Chen Xuan left the shop with a smile in her eyes and a warm heart. She held two silver dollars in her hands until they were as warm as her palms, and she was reluctant to put them in her pocket.
Chen Xuan thought about it and went to Dongshi Cai happily. Before leaving, Chen Xuan discussed with Li that Uncle Wang and Uncle San had just come over, so the family had to prepare two good dishes. Chen Xuan came out and asked the men in the family to go home to meet their relatives and buy some meat to take back, and asked Li to prepare lunch at home first.
Chen Xuan also didn't know how to cook any new dishes. All she knew was home cooking. So, Chen Xuan thought that even if she bought some meat now, she might not have enough time to cook it. Because pork was fine as a side dish for seasoning, and beef and mutton were fine for stir-frying, but beef stir-frying was not very tasty, and there was no dish to go with it at the moment. Finally, Chen Xuan went to the cooked food stall and bought two catties of braised beef and two catties of braised mutton. Then, she killed a live fish. These meats were not enough to finish in one meal, so they could be stewed in the evening. Oh, by the way, if there were live chickens, she could buy two more. In this way, in addition to being used to entertain Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang's third uncle, she could also stew some more and make chicken noodle soup for Brother Anian in the evening. Brother Anian worked so hard. He would definitely not eat well if he invited people to drink at noon.
Chen Xuan counted the things she wanted to buy, bought them one by one, and prepared to call a taxi to go home. However, because she was carrying two cages of live chickens, the rickshaws refused to serve her. Chen Xuan was thinking, since the rickshaws refused to take her, it was no wonder that she did not listen to An Nian Ge, so she called a rickshaw to go home instead. Although she had to give the driver 10 cents, it was much cheaper than calling a rickshaw.
What’s more, the sun was so warm in the morning and there was no wind, so it wasn’t cold at all.
Wang Feng's eldest uncle and third uncle are both honest people, and they did not come empty-handed. Li was placing the things brought by the eldest uncle and third uncle in the kitchen. Chen Xuan saw that half of the kitchen was filled with bags. Bag after bag was a large bag of fifty kilograms commonly used in rural areas. They were filled to the brim. It was obvious that they were honest. She couldn't help but say, "Uncle and third uncle brought so many things!" Seeing these things, she knew that Uncle Wang was an elder who Li cared about. Chen Xuan was strong, so she put the chicken on the ground and the others on the table. She helped Li put flour, peanuts, soybeans and other things in the corresponding cabinets. After the two of them cleaned up the mess, they began to prepare meat dishes. Chen Xuan bought so many things and felt happy but also a little worried, "Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many meat dishes?"
"I bought the evening's food as well." Chen Xuan whispered, "My eldest uncle didn't come over last year, and he brought so many things with him, so it should be more abundant. Brother Anian was supposed to come back too, and he had to keep an eye on the purchase today. Brother Anian said he would be back in the afternoon, and asked me to apologize to my eldest uncle and my third uncle on his behalf."
Li's usually gentle face was a little more cheerful because her elders from her mother's family came over. The corners of her pale lips curled up slightly and she smiled, "They are not strangers. It's the same no matter when we meet. Buying goods is not a small matter. It can't be done without our family members watching over it. If Second Uncle's business is delayed because of my eldest and third uncles coming over, I will feel uneasy."
"When we come back in the evening, let Brother Anian accompany my uncle and my third uncle to have a few drinks." Chen Xuan and Li discussed how to arrange lunch. Wei Jin came to inspect and saw that the cooked meat and vegetables were bought back. He just glanced at Li and said nothing else. Wei Jin was very smart. The Wang family not only did not come empty-handed, but also brought a cart of local products, which were also worth some money. Although Wei Jin was a meticulous person, he would not treat relatives badly in food just because they came with big and small people. However, I thought Li was honest before, but I didn't expect that she was also selfish. For her relatives from her mother's side, there was nothing she would not be willing to give away, including chicken, fish, elbows and meat.
