Chapter 120: Hometown trivia (1/2)
The child An An is very well-behaved. He ate and slept, ate after he slept, cried a few times after peeing, and stopped crying immediately after changing the diaper.
"This child knows that he loves his mother, and he will be a filial and good child in the future." The old lady hugged the child, rare. "Look at these big eyes, they are almost carved out of you."
An An, who is almost full moon, has slowly opened up. His forehead, eyebrows and nose are like Sheng Jingchuan, and his eyes and mouth are like Ye Ning. They are white and tender, like a fairy boy. Everyone likes it.
"Grandma, Aunt Lin asked you to go to eat. Go to eat first. Later, the food is cold." Ye Ning couldn't laugh or cry.
The old lady reluctantly went to eat, Sheng Jingchuan came in with the food specially made for her.
"What is today?" Except for the lighter days in the first few days, Ye Ning was afraid to eat a chicken one day later.
"Pigeon soup, qi and blood, the oil is skimmed, not greasy, taste it." Sheng Jingchuan scooped a spoonful into Ye Ning's mouth, "and your favorite minced meat eggplant, Chinese cabbage."
"I want to eat hot and sour Chinese cabbage." Chinese cabbage is available, and there is still a big difference between stir-fried Chinese cabbage and hot and sour Chinese cabbage.
Sheng Jingchuan patiently coaxed her, "In a few days, when you are out of confinement, I will fry hot and sour Chinese cabbage for you every day."
Knowing that he is doing it for herself, Ye Ning is acting like a baby, and she won't really make trouble to eat.
Ye Ning has seen too much confinement science. During the period, she wanted to wash her hair and take a bath. She was strictly prevented by the old lady. She also said that she was weak and could not do it for a month. She had to sit in confinement. She almost scared Ye Ning to death. After fighting hard, both sides stepped back and sat for forty-two days of confinement.
On the day of confinement, Ye Ning's first thing was to wash her hair and take a bath. After washing for almost two hours, she was refreshed.
"This confinement is too difficult." I remember that when her sister-in-law was confinement, she could listen to music, listen to it, and occasionally have fun with it. Now, except for the morning newspaper, she has no entertainment at all.
The old lady nodded her forehead, that is, now the conditions are good, but a few years ago, it would be impossible to confinement like this, let alone a chicken a day, an egg a day is an excellent treatment.
The newborn child is the same every day. When An Anhui turns over, it is July that Yelan and Eucalyptus are just going to have summer vacation. I didn’t go back last year for Chinese New Year, and I didn’t return to Qingming Festival this year. I have to go back to my hometown this summer. An An is too young , Don't bring it. Ye Ning has been weaned. Ye Ning will come out within a few days after returning. It shouldn't be a big problem.
Yelan and Eucalyptus will stay in their hometown for a longer time. The tiles of the old house need to be turned over. The homestead in the village must be approved by the village. There are also the three houses bought in the county. At the end of last year, Ye Song We were assigned to a house with Li Xiulan and moved out in April this year. They will also be demolished and rebuilt. It is estimated that this summer vacation will not be finished, and we will have to go back to build the house next year.
"Sister, shouldn’t the homestead in the village be sold?" The shoe store jointly opened by Ye Gum and Ye Ning has a very good business. At the end of last year, it was allocated 70,000 yuan. After changing hands, Ye Ning bought one. The triad courtyard on the second ring road may have been affected by Ye Ning. He also likes to buy a house now, but he already has one in his hometown, so he feels that there is no need to build another one.
"No, you can't sell the homestead of your hometown wherever you are. That's the result of how much effort your dad took? When he was there, he used to say that when we all finished reading, we would start building a house so that we could marry you. "Who would have thought that the three brothers and sisters had bought houses in the county and Beicheng so early, but the homesteads there could not be sold either, "My hometown is the root, it cannot be broken."
Hearing this, Eucalyptus Yeah didn’t say anything. At that time, for the two homesteads, Ye Qingshan, who had always been honest, even started with someone. He broke someone’s head with a **** and lost fifty yuan. For this, mother Scolded for a whole winter.
Ye Ning estimated that she would not go back to her hometown to provide for the elderly. In the future, she would go back to sweep the grave and have a place to live. If there is no money, he will not build it. If there is money, he can build another one, but it is not necessary now.
"You are not short of money. Keep it. When you are older, you can decide whether to build a house or not." Ye Ning ended the topic and asked, "How do you plan to build a house in the county seat?"
Ye Lan means to open up the rooms, three rooms and one staircase. After going back to Chinese New Year or to sweep the tomb, the three families are together, there are many people, and Ye Ning disagrees. When they become homes in the future, they will live together for several days. It's better to make conflicts, but to manage their own things. Ye Ning is casual, but he listens more to Ye Ning's words. In the end, two to one, Ye Ning won.
After not going home for more than a year, Ye Ning came back and looked at the houses and people in the village with a strange feeling.
