Please remember our website address:

The county town is not small, but it is not big either. Hehua has never gone to the city to buy vegetables. After a while, it seems that in this season, only Sun's shop sells fresh fruits and vegetables. e3

She had been to this shop with Sun Jianyu before, so she didn't want to go in now. After asking passers-by, it turns out that only Sun's shop sells products grown in greenhouses. She had no choice but to go in and thought to herself: Her clothes and hair were different from that day, so she probably wouldn't be recognized by anyone. As soon as she walked to the door, the waiter said, "This is not the second girl of the Zhu family. Please come in quickly. My brother, please come to the city." Yet? If you want some, come in and have a look, and I'll call the shopkeeper for you! "

Before He Hua had time to stop him, the waiter rushed in like a gust of wind Chapter 221 The Jiang family discussed the marriage and told the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper, the second girl of the Zhu family who came with our brother last time, this time I'll be in the shop soon! "

The shopkeeper quickly got up and said, "Send someone to deliver a message to my brother. I'll go out and say hello." "As he said this, he shook his clothes and stepped outside.

He Hua hurriedly said hello to the shopkeeper, why would you bother to come out and greet me? Then he turned around and introduced, "This is my dad. Dad, this is the shopkeeper of Sun's shop." "

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhu. I'm being rude." "Invite two people to sit in the room, and then hurriedly greet the waiter to serve tea.

Zhu Yongxin had only called others "Master" in his life, but he had never heard anyone call him "Master". Suddenly, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Hehua turned around and smiled at him, telling him to relax, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Don't sit still." Sit down, because I have guests coming to my house tomorrow, so I came to buy some fruits and vegetables. "

When the shopkeeper heard this, he led Hehua into the room to see. There were vegetable baskets on the shelves. The room was very warm, and the vegetables looked fresh.

Looking at the lotus flowers one by one, there are really many types of vegetables, including basil, bracken, leek, celery, wild rice stems, mushrooms, winter melon... and sauerkraut, radish, etc. Although the price was really expensive, she had to buy it. Chapter 221 The Jiang family discussed the marriage. She picked a medium-sized winter melon, and also took celery, wild rice stems, mushrooms, lilies, sweet potatoes, and lentils. After a few items, I guessed that it was almost enough, so I asked the waiter to weigh the food and calculate the amount.

The shopkeeper said to the second girl, don't be anxious. You are too old to leave without a cup of hot tea! "

"It's really because I have something to do at home, so I won't bother the shopkeeper anymore. There are still a lot of things to do!" Hehua declined with a smile.

The guy was procrastinating in calculating the accounts, and He Hua was anxious and couldn't rush him. As a result, just when he was about to calculate the money, Sun Jianyu's voice came in from outside. You have to pay for so many dishes at my house, little girl. , you are not giving me face! "

"Brother Jianyu!" Hehua called someone first, and after he greeted Zhu Yongxin, he said that if your family wasn't the only one with these dishes, I would rather take care of other people's business than come to your place! If you don't charge me, I'd rather not give it up. "

Sun Jianyu saw He Hua looking at him with big eyes and a determined look on his face. He had no choice but to sigh and said, you girl, you always have to be different from others, right? "

"Your house is open for business, and I'm here to buy in a serious way. Your family is not short of money, but you can't do things like this!" Hehua counted the copper coins and gave them to the boy, and asked him to take the helper to the car and use The quilt was wrapped tightly, and he smiled and said to Sun Jianyu, "I can't meet you now, otherwise I will bring you some corn flour pancakes."

"Hey, girl, are you greedy for me?" Sun Jianyu flicked her forehead, "Since you have something to do, hurry up! I wish my second uncle is on his way."

Zhu Yongxin and Hehua went around to another street to buy some snacks and fruits, and then hurried back to Qijia Village. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they bought tofu, bean sprouts and bean skins at a grocery store.

