Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 396 395. Timely Rain

After Xiang Jin's grandma bought a chicken and a duck from someone else and came back to eat them, when she went to buy them for the third time, they were not willing to sell them to her, saying that their family didn't raise many Chickens and ducks, they still have to raise the chickens and ducks to lay eggs.

They didn't want to sell it, and they couldn't force him to sell it, so her grandma had to go back home.

Although there are still some bacon sausages at home, they can’t keep eating them. After all, eating too much bacon sausages is easy to get angry, so her grandma had no choice but to go to the small restaurant where they ate before and buy them at a high price from the proprietress. Two catties of meat came back.

Later, after her evening self-study, her grandma hesitated and said to her, "Xiao Jin, grandma has something to discuss with you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xiang Jin asked.

Then her grandma told her about the matter, and immediately followed suit, "I plan to go to the town in the next county tomorrow morning to buy some meat ingredients and come back. If I can't make it back by noon, you and Yan Chen, look at it." Should I come back to get some food by myself or go directly to a small restaurant for a meal, if I eat at home, there are noodles and eggs at home."

When Xiang Jin heard that her grandma said that she would go to the next town to buy meat for them to eat, she immediately refused, "Oh, no, no, why do we need to travel so far? If there is no meat, there is no meat to eat. We It’s not like you have to eat meat every day, so what if you eat vegetarian food for two days, why can’t we eat it if other people can eat it?”

Her grandma disapproved and said, "Well, how can it be done? You can be a vegetarian, I can be a vegetarian, and Yan Chen can still be a vegetarian? He has paid living expenses here? Besides, you are now in the third year of high school. The task of studying every day is very heavy, how can I not keep up with my nutrition?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yan Chen is not as picky eater as you think, besides, we don't eat eggs and duck eggs every day, do we still drink milk? How can we lack nutrition?
Besides, didn't you say that grandpa will be back in two days?He will definitely bring us delicious food when he comes back, so don't go, just bear with it for two days.

In this rainy day, the road is not easy to walk, and you are not familiar with the environment of the road next door. If there are several forks in the road, and there is no pedestrian asking for directions on the road, how do you know which way to go next? ah?

Furthermore, just because your granddaughter has such a source of income of several thousand dollars every month, even if the food in her small restaurant is expensive, I can still afford it, so ah, If we want to eat meat, can we lose our stomachs? "

Her grandma just smiled, "Yes, you can!"

Xiang Jin patted her hand, "So, don't go, so as not to worry us?! Also, we haven't eaten bacon for a few days, why don't you cook us bacon tomorrow at noon Let's eat the sausage.

There are eggplants and cucumbers at home, it’s fine, and don’t you have a few tomatoes at home?How about some scrambled eggs with tomatoes? "

"Okay, listen to you," her grandma held her hand and smiled with her eyes wide open.

The next morning, while Xiang Jin and the others were having breakfast, someone knocked on the door of the house suddenly. Xiang Jin and Yan Chen got up at the same time and wanted to open the door, but her grandma stopped her, "You guys Eat yours, I'll go?" After speaking, her grandma walked over there, and asked the people outside the door, "Who is it?!"

"It's me, Grandma Qiao, Xiang Jin's deskmate, Lei Jia," a young girl's voice came from outside the door.

Both Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were surprised. After they glanced at each other, they both looked towards the door. Xiang Jin's grandma walked over to open the door, and then they saw Lei standing outside the door. Jia, and another kind grandfather who is about 60 years old.

If Lei Jia was alone, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen didn't need to be polite to her, but after seeing the old man, out of politeness, they immediately stood up from the dining table and walked towards the door past.

"Grandma Qiao!" Lei Jia first greeted Xiang Jin's grandma politely.

"Ah ah ah, okay, come in, come in," Xiang Jin's grandma stepped aside and warmly invited them into the room.

Lei Jia was very happy after seeing Xiang Jin. After the two waved each other's hands as a greeting, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also greeted her grandfather politely.

Immediately Lei Jia said, "There is too much mud on our feet, so we won't go in," and then she bent down as if she was going to get something from the wall beside her, and her grandfather hurriedly brought her to him.

Then Xiang Jin and the others saw that it was a snake cloth bag filled with most of the bags. Several people were surprised for a moment, and Xiang Jin asked, "Who are you?"

