Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 132
Knowing that Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law is coming today, Tong Yuanyuan's family has obviously done enough preparations.

Good guy, there are several plates of dried fruit on the table.

More than that.

"Come to Xiaoji and eat watermelon. This watermelon was grown by my uncle himself. After picking it from the field early this morning, it has been hanging in the well in the backyard. It is sweet and refreshing."

No, as soon as Ji Ran was seated, Tong Anbang went to the backyard to bring a round unicorn melon.

The melon was green and dripping with water. Tong Anbang took a fruit knife.

He pressed the knife against the melon. Before he could exert any force on his hand, the watermelon cracked, revealing the bright red pulp inside.

"Is the melon good, whether it is ripe or not, whether it is sweet or not, you can tell when you cut it with a knife...Look at how thin the skin is on this melon. The melon is red with white inside. This color is not the kind that is so red The dead red color of a plain watermelon can compare... the flesh of this color is the sweetest..."

Tong Anbang transformed into a "Tong Gong" and boasted about himself.

Cut the melon along the cracks, cut out a piece first, and handed it to Ji Ran, "Xiao Ji, try it."

"Uncle, aunt, eat first." Ji Ran humbly.

"We eat it every day." Tong Anbang said with a smile.

"Then Yuanyuan eats." Ji Ran wanted to serve the melon to his wife.

Yan Zhihua said, "She hasn't eaten much since she was a child, Xiao Ji, don't worry about her, you should try it first, this melon is so sweet."

Tong Yuanyuan...has gotten used to it.

Well, just get used to it.

Ji Ran had already seen this situation and found it funny.

As soon as the son-in-law came in, the daughter threw it over the wall. It was the same scene as when Tong Yuanyuan went to his house, but the roles of the couple were reversed.

No longer polite and humble, take a bite, the rustling melon flesh is sweet and refreshing, it is really good, it is better than the one grown by the bad old man at home.

After only eating one piece of watermelon, Tong An's gang went to get two more large cantaloupes.

"Xiao Ji, my uncle planted this melon himself. He also picked it early in the morning and soaked it in the well."

The 'Tong Gong' who is cutting cantaloupes and selling melons is online again.

"Let me tell you, you don't need to cut the cantaloupe whether it's ripe or sweet. You can tell it at a glance... Ripe and sweet melons have white skin with yellow inside; those with green color are not good... After cutting , the unique melon fragrance of cantaloupe is tangy, like fermented old wine..."

Before the cantaloupe was finished, 'Tong Gong' went to the backyard again and came back with a box of peaches in his hand.

"I picked these peaches from the back mountains this morning. Look at how they look. They are bright red, ripe, and extremely sweet..."

Ji Ran... Laozi Yue's enthusiasm was irresistible, and his hospitality was irresistible. He was fed up with seasonal fruits.

……

It's too early for lunch.

Chatted with several elders in the house.

At this time, a men's motorcycle came to the front yard and stopped.

The rider was a young man in his twenties.

Ji Ran recognizes Tong Jie.

Last time, this kid did something to seduce Ji Ran's father-in-law... He boldly came to Youranju to get the grass bait, but it happened that Tong Yuanyuan was also there... He was so scared that he ran away.

Then Tong Yuanyuan returned to her parents' house and said she wanted to deal with her father and Tong Jie. She didn't know what punishment those two received.

Tong Jie parked the motorcycle and didn't dare to go directly into the house.

He peeked into the house across the yard.

"Tongjie, your skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

Tong Yuanyuan happened to look over and glared at him.

Feeling Lin Lin's murderous aura, Tong Jie trembled suddenly, and forced a smile, "I heard that my sister and brother-in-law are back, and I didn't catch any fish on purpose, let's come and see... Sister Yuanyuan, I have no other intentions. real."

Tong Yuanyuan waved her hand domineeringly, "You saw it, get lost."

She was really worried that her mother's family would trouble Ji Ran. No matter what, it was best not to do anything like this.

It will affect the image of the entire natal family, which in turn may affect her relationship with Ji Ran.

Many couples are not harmonious, isn't it because of their natal family?

