Nowadays, when visiting relatives, the telephone is not as common as it was a few years ago. Before going to someone's house, you always call in advance to inform them. Instead, just pack up and go.
Sometimes when you can't find anyone in a place, you have to ask your neighbors. Sometimes it happens that a relative is visiting a relative's house and being rejected is not a new thing.
It is different from visiting other relatives' homes, basically carrying a box of milk or other supplements in urban and rural areas. When the daughter goes to her parents' house, in addition to some supplement gifts, most of them will buy some vegetables to take with them. And these dishes are basically meat-based.
So simply buy some fruits and cut a few kilograms of meat. This is the standard preparation for rural girls who go to their parents' homes. If your family is rich and you want to make more gifts, you can get two more eggs and a big fish, which will make you feel generous.
Therefore, visiting relatives in the Yang family is not exempt from this cliché. Of course, high-end supplements are definitely not available. Compared with the gifts prepared for some younger relatives, they are all cosmetics, jewelry and other things that young people like.
There is no point in giving these things to the elderly. It is better to buy more supplements so that they can take good care of their bodies. So every time Yang Dongxu came back from an outing, he would send a lot of supplements to his grandparents here.
Yang's mother is a sister of four and has no elder brother or younger brother, so Yang Dongxu has no biological uncle. Fortunately, my grandpa got married and had a family. Although my grandma and grandpa had no children, my aunt's family was so close to Houzhuang and it was easy to take care of her.
Grandpa Yang Dongxu's house was not a two-story building that is popular nowadays. Originally, Yang's mother wanted to build it for her parents. She only had to pay for it and the other sisters could express their feelings.
But grandma and grandpa didn't let it be built. They just pushed the old house and built three strong large tile-roofed houses with cement. When you are older, it is inconvenient to live in a high-rise building. It is better to build a few tile-roofed houses and create a yard to live comfortably. You can also feed some sheep and chickens in the side house and live a comfortable life.
The supplements were sent directly to the back room. These things are relatively valuable. If they are left outside and picked up by that naughty child, they will affect the mood of the family even if they don't care.
In addition to supplements such as chicken, fish, meat and eggs, which are obviously indispensable, Yang’s mother also bought a refrigerator for her parents. The elders don't have to worry about electricity bills or anything like that. Sometimes the daughters just pay them when they come to see the elders.
Sometimes my grandpa would do it for me. After all, this little money is nothing to anyone. Besides, as long as grandpa and grandma are in good health, it doesn’t matter if they spend more money.
The human meat she brought was definitely too much to eat in one meal. In addition to bringing a bag of big stick bones to make soup for the old man to replenish his body, Yang’s mother also bought more than 20 kilograms of meat. The carnivorous pig sat The plates are full of good meat.
Although grandma and grandpa are older, their teeth are still good. There are a few fillings in the front front teeth, but most of the big teeth in the back are still there, so it’s okay to eat some meat that’s mushy.
"What are these things, why are they stuffed inside?" After cutting some meat for the lunch, Yang's mother skillfully cut the remaining meat into several pieces and prepared to freeze them under the refrigerator for her parents to eat slowly. , but when I opened the refrigerator, I saw that it was full of various things.
Forget it if the frozen meat is some chicken, duck or fish. The weather is too hot to put these things away. But there are still a lot of popsicles in the freezer below, and there are even some watermelon and corn, which makes people frown.
Although my grandma and grandpa are in good health, they are old after all. It is okay to freeze the chicken, fish, meat and eggs before thawing them and then cooking them. But these frozen watermelon popsicles are obviously not theirs. It couldn't be from my grandpa's house. He has his own refrigerator.
When she opened the upper layer of the refrigerator, she saw that Yang's mother was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. There were bags of eggs and other bits and pieces stuffed full of them. At first glance, these eggs did not belong to grandma and grandpa. From the chicken.
Because my grandpa and grandma’s family had chickens to feed themselves, the sisters came to see the old man. Although I am afraid that the elderly will not be willing to eat eggs, I occasionally buy some eggs and bring them here, but it is impossible to fill the refrigerator so full.
"Ah, the third child's family is visiting relatives again."
"This is your little grandson, he's white, fat and plump."
"That's not bad. I don't recognize life."
Before the things here were packed and put into the house, a lot of people came from the neighbors.
Some of them came to the refrigerator and picked something from it while talking and laughing, but their smiles were a bit awkward, and they left the room without saying a few words.
Next, many people moved towards the refrigerator, and within a short while, the originally full refrigerator was completely empty in an instant.
That's right!
It means that it is completely empty, which means that all the things in the refrigerator were frozen in it by neighbors taking advantage of them, and none of them belonged to my grandparents.
"Where did you put the fish I gave you before? Have you finished eating it?" Yang's mother asked with a frown.
"It's all frozen at your uncle's place. In addition to the refrigerator, your uncle also has a pretty big freezer." The grandma next to him said with a smile.
