Chapter 343 The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall

This year, because there is a leap in March, the solar calendar days are much later than the lunar calendar. Xu Mengyang's happy day on the sixth day of June is converted into the solar calendar at the end of July.

Xu Huixiang took a week's annual leave, and returned to her natal home two days early with her husband and three children.

The second elder of the Xu family prepared the rooms for the children a week ago. As the day approached, they even sent people to buy a bunch of snacks that the children loved. Half a year old, the Buddha jumps over the wall, so that the daughter's family can eat it when they arrive.

"Show me, old man, is this dress neat? There are no wrinkles on the back, right?"

Mrs. Xu received a call from her daughter, saying that she had already boarded the car to pick up the airport. If there was no traffic jam, she would be home in four to five or ten minutes. Fearing that he might not be dressed formally enough, when he turned around and saw his wife sitting calmly on the rocking chair and humming Peking Opera, he couldn't help but get angry, "Why are you still sitting? You haven't gone in and changed into clothes that you can meet with guests. It was last year..."

Mr. Xu laughed and said: "It's not an outsider. What can I dress up when my daughter and son-in-law come to the house? Besides, this dress is pretty good, it hasn't faded at all, and it's crisp when you pull it. Don't you say no? People know that it is last year's clothes, although we have a better life, we can't waste too much, can we?"

The old lady Xu listened to a black thread. Is this a disguised way to say that the old woman is a waste?
After the old man finished speaking, he also realized that his words were not artistic enough, so he quickly made up for it: "But in front of the children, you really need to dress appropriately, otherwise you will think that we don't welcome them. Let's go, old woman, pick something for me Appropriate to go..."

That's more or less.

The old lady snorted and said, "What are you picking? I put it on the bedside table for you a long time ago. You can go in and change it yourself. Hurry up! Don't dawdle, I have to go to the kitchen to have a look. When I'm almost ready, I'll set the table first." , it's already twelve o'clock, the snacks on the plane are useless, we will have dinner when they arrive..."

So, when Xu Huixiang and his wife arrived at their mother's house with their three children in big bags, the old couple each wore crisp and brand-new Tang suits and waited at the door.

"Oh! It's finally here. If I don't come again, I'm going to call again." The old lady smiled from ear to ear, embraced her precious grandson, first gave a few kisses, then pulled the two brothers and sisters, He Wei, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry? Grandma has prepared delicious food for you. Hurry up and wash your hands and put them on the table. The things are left there, and someone will take them in. Take your time when you are full. Anyway, your cousin's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Not in a hurry."

The two elders always mean this: the emperor is big for dinner, and everything will be discussed after the meal, so it is impolite. They ask the bodyguards to help carry the luggage into the guest room, and the group sits down to have dinner, talking and laughing.

On the revolving round table that can accommodate twelve or thirteen people, eight cold dishes have already been placed, and when everyone sits down, hot dishes will be served one after another.

"Grandma, you said on the phone yesterday that Aunt Lian learned a new dish for us to eat. Which dish is it? Why can't I see it? It feels like I've eaten it before." Yuanyuan opened her big black eyes. , looked at all the dishes on the table, but couldn't find any novel dishes, so I couldn't help asking curiously.

Xu Huixiang rewarded him with a head of chestnuts angrily: "What's the hurry! There are so many dishes that are not enough for you. Your grandma has been busy all morning, and you asked her to beg for other dishes without saying thank you. The bigger the bigger the worse."

Yuanyuan screamed in his heart, he didn't think the food on the table was delicious, wasn't he curious, who let his grandma deliberately greedy him on the phone, saying that Sister Lian had researched a new dish, so I'm sure he'll whet his appetite .

The old lady Xu said with a smile: "There are some, and Sister Lian will serve them right away. Don't worry, eat more later."

While talking, Miss Lian, the cook of the Xu family, came out of the kitchen with a large crock pot with a cover. She placed the crock pot in the center of the round table, and gently lifted the lid. When I opened my mouth to introduce, a few children guessed it: "Buddha jumped over the wall?"

"That's right!" The old lady clapped her hands happily, "It's Buddha jumping over the wall! Didn't you say it was delicious when you ate a meal in the first lunar month? Grandma specially asked your eldest cousin to find the recipe for this dish, and then let Sister Lian follow it Recipe practice, your grandpa and I tasted it two days ago, and thought it was no worse than the one made by the restaurant, so I asked Sister Lian to stew it for you, how is it? Are you happy?"

