Chapter 269 Old Man Yan
"Indeed, there were too many people, and we all made a detour. In such a cold weather, it was really hard to stand in line there, and I don't know how many people came back disappointed."
"Old man, I didn't see it, you still care about people's livelihood."
"What do you mean by caring about people's livelihood? It's worrying that there will be a lot of cold patients in the hospital tomorrow. Right now, there is a shortage of everything, and medicines are also very short. Forget it, these shouldn't be your child's concern.
Tomorrow for Chinese New Year, we can take a week off, your mother is also a week. When your mother returns to her mother's house on the second day of junior high, we all go together. We have to deliver food to her. "
Li Xiaoyu glanced at Li's father, saw that his face was calm and did not make any waves, and knew that he had completely let go.
"Old man, are you all right?"
Father Li smiled and patted his little daughter's head, and said to her, "What can I have? Everything is developing for the better. In a few years, I don't even need to worry about you. Some people and things will be in the past. , will never go back."
New Year, there is one less person in the family, it is no different, the family also accepts Li Xiaoyan's marriage.
The smell of meat wafts out from the sky over the whole county, which also adds a touch of Chinese New Year atmosphere. Children have smiles on their faces, and eating meat is their greatest wish.
Li Xiaoyu's family took advantage of the opportunity that the whole county was eating meat, and also put all kinds of meat and fruits in her space at home. The family also came to a roast whole lamb in the backyard, and the fragrance wafted all over the street, and it also attracted the Ren Chun family next door.
The Yan family, who lived in the first home in Jiekou, the old man Yan Xuezhen, had a wealthy family since he was a child, and later fell into the middle of the family. Moving from a big city to this small county town is also a wealthy person for the people from the small county town.
Only Mr. Yan and a middle-aged couple lived at home. No one else had seen anyone else. They all guessed that the old man was a widowed old man without children, and no one knew his true information. But love to eat and can eat, many people know.
Since he was a child, he has been wearing brocade clothes and jade food. In the past two years, due to the lack of materials, Mr. Yan can only take the second place. It is not easy to eat pork. If you want to eat some meat or something on weekdays, you have to replace it with good things.
I have finished eating the pork I changed a few times before, and now I smell the smell of roast lamb, and the drool in my mouth is uncontrollable.
Yan's yard is twice the size of Li's yard, and the room is more refined and spacious, basically retaining the original shape of the house. Mr. Yan had a ruddy complexion and a slightly chubby figure. He walked back and forth in the yard constantly, sniffing the fragrance in the air from time to time, and taking a sip of saliva.
Uncle Fu watched the corners of his mouth twitching. He was in his 70s, and he still liked to eat. If he ate it, his family would be eaten up. well!
"Xiao Fu, go to my room and bring me that green jade pendant."
"Master, if you go on like this, you'll have to replace everything. What will you do in the future?"
"I'm already old, how many days can I live, and who can I give to the family business? If I can't eat it when I can, when will I eat it?"
The two old men followed the fragrance and found the back door of Li's house. Old Man Yan motioned for Uncle Fu to knock on the door.
"Knock Knock Knock!"
The group of people who heard the knock on the door looked a little nervous and looked at each other. Li Weiguo stood up and said, "Don't move, let me see who it is?"
Li Weiguo stood behind the door and asked softly, "Who?"
"Jiekou Yan's house!"
Li Weiguo turned around and pointed to the crowd at the intersection of the street and told them that it was the Yan family. The crowd looked inexplicable and didn't know what he was talking about.
Ren Chun explained: "He was talking about the Yan family at Jiekou."
Oh, that's right, everyone understands it, as expected of a husband and wife, everyone understands Ren Chun with a playful look.
Li Weiguo opened the door: "Master Yan, please come inside Uncle Fu!"
"Excuse me, Li Xiaozi!"
Li Xiaoyu's family never thought that Mr. Yan would come from home.
The two families do not deal with people often. After the Li family moved in, they were not familiar with the surrounding neighbors, and everyone could not have enough to eat. But he has food and drink at home, so Grandpa Li rarely interacts with others.
But I have heard of the Yan family for a long time, because of the reputation of Mr. Yan's delicious food, he is very famous in this area, and it can be said that everyone knows it.
Li Xiaoyu knew that this was an opportunity. This old man never eats people's things for nothing, and he will definitely exchange for good things. How can you not do this door-to-door business?
"Grandpa Yan, Uncle Fu, please take a seat!"
Li Xiaoyu showed great enthusiasm to the two of them, poured tea on a stool, and performed a quick-blade roast lamb by himself.
After eating and drinking, Old Man Yan slowly ate the pears cut by Uncle Fu with a smile in his eyes. Xindao really is not ordinary people, even the high-priced fruits that only appear in the black market.
Mr. Yan patted his stomach contentedly, took out a jade pendant from his body, and put it in Li Xiaoyu's hand.
"Little girl, for you to play! Your tea is delicious!"
Li Xiaoyu glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, the green apple-like emerald color, its tone was light and bright, the emerald color was slightly less saturated, and the color had a slight yellow flavor in the sunlight.
A roast lamb for a piece of apple green jade pendant is really a bargain.
"Master, you are an expert! Welcome to my grandpa for tea when you are free!"
Old Man Yan, who got a satisfactory answer, got up to say goodbye to everyone, and everyone got up to send them off, but he stopped him.
"I'm disturbing everyone's elegance, see you again, see you again!" He walked slowly towards the front yard with a belly out, and saw that the surrounding area of Li's yard was surrounded by mud, and sparse wild vegetables could be seen inside.
His eyes are full of smiles. This Li family is really an interesting family. There is a special family living in an unremarkable yard. The food and drink at home is beyond what ordinary people can do. There will be a place to eat in the future.
Everyone was full and sat in the courtyard chatting. Ren Chun asked Li Ma: "Fourth aunt, do you want to go back to Xiao Yu'er's grandma's house in the second day of the first year?"
"Yes, the plan is to go back that day to see the old man, but Xiaoyan will come back in the second year of junior high. Brother Yan, what do you say?"
Father Li thought of going to Yue's house and his uncle's house to deliver food, and he also wanted to go back to Banzhulin. To do these things, he had to carry people behind his back, and he could not avoid traveling at night. If Li Ma was with her, she would definitely not be able to keep up.
"You stay at home and wait for Xiaoyan to come back in the second year of junior high school. I will take the second child and Xiaoyuer back. After that, I have to go back to Banzhulin to see the second brother's family."
Li Ma said hesitantly, "But I also want to go back and see Ma and the others."
"This is the first time the eldest eldest son has returned to his parents' house. If he is no longer a mother, it will not sound good. This time, I will bring my father-in-law and mother-in-law over and let them live at home for a while."
Li Ma thought about it and finally agreed.
