Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 373 372. We Don't Drink Alcohol!
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Chen, and this classmate Yan, are you all there?" Xiang Jin's parents greeted them as soon as they got off the bus.

Yan Chen and Yan Fei called them one after the other, "Uncle Ouyang, Aunt Xia!"

Both the couple smiled and nodded towards them, then went to the trunk and took out some gifts from it.

Xiang Jin asked them, "Why are you here?"

Xiang Jin and her own mother Charlene said, "You child, have you forgotten that your mother told you the other day that she would come to see you, are your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo at home?"

Xiang Jinrang said, "Yes, they are cooking in the kitchen."

Yan Fei raised his hand and said, "I'll call for you!" After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen let them into the room, and then Yan Chen poured a glass of water for each of them, "Uncle and aunt, please drink water."

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin's parents took it, and then they all looked at the decorations in the room with smiles on their faces.

When they saw some remnants of flowers and plants on the table, Xiang Jin hurried up to tidy them up and said, "Oh, I just picked up some flower branches in the yard and came back to put them in vases, and I just put them back in the room You came here before I had time to clean up."

The smiles on the corners of her father's and mother's mouths grew stronger, and her mother Charlene said, "It's okay, your grandma and I often play with some flowers and plants in the house. Speaking of which, our mother and mother are really a little bit different on this point." It looks alike."

Xiang Jin twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and didn't know how to answer her words for a while, and her parents didn't mind, but her mother said again, "Will you intervene, mom will help you?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "Don't plug it in, it's already plugged in," and there are no bottles or jars.

At this moment, both Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo walked over quickly, and of course Yan Fei followed behind.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we were all in the kitchen next door just now, and there was a bit of noise there, so we didn't hear you when you came," Grandpa Zeng said first.

Grandma Mo also nodded with a smile.

Xiang Jin's parents quickly stood up from their seats, and then greeted them, saying hello to the elders, Xiang Jin's father said, "Uncle Zeng, Aunt Mo, I'm really sorry for disturbing you!"

"Oh, what are you talking about, why bother you? Sit down, sit down, sit down quickly, girl Jin, we like her very much, you are her parents, so you are not heretics, say those polite words." What?" Grandma Mo walked over, grabbed Xiang Jin's mother's arm and invited them to the sofa not far away, her face full of enthusiasm.

Xiang Jin's own mother also smiled shyly, and while holding Grandma Mo's hand, she responded "Oh, yes".

After the second elder welcomed them to the sofa and sat down, he talked with them for a while, and then Grandma Mo let them chat first, and she went to cook, and Xiang Jin's mother got up and said to help, Grandma Mo was naturally If she won't, let her continue to sit and rest, and at the same time ask Xiang Jin to stay with her parents and talk for a while.

Xiang Jin and her mother looked at each other, Xiang Jin hesitated, and Grandma Mo said, "Good boy, Grandma Mo knows what you mean, don't worry, Grandma Mo is busy."

Yan Chen also walked over to Xiang Jin and said, "Don't worry, there is me, I can help grandma."

Yan Fei hurriedly raised his hand and said, "And me, I can help too."

"you!!"

Meeting her suspicious eyes, Yan Chen felt a little uncomfortable, he turned his gaze away, "I may not be very good at cooking, but I can still cut and wash vegetables."

Yan Fei hurriedly said, "I can light a fire!"

This is the case, Xiang Jin thought in this way, she was about to nod, but saw Grandma Mo suddenly smiled at Yan Chen and Yan Fei, "You are all needed here, don't worry, I am alone It can be done, it’s only enough for a few people, when the country was building the Miyun Reservoir, some other sisters and I could make a meal for hundreds of people at one meal, why don’t we do it?”

"So many?" Xiang Jin and the others were surprised.

Grandma Mo said, "Isn't it? At that time, new water conservancy projects were being built all over the country, and they were all large projects. The labor force was relatively tight, and some family members of our troops also participated in it.

I was not strong enough to do the work on the construction site, so I was assigned to the food group and was responsible for three meals a day for those who were in charge of repairing the reservoir.

Because there are tens of thousands of people in Xiuna Reservoir, but those tens of thousands of people cannot eat in the same pot, so they are divided into groups of several hundred people as a unit, and then each group arranges living meals by itself, but each cooking class Only a dozen or so people are in charge, is there any more? "

"Oh, so the Miyun Reservoir was built artificially?" Yan Fei was surprised.

