Shen Xiao kept his word and got up at four in the morning the next day. He drove the car with two slabs of pork and headed straight to Qiao Changhai's home in the city.
At 6:10 in the morning, Shen Xiao slammed the door of Qiao Changhai's house.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua were so scared that their faces changed.
Qiao Changhai calmed down a little and whispered to comfort his wife: "Don't be afraid, maybe you came to the wrong door."
Bao Huihua had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of banging on the door outside getting louder.
"Dad, is mom up yet? I'm Shen Xiao, I'm back from a mission to see you two."
Hearing Shen Xiao introduce himself, the old couple breathed a sigh of relief. Qiao Changhai knew that Shen Xiao would not come to his house easily, so he hurried out to open the door.
The large vermilion iron gate opened, and Qiao Changhai saw Shen Xiao standing in front of a jeep in a military uniform.
"Why are you here so early? Come in!"
Qiao Changhai stood at the door and looked around to see if there were any neighbors around who would come out to watch the fun.
Unfortunately, it was still dark in Heilongjiang Province at six in the morning, so even if someone tried to peek at Qiao Changhai, they wouldn’t be able to see him clearly.
Shen Xiao saw through his father-in-law's thoughts and smiled deeply: "Don't worry, no one will open the door."
Even if someone peeked at Shen Xiao, he was not worried, because he always drove a jeep every time he came. The neighbors around also know that the Qiao family’s son-in-law is a soldier.
"That's good, come in."
Qiao Changhai thought Shen Xiao was on a mission and passed by the house to have a meal. After opening the door, he turned around and led the person into the house. After taking a few steps, he heard two loud thuds of something heavy falling to the ground.
Turning back, with the help of the light in the room, I discovered that there was a silk bag on each side of Shen Xiao's feet.
"Bringing back the coal again?"
Qiao Changhai quickly moved closer and asked in a low voice. He reached into his trouser pocket, pulled out the key and opened the door to the west wing.
"Dad, Baozhu bought some pork. I want you to keep some for the New Year and sell the rest as soon as possible."
After entering the wing room, Shen Xiao opened the bag, revealing the pork inside.
Seeing two bags of pork, Qiao Changhai took a breath and asked Shen Xiao in surprise and joy: "It's not a festival, where did the pigs come from?"
Shen Xiao understood Qiao Changhai's voice-over and smiled faintly: "I checked it, it's not a sick pig or a dead pig. The owner of this house was in a hurry to use the money, so he killed two pigs."
Qiao Changhai nodded and said with emotion: "So that's how it is. Well, come to think of it, if it wasn't for selling it for money, who would kill pigs at this time?"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to tie the bag tightly and patted Shen Xiao's arm: "It's cold in this room, let's go back to the house to eat."
Shen Xiao could see clearly that Qiao Changhai, this stingy old man, was unwilling to leave a piece of meat for himself.
He saw through it but didn't say anything, and followed Qiao Changhai into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, the heat hit me in the face.
Qiao Changhai patted the kang and greeted Shen Xiao warmly: "Take off your shoes and sit on the kang. You've been driving all morning, you must be frozen, right?"
When his daughter married Shen Xiao, Qiao Changhai was always worried that the difference in status between the two families was too great and Shen Xiao would dislike him as his father-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao is such a good son-in-law. Not only has he never disliked the old couple, he also often visits them and supports them.
Now, whether it is his colleagues or neighbors, everyone knows that Qiao Guizi is lucky to have a son-in-law who is an officer.
Especially those colleagues at work who used to look down on him, now speak to him politely.
Qiao Changhai was enjoying the moment when Shen Xiao beside him suddenly said something.
"Dad, let's keep 30 to 40 kilograms of meat."
Qiao Changhai was unable to catch his breath and was nearly choked to death by his saliva.
Kabakaba eyes, looking at Shen Xiao in disbelief: "Leave 30 or 40 kilograms of pork?"
"Thirty kilograms of pork, your mother and I can celebrate the New Year next year."
Shen Xiao knew that the old couple were particularly stingy with him, but he didn't expect them to be so stingy. Judging from Qiao Changhai's tone, eating 30 kilograms of pork for a year would be considered a luxury.
"This year is the first Spring Festival after Baozhu and I got married. I should take Baozhu home to meet my parents. But I'm staying on duty this year, so I can only shamelessly eat with Baozhu at your place."
"We both don't know what to prepare..."
Before Shen Xiao finished speaking, Qiao Changhai's eyes were already shining. With her mouth stretched to her cheeks, she waved her hands happily at her son-in-law: "So you two are going to celebrate the New Year here. Hahaha, you don't have to prepare anything if you celebrate the New Year here."
"Fish and meat, your mother and I will prepare them by then. No wonder they asked us to keep 30 or 40 kilograms of pork. It's New Year's Day, and there are so many people in the family. 30 or 40 kilograms of meat is not enough."
"Fifty kilograms. Go back and tell Baozhu that I told you to keep fifty kilograms of good meat. I'll help you sell the rest in the next two days."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were talking happily when Bao Huihua walked in carrying a bowl of noodles.
She just heard clearly that her daughter and son-in-law will be with them for the New Year this year. Bao Huihua already had a warm picture in her mind at this time, and she even thought about what delicious food to prepare.
"You're still in time. There's nothing prepared at home. Have some noodles. Your mother's noodle soup is delicious."
When Qiao Changhai learned that his daughter would spend the New Year with them, he was so happy that he lost himself.
Seeing Shen Xiao eating noodles without hesitation, he showed off proudly while rolling a pipe: "How about it, the noodles in soup made by your mother are delicious!"
Shen Xiao nodded, and Qiao Changhai laughed and joked: "Your wife doesn't have this skill. You usually eat in the cafeteria, right?"
Without waiting for Shen Xiao to speak, Qiao Changhai shook his head and sighed: "It's strange. When Baozhu was at home, she also learned to cook from her mother for a while."
"It's all the same seasoning and the same steps, but the food this girl cooks tastes bad. This worries her mother. With such poor cooking skills, she will be scolded every day at her husband's house."
"Hey, I didn't expect this girl to be so lucky. She doesn't have a mother-in-law, hahaha..."
Qiao Changhai was so excited that he threw his head back and laughed out loud.
Shen Xiao was drinking noodle soup from a large bowl, and when he heard this, his hand trembled and the noodle soup went into his nose.
He coughed violently...
