The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife
Chapter 378: [Preparation before leaving]
Joey asked her to buckle her seat belt, started the car and left the house.
"It's no different from other cars, I like SUVs better by comparison."
Although this car is also very stable to drive, of course, the speed-up time is also considered to be the best among sports cars, but the internal space of the sports car is a bit narrow. She likes the spacious and comfortable space of the suv.
This sports car was the graduation ceremony Xu Rui returned from graduating from Harvard that year. Xu Ning bought him the graduation ceremony. Joey usually drove it here. Xu Rui bought two more cars, a wild off-road vehicle. A business SUV, and Xu Rui usually drives her to and from work. She doesn't drive her often. Unless she is out socializing with Xu Rui, she will drive home instead.
Ren Yue hasn’t taken a driver’s license yet. She thought about summer vacation before, but she was always procrastinating. Now that she saw the car, she decided to take the driver’s license test next summer vacation. As for whether she could drive a car, she was not in a hurry. Don't suffer.
The car stopped outside the Fanghuayuan community, and Ren Yue wanted to invite Joey to sit upstairs.
"I'm not going up anymore, you have seen it, there are still things at home, I have to go back to help, you go there early on New Year's Eve."
"I see, auntie, go slowly!"
Joey and Ren Yue waved, rolled the window and drove away.
A young couple walked out of the small area and saw the black sports car, the man's eyes lit up.
"Ren Yue, who will take you home?" Could it be the big boss?
"My relatives' auntie." Ren Yue and the two greeted them and walked into the community with their things.
As for whether the other party believes it or not, it has nothing to do with Ren Yue. Anyway, these two people are just residents in the community, and they can only meet each other when they go up and down or in the community park.
Standing at the door of the house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the door opened soon after.
"Isn't it the key you brought?" Jiang Xiuqing wiped the drip on his hand.
The mother and daughter went home with their things, and Ren Yue said: "Carrying things upstairs, I'm not lightly tired, Mom, I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while."
"Go, call you to eat tonight?"
"eat!"
Near the end of the year, the days passed quickly, and almost a day's time passed in a flash.
My sister-in-law Zhou also took a holiday before she was a little girl and went back to her hometown for the New Year. The meals were all made by her own family.
Xu Ning’s company also had a holiday on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. She and Xie Zheng drove over early in the morning on the New Year’s Eve. Today, the family is destined to be very busy. Xu Ning’s lunch is almost always in charge. This is already New Year’s Eve. The convention too.
Who makes Xu Ning the best cooking?
When they came, Xu Jianjun and Qin Xuejuan were cleaning up the slaughtered chicken at the kitchen door.
Joey is pregnant, she is not picky about eating, nor does she have morning sickness, but the taste of this freshly slaughtered chicken is not something ordinary people can bear. She was almost vomited before. I rushed back to the backyard, and couldn't stay in the front yard at all.
"Here? Come and take a look. Let's make some dishes at noon." Qin Xuejuan greeted Xu Ning.
She stepped forward and looked at the green vegetables and fish that had been prepared on the kitchen roundabout. About 17 or 8 dishes were ordered. This year, Ren Junran's family will also come over. These dishes are not enough, but these people add up. It's not a small amount, at least two dozen dishes should be prepared.
"Prepare some more. This year there will be more Mingzong family. Let's add six more dishes than in previous years."
"Okay, look at the preparation, I will help your dad clean up the chicken, he can't clean it all by himself."
"Who said that." Xu Jianjun retorted, "Isn't it a little zheng to help me."
Xie Zheng laughed and said, "I'll go to the room and change my clothes first."
"Hurry up, the hair on this upsets me."
Xu Ning took off his coat and stuffed it into his mother's arms, and then stepped forward to look at the seven or eight chickens in the oversized stainless steel basin. The chicken was naturally in Xu Ning's space, but she sent it three or four days ago. , I just packed up today.
"The chicken drumsticks will be fried for the children alone at that time. Are there any bread crumbs at home?" Xu Ning opened the cabinet with various materials, and saw an iron box in it with English characters written on it. Reach out from it. Take it out and give the children fried chicken drumsticks at that time. Their fried chicken drumsticks are definitely not worse than the outside ones. Even without so many additives outside, at least her chicken is the best in the world.