Grandma Mo said, "That's right, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big natural reservoir."

Yan Fei gave them a thumbs up, "Grandma Mo, you are so amazing, such a big artificial reservoir was built by your generation."

Grandma Mo nodded with nostalgia on her face, "People at that time were really powerful and suffered a lot. At that time, the country was still very poor, and people often ate their last meal without resting their next meal, but at that time The people here are just so driven.

At that time, it was not possible to use machines to dig a hole and transport the soil like now. At that time, it was all done by hand. Digging and picking were all done by labor, one hoe by one hoe, one pick by pick. "

Yan Fei asked again, "Then how many years has the Miyun Reservoir been built?"

Grandma Mo said, "Six years, it was repaired in six years, and then everyone disbanded. Some people went back to their hometowns and continued to grow crops at home, and some returned to their original units or were transferred to other local units. , well, let’s not talk so much, I’m going to cook, Chenchen, would you like to accompany your classmate?”

"okay!"

Grandpa Zeng was talking with Xiang Jin's father, so Xiang Jin was with her mother, and Yan Chen and Yan Fei couldn't get in the conversation between their mother and mother, so Yan Chen led Yan Chen. Fei went straight upstairs to his room.

After Xiang Jin talked with her mother for a while, her mother took the initiative and said, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen and see if your Grandma Mo needs any help?"

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded, and then led her to the kitchen next door.

When Grandma Mo saw it, she said, "Oh, why are you here? Girl Jin, hurry up, take your mother out quickly, and be careful to stain her clothes later."

Xiang Jin's mother hurried forward and held Grandma Mo's hand and said, "Auntie, it's okay, I asked Xiao Jin to bring me here, and I often cook at home, what else do you have to do here?" , I will do it with you, and I can talk to you for a while in the kitchen," she said, and began to look around.

Grandma Mo looked at Xiang Jin with some embarrassment, and Xiang Jin said, "Let her stay here, but let me do things like cooking?" She then looked at her mother, " Don't get involved today."

Her mother was taken aback, and Grandma Mo nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Well, that's fine," she said to Xiang Jin's mother again, "Girl Jin is very good at cooking, and she usually cooks for her. Let's make food, why don't you try her handicraft today?"

Xiang Jin's mother was very surprised, looking at Xiang Jin with happy and distressed eyes, Xiang Jin couldn't stand her gentle eyes that almost drowned her, so she explained to her unnaturally, "The main thing is I prefer to cook."

Her mother, Charlene, nodded, and then Xiang Jin walked up to Grandma Mo and said, "Grandma Mo, what do you plan to cook for lunch?"

Grandma Mo pointed to a Shau Kei ingredient on the chopping board and said, "Let's see how to serve it?"

Xiang Jin took out the ingredients one by one from the Shau Kei, and then he knew it in his heart, and then told Grandma Mo how they should prepare this meal for lunch today.

Grandma Mo nodded, and then asked again, "Then those lotus root that your classmates brought up, do you want to make a dish and try it?"

Xiang Jin said, "Why don't you make cold lotus root or stir-fried lotus root? Grandma Mo, I think Yan Fei brought a lot of lotus root today, and all of them are tender roots. It's summer now. They can’t be stored for a long time, or we can take them all out in the afternoon and make lotus root dumplings, then freeze them in the refrigerator and eat them later.”

Grandma Mo looked at her with a smile on her face, "Yes, I will listen to you."

Xiang Jin's mother also looked at her, and saw that she and Grandma Mo got along so harmoniously, naturally, and kindly, she couldn't express her envy and longing in her heart, so she said, "Auntie, why don't I peel that lotus root?" skin?"

Grandma Mo wanted to refuse to explain how this happened, but Xiang Jin said one step ahead of her, "Grandma Mo, let my mother help, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable staying here."

Grandma Mo and Charlene suddenly heard her call her mother, and they were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, especially Xiang Jin's mother, Xia Lin, her eyes were red, she kept looking at Xiang Jin and nodded, "Oh, auntie, just let me Stay here and do something?"

Grandma Mo felt a little uncomfortable after seeing Xiang Jin calling that "Mom", so she kept nodding her head, "Oh, okay," so she went to find her a peeler. Dao, what she was thinking in her heart was that the mother and daughter had just met each other, and they had to strike while the iron was hot, so that the two of them could get along with each other more, otherwise what should I do if the girl is too thin-skinned and stops shouting? ?
Charlene took the paring knife, nodded to Grandma Mo with a grateful expression, and then asked Grandma Mo where is the lotus root?
Xiang Jin brought the bag of lotus root to her, then found her a small bench, and fetched half a basin of clean water for her and put it in front of her so that she could sit and peel the lotus root. Then put the peeled lotus root into the clear water basin to soak.

