang An had seen it before going out, Wang Fang I have prepared a lot of things this time.
In the past, before Su Ying came over, Wang Fang would prepare a lot of things every time Zhang An came over, all of which were local specialties from home.
What’s more, this is the day when her daughter-in-law comes home, so Wang Fang is even more prepared.
If Wu Qiuping hadn't chatted with her for a long time on the phone in the morning, Zhang An might not have enough space in the carriage this time.
"Don't listen to your mother next time. Your father and I are busy at work every day, and it would be a waste to just bring it home and leave it alone."
"I can't make the decision. She is my mother and you are my mother. I dare not disobey anyone else's words." Zhang An said with a smile.
Both sides are mothers, and Zhang An is sandwiched in the middle. As a son and son-in-law, he will naturally not get into trouble.
"Hey, where's my dad? Isn't he at home?"
When she got home and didn't see Su Shaowen, Su Ying asked.
"He is downstairs at the back. He is probably chatting with Uncle Li and others in the pavilion at the moment."
Wu Qiuping walked to the kitchen and went upstairs from the window He pointed to the pavilion below.
Zhang An walked over and saw that several old men were chatting in the small pavilion.
In the crowd, there were two people holding a gold birdcage, which was the target of their discussion.
Zhang An has good eyesight. Even though he is looking down from upstairs, he can still see things inside.
Two gold cages, one with two canaries and the other with a pair of thrushes.
Judging from their age, these uncles should all be retired workers.
And the conditions at home are not bad, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live such a leisurely life walking around with birds.
"Mom, does my dad also like to play with birds?"
Su Shaowen is downstairs at the moment, chatting with the old man who raises canaries, while playing with the birdcage. Canary inside.
"I like it, why don't I like it? Last time I said I was going to get a pair to keep at home."
When Wu Qiuping said this, she also looked helpless.
"He doesn't even think about it. He has to be busy at work every day, so how can he have time to feed that delicate thing."
"Uncle Li is retired and has nothing to do every day. , so I keep a bird to pass the time."
"It's better for him to take the class every day, and he still wants to have nothing."
Wu Qiuping said, looking through the window. There were a few shouts from downstairs.
Soon Su Shaowen's response came from downstairs, and he came back from downstairs.
"Xiao An Xiaoying, when did you come?"
Back home, Su Shaowen smiled and talked to his daughter and son-in-law.
"Dad, we have just arrived. Do you also like to tease birds?" Zhang An said with a smile.
Su Shaowen said: "Hey, what do you like or dislike? It's just that it's fun to see them playing around, and the birds are pretty, so I'll just join in the fun."
"Dad, you If you like them, I will go to the mountains to get a pair for you. They will definitely look better than those canaries."
Zhang An thought, if his father-in-law likes them, then he will go to the mountains and get a pair for you. .
There are not many things in the mountains, but there are many wild birds, good-looking ones and bad ones, everywhere.
When the time comes, I will catch a litter of good-looking ones and put them in the space to breed for a period of time.
There is no problem in getting a pair of family items for my father-in-law.
"Xiao An, please don't bother me. He is busy at work every day. When the time comes and he has no more to feed, he will commit evil."
When Wu Qiuping heard that her son-in-law was going to catch wild sparrows in the mountains for the old man, Wu Qiuping He quickly spoke.
She didn't want her little son-in-law, who was like her biological son, to go into the mountains and get hurt.
Besides, why do people who have no time to raise sparrows? If they are raised to death, it is a great sin.
"Yes, Xiao An, don't worry about this. We work every day, and we won't be able to raise him well even if we catch him."
When Su Shaowen first listened to Zhang An's words, there was a look on his face. Still full of excitement.
But after Wu Qiuping in the kitchen spoke, he followed suit.
Su Shaowen really wanted to raise a couple like Lao Li, but his old wife said it was fine. She was busy going to work every day, so where could she find the time and energy to care for herself?
"Hey dad, what's the trouble? There are no birds in our mountains, even an eagle, I will get it for you."
Speaking of eagles, Zhang An remembered Those little guys upstairs in my house.
"By the way, Dad, I have three goshawks left upstairs, all of which are flower-headed cubs. If you like it, I will bring one over to you."
