Chapter 174: Son-in-law who comes to visit, do you want to try to separate the family? (Request full order)
Today’s report revealed that there were no formal courses arranged. Huang Beijia was invited to have lunch to celebrate her receiving a 100-yuan bursary from the county.
But it was still less than ten o'clock, so the Feng family simply invited Huang Beijia, Cha Jianying and the others to play at home.
I bought a house nearby, so I would like to invite everyone over to warm it up.
So with this suggestion, I simply called the others in their dormitory over.
Anyway, it's not far from Yanda. It's less than ten minutes away from the school gate.
Calling Liu Xuehong and the others up, it was also a must to praise Cheng Xuemin, the pioneering factory director, who was on the front page of the People's Daily, and even had an official inscription.
"At that time, it was just because it was convenient for me to go to school. Xuemin wanted to buy a house near the school so that he could be taken care of nearby!"
“While we were on winter vacation, we happened to fall in love with a house, so we bought it and moved in during the Chinese New Year!”
On the way back, Feng Jiayou explained to Liu Xuehong and others that they were going to her house for dinner today.
Liu Xuehong and the others were immediately shocked and dumbfounded again. Jia Xiao and Pioneer Factory Director Qiao were really good at it!
I really bought the house when I said I wanted to!
"Young master, you, you, you... your yard must have at least two entrances, right?"
Not long after arriving at the house, Huang Beijia, who knew the goods, exclaimed without even entering the door.
Huang Beijia and the others knew a little about the houses in Yanjing City.
There are mostly large courtyards in the alleys. The better ones are the one-entry courtyard, the two-entry courtyard, and the three-entry and four-entry courtyards. The higher ones may be the Beizi Palace Courtyard.
Others also have tube buildings for units, apartment buildings, etc., but not many!
Nowadays, most of the people in Yanjing City still live in large courtyards and courtyard houses in Hutongs.
Huang Beijia looked at the front door of Feng's house and could guess at a glance that it had at least two entrances. The other one-entry courtyards and large courtyards were not so grand at all.
"Beijia, is there anything else special about this house?"
After hearing Huang Beijia's words, Zha Jianying and the others looked at her in surprise and asked, but the front door of Feng Jiayou's house in front of them was indeed very impressive.
"Of course there are details!"
Huang Beijia nodded quickly and analyzed with her sisters: "Now most of the houses in Yanjing Imperial City are courtyard houses!"
"Siheyuan is divided into large courtyard, one-entry courtyard, two-entry courtyard, and three-entry and four-entry large courtyard..."
Huang Beijia twirled his fingers and gave Zha Jianying, Liu Xuehong and the others a survey of the houses in the imperial city, most of which were courtyard houses.
"So when I look at the courtyard my parents bought, I guess it should be at least a two-entry large courtyard, right?"
After popularizing it, Huang Beijia looked at the Feng family and his wife in disbelief and asked.
Zha Jianying, Liu Xuehong and the others also looked at the Feng family in surprise. According to Huang Beijia's statement, it was really a two-entry courtyard. How big was it inside?
"It's not as exaggerated as Beijia said!" Huang Beijia's flattering words really made Feng Jiayou very happy, but this time he called them home for dinner, he really didn't mean to show off, so he also explained, " The two-entry type is indeed a two-entry type, but I have a large family, so I can’t live in it unless I buy a bigger one!”
Then he took everyone through the gate together, and the next thing that came into view was the spacious front yard.
Huang Beijia and the others couldn't help but exclaimed and gasped at the yard again. Can this be called a house?
This is simply...
Even the landlords and wealthy families over there may not have as big a yard as the Feng family and the others, so big!
"Hey, my dear, this is an old Chinese toon tree, isn't it? Look, it's already sprouting buds!"
As soon as Zha Jianying came in, after scanning the layout of the yard, he was attracted by the toona tree near the east, and his mouth seemed to be drooling!