The last time when Tong Jie was caught in Youranju, she came back aggressively and trained her father to be her second grandson.

Tong Jie was even worse, his ears were almost pulled out.

"Get out, get out now."

Tong Jie was afraid of the absolute majesty of his generation in the family from the bottom of his heart, and he was about to get out of the way when he got on the motorcycle.

"Tong Jie."

Ji Ran stopped him, stood up and walked out. After all, he was his brother-in-law, so saying hello was the most basic courtesy.

"Brother-in-law."

Seeing Ji Ran come out, Tong Jie grinned.

When he got the news, he ran over in a hurry at the risk of being dealt with by his sister Yuanyuan. In fact, he came to see Ji Ran for trouble.

He also called Ji Ran, but he couldn't get through. Ji Ran's phone had been set to the 'Do Not Disturb Unknown Calls' mode.

"They're all fishermen, go in and have a chat, have a drink or two at noon."

Ji Ran handed over a cigarette.

"No, no."

With a humble attitude, Tong Jie took the cigarette with both hands, shaking his head like a rattle, as if there was a female worm in the room that wanted to eat people.

"Then let's talk here."

Ji Ran doesn't force Tong Jie, he knows Tong Yuanyuan's prestige in her natal family, not to mention her peers, even the elders of the Tong family... Look at her father, the head of the clan, the head of the village, He dared not speak loudly in front of her.

Tong Jie glanced at the room timidly, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you something. You must not let my sister know."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "You want bait, right?"

"I want your magic bait in my dreams."

Tong Jie looked forward to it, but shook his head, "Master Jing said in the live broadcast last time that your team wants to recruit troops, but the first requirement is to be a woman..."

Xiaomei and Liu Wenjing are registering a company and are planning to recruit people to expand the team. Of course Ji Ran knows about this, and he was the one who brought it up that day.

But to recruit people in the live broadcast room, the first requirement must be a woman... Ji Ran doesn't know about this.

"Why, do you want to join?" Ji Ran asked with a smile.

"Fishing is my biggest hobby... My biggest dream is to make fishing a career and make money while fishing."

Tong Jie smiled foolishly, then smiled wryly, "Actually, I have also engaged in live fishing before. Unfortunately, the technology is just like that, and I don't have the money to operate it. After playing for a year or two, I didn't start it, so I stopped playing."

Ji Ran said, "It's not that easy to do any live broadcast."

In reality, it is not only difficult for live broadcasting, but also for all industries.

What people see will always be the group of people at the top of the pyramid from all walks of life, enjoying the scenery, eating and drinking...

The middle and lower layers of the pyramid are often overlooked, how many people are working hard and struggling.

What's more, they ignore that the pyramid is actually built on countless dead bones.

"I know live streaming is difficult... No, I just wanted to hug your thigh and take a shortcut, hehe." Tong Jie chuckled.

"Okay, got it, let me ask Master Jing for you."

After all, he is Tong Yuanyuan's cousin and brother-in-law. The 'Cumin' team is indeed short of people and is looking for people...the good news should not go to outsiders.

Ji Ran took out his mobile phone, found out Liu Wenjing's number, thought of something, and solemnly warned Tong Jie, "Let me tell you something, after you think it over, you can decide whether to join or not."

Tong Jie hurriedly said, "What's going on, brother-in-law, please tell me."

"Master Jing is a typical female man, with strong martial arts skills; my little sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she also has a hot temper. She once participated in the Sanda competition of the National University Games."

Ji Ran explained the situation with a smile, "Are you sure you're going to be beaten?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Tong Jie was dumbfounded.

Growing up, Tong Yuanyuan left a big shadow on him. Now he has to join a team with two seemingly more powerful sisters...

After hesitating for a moment, Tong Jie gritted his teeth and his heart pounded, "It's okay. I have been used as a human punching bag by Sister Yuanyuan since I was a child. I can withstand beatings very well... Besides, as long as I perform well, Master Jing and Sister Youling will not Maybe beat me up for no reason.”

Ji Ran smiled and said, "God knows if I will beat you casually... Well, make up your mind and don't be afraid of sacrifice. At least you are in good spirits. But one day you will be beaten until you have teeth all over the floor, don't come and cry with me... If you want to cry, cry with your sister."

