The group walked into the Shen family's yard.
Shen Yao took the initiative to introduce the two parties so that everyone could get to know each other.
After all, we will be together in the village for a few days.
If you don't even know the other person's last name, you won't know how to address him/her, which would be very embarrassing.
Zheng Yaozu walked into the yard and looked around, then nodded with satisfaction, "My dear granddaughter, your house is well built. Xiao Yibao and I will live here for the next few days."
It is too tiring to run back and forth between the county town and the countryside every day. It is better to stay at my granddaughter's house. When I have nothing to do, I can go to the fields and experience farm work.
Shen Yao smiled at him and said, "Okay, Grandpa, you can stay as long as you want. Your granddaughter welcomes you with both hands."
Before, she was worried that her grandfather would not be able to get used to the countryside. After all, the environment in the village is not as good as that in the county town, and many places are inconvenient. Now that her grandfather likes it, she is relieved.
"Yaoyao, I see there are quite a few mountains behind the village. There should be a lot of wild animals there, right?"
Zheng Yaozu put his hands behind his back and looked towards the mountains not far away. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to go for a stroll in the mountains right now.
"Grandpa, please come in and sit down first!" Shen Yao took him into the house and replied with a smile, "There are a lot of wild animals in the mountains. I will take you to hunt in the mountains tomorrow, and we can also barbecue in the mountains."
She hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time and really missed the taste.
Clean the fresh game, skewer it on a rack and roast it slowly over a fire. The roasted meat is tender and crispy, and sprinkled with homemade seasonings, it tastes very delicious.
Zheng Yaozu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This is a good idea. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow morning and stay in there for a day. The harvest will definitely be great."
Jun Jinmo moved all the things in the car into the house, and then said calmly, "The day after tomorrow, my uncle and his family will be here tomorrow morning. It would be bad if Yaoyao is not here."
"Then let's set it for the morning of the day after tomorrow. When everyone is here, it will be lively when we go up the mountain together." Shen Yao nodded in reply.
Zheng Yaozu's tone was filled with disdain, and he said in a muffled voice, "They came just like that. They have arms and legs, but they actually wanted Yaoyao to wait for them at home. They are really shameless."
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat barbecue tomorrow, he felt very unhappy. He somehow felt that it was a wrong decision to let them come to An County.
What's more, he has never enjoyed such treatment before, but now, it has fallen to that group of hooligans.
Shen Yao lowered her head and smiled secretly. She had no idea what the Zheng family would think if they heard what she said. Just because the old man couldn't go up the mountain tomorrow, the whole family was abandoned by him.
Shen Yao hugged his arm and smiled to comfort him, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Let's wait for another day. When we go to the mountains, let them go hunting and your granddaughter will grill meat for you."
"Good granddaughters are still the best, so I will reluctantly wait for them." Zheng Yaozu said with his head raised.
Wang Feng laughed enough and came over with a cup of tea. She placed the cup in front of Zheng Yaozu and said politely, "Master, please have some tea!"
Zheng Yaozu nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, then secretly glanced around at the Shen family members standing in the room, his expression showing satisfaction.
This family had good character and their eyes were bright and measured. Even though there were a lot of things in the house, they didn't look around at them.
They are not greedy people. Such people are worthy of Yaoyao's friendship.
The morning passed quickly. At this time, Shen Yao and her aunt were already preparing lunch in the kitchen.
It’s different when there are more people. Everyone has a clear division of labor, and in the end it took an hour to prepare two full tables of meals.
At the dinner table, Shen Yao buried her head in eating. She could no longer bear to watch because once the old man touched alcohol, he would drink endlessly.
The old man has been persuading my uncle to drink at the table. If this continues, my uncle might not even finish his meal but be drunk by his grandfather.
After lunch, everyone sat in the main room and chatted about family matters. Shen Yao poured everyone a cup of sobering tea and asked them to drink it, which would help them sober up.
Zheng Yaozu drank some sobering tea and rested for a while. He asked Jun Jinmo to bring the gifts over and started distributing them to everyone.
He waved at the children, "Come here, all of you kids, come over and get your gifts."
"Mr. Zheng, this is not possible. You are here as guests in Shenjia Village, and it is our duty to entertain you all. We cannot let you spend so much money." Shen Guoqing stopped him.
Jun Jinmo divided the gifts and handed Shen Guoqing his share. He said slowly, "Uncle Shen, this is a small gift from Grandpa Zheng and I. It is not a valuable item. Please accept it with peace of mind."
Shen Guoqing looked at him, took the things in his hand, sighed, and said that he would wait until the autumn harvest this year to send them some food.
Hu Zi looked at the gift in his hand, his big eyes full of smiles. He thanked politely, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, uncle!"
Tiedan and Yaya held the gifts and smiled happily, saying thank you, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, uncle!"
"Puh, cough, cough——" Shen Qiu choked when she heard the nephew calling her nephew. She smiled at the three people and said, "Huzi, Grandpa Zheng is your aunt Yaoyao's grandpa. You guys also call him grandpa. This generation has got it wrong."
"Haha - it's okay, kids don't understand these things," Zheng Yaozu said happily with a smile on his face, "Okay, all of you go play."
Xu Dani was holding the things and didn't know what to say, "Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you and Jin Mo spend money this time. Next time you come to Shenjia Village, don't bring things with you."
"Okay, next time we come to the village, we will go to your house empty-handed and eat and drink for free. That way you won't have anything to say." Zheng Yaozu replied with a smile.
Shen Guoqing said happily, "Mr. Zheng, you can come anytime. Our whole family welcomes you anytime!"
Jun Jinmo raised his eyes and said in a steady voice, "Master Zheng, let's sit down and discuss what to do with the banquet on the 28th."
"Yes, let's finalize this first." Zheng Yaozu nodded quickly. He looked at Shen Yao beside him and asked with a gentle smile, "My dear granddaughter, what do you think about the engagement wine?"
Shen Yao smiled at him and said, "Grandpa, actually I just want us to have a meal together. There's no need to invite other people."
This was what she had thought of from the beginning. She was not familiar with the people in the village and she rarely went out together. Except for the aunt's family, everyone else in the village was a stranger to her.
Since she had never met them before, she didn't want to have anything to do with them in the future. After all, she couldn't say anything good about the character of those women.
Besides, she is just engaged now and there is no need to make it known to everyone, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Zheng Yaozu asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Why don't you invite the villagers to dinner to witness it?"
Shen Yao answered seriously, "Grandpa, no need. I usually live in the city and rarely come back to visit. My relationship with everyone is very ordinary."
"Just follow Yaoyao's arrangements." Jun Jinmo looked at the other party and nodded.
Zheng Yaozu thought for a moment, rubbed her head, and said lovingly, "Okay, then we'll have a family dinner for the engagement, and when your granddaughter gets married, I'll help you arrange it."
"Okay, thank you Grandpa!" Shen Yao leaned on his arm and smiled sweetly.
It is her luck and blessing to meet a grandfather who loves her so much!
