Chapter 251 250. Enough

On the way back, Uncle Ming Tao said to Yan Chen, "Oh, I didn't expect that little girl to be so thoughtful and careful, and even prepared food for us on the way.

Ouch, this warms and touches me, and I feel like I'm wearing another padded jacket. "

The corner of Yan Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "Xiang Jin has always been more thoughtful and careful in considering things."

Uncle Mingtao nodded, and then said, "But having said that, the old Xiang family is willing to give up such a good daughter and granddaughter. What do you think they are thinking?!"

The smile on the corner of Yan Chen's mouth turned into sarcasm, "Idiots' thoughts will never be understood, they don't deserve to have a relative like her!"

Uncle Ming Tao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes, you are right, that is a group of blind people, they really are not worthy of being her family."

Yan Chen and the others had just returned home, and his grandparents were also coming out of the field, so Yan Chen and Uncle Ming Tao went over to help pack the vegetables.

His grandma asked them to wait a little longer, and she said she was going to get them some food to take with them on the way.

Yan Chen stopped it, "Grandma, don't go busy, Xiang Jin has prepared it for us."

"Girl Jin?" Yan Chen, his grandfather and grandmother were both surprised.

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, she was afraid that it would be difficult for us to find something to eat on the way, so she prepared it for us.

They steamed mutton soup dumplings and cooked porridge in the morning, brought a thermos bucket for Uncle Tao and me, and some other food, so you don’t have to prepare it for us, grandma. "

His grandfather and grandmother were immediately overwhelmed, and her grandmother couldn't help sighing, "Why is this girl so sweet?!"

His grandfather also nodded frequently.

Then her grandmother said, "Then I'll go and bring you that rice noodle. If you go back late, you can cook that rice noodle and eat it!"

Yan Chen wanted to say no, and let them cook it themselves, but he remembered that Xiang Jin brought them a big bag yesterday, and said that it was for Uncle Tao to eat, but when they came back later, they didn't cook it. .

So she said, "Then take a little less, enough for me and Uncle Tao to eat."

Her grandmother didn't say a word, and directly took the bag out of the refrigerator intact.

Yan Chen said, "We can't eat so much, let's take some out?!"

His grandmother said, "Who said it was only for you to eat, let your grandpa also taste the special snacks of our small place."

Yan Chen said, "I don't know if grandpa is at home today?"

His grandmother said, "Isn't there an aunt who cooks at home? You can ask her to try it then."

Yan Chen smiled helplessly, "Okay!"

After the things were loaded into the car, his grandfather and grandmother brought out two vegetable bags from the house.

"Your Aunt Liao brought this back. She said it was a bag for you and Han Che. Don't forget to hand it to them when you arrive in the provincial capital?"

"Okay, don't worry, I won't forget, didn't you and Xiang Jin bring him something, and I will bring them together when the time comes.

Is Aunt Liao in the field or at home?I'm going to thank her! "

Her grandmother waved her hand, "Don't go, the vegetable harvester is coming, and your Aunt Liao is busy in the field right now."

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, then I won't bother her, but grandma, please help me to thank her when the time comes."

"Okay," followed by her grandmother and explained to him other things, and his grandfather became a little impatient, "Oh, you have read those words many times, can you stop nagging now ?
You can see that it is almost nine o'clock now, if you continue to scroll down, you will really not be able to set off until the time planned yesterday.

It's snowing today, and the roads are difficult to walk. They have to drive more slowly, so let's not delay their departure time. "

Grandma Mo quickly let go of Yan Chen's hand, "Okay, okay, I won't talk, I won't talk, let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Yan Chen and Uncle Ming Tao just laughed, and they didn't hesitate, they opened the door and got into the car, then they both waved goodbye to them, and then the car started.

Yan Chen looked down at his watch, and Uncle Ming Tao said, "Don't look at it, it will probably be dark when we go back today."

Yan Chen said, "No, I'm looking to see if Xiang Jin and her mother have left. If not, we can take them directly to the town."

"Aren't they also open for business on the spot?"

Yan Chen nodded, "It won't be affected by their family's sales of stewed vegetables."

"Oh, so? Oh, don't say that the stewed vegetables in their house taste really good. I still want to eat it."

Yan Chen said, "That's what Xiang Jin taught her mother to do!"