Lei Jia said, "It's been raining for the past few days, and the stone bridge from the town to the school was washed away. My mother and grandma were afraid that you would stop shopping, so we took advantage of the lesser rain today. In addition, I had to go back to school to pick up some homework, so they asked me to bring you some ingredients, and my grandfather was afraid that I wouldn't be able to twist it, so he came with me."

After Xiang Jin and the others heard this, they were all moved in their hearts, and Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Oh, look, your mother and your grandma are really thoughtful, we are really troublesome and thank them, come on Come, come in!"

Xiang Jin also said, "Come in, our family is not that particular."

Yan Chen walked over and immediately picked up the snake cloth bag.

After Lei Jia and her grandfather glanced at each other, they nodded and entered the room.

After entering the room, Xiang Jin's grandma asked them if they had breakfast, and if they hadn't, she would accompany them.

Lei Jia and her grandfather both waved their hands and said that they had already eaten, just let them eat and leave them alone.

Xiang Jin, his mother-in-law and grandson all nodded and did not greet them politely. After pouring a glass of water for each of them, Xiang Jin went back to the dining table to continue eating.

Lei Jia went to the snake cloth pocket and opened it, and then took out a large piece of tofu from inside. Xiang Jin's grandma thought she was going to help them clean up, so she said, "Son, Just put it there, and I will clean it up after dinner."

Lei Jia said, "No, Grandma Qiao, this piece of tofu was just cooked in our family this morning, and it was still very hot when it was just out of the pan, but because we were in a hurry, my mother and I milked them I didn’t have time to wait for it to cool down before packing it, so I was afraid that it would be damaged if it was covered in the bag all the time, so I took it out to dry.”

Xiang Jin's grandma nodded, and then sighed, "Oh, it's the tofu made by your mothers themselves. They really are. How tired are they when they wake up so early?"

Lei Jia said, "They don't think the tofu sold on the street tastes very good, so since Xiang Jin taught our family how to make the pickled fish and tofu noodle, the tofu in our family has always been made by themselves every morning. Freshly ground."

Then Xiang Jin's grandma asked her, "How is the business in your restaurant now?"

Speaking of this, the corner of Lei Jia's mouth curled up into a big smile, "Okay, every day is fine, even on idle days our business is full every day.

If it was on the spot, many nearby neighbors wanted to come to our house to eat pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles. They would bring their own small pots and small pots to our house to cook, and then bring them home to eat.

My mother and grandma often regret that our house is too small, otherwise they really want to put a few more tables. "

Xiang Jin's grandma smiled and said, "Oh, that's really great!"

Lei Jia and her grandfather had smiles all over their faces.

Then Xiang Jin asked them, "How long did it take you to detour from the town to the school?"

Lei Jia said, "About an hour and a half."

Xiang Jin was silent for a moment, "Then you all left home after six o'clock?"

Lei Jia nodded, "Almost."

"Then your mother and your grandma went to the vegetable market to help us buy vegetables earlier?" Xiang Jin's grandma asked again immediately.

Lei Jia said, "That's not true. They went there after six o'clock, because the meat and ingredients they brought to you were all made by them yesterday in advance with those familiar street vendors. Yes, tell them about what time we will pick it up this morning and ask them to prepare it in advance, and the other party agreed.

Oh, by the way, Grandma Qiao, those vegetables are basically picked from our own field this morning, so there is still a lot of rain on them, so you can hang them outside for a while before putting them in the refrigerator go inside. "

Xiang Jin's grandma nodded, "Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you so much, go back and tell your mother and grandma, and we will come to the door to thank you when the water stops some other day."

Lei Jia waved his hands and said, "Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, it's really nothing!"

Xiang Jin and the others finished their breakfast as quickly as possible, and then her grandma went to pack the ingredients brought by Lei Jia, and then Xiang Jin and the others saw that Lei Jia and the others had brought them a lot of fresh meat ingredients .

Pork, pork ribs, a chicken, a duck, and a large grass carp that have been slaughtered. The pork and ribs are at least five or six catties each, and the ribs have already helped them a lot. Cut it off and slaughtered it.

Seeing this, Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really timely what you sent here. The fresh meat in our refrigerator was just finished eating yesterday, and my grandma said that she went to the town in the next county today. I went up to buy some fresh meat and came back, I didn’t expect you to bring it to us, and you brought so much, our family can eat it for several days.”

Xiang Jin's grandma also said, "Yes, yes, isn't it? It really solved a big carnivorous problem in our family."