Xie Zheng went to the back room and changed to an old sweetheart-necked sweater. The outside was a black plush fashion waistcoat. He returned to the kitchen, took the stool and met his father-in-law face to face, and began to pull these chickens. The tiny vellus hair on top.
The Xu family’s kitchen is still very spacious. There are two rooms in the only wing of the family. One is the Tukang of two elderly people. This one is the kitchen. The area is about 40 square meters. I changed a batch. They were all convenient and easy-to-use high-end kitchenware, and the old ladies used them very neatly.
When it was first replaced, the old lady didn't even dare to use the soymilk machine. Now, microwave ovens, induction cookers, etc. are very skilled.
Xu Ning started to use the knife to wash the dishes. She can cut the potato shreds extremely evenly, and there is almost no suspense about the thickness. The tofu cubes are also the same size.
At any rate, he is also a person who has been going back to school for many years. He has superb cooking skills and excellent knife skills, so it goes without saying.
When Ren Junran's family came over, it was around nine o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he walked in, Jiang Xiuqing went to the kitchen to help Xu Ning cook.
Xu Ning didn't refuse, otherwise Jiang Xiuqing designated that she would be polite with her and would be uncomfortable staying here.
"I brought the fried fruit, where should I put it?" Jiang Xiuqing asked, carrying two big bags of fried fruit.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ning hurried forward to help her pick up a bag, then opened a fresh-keeping cabinet and put two large bags of fried fruit in it.
"It's troublesome to do it? You have done it three times this year."
"It doesn't matter, there is nothing to bring at home, you like to eat, I have more time, so I will make some for you, and call me if you want to eat."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I really like what you made. Steam it in a pot. Xuan Xuan is soft and chewy. It also has the sweet taste of pumpkin and sweet potato. The craftsmanship is very good. "
"I can figure this out." Jiang Xiuqing laughed.
Ren Junran spoke with the old man in the room for a while, followed to the kitchen, and got together with Xu Jianjun and Weng to clean up the chicken.
Xu Ning and Jiang Xiuqing prepared all the dishes and started cooking.
"Brother Zheng, give me the chopped chicken drumsticks alone."
"Okay!" Xie Zheng turned the knife and chopped off the chicken legs, then the chicken feet, chicken legs and chicken thighs were cut and classified separately, and the chicken legs were given to Xu Ning.
The chicken drumsticks were not just pickled and put in the oil pan. Xu Ning turned over the chicken at the end of the chicken drumsticks, revealing a bone, and then pickled it, so that the children can eat the end bones in the paper while eating. Convenient, trouble-free and clean.
And the whole fried chicken legs look very beautiful, like grenade one by one.
Xu Ning often did this in the past, and the family members are used to it. The taste is the same, but it is slightly novel.
There are three gas stoves at home, two woks and one stew pot. Xu Ning usually meets guests at home, and all three stoves can be used at the same time.
Jiang Xiuqing came to help today. He couldn't get a handle here, so he used an induction cooker to cook some squeezed vegetables, such as fried tenderloin, fried peanuts and so on.
This year, the family of Ren Junran has become more lively, and the old man's smile is much brighter.
Fortunately, Ren Junran's family is a good one.
The old lady became anxious, and chatted with Gao Xiulan in a low voice next to her.
"The descendants of my second elder brother's family came here in the first month. I heard that it was on the fifth and sixth day of the first month. Everyone rented a car."
"It's fine, isn't it? Didn't you think about it before? Now you can finally see it."
"I miss my second elder brother, but the second elder brother is gone, just look at his children and grandchildren, I am afraid that there are those who are not thinking right in this large group of people."
In fact, not everyone is afraid of poor relatives, they are afraid of those poor relatives who always don't want to take advantage of you.
Back then, their family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, but they did not go to aunt's grandma's house for a bite.
But not everyone thinks that way. Xu Jianjun’s aunt’s life at home is much better than Yu Chunhua’s. Every time the grain is distributed, she will drag her family to their home to catch the autumn breeze. When she leaves, she will eat and take. of?
The current good life in the family is the result of the children's hard work, and any success is inseparable from their own hard work.