Even though Wei Jin knew that these things were bought by Chen Xuan, he still blamed Li in his heart. It was because he bought them to entertain Li's family. Moreover, Chen Xuan was not without fault. She really didn't care about her own money. She bought good fish and meat without hesitation and didn't know how to be frugal.
Wei Jin was muttering in his heart about his two brothers' wives, while old lady Wei's room was filled with the joy of long-lost relatives meeting each other. Old Master Wei liked the Wang family very much, and asked about why Uncle Wang didn't go to the city last year. Uncle Wang smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Brother Wei, I wanted to come and see you after autumn last year, but I happened to get the news that a large flour mill had opened in Baoding Prefecture. Brother Wei also knows that selling grain at home won't make much money. Baoding Prefecture is far from our hometown, and what's more, this is not a matter for one family. If he gets a good price, the food for the villagers in the whole village will be settled. I discussed it with several elders in the village and clan, called a few brothers, and we went to Baoding Prefecture. After finding out the price of wheat and discussing it with the owner of the flour mill, I helped him contact the grain from various villages, and then he sent people to Come to get the grain, settle on the spot, and the price is fair. I was busy with this all last fall and winter, and when I wanted to come, it was almost New Year's Day, and I was busy all day. "Uncle Wang said, laughing heartily, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether I come or not, Brother Wei and I have known each other for a long time. As long as you, my sister-in-law and the children are all well, I will feel at ease. In my heart, first, I am worried about my brother and sister-in-law, second, I am worried about my niece and niece-in-law, and third, I went back to Chenjiawan and heard that Anian married the girl from the Chen family. Alas, I couldn't come to have a drink at the wedding, this time I want to congratulate Anian. The girl from the Chen family is famous for her ability in Chenjiawan, and Anian is so lucky."
Although Uncle Wang didn't do business, he was good at talking. How could Old Master Wei not be happy to hear this? He smiled and said, "His wife just went to the shop to look for him, and a batch of goods arrived today, so he had to look after the purchase. I told you, I will ask the two brothers to accompany you for a couple of drinks tonight. I have some excellent Shaodaozi here."
"Brother's good wine always makes me catch up." Uncle Wang talked about business. "Last year, after receiving the letter from my nephew's son-in-law, I discussed it with my third uncle. My third uncle originally wanted to come right after the New Year. I thought that it would be cold then, and I was worried about riding in a big car in such a cold weather. Besides, if you come early, you will have to prepare coal and fire, which will be very busy. It's better to come when it's warmer. I also want to see my brother, so I came with my third uncle. What's the big deal about looking at the house? Brother, you have good wine, just give my third uncle a few more pots, but don't say anything about money, that would make us feel distant."
"Yes." Third uncle also said, "In my lifetime, it is worth it to be able to live in the place where the emperor lives for a few days. How can I ask for money just to help look after the house?"
"Listen carefully to what I have to say." Old Master Wei waved his hand and told Wang the details of the matter. Old Master Wei said, "You also know that my house is big enough for living. I rented the house outside not for living, but because Anian's wife, my second daughter-in-law, can grow a fresh fruit from the Russians, called strawberry."
"Oh, what is this? I've never heard of it." Uncle Wang and Uncle Three looked at each other and then looked at Old Master Wei. They thought they were not as knowledgeable as Old Master Wei. Old Master Wei said, "I didn't recognize it at first. It was one time when Ah Yin followed her two sisters-in-law to the market and saw this kind of seeds being sold. She had eaten this kind of fruit in that Western restaurant, but no one knew how to grow it. At the beginning, it cost a lot to buy this kind of seeds, and I thought Ah Yin was cheated. In the end, the fruit seeds were bought and grown by the second daughter-in-law. This kind of strawberry has never been seen in Beijing before. Many Western restaurants send strawberries from abroad. If we grow it ourselves, it will be fresher and cheaper than abroad. We plan to plant more this year. It's hard to find land in Beijing, so Ah Nian rented a house. The yard of the house is not small. The second daughter-in-law has turned the land and the seeds are almost grown. Now we can plant them in the field. However, since it is still worth some money now and it is outside, no one can watch it. I thought of my third uncle. Do you think this is a good idea?"