"Isn't that true, right Jianying?? Isn't it just an old tree sprouting? What's all the fuss about?"
"Looking at your eyes, do you seem to be greedy?"
Huang Beijia saw that Zha Jianying was so unsatisfied that he was so greedy for an old tree in the yard.
Is it strange that old trees are sprouting?
Isn't it the beginning of spring? The weather is getting warmer and everything is recovering. It's normal for old trees to start sprouting. Isn't it so surprising?
"Beijia, that's an old toon tree! Smell it, doesn't it smell good?"
It is indeed an old tree sprouting, so there is no need to make a fuss, but this is an old toon tree, and the buds are already starting to sprout on the tree.
"Uh! Jianying, don't tell me, this is really delicious!"
Huang Beijia and the others were reminded by this and smelled a faint fragrance of buds in the yard, so they asked: "Jianying, young master, do you have anything to say about this old tree?"
"Hey, it's really starting to sprout?!"
Feng Jiayou also looked over and found that the old toon tree in the east courtyard had actually begun to bud without paying attention overnight!
Smelling the light and fragrant smell of toon, Feng Jiayou could not help but feel ecstatic and said: "You are lucky, our old toon tree happened to be sprouting. No wonder Jianying smelled it as soon as you came in!"
Obviously they are all from the north, and they are all greedy for it!
Cheng Xuemin was also a little surprised, because he knew that the old toon tree was another big surprise when they moved in.
Cheng Xuemin didn't know what kind of tree it was before, but he just thought it was a century-old tree, which was of great significance standing in the yard.
But when Feng Jiayou and his family came in, they found out that it was an old toon tree. They said that there would be toon buds in the spring next year.
Cheng Xuemin was confused at that time. Could it be that the skin of this old tree could still be chewed?
It was also the Feng family who spread the word to him, saying that the toon tree sprouts new buds every spring. For the old Yanjing people, these new buds are a very delicious food, which is rare for the old Yanjing people. Still sitting.
Freshly-smoked sprouts like these are called first sprouts and have the richest aroma. Just boil them with boiling water and mix them with tender tofu and sesame oil. It is a tender, delicious and fragrant dish that is simply a delicacy in the world.
Anyway, the Feng family's feelings for this bite in Chengjiawan are really no less than their yearning for Yanjing roast duck.
At that time, Cheng Xuemin was almost drooling when he said it, and he was also waiting for the old toon tree to sprout this year.
But I didn't expect that the buds would actually start to twitch if I wasn't paying attention.
Don’t say it yet!
It was not obvious just now, but now that Cha Jianying reminded him, Cheng Xuemin instantly felt the aroma pouring into his nose, which was really surprising and intoxicating.
Immediately, everyone was looking forward to the toon buds as Feng Jiayou and Zha Jianying sang together.
Feng Jiayou even told Cheng Xuemin to quickly find something to come over later, knock down the cluster of finger-long buds on the treetop, and add a dish for everyone to try at noon.
Immediately afterwards, the Feng family brought everyone into the front hall for a tour. The most eye-catching thing must be the "Reform Pioneer" frame.
"Xu Xu, this, this, this... is this the original manuscript of the inscription appointed by the emperor?"
Looking at the inscription in the frame, Huang Beijia and the others exclaimed on the spot. They had no idea that Feng Jiayou and his wife would have the original rubbing version of the front page of the People's Daily in their hands.
Now it is hung up in the main hall by the two of them. This is really not too glorious.
Feng Jiayou tried her best to restrain herself from getting carried away, and left all the operations of this slut to her father. Anyway, her father had done the framing himself, and he had hung it himself!
Therefore, everyone who came here to pay New Year greetings this year was all interested in this framed piece, boasting so loudly that even the young Feng family members were tired of hearing it.
"Second sister-in-law, sister, Xiaolian, these are all my classmates. There are no classes at school today. I asked everyone to come over to have some fun and keep warm!"