After hearing this, Lei Jia and her grandfather were very happy, and they both had happy smiles on their faces. After all, this gift-giving is still a bit particular.

One is to be delivered to the heart of the person, and the other is to be delivered to a juncture, especially for people like Xiang Jin and the others. Home may not necessarily be able to see it.

But seeing them like this, they really liked it, and the two grandparents immediately felt that they were the right gift.

Because of the lack of time, Xiang Jin and the others couldn't stay at home for a long time, so Lei Jia, his grandfather and grandson sat at home for a while, and then they got up and said they were going to leave.

Xiang Jin's grandma quickly took out 200 yuan and handed it to Lei Jia and the others, thanking them for bringing these ingredients to solve their family's dietary problem in the next few days.

Lei Jia’s grandpa and grandson don’t want it. It’s like a fight. Xiang Jin’s grandma said that they are very grateful for their hard work in bringing them so many ingredients in this rainy weather. Thank you, how can you let them spend so much money?
Lei Jia and her grandfather said that it was nothing compared to what Xiang Jin wanted to do to help them. If it wasn't for Xiang Jin, the business in their restaurant wouldn't be so hot now, they just casually Every day, she can earn a few hundred dollars in net profit. Her mother and grandma repeatedly explained that they could not accept money from their family before they left the house. How could she go against their wishes.

No matter how high or short the grandpa and grandson were, they had no choice but to do so. Xiang Jin's grandma gave the money to Xiang Jin and asked Xiang Jin to give it to her.

Xiang Jin also felt that she didn't even want to go back to the second time to eat others, so she asked Lei Jia to keep the money, and said that their family had already thanked them last time, and this time it was absolutely impossible to do so, so she just After handing over to them once, they can't always eat their food for free.

Lei Jia said, "That's only once, you gave me lectures to help me improve my studies, if it weren't for you, my current grades might have plummeted, so you guys have to accept this anyway Next, it's a little sympathy from us," she said, pushing the money back to Xiang Jin.

We can't keep going on like this, and since they've talked about it, Xiang Jin has no choice but to hand the money back to her grandma, "If that's the case, then grandma, let's just forget about it?"

Xiang Jin's grandma also sighed, "Hey, look at you, you are spending so much money, we are always embarrassed," she said, and her grandma asked Xiang Jin to keep the money. For the odds and ends, Xiang Jin put the money back into her hand, "Oh, you keep it yourself. I don't usually use money much, so I don't bother to carry so much cash with me."

Her grandma looked at her and laughed and cursed, "This child"

Lei Jia also smiled and said, "Grandma Qiao, you are too polite. Just to say something polite and proud, our restaurant has earned back just these ingredients in one morning. It is really nothing. In the past, we might not be able to earn back in a few days or a week."

Xiang Jin and her grandma laughed again, "Okay, then Grandma Qiao will accept it unceremoniously?!"

"Yeah!" Lei Jia nodded vigorously.

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Are you going to the classroom to get your homework and then go back right away? Or are you going back after school in the afternoon?"

Lei Jia said, "I have to pay the tuition fee and sign up when I come here today. I'll go back in the afternoon."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Then can you go back and catch the car?"

Lei Jia said, "My uncle will pick me up on a motorcycle in the afternoon."

Xiang Jin nodded again, "Okay, then you come to our house for lunch, grandma, and you cook Lei Jia's meal at noon."

"Oh, good!" Her grandma readily responded.

Lei Jia hesitated and nodded.

Then everyone went downstairs together, but when they reached the door, Lei Jia's grandfather suddenly turned his head and asked Xiang Jin's grandma, "Oh, by the way, your family still has rice, flour, grain and oil, if you need it." I asked Lei Jia and her uncle to pull you up when the time comes?"

Xiang Jin's grandma said, "Oh, no need, no need, thank you very much, we still have food at home, and there are plenty of them, and we also have lard and sesame oil for cooking."

Lei Jia's grandfather nodded, and everyone went downstairs.

After going downstairs, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen separated from Lei Jia's grandfather and grandson. They went back to the classroom directly, while Lei Jia went to the school's registration office to pay tuition and collect books.

Because the rain has weakened a bit, the day students who live in the town also took a detour back to school like Lei Jia did, and Xiang Jin and his head teacher said, "If you come, you will be at ease, and you can study with peace of mind when you come back to the classroom." study?"

Later, Xiang Jin asked Lei Jia, "Mr. He agrees that you don't go to morning and evening self-study?"

