Chapter 139, The Jealous Man Returns
Their family conditions are not that good, and they have delicious food like this every year, but not in large quantities, and they don't taste as good as the ones my sister-in-law bought.
For example, the peanuts are grown and fried at home. As you can imagine, they definitely don’t taste as good as the ones you buy.
An Liang glanced at An Shan, but he didn't say much.
Grandma He saw all the little things that happened to everyone. She also heard what Xi Lian and the others said about Anshan's affairs, and she understood what He Zhengting meant.
It's understandable, but it's rare to see someone who doesn't care about his youngest son.
"Okay, then you all go buy them and let your sister-in-law tell you which store to buy them from."
Mei Xue did not hide it and told them.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Mei Xue went into the house and took out the two electronic watches.
"An Wen Shuangshuang, this is a wedding gift for you." Mei Xue handed it forward and said with a smile.
When An Wen saw the box packaged so well, he didn't dare to step forward to take it. He glanced at his wife and saw her taking it generously. When he was about to say something, he was glared back by Grandma He.
"Don't worry, you will have them when you get married. Don't be jealous." After seeing the children's eyes on the watches, Grandma He immediately added.
Giving one is never good.
You still have to say some polite words.
Who knows how many years it will take for them to get married, it’s still a long way to go.
Li Shuangshuang was so generous that Mei Xue looked at her with admiration, "This red one is for you, try it on." After spending a long time with everyone, Mei Xue became more worldly-wise.
It was rare for Xiaobai to see his master's expression change, but he just took a look and continued to eat his candy. It was so delicious and sweet.
"Well, thank you sister-in-law, thank you grandma." She knew that her sister-in-law must have given such an expensive gift in return because of the radio incident last time.
Some feelings are better kept in your heart, not expressed with words.
An Wen couldn't wait to open his own watch. It was blue and looked really nice.
An Liang was jealous. He grabbed it without waiting for An Wen to try it on. "Brother An Wen, let me try it on."
Fortunately, he is like this only in front of his family, otherwise he would be really unpopular.
Mei Xue slapped An Liang in annoyance and said, "I'll give you one piece when you get into university. This belongs to you, An Wen. Give it back to him." She didn't spoil him.
An Liang felt very aggrieved after being beaten, "Sister-in-law, you are so cruel." But he still obediently returned the watch.
Everyone laughed immediately when they saw how aggrieved he was.
"Haha, you deserve it."
"Exactly. You have the nerve to snatch someone else's wedding gift."
Anshan and Ancheng also owe it.
So An Liang and the others started making a fuss.
You know what, it looks really good when you put it on.
An electronic watch is not a clock. It displays numbers directly on it and you can understand it at a glance.
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful." Li Shuangshuang liked it very much, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need to thank me. Just live a good life with An Wen. He may be a little taciturn, but he has a good heart." It was rare for Mei Xue to say something good about An Wen, as she usually called him stupid.
Li Shuangshuang has been married for a long time and has long understood what kind of person her husband is. The fact that his sister-in-law praises him shows what a real person he is.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. It was Brother Anwen who saved my life. I am not only grateful to him, but I am also..." Li Shuangshuang, who was at the back, became shy.
Grandma He glared at An Wen and said, "Such a good girl was ruined by you." Well, after saying this, An Wen went crazy.
"Third grandma."
Mei Xue was also happy about what her grandma said, "Grandma is right." Even if her grandma farted, Mei Xue would think it smelled good.
As a result, An Wen was accused of ruining his wife.
"Okay, stop talking. We're both embarrassed." In the end, it was An Wen who relieved his wife's embarrassment.
"I know you feel sorry for your sister-in-law, Brother Anwen, but don't hold her hand. We are still here." An Liangpi felt itchy again.
After they had fun for a while, Mei Xue asked them about the plum wine. The ones they brewed later had not been sold yet, and Mei Xue was afraid that they would lose money on it.
"Sell your wine to Mr. Qian when he comes this time. I think he has run out of wine in his store."
An Liang and An Wen nodded immediately after hearing this, "We'll listen to my sister-in-law."
There is actually nothing to do in the countryside in winter, so everyone stays at home and relaxes.
However, after Li Shuangshuang's second visit, she would come from time to time to chat with Grandma He and Mei Xue.
Life is quite leisurely.
When Laba Festival arrives, every household starts to get busy. Mei Xue and Grandma He do the same. They clean up the house and start preparing New Year's supplies.
For example, cleaning bacon, making candy wrappers, spreading rice, etc. Mei Xue has been learning these from her grandmother.
Not to mention, it’s not any worse than the New Year’s food bought outside.
There were great restrictions on food in such an era, which was not as prosperous as in later generations. Of course, it was not much different from Mei Xue's world. There was no such thing as the New Year at that time.
Winter is a more dangerous season than summer.
Food was in short supply, monsters were increasing in number, the number of people in various places was decreasing drastically, and everyone was in danger.
Fortunately, there are no monsters in this era. Even if the food is a little worse, it is safe.
He Anze also rushed back from the county town.
He happened to meet Boss Qian who came to collect vegetables, so he rode in Boss Qian's car and went into the village together.
Boss Qian did not come in person this time, as the store was busy during the New Year, so he asked a shop assistant to come, and this assistant is also his family member.
I feel very relieved.
"Grandma He, Sister He An, this is the New Year gift that the boss, Boss Zhao, and Uncle Shi asked me to bring. They are busy at home, and they said they will come to visit the old lady after the spring."
The guy was a sweet-talker and he made Grandma He laugh with just a few words.
Cai Meixue and He Anze went to the back mountain to pick the vegetables. When An Liang and the others knew that Boss Qian was coming to collect the vegetables, they also ran over to help. It didn't take long before all the vegetables in the field were harvested.
A full cart was taken away by the guys.
Of course, the wine brewed by An Liang and his team was also taken away. The price was not low. Maybe it was New Year and plum wine was a rare thing, so the price was a little higher than usual.
After sending away the people who brought the food, Mei Xue also kept An Liang and the others at home for dinner. These people had no idea what being polite meant.
I only know that the food at my third grandmother's house is much better than that at home.
He Anze looked jealous and said, "Wife, why did you invite them to dinner at home?" He hadn't eaten Xiaoxue's cooking for a long time.
Looking at this man who was becoming more and more clingy, Mei Xue pushed away his restless hand and said, "Can't I leave a meal for them when they help me?" She rolled her eyes at him.
"Can't we do it tomorrow?" He just came back today.
"Trouble." Mei Xue glared at He Anze unhappily.