When buying a new house in Yanjing, there is indeed a saying that inviting relatives and friends to come over to warm the house. The more relatives and friends come over, the warmer and more prosperous the house will be.
"Okay, okay, welcome, everyone!"
Now the family is working, and the other is going to school. There are only three people at home, Feng Jiayou, her second sister-in-law, Cheng Xuemin, his elder sister and cousin, who are preparing for the exam.
When the three of them saw so many guests suddenly arriving at home, they all put down their homework and came out to greet them.
"Hello, second sister-in-law, sister, cousin!"
Huang Beijia and the others also said hello, and then the Feng family whispered and asked their second sister-in-law to help them buy groceries, while their elder sister helped with the cooking.
Usually when they are at home at noon, Cheng Xuemin's sister Cheng Wenxiu usually cooks more of the food, while the second sister-in-law is responsible for buying vegetables and occasionally helps with the cooking.
The cousin is responsible for cleaning up the dishes and pots, Cheng Xuemin is responsible for tutoring them, and the Feng family's young and pregnant mother is taken care of. For the time being, everyone has a clear division of labor.
In the evening, the family did not eat separately. They all ate together in the front yard.
The difference is that in the past, Feng's mother and sister-in-law rushed back from work, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooked together. Now, Feng's mother and sister Cheng Wenxiu cook together, and the sister-in-law can't intervene, freeing them up.
Cheng Xuemin originally wanted to add two pairs of chopsticks to his sister and cousin, as well as his little nephew Qingwa, so they could just have a fire in the backyard and go out separately to save everyone from getting tired of each other.
But the Feng family is young and confused, so how can the family be separated easily?
What does this make my sisters and cousins think? What does her mother think?
Anyway, the Feng family is worried that the separation will make their older sisters and cousins feel uncomfortable. They feel that the Feng family dislikes them and will not let them eat at the main table.
Is she also afraid that her mother will think too much and start living alone before she even gets married?
I didn’t see that her eldest brother and her second brother didn’t dare to separate and live alone. What’s more, now that they live in the front and backyard, the mother and daughter just live alone separately?
In addition, Feng's mother also expressed her position to Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou in private. His sister and his cousin could only have two pairs of chopsticks, so there was no need to open fire separately.
After thinking about it, Cheng Xuemin nodded and left it at that, thinking about paying public food to his mother-in-law and paying everyone's food expenses in the same way!
But the mother-in-law didn't ask for the public food and food expenses, so Cheng Xuemin could only continue as he is now, buying rice and vegetables for his family from time to time.
"No way! Lao Xu, are you really that awesome?"
In the main hall in the backyard, everyone saw the big blackboard in front and the words written on the blackboard. They asked if this was a classroom?
Feng Jiayou and the others’ answers were really classy!
This is the class they arranged for their second sister-in-law, elder sister and cousin. It is also a class for sprinting for this year's college entrance examination.
When they found out that the tutor was still Cheng Xuemin, Huang Beijia and the others were so shocked that they were completely bruised and shocked.
What's going on? !
Is her lover so awesome? Can you help others prepare for the college entrance examination?
But why didn't he take the exam last year?
Is it possible that the little surprise in the next semester of this year is that the Feng family, her lover Lao Xu, and her second sister-in-law and cousin will rush for the college entrance examination together, enter Yenching University together, and enroll in September together?
If this is the case, don’t be too shocking and sensational!
"Didn't I tell you earlier!? I was able to get into Yanda University only because my fellow students helped me catch up on bad exams!"
"If it weren't for him, I might not even be able to pass the Agricultural University!"
The young Feng family has always been arrogant when it comes to their own men. When Huang Beijia saw her, she still didn't believe it, so she reiterated the old story and emphasized how she got into Yan University.
This made Huang Beijia and the others jealous. Then they visited Feng Jiayou's room and were once again amazed by the independent bathroom.
I would like to call this eldest lady Feng Jiayou, she is so good at enjoying it!
Her man dotes on her so much that he even arranges all the luxuries of capitalism.
