Chapter 153 Roasted Chestnuts with Sugar

Nanjiangcheng now lives with his youngest son Nantian.

Since Zheng Juan and Nanjiang Cheng's divorce, the two have completely lost contact.

They were a half-way couple, and since they had no children together after marriage, they divorced immediately.

After the divorce, Nanjiang City was devastated in both people and money.

The 200,000 yuan of stolen money that he secretly hid at home disappeared while he was at work.

Almost all of the 50,000 yuan of private money he hid in the office was used to deal with the aftermath of his arson incident and to compensate Zheng Juan for her divorce. Twenty thousand yuan and fifty thousand yuan are not much left.

These were all his savings, and now all he has left is this house.

He could have lived a good life.

The eldest son Nan Hui works hard outside all year round and only comes back almost once a year. The only other son Nan Hui has by his side in Nanjiang City is Nan Tian.

Nantian's girlfriend is not a good person. She is bossy at home and loses her temper at every turn. She is definitely not willing to live with this bad old man from Nanjiang City for a long time.

Nan Tian moved home with his girlfriend because he actually wanted to occupy the house at home.

He believed that his eldest brother Nan Hui was doing well outside and he was by his father's side, so his father should give him the house.

Nan Tian and his girlfriend felt disgusted when they saw that their father was old and had no money, relying on only a small amount of pension.

Today's Nanjiang City is lonely.

He washes his own clothes every day. He doesn't know how to use a washing machine. In the past, Zheng Juan took care of him, but he was just the shopkeeper. Every corner of the house was kept clean by Zheng Juan.

Now... alas!

As for whether Nanjiang Cheng regrets it or not, perhaps only he knows for sure.

He saw Zheng Juan once from a distance on the road, that was the day when Zheng Juan and her daughter went to buy a shop.

That day, he saw his ex-wife dressed very fashionable and young. The bright smile on her face was something Nanjiang City had never seen in the past ten years.

At that time, he glanced at her silently and walked away, feeling mixed in his heart that his good home had been ruined by himself.

When Zheng Jingyi returned to the community, it was almost time to get off work at noon. She pushed the cart through the community gate and

smelled the aroma of braised pork from a distance. Only the exclusive secret recipe of Zheng Hua's family had this braised aroma.

There are several residents walking their dogs in the community.

Zheng Jingyi is most afraid of the large, off-leash dogs in the community. Every time she sees them, she quickly walks away.

Once, an Alaskan dog without a leash rushed in front of Zheng Juan and Zheng Hua and almost knocked over a pot of braised pork.

Maybe the dog smelled the aroma of braised meat, which frightened the sisters and made their hearts beat fast. They would be particularly nervous when seeing big dogs without leashes in the future.

I reported this to the neighborhood committee several times and finally got some results.

Zheng Jingyi walked downstairs quickly and saw Aunt Huang now downstairs, shouting upstairs.

Her loud voice could be heard from far away, "Huazi, did you leave the braised chicken legs and chicken feet for me? My grandson will come back today. He loves to eat the braised chicken drumsticks you make. I braised it myself, but I can’t make it taste like yours. "

Zheng Hua is most passionate about his side business every day. Whenever he has time, he will set up a stall to sell braised vegetables," said Sister Huang. , I've left it for you, don't worry!"

"Okay, I'll come back to pick it up in the afternoon." Aunt Huang turned around and saw Zheng Jingyi, "Xiao Zheng, are you off work?"

Zheng Jingyi agreed vaguely, she was most afraid of Aunt Huang asking. Wen Xi said, "Hello, Aunt Huang." Then he left quickly.

As soon as I walked to the door of my house, the phone in my bag rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi! Jingyi, are you at home?" It was Zuo Kai's hearty voice,

"Yes, I just

arrived at the door of the house." Zheng Jingyi took out the key, opened the door and entered the house, "As soon as I entered the door, your call came "

Zuo Kai smiled, "Come to my house for dinner tonight! My parents said you haven't been here for a while. I'll pick you up at five o'clock."

"Okay, see you at the gate of the community at five o'clock!" Zheng Jingyi put down the phone and came. When I got to the kitchen, I saw my mother cooking,

"Mom, what's delicious for lunch?"

Zheng Juan asked, "No, there are your favorite steamed vegetables for lunch, steamed fish, steamed eggs, and two more stir-fried vegetables. You go and ask your aunt to come over for dinner."

Zheng Juan ran to knock on the door opposite, "Aunt, it's me, open the door!"

Zheng Hua took off her apron and opened the door. She saw her niece standing outside the door and said with a smile. "Did you not go to work today? Did you get off work so early?"

"Aunt, I have a day off today, and I made an appointment with Zuo Kai to go to his house for dinner in the evening." Zheng Jingyi walked into the kitchen and watched Zheng Hua making braised vegetables, "It smells so good! Zuo Kai He also said that it was a pity that he couldn't eat the stewed vegetables you made last time he came to our house. "

Zheng Hua said, "It's not difficult. I will pack a bag for you in the afternoon and you can bring the stewed vegetables to Zuo Kai. They just came out. The pot is delicious!"

"That's great! Zuo Kai, let's go over to eat!"

" I'm about to finish the meal." Turn off the fire and go." Zheng Hua quickly took out a large bowl, scooped two spoons of braised vegetables and marinade from the pot, and cleared the kitchen counter.

Zheng Jingyi stood in the study room looking for her favorite books.

On the bookshelf, there were many martial arts classics that she loved to read, including Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and many other novels. There are also Mr. Gu Long's "Two Prides" and "Martial Arts"...

My uncle is a typical martial arts fan. Zheng Jingyi and her uncle can get along well with each other.

This year's two popular Hong Kong martial arts TV series, "Young Zhang Sanfeng" and "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox", are the most popular nowadays.

Zheng Hua took the key and was about to go out. After searching around the study room, he found his fascinated niece, who was holding a copy of "The Deer and the Cauldron"

and reading it with gusto. Zheng Hua smiled and said, "If you like it, take it back and read it! Remember to return it." Just for your uncle, these are all his precious books."

"Okay, let's eat!"

Zheng Hua took the freshly cooked stew and went to his sister's house opposite.

In the afternoon, Zheng Jingyi drank Lingquan water and felt very good. She took a taxi to the department store. It was rare to have such free time. She went shopping alone and planned to buy a silk scarf for her mother.

The weather in November is slightly cooler. In this season, wearing a silk scarf looks good.

It's not a weekend, so there aren't many people on the street.

I'm walking in an alley near the department store. This is an old alley, and the shops here still have the traditional charm of the 1990s. Wooden door panels, stone tile floors, and every corner are filled with a strong historical atmosphere.

The scent of roasted chestnuts drifted from the street, and accompanied by the cries of small vendors,

Zheng Jingyi couldn't help but walk over, "Boss, how do you sell roasted chestnuts?"

"It costs five yuan a pack, girl, do you want a pack? It's delicious!"

the boss said, stirring constantly and

looking at the tempting chestnuts in the pot. "Here are two bags!" Zheng Jingyi took out ten yuan and handed it over.
