She is cute and has a thousand layers of routines

Chapter 306
Inside the farmers market.

There are still six or seven days until the New Year, and there are many more people who come to buy vegetables than usual, and there is an endless stream, which is very lively.

Someone walks up to a certain fish stall.

"Sister, how do you sell this perch?"

"28 yuan." Ruan Xiulian squatted on the ground, quickly killing a black fish that the customer asked for, and replied briefly.

"It's so expensive, isn't it usually only 20 yuan a catty?"

"Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it must be a little more expensive than usual, and our purchase price is also expensive... Now that the price is the same, my family is considered cheap."

"Okay, give me one."

"Come right away, master, your fish." Ruan Xiulian handed the black fish to the guest on the side, then turned to catch a bass, "Two taels a catty, it's 33 yuan for you."

In the afternoon, the fish pond was almost empty.

Ruan Xiulian wiped her hands that were red from the cold water on her apron, and said with a smile, "There are still a few fish. If you sell them, you can take them home. I won't come tomorrow, until the Chinese New Year!"

"Did you rest so early this year?" Old Hu next to him wondered, "Aren't you going to do business in the next few days?"

This time of year is the best time for market business. Although it is tiring, one day’s income is equivalent to the usual three or four days. Therefore, vendors often do not officially rest until the morning of the 29th or [-]th of the Chinese New Year. .

Ruan Xiulian laughed, "I won't do it. My son will bring his girlfriend home this year, and my daughter will be on winter vacation soon. I will spend the New Year with them at home."

"Speaking of which, your family, Jiayu, is already a sophomore." Old Sun who was not far away interrupted.

"Yes, sophomore this year and junior next year."

"Hey, how time flies," Lao Hu said with a sigh, "I still remember that when Sister Ruan first came to the market, Jiayu was only in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school. The waist is so high... In the blink of an eye, not only is he tall and handsome, but he is about to enter the third year of university..."

"By the way, your Jiayu's girlfriend is still his former classmate?"

Ruan Xiulian nodded, "Yes."

"The relationship between the two of them has always been so good. It's really good. By the way, your family is already in the second year of high school, isn't it winter vacation?"

"She, she won't be on vacation until the day after tomorrow."

"How's the grade?"

"That's it, better than when I was in junior high school." At this time, someone came to buy fish, and Ruan Xiulian happily replied while killing the fish, "It's far worse than her brother."

"Look, this is Versailles, isn't it? Your Jiayu is the provincial champion, how many can compare?"

"That's right, you will enjoy the blessings in the future. Your son and daughter are all so outstanding and filial."

"After so many years of hard work, it finally pays off."

"God still has eyes..."

Lao Hu and Lao Sun were talking one by one, and Ruan Xiulian couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

After squatting for a long time, she was about to stand up and move her body.

……

……

As soon as Chen Jiayu and Cai Jiayi got home together, the phone rang.

After hearing what the person on the other side said, a look of worry immediately appeared on his face: "Okay, thank you, I'll be right there."

"What's wrong?" Cai Jiayi asked.

"In the market just now, my mother accidentally twisted her waist."

Cai Jiayi was taken aback for a moment: "Why did Auntie suddenly twist her waist, are you okay?"

"It's said that I squatted for a long time, and I accidentally twisted it when I stood up..." Chen Jiayu added, "My mother had a protruding lumbar disc before, and her waist has never been very good. However, Uncle Hu They just took her to the hospital, it doesn't sound serious, I'll go check it out now."

Cai Jiayi said, "I'll go with you."

Chen Jiayu nodded, put down the things in his hands, and just came home, so he didn't even need to put on his scarf and hat again, so he went out with her.

When I came to the hospital, I saw Ruan Xiulian, and under the doctor's arrangement, I did several tests.

After reading the examination report, the doctor said that it was only a mild sprain, and he only needed to rest in bed for a few days at home. He also prescribed a medicated oil for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. He said to rub it three times a day, and then massage for 10 minutes after rubbing.

After dispensing the medicine, Chen Jiayu helped Ruan Xiulian out of the hospital.

Cai Jiayi had already stopped a taxi, and Chen Jiayu carefully helped Ruan Xiulian into the car, and sat beside her.Cai Jiayi was sitting in the co-pilot.

Ten minutes later, I returned home.

Chen Jiayu first helped Ruan Xiulian to lie down on the bed, then took out the bottle of medicinal oil, and sat down beside the bed.

"Do you want me to help?" Cai Jiayi asked.

"No need, my mother's back pain is an old problem." Chen Jiayu is quite experienced. He first rubbed the palms of his hands until they became hot, and then poured a dozen drops of medicinal oil into his palms. It's not heavy, and massages Ruan Xiulian's painful back without rushing.