Compared to my grandpa, who is not called Xilan Xiao Wenchen, my grandma loves Zhou Ya very much. Every time Zhou Ya came, grandma would talk to her for a long time.
Seeing that my mother didn't care, she seemed very happy. Yang Ma didn't know what to say for a while. Among the neighbors who had said this and the atmosphere was very lively, no one dared to look at Yang Ma at this time.
"Grandpa, I'm going to my grandpa's house to have a look." Yang Dongxu called to his grandpa while carrying a few boxes of gifts nearby.
"Go, come back early for dinner, call your grandpa and his family over, and tell them not to cook at noon." Grandpa was holding a small bamboo basket in his hand, accompanying Wen Chen to pick up eggs from the chicken coop. The grandson has no thoughts about his grandson.
"I know." Yang Dongxu responded. Zhou Ya had to go alone if he wanted to talk to his grandma.
With so much clutter stuffed into the refrigerator, my grandma’s refrigerator ended up being something shared by everyone else. To be honest, Yang Dongxu was quite angry at first. This incident was obviously about bullying his grandfather and grandma into being kind.
But I saw that grandpa and grandma didn't care, and they were happy because they could help others. He could only sigh and say nothing. As long as the old man was happy, nothing else mattered.
"Xu Zi is here. I heard from the neighbor that you are here. I was about to go there. Your uncle ignored the call and went to repair the car. I asked him to bring some food when he comes back. Eat here at noon and don't go back." When I came to my little grandpa, he was about to go out, "Come here, why do you bring so many things?"
Compared with the three large tile-roofed houses at grandma's house, which already look very good, the small building at grandpa's house is undoubtedly much more impressive.
Because most of the two-story buildings in rural areas now have stairs that look like a tube building on the outside. But the small building in my uncle's house is completely a small villa.
Although there is no lawn or garden that looks very naughty to rural people. Although some flowers are planted in the yard and some greening is done, except for the cement floor, most of the other places are planted with peppers, green onions and the like, which are very down-to-earth. gas.
But this kind of building is definitely the most beautiful in rural areas. Many people of the older generation call such a house a bungalow. After all, people in the past were very poor, but foreign countries were indeed developed.
So when you encounter something good, you always add the word "foreign" in front of it to describe it. For example, if kerosene is not called kerosene, it is called foreign oil, bicycles are not called bicycles, but instead called foreign cars, and there are also other names such as match.
"Not all of these things were bought by me, many of them were bought by my aunt." Yang Dongxu smiled and carried the things into the house.
When my little grandpa was called to repair his car, it didn't mean that he opened a repair shop. As a person who owns the first generation of sports cars in this area, many minor problems with trucks have to be repaired by the company. There are no repair shops in the county below.
So gradually my grandpa learned to repair the car by himself, and he had to go to the city for major parts. After all, although he knew where the car's problems were, he didn't rely on a repair shop to get the parts. Small problems can basically be solved.
They didn't charge any money, and my grandpa wouldn't refuse two packs of cigarettes to those who were discerning. Even the more discerning ones would treat them to a meal or something. Compared to an honest and honest farmer like my grandpa, my little grandpa is very happy in this place. Even if no one asks for help, there are still wine shops to greet him every day.
"That damn girl, I don't know how long it's been since I came back to see you." She said that her daughter's grandmother got angry.
However, compared to the past few years when I couldn't help but shed tears when I said this, my resistance has obviously increased by several levels in recent years. I was definitely angry, but I finally held back my tears.
"My aunt is in Europe. Something happened at the Yang Family Banquet, so she didn't come back this time. But she should be fine and come back on November.
At that time, Ran Hao will not have to go to school for the holidays. At that time, I will let my aunt take you two elders and your family for a walk outside and visit the great rivers and mountains of our motherland. "Yang Dongxu said with a smile as he put the gift into the room.
"You've never seen anything at your age, why are you spending so much money?"
This is a colloquial saying often spoken by the older generation. In addition to this sentence, there is another sentence: 'What haven't you eaten in your age? This is for you to eat. '
But the older generation actually lives in the most materially impoverished generation in China. Even older people, let alone going out for a walk, probably don’t even mention the provinces in the farthest places. There are many Not even out of the county.
"My aunt is rich, why don't I spend more money on her?" Yang Dongxu joked.
After chatting for a few more words, Yang Dongxu asked the little grandma to close the door and go to her house. The little grandma asked him to go back first. She called the little grandpa first to see if he could come back at noon.
Yang Dongxu had just left the door of his grandfather's house when a car stopped at the door.
"Hey, brother, you are here to visit relatives today, what a coincidence!" A man with a big back got out of the car. His eyes lit up when he saw him and he got out of the car and handed him a cigarette.
Then the door on the other side opened, and a young woman who was dressed very fashionably and had wavy hair walked out. She also smiled at him with a little surprise on her face.
The man was none other than Qian Hai, the grandson of the second aunt's family and the youngest son of the eldest cousin's family. The young woman in the car was his wife Zhao Ru, who had just been married for more than half a year.