The uncle Li who was downstairs just now, Holding the canary was envied by everyone in the pavilion.
Even the man who raises thrushes is a little inferior.
If I really get a goshawk for my father-in-law, it seems not impossible.
While others are walking birds, Su Shaowen is walking an eagle. It can be said that no one can rival him in the limelight.
Listening to his son-in-law talking about goshawks, Su Shaowen remembered that his son-in-law was a falconer.
Just now when Zhang An said he would get one for him, Su Shaowen was lying when he said he was not interested.
No matter who it is, even an old man in his sixties or seventies, who doesn’t want to personally raise an eagle soaring in the sky.
"Xiao An, Goshawk is too hot-tempered. I'm afraid I can't keep him here."
Heart-beating, Su Shaowen rationally refused.
Although if he just opened his mouth, Zhang An would definitely get it for him.
But Su Shaowen knew in his heart that he was not Zhang An and could not feed the eagle a little, but he still had this self-knowledge.
"Hey, dad, don't worry, I've trained those eagle cubs, you just need to feed them every day."
Although they are goshawks, those little eagles are Eagle cubs are much closer to people than their parents.
And during this period of time, Zhang An often trained them.
"No need, Xiao An, this compound is not as spacious as your house, so it is not suitable for raising an eagle."
This city is no better than the countryside. If you raise an eagle here, it will just be After flying out for a while, he might be beaten by someone.
As the time approached noon, Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were in the kitchen preparing to pack lunch.
Zhang An stood up and went in to help, but was pushed out by Wu Qiuping. He said that it was the first time for his new uncle to come to the house, and he was not willing to let him do anything.
Because there would be a lot of fumes from cooking later, I asked Su Ying to take Zhang An to the room to play.
Su Ying's room looks completely different now than before.
The bed where Su Ying slept was gone and replaced with a double bed.
Now the bed was replaced by Wu Qiuping with a brand new red four-piece bed set.
This seems to have been made recently, specially prepared for Zhang An and his wife when they return home.
Zhang An came here before, and to avoid some taboos, he had to live next door.
But it’s different now. Zhang An and Su Ying are married, and he is now the uncle of the Su family.
Coming back now is just like going home. There is no need to sleep in a separate room with Su Ying.
By noon, Wu Qiuping had already packed her lunch.
It’s just that Zhang An was stunned when he saw the food on the dinner table.
Because there are kidneys, okra, turtle soup and a bunch of other dishes on the table that I haven't seen before.
Zhang An couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, it seems that Wu Qiuping specially prepared this for his son-in-law.
Actually, Zhang An was right. Wu Qiuping went to the farmer's market to buy these things early in the morning.
The last old turtle was not bought specifically, but today she went to the farmer's market and saw someone selling it, so she bought it together and stewed it.
Although Wu Qiuping already has a grandson, her eldest daughter’s family is far away in the provincial capital.
It is not easy for the old couple to see their grandson, and they have long been complaining.
So under this situation, Wu Qiuping targeted Su Ying and Zhang An.
After all, Changqing is not far from the city. After having a grandson, even the young couple will not go back to the city often.
When she and Su Shaowen miss their grandson, they can go to the countryside to visit them at any time, which is much more convenient than in the provincial capital.
So Wu Qiuping’s biggest hope now is that Zhang An and Su Ying can allow them to have their grandson as soon as possible.
For this reason, when Zhang An and Su Ying returned home today, she was very well prepared.
At the dinner table, Wu Qiuping kept picking up vegetables for Zhang An, either leeks or kidneys.
Or give him a bowl of turtle soup, and Zhang An can't refuse.
There is a kind of supplement that your mother-in-law thinks you need.
After finishing the meal, Zhang An didn't touch any of the dishes. He just finished eating the dishes his mother-in-law gave him, and his stomach was already a little full.
Most of the whole bowl of turtle soup went into his stomach. If he hadn't stopped drinking because he couldn't drink it, Wu Qiuping would have continued to serve it to him.
It wasn’t until she saw Zhang An finished eating that Wu Qiuping showed a look of satisfaction on her face.
Zhang An was very lucky at this moment. Fortunately, he didn't bring the old turtle in the space with him this time.