While massaging, Chen Jiayu said gently: "Mom, after the Chinese New Year, you will stop selling fish, right?"

"No more fish?"

Ruan Xiulian lay there, turned her head halfway, and looked at Chen Jiayu in surprise, "Why?"

"It's been too hard. After working for so many years, you should take a break." Chen Jiayu said, "Your waist is usually tired out."

"Don't make a big deal out of it. Didn't the doctor say that you'll be fine after two days of rest?" Ruan Xiulian said, "Besides, how can a person stop working? Where does the money come from for not working?"

"You don't have to worry about the money." Chen Jiayu asked Cai Jiayi to take his wallet, and then pulled out a bank card from it, "I saved a sum of money in this card, and the password is my birthday, mom Take it and use it."

"How can I use your money? Besides, how much money do you have?"

Knowing that she hadn't changed her mind yet, Chen Jiayu still regarded herself as a child, so she forced the card into her hand, "There are 200 million in this card, which should be enough for you to sell fish for more than ten years."

The next second, Ruan Xiulian let go of her hand, and the card fell on the bed.

"Two, two million?" She opened her eyes wide and stammered, "You, are you right?"

For her, this is simply astronomical.

Chen Jiayu smiled, "Yes."

His monthly manuscript fee is almost 10 yuan, plus the previous bonus, copyright fee...

The 200 million is just a small part of it.

"..." Ruan Xiulian shook her head hastily, "No, I, I can't ask you for so much money... You will have a lot of places to spend your money in the future, such as buying a house, buying a car... and raising children..."

"Mom, we are a family, why do we have to distinguish so clearly?" Chen Jiayu continued to massage her, and said, "The crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels. I am a son and an elder brother. When I can, I will do my best for the family." What happened to the money?"

His tone was gentle, but his expression was serious.

This family and his mother have given him too many things including life, so when he is able, he hopes that he can protect his mother and sister from the wind and rain in the future. At least for him, this is his role as As a son, he is also willing to bear the responsibility of being an elder brother.

After a pause, Chen Jiayu continued.

"I know you don't want to earn a lot of money from the fish stall. Over the years, you have sold fish by yourself and raised my sister and me. You have feelings for it, and you are reluctant to give it up..."

"However, even if you think your body can hold on, you should think about it early."

"She will be in her third year of high school next year. It is the time when she needs the care and care of her family the most, and it seems that she will go to a training camp in May, right? If you are still so busy, how can you devote your energy to her? What if she gets hurt? What should I do if I fail the exam?"

Ruan Xiulian was finally persuaded.

"Then, well..." After hesitating for two seconds, she said again, "It's just that the contract expires in a few months. How about another three months?"

"...Don't do it."

"Isn't the rent a loss?"

"Your rent is only 1000 yuan a month, and 3000 yuan for three months." Chen Jiayu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My daily manuscript fee is almost that much. Besides, you can try to transfer it to someone else first."

After hearing this, Ruan Xiulian didn't make a sound. After thinking about it, she looked at the bank card again, and instead of refusing it, she carefully held it in her hand.

In my heart, I have already made up my mind.

A few days ago, I heard from Lao Hu and the others that there are a few good new properties in the city center. When they are ready, I will take some time to check them out. If there are good ones, I will order one and write it in my son’s name. Next, when my son and Xiaoyi get married in the future, I will build a wedding room for them...

……

Two days later, on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Yuzao finally had his winter vacation.

After another day or two, Ruan Xiulian's waist was almost healed.

29 On this day, the family made dumplings together.

The dumpling wrappers were bought ready-made, and the fillings were made by Ruan Xiulian and Chen Jiayu, and then wrapped together.

Cai Jiayi is from the north, she is used to making dumplings, and her movements are more agile than Ruan Xiulian's. She holds the dumpling wrapper with one small hand, picks up the stuffing with the other hand, and with a touch and pinch, a round and cute dumpling is formed.

Ruan Xiulian and Chen Jiayu also made decent dumplings, only Chen Yuzao was not only slow in making dumplings, but also all of them were disabled. They were either crooked or unsteady, or their stomachs were open, and all the dumpling fillings were squeezed out and placed there. Rows of neat and beautiful dumplings seemed to be mixed with a few rat droppings.

Ruan Xiulian looked at it as an eyesore, tapped Chen Yuzao with the tip of her chopsticks, and said displeasedly: "It's not that I never taught you how to make dumplings, why are they still so ugly?"

Chen Yuzao pursed his mouth, and said unconvinced: "What's the matter with being ugly, the most important thing is the connotation, can't it be delicious?"

