"This child is really a good child, sensible and filial."
"Hey, Grandma Cen, please stop praising me. Please go inside first. My sister and I are here."
Shuanzhu likes his sister's grandparents very much. They are nice to his sister and him as well. Every time they come, they buy him food and clothes and treat him like their own child.
Shuanzhu had grown up. Although he was still a little naive, he was not stupid. He knew who was truly kind to him. How could a child without parents live as well as he did? He was a person who was easily content.
The old lady took a look and saw that there was really no place for her to interfere. She said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll go inside first, and you children can get busy."
Gao Fei also came back and tied up the three of them, who were busy with the kitchen work, serving dishes and rice. The meal was served soon.
After working all night last night, these people slept until noon today and didn't eat much. They were really hungry now. No one could be heard talking, and they all buried their heads and tried hard to fill their stomachs with food.
After everyone was half full, the table began to get lively: "Ye Zi, do you have any wine? Bring out a bottle for us to satisfy our cravings." Old Man Feng felt it would be a shame not to drink wine with so many delicious dishes.
The little grandfather also wanted to drink a glass: "Yes, is there any wine left? Let's have a drink to warm ourselves up."
Chen Ye looked at the old man's table, and everyone was looking at her eagerly. Chen Ye glanced at her grandmother, and her grandmother nodded. Her grandmother had only drunk twice in the past six months, so it was not a bad idea for him to drink less.
There were five old men and two young men, and each of them only took a big sip from the bottle of wine, so they definitely couldn't drink much.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you now."
Every time Chen Ye received his salary, he would exchange it with others for wine tickets. In the past six months, he had saved up several bottles of wine and brought them back, not to mention the benefits for his grandfather.
She left half for her grandfather and brought the rest back, which was enough for the old men to satisfy their drinking cravings during the New Year.
It’s said to be an all-meat feast, but people at that time don’t eat and drink too much. They are already very satisfied with just a few all-meat dishes.
To put it bluntly, the oil and water in this meal is equivalent to the amount of meat an ordinary family would eat in one or two years.
After dinner, these people were not idle either. With so much meat, they couldn't just let a few young people do it. They would have to work until late at night. Everyone worked together, some applying salt, some smoking, and some making bacon.
There is an earthen oven in the yard, which can be used to make dried meat of different flavors. Rabbits and other meats are simply made into cold-eaten rabbits. The recipe was provided by Cen Zixiang.
The name is a bit strange, but everyone likes to eat it. Each family took a can to try it, because there were so many of them.
None of the old men wanted the remaining meat. They had not contributed anything and they were too embarrassed to take advantage of the children. Chen Ye took most of the meat and left the remaining small part for the old men to improve their lives.
In Cen Zixiang's words, if they wanted to eat, they could just go into the mountains and try their luck, but Chen Ye and the others had nowhere to go if they wanted to eat, so they could only rely on their few meat tickets to queue up and buy it.
Chen Ye was not the kind of person who would be so pretentious, so he just took it. At most, he could bring back some more cigarettes, alcohol, etc. next time he came back.
Early in the morning, Gao Fei, Cen Zixiang and Xiao Wang started to move things into the car. Some dry goods that were not afraid of being seen were tied directly to the roof of the car, while things like meat that were not suitable for outsiders to see were put in the car.
This time she brought more things than when she came here, including a lot of pickled vegetables. Chen Ye took a bite and found it was even better than what she made. She felt that she could have two bowls of rice with just these pickles.
If there weren't people in the back seat, it would probably be full. Chen Ye felt like he was coming back to extort money.
Looking at the one, two, three, four large sacks on the ground, and then at the jeep that really couldn't fit in, even the roof of the carport was bulging high, it really couldn't fit in anymore.
The old man shook his head. You know, if you borrow a bigger car, those bags are full of hazelnuts, pine nuts and other things that his eldest son likes to eat, so he must take them back.
Zheng Bing walked over with his hands behind his back, looked at the jeep that had been raised a lot, then looked at the already packed compartment, and finally looked at the four large sacks on the ground.
Thinking about the villagers waiting at the village entrance, this is a bit difficult!
"Uncle Zheng, you're here too. It makes me seem like someone very important." It was a bit too grand.
Zheng Bing rolled his eyes at Chen Ye: "Why are you not important? You're going to go out to work after staying at home for a few days. Shouldn't your family see you off?"
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll have Erniu drive a tractor to take it there later. When you get to the city, go to the bus station to pick it up and we'll have a bus take it there."
"Ah! That's not good. Let my fourth brother drive the ox cart and deliver it."
"What's wrong with that? There are still a lot of things at the entrance of the village. Don't be polite. The villagers don't have any other intentions. They just want to thank you. If you don't accept them, they will feel uncomfortable."
"Alright, that's settled. You guys should hurry up and get in the car. We'll safely deliver the rest of your stuff to the city station, but you'll have to pick it up there yourself."
Chen Ye glanced at Cen Zixiang, who nodded to indicate that he would follow. It was impossible for the villagers to send him things and then ask them to pay for the transportation.
"Then I won't be polite to the uncles and aunts in the village, but will shamelessly accept them all."
"You're being too polite. We're all family and we don't want you to calculate everything so clearly. Okay, hurry up and go back."
Chen Ye helped his grandparents into the car, waved to the elderly people and the captain, and left. When he arrived at the village entrance, he stopped the car and talked to the villagers before leaving the village.
Chen Ye heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the village. The old lady looked at him with amusement: "It's true that the people in the countryside are honest, but the people in this village are kind and honest."
"It's just that they're a little too enthusiastic. I never thought the villagers were so good at praising others before!"
The old man turned around and said, "That's because my granddaughter is capable. Try someone else and see if they will praise her as much."
There must be a reason why the villagers are so welcoming. Don't think that you can buy off everyone with just a tractor and make them always treat you well.
This story started with the purchase of washing machine technology in the summer. Cen Zixiang may seem a bit unreliable, but he is definitely a master at the negotiation table.
After selling the technology and getting the money, they also asked the machinery factory for three recruitment quotas, without limiting the number of urban or rural residents. It was also agreed that they would not be considered to be using a backdoor and would have to take the exam together with the factory's recruits.