If he brought it over, his mother-in-law would definitely stew him on the spot and have to replenish it.
With Ding's mouthful of God of War No. 1, which has magical special effects, if Zhang An drinks it, he will not be able to go out today.
Even if you are at your mother-in-law's house, you will probably have to work hard all day today.
But fortunately, although this old turtle soup has some effect, it is not much. Zhang An can still control it.
In the afternoon, Zhang An was originally going to accompany Su Ying to visit relatives, that is, the homes of Su Ying's uncles.
But today is a working day, and Su Ying's uncles and aunts are all busy at work.
Even their children are in school, so there is no need to come to the door deliberately.
So I only need to go to Su Ying's grandparents and visit the two old people, which saves a lot of things.
Su Ying’s grandparents do not live in the city, but still live in Su Ying’s original hometown.
But the village is not far away. It is just on the edge of the county seat. It can be regarded as a suburb.
In a few years, that place will be expanded into the city.
Zhang An and Su Ying packed their things and drove to Su Ying's grandparents' house not long after they drove out.
"Grandpa and grandma, let's come here."
Entering the yard, Su Ying shouted, and Zhang An also followed Su Ying and shouted.
Su Ying’s grandma was wearing a pair of reading glasses and was mending clothes with needle and thread.
Su Ying's grandfather is currently lying under the grape trellis in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Seeing Su Ying and Zhang An arriving, the old lady immediately took off her glasses and put down her work.
The old man also got up from the recliner and took Su Ying to sit under the grape trellis to talk.
"Grandpa, how do you feel about lying on this chair?"
Zhang An is familiar with this recliner because he made it himself.
He made several pictures at home before and sent them not only to Mr. Zhang’s and Mr. Zhang’s homes.
Even Su Ying’s grandparents brought two sheets and a bowl of water.
"This chair is well made. It's comfortable to lie on and doesn't make any noise. The ones you buy on the street may not be as good as yours, Xiao An."
Mr. Su is very fond of his two grandsons-in-law. Satisfied, but the one who is most satisfied is Zhang An.
Because the old man is also from the countryside. He worked hard all his life to make his sons stand out.
So I still feel a sense of intimacy in my heart towards Zhang An, a rural person.
Especially when Su Ying said that Zhang An, who trained dogs, reindeer and eagles, was completely from the mountains.
The family not only has an orchard, but also a fish pond. His old man can talk about all these things.
So every time we sit together with Zhang An, the old man and the young man are all talking and laughing. Zhang An can make the old man happy every time.
As for Chen Cheng, the eldest son-in-law, the two families are not in the same circle.
Furthermore, due to work reasons, Chen Cheng didn't visit him often, so Mr. Su couldn't say he was familiar with him, so naturally he couldn't talk to him.
"Grandpa, this is the Gastrodia wine we brought you. You should have finished the last time we brought it. Please bring it here to refill it this time."
With that said, Zhang An and Su Ying took down the Polygonatum sibiricum, honey and Gastrodia elata wine brought from the car, as well as a few snake fish.
If his two grandfathers had a copy of these things, Zhang An would naturally give a copy to Su Ying's grandparents.
"This is good. Your grandma was too careful not to finish the drink she brought last time, but there isn't much left."
Seeing a jar of ten kilograms of Gastrodia wine, Su The old man's face lit up with joy.
When Zhang An gave him a jar of Gastrodia wine before, he thought it was the bulk product sold on the street.
But after drinking for a while, he discovered the strangeness of this thing.
Because during this period he went to the hospital for a physical examination, and both blood and other aspects were much normal than before.
And he can clearly feel that this body is much stronger than before.
He used to start panting after just a few steps, but now he walks much more easily.
The old man took the wine jar home and put it away like a treasure, and then came out with a pair of scissors.
Cut a few bunches of fresh grapes from the grape trellis, wash them and give them to Zhang An and Su Ying to taste.
The old man’s grapes are a local late-ripening variety, and there are still many of them hanging on the shelves in the past two days.
Although this grape is not as good as Li Hongbin’s giant grape in terms of taste, sweetness or size.
But among local grapes, they are already relatively large and delicious.
