It is the first time for a prospective daughter-in-law to visit her parents-in-law's house. Not only the in-laws' family, but also her mother's family will inevitably face the enemy.

The winter sun set early, and when Han Chang stepped on the last ray of afterglow and returned to the family courtyard with big bags and small bags of gifts, Han's mother was already waiting downstairs.

In the middle of the afternoon, Han's mother couldn't sit still at home and went downstairs to take out the garbage.It was dark, and the garbage basket was still standing by my feet. I had been chatting absent-mindedly with my neighbors downstairs for nearly two hours.

Just now, I saw Han Chang turning around the intersection with big bags and small bags, and Mother Han waved her hands, and she blamed loudly when she hit him all the way, "You child, why did you come back at this hour!" Never stayed in the man's house for such a long time!

Mother Han blamed her, and people came to welcome her. Han Chang was carrying a lot of things in his hands, and even in the early winter, his nose was still sweating. [

Wang Li, who was chatting with Han's mother just now, looked at the mother and daughter with big and small bags, and asked curiously and gossipingly, "Sister Li, where did Xiao Chang go to play, look at this big and small bag! "

Mother Han knew that her colleague and old neighbor for many years was a warm-hearted and kind person, except that her mouth was not guarded.How could Mother Han dare to say that her daughter went to visit her son-in-law's house today, she smiled perfunctorily and said, "I didn't go anywhere, this child went to visit her friend's house today!"

"Yes, Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhang, it's not a weekend, I went to a friend's house to play for a day!" Han Chang also explained with an ambiguous smile.

oh!Went to a friend's house to play!Seeing that there was nothing to inquire about, the attention of several middle-aged housewives immediately shifted to the big twig basket Han Chang was carrying and the small bag of broken flowers that Han Mu took over, "Xiao Chang, your friend It’s really interesting, this time the gift is worth a lot!”

In the 80s, it was important that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and neighbors are sometimes as close as a family.The Han family lives in the family building of the work unit. Most of the people living upstairs and downstairs are old neighbors and colleagues for many years. A few middle-aged aunts are not polite at all. go up.

Someone quickly lifted the floral cloth covering the wattle basket, oops, the green, green, and red ones in the basket turned out to be a dozen tender cucumbers, a dozen big pink tomatoes, and a few more. Take the green and tender green vegetables, one foot long, the cucumbers still have small burrs, the tomato stalks are still tender and tender green, and the leaves of the vegetables are so tender that water can be squeezed out. Smelling it makes my mouth water.

In the past two years, the common people have just basically solved their food and clothing problems, and the vegetable basket project has not yet been put on the agenda!Every winter, the people’s dining table is either stewed with cabbage vermicelli or stewed with cabbage tofu. Cabbage is the only vegetable that people can often eat in winter.Every year in the early winter, every household has to store at least a few hundred catties of Chinese cabbage.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook rice, even if housewives have all kinds of skills, they can't find any tricks on the dinner table.Now, seeing tender cucumbers, pink persimmons and emerald green vegetables that cannot be seen in winter, the eyes of several middle-aged women are shining brightly!

Wang Li has a good relationship with Mother Han, and her words are the most straightforward: "Tsk tsk, Xiao Chang, your friend's house is a vegetable farmer in the suburbs with greenhouses? Oh, oh, this gift is really interesting. Just smelling it makes the gluttons in my stomach feel sick. Check it out!" If there is a handful of green vegetables on the dinner table in winter, it will be more greedy than braised pork!

Han Mu is also a clever woman who is troubled by rice. Knowing that several old neighbors are envious of the green vegetables in the basket, and she is not the kind of stingy person, she reached into the basket and grabbed two cucumbers and two vegetables. Pass the persimmon to Wang Li, "No, take it back and make a cold cucumber for your Lao Meng!"

"Hey, that's kind! I won't be polite!" Wang Li's face was full of joy as her palms were itchy from the cucumber's tender thorns, and she directly rubbed a handful of cucumber thorns with her hands, breaking off a small piece Cut it, crunchy and sweet.

The other aunts could only be greedy, and said in a sour tone: "I said Xiao Wang, I know that you and Xiao Chang's mother have a good relationship, so don't greedy us here anymore!" They also have to have the cheek to ask for two cucumbers!

Mother Han is also a human being, so she hurriedly continued to take out the basket, yelling, "Don't worry, you all have a share, you all have a share!"

The family had two cucumbers and two big pink persimmons, and the basket in Han Chang's hand was half empty after the people who met them got their share.As for those handfuls of green vegetables, Mother Han is not willing to share them out!Just like that, several neighbors and aunts also laughed from ear to ear, and said politely, "Mother Xiaochang, then we will accept it!" But they grabbed the cucumbers and persimmons tightly in their hands, afraid of Han Mu Regret to go back again!

