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

Chapter 259 Meeting

Grandpa Shen rarely went to the fields today and was currently cleaning up the yard;

The foam cartons used for packaging are neatly stacked in the corner. Net covers, sponges, tapes, etc. are also packed in the cartons and placed neatly on the shelves;

The cement floor in the yard was also washed by the old man with water, and even the somewhat worn red tricycle was cleaned clean;

The small yard, which was originally a little messy, has been made clean and tidy;

Grandpa Shen was holding a water pipe to water the grape vines and some potted flowers in the corner, and said to Shen Qiuqiu: "Xiaohua, please bring the car in, and I will wash it on the way."

There were foam boxes piled up in the yard, and it seemed a bit crowded when the van came in;

So Shen Qiuqiu has been parking her car on the roadside in front of her house recently. The road is very wide, and no cars usually pass by, so it won't affect anyone;

Shen Qiuqiu sent a WeChat message to Jiang Jincheng, put away her phone and replied: "Grandpa, let's wash the car next time. Let's clean it up. Uncle Jiang and the others will be here soon."

Liu Qinghui had said before that she wanted to visit the strawberry garden, so she made an appointment today to come over in the afternoon and pick strawberries in the strawberry garden before having dinner;

Grandma Shen leaned forward and glanced at the wall clock on the kitchen wall, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's already three o'clock! My ribs haven't been stewed yet, and the braised pork hasn't been cooked yet!"

"It's still early, don't be in a hurry." Shen Qiuqiu poked the big crab in the basin, wondering where to cut it open.

Grandma Shen frowned and looked at her granddaughter from head to toe: black T-shirt, jeans, canvas shoes;

It's not ugly, it's just too plain.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. How can you meet guests like this?"

While pushing Shen Qiuqiu into the room, Grandma Shen warned: "The weather is nice today. Let's change into a skirt. The girl still looks good in a skirt. Comb her hair again, put on makeup, and make herself look prettier."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Qiuqiu responded with a smile;

Even if grandma didn't tell her, she wouldn't wear work clothes to meet Jiang Jincheng's parents;

Whether you look good or not is secondary. Dressing appropriately is also a sign of respect for the other person;

There was nothing we could do about the hasty meeting last time, so this time we had to dress up properly to leave a good impression on Jiang Jincheng's parents.

Shen Qiuqiu sat in front of the dressing table, her long, slightly curly hair combed into a simple bun;

Apply a thin layer of air cushion on the face, briefly outline the eyebrows, and then apply coral red lip glaze. Simple and energetic no-makeup makeup is easily accomplished;

Then, she found a light blue floral dress with a baby doll collar and put it on in the closet. The length reached to her calf, and she paired it with a pair of white shoes;

The simple and elegant style and the fresh and elegant color scheme make the whole person sweet, gentle and playful.

Shen Qiuqiu changed her clothes and came out, and found that her grandparents had also changed into new clothes;

Grandpa Shen put on a dark blue thin Tang suit; Grandma Shen wore a pink and purple Tang suit shirt with black pants, and her gray hair was meticulously combed into a bun behind her head;

Shen Qiuqiu bought these two new clothes last month, and the couple kept them in the wardrobe and were reluctant to wear them; today they took the initiative to wear them.

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and praised, "Grandma looks really good today, and grandpa looks very energetic in this outfit; you should wear new clothes, otherwise they will become old clothes at the bottom of the box."

Every time the season changes, she will take the initiative to buy some new clothes for her family. The old couple are used to being thrifty. When the old clothes are torn, they patch them up and continue to wear them, but the new clothes are always kept in the wardrobe and they are reluctant to wear them.

"I can't bear to wear such a nice piece of clothing to work. I'll just wear it when meeting guests today, and I'll hang it back in the closet tomorrow."

Grandma Shen stretched out her clothes, found a clean apron to tie on, and went to work in the kitchen again;

Shen Qiuqiu shook her head and laughed, and also tied an apron and processed the seafood she bought;

She has already thought about how to cook the seafood;

Grouper is steamed; prawns are boiled; abalone can be added to braised pork to make abalone braised pork; flower crabs are used to cook seafood porridge; as for oysters, they can be made into charcoal-grilled oysters;

The method is very simple, and there are tutorials on the Internet, so you can learn it at a glance.

