The story of a cook

Chapter 205 Going Home ([-])

It's nice to be home.

Children who have been away for a long time feel very good when they return home.

I have nothing to do in winter, I stay at home with my mother every day.After breakfast in the morning, I would make a pot of tea, sit there and drink while chatting with my mother. My mother would talk about my sister’s family, sometimes relatives’ family, and sometimes village affairs.Mother talked and I listened.When I was at home, my mother felt very annoyed when she said these things. I thought my mother was annoying. Now I feel like listening to my mother when I hear these things, and I feel like I haven’t seen them for a long time.

When it was almost noon, I went to the yard and started chopping firewood. I chopped the rooted firewood in the yard into small pieces, so that it would be easier for my mother to burn.Taking advantage of the time, I tidied up the yard again and looked at the rules.

After staying at home with my mother for two days, Fifth Sister and her family of three came back.

The fifth sister is now rated as an outstanding teacher in the city.

It seems that Fifth Sister has done a good job in her position, very good.Fifth Sister is a caring person. Although she is teaching in the countryside, she is very dedicated and does an excellent job.

The fifth brother-in-law is not working in the store now, and the shops in their town have also started to be contracted by individuals. The fifth brother-in-law did not contract the store, so he directly bought out his seniority and was laid off to work as a farmer at home. He opened a welding repair by himself. , Fortunately, it is not bad to guard the family.

Fifth Sister, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Fourth Sister, the four of them are from the same town, and they are also from the same village.This is mainly due to the eldest sister, who first married to the past, and then introduced the second sister to the second brother-in-law. After the second brother-in-law introduced the fourth sister to the fourth brother-in-law, he introduced the fifth sister to the fifth brother-in-law.The four sisters lived in the same village, and their families were not too far away, only two miles away, so they could take care of each other.That is, the third sister married to another town, so she was a little lonely.The third sister was introduced by the third aunt. The third aunt was in that village, so she introduced the third sister. Good.

The fifth sister's child is already three years old, and the real age is four years old, and he looks like a tiger.With the fifth brother-in-law, black.This time when I saw me, I was no longer unfamiliar, and I just opened my mouth and called me old uncle.I hugged it happily, it was quite heavy, it seems that I did not eat less delicious food.

The mother said: "This child has only left here for a few days, and now he is here with grandma again. Do you miss grandma?"

The little nephew said, "I think about it."

The fifth sister said: "He is used to staying here. He was fine for the first two days when he came home. After two days, he shouted all day to go to grandma's house, to grandma's house. I don't know what this poor grandma's house is thinking. Willing to come here, today I saw his father and I started to clean up the motorcycle as soon as we started, and said to go to grandma's house."

Mother said: "He is used to staying with me, and I don't discipline him. You always discipline him at home, and he doesn't like to stay at home."

Putting the child on the kang, the little guy started looking for toys, and sat on the top of the kang to play by himself.

The fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law took off their shoes and went to the kang, and I poured tea for the fifth brother-in-law.

The fifth sister asked me: "When did you come back? If the third sister didn't call me, she wouldn't know you were back. She thought you had to come back on the first day of Lanjun's wedding."

I said: "This time the hotel just happened to be relocated, so I came back early, stay at home for a few more days, and spend good time with my mother."

Fifth Sister heard me say that the hotel has been relocated, and asked: "Your hotel has been relocated, will you still have a job when you go back?"

I said, "Go back and find a job. It's easy to find a job."

Fifth Sister said, "If it's easy to find, it's okay. Don't go back and have no work."

I said, "There is a job. I can find a job easily. Don't worry about that."

Fifth Sister said, "That's fine. I'm thinking about being completely laid off like your old brother-in-law."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Don't mention that I can do it, I also work at home."

I asked my fifth brother-in-law: "Fifth brother-in-law, are you doing electric welding at home now?"

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Well, it's not too good. It's not that you don't know about our family. What's the welding? It's nothing. I have made tofu for a few days this winter, and it's okay to make tofu."

I said, "You have to raise pigs to make tofu, and you can't make much money just relying on tofu. If you raise some pigs, you can sell the tofu for money, and the remaining tofu dregs can be fed to pigs, saving money on feed."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "I don't think about raising pigs. My old man wants to help the sheep during the Chinese New Year. Now he raises sheep to make money."

I said: "That's okay, we just don't have anything to let go of here, if there is a good place to let go, it's okay."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "There is nothing to let go. The mountains are closed. Even if the mountains are not closed, sheep can't get in now. The sea buckthorn seeds planted in the first few years have grown up, and they can't get in at all." Then said: " To raise sheep, you have to slip by the side of the mountain, and then feed some feed when you come back, and now all sheep farmers are like this, so they can make money, mutton is so expensive.”

I said, "That's fine, just take a little hard work."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Why don't you work hard? It's good to earn a little while you are young, but you won't be able to earn it when you are old."

The fifth sister said: "Don't listen to your old brother-in-law talking nonsense from that, you still raise sheep?" She looked at the fifth brother-in-law contemptuously and said, "The old man also raises sheep, but your old brother-in-law is so lazy that he can get up and herd sheep." ? When he gets up to herd the sheep, the sheep will starve to death."

The fifth brother-in-law said to the fifth sister: "I just told you what I said? Now there are no sheep, and I will get up when there are sheep."

Fifth Sister said, "I don't know if you can get up or not, but sheep can get up."

The fifth brother-in-law laughed.

The fifth sister is older than the fifth brother-in-law, and the fifth brother-in-law is like a child in front of the fifth sister, always being scolded.The fifth brother-in-law has a good temper, so she's fine.

This is the case between husband and wife, you can't say I don't listen to you, and you don't listen to me, just wait for a fight all the time, that's not life.