After the greetings, several old neighbors stuffed cucumbers and persimmons into their bosoms, and hurried home, "Today, I've been blessed by Xiaochang, and I will make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Xiaoyang tonight. It's a sweet and sour appetizer." !"

"Let's say you don't plan to make a large plate of tomato scrambled eggs, at least two persimmons and four eggs, and two chopsticks per person is enough! With chopped green onions, one persimmon and one egg can make a large pot of tomato and egg soup, and one person can drink one Bowl!" The oldest aunt who lives the most budget-conscious life is passing on experience, but the pace of walking home is not slow at all.

Mother Han shook her head with a smile, picked up the trash basket, and hurried upstairs with Han Chang!If you run into any neighbor again, don't even think about leaving the cucumbers and persimmons in the basket!

The Han family lives on the third floor, and the door of the house was not closed when Mother Han went downstairs, so the mother and daughter came in directly.

Han Rui was lying on the dining table in the living room doing homework. When he heard the movement, he looked up and saw his sister coming in with a big basket in his hand. He ran over, "Sister, did you bring me something delicious at my brother-in-law's house today?" [

Han's mother stuffed the basket in Han Chang's hand into her son's arms, and waved her hand like chasing flies, "Hurry up and do your homework!"

After finishing speaking, he pressed Han Chang on the sofa, sat down next to Han Chang's buttocks, and asked a long series of questions, "Xiao Chang, why are you back so late? How do you look? Xiao Du's family Is the condition okay? How does his parents look at their temper? Have the elders in the family picked you up? His old man is not like your "grandmother" who loves to pick bones and pick bones, right? ? By the way, how about the other girls who are guests with you? You may be sisters-in-law in the future, if your tempers don’t get along, there will be a lot of friction in your life!”

Han Chang didn't figure it out all the way, he had a lot to say to his mother, but Han's mother asked so many questions suddenly, he didn't know where to start first!

When Han's mother asked Han Chang, Han's father just came out of the bathroom, and heard his wife mentioning his mother who was getting older and more confused.

"What? What are you looking at me for? Am I wrong? Whose old man can be like Xiaorui's "grandmother" who only has her youngest son in his heart, and the other sons and daughters are picked up! Not to mention Said that my sister-in-law and I are now daughters-in-law! Seeing my sister-in-law and I, the two daughter-in-laws who failed to let her have a grandson earlier, are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai!" Every family has hard-to-read scriptures, Han Mu said Thinking of mother-in-law is also full of bitterness, and I can't care about my daughter anymore!

Father Han rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Isn't this just talking about Xiao Chang? How come it's about Mom again!"

"Aren't I worried that my daughter will also have such a naughty mother-in-law?" Mother Han replied angrily, and then scolded Han Chang, "You silly girl, it's the first time you are a guest at the man's house, why are you doing this?" Come back late!"

Han's mother said that the wind is the temper of the rain, which also gave Han Chang a headache. The Nai on his face was exactly the same as Han's father, "Isn't it because Du Haoxuan's family is crowded today! Plus his house is far away from ours!"

"That's enough, that's enough! Don't talk about this!" Han's mother was originally in a sharp temper, but seeing that she hadn't heard the right idea after talking for a long time, she patted Han Chang's forehead, "Xiao Du and his parents looked at it. Isn't that kind of kind person? I heard that Xiao Du's grandparents also live with them, how is the old man's temper, is he easy to talk? Does he still look strong?"

Han's mother is also a wife and daughter-in-law. What kind of mother-in-law is a good mother-in-law, she has a reputation in her heart!

Compared with the good-natured Father Han, Han Chang's temper is more like Mother Han's, and he has been closer to Mother Han since he was a child, and he reported honestly, "Uncles and aunts seem to be very talkative, and no one deliberately picked our words today! As for Du Haoxuan's grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, how moist and moist the life was, and the old lady is still perming her little curly hair stylishly!"

I saw so many people at Du's house today, and if I had to say who the girls liked the most, there was no one more than "Grandma Du" with a loving smile on her face.

It's rare for Mother Han not to intervene, and the more she listens, the more satisfied her expression becomes. The old lady in her 70s perms her hair and is more fashionable than the young people. What does this prove? It proves that the Du family is wealthy!Also, the most important thing is that the prospective in-laws and the couple have good conduct!Otherwise, how can the life of the elderly be so nourishing?A couple who can take such good care of the elderly will definitely not be able to become the kind of cruel father-in-law and evil mother-in-law who deliberately make things difficult for their daughter-in-law.

