Chapter 119: Housekeeping
"Tong Yan, how did you get in from the backyard?" Jing Feng was stunned when he saw the boy.
He almost instinctively reached for the thing on his waist, but when he looked over, he saw that the person who came in was none other than Tong Manjiang's son Tong Yan.
Tong Yan stood up and brushed the dirt off his hands. He looked at Jing Xian curiously and said, "Master, it's not that I don't want to come in through the front door. I saw the family outside your house, so I walked halfway around the street and jumped in from the back."
He took great pains to get in.
Jing Xian couldn't help laughing and asked, "Dad, is this the younger brother of my cousin Dajiang?"
"Yes, his name is Tong Yan, he is one year younger than you. He also has a sister, Tong Xin, who is two years younger than you. In a few days, when you are done with your work, ask Tong Xin to come over. You two sisters have never met each other in your life."
Jing Xian smiled and said, "Okay!"
Tong Yan smiled and greeted Jing Xian: "Sister, I've heard about you from my cousin a long time ago. I thought my cousin was bragging, but I didn't expect you to be the most beautiful in our city."
Jing Xian didn't expect Tong Yan to say that. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You're pretty handsome too!"
Tong Yan reached out and scratched his head, smiling sheepishly, "I can't do that. I'm the ugliest one in my family."
"Did you come here by yourself?" Jingfeng asked Tong Yan.
"Yes, I came here by myself. My grandma was worried about you being here alone, so she asked me to come and see you. I didn't expect that my sister had already arrived. If I had known, I would have brought Tong Xin with me. Let her see what it means that there are always people better than you. Don't think that you are the best in the village all day long and be so proud of yourself."
Tong Yan was very rude when he complained about his sister.
"Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something?" Jingfeng asked him.
"It takes more than two hours to get here from your house. And you have to go from the front door to the back door. It must be like you haven't eaten." Jing Xian didn't wait for Tong Yan to say anything, and said, "I'll make you some fried rice and some lettuce. I'll give it to you while it's still hot."
Tong Yan was so embarrassed.
"Sister, no need. I can just eat a bite. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
"The food is cold."
Jing Xian looked at the land in the backyard. It was really not small, much larger than the land in their backyard in the military area.
Tong Yan said quickly: "It's summer now, it's just right to eat something cool. We used to eat sorghum rice porridge at home!"
"Eat less. It's hard to digest."
Jing Xian doesn't talk much, but her aura is extraordinary.
Tong Yan deliberately slowed down his pace and followed Jingfeng until they reached the front yard. He watched Jingxian cooking, and then he whispered to Jingfeng, "Master, Sister Jingxian's aura is really extraordinary. Sometimes I feel scared when she talks."
Jingfeng asked with amusement: "What are you afraid of?"
"I can't explain it. I just glanced at her casually and I immediately didn't dare to say anything." Tong Yan is a lively person and he has never suffered any hardship since he was a child.
When others had no food to eat, his grandfather worked in the school cafeteria and would always secretly bring him something to eat.
Later, his father learned to be a carpenter and went to work in a furniture factory, earning 90 yuan a month.
Not to mention that they have few children, even if they have many children, it would still cost a lot of money.
His grandmother worked in a textile factory, his mother was a primary school teacher, and the whole family had a salary. Tong Yan had never been short of food or drink since he was a child.
Tong Yan has a good personality and a pleasing appearance.
This is the first time in my life that I feel so scared of being alone.
Jingfeng said, "Your sister is the person in charge in the military region, and many people under her listen to her. Didn't your hometown plant a new variety of corn last year?"
"Yes! Not only corn seeds, but also wheat seeds." Tong Nian said excitedly, "You don't know that this year's wheat harvest is very good. The yield of one acre of land has more than doubled. No one can believe it. Now the corns are almost grown. In two months, we can harvest the corns. But now we can see how big the corns are without digging them up."
Jingfeng couldn't help but smile, and said proudly: "Those are all new varieties researched by your sister."
"What?
”
Tong Yan suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
Jingfeng walked into the house, and Tong Yan chased after him and asked, "Master, you said that the new seeds were developed by my sister?"
"When I left last year, it was for the new seeds. I didn't expect that the person I was looking for was your sister. Otherwise, we father and son might have missed each other." Jingfeng was very emotional when talking about this.
If he hadn't recognized Jing Xian, he would have missed her.
He will definitely go to Sheng City after he finishes his work.
When you get to Sheng City, you will be fooled by Jing Daming's family.
In the end, even though he could find out the truth, he might not be able to find Jing Xian.
Tong Yan knew what Jing Daming had done.
He sneered and said, "Master, do you know what this is called? This is called good people get good rewards! You have been hiding your identity for our country and have paid so much. You can't even go home. My sister is your daughter. Although she had a rough fate when she was young, she is a person who has done great things like you. This is a person who dedicates himself to the country. God is on your side. Otherwise, how could you meet my sister as soon as you went there?"
Jingfeng felt that what this kid said actually made some sense.
"Your sister has a cold personality, but she has a good heart. Don't distance yourself from her just because you are afraid of her. She is a very loyal and righteous person." Jingfeng's worries were unnecessary.
"Master, you are not treating me as your own nephew. How can I have a bad relationship with my sister? My sister is cooking for me now. How can I be bad to my sister?"
Jingfeng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say you were afraid of her?"