Lei Jia nodded at her, "Well, I called Teacher He before, and he said that out of consideration for our personal safety, we day students don't have to go to self-study in the morning and evening, and we can study at home by ourselves." .”

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded.

Because there are four people in the family eating, Xiang Jin’s grandma still made four dishes plus a soup at noon, one braised eggplant with bacon, one scrambled egg with tomato, one braised fish with tofu, one steamed pork made with fresh pork belly, plus A cucumber and sauerkraut vermicelli soup.

"Grandma Qiao, you all know how to cook. Xiang Jin's cooking is delicious, and your cooking is also delicious," Lei Jia couldn't help but praise after taking a bite of her tamales.

"Really?" Xiang Jin's grandma just smiled, and then said, "I like to eat, so I will come to our house to eat often from then on!"

"Well," Lei Jia nodded politely.

Then Xiang Jin's grandma further invited, "Then you can come to our house to eat at noon from now on, and I will cook the rice for you then!"

Lei Jia was flattered for a while, she hurriedly put down the bowl, and after swallowing the food in her mouth, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, thank you Grandma Qiao, I'd better eat in the school cafeteria Already!"

Xiang Jin said, "Come to our house to eat. The food in our house is better than that in the school cafeteria. The food in the school cafeteria is really not good recently. Not to mention the money spent, but also to eat Not much, many students are complaining, but there is no way."

Hearing Xiang Jin's invitation, Lei Jia was immediately moved and grateful, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

Xiang Jin said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Our family has eaten so many ingredients that your family gave us and we didn't feel embarrassed. It's nothing if you eat a few meals at our house. Besides, you haven't been with us all the time. Home food, that is only recently, what kind of courtesy do you have?"

Lei Jia carefully glanced at Yan Chen again, seeing that his expression hadn't changed, and he didn't say anything, her heart was a little more at ease, she was afraid that he wouldn't like her talking to Jin and the others home for dinner.

For this Yan Chen, to be honest, she has always been a little apprehensive. He always gives people a cold and uncomfortable feeling, even though they have already sat together for a few times, but she It's just that I don't feel familiar with him.

"Then, well, then I will bother you at your house at noon when it rains these days."

"Hey, what are you talking about, kid? You and Xiaojin are in the same class and at the same table, and are usually very good friends. You don't need to be so polite, huh?!" Xiang Jin's grandma said.

"Yeah!" Lei Jia nodded vigorously.

When school was over in the afternoon, Lei Jia's uncle came to pick her up on a motorcycle. After hesitating for a while, Xiang Jin couldn't help but said, "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go back and forth every day. Or if you go back and bring two sets of clothes and a mat and blanket, you can simply move to the school. Anyway, I still have a bed in the dormitory, and I paid for it. It would be a waste to leave it empty there.

You don’t know when that stone bridge of yours will be repaired. You can’t say that the bridge hasn’t been repaired all the time, so you don’t have to go to school for morning and evening self-study. The ones that come here are more effective, not to mention other things, that is, the teachers often explain the test papers during evening self-study classes, which you must not hear. "

After listening to her words, Lei Jia nodded earnestly at her while being moved, "Well, okay, I'll go back and talk to my mother and grandma, are you leaving?"

"En!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly.

Xiang Jin's proposal didn't even occur to Xiang Jin herself that Lei Jia would move much faster than she imagined.

Early the next morning, Xiang Jin and the others had just finished their morning self-study when they saw Lei Jia and her uncle waiting downstairs in their house with bags of things.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were surprised when they saw them, "Oh, why don't you go up?"

Lei Jia said, "We have just arrived, so we won't be going up for the time being. You guys take this up, and then I will go directly to the dormitory with my uncle."

Xiang Jin frowned when she saw that she brought out another snake cloth bag for them, "What are you taking?"

Lei Jia said, "A little food, don't I want to eat at your house in the past few days? It's a partner!"

Xiang Jin frowned slightly, "Didn't you just get the ingredients yesterday?" Isn't it too frequent to take it again?

Lei Jia said, "Oh, the one yesterday doesn't count, the one yesterday was specially given to you, and today this one is the ration for eating at your home recently.

Oh, hurry up, don't waste the time, and I'm going to the dormitory too. "As she spoke, she pushed Xiang Jin towards the stairs.

Xiang Jin said, "Are you going by yourself? Do you need me to accompany you?"