"The elders in Du Haoxuan's family look good, and their bodies look tough. It should be said that they are old and strong. They don't look like people in their 70s at all. Even their tempers look very easy-going and funny." Although the elderly One by one, as shrewd as old foxes, have been tricked into talking so much inadvertently!Han Chang is not close to "grandma" and "grandma". Those old people in Du's family have the wisdom and kindness of the elders that Han Chang couldn't ask for. Han Chang likes to be close to those old people in Du's family!

Han Chang's narration is very to the point, without embellishment at all, Han's mother's face is full of joy, the old man is in good health, and the burden of the younger generation is light, good!

Then I heard Han Chang change the subject, and when he said two words, Han Mu's face froze, and her ears perked up, but what?

"It's just that Grandpa Du's temper seems to be a little cloudy, and it will change after a while!" Although Grandma Du promised that the old man's temper would follow his precious granddaughter, Han Chang still treated Du Grandpa's temper has lingering fears.

Han Mu pondered for a while, and concluded: "The old man's temper is a bit unpredictable? This is not a big deal! After all, you and the old man are separated from each other. If there is anything going on in the future, there will be Xiao Du Are his parents here?"

Hearing what Han Mu said, Han Chang also felt that he was making a fuss, so he added, "Well! Actually, it's not that serious. It's just that when the old man has a straight face, he looks quite scary. It should be because of his uncompromising temper!"

The mother and daughter communicated so much that they were silent for a while!

Father Han didn't interrupt just now, so he couldn't help but interrupt, "Xiao Chang, I just heard you say that there are some old men and women in Xiao Du's family. What's going on? Xiao Du's wife Grandpa and grandma are both still alive?" If that's the case, the Du family has four generations living under one roof!

What?How many old men and old ladies?Mother Han was too busy asking how the in-laws-to-be were doing, and didn't listen too carefully to what Han Chang said. Hearing her husband's question, she was a little stunned! [

"No! Those old men and women are all of the same generation," Han Chang said hesitantly, and the relationship between those old men and old women is still a little unclear. There are a total of five old men and three old ladies! It seems that one pair is the grandparents that Haoxuan's sister recognized in the early years, and another pair of old men are the grandparents and "grandma" of his sister's partner! As for The other two old men are the brothers of Grandpa Du, and the children are not around, so they live with Haoxuan and the others!"

What?There are eight elderly people in the family?Han's mother and Han's father didn't even hear the relationship between the old people that Han Chang introduced later. Just hearing this number is scary enough!

Han's father and Han's mother are usually the kind of parents who pay attention to precepts and deeds to their children, and they are not very willing to show the fright they just received.

Father Han smiled and comforted his daughter and said, "It's okay, as the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. Although there are many old people in the family, it may be a big burden in the future, but it sounds like Xiao Du's family should be very harmonious! Besides, Xiao Du also has many brothers. If you and Xiao Du are married, we will share equally in taking care of the elderly in the future! Xiao Chang, as a child and a junior, you must know how to be filial. what idea!"

Old men and old ladies don’t necessarily need us to support them!Han Chang pouted, but he didn't say that!After all, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future!

Although Han's mother wondered why she even recognized her god-grandfather, god-grandmother, and in-laws, her grandparents were also supported by the Du family, but she didn't say anything!After all, it's too early for unmarried men and women to say this!Besides, you can't teach your daughter not to support the elderly!

After being silent for a while, Han's mother added, "Your father is right, you must know how to be filial when you are a child and a junior! But, Xiao Chang, you have to remember that, you can't be filial! You can't be like your father, harming others. His wife and children suffer too!"

Father Han saw that his wife was talking about him again, and when he thought of the old man's mess, he felt guilty and resentful, so he stood up quickly and avoided, "It's already time, I'm going to make dinner!"

"Dad, Dad, shall we make cold cucumber and scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight?" Han Chang's younger brother Han Rui asked with a half cucumber stuffed in his mouth, sobbing.No one paid any attention to Han Rui just now, half a child surrounded the wattle basket that Han Chang brought back from Du's house and ate a tomato and half a cucumber by himself!

"You still have cucumbers in cold sauce. Where can daddy get cucumbers from you in winter?" Han's father didn't pay attention at first, and joked to his son. He was surprised when he heard the sound of Han Rui crunching and gnawing cucumbers, "Little Chang, you brought these vegetables back from the Du family when you were young."

Before Han Chang could answer, Father Han had already stepped forward to pick up the basket, "Son, Dad will make you cucumber salad tonight!"

"Hey!" Han Rui jumped two feet high and chirped like a little sparrow, "Dad, Dad, there are fungus and mushrooms, dried fish and dried shrimps! Also, I don't know what kind of meat Yes! Dad, you made it for me tonight!"