When her mother saw this coherent movement of hers, her heart immediately became very warm. Not only was her whole face smiling, but her eyes were also full of joy.

Grandma Mo was also very happy to see this loving scene.

After Xiang Jin finished all this, she returned to the chopping board and began to process the ingredients.

Xiang Jin's mother raised her head to look at Xiang Jin almost every time she cut off a piece of lotus root. Looking at her skilled knife skills and her earnest expression, Xiang Jin's mother almost drowned in her eyes.

Seeing this, Grandma Mo added another big firewood to the stove and whispered to Xiang Jin's mother, "The child is capable, and the level of cooking is also very good. Like many dishes we I haven’t seen it, I haven’t tasted it, and this kid taught us.”

Charlene asked, "Why is she so good at cooking?"

Grandma Mo said, "This child is smart. She usually likes to read some miscellaneous books after studying, especially about food and beverages. She has a good memory. Basically, she can remember the contents of the books she has read, so whenever she has In her spare time, she will study food.

This child is kind-hearted and knows how to be grateful. Every time she cooks something delicious, she will ask us to taste it with her Aunt Liao. We have enjoyed a lot of good food with her. "

Xiang Jin's mother looked at Xiang Jin and nodded with a smile. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the happier she was. She didn't expect their girl to be so powerful and outstanding.

Not only is she smart, she has good academic performance, but also has a particularly good memory. The most important thing is that she has a grateful heart. This is what makes them most gratified and satisfied. The pride comes.

This is her daughter, born to her, her own daughter, she never thought that she would make them feel at ease and at ease, and not worry them at all.

Because of Xiang Jin's presence, Grandma Mo automatically handed over the cooking to her, and she was only responsible for raising the fire and cooking the pot.

Xiang Jin didn't expect that the meat ingredients he and Yan Chen bought the day before yesterday would be used today. Apart from the beef they marinated yesterday, Xiang Jin also cooked ten other dishes and one soup, among which There are dishes made of fresh meat and dishes made of bacon.

But there are only two dishes of bacon, one of fried cured fish with green peppers, one of boiled sausage, fresh meat, besides one of Kung Pao chicken, one of beer roasted duck, one of Dongpo elbow, one of sweet and sour pork ribs, one of Lizhuang white meat, and celery Fragrant dried bone meat, the rest is a vegetable stir-fried vegetables and cold lotus root slices, but the soup is a relatively simple cucumber preserved egg soup.

Looking at the chopping board filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, Xiang Jin's own mother was very proud and excited, and the eyes that looked at Xiang Jin were also eager. Her daughter is really capable. , more capable than she imagined.

When the food was on the table, Xiang Jin went upstairs to call Yan Chen and the others to come down to eat. Yan Fei swallowed uncontrollably when he saw the table full of delicious food, wow, so rich?

After several hours of communicating and getting along, Xiang Jin's parents have obviously gotten to know Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo a lot, so everyone was a lot more casual when they were seated and ready to eat, unlike when they just started. It was so polite and unfamiliar when we met.

Grandpa Zeng asked Xiang Jin's parents, "I'll get you some wine you want to drink? We have red wine, white wine, and beer at home?"

Grandma Mo also got up and said, "What do you want to drink?"

Xiang Jin's mother grabbed Grandma Mo and said, "Auntie, don't, we don't drink!"

"Huh?! Why don't you guys drink alcohol? I heard that girl Jin's father works in a government department, so the usual entertainment should be indispensable?" Grandma Mo looked at Xiang Jin's father with a look of disbelief.

Xiang Jin's father smiled and said, "It's the real aunt, I'm allergic to alcohol."

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng said suddenly, "Oh, look at our memory, girl Jin is also allergic to alcohol, but we forgot about it, and forgot that you father and daughter have this inheritance."

"Then don't eat this beer duck," Xiang Jin said, changing the direction of the beer duck, "Except for this dish, other dishes are non-alcoholic, so you can eat them all."

Xiang Jin's father looked at her with a smile on his face, and Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng also laughed.

