Chapter 465: Stay for the New Year! (Page 2/2)
I know that my grandparents may not have eaten it yet, so I highly recommend that they eat more.
Father Jiang and Zhou Guiyun both agreed with a smile.
After dinner, don’t rush back home, come to the teahouse to have some tea.
These are all stores that opened this year. They really popped up like mushrooms after a rain.
Jiang Qian asked her parents if the family was busy.
"Not very busy. Your father has only contracted a few acres of land. Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother often come back to help with those acres. How busy can he be? The same goes for me. Although I will help your eldest brother and others raise pigs, your nephews and nieces can also be ordered around." Zhou Guiyun said.
Gu Yunlan smiled and said, "Aunt, how many pigs do you have at home?"
"I have fifteen pigs."
Gu Yunlan grew up in the countryside. "Fifteen pigs is no small matter. I used to raise pigs for the brigade. There was endless grass to cut and feed to cook. It was very busy."
She knew very early on that she had to cut grass for pigs and help cook pig food to earn work points. She really supported herself with her own abilities in her adoptive parents' home!
"You are really busy, but you keep saying you are not busy." Jiang Qian said, "Your hair has turned so white."
"How can people not have white hair when they get old?" Zhou Guiyun didn't care.
That's true, but her mother-in-law doesn't have as many white hairs as her mother.
Because she came to live with them early, she looks much younger than her mother.
"I don't care about that, but you can't just stay for a while and leave, otherwise I will be angry. You have to spend the New Year here before going back." Jiang Qian said.
"That's too long." said Jiang's father.
"How long? I wanted to tell you not to go back and retire here." Jiang Qian said with confidence.
Both Jiang's father and Zhou Guiyun laughed.
Zhou Guiyun said angrily, "That won't do. We don't have no son. If we have a son and he still stays at my daughter's house, the whole village will laugh at your brother and his family."
This is the old tradition. If you have a son, there is no reason for you to live with your daughter in your old age. You should live with your son and daughter-in-law.
"Your third brother also wants to take us to the city." Jiang's father said to his daughter, "He has even hired an old chef to cook and has someone to clean the house. He wants us to live a comfortable life there, but your mother and I are still used to living in the countryside."
"That's right." Zhou Guiyun nodded.
Jiang Shouhe's son came back to the village every time and brought back some supplements every time. He brought back several old ginsengs.
Zhou Guiyun has often picked ginseng roots, cut them into slices and stewed them with chicken. This time, she also brought two old ginsengs that had not been touched, intending to use them as health supplements for her daughter and son-in-law.
However, this time it is indeed a rare trip, and the old couple thought that they didn’t know when they would come again in the future, so they agreed to stay here for the New Year and go back after the New Year.
"You have to call your third brother and tell him." Zhou Guiyun smiled. She had planned to go back before the New Year, but her daughter didn't agree.
"Okay, it's a small matter!" Jiang Qian was happy and planned to go back and make more delicious food for her parents!
When the time was almost up, Zhang Xiaohui took them back by car.
It is very convenient to take the bus now because a new route was added this year. There is a direct bus from the staff quarters to here, and it arrives in more than 40 minutes!
