After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 258 Open Heart

Tianshui County is an inland area, not close to the sea, and does not produce seafood, so locals rarely have access to fresh seafood;

Shen Qiuqiu also saw the link forwarded by Yan Xiaomin in Moments a few days ago and learned that a new Fuyuan seafood and aquatic products store had opened in the county;

Common seafood such as grouper, prawns, abalone, oysters, flower crabs, razor clams, etc. are all available, and the prices are not too expensive.

Shen Qiuqiu took her grandparents to an island trip before. It was the first time for the couple to eat seafood, and they were a little uncomfortable with it at first. After two meals, the taste became obvious;

Grandma likes to eat boiled shrimps and seafood porridge; Grandpa likes to eat charcoal-grilled oysters, and can eat seven or eight in one sitting;

Thinking that it was the oyster season recently and she would like to treat guests at home, Shen Qiuqiu ordered some seafood in advance on WeChat;

The trouble is, the merchant doesn't deliver, so you have to drive to the county to pick it up yourself.

As soon as Shen Qiuqiu arrived in the county, Jiang Jincheng called.

"Qiuqiu, I've arrived in Qianfeng, I just got off the highway." After driving for more than four hours, my voice was dry and hoarse, and I was a little tired.

Shen Qiuqiu glanced at the time on the dashboard. It was only half past one, which meant that he had set off at around nine in the morning.

"Why are you here so early? I'm still buying groceries in Tianshui."

"My mother started urging me at seven o'clock in the morning. She said I can't be late when I go to your house for the first time, and I can't be rude. She asked me to come back early." Jiang Jincheng pinched his eyebrows sleepily, but there was a smile in his voice that he couldn't hide. meaning.

"It's still early. My grandma is still killing chickens at home. Nothing is ready. Don't go there yet. You go back to grandma's house to rest for a while. I'll tell you when I get back."

Shen Qiuqiu's lips curved slightly, and she turned on the turn signal to find a parking space on the side of the road.

The sound of the turn signal "click-click" came from the receiver;

Jiang Jincheng listened quietly for a while, and he didn't speak again until the sound of the engine stalling was heard from the other side;

"My mother can be overly enthusiastic sometimes. She didn't want you to meet too soon, for fear that you would be stressed."

After a pause, he considered it and said: "Qiuqiu, I pursue you and be with you just because I like you and want to be with you;

It’s not because of the urging of parents and elders to get married, nor is it because when you reach the age of starting a family, getting married and having children, you just find someone to live with;

Before I met you, I never had the idea of ​​spending the rest of my life with one person; after I met you, that person could only be you;

Saying these words now may be a bit presumptuous and abrupt, I hope I haven’t scared you;

I'm stupid and may not express myself well... I just want to express my position and thoughts to you.

We have just started and we still have a lot of time together. You can slowly get to know me before you decide whether you want to spend the rest of your life with me;

You don't need to make a decision in a hurry, don't worry about what your elders think, and don't feel pressured. Just treat it as two families getting to know each other and having a simple meal today. "

Although it has not yet reached the point of discussing marriage, the formal meeting between the two elders also has special significance, and some things must be made clear in advance;

Otherwise, my grandma and mother may be too enthusiastic and may scare away my shy and sensitive girlfriend.

At this time, Shen Qiuqiu was sitting in the car and listening quietly;

Her face was crimson, like peach blossoms in spring.

After waiting for a long time without a response, Jiang Jincheng suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Qiuqiu, are you listening?"

"Yes." Shen Qiuqiu responded in a low voice and said in a confused manner, "Jiang Jincheng, be more confident."

"Huh?" Jiang Jincheng was puzzled.

"cough."

Shen Qiuqiu cleared her throat, and wanted to imitate him in saying some love words to express her feelings, but when the words came to her lips, she felt a little embarrassed to say them out.

After holding it in for a long time, she finally spoke.

“I have always been a little slow in terms of emotions, and I may not have as deep a feeling as you;

But I know my own feelings. I like you, so I want to chat with you, eat, go shopping, go to the movies with you, sit quietly with you in a daze...I want to be with you all the time, want to be with you. Do lots and lots of things.

I'm insensitive to feelings, not stupid. If I didn't identify with you, I wouldn't be with you. Your mother's enthusiasm did put a little pressure on me, but I can understand the mood of the elders, so I didn't feel disgusted or repelled;

Also, I didn’t spend much time with my parents when I was young; so now I don’t know how to get along with your parents, and it may take some time to slowly adapt.

I know what this meal means tonight, and I'm excited to introduce my family to yours, and hope they get along well, and as for the rest...

Let's just let nature take its course, okay? "

Jiang Jincheng on the other end of the phone held back the joy in his heart and responded with a smile: "Okay."

This is the first time since the two confirmed their relationship that they have opened up and talked about emotional issues like this;

Now that we are talking about it, the relationship between the two seems to be closer.

"Well, then I'm going to buy groceries. See you later."

"Drive safely, see you soon."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and hung up the phone and walked to the farmer's market.

Now that everyone's living conditions have improved, everyone is willing to spend money to try something new, and this newly opened aquatic product store is doing particularly good business;

Shen Qiuqiu stood at the door and waited for a while before getting the seafood she ordered;

One grouper, two flower crabs, three pounds of prawns, three pounds of abalone, five pounds of oysters; these items cost a total of more than 600 yuan.

Knowing that Shen Qiuqiu's home was far away, the proprietress kindly added water and oxygen to the bag, saying that this would keep the fish and shrimp alive.

Fifty minutes later, Shen Qiuqiu returned to Qinghe Village.

When I opened the bag, I saw that the shrimps inside were still alive and kicking, and the fish were also blowing bubbles.

Grandma Shen came over and took a look at the four or five bags of fish, shrimps and crabs, "Why did you buy so many? It costs a lot of money, right?"

Shen Qiuqiu didn't dare to tell the truth, so she just answered vaguely, "Not much money."

Grandma Shen sighed, knowing that these things were definitely not cheap, so she thought about it but didn't say anything.

Shen Qiuqiu poured all the seafood in the bag into the big basin;

Most of the pots were filled.

Then Grandma Shen looked at the pile of fish, shrimps and crabs in the basin and felt worried.

"Xiaohua, how do you make this thing? I've never done it before."

"It's very simple. I'll do it later."

In fact, Shen Qiuqiu has never made it before. As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and started looking up the recipe.

The orange cat smelled the fishy smell of seafood, and rushed over meowing from nowhere. Its restless claws were about to scratch into the basin, but Shen Qiuqiu slapped it away;

Little Orange purred a few times and rubbed its furry head directly against Shen Qiuqiu;

Poor.

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head and laughed, took a shrimp from the basin and threw it to it.

The orange cat jumped up quickly to catch it, turned around and ran up to the roof.