Tong Jie...

Dare I cry with my sister?
As a result of crying to her, she will definitely be beaten again.

"I'll make a call."

Ji Ran dialed Liu Wenjing's number.

'Cumin' is his nickname no matter what, and he is the real controller of 'Cumin'... He has already spoken, so it is no longer a problem for Tong Jie to join the team.

"Okay, just remember, this is Lord Jing's number. For details, you can contact her yourself."

Ji Ran told Tong Jie about Liu Wenjing's phone number.

Tong Jie happily wrote down on his mobile phone, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will do my job well and never embarrass you... By the way, please don't tell my sister about this."

Ji Ran asked back, "Do you think you can hide it?"

Tong Jie thought about it seriously and said with a bitter look on his face, "This...can't really be hidden."

Ji Ran said, "Since you can't hide it, why not tell her now."

Tong Jie panicked, "Don't..."

"It's okay, as long as you do well, brother-in-law will cover you." Ji Ran patted him on the shoulder.

Tong Jie finally felt relieved and burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

……

The nature of Tong Jie joining the 'Cumin' team is naturally different from the last time he asked for grass bait.

'Cumin' lacks people to recruit people, and Tong Jie's ambition is precisely here, and it is a matter of hitting it off and having the best of both worlds.

Tong Yuanyuan was not an unreasonable person, not to mention that Ji Ran came forward to speak in person, and she did not pull Tong Jie's ears about this matter.

But the warning must be indispensable, "Tong Jie, don't think that your brother-in-law has the final say on 'cumin', you just want to specialize! Remember to do it well! Give yourself, your brother-in-law, and your sister a face. , did you hear me!"

"I heard it, I understand, obey my sister."

Tong Jie was overjoyed after successfully passing Tong Yuanyuan's test.

"Okay, you can go now."

Tong Yuanyuan waved her hand domineeringly.

"Get out now."

Tong Jie got on the car, started the engine, and the motorcycle sped away.

When returning to the house, Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan slipped the cigarettes, fish and wine from the car into the house.

Tong Jianguo and Tong Anbang, who came over with dried fungus, ignored Liang Huazi.

Two pairs of eyes stared straight at the fish and wine.

Due to Ji Ran's presence, the uncle and nephew did not say anything for the time being.

"Dad, Grandpa Ninth, after eating and drinking the wine and fish at noon, each of you will share half of the rest."

Tong Yuanyuan heard from her mother that the last time she and Ji Ran left, the two old men fought over the fish and wine until they were blushing and thick-necked...

Simply assign them to them in advance.

Unexpectedly, no matter what happened, this point directly triggered the "Chu and Han struggle for supremacy".

"Yuanyuan, Grandpa Ninth didn't hurt you for nothing." Tong Jianjun was delighted when he heard it, and he stroked his white beard and praised Tong Yuanyuan.

"Hey, I said, Yuanyuan, how can you divide like this?"

Tong Anbang was not happy when he heard that, half of the fish and wine would be divided, regardless of whether the future son-in-law was present or not, "The wine and fish are my son-in-law's filial piety to me, how can you give half to you?" Grandpa? He has his son-in-law, and he wants to drink and eat fish, and ask his son-in-law to honor him?"

Tong Jianjun said plausibly, "Xiao Ji is also my grandson-in-law!"

"Don't!"

Tong Anbang fought back forcefully, "Can a grandson-in-law compare with his own son-in-law? I have worked hard to raise my daughter for 30 years to find such a good son-in-law for me. Do you compare with me?"

This is really incomparable.

Tong Jianjun changed his focus, "I am your uncle, dear! I am your only uncle in this world!"

Tong Anbang said speechlessly, "This has something to do with wine and fish!"

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Tong Jianjun spoke confidently, "A son-in-law is filial and knows how to respect his father-in-law, but a nephew is so unfilial and doesn't know how to respect his uncle? Believe it or not, I will beat you as an unfilial nephew."

As he spoke, Tong Jianjun slapped his hands pretentiously.

