Chapter 384 eating phase
Carrying things, An Xia went to the Cheng family first. She originally wanted to go to her fourth uncle's house, but she thought that the fourth uncle and Kaikai must be working in the field now. Moreover, Grandpa Cheng told her to go home when she came, and even simmered chicken soup in the stove with a hanging rod. She actually missed chicken soup.
"Grandpa Cheng."
Standing at the door, An Xia shouted first. Chengdezhong was waiting for An Xia in the house early, and called his granddaughter-in-law to see the soup in the hut. When he heard An Xia's shouting, he immediately walked out with a crutch. Seeing An Xia standing outside the door, Chengdezhong happily greeted him.
"Come in quickly, the sun is getting big outside. Huihui will go and put the fans into the chicken soup and come to An Xia."
"Aunt, aunt."
When Xiaomei saw An Xia, she ran over like a little penguin. An Xia's hands were full of things. She saw that Xiaomei was not walking steadily, and she was worried. Fortunately, Xiaomei was about to fall, and hugged her legs.
Seeing this, Shi Hui hurriedly picked up her daughter, "Let her aunt enter the house first."
As soon as she entered, An Xia put the things on the table, washed her hands and went to get the gifts first, and brought Shi Hui a box of Tremella pearl cream. This snowflake cream was new, and she only met it at the old brand of Shanghai Yashuang when she went to the Yamao Department Store. There were only five in total, one for more than twelve yuan, and she bought four.
"Sister-in-law, I'll give it to you."
Shi Hui took the snow cream and looked at it, "Tremella and pearls? Oh, can this snow cream still contain tremella?"
"Tremella moisturizes pearls and whitens. I think this one in the city sells very well, so I brought a few bottles and gave you one, and the bottle is for my aunt." The aunt that An Xia said was Shi Hui's mother-in-law.
"Thank you, don't buy it in the future, this one looks expensive."
Although Shi Hui felt a little sorry for money, which woman didn't like beauty? She happily accepted An Xia's gift, thanked her again and again.
Cheng Dezhong was jealous, but he was so old that he had the nerve to ask the child for a gift? An Xia saw the envy in Grandpa Cheng's eyes, and hurriedly took out the gift prepared for the old man.
"Grandpa Cheng, this is what I bought for you. A pair of jade balls. Turning this can move your fingers and stimulate the acupoints. And I bought a small one, so it won't be very heavy. If you hold it for a long time, you won't be tired, and your wrists won't be sore after rubbing it for a long time."
"There is mine!" Grandpa Cheng smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, revealing his sparse teeth in his mouth. He took the small jade ball given by An Xia and turned it a few times, which was really easier than the big one. His younger son bought him a big one before. He thought it was tiring to take it for a long time, so he threw it away and stopped playing.
"Grandpa Cheng, you are so kind to me. Although you didn't buy you anything valuable, I saw that there was a sale in the vegetable market and immediately thought of you."
"What is valuable or not? This kind of intention is more valuable than anything else. Don't buy so many things next time you come back, do you know."
"Xiaomei, what do you think this is?"
An Xia took out a large paper box from the bag and hid it behind her, making Xiaomei call her aunt softly over and over again, making her heart soft.
"doll!"
An Xia took out a gift from behind. This is the most popular doll in the city. Only department stores have this thing. She chose a black hair and big eyes like Xiaomei, with arms and legs moving, and can change clothes and comb her hair. The salesperson said that this is one of the best toys they sell.
Sure enough, Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she saw such exquisite dolls, "Hello, sister-in-law, I want a doll."
An Xia took the doll apart and sat on the sofa with Xiaomei in her arms. After Xiaomei held the doll, her head never raised again. At this time, Shi Hui came in with the chicken soup that had been simmered all night.
Sure enough, the chicken soup that was slowly simmered on stove fire was different. A strong chicken aroma filled the whole room with the flavor of it. "Summer, try it quickly."
The chicken soup in the bowl was thick and white, as if it had a sticky texture. There were some yellow oil flowers floating on it, and there was a big chicken leg inside. An Xia smelled the fragrance. She hadn't eaten the soup simmered in the stove fire for decades. The stove fire stimulated the fresh fragrance of the chicken.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not polite."
"You're welcome, I didn't serve you too much. There will be good lunch later. You can make your stomach first."
An Xia ate the vermicelli and found that there was a poached egg lying underneath, plus a chicken leg. She also thought of eating less, but she couldn't hold on to such delicious chicken soup. In the end, she drank the chicken soup of 10,000 vermicelli.
It was past ten o'clock when I looked at the watch. "Grandpa Cheng, I'll go see my grandmother and a few uncles first, and come back later."
"Go, call your fourth uncle and cousin over for dinner later, and everyone is lively."
An Xia was a little moved. Grandpa Cheng even thought of this detail for her. She had the best relationship with her fourth uncle. "Okay, I'll call my fourth uncle to come here together later. Thank you grandpa."
"Why do this kid always say polite words? The family doesn't say two families. Go and see your grandmother and come back early."
"Why."
An Xia took the gifts she brought to her grandmother, second and third uncles. Since the fourth uncle came here later, she would go back with her fourth uncle after dinner. Then she would get the food, mainly for Yang Jinying to buy food.
Yang Jinying lives in An Jiaqing's house. Because the house is not big enough, An Jiaqing and his wife go to the field to work in the bed in a corner of the living room. In September, the rice will mature in autumn. The weather is hot at this time, and every household is constantly watering, for fear of affecting the rice yield.
If the two children don’t come back, Yang Jinying will be alone in the house for a long time. Although she is a little lonely, she is still comfortable. She doesn’t eat well. An Jiaqing and her husband are very good at living. They basically only eat rice every day, and they are all grown in the fields. They are reluctant to put oil on them. They can’t see meat and fish. Unless their son comes back, they cut a small piece of bacon hanging from the kitchen, which is considered a meat dish.
The bacon was left for half a year and was dry and hard. Even if Yang Jinying wanted to eat meat, she couldn't bite it. In the morning, she had steamed buns and pickles, and boiled water. At night, the leftover rice was added to water and boiled a pot of porridge. It was still pickled, and even eggs were rarely eaten. All the eggs laid by the hens in the house were saved by Li Juhua and sold for money.
Yang Jinying couldn't eat much at every meal, and she felt uncomfortable if she ate too much. Then she stayed in the house during the day, and was either bored or hungry, and she occasionally went out for a walk, but when she met an old woman of the same age, she felt uncomfortable when she heard what she said, so she simply didn't go out.
When An Xia was pushing the door with her things in, Yang Jinying was standing and resting with a chair. When she saw An Xia coming in, her eyes were complicated.
"Grandma, I'm here to see you. You look good and your legs still hurt?"
Yang Jinying didn't say anything, An Xia put the things on the Eight Immortals table at his own expense, "I bought some peach paste, milk biscuits, black sesame paste, lotus root powder, Jingguo, and ten ham sausages. I don't know what to buy for you, these things can be eaten slowly."
