Jiangxin Poplar

After everything is settled here, Yan Ying has to invite Yi Feng and Yang Yulang to have a meal, and she has to call the driver who came to help drive that day, so that Jiang Cheng can make an appointment.

When Jiang Cheng and Yang Yulang talked about this matter, he readily agreed, and Yi Feng naturally listened to him. The driver that the company temporarily called was not available, so he didn't call.

Yan Ying was very happy when they heard that people would come, and asked Jiangcheng again and again what they liked to eat, what their taboos were, and what their taste was like, and they went out to buy vegetables excitedly after they had asked almost all the questions.

With a clean house and more than half of all income being spent on living expenses and the elderly, Yan Ying really didn't have much money on hand, but she was happy today, so she generously bought shrimp, crab and fish meat, and also stewed a chicken. All kinds of ingredients, the fragrance filled the whole house.

When Yang Yulang and Yi Feng arrived, Jiang Cheng was feeding porridge to the grandfather in the wheelchair. He didn't do much of this kind of thing, usually it was Yan Ying who did it. Speaking of which, he hadn't paid much attention to this grandfather. The situation is not good now. It's the same, home is no longer synonymous with smog, no matter whether he wants it or not, he will be the so-called pillar of the family in the future, and he must take responsibility and take good care of his mother and grandfather.

As soon as Yi Feng arrived, he went into the kitchen to help, but Yan Ying didn't let him do anything, but pushed him out of the kitchen, repeatedly asking him to sit on the sofa and watch TV, and first eat some snacks of fruit and biscuits on the coffee table.

Vegetables were still cooking in the pot, she came out of the kitchen and took a hasty look at Yang Yulang, intending to say a few polite words, but when she saw him, she was shocked by Yang Yulang's appearance.

Yang Yulang looked at her with a smile, and called out politely in a magnetic and gentle voice: "Hello, Auntie!"

Jiang Cheng saw that his mother was staring at people obsessively, and she didn't even respond to people's greetings to her, so he exclaimed, "Mom, what's wrong?"

When Yan Ying heard ouch, the dishes were about to burn, she hurriedly turned around and rushed into the kitchen, while making amends, she yelled at Jiangcheng to make tea for the guests.

Yang Yulang smiled awkwardly, pulled up a chair and sat beside Jiangcheng to watch him feed the porridge.

Jiang Cheng put down the bowl and was about to make a pot of tea before feeding him, but Yang Yulang held him down: "Feed me first, we will make the tea ourselves."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Yi Feng consciously got up from the sofa to boil water to look for tea leaves, but he couldn't find where the tea leaves were, so he got up and said that he would come back soon.

Jiang Cheng looked at his back, and asked Yang Yulang suspiciously: "Brother Yi, why are you going, you can eat soon."

"Leave him alone, he has his own measure."

It was not easy for the paralyzed grandfather to eat something, and the porridge he drank would always leak out. Jiang Cheng could only wipe while feeding, and managed to finish the bowl of porridge.

"Are you full? Have another bowl?" Jiang Cheng asked him patiently.

Grandpa was not very old at first, and he was not yet seventy years old at this time, but he was much older than his peers due to his paralysis for many years, and his long-term bed rest caused his eyes to be cloudy, his skin was dry and wrinkled, his reaction ability was also very poor, and his ears were hard of hearing. , Many times he has to repeat a sentence many times before he hears it.

Jiang Cheng repeated it again before he shook his head to show he was full.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng got up and took the empty bowl to the kitchen, and then helped his mother put the fried dishes on the table.

Yang Yulang has been quietly watching Jiang Cheng busy. There is a bitter drama at [-] o'clock on the TV, and a pot of water is about to boil, but these sounds don't reach his ears. He blames himself for his negligence. He knew about Jiangcheng's affairs from the very beginning, but he never intervened to do anything. If he didn't care about those hypocrisy at the beginning, he could have made their lives better earlier.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Cheng asked him while setting up the dishes.

Yang Yulang recovered his senses and shook his head, watching Jiang Cheng's neat movements: "Does your grandfather need someone to accompany him 24 hours a day?"

"That's not necessary." Jiang Cheng set the dishes and chopsticks, and put drinks and beer on the table, "He just can't move his lower body, he can't speak well, he can't see clearly, and he's a little deaf, but it's okay to drink some water from a water glass. My mother usually arranges him and can do some odd jobs."

"What odd jobs do you usually do?"

"That's a lot." Jiang Cheng thought for a while, "She can do almost everything, washing and brushing, doing manual work, making clothes, knitting sweaters, taking care of children, being a confinement wife... she can do whatever she has."

Yang Yulang nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any more questions.

When cooking the last dish, Yi Feng came back, carrying two big boxes of high-grade tea leaves in his hand, one box of black tea and one box of green tea. pot, pour a cup for each person and put it on the coffee table, the faint tea fragrance wafts over, silently telling that this is a good tea that cannot be disappointed.

Jiang Cheng felt a little unspeakable about this matter. When guests came to the house, they had to buy tea by themselves. After buying, they brewed tea and poured a cup for the host. It was a bit of a sense of confusion that the guest and host were reversed.

Yan Ying finally finished all the dishes, and put them on the table one by one, including steamed large crabs, salt and pepper prawns, stewed chicken soup with mushrooms, hot and sour lotus root, fried bacon with celery, cauliflower squid, spicy rabbit meat, seasonal vegetables, There are also a few small dishes prepared in advance, and a table is full.

