First, it was Aunt Zhang, then it was Aunt Liu, and then there were also a few children. Li Wenlong's house, which could originally be considered spacious, became crowded, but Kong Jiayi was calm and collected, and under Li Wenlong's introductions, "Auntie, auntie, auntie …" The smile on Li Wenlong's mother's face became even brighter. The girlfriend her son brought back was sensible, she, the future mother-in-law's face, also lit up!
"Come, come, everyone eat some sweets. Wen Long's father bought this in the provincial capital. It's great!" Li Wenlong's mother took the bag that Li Wenlong's father passed to her and started to sprinkle candy on it.
Since they were from the provincial capital and were from Sweet 'n' Sour Rice Cracker, everyone couldn't wait to take a piece and stuff it into their mouths. They didn't know if they would eat it or not, but the moment they started chewing, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
The rest of the people only frowned and stopped chewing. However, she directly spat onto the ground, and angrily glared at Li Wenlong's father as she roared: "Old Li, what are you trying to say? This was supposed to be a good day for you. You want to poison us to death? "
Li Wenlong's mother did not need to be angry, there was no other choice. There was such an important guest at home, and yet there was someone trying to embarrass her. She could not take this lying down.
"Try it yourself. If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. You even bought it from the provincial capital. You probably picked it up by the side of the road!" Being ridiculed in front of everyone, Aunt Zhang was not a person to be trifled with, so she directly peeled a piece of candy and stuffed it into Li Wenlong's mother's mouth.
"Puff …" Just as he stuffed it into his mouth, Li Wenlong's mother felt a bitter and sour taste touch the tip of her tongue. The taste was not any better than the taste of poison.
After personally experiencing it, Li Wenlong's mother knew that she had wronged others. "He, Aunt Zhang, is truly sorry.
"Tell me, what's going on?" She had been married for more than twenty years, and this was the first time she did not give face to Li Wenlong's father in front of an outsider.
"This, I …" "That …" Li Wenlong's father was so timid that she couldn't even say a word, as she curled up in the corner like a child who had done something wrong.
"Mom, don't worry, I just happen to have a bag of sugar in my car. I'll go get it right away. Aunts, sorry, I'm really sorry." Li Wenlong apologized and ran over to the carriage and took the bag of candy that the trunk gave him a few days ago when he helped someone else get married.
This time, he was careful. After he tried to see if there was anything wrong, he decided to split the attention among the others.
With the incident in the middle, everyone sat for a while before taking their leave. When everyone left, Li Wenlong's mother immediately flew into a rage: "Damned old man, tell me honestly, what is going on?"
"Yeah, dad, what's going on? Were you tricked by someone? If that's really the case, then let's go find him." Li Wenlong also did not understand how the candy that was packed so well could be broken. Furthermore, the date on the bag showed that it was fine!
"Sigh …" Li Wenlong's father let out a long sigh. "People say that being greedy for small things makes one suffer. Before, I didn't believe it, but this time, I have completely believed it."
"This is what happened …" Li Wenlong's father told him the whole story.
It turned out that after receiving Li Wenlong's mother's call that she was going to get married, a candy seller happened to be on the construction site, and a loudspeaker shouted loudly, "Because of some other sounds, the authentic candy brand is being sold off. Previously, it was fifty yuan per bag, but now, it's ten yuan per bag.
Sometimes, the price would be a bit cheaper than other places, but the quality was nothing to worry about. Some workers who did not smoke normally would sometimes go all out to buy some seeds or something like that, but Li Wenlong's father did not smoke, but he never bought any seeds, it was not that she did not want to buy them, it was just that he felt that she did not have these conditions. Two children, one was waiting for marriage, the other was still attending university, these were all for money.
But this time, Li Wenlong's father became generous, and the main reason was because she heard that Li Wenlong was going to get married.
"Boss, my child will be having a happy occasion for a few days. I'll buy a few more bags from you, let's make it cheaper," Li Wenlong's father began to haggle with him.
"Big brother, I've already sold it at a loss. If I didn't change my business, I wouldn't have sold it this way no matter what. Look, this is a golden monkey, it's authentic, and it's still far from maturity!" The candy seller wore a pained expression, as if each bag he sold was a piece of meat cut into his body.
"I'll buy a few more bags from you, cheaper," said Li Wenlong's father as he took a look at the bags. His heart skipped a beat.
"Fifty yuan, six bags. If I may, I'll buy you fifty yuan," Li Wenlong's father said cruelly.