Fang and Jasmine had already tidied up the house so that the windows were bright and clean. When they saw the lotus flowers, they hurriedly asked if they had bought any vegetables. "

"Mom, don't worry!" Hehua entered the room, got a piece of tissue paper, and made a menu. After writing, read to Mr. Fang: Stir-fried vermicelli with sauerkraut, winter melon cup, garlic-crusted cabbage, hot and sour radish cubes, vegetarian fried wild rice head, leek zygotes, vegetarian braised tofu, fried walnut kernels with celery and lily, shredded sweet potato, lentils and potato stewed corn. , fermented glutinous rice dumplings and cold bean sprouts and bean curds, a total of twelve dishes, the winter melon cup is equivalent to soup, okay? "

"This is the only way to do it, and it sounds like it's not yet." Fang heard that He Hua was talking about many kinds of dishes. Although she didn't know how to cook some of the dishes, she thought that since He Hua had written them down, she would know how to do it. After doing it, he stopped worrying and said, "Zhier will also help tomorrow. Your grandma and grandpa will have lunch together. You go find Boning and Shuanzi's new clothes for the New Year and make a fire fight." It's been ironed and smoothed. I don't need to worry about Jasmine and your clothes, right? There are so many words."

"Mom, you don't need to be so nervous, it's okay!" Hehua pulled Fang to the side and sat down and said, "What are the conditions in our family? The Jiang family is not talented like this. If they dislike our family, they won't do it." The more nervous we are about getting married, the more people feel as if we have reached such a high level that we feel uneasy. Although sometimes we are a little petty, there is nothing unworthy of others in terms of our heart and personality. , you just carry on your pretense as a prospective mother-in-law, and I'm here to watch!"

After being told a few words by He Hua, Mrs. Fang gradually calmed down. She felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she nodded and said that I was so anxious that I lost my sense of control. You put away all the dishes you can put away tonight, don't wait to be busy again tomorrow. "

"Mom, don't worry. Just go back to the house and iron your and dad's clothes. I'm here!" Hehua pushed Fang back to the house, cut the tofu in half and put it in a bowl. After freezing them outside, I smashed pecans and picked out a small bowl of relatively complete walnut kernels. I put all the vegetables that were afraid of freezing in the stove and put those that were afraid of heat in the warehouse.

Early the next morning, He Hua was lifted up from the kang by Fang, and she went to put Shuan Zi into clean and crisp clothes, and told him to be obedient today. Zhi'er came in from outside and said to He Hua, "Just now There was a young man wandering around outside. When he saw me coming in, he gave me this note, saying that the young man from the Jiang family asked him to give it to you. "

He Hua was stunned when he heard this, why would it be given to him? Let’s not mention that we can meet at home during the day. Even if we can’t see him, he shouldn’t send any message, right? There were many words in it. She took the note and opened it strangely. She immediately laughed and said, as the saying goes, girls are extroverted, but in our family it is the opposite. This future brother-in-law wrote a note to me specifically, saying that his grandma is vegetarian and does not eat meat, and is afraid that we will do it. Here’s the food! "

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she nodded and praised that the little brother of the Jiang family is really a thoughtful person. "

Jasmine's face felt hot when she heard it, but she said angrily that if she was really thoughtful, she should have sent it earlier, otherwise this person would be here soon, and he must have prepared it in advance, so there was no time for it now. "

"Don't be reluctant to take advantage of me. Go back to your house and have some fun!" He Hua smiled at Jasmine with crooked eyebrows, "I don't need your busy work today. Just rest in the house." That’s it.”

Zhi'er also rolled up her sleeves and said, Jasmine, come into the house quickly. If you can't help it after a while, your aunt will help you to block it and let you take a look at the little brother of the Jiang family. "

Jasmine is really ashamed and ashamed at the moment, stomping her feet and disobeying her. Aunt Zhier, why are you making noises with Hehua? "After that, he turned around and went into the house.

Zhi'er and Hehua started to select and wash the vegetables. After a while, Mrs. Lin also helped. The few people were chatting and laughing, but they also worked quickly. After a while, the ingredients were cut and put on different plates for preparation. Hehua put the food at home. I checked the seasonings and found that they were still there, so I felt relieved. I cut off the top of the winter melon, took out the pulp, diced the mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and wild rice seeds and threw them in. I also cut a few slices of watermelon. For vegetables and dried tofu, add water to a pot and simmer slowly. The rest can be cooked fresh near noon. They are all vegetarian dishes that are easy to cook.