That bathroom, that big bathtub, lying in it and taking a bath, it's not too beautiful just thinking about it!
Anyway, Huang Beijia and the others are mu la mu la!
Cheng Xuemin did not get involved in the gossip among the women. He climbed up the old Chinese toon tree in the front yard and helped the women shoot toon buds for lunch.
Don’t say it yet!
When I was in the yard just now, I smelled the strong fragrance of toon. Now that I climbed up the tree, the fragrance is really more fragrant.
Cheng Xuemin couldn't hold back, so he picked one and put it in his mouth and bit it. He instantly had the illusion that it melted in his mouth, and the juice burst out as sweet as jelly. The taste was really good.
During lunch, the second sister-in-law was extremely surprised to see toon sprouts. No wonder the youngster had specially told her to buy some pieces of tender tofu.
The second sister-in-law followed and said that when she was shopping for vegetables at the Pigeon Market, she met someone who was selling toona buds. The second sister-in-law also asked casually how to sell them?
When she was told that a pound of meat coupons could be exchanged for half a pound of sprouts, the second sister-in-law was so frightened that she stepped back and shook her head. She couldn't afford it.
Unexpectedly, when I came back this time, I found that my toon tree had also sprouted. My brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin even picked a lot of them, and he was seasoned by his second sister-in-law on the spot!
Toon first sprouts mixed with tender tofu, don’t be too sure!
It's so delicious. No wonder she has been talking about it ever since she moved into this yard, feeling greedy for it.
Before Huang Beijia and the others left, they all reluctantly begged Feng Jiayou. If possible, when the toona buds were officially launched, Feng Jiayou would take some to school to satisfy their craving.
After returning from get off work in the evening, Feng's mother and Feng's father were also attracted by the strong fragrance of the first buds of toon in the yard. They couldn't help but stop in front of the tree and take a second look.
Of course, we have to eat it again in the evening. Feng’s mother even told her that by the weekend, when Chuya should be officially launched, she asked the Feng family to take a trip to Da’an Mountain to take this to their grandparents. .
Feng's mother also said that her grandparents were also greedy for this first bud of toon!
And you can tell that the old toon tree in their yard is at least more than a hundred years old.
The older the tree is, the moister and fragrant the first buds will be!
The Feng family was so angry that they stamped their feet. The trip back and forth took a whole day, and the sister-in-law really didn't want to run away.
It was Feng Jiayou who promised to give her two yuan for running errands, so she reluctantly agreed.
Then at the dinner table, Feng's father mentioned the war in the south. The family was inevitably worried about the second brother Feng Jiacheng, especially the second sister-in-law, who only now knew that she had gone to hide in the room and wipe her tears without eating.
Feng's mother mentioned it to Cheng Xuemin again and asked him to go to the "People's Daily" tomorrow, saying that Lao Qin called them in October and asked her, the mother-in-law, to tell them.
He didn't mention what happened in the past.
When I was in bed with the Feng family, I thought there was nothing else to do. Maybe I just asked Cheng Xuemin to collect the manuscript fee?
After all, the supplement of their People’s Daily issue on the second day of the Lunar New Year reprinted and published four articles by Cheng Xuemin on the entire page.
After all, I need to pay some reprinting fees, right?
Guessing that it was the royalties, Feng Jiayou was also excited, thinking that in addition to the People's Daily, the "Change to Pioneer" single book provided by the Humanities Society also seemed to have no royalties.
I will definitely drop by tomorrow. Cheng Xuemin has a legitimate reason to go by the way. He has drawn three more volumes of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" villain comic book with more than 180 pictures. You can contact Lao Pan from the Humanities Club. Manuscript, settle the royalties!
This is not unknown. After calculation, it seems that I will receive another two thousand royalties tomorrow. I am so happy that the little money fan Feng Jiayou is getting more and more excited and eats Cheng Xuemin for a while. It feels good!
……
Asking for a monthly ticket!
