In the kitchen, the aroma was fragrant, and most of the food was already ready. They were all the special dishes ordered by Jiang Yan.
Shen Nian coaxed Shen's mother to do it. Of course, Shen's mother also wanted to meet Shen Nian, the legendary fairy deskmate.
Shen Nian was at home, praising her to the heavens and the earth. Not to mention her, even Shen's father had high expectations for Jiang Yan.
Chen Nian said shamelessly: "My grandparents are going to live for more than a hundred years, it's still too early, now is the time for them to worry, I am the only one in the second room, who told you and my dad not to have a second child? It's too late to practice trumpet, don't worry, sooner or later you will have a grandson, you take care of me, haven't you taken care of me enough? When the baby cries, there is no peace around my ears, you are also a person who studied abroad, but your thoughts are still so old-fashioned and conservative."
Seeing that she was still talking about herself, Mother Shen slapped her and said through gritted teeth: "Isn't it because of you that I am angry? Those people who played cards with me, their children got married, and what about you? You are just a widow.
Every time they ask, I lose the mood to play cards. You were admitted to Peking University, which made me proud. Can you bring honor to me again?
You have a house and a jeep as a dowry. How can the man look down on you? It's a good life waiting for you. I think Xiaolin is very good.
She has been following you like a tail since she was a child. Even if you don't want her, there are many people vying for her. The matchmaker Wang next door has come several times and the people she introduces are also college students.
Lin Sui is about to give in. Other people’s kids are already old enough to help with cooking. I don’t understand, is marriage so scary?”
Seeing that she was about to squint like a monk again, Shen Nian stopped: "Mom, getting married is so good, who wouldn't be anxious? No one is stupid, if that good thing is dropped on the ground, can't you not know to pick it up?
After marriage, a woman has to have children, manage the household, and take care of her parents-in-law. If she has money, she can hire a nanny, but if she has no money, it is a real sin.
I see those women who are so tired that they look like yellow-faced women. I am afraid of following in their footsteps. Don't try to persuade me. I haven't let it go. No matter how you persuade me, it's useless. You know, I'm a stubborn person. I'll wait until I want to get married."
Mother Shen poked her forehead, and said angrily, "By the time you figure it out, the daylily will be cold. Poor Xiaolin, why would he fall for a piece of wood like you? There are many good girls."
This made Shen Nian proud, "Who let me throw my heart into me, no matter how I refuse, it's useless, mother, you don't have the final say on matters of love."
Mother Shen was defeated by him, “You are still proud, don’t walk around Xiao Linga, I won’t agree, you know, I have been good friends with his mother for 20 to 30 years.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have arranged a marriage for you. It would be better to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than you. Hurry up and take this out. Your friend should have gotten it, right? Is she planning to buy both of those courtyard houses?"
A set costs three or four thousand yuan. Young people can afford so much.
Money? It's not that she looks down on Jiang Yan.
People are generally poor nowadays, and if a family has a savings of one or two thousand, they can live a carefree life.
Some ancestors had to spend several generations to be able to afford a small yard, and they still had to go without food and drink.
Even though Jiang Yan's man is an officer, a regiment commander in his twenties with a promising future, his salary is at most one or two hundred yuan.
There are three children in the family, and an elderly person as well. It is even more difficult to save money with both the elderly and the young at home.
Shen Nian said casually: "She can afford it, she is rich, you know that comic book, it was drawn by her, haven't you been chasing it? When she comes, you can ask her to sign it for you."
Shen's mother thought that Little Heroes was for children to watch, and loved the Heroines series, which made her blood boil.
He regretted countless times that he did not go to the battlefield to fight, and he had to scare those foreigners.
Her father said that she was obsessed with it, but she couldn't stand it and would get angry with anyone who said that. Fortunately, her grandfather and her mother had the same hobby.
He bought every issue of Jiang Yan. He was an old kid, an old kid. Even the little hero read with great interest. Even his grandmother couldn't do anything about him.
He used all the pocket money given to him every month to buy books, and he wished that Jiang Yan could continue to update.
Of course, she hasn't told his grandfather yet that Jiang Yan is the author of the picture book. When Jiang Yan comes, she will give his grandfather a surprise.
Who says she can't do her job? If she doesn't want to do it, then don't do it. But if she wants to do it, she'll do something big.
When Shen's mother kissed her, her eyes lit up. She grabbed Shen Nian's hand and said excitedly: "Is it true? Don't lie to me, or I'll fan you into a spinning top. Is she really the author of the comic book?"
My God, she is too young. I thought she was an old writer. I never found out her background until you met her.
How lucky are you to be her classmate and sit at the same table with her? Are these dishes enough? I'll make a few more dishes. I also know how to cook Western food. Will she be able to eat them?"
Her ancestors were imperial chefs who were very famous in Suzhou and made their fortune in the catering industry.
There were many educated people in her family, so she also went abroad to study.
Shen Nian looked at her two faces and sneered: “Oh, you were so reluctant just now, but now you are upset. As expected, women are fickle.”
Mother Shen said gently and gently: "Not forced, not forced at all, I just like to entertain your classmates, will she come next time? I will take her for afternoon tea.
I finally got something done that made me happy. I see you are always annoyed.
Mother Shen pushed her, "Okay, okay, I know you like him, so I specially invited him here. I still have to ask you for help with her yard. You can't spend money carelessly. She has three children to raise. We have to bargain for the price."
This matter is up to you. You know I am not good at speaking. "
Mother Shen patted her chest and said firmly: "That's my old sister. Can I not bargain with you? I guarantee that the price will be reduced to his satisfaction."
It would be fine if it was anyone else, but since it was Jiang Yan, she had to entertain her well and let Meizizi continue cooking.
Shen Nian walked out. Her grandfather sat and drank tea. Her grandmother stretched her neck to look out and asked her, "Why hasn't your friend come yet? Maybe something happened at home and she was delayed? Is there a phone near her house? Why don't you call her and ask what's going on? Why don't you care so much?"
Grandma is kind to people, especially the younger generations, giving them whatever she has. Sitting next to her is the son of the eldest family, Shen Nian’s cousin Shen Shiqing.
He looks handsome and like a modest gentleman, but he is the most sinister person in the family.
His eyes flashed, and he had eight hundred ideas. Shen Nian had suffered a lot at his hands, and he waved at him like walking a cat.
"Xiao Nian, come here, I have something to tell you."
Shen Nian pulled the corner of his mouth and said in embarrassment: "Brother, can you not say it? There is nothing I like to hear from you. You don't want to teach me a lesson again, do you?
My classmate is coming today. Please give me some face and we can talk about it another day. I have to go out to pick her up.
By the way, where is my cousin? She is not very envious of my mother’s cooking skills. Today, my mother has brought out all her special skills. She will regret it if she misses it.”
