Chapter 236 Cat Dong Talks About Home
236 Cat Winter Chat
Mother Qin didn't notice it when she was at home, but as soon as she left, she suddenly felt like something was missing at home.
Even Hengheng and Fantuan would express their doubts, "Where's grandma?"
Both of us were raised by our grandmother this year and had a very deep relationship with her. We suddenly found out that she was gone and we are sure to miss her.
Qin Ningning comforted them, "Grandma has gone back. When uncle has a holiday during the Chinese New Year, we will go back to celebrate the New Year."
Hengheng and Fantuan probably understood what was said, so they didn't react too much to their grandma's sudden disappearance. After all, their mom was still with them.
It's okay as long as mom is here and no one else is around.
Speaking of this, Shen Yiyi herself felt it was magical.
Because she and Qin Lie don't have much time to spend with their children. They go out in the morning and come back at night. Qin's mother Qin Xiaoyan and others take care of the children during the day. However, the brothers are closest to their own parents.
They seem to understand that mom and dad are the closest to them.
They are very happy to see their parents come back. They want their father to give them a bath and their mother to play with them for a while. They have learned from their father that they must kiss their mother before going to bed at night.
I didn't have this habit originally.
Once, Qin Lie kissed her and they saw him. From then on, they also had to kiss her before they could fall asleep.
It really made Shen Yiyi helpless and funny.
When Qin's mother went back, it was cold but it didn't snow. But in the middle of winter, it snowed.
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen also brought some wool over to knit, and everyone gathered together to chat.
Shen Yiyi washed pears and apples for them to eat.
Zhou Xiaoyun talked about the situation in his hometown: "This year, there was a family in our village that sold pigs and became a 10,000 yuan household!"
There is inevitably some envy in the words.
Even though households with a net worth of 10,000 yuan are not as rare as they were a few years ago, they are still rare in rural areas.
Feng Zhenzhen said, "It's not news that a pig farmer can make 10,000 yuan. Our neighbor, whom we all call the old cripple, was a soldier before and had a broken leg. He walked with a limp. He married a widow at the age of 40 and had a son. Later, he went to the city to sell bean sprouts. In just the past two or three years, he has replaced his adobe house with a large tiled house!"
"Really? You can make so much money just by selling bean sprouts?" Zhou Xiaoyun asked hurriedly.
You can’t buy a big brick and tile house without at least 1,000 or 2,000 yuan.
"That's what I said, too. My mother said don't underestimate bean sprouts. One pound of mung beans can grow six or seven pounds of bean sprouts using our local recipe. The profit here is huge. The old cripple drives his big black donkey into the city every day to sell them. He goes out in the morning and comes back in the evening. He always sells out everything. He makes a lot of money, but people just can't see it."
No one cared about this at first, but when the house was renovated, everyone was amazed and envious.
The two of them didn't just talk about this, they also talked about their own affairs.
For example, Zhou Xiaoyun's younger brother, "My younger brother has always been a playboy. It was okay before, but in the past few years, he finally caught up with the trend. He went out to earn some money, and guess what happened? He bought a TV!"
"Isn't that a good thing?" Feng Zhenzhen said.
Zhou Xiaoyun: "It's a good thing. My parents were very happy at first. They thought their son had made great progress and it made them proud. But guess what happened later? They almost smashed the TV!"
Shen Yiyi smiled: "Is the yard surrounded by people? They won't leave until the time is up?"
It reminded her of her neighbor Du Jiang's TV, which was really full of layers of stuff.
Zhou Xiaoyun nodded, "That's right!"
He started complaining about the troubles of having a TV at home, which made Shen Yiyi and Feng Zhenzhen unable to hold back their laughter.
After talking about Zhou Xiaoyun’s family, let’s talk about Feng Zhenzhen’s parents’ home. Her parents’ home is also in the countryside.
Her elder brother saw that people around him had become rich by doing business, so he couldn't help but want to become a self-employed person.
Things are different now. Individual business owners can be found all over the streets and the country.
Her parents were very worried about this matter and even called me to ask for advice.
"What do you want to do as a self-employed person?" Shen Yiyi asked.
"He said he wanted to open a dumpling shop."
"Dumpling shop? If you want to eat dumplings, just make them at home. Why bother going out to buy them from a shop?" Zhou Xiaoyun said.
"That's what my family said, but my eldest brother is determined to open a business and has already gone to the city to rent a house and a store."
Zhou Xiaoyun also said: "If you are so determined to do it, we can't stop you. Just let it go. You know what you are like now."
Feng Zhenzhen nodded, "I also advised my parents that. In fact, it's not bad to go and explore. The older generation hopes that the eldest son can inherit the family land, but they have contracted a lot of land."
This is a normal thought.
As the three of them were chatting, they heard a knock on the door. "Yi Yi, it's me."
As soon as Shen Yiyi heard the voice, she knew who it was and didn't want to open the door.
But I still came out to open the door.
Yang Fengxian saw Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen, "Sister-in-law, you are here too."
"Well, come and sit down."
"Yi Yi, do you have any garlic at home? I forgot to buy some." Yang Fengxian said to Shen Yi Yi.
Shen Yiyi glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I forgot to buy it here too. Can you go ask other stores if they have it?"
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll be leaving first." Yang Fengxian pouted and turned away. Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen immediately asked, "Does she come here often to borrow things?"
"Not often, just once in a while."
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen talked about some of the complaints from their sisters-in-law.
Yang Fengxian has only been here for a short time, but he has become very famous. Today he asks to borrow some garlic, tomorrow he asks to borrow some ginger, the day after tomorrow he asks to borrow some soy sauce, and the day after tomorrow he asks to borrow some salt.
Everyone borrowed money at first, after all, they were just some small things and didn't cost much money, but gradually they came to their senses and realized that this was really like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and it would never come back.
And there was that incident a few days ago about going to someone's house to make gravy soup, and everyone brought it up whenever they thought of it!
It has a terrible reputation.
Shen Yiyi has no contact with Yang Fengxian, so don't even think about borrowing anything from her.
Not to mention her, even Li Mingxia from next door and Yang Fengxian seemed to have a lot in common and hit it off right away at first.
As a result, every time I went upstairs, I had to take something from home. When I saw brown sugar, I said I didn’t have it at home and asked if I could borrow some.
When he saw the lard, he said that he was just short of it, so he scooped a spoonful and left.
There were also green onions, garlic and other things that were taken away.
After a while, Li Mingxia couldn't hold back her big mouth anymore!
But he often muttered to others outside that Yang Fengxian was taking advantage of him endlessly!
This is enough to show how powerful the opponent is!
Zhou Xiaoyun and Feng Zhenzhen stayed here for about an hour before going back.
They weren't the only ones who came to visit. Shen Yiyi would occasionally dress Hengheng and Fantuan warmly, then take them out for some fresh air and visit their homes.
The relationship has always been pretty good.
