my home is in the northeast

57. Gourmet Foodies

Two smoked pork knuckles were picked into large slices, and all kinds of stewed pork were also served on plates. In the middle, there was a large bowl of stewed pork vermicelli, a large bowl of chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, and other stir-fried sauerkraut, stupid Special stir-fried dishes such as eggs are placed on the table.

"Xiao Rong, sit on the top of the kang. It's all rural food, you can make do with it, don't be polite."

"Don't worry uncle, I just smelled the fragrance and salivated for a long time, I will definitely not be polite." Rong Zhiyan nodded with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. Yu Bao'er, pour us a few glasses of wine. Xiao Rong, if you drink too much, stay here, there are plenty of places." Zhang Changgui took the wine bottle brought by Zhang Yuhe and gave it to Rong himself Pour a cup with all your words.

"Uncle, I should pour it for you." Rong Ziyan was rather flattered, the Zhang family treated him so well, it really made him feel like his son-in-law came to the house for the first time.Just now he felt that Zhang Yuhe's expression was a bit unnatural, so he pretended to ask Zhang Yuping casually, and only then did he know why Zhang Yuhe's face was dark just now.While thinking it was funny, I also felt that this seemed to be destined.

"Old man, just now Xiao Rong said that he would stay here for a while, and I decided to let him stay here."

"Should be, should be, live with Yu Baoer at night. Old lady, heat up the kang in their house at night." Zhang Changgui instructed.

"Uncle, aunt, two sisters, you are so kind to me. I would like to toast to everyone."

Zhang Changgui and Zhang Yuhe drank baijiu together, while Sun Cuifang, mother and daughter drank fruit wine, which was not high in alcohol.

Zhang Yuwei smiled and said, "Brother Rong, you are a year or two older than me, why do you still call me sister?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I called after the jade crane, it's not a disadvantage." Rong Ziyan said with a seemingly good temper.In fact, only Zhang Yuhe probably understood that thought.If the two of them were together, Zhang Yuwei would call her sister even if she was younger.

only……

Zhang Yuhe was a little confused.

The reason why he ran away at the beginning was because he felt that his mind was shameful, and he actually had that kind of thought about Rong Ziyan.But looking at the attitude of Rong Youyan now, it seems that he doesn't care about this matter, but... a little acquiescing?

Zhang Yuhe was dumbfounded.Could it be that he is not in love?

"Yuhe, why don't you eat?" Rong Ziyan saw Zhang Yuhe next to him holding the rice bowl in a daze, and stretched out his chopsticks to put a piece of multi-layered stewed meat into the bowl for him.

"Yu Bao'er, eat well. Xiao Rong, don't worry about him, eat more, eat more." Sun Cuifang smiled and asked Rong Zhiyan to add food, "Are these dishes still to your liking?"

"Yeah, yes." Rong Zhiyan's mouth was full, "This stewed pork belly is soft and delicious, and the vermicelli is very strong. It's full of gravy, and it's not worse than meat. And this chicken It's also delicious, chewing with a special fragrance, and it tastes completely different from that kind of soft chicken. This is raised by our family? The mushrooms in it are also delicious and fragrant! There are also these sauced meats, the taste is really unique , I have never eaten such a good sauce meat, the sauerkraut is also very refreshing, and this egg..."

Rong Ziyan not only likes to eat, but also knows how to eat, commenting on the characteristics of each dish one by one.

Except for Zhang Yuhe, everyone else was dumbfounded.Zhang Yuhe took it for granted, and took a bite of the meat that Rong Ziyan gave him just now, "He's like this, when it comes to eating, he's like a food critic."

Rong Ziyan smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head and continued to eat.

"It's nothing bad, Xiao Rong didn't say anything, I didn't even know that the dishes I cooked were so delicious." Sun Cuifang laughed.

"You're being polite, do you really think what you do is as good as people say?" Zhang Changgui rarely talked a lot today, frequently pouring cold water on his wife.

"Are you saying that my cooking is not delicious? Then you have been eating it for more than 30 years?" Sun Cuifang glared at her wife, "Okay, you can cook tonight."

"What's so difficult? Yuping, Yuwei, let's make dumplings tonight!"

The Zhang family sisters pursed their lips and laughed.Zhang Yuhe also giggled.

Rong Ziyan looked at the Zhang family with envy in his eyes.

"Eat, Xiaorong. Do you think our family is too noisy?" Sun Cuifang laughed.

"No, I think our family has a very good atmosphere. Most of the meals in our family are just me and my younger brother. Even if our parents are present, we are required to eat and sleep without talking. The whole process is cold and there is no sound at all." Rong Ziyan smiled wryly and shook his head, the atmosphere at home was so cold that he didn't feel like it was home at all.

"How could this be?" Zhang Yuping blurted out, "If I'm so reserved, I don't think I can eat it anymore."

Her in-law's family is terrible enough, but it's still hard to imagine this kind of family atmosphere. It's really hard to imagine her mother-in-law with a straight face at the dinner table, and everyone dare not show their air.On such a day, one meal is enough for her, but Rong Ziyan has been living in this environment.

Zhang Yuhe was also stunned.

Although he knew from Chi Junping, Rong Ziyan's younger brother that their family was rich and powerful, he asked him not to affect his elder brother's life.But he really didn't know that Rong Ziyan lived this kind of life at home every day, and he thought that this kind of rich man lived a life of luxury and lawlessness every day.

