Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 166 Grandpa and Grandma’s First Business of the Year

Ning Caiyun saw that Hu Lijuan looked familiar, so she made a bold guess. Ji Donglai took off his coat and explained that Hu Lijuan's kick was neither light nor heavy, and Ji Donglai had no time to hide.

"Ah, the child has changed so much! Come and sit down, this kid looks like a southerner, come and taste our northern dishes..."

Ning Caiyun couldn't be happier that she was her son's classmate, and treated her as a prospective daughter-in-law.

The young ones gathered for two tables, ranked according to age, Ji Donglai, Wang Jue, Hu Lijuan and Yang Xue and others joined in for a table.

The rest who were too young were taken by their parents and grandfathers, and as Ji Heng announced the start of the party, the table fell into eagerness.

Hu Lijuan is very familiar with northern cuisine. As a native of Shanghai, Yang Xue is more surprised than curious about eating Northeastern cuisine, especially the portion of home-cooked dishes.

Ning Caiyun and the housewives made it according to the habits of the northerners. Seeing that Yang Xue didn't eat much there, she hurriedly picked up two more Yangzhou dishes.

"Your family is so welcoming. Our city is so deserted during the Chinese New Year. Everyone lives in the building. It's so uncomfortable to watch TV during the Chinese New Year!"

Yang Xue sat diagonally across from Ji Donglai, looking at the hospitality of Ji Donglai's family, she was very moved.

The other party has the typical soft language of Wu Nong, and when he speaks, it is the laughing point on the table.

"Yang Xue, didn't you notice the big difference between our place and your Shanghai when you came to our place?"

After taking a sip of beer, Ji Donglai played tricks and poured a glass for Hu Lijuan, who was almost pierced by Hu Lijuan's murderous eyes.

"Of course there are many differences. The cannon at the temple fair I saw this morning scared me to death, you know..."

Yang Xue heard the difference, and immediately began to describe it vividly. Ji Donglai turned to Hu Lijuan, who covered her mouth and smiled.

"The converter for popcorn popping, we just walked in front of it, and the stove for popcorn popping turned on, and there was a bang, Yang Xue almost lay on the ground, giggling..."

Speaking of Yang Xue's tragic situation at the temple fair, Hu Lijuan couldn't help it, and Yang Xue couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"Our side is very different. We also have popcorn, but it is an open iron pot with cooking oil in it, and then there is a handle on it to turn it into a pot! It is the first time I have seen this kind of pot. It's like firing a cannon, so scary..."

Yang Xue's movements were exaggerated, and everyone in the party listened quietly, making the whole family laugh.

Ji Zhong occasionally laughed once or twice, but looking at Hu Lijuan beside Ji Donglai, her face was always grim.

As soon as Ji Dong came to find a partner, he immediately took it back, not one, but two, what is this called?Slap in the face!
"Hey, I forgot if Yang Xue didn't tell me, my grandpa still has a story about this popcorn machine...Grandpa, can I tell you?"

Watching Yang Xue's vivid storytelling and the lively atmosphere at the table, Ji Donglai suddenly remembered something about Ji Heng. Ji Heng was holding a wine glass, and when he heard Ji Dong talk about his own affairs, he turned around.

"Brat, you still want to bury your grandpa after Chinese New Year, tell me, it's okay, my face is thicker than the sole of a shoe!"

Speaking of Ji Heng's side also put down their wine glasses, everyone on the table except the children pricked up their ears to listen, Yang Xue and Hu Lijuan also hurriedly put down their chopsticks to urge Ji Donglai, Wang Jue's side didn't hear it either.

"It's said that in the [-]s, my grandfather's factory was not profitable..."

The core content of the story is very simple, Jiheng's township factories are not doing well!Three days off and four days off, so Ji Heng and his wife discussed doing some business!It happened that a co-worker had this popcorn machine at home, and the two of them together popped popcorn in the town.

At that time, the people in the village were very poor, and the sacks used to hold things were all patched up with patches. For the first business, an old farmer came over with that kind of sacks.

When the pressure of the popcorn pressure cooker reached, Ji Heng put his pocket on the outlet of the boiler, and then slammed down with a hammer, the pressure inside the pressure cooker flushed out all the popcorn bullets.

As a result, the sacks in that house were too rotten. With just one blow, the bottom of the sack was gone, and the flowers were scattered all over the place, and popcorn was everywhere on the street.

That’s not counting, Ji Heng didn’t step on the popcorn boiler, and the boiler took a rocket along the street.

"My grandfather was very handsome at that time, with one foot stepping on the void, and the other hand holding the lever for opening the door, just like that horse stepping on a flying swallow, one foot landed on the ground, and everyone around was dumbfounded..."

Ji Donglai said vividly, the group of people at the table, especially the group headed by Yang Xue, burst into laughter at this moment, including Wang Jue, especially when Ji Donglai described Ji Hengma stepping on a flying swallow.

Even Ji Donglai's aunts and family members were laughing at this time, Ji Heng was embarrassed for a while, only Ji Heng's grandma couldn't hear what he said, but everyone laughed with him.

Ning Caiyun slapped her thighs with a smile, Ji Ping's face was flushed at this time, because Ji Ping told Ji Donglai about this, at this time she dared not laugh, but held back, almost internally injured.

"Hahaha... what happened next, what happened later? Did your family lose money? Giggle... I laughed so hard, my stomach hurts, Hu Lijuan, your classmate is so humorous!"

Yang Xue finally straightened her back, pointing at Ji Donglai and Hu Lijuan to urge her, and Hu Lijuan also straightened her back with great effort, urging Ji Donglai to continue.

"Later, I have to say that my grandfather married a good wife, and my grandmother was standing next to him! Isn't my grandfather posing on the horse and flying swallows? My grandmother screamed, hurry up, you chase popcorn, I'm chasing the pot!"

"Hahaha……"

Now the people at the table couldn't hold back anymore, even Ji Ping slapped his thigh at this time, because the latter sentence was Ji Dong's coming to play, and Ji Ping didn't when he said it.

The whole table was overturned with laughter at this time, and the old lady and Ji Heng also supported each other and laughed at this time.

"Oh my god, I won't come to your house again, I'm almost dying of laughter! Grandpa, you tell the next story, and if Ji Donglai continues to tell it, my belly will burst!"

Yang Xue clutched her stomach, hurried to Ji Heng's side, and took Ji Heng's arm to express that she still wanted to hear the next story.

"What am I talking about, let my old lady talk about it, so what, the time when my daughter wants to hear us popping popcorn is the time when you chased the pot and I chased the popcorn, hahaha..."

Ji Heng couldn't hold back anymore at this time, he thought that his eldest grandson is definitely a talent, he didn't think it was so interesting back then, now it's fun to think about it.

"Ah, that's something to talk about! Let me tell you, listen, your father was out of tune when he was young! I ran out two miles after chasing the pot, and I didn't come back for an hour. Your father won't look for me You big-hearted one, you must never find someone like your father when looking for a man..."