At three o'clock in the morning, a carriage stopped at the door of Hehua's house. Zhu Yongxin and Fang hurriedly welcomed him out. Seeing Jiang Shiyan jumping out of the car first, he saluted Zhu Yongxin and Fang and wished his second uncle and second aunt well! "

"Okay, okay, help your old lady out of the car quickly." Ms. Fang reminded Jiang Shiyan since she couldn't help but step forward.

He quickly turned around and helped an old lady in her sixties get out of the car.

I wish both Yongxin and Fang the best to their in-laws! "

"Hello, in-laws!" Old Mrs. Jiang probably had a relationship with fasting and chanting Buddha's name. She was also kind-hearted and had no airs at all. She was only wearing ordinary home clothes. Although the materials and stitching looked good, they were not brand new. The dazzling, 80% new appearance is not eye-catching, and the gray hair makes people feel good about it.

Hehua led Shuanzi forward and saluted, saying that he had met the old lady of his in-laws and the brother of the Jiang family! "

Jiang Shiyan introduced Dao Nai to his grandmother, which is Jasmine's lotus and her family's smallest, Shuanzi. "

"Okay, good boy." Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yongxin and Fang hurriedly invited people to sit in the room, and Yang hurried away soon after.

Mrs. Fang went to tell Ms. Yang early. Because her husband didn’t come and there was only an old lady, Ms. Yang should accompany her earlier. At any rate, she had to arrive before others came in. But she didn’t wait until now. Although Ms. Yang After arriving, she first said something about her legs and feet being too slow. Mrs. Jiang didn't seem to blame her, but she still felt a little unhappy.

However, these conflicts within the family cannot be shown in front of outsiders. Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Yang were sitting in the house with Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Shiyan. Mrs. Lin led Zhi'er and Hehua to cook in the kitchen. Mrs. Fang took the time to explain. Dao remembers to ask you to cook two dishes with your own hands, otherwise people will feel bad. "

After Lotus mixed the leek stuffing, he brought it into the house and let Jasmine knead the seeds. She saw that the winter melon pot had been stewed until soft, so she took it out first. One of the two pots was used for cooking, and the other stewed the lentils, potatoes, and corn segments. The stir-fried vegetables and lotus flowers were warmed with hot water. Lin's He Zhi'er is a very agile person, and he had all the cooking done in a short time. When Lotus made the fermented dumplings, the pots on both sides were already empty. She put the winter melon cup back into the pot to heat it. When it was hot, she added a handful of vermicelli and asked Zhi'er to help watch and wait for the vermicelli. It's ready to serve as soon as it's soft and cooked.

Clean another pot, heat oil and lightly fry the walnut kernels, take them out quickly, drain the oil and water, then sprinkle them on top of the fried celery and lily, then pour the sweet potatoes that have been cut into it and fry until golden brown. After taking it out and cleaning the pot, I saw that the winter melon cup was ready, so I signaled that the table could be set. I boiled the syrup in the pot, poured the fried sweet potatoes in and stir-fried until all the sweet potato pieces were evenly hung. After the syrup was served, he let the branches cover the fire, put it on the plate, wiped the syrup on the edge of the plate, and the last dish was ready. He brought it to the table and looked at the twelve dishes arranged, lotus and Fang's He blinked his eyes to show that he didn't lose his status to her.

It was not appropriate for outsiders to be present at such an occasion, so Lin and Zhi'er left after helping. Hehua was so busy that she forgot to serve Liangzi some food alone, so she directly asked Zhi'er to help and took Liangzi with her. Just have a meal.

Old Mrs. Jiang asked in the room, "Your little girl hasn't come to the table yet?" "

"I've kept my in-laws waiting for too long." He Hua quickly took off her apron and entered the room.

"I see you've been busy." Mrs. Jiang said and looked at Yang and Fang with a smile. "Your two daughters are well-educated. They look dignified and capable. They are really enviable."

"The in-laws are too generous." Ms. Yang said modestly, "This is what my daughter's family should learn."