Lei Jia shook his head, "I don't think so, I know everyone in the dormitory."

Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then you can go by yourself."

Lei Jia nodded, then looked at Yan Chen, and begged, "Yan Chen, can you please help me carry this upstairs?"

Yan Chen nodded his head slightly, but didn't say a word, then directly bent down slightly, picked up the snake cloth bag and went upstairs.

After taking two steps, Xiang Jin turned her head and said to her, "Oh, by the way, you don't need to prepare anything else for the washbasin, small bucket, and kettle. I have them there. You can just take them when the time comes." It was used in the past."

"Oh, good!" Lei Jia raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

After Xiang Jin and the others returned home, her grandma saw that they brought back a snake cloth bag and asked, "What is this?"

Xiang Jin said, "Lei Jia's partner ingredients for dinner at our house recently."

Xiang Jin's grandma sighed, "Oh, their family is too polite."

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, who cares about her, you can eat it as soon as you bring it, you can't tell them to bring it back so far away, what a lot of trouble is that?"

Her grandma nodded, "Okay, then go and eat quickly, and I'll clean up these ingredients."

Xiang Jin asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Her grandma said, "I'll eat it later, you guys can eat it."

"Oh, okay then," the two turned around and went to the bathroom to wash their hands.

After a while, Xiang Jin saw her grandma take out a few more plastic bags of meat and ribs from the snake cloth bag, as if there were two pieces of bacon in it, and a plastic bag of rice and a handful of noodles. There are some vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, celery and garlic sprouts.

Xiang Jin yelled at her grandma after swallowing the food in her mouth, "Grandma, you can call grandpa when the time comes, and tell him that he doesn't need to buy ingredients when he comes back. Look at our so many vegetables and meat, I guess I can’t finish it for a week.”

Her grandma laughed and said, "That's right, look at how many dishes there are. Our refrigerator is full and hasn't been filled yet. Alas, Lei Jia's mothers are too polite. Look at these two times. The ingredients may cost them hundreds of dollars, so I'm really embarrassed!"

Xiang Jin walked up to her with a bun and said, "It's okay, they didn't suffer much. Lei Jia moved to the school. It's the bunk I used to have in the dormitory. I'll give it to her." I came to live here, and I let her use the washbasins, small buckets, and a warm kettle that I used in the dormitory before, so I didn’t have to buy another one. I still saved a lot of money for them. Where's the money?"

Her grandma laughed and said, "That's true. Anyway, those you don't need are empty, but it's much more convenient for her to move to the school."

"Yes!" Xiang Jin walked back to drink porridge.

"How does this steamed stuffed bun taste like today?" Her grandma asked after she packed up the ingredients and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She walked to the dining table and looked at the two of them.

Xiang Jin asked, "Is this pumpkin stuffing?"

Her grandma nodded, "Well, I grated the pumpkin, then marinated it with salt and squeezed the water, mixed it with fresh meat, and wrapped it. I don't know whether this pumpkin is noodle pumpkin. It’s still a water pumpkin, and I bought this pumpkin from the nearby farmers.”

Xiang Jin said, "It's for pumpkins!"

Then Xiang Jin's grandma seemed relieved and said, "Oh, that's good, that's good, Xiaochen, are you used to this stuffing?"

After Yan Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, he nodded and said, "Well, I'm used to it, it's delicious!"

The corner of Xiang Jin's grandma's mouth suddenly burst into a smile, "Oh, that's good, that's good, you don't like sweet things, I'm afraid you won't be used to the taste of this pumpkin."

Yan Chen said, "No, as long as it's not as sweet and greasy as sugar, I can accept it."

Xiang Jin's grandma nodded, "That's good, that's good, then eat more, I steamed a lot of buns today, oh, yes, I almost forgot, I also cooked some for you As for the eggs, you eat the buns first, and I'll get them out for you."

Just when Xiang Jin's grandma turned and went into the kitchen to fetch eggs for them, Xiang Jin whispered to Yan Chen, "I don't seem to be able to eat anymore, I ate four buns in one go, how about you help me put them away?" Did it eat it?"

Yan Chen smiled and said, "I seem to be full too."

Xiang Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, let's stop eating!"

Yan Chen looked at her with a smile and whispered to her, "Why don't we share one? At least your grandma cooks something, and we don't seem to feel sorry for her if we don't eat it."

Xiang Jin thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, let's share one."