"Come, come, let's move, let's eat," followed Grandpa Zeng and raised his chopsticks to invite everyone.

So everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat their favorite dishes. The first chopstick dish that Yan Chen picked up was Xiang Jin's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. He put it into her bowl with a smile, "It's been hard work today, eat more!"

Xiang Jin was startled, then tilted his head and gave him a slight smile, then stretched out his chopsticks and spread out a dish for him, "Hey, this is your favorite fried pork with dried bones. "

As soon as she looked up, she saw her mother looking at the two of them with a smile on her face, so Xiang Jin quickly stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of Li Zhuangbai meat and put it into Yan Fei's bowl, "That Yan Fei, will you try this again?!"

Yan Fei didn't know why, and then nodded vigorously, "Thank you, thank you, but Xiang Jin, you can eat by yourself, I know it myself!"

"Well, good!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly at him, and then pretended to be calm and started to eat silently.

"Hey, girl, eat?" At this moment, Grandma Mo greeted Xiang Jin's mother.

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin's mother replied.

After lunch, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen helped Grandma Mo clean up the tableware, and Xiang Jin's mother quietly asked Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin, does your great-grandfather usually like to drink?" Did they come today? Bring wine, you can make it up another day.

Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo don't usually drink."

Her mother was puzzled, "Then why do they have so much wine?" There was red wine, white wine, and beer.

Xiang Jin explained to her, "Grandpa Zeng has high blood pressure, so he doesn't usually drink alcohol. Many of those wines, such as red wine and white wine, were brought to them by Yan Chen's grandfather, and he didn't bring them for them. It was Yan Chen’s grandfather who had a lot of wine, and usually he couldn’t finish it, so he brought some for Yan Chen and his grandparents to entertain guests at that time. As for the beer, it was the last time Uncle Tao came. When I bought one, I hadn’t finished it yet, so there are a few bottles left.”

"Oh, is that so?" Xiang Jin's mother nodded, "I thought your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo usually liked to drink, and I thought about bringing them a few bottles of wine next time."

Xiang Jin said, "That's not necessary. Oh, by the way, do you want to take a nap? If you want to, I'll take you upstairs to my room to rest?"

Xiang Jin's mother shook her head, "No, Mom is not sleepy, so she doesn't need to take a nap. By the way, Xiao Jin, why don't you go back with your parents for a few days today?"

Xiang Jin stopped cleaning the dining table, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I still can't do it. In a few days, Yan Chen and I will go back to school to start making up lessons. Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao The vegetables at home are growing fast now, I am here, and I can still help them for a few days.

For example, the mushrooms in Grandma Mo’s house must be picked every day, otherwise the elders will grow bad, and the price will not be able to be sold. Not to mention other things, I can cook for them in the morning, so that they will not be harvested. After breakfast in the morning, I have to drag my tired body home to cook by myself.

Don't think Yan Chen is so smart and capable, and his grades are good, but he really doesn't have any talent in cooking. At most, he just washes and cuts vegetables, and that's all. "

Her mother was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing this, she couldn't help laughing, "Just like your father, every time your father cooks a dish, he either makes a mess of the kitchen, or he can make the kitchen clean." Burned."

Xiang Jin also laughed, and then heard her mother say again, "Okay then, next time, I will go to school with your father to see you."

Xiang Jin said, "Actually, there is no need. I mean, if you are busy, you don't need to visit me so frequently. I can call you when the time comes."

Her mother said, "It's okay, father and mother still have rest time every week."

"Oh!"

Then her mother pulled her back and asked in a low voice, "The money my mother gave you last time, did you buy something for your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo?"

Xiang Jin said, "I bought some vegetables."

Her mother nodded, "Well, I still need to buy some things. Although your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo don't care about those, but you live here, we can't lose courtesy."

"I know!"

Following her mother, she said, "Actually, your brother really wanted to see you, but because he offended you a lot last time, he felt a little ashamed to come to see you, and he was afraid that you wouldn't pay attention to him after seeing you." He, give him no face."

Xiang Jin said, "Who cares so much about his feelings? You really are a proud young master!"

Her mother laughed, "He has a problem with that, so your father, me, and your grandma all said that he deserved it! It's okay, let him learn a good lesson again, so as not to save him in the future. You can't do things without talking about your brain!"

Xiang Jin whimpered, and didn't want to say anything more to Ouyang Bo. Her mother also saw that she was a tough girl and didn't like her son very much, so she changed the subject.