"Girl Jin taught it?!" Uncle Ming Tao was a little surprised.

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, she taught not only the business of her mother's braised meat and vegetables, but also the business of her two uncles' meat sandwiches and fried rice noodles. Jin is the best at cooking."

"No way, that girl is so capable?" Uncle Ming Tao became more and more surprised.

Yan Chen gave a faint "hmm".

Uncle Mingtao followed suit and said, "Oh, this old Xiang's family has lost a lot of money. There is such a baby bump in the family that I don't know how to hold it tight."

A trace of disdain appeared in Yan Chen's eyes again.

Old Xiangjia? !Ah……

But Uncle Mingtao said again, "But having said that, that little girl is so shrewd, and the old Xiang family treats their wives like that, it's no wonder that little girl can have one heart with them!

The first time I saw that little girl from a distance, I just felt that the little girl was tough and pungent, just like a little pepper in the sky, not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, she is a master who doesn't like to suffer! "

Thinking of Xiang Jin from before, the corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "She is indeed a master who doesn't like to suffer, even if she suffers, it is only when she is willing, otherwise, no one can take it It's cheap for her."

"Oh, you know her that well?" Uncle Ming Tao suddenly turned his head to look at him.

Yan Chen said, "After getting in touch with her a lot, I will naturally understand that she is someone who treats her sincerely and she treats you sincerely."

Uncle Ming Tao nodded, "I can tell!"

I was really told by Xiang Jin that by noon they were driving in a section of no-man's land, where there was no village in front of the village or shops in the back. If they wanted to drive across this section of road to the next town, it would take at least two people. Hour.

So by that time, they probably would all be hungry, but fortunately, Xiang Jin had prepared food for them, so they didn't have to wait until that time, they could finish the meal in the car.

Uncle Ming Tao pulled the car over to the side of the road, and the two of them started to have lunch.

When they opened the thermos, the steaming white fat steamed stuffed bun appeared in front of them, and the rich fragrance immediately permeated the entire carriage.

Uncle Ming Tao sniffed hard, "Wow, it smells so good?!"

Yan Chen took out a few more small plastic bags that had never been used from the pocket containing the snacks, then handed two to Uncle Ming Tao, and kept two for himself.

Uncle Mingtao took the plastic bag and opened it, put one on his lap to prevent the soup from spilling on his body when eating the buns later, and used the other as a disposable glove to eat the buns.

The same goes for Yan Chen.

Uncle Mingtao took out a steamed bun and took a bite, then his eyes widened, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but say, "Well, this steamed stuffed bun is delicious, delicious, and the meat is delicious. Delicate and tender, this is the second time I have eaten such delicious mutton buns."

"The second time? When was the first time?" Yan Chen ate more civilized food than Uncle Ming Tao, but he still couldn't help asking.

Uncle Mingtao said, "The first time, it was when I was a soldier in the army. Once I went to the company with the chief. In that company, we had a meal of mutton soup dumplings. It was made by a Mongolian boy in the cooking class. of.

That mutton soup dumpling made me remember all my life, but when I went to the company with the chief for the second time, I heard that the young man had returned to his hometown after his service period. "

Yan Chen said, "I'm not sorry, didn't I eat again today?"

Uncle Mingtao sighed, "Yeah, I ate it again, and it was still thanks to you, you said that little girl is good at cooking, this time I really believed it.

Alas, but having said that, it should be rare for them to buy mutton. How do you think this little girl made the mutton soup so delicious? "

Yan Chen said, "Xiang Jin usually likes to tinker with food, and she is very talented in cooking, there is no lamb but pork, these are all connected, and her memory is very good, basically as long as she has seen She can make those dishes, which is not difficult at all for a person who is very talented in cooking."

"Oh, I see, this girl is just like you, she belongs to the kind of very smart people," Uncle Ming Tao nodded, and after finishing speaking, he picked up another bun and started to chew.

After finishing the meal, Uncle Ming Tao sighed and said with satisfaction, "Oh, today's meal of mutton soup buns is very comfortable, just one word, cool!"

Seeing his expression, Yan Chen couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Mingtao followed and said to him, "You're right, that girl is really honest with people, she actually picked eight buns for me in my bucket, and you, how many buns are there in your bucket?" steamed stuffed bun?"