"Big brother, you're slicing my flesh," the boss said as he quickly grabbed five bags and muttered, "Big brother, for the sake of your family's wedding, I'm willing to sacrifice everything so that you can get a big fat grandson next year."
Li Wenlong's father happily handed over the money and left. Seeing that there was such a good thing to do, the workers who did not smoke immediately surrounded him: "Give me 50 yuan, give me 3 bags, give me … …"
"The guarantee date on the bag is fake, it's really here. I really did code it, this code is fake," Kong Jiayi took the bag and pointed at two places on it as he spoke to Li Wenlong and the other two.
"Of course," Li Wenlong suddenly realised after she saw it, "March 2010. It's already been several months since the deadline. This person really isn't anything special. She can even do such a wicked thing."
In fact, Li Wenlong did not know that, compared to other people, his family was considered to be more fortunate. There were some poorer than his family, his children had never eaten this candy, but after their father brought them home, they thought that their family had originally eaten this candy, and each of them had eaten the sweetness of honey. Who would have thought that after eating them for a few hours, they would vomit and diarrhea, and similarly, the laborers who did not smoke at the construction site would be sent to the hospital in just ten minutes.
The same thing happened at other construction sites in the provincial capital. This event attracted the attention of the relevant departments and leaders in the provincial capital. After several interviews and investigations, they finally caught the hateful candy seller and gave him a severe punishment. At the same time, those who were poisoned due to eating these candies were given free treatment by the provincial government.
The relevant leaders said at the meeting, "Civil labourers are the builders and founders of our beautiful city. We must attach great importance to their lives, medical treatment and safety. In short, we must create a good environment for them to build …"
Under the guidance of the provincial health system, the relevant team searched the small restaurants, food stores and other food stores where the laborers were located. They had found some outlaws. In other words, these laborers were blessed by their misfortune!
Of course, this will be in the future. Right now, we should still return to Li Wenlong's home.
However, at this time, Li Wenlong's mother showed a considerable magnanimity once again, "If you eat something, you grow wise. Just treat it as spending money to buy a lesson, and you don't have to do it anymore. Don't keep on thinking about this matter, our priority right now is to arrange for Wen Long's marriage."
"Auntie, you don't need to prepare anything. You just need to prepare some dishes." Seeing that the old lady wanted to take care of the whole thing, Kong Jiayi quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Auntie, don't tidy up the room, just make a few blankets for me, it has to be big." Ever since she was young, she had always slept on the kind of quilt she bought, to the point that she dreamed of sleeping on the quilt she made. Even when she was in university, she had even specially paid for the quilts for the rural students who sleep with her.
"Alright, make something big." The old lady heard that Kong Jiayi agreed with her suggestion, and laughed while clenching her lips, "All of you youngsters nowadays like big beds, so I'll make you two meters."
Kong Jiayi laughed and clapped her hands as she closed her eyes, fantasizing in her heart. In the winter when the north wind was whooshing, lying on the big bed with a warm and comfortable blanket over him, what kind of comfort would that be?!
"Old man, hurry up and prepare our things. Look at what time it is!" The old lady pointed to the chicken coop in the corner of the yard.
"Auntie, don't, don't kill them." When he heard that she wanted to kill the chicken to cook the soup for him, Kong Jiayi immediately went forward to stop her. She was a vegetarian to begin with, and could not bear to kill anyone else.
"How can we do that? This is your first time here. " The old lady did not explain further, directing the old man towards the chicken coop.
"Auntie, is this okay?" Kong Jiayi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the old lady back. "Don't kill them, let them lay eggs for us to eat. I like eating eggs the most."
"Mom, don't kill him. Just go to our garden and pick some vegetables." Li Wenlong knew that all the girls nowadays liked to be beautiful, so they didn't eat much meat.
"Alright, it's settled then." The old lady could only give up after hearing what her son had said. Actually, she also didn't want to kill the chickens, as the chickens had given her quite a few eggs. "You guys sit down, I'll go to the garden to pick some vegetables."
"Auntie, I'll go with you." Kong Jiayi stepped forward and held the old lady's arm, looking as intimate as a mother and daughter.
The old lady was delighted when she saw this, [Why is this girl so sensible?]
Taking advantage of this time, Li Wenlong told her father some of the things that she needed to do. In reality, it was mainly to send out wedding invitations to her relatives.
"Now that it's all over the market, the restaurant isn't far from our place. How about we go there too?" Li Wenlong remembered about arranging the banquet.