Shen Qiuqiu sat in the yard brushing abalone and opening oysters;

The courtyard door was wide open, and the sound of a car engine came from outside;

Shen Qiuqiu looked towards the door and saw Jiang Jincheng's car slowly parked on the side of the road.

"Grandpa and grandma, the guests are here."

Shen Qiuqiu said something to her grandparents in the kitchen, then stood up and went out to greet them;

When the old couple heard the noise, they quickly walked out of the kitchen. Outside the door, Liu Qinghui helped Grandma Jiang out of the car;

Jiang Jincheng and Jiang Yuan were taking things from the trunk, their hands full;

Fruit gift boxes, health supplements, tobacco, alcohol, tea, and a three-year-old ham.

It can be seen that the Jiang family attaches great importance to this meeting, and they dress very formally;

Grandma Jiang wore a maroon Tang suit cheongsam, Liu Qinghui wore a black lace dress, Jiang Yuan wore a Chinese tunic suit, and Jiang Jincheng wore a decent black suit.

Facing Jiang Jincheng's parents, Shen Qiuqiu was still a little uncomfortable, but he took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, grandma, hello, uncle and aunt."

Liu Qinghui hugged her affectionately, with a smile in her eyes, "Xiaohua is so beautiful today, and the color of this skirt suits you very well."

Jiang Jincheng looked up, his eyes full of surprise;

Due to the presence of the elders, the two did not speak. They looked at each other for a moment and then separated, but their hearts were full of sweetness.

Grandma Shen stepped forward to hold Grandma Jiang's arm affectionately, and greeted her with a smile, "Sister, come on, sit in the room."

Liu Qinghui held Shen Qiuqiu's arm, Grandma Shen held Grandma Jiang's arm, and several men followed behind with things;

A group of people entered the courtyard talking and laughing.

In the main room, the coffee table was filled with fruit snacks. Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen greeted the guests with smiles on their faces;

Shen Qiuqiu took out the tea leaves from the cabinet, made a few cups of tea with boiled well water and brought it over;

As she got closer, she heard Jiang Jincheng's mother pulling her grandmother to talk.

"I fell in love with this child Xiaohua as soon as I saw her. Our family Xiaocheng is really lucky to have found such a good girl like her in eight lifetimes."

"Xiao Cheng is also a good boy, sensible and filial. There are not many young men as practical and capable as him nowadays."

"Oh, they are both good children. When they become a family, it will be even better."

The elders said something to each other, praising each other's children;

The atmosphere in the room was very good, everyone had a cheerful smile on their face;

On the other hand, the two protagonists couldn't really get a word in, so they just sat quietly aside.

After talking for a while, Grandma Shen suddenly remembered the pork ribs stewed on the stove. She quickly stood up and said, "You guys sit and watch TV for a while. There is still something stewed on the stove. I'll go over and take a look."

Hearing this, Grandma Jiang also stood up and followed her, "I smelled the fragrance as soon as I came in. What good food did you cook? I'll go and have a look too."

Grandpa Shen also greeted Jiang Yuan, "I heard from Xiao Jiang that you are very good at chess. I can also play chess a little. Can we win two games?"

"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed, and he and Grandpa Shen set up a chessboard under the grape trellis in the yard.

Everyone left, leaving only Liu Qinghui, Shen Qiuqiu and Jiang Jincheng in the room;

Liu Qinghui ignored her son and only talked to Shen Qiuqiu;

"Xiaohua, what do you usually like to do?"

"Xiaohua, where did you go to university and what major did you major in?"

"Xiaohua, your brother is going to take the college entrance examination this year. How is his study going?"

Shen Qiuqiu gradually couldn't cope with it, and was afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward and boring, so she took the initiative to suggest, "Auntie, the sun has gone down a little now and is not shining as much. I will take you to the fields to pick strawberries."

"Okay." Liu Qinghui agreed happily.

Shen Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