Yan Chen said, "It should be about the same, I didn't count."

Uncle Mingtao asked, "Have you finished eating the buns in the bucket?"

Yan Chen said, "No, there are a few left."

Uncle Ming Tao said, "Then if you don't want to eat it then give it to me."

Yan Chen teased him, "Aren't you full yet?"

Uncle Ming Tao said, "I'm full, I mean after I go back at night."

Yan Chen said, "Let's talk about it later."

Uncle Mingtao stretched out his hand and lifted the pocket of the snack, then flipped through it and said, "What kind of snack does the little girl have?"

Yan Chen didn't say a word, and motioned him to watch for himself.

Uncle Mingtao opened a small bag, picked up a cat's ear from it, and took a bite, "Oh, what is this? It's made in circles. It tastes pretty good."

After speaking, he tied the bag again, and then checked the others.

Suddenly he was attracted by the big bag of stewed meat, "Hey, there is also stewed beef? Hey, I'm lucky, I'm lucky!"

Yan Chen said, "Fasten it, let's go, we can eat early when we go back early."

Uncle Mingtao tied the bag again and put it away, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, the sooner you go back, the sooner you can get something to eat.

Ouch, that little girl treats people so sincerely, next time I go, I'll bring her something, otherwise I'll be ashamed of this old cannibal. "

Yan Chen didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Uncle Mingtao is a veteran driver who has been driving for many years, and he really caught his attention. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived home.

"Come on, move things," Uncle Ming Tao waved to the two guards standing at the door after getting out of the car.

"Oh, good," the two guards hurried over to unload the goods.

Aunt Jiang, who was tidying up the kitchen, heard the movement outside, so she hurriedly dropped her handkerchief and ran out to have a look.

"Xiaochen, you're back?!"

Yan Chen was also moving things into the house, when he heard her voice, he raised his head and called out to her.

Aunt Jiang also went to help.

Then Yan Chen asked her, "Aunt Jiang, where is Grandpa? Isn't he at home?"

Aunt Jiang said, "Your grandfather left the company yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

Yan Chen nodded, and after putting down the things in his hands, he sat down at the table and poured a glass of water for himself and Uncle Ming Tao.

Seeing so many cardboard boxes and vegetables on the ground, Aunt Jiang said, "Hey, why did you bring so many things back, and so many vegetables?"

Yan Chen said, "Some of them are for Han Che and my aunt."

Aunt Jiang nodded, and then said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll get it for you!
Your grandpa was not at home, and it was snowing again today. I didn't see you coming back until six o'clock, so I thought you had to come back, so the three of us ate noodles. "

Yan Chen told her to wait a while before talking.

At this moment, the phone at home rang, and Aunt Jiang hurried over to answer it, "Xiaochen, your grandpa's phone is asking if you're back!"

"Oh, okay, wait a minute, let me say a few words to him," Yan Chen got up, and walked over to pick it up.

After a while, the phone was hung up, and Yan Chen casually dialed the numbers of his grandparents, informed them that they were safe, and then walked back to the dining table and sat down again.

Uncle Ming Tao asked him, "Did your grandpa say when he will be back?"

Yan Chen shook his head, "I mean come back tomorrow afternoon."

Uncle Ming Tao nodded, and then asked, "Should I deliver the dishes to Han Che and your aunt's house now or tomorrow?"

Yan Chen said, "Call them and ask them to come and pick them up, anyway, it's not too far away, take them there early and put them in the refrigerator earlier, or put them outside, some green leafy vegetables will turn yellow by then. "

"Okay, then I'll call them now!"

Uncle Ming Tao went to call Han Che's house, and then Yan Chen picked out the dishes from their house and asked Aunt Jiang to put them in the refrigerator.

Aunt Jiang hurried to clean up.

Those dishes are packed in small bags one by one, and it is quick to pack up. Just take out the small bags and put them in the refrigerator to pack them up.

It only took Aunt Jiang ten minutes to pack the vegetables, and then she started to pack the bacon and sausages she brought back.

"You study in your hometown, and your grandfather often goes to the company, so I didn't make bacon this year. Fortunately, I only made a few pieces. Otherwise, you brought back so much, and the refrigerator might not be able to hold it. "

Yan Chen said, "If you can't hold it, take out the meat you made earlier and put the meat I brought back in. These are pure local pork, and they were all raised on refined grains. I didn't eat them. Compound feed for a penny."