Fifth Sister asked me: "You are back, what about Lin Yan?"

I said, "She's still at work, with Qiuping."

Fifth Sister asked: "Now Qiuping and Lin Yan are working together?"

I said: "Yes, they are together, it's very good, they work as room attendants in a hotel."

Fifth Sister asked: "Then Lin Yan stopped typing?"

I said, "No more. Now she is working as a waiter and studying accounting at the same time. She wants to get an accounting certificate when she waits for the Chinese New Year exam."

The fifth sister said: "That's fine, accountants are very popular now." Then she asked me: "Then how does she learn? Just study at home, do you have time?"

I said, "Yes, I work in a hotel 24/24, and I study at home during the rest."

Fifth Sister said: "It's tiring enough. I still have to go to work and study when I come back, just like me. I have been doing correspondence courses for two years, and I just finished it this year. Now I am an undergraduate."

I said, "Wouldn't that be nice."

Fifth Sister said, "It's pretty good, it's useful when evaluating job titles."

The fifth brother-in-law said a little aggrieved: "Guohua, you don't know. Now your fifth sister is amazing. She is an excellent teacher in our Beipiao City. Now that the correspondence course is over, it will be even better when you get a job title after the Chinese New Year. Now At home, I have to listen to others, what they say is what they say, and I have no right to speak."

At this time, the children of Wujiajia said: "Uncle, my dad is the third in command at home."

I asked, "Then who is the leader in your family?"

The little nephew said: "I am the number one in our family, my mother is the second in command, and my father is the third in command."

After the child finished speaking, the adults laughed.

The fifth sister told me: "My family's Jiaxu (little nephew) has been here with his grandma this winter, and he will not go back home even if he is asked to go home, saying that the food I cook is not as good as his grandma's. I just love to eat the dumplings made by our mother, and I can’t get enough of them, three meals a day are enough.”

Jia Xu said: "My grandma's dumplings are delicious, better than those made by you and my grandma. My grandma can make them, but neither of you can."

Mother said: "Grandma made delicious dumplings, so let's eat dumplings at noon."

I ate dumplings at noon. You can eat dumplings. I love them. I never get tired of eating them.Today it is stuffed with mutton, and the mutton stuffed by my mother is not smelly. I asked my mother how to make it together. My mother said that when chopping the mutton stuffing, add pepper water, and then chop ginger into the mutton and the mutton will not be smelly.This kind of mutton filling is delicious and tender.

While eating dumplings, I drank with my fifth brother-in-law. The fifth brother-in-law said that drinking is fine, and I stopped smoking.Asked how he quit smoking, he glanced at Fifth Sister, and said that it would be impossible if she didn’t quit, your Fifth Sister could eat me.

Fifth Sister is indeed very powerful. When I was at home, I was a little afraid of Fifth Sister.Fifth Sister is amazing, but she is reasonable.

I thought of Fifth Sister's parents-in-law, and asked Fifth Sister-in-law: "My second uncle and my second aunt are in good health?"

The fifth brother-in-law said, "It's pretty good, both of them are in good health."

I asked, "What is my second uncle doing at home now?"

The fifth brother-in-law said: "I don't do much, I just take care of the family's little land and raise two yelling donkeys."

At this time, the fifth sister said: "Guohua, you didn't go to my house. The two donkeys raised by my husband and father-in-law are very good. Now someone is offering 1 yuan for them, and my family is not selling them."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Can it be sold? The two donkeys are the old man's heart, so they can't be sold easily. Besides, don't they all point to the two donkeys for planting fields in spring and harvesting crops in autumn? What are they selling for?"

I said, "That's right. Farming requires livestock. What if there are no livestock?" Then I asked, "What about my second aunt? Are you farming with my second uncle at home?"

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Well, I will farm at home with my dad."

I asked, "Has my second aunt retired?"

The fifth brother-in-law said, "I've retired a long time ago. It's been three years."

The mother of the fifth brother-in-law is an educated youth sent to the countryside in Binhai. She stayed in our Cheng family, but she didn’t go back to the city when she returned to the city.The fifth brother-in-law also has an older sister. Both he and his older sister were transferred to commercial grain household registration with their mother, so both have jobs.

The fifth sister said: "My old lady is good. Now that I am retired, I have a pension and cash money every month. Now the country still has a policy to subsidize the educated youth who went to the countryside and didn't return to the city. There is also a lot of money. The old couple are now It doesn’t matter if you don’t farm the land, you have enough food and flowers, you don’t need me and your old brother-in-law to care about it, sometimes the old couple have to care about us.”

I said: "Your family is in a good life. Now your whole family has one goal. Raise Jiaxu and get into a good university. When the time comes, your family will also produce a college student."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "That's not true. My father said that he would enshrine his eldest grandson as a college student no matter what he said, so that he can honor his ancestors."

The fifth sister said: "My Jiaxu's grandparents take Jiaxu seriously. I didn't see your old brother-in-law said that he would raise sheep for the New Year. In fact, my Jiaxu's grandfather wanted to raise it. He said that he would start saving money for his grandson now." , so that his eldest grandson can go to college."

I said: "It's like this for old people. They are relatives in the next generation. My second uncle and my second aunt are in good health. Seeing the eldest grandson happy, they work hard."

The fifth brother-in-law said: "Well, almost, I think this old couple is very motivated."

The mother said: "You said that, whoever has a grandson will be unhappy. I don't have it. If I have one, I can do it. If I can't raise sheep, I will raise pigs. I sell the money to buy delicious food for my grandson."

My fifth sister and my fifth brother-in-law laughed.

When the sun was about to set, the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law went back, but the child refused to leave, saying that he would stay here with his grandma. The fifth sister asked him what he would do when his elder brother got married, and the child said that he would go with his grandma.
