Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Xu Wanning stretched and said lazily: "Let's get up and have breakfast."

After leaving the bedroom, Xu's mother saw the children sitting in a circle around the dining table.

The children knew about Xu's mother's arrival last night. They originally wanted to see their grandmother as soon as possible, but they were stopped by her.

Now they finally saw grandma, and the children rushed to Xu's mother.

"Grandma, I miss you so much."

Jinchu hugged Xu's mother's waist and acted coquettishly.

Xu's mother felt her heart almost melting: "Grandma misses you too. This year's New Year, grandma will stay in Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year with you, okay?"

After the words fell, the children were shocked, and the next moment, they burst into fierce cheers.

"Really? Really? Grandma really wants to celebrate the New Year with us?"

"Yes, I want to celebrate the New Year with you."

"Great, great..."

Mother Lin was also shocked by Mother Xu's words and glanced at Xu Wanning subconsciously.

Xu Wanning nodded slightly towards her, and Mother Lin knew that this matter was true.

She was also secretly relieved.

Now that their parents-in-law are here, they don't have to rush back to the capital, right?

The things that embarrassed her last night were solved.

What a coincidence that my mother-in-law came!

"Mom, I'm back."

Lin Quan came back despite the cold wind, and there were still snowflakes on his clothes. As soon as he stepped into the warm room, the snowflakes instantly turned into snow water.

"Have you bought everything?"

"I bought it, I bought it, cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, and cotton-padded shoes. I exchanged them with three aunts respectively. We don't have much at home, so it's not easy to find a new one."

"But I gave the money and cotton coupons to the village chief's aunt, and she promised to rush me out with a new one within three days, so that I would have something to replace it by then."

As he said that, Lin Quan took out the package that he was holding tightly in his arms and handed it to Xu's mother: "Auntie, these are the cotton clothes, trousers and cotton shoes that I just bought from the aunts in the village. The style is definitely not good-looking. But in our area, you can only keep warm by wearing this kind of cotton-padded clothes. They are all new, so don’t dislike them."

Cotton coats and trousers are all gray in color, unlike the bright red jackets and green cotton trousers that were popular in later generations.

Although it doesn't look very good, it is really warm.

"Thank you Tsuen Tsuen. I just heard you say that you gave me money and tickets. How much did it cost in total? I'll give you the money."

Lin Quan said aggrievedly: "Aunt, if you want to say that, you will really offend me. When we were in Beijing, you and the other two aunts did a lot to help me, and they would take my share when buying things for my sister-in-law. , when I buy something for Songhan Jinchu, I will also buy something for Chunian Chulin, I keep thinking about these good things."

"Now I finally get the chance to repay you. Please don't be polite to me, otherwise I won't dare let Chu Nian Chu Lin visit your home again."

"Yes, my mother-in-law, you are An Ning's mother, and that is our family. We don't speak the same language, so don't be polite at home. You seem unfamiliar, and An Ning is also in trouble, isn't it?"

"That's it, then I won't be polite. To be honest, I feel weird too."

"That's right. Come on, let's eat first."

Xu Wanning opened the stool and asked Mother Xu to sit down. The table at home was not big and there were many children, so Mother Lin simply filled two pots and placed one of them on the small table for the children to eat.

"Mom, did you go out to buy pork so early in the morning?"

Lin Quan asked curiously while eating fresh pork.

"It's the pork your eldest brother brought. It's probably leftover from yesterday's meal, and the vermicelli is also leftover from yesterday. But the dishes were freshly cooked by me in the morning."

Mother Lin took a pair of clean chopsticks and picked some pieces of meat for Mother Xu's bowl. "My mother-in-law, you can eat as much as you like, but don't be polite."

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Don't tell me, this pork stewed vermicelli is really delicious. It's not spicy, but it tastes surprisingly good. An Ning, I feel that if your restaurant also sells this dish, it will definitely become a hit."

"That's what I wanted to do. So I told my mother and asked her to help me ask anyone in the village in the past few days if they had any extra vermicelli. When I return to Beijing after the New Year, I will transport it back. . There are also vermicelli vendors in Beijing, but they are not authentic and don’t taste as good as this one.”

They had just finished eating and Xu Wanning was just about to clear away the dishes when she heard voices outside the door.

"Maybe the villagers came to take pictures. Aning, go out and take a look."

"Row."

Xu Wanning opened the courtyard door and saw many people standing outside.

Most of them are the aunts who came to help yesterday.

"Wan Ning, we heard from Tsuen Quan that your mother came to our village, right?"

"Yes, I just came last night."

Aunt Cheng handed the basket in her hand to Xu Wanning, "There are twenty eggs here. It's not too many, but it can last for a few days. Take it and give it to your mother."

The other aunts also placed the woven baskets they were holding at Xu Wanning's feet.

Including but not limited to dried mushrooms, dried potato chips, dried beans, etc.

Although they are all sun-dried vegetables, for rural people who cannot see a touch of green in winter, these vegetables are the key to improving their diet.

"Aunts, thank you for your kindness, but I can't have these."

"Oh Wan Ning, please don't be polite to us. What we took is not too much. You have a lot of family members, so you can finish it in one or two meals. I was embarrassed to give it to you, but I really can't afford it at home." Good stuff.”

The more the aunts behave like this, the more unhappy Xu Wanning becomes.

She is good at this kind of food, but the aunts are different.

But if she keeps refusing, it will break the hearts of her aunts.

Therefore, Xu Wanning adopted roundabout tactics.

"Okay, I will accept the kindness of the aunts, and I will also say thank you to the aunts on behalf of my mother. But I can't ask for your benefits in vain. When Lin An went to catch fish in the river yesterday, there were only a few flowers. Silver carp, I also caught a lot of crucian carp, which I still keep in my water tank.”

"If you don't mind, aunts, I'll pack two fish for each of you and stew some crucian carp soup. A sip of it will keep you warm in the winter."

"How embarrassing." Aunt Cheng said, "We originally wanted to give you something, but now we are taking your things instead."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "This is not my thing. The fish is caught from the river in the village. Everyone can catch it."

That's true, but others don't have Lin An's ability to break through such thick ice.

Even if the ice is broken open, the little fish will be more clever than the last, and they will not be able to catch them at all.

Xu Wanning returned to the house with a few baskets and told Mother Lin and Mother Xu about the situation.

"This... this is so embarrassing. An Ning, do we have to return the favor?"