Children are filial, and when they are old, they cannot be generous to others, even if they are their offspring.
She has only raised her children when she is so old, and now she is living comfortably. If she embarrass her children for the sake of outsiders, wouldn't she be "old and immortal"?
If the offspring of the second brother's family are good, the old lady will naturally give some face, but if she is thinking about taking advantage, then she will not let them **** the blood of her own children.
Not to mention what the younger generation is at home, no matter how much younger you are, it is not as important as your parents and grandchildren.
It's not an old lady's style to die to save face and to suffer.
"I hope those kids don't let me down!"
Gao Xiulan patted the back of her hand. At this time, she said nothing was appropriate. What if she came to take advantage of the autumn wind?
Soon the family started to have dinner, and the table at home was full of people, adding up to a small twenty size, this year was very lively.
When the old man started to move his chopsticks, the restaurant suddenly became noisy.
In the evening, Ren Junran and his family spent the night here, so the red wine was poured separately.
Tonight these men will be here to watch the night until midnight, when the family will eat dumplings, and then the square in front of the Forbidden City will display fireworks for a long time. Whether the children go, it depends on their father. , Anyway, Xu Ning and the others didn't plan to go. They were busy all day and got dumplings after the New Year's Eve dinner.
After lunch, the family has to be busy making dumplings. When the men are watching the night, they will make up their sleep first, otherwise they will not be able to sustain it at night.
At the end of the lively lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap. After three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ning and Jiang Xiuqing came to the kitchen to prepare dumplings.
As for what to eat in the afternoon, the family can take care of it casually.
Many people now put dumplings for the evening meal, but Xu Ning’s family has not changed the rules. After all, the two elderly people are still alive. This is the rule of their old age on New Year’s Eve. Yes, the Spring Festival Gala may not be finished. Even if you can stay up all night, most of them will get together to play cards and mahjong together, not at home.
Of course, there are many people in their family, and they can make at least two Mahjong tables at night.
Xie Zheng and Xu Rui came to help soon. Ren Junran didn't know how to cook. He could only come here to help organize dumplings, and he would make this too.
But Guozhuang’s side, because they are going to the imperial capital in the first month of the year, the statistics of the people who go there are calculated. There are more than 40 people in total. At the end of the year, everyone went to the city to buy new clothes. The price is not expensive. After all, children Many, all buying new clothes is a big expense for them.
The children were especially happy, thinking that they would be able to play in the Imperial Capital soon, and this year will pass more happily than ever.
There are more than 20 children in these families. It is not happy to talk about who to take and who to leave. In the end, the old aunt of Yu's family decided, and the children brought them to the aunt to see.
Now the family gathers together, three words are not separated from the Imperial Capital and Xu Family, especially the children, and they are looking forward to passing sooner day and night.
For the children here, the farthest place they go is probably the city. This city is not Mocheng, but a county-level city under its jurisdiction. This time, they can go directly to the imperial capital. In other words, there is only the name in the textbook, so why not expect it.
New year's money is just rolling in their parents' hearts several times. For children, it is best for children to go far away to play. It is enough to have delicious food, drink and fun.
The children’s parents are also not good at telling the children about the New Year’s money. What if the aunt and grandma don’t give it to them, and the children say they leak, do they still have to face it?
In the village, you may not care if you have a thick skin, but you have to pay more attention to that kind of people.
If you annoy the Xu family, wouldn't it be cut off in the future?
People's identity, wanting to suppress them, may be a matter of minutes.
There are also relatives who say that wealthy people have a good face and so on. Even if they are poor relatives, the Xu family will not do excessive things.
This is purely a standard silly and sweet idea. For the Xu family, if they really want to punish you, they only need a simple, or even specious excuse, which is enough to break your blood.
There are so many ways to kill people without seeing blood. If you really want to try, whether the consequences can bear or not depends on your own ability.
From the first day of the new year, everyone who was going to the imperial capital began to get busy, and they would gather together every day to discuss what to bring to the imperial capital.
The native products at home are nothing more than the land. You can bring some, such as peanuts and potatoes that you grow at home. They can be stored for a long time, and the ones you grow at home are definitely safer than what they can eat in the city.