This is one of the reasons, and the other is that she heard from her son-in-law that the old man He hired a new cook in the spring of this year, who is good at making Buddha jumping over the wall, and he once promised that as long as Weiwei lives in their house, he will let the cook serve this dish every day feed her.

Of course the old lady is not happy, our granddaughter of the Xu family needs you, the He family, to sell favors?Besides, the betrothal gift hasn't been given yet, how dare you call her "grandson-in-law" one by one?Even if the granddaughter is destined to join the arms of old man He, your eldest grandson in the near future, what can you do to me if you pull your hind legs a few times at the right time?So I resolutely protested: No!Just live in Xu's house!If you want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, our Xu family can't do it.Sister Lian, come on!
Therefore, in just four months, Sister Lian, the omnipotent cook, was trained by the old lady to become an expert in Buddha jumping over the wall.

The expressions of Xu Huixiang and others were exactly the same as He Wei's, "囧".

"Mom, this dish is good, it's nutritious and delicious, but what, isn't it suitable for summer?"

"What's inappropriate?" The old lady stared, and almost blurted out that the old man He even hired a cook to wait at home for you. So, which one of you feels the heat? Besides, the recipes don’t say that this dish can only be eaten in winter. Since it’s a dish, it doesn’t matter if it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter. If you like it, you can stew it. There’s so much to pay attention to…”

"..."

Xu Shi could hear the resentment in the old lady's words, no one would dare to lick the tiger's tail at this time, let alone a mother.Wouldn't it be just one dish if you want to open it? The old man has been busy for several months, and he should be happy to welcome them for the whole table.

So, the whole family gathered around the big earthen pot and tasted it happily.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and after knowing the chatter, Xu Huixiang helped the elders of the Xu family back to their room for an afternoon nap.The three children put away their luggage and took a refreshing warm bath. They didn't feel sleepy, but they didn't get together to talk, but rested in their respective rooms.

He Xidong was trading stocks on his mobile phone, He Wei was dragged into the alumni group of junior high school by Qian Duoduo, and was chatting with them at the moment, and Yuanyuan Boys' Shoes was lying on the bed to call Mr. He (to inform).

Mr. He knew they were coming today, and he also knew that the Xu family would definitely send someone to pick them up, so he didn't bother to grab the job, but he heard his grandson say that he had eaten Buddha Jumping the Wall at noon, and he couldn't hold back his loud voice: "What?! Your grandma Let someone make a Buddha jump over the wall for you to eat? Where did she find the cook? Not everyone can cook this dish. Don’t think that if you gather all the ingredients and put a pot together, you can cook it successfully. If you don’t have some skills, you can’t make it It smells like a big hotel..."

Yuanyuan children's shoes grinned silently on the phone, "Grandpa, my grandma didn't hire a new cook. It's Sister Lian. She has been busy practicing for half a year. She made a stew for grandma and grandpa two days ago. Everyone said it tastes good, so I stewed it for us today. Grandma also said that after the wedding of my cousin, I will stew it for us..."

"Then how can it be!" Mr. He almost jumped up from the reclining chair.

He was also thinking of using this dish to trick his eldest grandson's wife... Cough, cough, coax her into the house, and then live with her grandson affectionately for a few days, what old man Xu and those two are doing!If it is said that he wants to intercept the eldest grandson-in-law he is in love with, but their eldest grandson will get married the day after tomorrow, and the younger one has not yet graduated, so why join in the fun.

Walking back and forth a few times with a cane, he told his little grandson: "Yuanyuan, your eldest brother will be back tomorrow, after attending your eldest cousin's wedding, there will be a wedding at Shi's family in a few days, so this There are ten or so days of vacation, you find a way to let Weiwei live in our house." To save the eldest grandson from running out worrying all day long.

"Grandpa, Sister Weiwei is going to Huada University to participate in the embroidery competition after finishing her cousin's wedding. During the period, she will live in the school apartment arranged by the organizer."

"That's it..." The old man stroked his beard, it's okay, it's better than living in Xu's house, so he said: "Then come to our house after the game, she will definitely accompany Ah Qing to the Shi family's wedding. Come out."

It's time to let those people outside know that his eldest grandson has a partner, so as not to come to him for tea every now and then.

If it's just drinking tea, it's fine, but it's all for a purpose, and I'm afraid of choking after drinking it.

As if he didn't know, each of Ah Qing's assignments in the past few years is a great contribution. If it weren't for his young age, the successive promotions were too eye-catching, and he could be promoted again.In the final analysis, he was still wronged, and the effort was not directly proportional to the gain.