Because of the fund specially set up by Ya'er for veterans, veterans like Hu Tianshu and Meng Dezhu who have started buying and selling souvenirs are available from all over the world.Guo Xiaohai and the others are helping with sales in the capital, and now there is no need for Ya'er to sneak out of the space anymore, the Du family does not lack delicacies from mountains and seas!

Although the return gifts prepared by Grandma Du and Mama Du are not as decent as the presents brought by Han Chang and the others, they are more practical and healthy. In addition to these special products, each of them also has a can of tea, a jar of honey, and two bottles of health care. liquor!

As Han Rui said, he stuffed the small package that he had opened a long time ago into Father Han's arms, and said coquettishly.In addition to these delicious things, there are two jars of what I don't know!

Both father and son of the Han family were delicious, and the father and son went to the kitchen with a basket and a bag!

Mother Han shook her head, and then went on to interrogate Han Chang, "Xiao Chang, Xiao Du's house is really a kind of shed?" Although Mother Han didn't care much about what the prospective in-laws' house did, she also paid more attention to the city's household registration!

A greenhouse?Seeing that his parents were more satisfied with his future in-law's family, Han Chang felt a lot more relaxed. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, his family has a greenhouse, but they don't grow the greenhouses for sale, they grow them for food!"

"What? How big should Xiao Du's house be if you plant a greenhouse at home?" Mother Han was full of surprise. A sneeze can be heard clearly in other people's houses!

This time, Han Mu is not the only one discussing the same issue!

In the family building near the center of the inner city, in the family building on the innermost side, Zhu Shanshan on the first floor, Zhu Shanshan has already changed into her home clothes, and is also reporting to her family how she met her in-laws today!

"It's good for the elders to be kind and reasonable. As for the future, you still have to rely on your own efforts! By the way, you just said that Xiao Guo is now living with the old man in the Wujin compound in Houhai? Isn't Xiao Guo's hometown in the countryside? Can you buy it?" Can you afford that big courtyard? In the Qing Dynasty, all the nobles with red belts and yellow belts lived in that circle! Even after the Republic of China, people who could live anywhere were either rich or noble! However, in the first few days The annual movement was too powerful, and the people who were criticized the most were those who lived in that area, and many people's homes were destroyed, and many mansions were taken back by the "government"!"

Zhu's grandfather used to be a Juren in the late Qing Dynasty, and compared with ordinary people, he was considered somewhat powerful.Zhu's father grew up listening to the stories of his ancestors. He heard a lot about the Baylor Mansion and the Prince's Mansion!Moreover, Zhu's father also eats the bowl of the "government" yamen, so the focus of attention inevitably seems a bit powerful!

"It seems that I heard that the courtyard was the former Baylor Mansion!" Zhu Shanshan knew her father's character well, but her mother was too gentle. The home was bought by Dahai's cousin two years ago for the elderly!"

"Xiao Guo's cousin bought it? How old is his cousin? The old man must have paid for it! However, after all, Xiao Guo is only a grandson, and his surname is not Du. I don't think there will be Xiao Guo's share in that yard in the future!" Father Zhu Although there are some shrewdness honed in the officialdom, they still have integrity in their nature, and they don't want to use that shrewdness on their daughter and son-in-law.

Zhu Shanshan was not at ease. After all, she couldn't hold back her heartbeat when she saw the big house for the first time. In order not to cause trouble in the future, she added, "Dad, the surname of Dahai is Du, and he doesn't belong to him! The old man told us that every plant and tree in that yard belonged to his cousin Dahai!"

How could Father Zhu fail to see that the daughter whom he had brought up since childhood was playing tricks on him, so he couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Okay, don't fight with Dad! Even if Dad really fights for your family property, it's not for your own good! Since the little Guo himself is capable and can guarantee your children's food and clothing, so Dad doesn't want to be that bad guy!"

Being pointed out by her father, Zhu Shanshan was a little embarrassed, and called Dad in a tender voice!

Zhu's mother poured a glass of water for the father and daughter, and said in relief, "Shanshan, don't listen to your father's pity! Since Xiao Guo and his cousin bought the yard for the old man, let's not be jealous! The old man also said After getting married, it’s good to go out and live alone, so you don’t have to worry about it, and you don’t have conflicts! Just go back and see the old people on holidays and so on!”

The author has something to say: Well, procrastination gets worse the closer to holidays!If there is an accident, we will definitely guarantee that it will be updated every day!

However, this chapter is considered a long-haired gentleman, right?Is it right?

(Well, that’s right! Hold your chin up, look up at the sky, and talk to yourself!)
