My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 327 "Homecoming"

time flies.

It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye, and this year's Lantern Festival was also very deserted, but Xu Ma still prepared a table of very sumptuous meals.

On the one hand, it is to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and on the other hand, it is also to see off the eldest family.

In addition, she also cooked a pot of glutinous rice balls.

Tangyuan means reunion, and the meaning of the old man is very straightforward, that is, he hopes that the eldest family can move to Yanjing as soon as possible, so that the whole family can be truly reunited.

Before dinner, Xu Ma served a bowl of glutinous rice balls to everyone in the family. The glutinous rice balls were filled with sesame seeds, and the quantity was not much, only five or six in each bowl.

"Grandma, I want more." Dabao likes sweets, so he ate them very quickly.

Yang Lina took the bowl and spoon away: "Don't eat, dinner is about to start, grandma made your favorite fried fish steak."

Father Xu smiled and scooped a glutinous rice ball from his bowl, and put it into Dabao's mouth. As a grandpa, he couldn't see his eldest grandson being wronged.

"Dabao... likes grandpa!"

Dabao said vaguely while eating glutinous rice balls.

Lele just didn't like glutinous rice balls, so she simply moved the bowl in front of Dabao: "Dabao, good boy, I'll give you all the second sister's!"

Yang Lina glared at her little daughter, then put the bowl back, the old one can't control it, and you can't control the young one?
In the end, all the glutinous rice balls went into Xu Dong's stomach.

After a noisy dinner, Mama Xu took her two daughters-in-law and started to pack their luggage. Due to too many things, Mama Xu specially bought two large suitcases a few days ago.

"Boss, this bag contains dried sea cucumbers. I packed [-] of them for you, and there are not many left at home. Keep them for yourselves and don't give them away." Madam Xu urged.

"Understood, Mom!" Tan Aifang agreed.

"This big bag is full of dried prawns. The prawns are rich in nutrients. It's best to cook a little every day. Remember?"

"remember."

"The remaining big bag is full of imperial goose oil. When you go back, you must put it in the refrigerator in time. If the power fails and it breaks, don't be reluctant to throw it away. If not, I will ask someone to bring it to you."

Tan Aifang was overjoyed, this big bag of oil was enough for their family to eat for a year, and they could continue to eat until tomorrow when they went to Beijing.

Yang Lina took out a big lunch box: "Sister-in-law, I have prepared some bread and pastries for you, and you can take them with you on the way."

"Thank you." Tan Aifang quickly took the lunch box.

"It's all a family, don't be so polite."

Madam Xu picked up a few bottles of Maotai wine and put them in the suitcase: "This is the wine that the third brother prepared for his elder brother. Let the eldest drink less at ordinary times, and he can only drink one or two glasses at most for a meal."

Tan Aifang nodded again.

"The last bag of dried fish, you help me bring it to my mother-in-law. I heard from Jingyi that her grandmother would like this one."

"Thank you mom!"

Tan Aifang felt very emotional. The supplies are so tight now, especially meat. She did not expect her mother-in-law to be so generous, which made people feel moved.

Madam Xu waved her hand: "If Jingyi is free during the summer vacation, you must come to my place for the summer vacation."

"It depends on the situation. If we can come, we will definitely come."

Tan Aifang promised.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Bin's family of three boarded the high-speed train back to Luyang. There was a sandstorm on the way, and the train didn't arrive at the station until after [-] pm.

After leaving the train station, the three went straight to grandma's house.

After my aunt opened the door, she saw a family of three covered in luggage, and quickly invited them in.

"Mom, eldest sister and the others are back from Yanjing."

Xu Jingyi looked around the house, but she didn't see her uncle and cousin, so she couldn't help but wondered:
"Auntie, where is my uncle? He went to Gusu so early?"

"No way, the rush on the construction site is tight, and you know how hard it is to find a job now." The aunt replied.

"When did you leave?" Tan Aifang asked.

"On the train in the third year of junior high school, I stayed at home for two days."

As soon as the aunt finished speaking, the grandmother came out with a cane, looked at the family of three one by one, and finally took the granddaughter's hand and said with a smile:
"It's all fat, it's good to be fat, the food in the capital is to support people."

"Grandma, my grandma brought you a gift." Xu Jingyi said excitedly.

"What gift? Take it out and show it to me."

Tan Aifang opened a big backpack, and put all the important things in the suitcase. The backpack was full of gifts specially used for giving, so it was convenient to take it out.

"Mom, what do you think this is?"

Grandma took it over and took a look, good guy, it was quite heavy, and almost missed it.

"Isn't this a small fish?"

Xu Jingyi quickly explained: "Grandma knows that your old man likes to eat small dried fish, so she specially packed some for you to take home."

"Isn't that too much?" Grandma asked in surprise.

"It's okay, it's about a dozen catties, mom, just take it!" Xu Bin waved his hand generously.

"How embarrassing, it's too precious." Grandma trembled her lips.

The aunt on the side was already ecstatic, and immediately helped to persuade: "Mom, since it is the heart of the brother-in-law's family, you should accept it!"

"Hey, Dabin, thank your mother for me later."

"Okay, I will definitely convey it to you." Xu Bin nodded.

Tan Aifang took out a big bag from her bag again, facing the curiosity of her aunt and others, she quickly explained:

"Mom, this is the salted fish Dabin bought for you. It's [-] catties in total. I wonder if you need it?"

"We need it, we need it." My aunt agreed without hesitation.

The little cousin on the side heard the salted fish and kept looking into the bag. If Xu Jingyi hadn't pulled it aside, maybe her little head would have stuck into the bag.

"Miao Miao, the salted fish is raw, you have to cook it before you can eat it."

The little cousin was not disappointed, and her interest remained undiminished.

The aunt pushed the little girl away, took the bag and looked through it. There were so many salted fish, it made her happy.

Grandma quickly asked, "Dabin, how much did you charge for this salted fish?"

"Mom, it's 2000 yuan a catty, and you can just give 40,000 yuan." Tan Aifang hurriedly replied.

This was discussed in advance between her and the head of the family. The lesser 400 yuan, even if her family subsidizes her natal family, it can't help more, and their family can still afford a few thousand yuan.

My aunt breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it would cost hundreds of thousands, the prices in Luyang are so outrageous, and there are often prices but no market.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you money." My aunt ran to the bedroom immediately after speaking.

Because of the frequent power outages here in Luyang, coupled with the unstable current situation, no one dared to deposit all their money in the bank. Basically, every household would keep some cash for emergencies.

Therefore, my aunt's house is not short of cash.

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's the same if you owe it first." Tan Aifang quickly reminded that her younger brother's family still has to repay the mortgage, and the financial conditions are not ample.

The aunt quickly came out with the money: "It's okay, the head of the family made a little money last year, you can just accept it with peace of mind."

In fact, my aunt made a good plan. If you sell any part of these salted fish, you can recover all the cost, and the rest is pure profit.

Why not?
Tan Aifang had no choice but to take the money, roughly counted it, and found that the amount was wrong:

"Why is there an extra ten thousand?"