No wonder Rong Ziyan wanted to go out to eat with him when he had the opportunity, and he specifically looked for some delicious but remote restaurants, the two of them ate happily and had a heart-to-heart chat.But I never go to those big hotels and restaurants to eat once. It turns out that apart from my preference, it may also be because I have been suffocated.

"Why?" Seeing Zhang Yuhe's distressed eyes, Rong Ziyan couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I'm used to this kind of life."

"You child looks bright, but life is actually not easy. It sounds like you are not as good as an ordinary family like us." Sun Cuifang sighed and shook her head. "Eat more, eat more!"

Sun Cuifang is a simple peasant woman, and she doesn't know what to say, so she can only let Rong Ziyan eat more.

Rong Ziyan finished his bowl of rice very quickly, Zhang Yuhe naturally took his bowl and filled another bowl for him.The two of them didn't say a word, and they understood each other very well.

"Is this rice delicious?" Zhang Yuhe asked.

"Well, it's delicious. The rice is very fragrant. I feel like I can eat half a bowl without vegetables. The taste is soft but chewy, and there is a natural sweetness of rice."

"That's right, the rice here only comes in one season a year, so of course it's delicious. Our locals eat this kind of rice and buy it directly from other people. You should know that the best rice is reserved eat what they eat, and then sell the rest.”

"I figured it out." Rong Ziyan took a big mouthful of food, "It turns out that being a self-sufficient farmer is the happiest."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Yuping asked curiously.Even in their small place, they didn't feel that the rural people were superior. On the contrary, many people, like her mother-in-law, looked down on them who came from the village.

Rong Zhanyan picked up a piece of chicken, "Eat home-raised stupid chickens, stupid eggs, vegetables and rice grown by ourselves. They are all the best ingredients, so happy."

"That's not all, this pork is also raised by myself." Zhang Yuhe added, "But it's not raised by my family. It's for food, isn't it delicious?"

"Delicious." Rong Ziyan nodded.

"As long as you like it, you stay here, and I will cook it for you every day, so that you can enjoy it."

"Thank you, Auntie. After I got here, I feel more comfortable than at home. I always have the feeling that this is my home." Rong Ziyan glanced at Zhang Yuhe at the side as he spoke.

Zhang Yuhe bowed his head to eat and spoke without reason.I always feel that after tearing this layer of paper, Rong Xunyan's words are always taking advantage of him.

After all, even if he liked the other party first, he didn't intend to be the next one. Why should he act like a son-in-law visiting the house? Isn't it the first time for the young daughter-in-law to meet her in-laws?

After dinner, Rong Ziyan wanted to actively help clean up, but was persuaded by Zhang Changgui and his wife.The Zhang family's sisters have always been responsible for cleaning up after dinner. The two sisters are very diligent and don't need others to intervene.

Zhang Yuhe made tea, while Zhang Changgui told Sun Cuifang to take out the new quilt to dry in the sun and pat it.Then let Zhang Yuhe take Rong Ziyan to the room to see what is missing.

Rong Ziyan's capacity for alcohol is not bad, but relying on a little drunkenness, he lay on Zhang Yuhe's kang and stopped getting up.

Zhang Yuhe had no choice but to spread out his bedding and let the other party sleep first.Contentedly, Rong Ziyan hugged Zhang Yuhe's quilt and lay down, and sniffed it carefully a few times.

"Why do I suddenly feel that you are a bit of a rogue." Zhang Yuhe said helplessly.

The former Rong Ziyan was a good elder brother, a good elder brother, so perfect that he didn't dare to blaspheme.Even a little bit of unruly thoughts made him feel ashamed.

But now Rong Ziyan has changed a lot, but Zhang Yuhe not only doesn't feel disgusted, but feels much more real and closer.

"It's not enough to be a scoundrel, a gentleman can't keep people." Rong Ziyan sighed. "By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Well, you said."

"You left Beijing in a hurry, did someone tell you something?"

Zhang Yuhe fell silent.

"I know if you don't tell me." Rong Ziyan sneered, "Did Chi Junping say something?"

"No, Chi Junping didn't say anything." Zhang Yuhe still refused to say.

"Forget it." Zhang Yuhe didn't want to say it, and Rong Ziyan didn't want to force him. "If you have any questions in the future, just come to me and talk to me directly. Between you and me, do you need a third person as a microphone?"

"Understood...Brother Rong, why are you here this time?" Zhang Yuhe couldn't help asking.

"Of course I will take you back. Have you completed the discharge procedures?"

"Well, it's impossible to go back." Zhang Yuhe nodded.It was a pity, but at the time he had no other choice.If he stayed, he would continue to confront Rong Ziyan, and he could no longer remain indifferent, so he could only leave.

"Then go back with me, don't you want to stay in this small mountain village?"

"You're duplicity!" Zhang Yuhe said with an angry look, "Just now you said that what you envy the most are farmers, who eat the rice and chickens you raise yourself! Now it will change immediately!"

"It's different. You come back with me, and I'll arrange a job for you. You can't stay at home, can you?"

Zhang Yuhe's face was dark.Originally, he wanted to talk about his career with Rong Ziyan, but now he doesn't want to say a word at all.

"I'm here for our future. I don't want you to stay in the capital all the time, wait for you to study by my side for two years, and then come to work in the branch here. Okay?"