As a result, some people in certain seats couldn't sit still, fearing that the eldest grandson would shake the chair under their buttocks, and failed to win over Ah Qing overtly and secretly, so they racked their brains to learn from his life-long affairs. set about.snort!Fortunately, the eldest grandson already has a favorite candidate for his wife, otherwise, it would be quite a headache.

On the same land, the relationships of the various families are very complicated, it is not appropriate to tear the face apart, but following their wishes to introduce the girl he does not like to the eldest grandson, as a grandfather, he is also not happy, so he managed to find a daughter-in-law , you can't please someone you don't like, right?From then on, I won't get tired of seeing each other every day.Therefore, taking advantage of the Shi family's wedding, it is the most appropriate way to let the eldest grandson take the little girl out to make a debut.To save those people from coming to him for tea with ulterior motives.

After talking on the phone with his little grandson, Mr. He sat on the sofa and leaned on a cane to contemplate for a while, then picked up the phone at hand and dialed a series of numbers. As soon as the call was connected, he shouted loudly: "When are you kidding?" Come back? If you don’t come back, your wife will run away.”

He Qingdong turned his head to look at the phone, resisted the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and said, "Grandpa, who is not open-eyed and talking nonsense in your ear? I clearly told you that I will go back on the plane tomorrow afternoon."

"Hmph, you just remember." The old man actually yelled out that he had nothing to do, and reminded his eldest grandson by the way. When he received a sure reply from his grandson, his face looked a lot better and his tone became softer: "Your wife and her brother Yuanyuan went to live with his grandma, you know about that, right?"

"know."

"His grandma even asked the cook to make them jump over the wall. You know it even at noon today?"

"...I don't know about that."

He Qingdong held back a smile and replied.I dare say that the old man is jealous. The cook he hired with a lot of money has been trained for half a year, but before he can show his talents, he was snatched by his in-laws to present the treasure. Pfft, no wonder he called, the co-author came to complain about his grievances.

"Grandpa, in fact, Buddha Tiaoqiang is such a heavy dish. It's not suitable to eat in summer, and it's even more inappropriate to eat every day. Doesn't the new cook you hired know Hong Kong-style dim sum? Weiwei and the others are here, let's take this as a treat, I see her I usually like small snacks, you can’t go wrong if you prepare more. As for the Buddha jumping over the wall, when you come back to study in Kyoto, there is no rush to make it for her to eat, anyway, it is your default granddaughter-in-law, so you can’t run away.”

With this sentence, he can rest assured.

Mr. He laughed a few times, and then said seriously: "The Xu family is fine, it's the Shi family's wedding, what are your plans?"

"Shi Yuan has had a good relationship with me in the past two years, and recently negotiated a business cooperation, so there is no need to make trouble, just like the Gu family to give gifts."

Mr. He raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Business cooperation? With Shi Yuan? What kind of business does that kid know! And you, I remember you obviously don't like these..."

He Qingdong gave a low laugh, and said, "Grandpa, I'm an adult anyway, and I'm going to marry a wife soon. It depends on whether I can do things like making money. How can I judge by whether I like it or not? What to support the family?"

The old man is so angry that he can't support his family with the double salary of his school officer and deputy team?Which family's daughter-in-law is so precious?

Then he remembered that his little daughter-in-law was still his favorite, and silently swallowed back the words in his heart.

He Qingdong thought of Xiao Nizi's earnestness in making money, and a doting smile rose from the corner of his mouth. It wasn't that his double salary couldn't support his family, but that Xiao Nizi was too good at making money.However, he will not restrain her because of external things like face or shame. On the contrary, he will create a more stable life for her, allowing her to do what she likes without any worries.

While thinking about it, I heard the old man ask again: "You and that boy from the Shi family have joined forces to do business, does the Xu family know about it?"

"It's not just that they know, this cooperation case was chosen by them. Weiwei and I pooled 100 million to take up a small share, but grandpa, don't worry, it's not some shady business. The ecology that is under construction in the western suburbs Have you heard of the farm? This is it."

Hearing that it was an ecological farm, the old man was completely relieved.He had heard this matter from his second and third sons, and it was indeed the boy from the Xu family who picked him up. The second son even let Yaonan talk about it, but it was a pity that he failed to break into that circle after all.Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson, who has not been in the capital for many years, is actually one of them.

The old man made up his mind, and his tone sounded a little more relaxed than before: "When you come back, take your daughter-in-law to eat at home."

He Qing Dongguan Er.