"Okay, I'll wait and see, if I can't finish it, I'll take out the previous one."

Uncle Mingtao mentioned the bag of pho and asked Yan Chen how to cook it. Aunt Jiang said she would cook it, but Uncle Mingtao refused, "No, no, you pack yours. I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Yan Chen asked him, "Do you know how to cook, so I told you to come?"

Uncle Ming Tao spread his hands, "I don't know, that's why I asked you?"

Yan Chen stood up, "Let me do it!"

Uncle Ming Tao refused again, "Don't, don't, tell me, I'll do it!"

Seeing his persistence, Yan Chen stopped arguing with him and said, "You can eat it fried or boiled."

"Then do you want fried or boiled?" Uncle Mingtao followed suit and asked again.

Yan Chen said, "Just eat the boiled ones, don't eat too greasy at night, isn't there still braised pork there, cut two slices and serve it later."

"Come on," Uncle Ming Tao was immediately happy, and he carried the rice noodles into the kitchen, and after a while he stood at the door of the kitchen and asked Yan Chen, "What vegetables do you want to eat?"

Yan Chen said, "Let's just blanch a few slices of lettuce. Don't put any seasoning except salt."

"Okay," Uncle Mingtao nodded, and then asked, "Oh, by the way, how long does it take to cook?"

"It's hot enough!"

"So simple?" Uncle Ming Tao couldn't believe it.

Yan Chen said, "It's already familiar."

"okay!"

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Tao, let's reheat those buns."

"it is good!"

After a few minutes or 10 minutes, the steamed stuffed bun was put on the table, and Uncle Mingtao asked Yan Chen, "Is the braised pork enough? Do you want me to cut a few more slices for you?"

Yan Chen said, "Enough, too much is too boring."

Uncle Mingtao took a sip, "Not to mention, this pho tastes really refreshing and chewy, and paired with a bite of this mutton soup dumpling, oh, it's absolutely delicious!"

Seeing his contented and intoxicated face, Yan Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

The uncle and nephew continued to eat.

Just when they were halfway through eating, Han Che and his second uncle came.

"What's delicious? It tastes so delicious? Let me try it too," Han Che sat down opposite Yan Chen, and then looked at him eagerly.

Yan Chen glanced at him lightly, "You didn't eat?"

Han Che said, "I ate it, but I ate it too early, and now I'm hungry again, how about it, give me a bite?"

Yan Chen stayed away from him with a look of disgust, "Don't talk to me while eating."

Han Che said in frustration, "I haven't eaten yet!"

"But I'm eating!"

Han Che curled his lips, "Okay!"

Yan Chen finished the meal as quickly as possible, and said, "If you want to eat, cook it yourself!"

Han Che's eyes widened, "Do you want me to cook it myself?"

Yan Chen said, "Or do you want me to cook for you?"

Han Che laughed, "It's not impossible?!"

Yan Chen stood up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, "That's beautiful!"

Han Che stared at his back, "I knew it!"

Uncle Ming Tao and Han Che's second uncle just laughed.

"Uncle Tao, what's the weather like at Yan Chen's grandparents' house?" Han Che asked after him.

"It's colder than the provincial capital, and it's snowing too!"

"It's snowing too? Is that a big deal?"

"It's big, just like the provincial capital, it's also snowing like goose feathers."

"Are Xiang Jin and the others okay? Have you seen the new house built by their family? Is it beautiful?"

"They are very nice, and their house is also beautifully repaired. The yard is huge, and the yard and the house are covered with bluestone slabs. Their house is a bit like a Nordic building.

Their family raised two big dogs and gave birth to several puppies. Her mother opened a stewed meat shop on the street, and her two uncles also opened a restaurant on the street. Their business was very good. Her grandfather She has always lived in their house, and her grandfather also planted vegetables in a greenhouse, and the business is quite good. Every day, those customers come to collect vegetables by themselves. "

"Really? That's really great! Does the old Xiang's family still make trouble for their family?"

Uncle Mingtao said, "I haven't seen the old Xiang's family this time. I heard that their family has gone to the county seat. The woman Xiang Jin's father found outside gave birth to a son. It is said that she went to help bring up her grandson." gone."

