Chapter 713: Meeting Love Again
He thought for a while and said: "Jiayi and Liu Yang are staying in Quanzhou, and the uncle has arranged an errand for them.
“I don’t know the details. I will definitely tell grandma when my uncle comes back.”
Mrs. Li was peeling a banana to eat, but she didn’t notice anything wrong with her grandson’s expression.
She nodded, put the banana into her grandson’s hand, smiled and said, “Come, try this fruit called banana.
“Lao Hei and the others brought it back from Yunzhou Prefecture. It’s very soft and sweet. Your sister planted it in the greenhouse and it actually came alive. She can cut off a big bunch every time!”
Actually, Quanzhou Prefecture also has this kind of banana, and Jiaren had already eaten it when he went there this time.
Originally, I wanted to transport some back, but these things were afraid of being bumped and were not durable for storage. They couldn't hold on for five or six days and turned black and rotten.
Unexpectedly, after returning home a thousand miles away, he would eat it again.
He followed his grandmother's words and praised her a few times, which indeed made the old lady even happier.
When it got dark, the old and young ladies ate a simple bowl of shredded pork noodles and went to the backyard to rest.
The front yard immediately became a paradise for the boys, and they just happened to have eaten, so they plunged into the hot spring pool in the wing room, took a bath, had a water fight, and almost overturned the roof of the house with laughter.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu experienced the joy of hot spring bathing again!
It’s true as Brother Mao said, although the Li family is not a big house, the food and accommodation are first-class and comfortable.
They were really reluctant to say goodbye...
But after dinner the next morning, they took the Li family's carriage back to the city.
Jia Xu is going home to meet his parents and elders.
Lu Zong also has a house in the city. He plans to write more about his experiences in Quanzhou and then send it back to his father to read. It will also be regarded as the "year-end summary" he handed in after being away from home for so long...
Jiaren originally wanted to see them off, but both of them refused.
The Li family is finally reunited, so it would be good to get closer to each other for a while.
Brother Mao and Brother Li haven’t been back for a long time, looking at everything in the village.
So the two took their younger sister and older brother to play.
At this time of year, the mountains are covered with snow, making it impossible to climb up.
The only place where you can walk is the hot spring valley.
Watching the snow while soaking in hot springs is an elegant thing that many people inside and outside Xindu admire, so since the snow fell, the hot spring valley has been overcrowded.
The village was afraid of problems, so it directly stopped all individual visitors and only received scheduled guests every day.
In this way, knowing the specific number of people and men and women will make arrangements and care easier.
Especially here in the kitchen, a small casserole stew is newly introduced.
Put a casserole on the charcoal stove, put chicken mushrooms, sauerkraut and frozen tofu, or shredded radish meatballs, etc., and stew until it is steaming. Pair it with a bowl of white rice, a bowl of fat and thin meat, and a plate. Pickles are the most standard set meal.
With only a few hundred pennies, guests can have a warm meal.
Although Suijintan earns a lot of money every year from growing melons and fruits.
But the Hot Spring Valley is still the main way for the village to store food, and the money coming in is also a steady stream, and a little adds up to a lot...
Jiaren and his younger siblings played in the valley for more than half an hour, then he carried his younger sister and younger brothers back home.
When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a carriage parked in front of their house from a distance.
The brothers and sisters walked over, and before asking, the car door opened, and a girl in a blue dress was about to get out of the car.
Possibly, she didn't expect there was someone outside, so she was startled, her feet slipped slightly, and she fell down.
Jiaren quickly took two steps forward and stretched out his arm.
The girl was anxious and grabbed his arm, finally landing him firmly on the ground.
Then, another boy jumped out of the carriage and shouted: "Sister, are you okay, but your foot is sprained?" The girl quickly shook her head, and then brought her younger brother and her family members to see her.
The girl is none other than Xing Waner.
Their family prepared a New Year gift for the Li family. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still sunny today, she took her brother over for a walk.
Unexpectedly, she saw Jiaren as soon as she got off the car.
Remembering the tacit understanding between the two families about the marriage contract, she was shy and lost her sense of proportion, and made a fool of herself again...
Xing Wan'er's face turned red and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She has the best rules on weekdays, her manners are dignified, and she never makes any mistakes.
But in front of Jiaren, he made mistakes one after another...
Brother Li and Brother Mao had also heard of this girl from the Xing family. Seeing her and her eldest brother standing together, both of them blushing and being polite to each other, they couldn't help but wink and make faces, laughing. No.
Similarly, Xing Ning was also looking at Jiaren, his future brother-in-law.
He wanted to find something wrong to prove that Jiaren was not worthy of his sister, so that his sister would not have to get married!
Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a while, he felt a little discouraged.
Jiaren has a tall and straight figure, handsome appearance, pure eyes, and gentle manner...
Such a young master is worthy of his sister. In fact...it's barely enough.
Jiayin had jumped off her brother's back a long time ago. Seeing the little pink heart between sister Wan and her brother, she really couldn't bear to disturb her.
But this is the doorway to the house, and it cannot be blocked all the time.
She ran over, held Wan'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Wan'er, why did you come here? I miss you!"
“Last time, did you forget the veil you promised to give me? I’m so sad!”
"No, no." Wan'er responded quickly, straightened the crooked cloak for Jiayin, and said with a smile: "Of course I will remember it. I have embroidered four handkerchiefs for you in the past few days and will give them to you later."
"Okay, okay!" Jiayin smiled happily, pulled Wan'er inside, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, sister Wan'er is here!"
Brother Li and Brother Mao also pulled Xing Ning from left to right and walked in. They asked him what snacks he liked to eat and what he liked to play with. They tried to help their brother get rid of this brother-in-law as soon as possible!
Mrs. Li heard the commotion and came out of the house. When she saw her eldest grandson and Wan'er coming in from the door together, she was so happy that she quickly called them into the house to warm up.
Zhao Yuru has never met Wan'er, but she also knows that this future eldest grandson's daughter-in-law is loved by everyone in the family.
So she also put down her work and joined her mother-in-law in entertaining.
Wan'er brought her younger brother to salute the elders, dignified and calmly, and presented them with all the New Year gifts prepared by the family.
Finally, she took out the needle and thread she had made.
In addition to a set of clothes and shoes for Doctor Zhang, Mrs. Li also got a homely jacket.
Although the material is not expensive satin, it is the softest and most comfortable fine cotton. The stitches are fine and flat, embroidered with flowers, and it fits perfectly.
Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear and kept praising her, "Wan'er is really good at her craftsmanship. It just so happened that Wenjuan just sewed a mink fur hat for me, so we can dress it up together during the Chinese New Year.
“Haha, I am the happiest old lady in our village.”
Wenjuan sat on the side with a bulging belly, hearing that her grandma liked her future sister-in-law but had not forgotten her, which made her feel really happy and happy.
Zhao Yuru also smiled and said: "Yes, mother. I can be lazy from now on, these children are really more skillful than the other!"
“Oh, that can’t be done!” Mrs. Li grabbed her daughter-in-law’s hand and said, “They sew clothes, but you can make shoes. The shoes you make will fit the best!”
Zhao Yuru sighed, pretending to be distressed, and said, "Oh, it's not easy to be lazy. My mother-in-law is so shrewd."
"Huh, you didn't know until it was too late!" Old Mrs. Li pinched her waist proudly, "How many years have you been here since you came here, and you are already having a grandchild in your arms, and you still want to run away at this time, no way!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the room was very lively for a while.
