The little girl has lived in Jinyuan since she can remember. The grandpa's house she often visits is a two-story villa, and the house of her newly recognized godfather is even comparable to Jinyuan. When has she ever lived in such a simple house?
Lan Guoer almost laughed out loud at the little girl's bitter expression.
"Although the room here is a little small, there is a big mountain behind our house. There are pheasants, rabbits, and lots of mushrooms and herbs on the mountain. When the mountain flowers bloom in the spring, it is very beautiful."
Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up. "Really? Then can Mommy take Nuan Nuan to the mountains to see the little rabbits?"
"Of course! But not now. We just got home and we still have a lot of things to do. I'll take you to see it after Mommy is done, okay?"
"good!"
Xiao Nuan's emotions come and go quickly.
Lan Guoer turned to look at her two sons and saw that they were already playing with the other children in the village.
Xiao Lie was playing the role of an eagle, chasing and playing with the children, while Xiao Ling was writing and drawing on the ground with a wooden stick like a little adult, and telling something to the other little boys.
Lan Guoer had to admit it! Boys and girls really have different focuses.
There are three rooms in total, and there is nothing interesting to see. Master San took a quick look and saw almost all of them.
It was really hard for him to imagine how Lan Guoer grew up in such an environment.
Hearing that it had become quiet outside, thinking that the two elders of the Tang family should have sent all the villagers away, the third master wrapped his scarf tightly and walked outside.
Although the village was a bit poor, the snow-covered scenery was unique, and he was still interested in taking a stroll around...
When Tang's mother and old man Tang returned home, their three sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, except little Tang Xiu, were all gathered in the old couple's house.
There were melon seeds, peanuts and candies on the kang table, and everyone sat around it, talking and laughing.
"Dad, Mom! It's getting dark soon. We should have a family reunion dinner tonight, right?" Zhao Lai Di cracked melon seeds skillfully and looked very energetic.
"Whatever you say, I'll get ready right away!"
Tang's mother thought about it and felt that since it was a rare opportunity for the Third Master to come to their poor mountain village, it was only right for everyone to gather together to welcome him.
"Then kill a chicken, stew a fish, braise some spareribs, and stir-fry a few other dishes based on what else is readily available at home, making a total of 10 dishes to complete the meal."
"Okay!"
When Zhao Lai Di heard that there would be a big dinner in the evening, she felt full of energy, but when she thought about where the meat would come from, she instantly became listless.
"Mom! We don't have that meat at home right now. Look at this..."
Zhao Lai Di twisted her facial features and spread her hands.
When Tang's mother first got home, she was still patient and wanted to maintain a good image in front of her son and daughter-in-law, but when she saw Zhao Lai Di's character, she couldn't hold it in anymore!
She took out a big unity card from her pocket and slapped it on the table.
"Are you afraid I'll eat your meat for free? Who doesn't have a few pounds of meat prepared at this time of year? Can't you use it as an emergency measure?"
Seeing that Tang's mother was angry, Zhao Lai Di lowered her head and dared not breathe.
Li Jinhua looked at the big unity on the table and rolled her eyes. Tang's mother's luggage bag was still bulging, so there must be good things inside! Now was not the time to make her angry.
You still have to please when it’s time to please!
"Mom, don't be angry with the second brother's family. They really haven't had time to buy meat yet. We were just talking about this yesterday!
We bought five pounds of meat and fried some meatballs. I'll bring them all over to you right now, and on the way I'll go to Aunt Wang's house and buy a chicken. Is that okay with you?"
Seeing Tang's mother getting angry, Tang Zhe also hurriedly explained on behalf of his wife,
"Mom, it's not that Lai Di doesn't want to give you food, it's just that the family really hasn't prepared anything! Lai Di is also worried that if we buy the New Year's goods too early, the children will not be able to control their appetites and will finish them before New Year's Eve..."
Tang's mother rolled her eyes at her second son, her mind clear as a mirror. Why worry about the children not being able to control their mouths? Of the second son's family, Zhao Lai Di was the most greedy.
Now I am the head of my own household! I know that food and daily necessities are expensive, so I am willing to live frugally.
Thinking that her daughter-in-law had learned how to live, it was not a bad thing. Tang's mother suppressed her temper and pointed at the big unity on the kang table with her chin, signaling Li Jinhua,
"Here! Get everything ready. The second and third sons shouldn't be idle either. Wash the pots and wash the vegetables. We have guests at home, so hurry up! We can't be too late for dinner."
"I'll go right away!"
Li Jinhua smiled and picked up the big unity on the table, then walked out happily.
This big unity is enough to buy those things, and there will definitely be some left over. This time, she not only got a good deal from Tang's mother, but also made a profit!
She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that thanks to her knowledge of the current situation, she was able to kill two birds with one stone.
There is strength in numbers. When Tang Zhan arrived home, the smell of food was already wafting from the old couple's yard, and the whole family gathered in the main room.
The Third Master walked around the village and just happened to walk in with Tang Zhan.
The food has been served, filling the two square tables.
The Tang family is now quite prosperous, with a total of twenty people across three generations.
The third master was the guest. Old Man Tang and the men in his family sat at one table with him, while the women and children sat at another table.
It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together, so naturally, wine is indispensable to liven up the atmosphere.
Old Man Tang generously opened a bottle of Moutai liquor that Lan Guoer gave him as a gift.
"Mom! This is Maotai liquor! When did our dad hide this good stuff?"
Although Zhao Lai Di is a woman, she has heard the men in the village talk about Moutai liquor. It is not only expensive but also requires a permit. It is not something that can be bought casually!
"What's Moutai liquor? Didn't you see that our parents have become younger since returning from Kyoto? I dare say that if my mother and I stood together, someone who didn't know us wouldn't be able to tell who was older!"
Li Jinhua's words were not meant to flatter Tang's mother. With Lan Guoer's health wine and skin care products, the old couple of the Tang family did look a lot younger than before.
When Zhao Lai Di heard that there was something delicious, her mind went blank and she started eating.
"Mom, you and Dad must have eaten a lot of good food with Fourth Brother, right? Did you bring some for Xiaolong and Xiaohai when you came back this time? They are all grandchildren of the Tang family, and you and Dad can't eat all of it alone!"
When Tang's mother heard this, she was furious!
What does it mean that she and the old man eat alone? They have worked so hard to raise their children and grandchildren, and now that they are old, they can't eat something good?
Besides, now that the family has separated, it would be fine if the younger generations were not filial to them, but how could they have the nerve to snatch food from the old couple's mouths?
If she hadn't been concerned about Third Master's presence, Tang's mother would have been about to hit her with a broom again! She gritted her teeth and held back her outburst.
"Even if we ate it, it would be your fourth brother's filial piety. There is no reason for us to use the fourth brother's family's subsidies to subsidize you!"