"This is Ye Ning? Look at it again, oh, Xiao Lan and Xiao An are back?" The old branch secretary's wife sat knitting a sweater under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Seeing them, she quickly put down her work. "I haven't been back for so long, you probably don't even have a place to get off your feet. Or else go to my house first and have dinner with me tonight."
"No, we have to take advantage of the dawn to quickly clean up the house, otherwise there will be no place to sleep at night." Ye Ning and Ye Lan took out the prepared fruits and distributed them to the grandfather and old women under the tree. The children each had a big handful of candies, and they went home in a row, followed by a bunch of children, which was very lively.
They all say that they have short hands and short mouths. Whether it is an adult or a child, after eating the food of their three brothers and sisters, they are naturally embarrassed to say bad things. All pick good things to say.
After learning that Ye Ning had given birth to a son, congratulations continued to flow, and many people asked her why she didn't bring the baby back.
"The child is too young, and this boat is overwhelming. I'll be older next time and I will definitely bring it back for you to see." Ye Ning opened the door and there was no weed in the yard.
It's strange that the mother-in-law next door has already helped explain, "You three uncles and three uncles come over to weed the weeds every three to five, and you often come to clean the house. See if the house is clean."
It's really clean, unlike a home that hasn't been back for more than a year. It looks like a ten-and-a-half-month-long trip. In other words, San Shu and San Uncle had just cleaned it ten days ago.
The three siblings quickly cleaned up the house. When making the bed, the mats and bedding were obviously exposed to the sun, which smelled of the sun. She and Ye Lan could use them with a shake.
It’s almost done here, and the third uncle came, "I guess you have done it almost too. I have already boiled sugar-water eggs on my side. Let me go over and eat a little bit at my side."
Knowing that Ye Ning and the others came back, the third aunt and two daughters-in-law had already started to work.
"By the way, how about peace? Didn't come back with you?" The third uncle knew that Ye Ning had already given birth to a child, and she didn't see the child, so she asked, "Where is the child? His father took him out to play?"
"Ping An’s company has something, so I won’t come this time. The child is too young. I will definitely bring him to see you next time." Sheng Jingchuan’s company had a temporary situation and had to stay in Beicheng to deal with it. no need to worry.
Ye Ning didn't expect San Shugong's house to be so lively. Not only the uncle and the second cousin in the lobby came, but also the cousin who married outside.
"Xiaoning, you went back to Beicheng directly last time. I didn't even have the opportunity to invite you to dinner. I must have dinner at my house tomorrow noon." It was the second aunt who spoke with Ye Yang's solid craftsmanship. It is also a formal worker who eats national food.
All this is thanks to Ye Ning. If it weren't for Ye Ning's introduction, Ye Yang wouldn't be able to enter the furniture factory no matter how good his craftsmanship was.
"Second mother, you are too polite. My own kitchen has been cleaned up and I can cook." Ye Ning quickly refused.
"Just eat a meal, there is nothing to eat. If you dislike it, then forget it." The second aunt said this deliberately, and Ye Ning didn't want to agree to it.
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest mother also asked them to go to her house for dinner, and they had already agreed to the second mother's house. If they didn't go to their house, they would not give them face. There was no way but to agree.
After two days of riding in the car, the three of them were all tired. After eating, they went back and went to sleep after a brief wash. They had to go to the grave on the mountain the next morning.
Ye Qingshan’s tomb is not high in weeds. Sanshugong and the others helped weed the weeds during the Qingming Festival. This is why Ye Ning tried to help them. The family house also has Ye Qingshan’s tomb, thanks to Sanshugong’s care.
The grass on the tomb was removed first, and then the three siblings kowtowed Ye Qingshan, and while burning paper money, they whispered about their experiences in Beicheng.
"An An has already turned over. After two years, he will be older. I will take him to see you. Brother Ping will not be able to come this time. I will ask him to kowtow to you to apologize. We will come once a year and burn more. Give you the money, don't be reluctant to spend it, if it is not enough, just drag a dream." Ye Ning said a lot of An'an things, hoping that the grandfather Ye Qingshan will be alive in the sky, and how much will protect An'an health and safety.
Yelan and Eucalyptus on the side were whispering and didn't know what they were talking about. They talked a lot, and it was almost noon. The three brothers and sisters packed their things and went back.
Eat at noon at the eldest mother's house, and eat at the second mother's house in the evening. After dinner, on the way back, I bumped into their second uncle who came to see them and asked them to go to his house to eat at noon tomorrow.
"Tomorrow we are going to my uncle and aunt's house. I guess we ate there at noon." Ye Ning declined.
Their family itself is relatively close to the third uncle, and the third uncle has always taken good care of them, so Ye Ning should first think of the third uncle for any benefit.
Except for walking around during the New Year, the second uncle didn't help them much, so I was embarrassed to have dinner.
Saying to go to my uncle and aunt is not a lie to them.
As soon as the second uncle came home, her daughter-in-law asked quickly: "Mom, what did Ye Ning say? Will I go to our house for dinner tomorrow? I'm ready to prepare."
