Chapter 343 Aunt Zhou

Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou did not go back today.

Dad said he would come back to eat with them at noon.

On weekdays, my father is alone and eats in the team cafeteria in the morning, lunch and evening. It’s hard for my family to see each other, so I want to spend more time with him.

The couple left the courtyard and bought a cabbage, a radish, a few potatoes, a small half bag of vermicelli, and a handful of garlic sprouts from the nearby vegetable market.

The staff selling vegetables at the farmer's market watched them buy them one by one, and kindly reminded them: "You two young couples really don't know how to live. The cabbage and radishes that just arrived today are about to be celebrated during the Chinese New Year. Hurry up and stock up at home." They are about ten kilograms each. You may not be able to grab them when they arrive. If you don’t stock up, what will you do during the New Year?”

Lu Jingqiu smiled and said: "Auntie, there is no one at home these days. If you buy it early, it will spoil easily. Please wait a few days before stocking up."

At this time, unlike in previous years, you have to queue up to buy food at the farmer's market, and there are not many.

Nowadays, there are many stalls outside, all of which don’t require tickets.

She used to be in Xicheng, where she could grow vegetables in winter, and she was next to her best friend Nian Nian who bought grain and oil, so she never thought about stocking up on vegetables in winter.

On the other hand, here in the north, cabbage, radish and potatoes are common in winter, and garlic sprouts are rare.

After coming out of the vegetable stall, Jiang Nanzhou bought two more pounds of pork belly.

I also bought a few big apples.

Lu Jingqiu was carrying a few apples, and a strong apple fragrance lingered directly around her. In later generations, she always felt that the fruity fragrance of the fruit was no longer as strong as before.

Now I realize that this is really not a fruit grown in a greenhouse or treated with various pesticides.

"This apple must be delicious."

Jiang Nanzhou smiled and said, "I'll heat it up for you before you eat it. It's too cold."

Lu Jingqiu wanted to say that the heat was no longer fragrant, but when she thought about the temperature difference between the north and the south when she first came here, she couldn't get sick at this time because of her greed.

Along the way, the two of them were discussing how to eat. When they were almost at the door of their home, a very gentle-looking woman in her 40s looked at the two of them in surprise on the side of the road.

Lu Jingqiu glanced at it and didn't care.

After turning around and taking two steps, the aunt behind asked, "Are you Comrade Lu's daughter and son-in-law?"

Only then did Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou stop. Lu Jingqiu thought they must be neighbors in the compound, and replied with a smile: "Yes, hello, aunt."

The aunt smiled and nodded to us, then looked at the vegetables in their hands, and said hurriedly: "Comrade Lu actually has a vegetable field in the south, specially prepared for the compound, but he is not here alone much." I was given some food to eat at home, and I planted cabbage, radish, and garlic seedlings there. If you want to eat vegetables, just go to the vegetable garden. If you are free now, I will take you to see the land."

Lu Jingqiu looked at the vegetables in her hand and said hurriedly: "Auntie, thank you for your kindness. We bought vegetables today and won't go there. We don't eat much and we don't come often on weekdays. My father gave it to you. You can Just plant it.”

The aunt smiled and said: "Growing vegetables is for people to eat. I can't finish the food even if I plant two vegetable fields by myself. Don't be polite to me."

Jiang Nanzhou hurriedly answered: "Auntie, if we need it another day, we will definitely go to the vegetable field and pull out two cabbages."

"That's right, my surname is Zhou, and I'm in the west door on the second floor of the unit in front."

"Hello Aunt Zhou, let's go back first."

"well."

Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou walked to the door, and when they turned around to look, they saw the aunt looking back here three times. Lu Jingqiu said, "This Aunt Zhou is really enthusiastic."

Jiang Nanzhou said: "The neighbors in the compound are very enthusiastic. You will find out if you come here often in the future." Before he finished speaking, after thinking about it, he might not have time to come here next year.

Jingqiu's delivery date should be during the summer vacation, so she definitely can't come here all the time. During the Chinese New Year, the baby is still young.

It would be possible to pick it up by car, but it would be too much trouble.

"Let's eat steamed rice today."

"Well, let's make some vinegary cabbage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried radish with sliced ​​meat."

"it is good."

We should often eat cabbage stewed vermicelli here. Dad must be tired of it, so let's stir-fry some vegetables today.Although it is still cabbage and radish.

While the two were busy in the kitchen, Aunt Zhou came over just now.

He also held a small bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I just went to the field to pull out a handful of garlic sprouts for you. Your dad loves to eat garlic sprouts and shredded pork noodles. I also got two Chinese cabbage for you. It's not enough for me. I’ll get it for you again.”

"Aunt Zhou, you are too polite. We can't finish these dishes. We will leave tomorrow."

Aunt Zhou was stunned and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Aren't you here to celebrate the New Year?"

"I'll stay here again, but I have to go back to my mother-in-law's house first."

"Oh, that's right, that's right too."

"Auntie, do you want to come in and sit down?"

"No, it's time for me to go back. You guys are busy. I'll leave first."

"Auntie, your pocket."

"Just leave it for now. I'll pick it up another day."

"Okay, please Aunt Zhou, please walk slowly."

Lu Jingqiu watched Aunt Zhou walk away, then came in with the dishes and said, "Husband, this Aunt Zhou is so enthusiastic. She brought us all these dishes."

Jiang Nanzhou was surprised when he saw this, but he didn't think much about it and said, "If you can't finish it, we'll take it back."

"kindness."

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Lu Xianrun came back. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of vegetables and said with a smile: "It's good to have someone at home. I can eat my daughter's food today."

Lu Jingqiu came out with the rice and said with a smile: "Dad, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat. Today's meal is all cooked by your son-in-law."

After hearing this, Lu Xianrun laughed even louder: "He is a tough guy, and now he is busy in the kitchen all day long. If his former brothers see him, their jaws will definitely drop."

Jiang Nanzhou came out with rice and said, "Dad, they all know that I love my wife, and I learned it from you."

"Haha, I feel sorry for my wife. My Qiu'er is so good, so she should be pampered."

"Dad, I will be spoiled by you."

"Your mother and I pampered you so much before that you only rebelled once. Now it's not good."

Jiang Nanzhou said: "It is our family's treasure even if it is spoiled."

Lu Xianrun smiled: "What are you eating today?"

"Eat rice, vinegar cabbage, hot and sour potato shreds, and fried radishes with sliced ​​meat. Oh, Dad, I met Aunt Zhou in the courtyard today on the road, and she was very enthusiastic and brought us food."

When Lu Xianrun heard this, the smile on his face froze for a moment, he paused and said, "Well, just take it as it is delivered."

"Well, there's too much, I can't finish it."

"If you can't finish it, take it back to the old man to try. The vegetables you grow yourself are pesticide-free."

"I think so too. Dad, don't eat in the cafeteria every day. The food in the cafeteria doesn't have fish every day. You need to supplement your nutrition."

"Don't worry, I want to improve the food, so I asked the cooking team to cook for me alone. I'm at home alone and don't want to do it."

"Since you don't want to do it, then while your daughter and son-in-law are here, make up for it in the past few days."

Lu Xianrun smiled and responded repeatedly.

It is rare for many father-in-laws to have food cooked by their son-in-law, and their daughter has really found a good uncle for herself. They all say that a son-in-law is half a son-in-law.