"Hehe," Ruan Xiulian sneered, "Then why do you insist on growing to 1.6 meters? What does it matter if you are a woman?"

Chen Yuzao: "..."

Ruan Xiulian looked her up and down again, then sighed, and said earnestly, "I'm also doing it for your own good. Look at you, except for a face, you don't have any breasts or buttocks. From behind, you look like a boy. Who knew you were a girl? But you are so old, I think, it is impossible to expect you to develop again, so I thought, it would be good to build you in the direction of hardworking and ladylike, but in the end you even have I can't even learn how to make a dumpling... Sigh, what if I can't get married in the future?"

Chen Yuzao said: "It's just fine if I don't get married, I will stay with my mother for the rest of my life."

I thought Ruan Xiulian would be very moved, but Ruan Xiulian rolled her eyes and said directly, "You want to grow old forever?"

Chen Yuzao: "..."

Both Chen Jiayu and Cai Jiayi held back their laughter.

Chen Yuzao squeezed to Chen Jiayu's side and said, "Brother, you come and teach me how to wrap. Every time my mother taught me, she didn't have any patience at all, and she moved quickly. After teaching me twice, I got impatient. Can't learn."

Chen Jiayu held the dumpling wrapper in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, picked up the ball of stuffing, put the stuffing in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, slowed down, and demonstrated it to her.

"First fold the skin in half, pinch the middle tightly, fold the right side towards the middle and pinch it tightly, and do the same with the left side, and finally pinch both sides tightly with your thumb and index finger, and pinch it once and for all...Have you learned it?"

Chen Yuzao looked bewildered: "...you can slow down."

Chen Jiayu slowed down a little more and pinched one.

Chen Yuzao took a dumpling wrapper and stood beside him, following him step by step, but the ones that came out were still ugly.

Chen Jiayu was also running out of patience, "Idiot."

Chen Yuzao, "..."

"Come here early, I'll teach you one of the simplest wrapping methods." Cai Jiayi couldn't stand it any longer, so she leaned over and said, "It's very simple."

Chen Yuzao hurriedly said, "Okay."

Cai Jiayi took a piece of dumpling wrapper, put in the stuffing, and folded the dumpling wrapper gently in half, then pinched the folded dumpling wrapper together to form a crescent, and then gently nested it into a circle. Knead the corners tightly together so that a swollen dumpling is ready.

"How about it, is it super simple?"

"Well, it's simple!" Chen Yuzao imitated the method she taught and made a dumpling, and it really didn't look so horrible.

Her eyeballs rolled around, and she didn't know what to think of, so she smiled.

On the night of New Year's Eve, in addition to a table of New Year's Eve dinner, a large bowl of steaming dumplings was cooked, including those made by Chen Yuzao.

"It smells so good!" Chen Yuzao took a deep breath, the heat of the dumplings seemed to turn a corner in mid-air, and said happily, "The dumplings made by myself smell delicious, this is the charm of labor!"

"Okay, it's time for dinner." Ruan Xiulian came out with soup.

Everything was ready, the four of them were seated, Ruan Xiulian picked up the chopsticks and looked at the other three.

The daughter is in high school, the son is 20 years old, has a girlfriend, and can still make money...

The two children have grown up, so she doesn't need to worry about it anymore...

This new year is almost the most fulfilling one of all the new years she has had in the past ten years...

Seeing her holding the chopsticks but not picking up food for a long time, Chen Jiayu just looked emotional, and reminded, "Mom, what are you thinking?"

Ruan Xiulian smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay, I just think this year is very good, eat, eat."

The sound of the program was playing on the TV, and the rich dishes that had been busy all afternoon were placed on the table. There were firecrackers and fireworks outside from time to time, and everyone ate the New Year's Eve dinner happily.

After drinking a few drinks and eating a lot of food, Ruan Xiulian picked up a small bowl and filled a bowl of dumplings for herself.

"I'll try the dumplings we made this year."

She took one first and said: "This bag is very beautiful, it must be Xiaoyi's bag." She took another bite and said: "It tastes good too!"

Cai Jiayi smiled and said, "Dumplings are delicious only because of the stuffing, and the stuffing you make is delicious."

Coaxed Ruan Xiulian to smile.

Unwilling to be lonely, Chen Yuzao said, "Mom, you should try my bag too."

Ruan Xiulian looked in the bowl.

There is no need to identify them at all, just the ugliest ones, with a look of disgust.

"Do you still need to taste yours? Aren't the dumplings all the same?"

Chen Yuzao: "..."

