Chapter 153 Mother-in-law's Preference

"Ping An, eat chicken stewed mushrooms at noon!"

Guo Yan walked in slowly from the outside, and said with a smile:

"Mom said, your new son-in-law is here, so I have to treat you well."

Jiang Pingan was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said:

"It's too grand, why don't you persuade me? It's better to keep the chicken to lay eggs!"

Guo Yan shook her head and said, "I can't persuade you, and what my mother just caught was a little rooster."

"The rooster can also be raised and sold for money!" Jiang Pingan got up quickly, intending to go out to dissuade him.

Guo Lin smiled and said: "Don't go safely, Mom is also kind, if you really want to persuade her, she will not be happy."

Jiang Pingan hesitated, sat down again, and asked curiously, "How many chickens are there at home?"

"Four hens and two roosters are prepared for Swallow's wedding." Guo Lin replied with a smile.

"If you are going to have a banquet when you get married, it won't be shabby if these chickens are on the table for Yanzi's coming out banquet."

"In addition, during my slack in the past few years, I have built a few sets of furniture, and I will only take them away when the swallows get married."

Jiang Pingan asked in surprise, "Brother Guo is still a carpenter?"

"Hehe, I can't be considered a carpenter. After a few days of learning, I can only make some simple furniture." Guo Lin said modestly.

"The furniture made by my brother is straight, there are no patterns, but it is durable. I like it very much." Guo Yan said with a smile.

She walked to Jiang Ping'an and sat down, then continued:
"Mom also said just now that I would take two hens with me when I returned to the city, but I didn't agree."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "You're right. It would be nice for the hen to keep the eggs. It would be a waste to eat them."

"Hee hee, I don't think so, I just think I can't finish eating it when I take it home." Guo Yan said with a smile.

"The weather is hot now. If you can't finish a meal, it will be broken. We should wait for the weather to cool before taking it away."

Jiang Pingan glanced at her sideways, and said, "Do you really want to prove the sentence that a married daughter is poured out?"

"Now we're not married yet, and your elbow is turned out?"

Guo Lin laughed loudly and said, "It's not that serious. Those chickens were raised for the swallows."

At the same time, I was very relieved, no matter whether what Jiang Pingan said was true or false.

But when these words are spoken, they are still very general, not people with shallow eyesight who only know how to take advantage.

"Also, when Swallow gets married, uncles and relatives will also send some chickens or eggs." Guo Lin added.

"In short, even if there is no banquet, Yanzi will get married in a good manner."

Jiang Pingan glanced at Guo Yan, smiled and said, "Then I will make a lot of money by marrying Yanzi!"

"Hee hee, do you know you've made money now?" Guo Yan said arrogantly.

Jiang Pingan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, being able to marry Swallow is a blessing I have cultivated in eight lifetimes."

After a pause, he continued:

"Although there are no banquets, but I am married to Yanzi, the procedures that should be followed will still be followed."

"I'll go to the commune later, I'll discuss it with Director Wei and ask his wife to help me as a matchmaker."

Guo Lin asked curiously, "Director of Commune Health? Are Ping An familiar with him?"

"Just now at the commune, Director Wei is very kind to Ping An." Guo Yan answered with a smile.

"It's not the kind of polite and perfunctory kindness, but genuine kindness. Seeing Ping'an is like seeing a relative."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Director Wei and Chen Zezhong, the chief of our commune's publicity department, are comrades in arms."

"And when I went to the city, especially when I went to school and chose a school, Chen Zezhong helped me a lot. That's how the relationship came about."

Guo Lin suddenly said: "No wonder, Ping An has quite a lot of connections."

"Hehe, it's all because of the favor of others, it's nothing." Jiang Pingan said modestly.

After a short time, the food will be ready, quite hearty.

The staple food is steamed buns made of Erhe noodles, which is a big basket.

Five seasonal vegetables, because there is no oil, so they are boiled in water and eaten cold, plus a plate of pickles and a plate of sauerkraut.

Of course, the most attractive thing is a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, which is delicious and savory, making people salivate!
This kind of food is very rare in the countryside, and Guo Yan's mother has put a lot of thought into it.

When the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She wished she could entertain Jiang Ping'an with everything in the house.

Because it was a family banquet and there were not many people, there were no separate tables, and women and children ate at the table.

"Eat more in Ping An, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." Guo Yanma said with a pleasant smile.

As he spoke, he took Jiang Ping'an's bowl, put the chicken head and two chicken legs into the bowl, and picked up a lot of meat.

After a while, most of the chicken arrived in Jiang Ping'an's bowl.

Jiang Pingan hurriedly said: "I often show in the countryside, and I eat a lot of meat, so eat more!"

"In this way, I will eat the chicken head, and the two drumsticks will be shared between Goudan and Niu Niu."

"When they are growing, they need to supplement their nutrition."

Goudan and Niuniu are Guo Yan's nephew and niece.

The former is more than nine years old, and the latter is more than six years old. They both go to elementary school in the brigade.

In addition, Guo Yan's sister-in-law is already pregnant, and it is estimated that Guo Lin will have another son or daughter a few years ago.

"Don't worry about these little ones, they will eat a lot of good food when they grow up." Guo Yan's mother said quickly.

Guo Yan covered her mouth with a chuckle and said, "Mom, why are you only concerned about safety, what about me? My bowl is still empty!"

"You? Make soup yourself!" Guo Yan's mother said angrily.

"Ping'an is here for the first time today, and you want to fight?"

Jiang Pingan took the bowl with a smile, and distributed the two chicken legs to the two children.

Then he gave half of the chicken to Guo Yan and the other half to Guo Yan's mother, leaving only the chicken head for himself.

Guo Yan's mother couldn't stop her, although she was still muttering, her expression was very pleased.

When a woman marries a man, dresses and eats, Jiang Ping'an knows that he loves Guo Yan more than any gift.

At the same time, Jiang Pingan's actions made Guo Lin and his wife very happy.

As for the two children, let alone the words of uncle and uncle.

A few adults didn't let them change it, so it was acquiescence.

Eat a meal with a smile on your face.

Especially the two children, who struggled to beat their teeth, and their stomachs were so full.

After eating, they all sat there humming and chirping, not wanting to move.

After eating and drinking, the woman was busy picking up the bowls and chopsticks, while Jiang Ping'an and Guo Lin went out to wander around.

Jiang Pingan passed a cigarette over and asked, "Is there enough food for the family?"

"I'm asking this question. You also came from the countryside. What's the matter?" Guo Lin shook his head.

Jiang Pingan lit a cigarette and took a puff. After exhaling the smoke, he said:
"I think the conditions in your commune are good, that's why I asked, not to mention food, other aspects must be better, right?"

"Hehe, good conditions are only for the public, so what does it have to do with us members?" Guo Lin sighed softly.

"There is only so much food available every year. No matter what age you are, you still can't get enough to eat after working hard."

"When the weather is good, maybe we can dig some wild vegetables to fill the food gap."

"The past few years have been bad, wild vegetables are not so easy to dig, life is a mess..."

After a pause, he took a breath and said:

"So it's right for you to try to get into the city. Farming, there is no future, and that's it when you're exhausted."

"Let's not talk about that, I'll take you to see the furniture I made for Yanzi, I don't know if you like it or not."