In last year's letter, Wei Shi did not elaborate on the strawberry matter. Third Uncle thought that the Wei family had bought a house and no one was looking after it, so he asked him to come and help look after it. Third Uncle did not hesitate and said what was in his mind, "Looking after the house is not a big deal, but other things, such precious fruits, if there is anything you need to pay attention to, Old Wei, you must tell me in advance."
"Don't worry, Third Uncle. A Nian's wife knows everything about this. Knowing that you were coming, your bedding was made by your eldest daughter-in-law herself. Since the end of the first month of the lunar year, A Shi's wife would take it out to dry in the sun as long as the sun was good. I'm not bragging, but my two sons are ordinary, but my two daughters-in-law are better than those of other families." Old Master Wei smiled. Both families were easy to get along with, and it was very lively during lunch.
Seeing how sensible the Wang family was and how much they cared for Li, Chen Xuan would be lying if she said she wasn't envious. However, at this moment, besides envy, she also had a lot more open-mindedness. Although she was not very close to her parents, her luck was not bad. Chen Xuan had made up her mind that when Wei Yin went to learn painting, she would go with him. When the time came, she would take her study books with her. In this way, she could accompany Wei Yin to class and have more time to read.
If your parents can't keep up, you have to keep up yourself.
Chen Xuan thought silently and reviewed the math problems she had just learned yesterday in her mind.
When Wei Nian returned home in the evening, he had to accompany Wang's eldest uncle and third uncle to drink two cups. Because they were at home and they were real relatives, they didn't drink much. However, when they talked, they ate less. Chen Xuan noticed that Wei Nian didn't eat much, so after cleaning up the dishes, she mixed a small piece of noodles. After Wei Jin finished baking the mutton pie for supper, Chen Xuan went to the kitchen to roll a bowl of hand-rolled noodles for Wei Nian, using hot chicken soup as the base. The fragrant chicken soup noodles were sprinkled with finely chopped ginger and chopped green onions. Wei Nian's appetite was aroused when he saw it, and he smiled, "I didn't feel hungry at first, but I was hungry as soon as I smelled it." He took the chopsticks and was about to start eating. As soon as he picked up the noodles, he found that there was a mystery underneath. It turned out to be a golden poached egg and a big fragrant chicken drumstick. Wei Nian looked at Chen Xuan. In the past, Chen Xuan would not dare to do this. At this time, Chen Xuan said seriously, "Brother Anian, you had lunch outside. Although the food outside was delicious, I'm afraid you didn't have time to eat when you were drinking and talking with others. In the evening, you also chatted with Uncle Wang and didn't eat well. Brother Anian, you should eat more. You are busy in the shop during the day, and you have to read books at night and teach me. You are so tired. You need to make up for it."
It's not easy for anyone. Wei Nian likes to dress up and look suave and charming on weekdays, but he still does all the work and things that need to be done in the shop. Today, it was the first time that Chen Xuan saw Wei Nian in the shop. He was not suave or charming at all, but Chen Xuan felt that Wei Nian was much more down-to-earth than when he was looking at himself in the mirror at home. Chen Xuan felt really distressed, and she was very grateful to Wei Nian. She couldn't take Wei Nian's help for granted. Wei Nian was not a person who had nothing to do all day. On the contrary, Wei Nian was very busy. In such a busy schedule, Wei Nian could still take time out every night to teach her. Last year he taught her foreign language, and this year he taught her mathematics. Chen Xuan was not the type to secretly use the meat and eggs in the kitchen. Meat and eggs were precious things, and Chen Xuan usually didn't dare to eat more than a bite. But thinking that Wei Nian had such a hard time and Chen Xuan was not going to eat it herself, she bravely took a big chicken leg from the pot and put it in the noodle soup for Wei Nian.
Wei Nian knew Chen Xuan's feelings, and he was really hungry, so he ate the whole bowl of chicken noodle soup, and it was very satisfying. After supper, Chen Xuan cleaned up the dishes, and the two of them sat on the small kang table, reading head to head until late at night.