Tong Yan immediately explained: "I'm not afraid, I just think my sister is not an ordinary person. After you said that, I understood. They are all people who do great things, unlike me. I am not smart and I don't have much ability, but I like to follow people who do great things."
The food is cold.
The stove is sealed.
Jing Xian lit the stove, took out two eggs, cut some cabbage and put it in the pot to start frying. Then she put the rice in and finally put some shrimps.
Then she put out a small bowl of the sour radish and pork shreds she had fried herself, and took out a salted egg and brought them out for Tong Yan to eat.
"Thank you, sister. I can do it myself." Tong Yan was very tactful and stood up to serve the food.
Everyone dislikes such people.
Jingxian hated the kind of people who were guests but were already familiar with her. They had come to her house for dinner more than once or twice, but they insisted on treating themselves as guests.
Just sit there and hold it ready.
He's like a big boss, waiting to be served.
"Master, would you like to eat something else?" Tong Yan didn't eat himself and asked Jingfeng first.
When Jingfeng saw the fried rice made by his daughter, he wanted to try it, after all, it was made by his daughter.
But he didn't compete with the children for food.
Besides, if he wants to eat it, he can just ask Jing Xian to cook for him in the future.
"Eat it now!"
"Then I'll eat it." Tong Yan took the first bite and found that this fried rice was different from what he had eaten before. "Grandpa, I finally know why you looked at my fried rice with such longing eyes just now! It's really amazing! I have never eaten such delicious fried rice in my life! Grandpa, don't you want to have a bite?"
Hey, this poor kid!
Jingfeng said unhappily, "Come on, do you think I've never eaten this before? I've eaten the food my daughter cooked countless times. I can eat it whenever I want in the future."
"Master, you are so lucky to have such a good lady like my sister as your daughter."
Tong Yan is really good at talking.
Jing Xian sighed again.
Look how well he coaxes Comrade Jingfeng.
Tong Yan eats very fast. He doesn't want to eat too fast, but he can't slow down because the fried rice is so delicious.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up reluctantly, and took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Jing Xian said: "I didn't expect that he has such a nice personality."
"It's good." Otherwise he wouldn't have associated with their family.
Jingfeng has a very unique personality.
The thing he hated most in his life was socializing.
Before, I was forced to
Socializing is different now. He doesn't need to pretend, he just needs to be himself.
There were voices coming from outside, Fusheng's voice was still as sweet as ever.
Jing Xian heard Fusheng say from inside the room: "Then I'm going to call you uncle. Uncle, are you married? Do you have children? How many children do you have?"
Tong Yan rubbed his head and said in a good-tempered manner: "I'm not married."
"Ah, you're not married! Then you can't do that either! My mom is only one year older than you, and your brother and sister are one year older." Fusheng sighed like a little adult, "Uncle, you'd better hurry up. Don't be afraid if no one introduces you to a date. My mom will introduce you to someone later."
Jing Xian clicked her tongue.
"Where are the girls around me?" Speaking of girls, Jing Xian remembered something, "Dad, I brought a package and planned to express it to the border. Where is the post office? I will just ride over there to ask."
"It's not far. I'll accompany you there later." Jingfeng was worried about Jingxian going out alone.
Jing Xian wanted to say no. She saw the worry in Jing Feng's eyes and said with a smile, "That's fine."
In the yard, Tong Yan was chatting with a few children.
"I have a younger sister. She's amazing. She's been admitted to a university! She's studying at a teachers' college. She'll be a teacher after graduation. Maybe she can even teach you!"
Tiedan said unconvincedly, "That's not necessarily true. We have graduated from junior high school now. We will go to high school when school starts. My mother said that college takes four years, so if she hasn't graduated yet, we will go to college."
Hearing the children talking about school, Jingfeng did not let Jingxian worry: "Da Mao's grandfather also lives near us. However, they live in the yard on the street behind. The yard is not as big as ours, it is an old yard. After Da Mao's grandfather was rehabilitated, he taught at the university. If he knew his grandchildren were coming, he would definitely be very happy."
"Then I'll take the children over now! I think Da Mao and Xiao Mao must want to see their family too." Jing Xian thought that the children needed to rest after dinner, so she didn't mention it.
Now having said that, she went to get the package she had prepared earlier.
There was a mink fur inside that she had bought. She had asked Song Zheng to get it for her. The children were young, so they didn't have any. The adults all had some.
"Dad, I gave this to you. Wear it at home and wear the military coat when you go to work. It will have a bad impact if someone sees you." Although it looks very simple from the outside, it may cause unnecessary trouble if someone accidentally discovers it.
The mink coats of Grandpa and Grandma Damao have a bigger outer layer.
You can't see anything from the inside.
Comrade Jingfeng is the one who is going to attend the meeting.
When the time comes, once you take off your mink coat, people might start to look at you in awe.
Jingfeng was very surprised: "Me too?"
"Let me try it on?" Jingfeng said and actually tried it on. It fit him very well.
Jing Xian said with a smile, "Take it off quickly. I made other clothes for you. They are all in this package. Take them back and try them on yourself. I'm calling the children to set off."
"Try again when we get back. I'll take you there."
"OK!"
Jing Xian called the children to go over together. Tong Yan thought of the family at the door and volunteered, "Grandpa, sister, I'll stay at home and look after the house!"
Jingfeng said: "Do you think they will jump in like you?"
Then he fell silent.
