"Wow, you two are so cute, have some candy," Shen Nian said as she took out two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and gave them to the two little ones.
Seeing that they were unwilling to take it, Shen Nian stuffed it directly into her pocket and gave up.
Nanqiao couldn't help but find it funny when he saw the interaction between the two people.
But I have to say that although Taohua and Yaya grew up in the village and got a bit tanned, their facial features are very handsome, with big eyes and black pearl-like pupils.
Especially the fact that he is sensible and sensible, which pleases Nanqiao very much.
The four of them came to Aunt Xiumei's house hand in hand. On the way, there were many old ladies who didn't go to the open space today. They all sat at the door of their own house with bowls in their hands, eating and chatting. At this moment, they saw Shen Nian and Nanqiao
They stared at the two of them without hiding their feelings. Some of them even looked them up and down and discussed whether they were good at having children.
Nanqiao is speechless
Each of them can be the director of the village information department. They are perfectly qualified.
The courtyard where Nanqiao and his wife lived was not far from Aunt Xiumei's house. Under the watchful eyes of the village aunts, they arrived at Aunt Xiumei's house in a short while.
Because it was summer, Aunt Xiumei prepared the meal and asked her daughter-in-law to set up the table in the yard.
Every household in the village is cooking, the smoke is curling, the sun is setting, and the summer breeze is so pleasant.
Taohua led the two into the yard and called out before they even entered the door.
"Mom, I brought my educated youth sister back home."
"Hey, take your sister to wash her hands, we can eat soon," Aunt Xiumei shouted as she came out of the kitchen.
Aunt Xiumei's husband, Uncle Sheng, and his eldest son and daughter-in-law all followed him out.
When they saw Nanqiao and Shen Nian, they were all stunned.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "Oh my god, what do these city girls eat to grow up? Not to mention they are so tall, they are all so fair and pretty. How could their families bear to send these girls to the countryside? It must be a lot of worry for them."
The thought in his mind was fleeting, and the next moment he came up to him, "Nan Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, come in quickly."
"Sister, this is my eldest brother and his wife, and this is my father." Taohua introduced them politely to Nanqiao and Chen Nian.
"Hello Uncle Sheng, Hello Brother Sheng and Sister-in-law Sheng," they said in unison.
"These are some gifts we brought. They are specialties from our hometown. You can try them," Nanqiao said as he handed over the package.
Nanqiao brought a pack of cakes, while Shen Nian simply brought two sausages, both of which were good stuff.
"You two girls, why did you bring your own food when I asked you to come for dinner? If you were like this, I wouldn't dare to ask you to come." Aunt Xiumei came out and saw the things in the two girls' hands, and said with some disapproval.
"Oh, auntie, this is not your first visit. It would be impolite not to bring anything."
"Yes, auntie, next time you have something delicious, just think of us."
"Okay, okay, you two girls, don't do this next time. Come on, sit down, dinner is ready."
Nanqiao and Shen Nian sat down at the table obediently after hearing the voice.
Sister-in-law Sheng sat down next to Shen Nian, followed by Brother Sheng and Uncle Sheng. Everyone at the table sat tightly waiting for Aunt Xiumei.
In such an era of extremely serious male chauvinism, the behavior of Uncle Sheng's family undoubtedly proves their respect for Aunt Xiumei.
A few minutes later, Aunt Xiumei came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms. She looked at the people at the table and asked in confusion, "Isn't that boy Chuanzi back yet?"
"No, I heard from the captain that he went to return the tractor. Logically, he should have returned a long time ago," said Uncle Sheng, looking outside the courtyard gate.
Chuanzi? When Nanqiao heard this, he inexplicably thought of the man in the afternoon.
"You little bastard, you run around all day and never have a day off. Just ignore him and eat." Aunt Xiumei scolded him and ignored him. She picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Nanqiao and Shen Nian's bowls.
"Try it. My son hunted pheasants in the mountains. You probably haven't eaten them before. Try it and see if it tastes good." Aunt Xiumei winked and whispered, a little worried that someone might hear her.
"Aunt, you eat too." Shen Nian looked at Nan Qiao, and seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, she waited obediently.
It was not until Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xiumei started eating that everyone at the table started eating.
"Do you want to serve some to Chuanzi?" Uncle Sheng said. After all, this was what Chuanzi had fought for, and it was rare for him to eat meat like this at home.
"Eat yours. There's still some left in the pot, enough for him," said Aunt Xiumei.
Uncle Sheng didn't say anything after being scolded. He just ate his two-grain pancake obediently, and occasionally took a piece of potato. After the meal, he didn't eat much meat, and basically left it all for the little one.
Aunt Xiumei's cooking skills are very good, and the meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sheng family cleaned up the dishes. Nanqiao and Shen Nian wanted to help, but Aunt Xiumei stopped them and said, "How can you let the guests wash the dishes? Just sit there quietly."
After that, he poured two cups of mung bean water that was iced in the well for the two of them, adding sugar, which tasted sweet.
For a modern person in Nanqiao, this cup of mung bean water with sugar was not very strange, but Taohua and Yaya held the bowl and drank it in small sips, which was very rare.
"Nan Zhiqing, where are you from?" After cleaning up, Sister Sheng also took half a bowl of mung bean water and sat down in the yard, chatting with everyone.
"Sister-in-law, just call me Wan Qiao. We are both from Shanghai."
"Shanghai is a big city, it's much hotter there than here."
"Yes, the temperature has been over 30 degrees these days, it's not as cool as here."
Several people sat in the yard and chatted for a long time.
Nanqiao finished the mung bean water in his cup and saw that it was getting late, so he stood up, said goodbye to everyone and prepared to go home.
"Aunt, we want to go to town tomorrow to pick up something from home. Do you know how we can get to town? Is there any car?"