"I have been fasting for many years, and I didn't dare to trouble my in-laws, so I didn't tell them in advance. As long as there are two vegetarian dishes, that's enough for me." Mrs. Jiang said and looked towards the table.

"Don't worry, in-laws, all the dishes are completely vegetarian. Even the cooking oil is home-pressed soybean oil. There is absolutely no meaty smell." Yang smiled and raised her hand to signal, "These two dishes are specially made by Jasmine. , My wife, please give it a try and see if it suits your taste."

"I was just afraid of bothering you, so I didn't tell you yet, but I ended up bothering you anyway."

"We will be a family from now on. It would be too unorthodox to say that we are not in trouble." After saying this, Mrs. Fang began to help Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Yang prepare the dishes.

Hehua placed spoons and chopsticks beside each dish. Fang was smart enough to use the shared spoons and chopsticks when she saw this. Although Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, He Hua felt that she could clearly see a satisfied look on her face.

After lunch, Hehua and Jasmine cleared the table and brought tea. Only then did Mrs. Jiang talk about the purpose of her visit. Originally, I thought that my Shiyan and your Jasmine were not very old, and Shiyan Yan will attend the Autumn Festival next year, so it would be better to wait until next winter to get married. However, when I went to the temple on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the eminent monk calculated that we should get married this year. I have been thinking about getting engaged for a long time, and now I have decided on a date to get married. It’s not like there’s a lack of etiquette either. "

"My in-laws are too polite. As elders, we do everything for the benefit of the children. Since there is a senior monk who is supposed to get married this year, then naturally we should obey."

"Your family is indeed a well-educated family." Mrs. Jiang took out a piece of red paper from her sleeve and handed it to Yang, saying, "The eminent monk has planned a few good days for this year. Which one does my wife think is better?" Okay?"

Yang glanced at it and couldn't understand what was written, but she still said calmly that it was too early to talk about spring, and it would be too hot in summer, so it would be better to live in autumn. The weather here is the best in autumn. . As for the specific day, just follow the arrangements of your wife! "

"That's okay, I'll prepare a post and deliver it to your house when the time comes. I'll also have to send someone to deliver it to Shiyan's parents. They are busy outside all year round and don't even bother to go home. I'm just like that , It’s really... It’s hard to even meet her!” Old Mrs. Jiang took Ms. Yang’s hand and said, “I envy my wife’s blessing. She has both children and a prosperous family. I just hope that Jasmine will bloom soon when she comes to my house. Loose leaves, added to the import."

Jasmine was sitting aside with her cheeks glowing, but now she was even more ashamed after hearing these words, her head was lowered and she didn't dare to raise it.

He Hua thought with some worry in her heart that she had never thought of this before. The three generations of the Jiang family were single generations. It would be a blessing for Jasmine to have a daughter, but if she gave birth to a daughter, her life would become difficult. But then I thought again, even if the family is not a three-generation family, the idea of preferring sons over daughters is the same. It can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Liu tried so hard to have a child. Maybe she will have to face such a situation in the future!

After sitting and talking for a while, Mrs. Jiang stood up and said that it was time for our grandparents and grandchildren to disturb her for so long. "

Yang also stood up and said, "I won't keep you here any longer. There is still ice and snow on the road outside. It's not safe to walk too late. In the future, when the two families get married, please come more often!" "

Old Mrs. Jiang walked to the door, stretched out her hand and touched Lotus's head and said, "How good is the little girl in cooking? You can make so many kinds of vegetarian dishes for you. I really liked the winter melon cup!" "

"My in-laws have given me the prize. I just learned from my mother and I." Hehua said modestly, "If you like it, I will write down the instructions one by one and send it to you."

Mrs. Jiang was not polite when she heard this. She nodded and said that she could read and write. Her in-laws' tutoring was really good, so I would like to thank you very much! "

Jiang Shiyan had been resting in the west wing. After receiving the letter, he came out, helped the old lady get into the car, and said goodbye to the Zhu family.

Hehua sent the person away, shaking his aching arms, thinking about taking a break. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Jasmine say Hehua, please continue to teach me how to read and write! "