Facing the old guy's reliance on his old age, Tong Anbang, who had won the last game, was defeated this time.

Little did he know that his Ninth Uncle didn't compete with him last time, and he had been thinking about it after returning... No, he succeeded in winning the battle this time.

Yan Zhihua...

Tong Yuanyuan......

Two old guys who were over 140 years old in total, so disregarding their image in front of Ji Ran... it was really embarrassing.

Ji Ran didn't feel anything.

Uncle Jiu's wine, his fish, he knows better than anyone else that neither is a temptation that ordinary people can resist.

Not to mention the two stacked together.

At the same time, he felt that this kind of atmosphere seemed embarrassing, but it was actually very warm. The old people were still childlike... It reminded him of his grandparents who passed away many years ago.

"Grandpa Ninth, I was negligent. Next time, I will serve you wine and fish alone, just to honor your old man."

Ji Ran said slightly apologetically.

"My grandson-in-law is filial, he is really a good boy." Tong Jianjun stroked his beard in satisfaction, and he did not forget to teach Tong Anbang, "Xiao Bangzi, have you seen that in the future, you must be filial... learn from Xiao Ji."

Tong Anbang blew his beard and stared in frustration.

……

After the fun interlude, it was time to make lunch.

Ji Ran stopped cooking.

Ji Ran planned to perform again, and Tong Yuanyuan also supported his performance, but Master Taishan and his mother-in-law firmly disagreed.

Tong Jianjun also disagreed.

This is the difference in treatment between the last time and this visit to Tong's house.

This is the difference between not being recognized and being well-liked.

Yan Zhihua is in charge of the spoon, and Tong Yuanyuan is in the kitchen.

Ji Ran's mother-in-law is a good cook, and she has a large table of dishes that are unique.

But the most delicious dish is undoubtedly the grass carp.

Only good ingredients can make better dishes.

"Xiao Ji, your grass carp is really fresh, so fresh."

The three elders feasted on a big piece, and praised while eating.

Ji Ran prefers to eat the dried wild fungus that Grandpa Jiu brought over.

Wild fungus mainly grows on decayed trees, especially fallen trees, which are relatively easy to grow.

Like mushrooms, this thing is an out-and-out treasure, a good thing that is guaranteed to be a fake.

And wild fungus is far less common than wild mushrooms.

Ji Ran has been back from Shanghai for so long, and this is the first time he eats it today. Of course, the main reason is that he didn't deliberately pick it.

The taste of wild fungus is really nice, much better than the artificially grown fungus bought in the market.

……

Eat and drink well.

Ninth Grandpa Tong Jianjun was too old to drink, so he took a few ounces of wine and half a fish to share with him, and went back to take a nap contentedly.

Ji Ran and Tong Yuanyuan chatted with her parents.

While chatting, Tong Anbang asked solemnly, "Xiao Ji, you and Yuanyuan are not young anymore, and you are classmates again. You have known each other for so many years, and you know each other well... When are you going to get married?"

Yan Zhihua agreed seriously, "Yes, Xiao Ji, if you get married early, it can be regarded as settling a big worry for us elders."

Tong Yuanyuan looked at Ji Ran shyly and expectantly.

"As long as Yuanyuan is willing, we can go to get the certificate at any time."

Ji Ran responded solemnly.

This is his attitude. At this stage, it goes without saying that Tong Yuanyuan is the other half who will spend the rest of his life with him.

That being the case, when it comes to marriage, he follows the principle that the elders are satisfied and Tong Yuanyuan is happy.

"I hate it, I haven't promised to marry you yet." Tong Yuanyuan came again, saying that she hated it, her blushing pretty face was almost overflowing with happiness.

Xianxianrou crouched under the table, holding Ji Ran's big hand and clasping her fingers tightly.

"Haha, well, with your words, uncle will feel at ease."

Tong Anbang laughed loudly. It was difficult to find such a handsome and heroic son-in-law, who had financial resources, ability and cooking skills, and was good at feeding fish, and could get the wine from the wine uncle that others could not get, even with a lantern.

Yan Zhihua was also smiling, extremely satisfied with Ji Ran and Ji Ran's attitude.
