Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 221 Three cousins
Of course Yang Shuning saw the look in Mr. Hong De's eyes. Yang Shuning could also guess roughly what Mr. Hong De was thinking. If Mr. Hong De's family was in the capital, Yang Shuning would arrange a job by the way and sell more favors to Li Huaide. That’s it.But this is in Zhuji. Apart from Wang Jianyi, the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, I don't know him well. Where can you ask Yang Shuning to find someone, unless he becomes a soldier.

However, although Yang Shuning is willing to give Hong Delao's children a chance, he still has to see how good his cousins ​​are.Just like Yang Shuming, although he has no ambition, at least he doesn't cause trouble and is willing to be ordinary in life. Yang Shuning also thinks it's okay, but he's afraid that those cousins ​​don't know how high the sky is and it won't be fun.

"You can call them together during dinner later to meet them. Let me meet these children too."

Of course, Mother Yang could hear the hidden meaning in Mr. Hong De's expression and words, but as Yang Shuning thought, she wanted to see the situation of these children first.

"Okay, no problem. I think it's almost time. It's almost dinner time at home. How about we go sit at my house first?"

Mr. Hong De responded happily to Mother Yang, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and invited Mother Yang and the others to sit at home first.

"Okay, Ning'er, let's go and have dinner at your Uncle Hong De's house."

Mother Yang also responded happily.Several people also walked with Mr. Hongde, while the jeep stayed at the village headquarters.

"Mom, look who's here, Brother Zhengguo's sister-in-law, and their children."

As soon as Hong De arrived home, he shouted to his wife who was busy in the kitchen.

Yang Shuning also looked at the house in front of him. The house was a typical Jiangnan small building, with walls made of yellow mud and stone. The middle floors were made of wooden boards, and the stairs were also made of wood.

Yangjia Village has a large population and few fields. Naturally, each household does not have a large yard like in the north. Each household only has a yard of about [-] square meters.

Even if Hong Delao is the village party secretary, he will be treated the same.

"Hello sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for so many years. I'm so happy to see you. Sit down quickly, the meal will be ready soon."

After Hong Delao's wife finished speaking, she was busy in the kitchen again. There was also a young woman busy in the kitchen. If nothing else, she should be Hongde Lao's eldest daughter-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, Shu Ning, Shu Chen, this is my eldest, Yang Guang. The third child, Yang Xiong. The fourth child, Yang Jian. As for the second child, Yang Fang, she married to Qiandian Village. It is inconvenient to come back today."

"Sons, this is your aunt, and these are your two cousins. As for Shu Ming, you all know her."

Hong Delao introduced three sons to Yang Shuning and others.

Yang Shuning had just heard Uncle Hong De talk about his children. His eldest son was actually the same age as him, just a little younger.Moreover, Uncle Hong De's family has children very frequently, almost every two years.

And Yang Shuning could see that these cousins ​​had been waiting at home for a long time. As for the reason, it was not only to meet his distant cousin, but also to get Yang Shuning to help him.

"Hello, auntie, hello, brother Shu Chen, hello, brother Shu Ning."

Several cousins ​​also came to greet him one after another. As for Yang Shuming, they were familiar with each other, so naturally there was no need for this.

In Yang Shuning's view, the eldest of Uncle Hong De's three distant cousins, Yang Guang, is already a typical farmer. Even in the cold winter, his skin is dark and his palms are full of calluses.The third child, Yang Xiong, was well-dressed, and it was obvious that he had been specially prepared. He was wearing a decent Zhongshan suit, and he exuded the temperament of a teacher.The fourth child, Yang Jian, is the youngest. He just graduated from junior high school last year and still has the temperament of a young man. Well, he looks a bit unruly. He is also quite strong and can rival Yang Shuhao.

"Dad, everything for visiting the grave has been arranged, including incense candles, ingots, etc., and my mother has also prepared the sacrifices." As soon as Yang Shuning and others sat down, Yang Guang said in Hong De's ear He understood what Mr. Hong De had just arranged.

"Sister-in-law, my boss has already prepared the things for the grave. Why don't you take a look first? If there is anything missing, I will ask the boss to buy it."

After Mr. Hong De got the reply from his boss, he started talking to Mother Yang.

"Man Hongde, thank you. I won't be polite with these things."

Mother Yang didn't hesitate to check it carefully in front of Mr. Hong De. If something was missing when visiting the grave, it would be a big deal and Mother Yang would definitely feel bad about it.

"For the sacrifice, my family has prepared some meat, tofu, etc. It's the coldest month of winter and I can't find anything else. Sister-in-law, please forgive me."

Hong Delao continued to talk about the things prepared for Yang Shuning's ancestors.

"It's already very good. It's not easy for everyone these days, so don't say anything about forgiveness or not."

Mother Yang was also very satisfied with the sacrifice prepared by Mr. Hong De. She was not a person who was indifferent to the fireworks of the world. Of course, it was good to have sacrifices, not to mention that there was meat in them.It is estimated that this meat was picked from the inventory of Mr. Hong De's house, and it was most likely saved by others for the New Year.

"As long as your sister-in-law understands, come on, let's eat."

As Mr. Hongde's wife and daughter-in-law brought the food to the table, Mr. Hongde also invited Yang Shuning and others to sit down and eat.

"It's a homely meal, there are no dishes, and the hospitality is not good. But I have saved this wine for several years. It's authentic Yuecheng rice wine. Come and have a taste."

Hong Delao poured wine for Mother Yang and others while talking.

"It's a lot to be able to eat so many dishes in this winter. Uncle Hong De, you are so kind."

Yang Shuning looked at the bacon and other dishes on the table. Although there were not many dishes, only four dishes and one soup, Yang Shuning knew that these were definitely the best ingredients that Uncle Hong De's family could produce.

The wine was also very good, with a sweet aftertaste. For Yang Shuning, this was the first time he had tasted such authentic rice wine since time travel, and the rice wine tasted much better than white wine, so he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Shuning and his brothers and Yang Guang's brothers also became lively, and they also talked to Mr. Hong De about their main purpose of returning to their hometown this time.

"Uncle Hong De, the main reason why we came back this time is to move the graves of my grandparents and others to the capital. Now there are no direct descendants of them here in my hometown. I can't bother you every time to help worship. This way Since my words have troubled you, as descendants, we feel sorry for you, so we also asked Uncle Hong De to help us move the grave this time."

Yang Shuning raised his glass and gave a toast to Mr. Hong De. After that, Yang Shuchen and Yang Shuming also raised their glasses to toast.

"If you do this, you will have to move several houses, your grandparents', your uncle's and aunt's, and Shu Ming's grandparents'."

Mr. Hong De thought the number was a bit too much.