She enthusiastically greeted everyone to come to the table, and took the cups for Yang Yulang attentively and was about to pour wine.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly waved his hands: "Mom, Brother Lang doesn't drink, stop busy, sit down and eat."

Yan Ying still poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Yang Yulang: "I will make an exception to drink some when I come to Auntie's place today. Auntie has won such a favor from you and must toast you." She also poured a glass for Yi Feng, "Xiao Yi is the hardest, You must drink more, by the way, what about Xiao Chen, why didn't you come?"

Xiao Chen was the driver who helped drive that day.

"Xiao Chen has something to do in the company, and I really don't have time to come." Yi Feng got up to accept the wine and replied politely.

"Oh," Yan Ying sighed regretfully, "Then I'll call him next time, by the way, I've been calling you Xiaoyi Xiaoyi, what's your full name?"

"Yi Feng, the wind of wind and rain." Yi Feng is still polite, although he doesn't smile much, but he looks quite attractive to Yanying.

"Then Auntie will call you Yi Feng from now on, what a good name!"

"it is good."

Here Jiang Cheng just peeled a shrimp for Yang Yulang and put it in a bowl, and Yan Ying turned around to respect him: "Is it okay if I call you Yulang?"

"Of course, Xiao Yang is also fine."

Xiao Yang, Jiang Chengfu almost tore off the half-peeled shrimp when he heard it.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yang seems strange, I still call you by your name, so what, Ah Cheng must have troubled you a lot these days, finding a job for him and tutoring him in studies, even this house was found by you, I I know very well in my heart that this house is more than this price, I have no skills, and Ah Cheng has no great ability, but he worked very hard, we mother and son will remember your kindness, no matter what you need in the future, as long as I can do it I will definitely do it, you must not be polite to me." After speaking, Yan Ying's eyes were filled with tears.

After she met him, she even forgot the purpose of meeting him in the first place. Now that she looked at him a few more times, how could this man look like a bad guy, and how could he look like a liar!

"You must not say that," Yang Yulang wanted to interrupt her earlier, but felt that she would be happy if she said it, "Jiang Cheng is a smart man with a bright future. Don't worry about the fruits of his own hard work, this house is even a trivial matter, you can live in peace of mind for as long as you want."

"That's not okay," Yan Ying shook her head, and looked around the house that she hadn't gotten used to in the past few days. "In the future, when life improves, the rent will have to be paid according to the market price. Favor from others!" She thought that Yang Yulang rented this house from a friend, and she deliberately charged such a small rent for his sake.

"Let's talk about it later," Yang Yulang raised his glass and changed the subject, "Let me toast to you first, it's hard for you to cook so many dishes."

Jiang Cheng watched helplessly as he drank the beer in one gulp, trying to stop him.

Seeing that he drank, Yan Ying also drained her glass, and then greeted everyone to eat: "Come, come, eat more." While talking, she put a big crab in his and Yi Feng's bowls, He scooped up another bowl of soup for the two of them, and turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng, "Ah Cheng, don't bother peeling the shrimp, pour wine for someone."

Jiang Cheng peeled several shrimps in succession and put them all in Yang Yulang's bowl. Hearing what his mother said, "Brother Lang really can't drink too much, just make sense. He doesn't like cold things like crabs, so give them to Brother Yi. Hey, wait a minute, don't give Lango the spicy dishes, he eats very light, I told you why did you forget?"

Yang Yulang: "..."

Yi Feng raised his cup: "Auntie, I also offer you a toast, thank you for your hospitality."

"Ouch, that's right, we haven't had a drink yet." After speaking, he quickly clinked glasses with Yi Feng.

"Auntie, you eat vegetables." Yi Feng obediently picked up a shrimp for her.

Yang Yulang put the crab in the Jiangcheng bowl, and said softly, "Don't peel it for me, I won't be able to finish it if you peel it again."

After Jiang Cheng peeled the shrimp in his hand, he turned to add vegetables to his bowl.

"Ah Cheng, I'll toast you both Brother Lang and Brother Yi." Yan Ying had a few glasses of wine before remembering that he was toasting to the left and the right, and the son who deserved the toast didn't even pick up the glass.

Jiang Cheng obediently raised his glass to Yang Yulang: "Brother, I'll do it first as a respect." After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, and then poured a full glass to Yi Feng, "Brother Yi, this glass is toast to you, thank you!"

Yi Feng clinked glasses with him, and each drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing that they had drunk, Yan Ying began to add chicken soup to Yang Yulang's bowl: "Look at your child, is he anemic? Come and eat more vegetables."

The two mothers and sons added vegetables to Yang Yulang's bowl almost continuously, and the bowl was full after a while. This enthusiasm was really unstoppable.

"Eat quickly, eat while it's hot, Auntie's skills can't be put on the table, if it doesn't taste good, you should take care of it, you must be full..."

"Come on, have another drink."

"Ah Cheng, quickly pour the wine..."

"Yi Feng, you like spicy food, just like me, Ah Cheng, come on, eat more of this lotus root."

"Yulang, your food is light. Next time I come here, I will cook a few more light dishes. I won't be able to entertain you well today. Don't mind..."