"Who brought the grandson?" At this moment, Yan Chen and his aunt, Yan Shu, arrived.

Han Che quickly stood up and greeted her, "Aunt Shu?!"

Yan Shu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Looking for Chen Chen?"

Han Che nodded, "Yeah!" Although he didn't come here to play with him on purpose, he was also looking for food, right?
"Just now you said who brought the grandson?" Yan Shu immediately asked the previous topic again.

Uncle Mingtao said, "Oh, no one, just Xiaochen's neighbor from his grandfather's side."

"Oh, I thought it was someone from us who had a grandson," Yan Chen's aunt nodded, and then asked, "Where is Chen Chen?"

"Sister?!" Yan Chen came out of the kitchen.

"Chenchen?" Yan Chen's sister-in-law walked up to him in a few steps, and then took his arm and began to look at him seriously.

"Let my sister-in-law take a good look, um, it seems to have grown a little taller, and also a little stronger. How is it, are your grandparents in good health?"

"Well, they're all okay, they're all tougher and healthier!"

"That's good. I haven't seen them for several years, and it's strange to miss them. I will take time to see them next year. Will your uncle and aunt come back for the New Year this year?"

"At the beginning, I said yes, but then my uncle and the others received a temporary archaeological mission, because those cultural relics were to be excavated for rescue, so they will not come back for the time being.

But my aunt didn’t know whether she would come back. When my grandparents talked with her on the phone the day before yesterday, she said that their academic discussion was not over yet, it was over, and she would come back if tickets were available. "

His sister-in-law nodded, and then asked about his grandparents growing vegetables in greenhouses.

Yan Chen pointed to the cardboard boxes and plastic bags not far behind the gate and said, "There are vegetables for you."

"Ah, so many?" Her sister-in-law asked in surprise.

Yan Chen said, "You and Han Che and the others," he said and walked over there, and the other people present also followed.

Yan Chen divided the dishes for them, "Han Che, this bag of vegetables was brought to you by Aunt Liao, these two bags were brought to you by my grandparents, and the sausage and pheasant in the cardboard box were brought to you by Xiang Jin." Yours, and that bag of pea tips and sweet potato leaves were also brought to you by Xiang Jin."

"Wow, so many?" Han Che and his second uncle were surprised, but also very happy. What they eat now is radish and cabbage, or some dried vegetables.

To be honest, this kind of green leaf vegetables is rare in their provincial capital. They usually buy some bean sprouts, and the price is almost catching up with the price of pork. Today, they received so many fresh vegetables all at once. It's really touching.

Yan Chen said, "Let's keep it, it's also their kindness. We picked the vegetables just before we set off this morning. They are very fresh. Take them back and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh."

"Yes," Han Che nodded emphatically, and then moved out the boxes and cardboard boxes that Yan Chen pointed out to him just now.

Then Yan Chen said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, the rest is yours. These vegetables and bacon are brought to you by my grandparents."

Her sister-in-law nodded, "Okay, thank you grandparents."

Yan Chen said, "I'll move you to the car?!"

"it is good!"

Just as Yan Chen was about to bend down, Uncle Ming Tao and his second uncle Han Che robbed him of his work, and they both said in unison, "Let me do it!"

As he spoke, one person lifted two vegetable bags on the ground, and the other directly picked up the cardboard box on the ground. Yan Chen had no chance to move the goods at all.

Han Che said right now, "Are those two pheasants brought up by those little pheasants caught outside?"

"Well, that's those! They slaughtered a total of ten, and took two for me and two for you, and the remaining few were divided among my grandmother, Aunt Liao, and her two uncles. "

Han Che counted on his fingers, and then said in surprise, "Then they didn't keep much?"

Yan Chen said, "I kept one."

Han Che patted his thigh, "Hey, I knew that Xiang Jin meant something!" Then he asked again, "Are you free tomorrow? Shall we get together?"

Yan Chen said, "I don't have time recently, how about an appointment during the Spring Festival?"

"No way, what's the matter? You're still so busy after the winter vacation?" Han Che felt a little surprised.

Yan Chen said, "There is something wrong!"

Seeing that he refused to speak, Han Che didn't ask any further questions, and nodded directly, "Okay then! Let's get together during the Spring Festival, and then I will cook some special dishes for you!"

"Okay!" Yan Chen laughed.