Double standard, too double standard!
Having said that, Ruan Xiulian still picked out a less ugly, horseshoe-shaped dumpling and put it in her mouth: "I'll try it."

As soon as she took a bite, her face suddenly changed.

"What is so hard!"

Ruan Xiulian spat out a hard object in her mouth.

is a coin.

"Why are there coins in this dumpling?" She asked with a dark face.

coin?

Chen Yuzao was startled, and said excitedly, "Oh, I let it go."

Ruan Xiulian shouted: "What are you doing with the coins?!"

Chen Yuzao shivered, and quickly explained: "I heard people say that when eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, you have to put a coin in the dumpling. Whoever gets the coin means good luck for the next year!"

Ruan Xiulian had heard about this custom before, so she couldn't help but curled her lips and said, "Since this is the case, I won't beat you if it's Chinese New Year's Eve."

Chen Yuzao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

At this time, Ruan Xiulian remembered something and stared suddenly: "Wait a minute, have you sterilized this coin?"

"Disinfection, disinfection?"

"...I have a broom!"

"what!"

……

The lively New Year's Eve dinner is over.

Chen Yuzao and Ruan Xiulian are watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Cai Jiayi accompanied Chen Jiayu to the balcony.

In the night sky, thousands of brilliance bloomed from the fireworks, which were so beautiful that they were radiant and colorful.

"Happy New Year." Chen Jiayu stretched out his hand, hugged her, tilted his head and kissed her little face, and then took out a small gift box from his pocket: "A New Year's gift for you."

Cai Jiayi opened the gift box, first saw a necklace inside, and then saw the bank card underneath.

This is……

Looking at her slightly stunned expression, Chen Jiayu said, "As I said before, I have handed in my salary card."

This bank card is the one bound to his manuscript fee, and it is also his remaining money.

Of course, in this era, digital cash is already the mainstay. Giving your girlfriend a bank card is more of a symbolic statement, expressing that you regard her as one of your own.But Chen Jiayu also hopes that one day, he can give Cai Jiayi the confidence to do whatever she wants, without asking for luxury houses and famous cars, spending money like water, and at least not worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

He hoped so, so he did.

Perhaps, many bystanders could not understand Chen Jiayu's approach, and felt that he was too naive and idealistic, and lacked maturity.

The so-called family affection, love...

How can these illusory things be worth real money?

But Chen Jiayu didn't think it was too idealistic.

Everyone's experience is different, their views are naturally different, and the definition of maturity may be different.

Some people may see maturity as knowing the importance of fame, money, and power...

But for Chen Jiayu, maturity means having experienced enough things and seen enough people.In his eyes, the meaning of life does not require any great achievements, as long as he does not leave too much regret, so that people around him can be happy, and finally, he can leave some traces of his existence for the world, leave some something beneficial to others.

As Cai Jiayi said, when you know that there are people in this world who are a little bit happier, have more hope, add some strength, courage and hope because of your existence, and after being influenced by you, they will also be more happy. Be willing to show kindness to those around you and make the world a better place. When you leave, someone will remember that such a person once existed.

In this way, our life is meaningful.

It will also bring courage, hope, and fearlessness to ourselves.

……

Cai Jiayi smiled, "We're not married yet, you're just so self-conscious."

"I promised you, of course you have to be more conscious." Chen Jiayu held her little hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, and then said seriously, "I've already thought about it. During the summer vacation of my junior year, I will I will be 22 years old, and then we will get married. If you don’t want to work or earn money, I will support you for the rest of your life, and you can do whatever you want.”

Cai Jiayi smiled and said, "I don't want to become a parasite. Otherwise, when I am old and incapable, and you have no interest in me, you can't kick me out? Then I will be miserable."

Chen Jiayu said: "You are getting old, and I am also middle-aged, and we are still a couple. Also, how could I not be interested in you, apart from you, my mother and my sister, I don't care about other women. I don’t even bother to look at it. The most important thing is that all my money is with you, so how can you be kicked out? In my opinion, it’s almost as good as you kicked me out.”

"Yes, you reminded me." Cai Jiayi leaned against him, clasped her fingers with him, smiled with her lips pursed, and said solemnly, "I want to grasp the financial power. If you don't listen to me in the future, I will Just spend all your money, are you afraid?"

"...I regret it now, can you return the card to me?"

"Do you still want to take back the gift you gave? Just accept your fate."

"Hey... I admit it."

"Hee hee, can I use your money for financial management?"

"Okay, you can use it however you want."

An extremely beautiful firework exploded above the heads of the two of them, and the night sky instantly became brighter. The shadows cast by the two on the wall were closely intertwined, as if they would never be separated...
