"Hehe, I just went home to discuss the wedding date! I want to set it and then notify everyone." Chen Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, I've approved your leave. You can take the rabbit back." Guo Youxing said as he handed the stamped letter to Chen Chen.
"Thank you, Uncle Xing. I won't take this rabbit. We have more. We were lucky enough to catch a nest of rabbits today. I'll treat Uncle Xing to a drink when we get married." After saying this, Chen Chen stood up and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Okay, then you guys should eat before leaving. The food is almost ready." Guo Youxing didn't refuse when he heard that they also had rabbits.
"No need, Uncle Xing. Let's go back and pack our things first. We'll take the bus back after work tomorrow." After saying that, Chen Chen led them out.
Guo Youxing watched Chen Chen walking away and complained in his heart: Why is he running so fast? It's not like he's getting married tomorrow. This young man is just impatient.
At this time, Liang Xueying came in with dishes and was confused to see a rabbit appeared on the ground.
"Brother Xing, who brought this rabbit?"
"This was brought by Chen Chen and the others. The three Chen educated youths are going to take a few days off to go home and visit their families. You guys eat first, I'll go and pack the rabbit." After Guo Youxing finished speaking, he picked up the rabbit and walked towards the kitchen.
While the rabbit is still alive, I quickly kill it and skin it. The rabbit fur is just enough to make a pair of shoes for my eldest grandson.
Deng Qingling had just coaxed Haohao to sleep when she walked into the main room. She only saw her mother-in-law Liang Xueying setting the table, but she didn't see her father-in-law in the main room. It was time for dinner, so where were they?
"Mom, where's Dad? Wasn't he home just now?"
"Chen Zhiqing brought a rabbit. Your father went to kill the rabbit. Let's eat first and don't wait for him." Liang Xueying said as she sat down.
"Why did Chen Zhiqing bring a rabbit to our house for no reason?" Deng Qingling asked.
You have to know that in that era, meat was very precious. Many families were reluctant to buy meat to eat, so how could they just give it to others?
"I heard from your father that Chen Zhiqing and the others wanted to take a few days off to go home, otherwise why would they send rabbits." Liang Xueying said this and then remembered that she couldn't eat rabbit meat during pregnancy.
"Ah Qing, you can't eat rabbit meat when you're pregnant. If you eat rabbit meat, your child will have a three-lobed mouth."
Deng Qingling instantly felt bad when she heard this. She had already thought about how to cook the rabbit. Braised rabbit meat is so delicious!
It’s a pity that I can’t eat it when I’m pregnant!
"I understand." Deng Qingling nodded.
She has also heard this from her friends in modern times. Pregnant women should not eat rabbit meat not because of cleft lip, but because rabbit meat is cold in nature. Eating it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain or diarrhea, which is not good for the health of pregnancy.
Therefore, pregnant women are not recommended to eat rabbit meat. It does not mean that eating rabbit meat will cause the baby to have cleft lip.
I guess no one would believe Deng Qingling if she said this.
In modern times, many people believe that eating rabbit meat will give birth to a child with a three-lobed mouth.
What's more, in this era of backward medical care, even if she said it, everyone would think it was just an excuse for her greed!
…
The next day at noon, Guo Jianping squeezed off the bus with bags of luggage.
Guo Jianping looked at the busy station and wanted to fly back home immediately. He hadn't been home for several months.
I don’t know what’s going on at home, whether my son has lost weight, or whether my wife misses him. She wrote to me two months ago saying she was pregnant.
I don’t know how my wife’s pregnancy is going. This time I can stay at home for two more days and spend more time with my wife and child.
Just as he left the town, Guo Jianping remembered about giving gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival. His wife probably wouldn't go to give him the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts so soon!
Thinking of this, he turned a corner and headed for Tianxin Village. It took him more than ten minutes to reach Tianxin Village.
At this time, everyone had gone home for dinner, and I didn't meet anyone on the way, so I walked all the way to Deng's house.
As he approached the door, Guo Jianping hadn't spoken yet.
Then I heard an excited child's voice.
"Uncle, uncle is here! Grandma and grandpa, my little uncle is here!"
Inside the house, Liang Haidi was just setting the table and preparing to call for dinner when she heard her granddaughter say that her son-in-law had arrived. She turned around and saw her son-in-law walking in from the yard carrying a bunch of things.
"Jianping, you just came back from the county town?" Liang Haidi said.
"Mom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. The factory is on holiday. I thought I would come to give you a gift when I go home, so I came to give you a gift on the way." Guo Jianping explained.
"So that's how it is. We're cooking at home. Go wash your hands and come over to eat. You can come back after you've eaten." Liang Haidi said.
"Okay." Guo Jianping didn't hesitate. He went to wash his hands and then sat down to eat.
After dinner, Guo Jianping took out a roll of mooncakes, a few pears, two pounds of dried fish, two handfuls of fruit candies, and a bottle of Wuliangye from his bag and put them on the table.
Deng Lu's eyes lit up when he saw the bottle of wine. Fearing that Liang Haidi would refuse, he quickly picked up the bottle and said, "Jianping, you're so thoughtful. I like this."
Liang Haidi's face turned dark instantly. This old man was embarrassing himself in front of his son-in-law.
Guo Jianping saw his mother-in-law's dark face and seemed to understand what she meant. He quickly gave her a way out and called her father-in-law, "Dad, as long as you like it, I heard from Aqing that you like to drink but are reluctant to spend grain to make wine, so I bought some wine to honor you."
Deng Lu was instantly happy when he heard this. A Qing was really thoughtful and said that he was reluctant to give up grain to make wine.
In fact, the old woman was too strict and was reluctant to give him the wine she brewed. She only poured him a little when relatives came over during festivals and New Year.
"You are all good kids," Deng Lu said and patted Guo Jianping on the shoulder.
"Okay, go put your wine away." Liang Haidi didn't want to see him embarrass himself anymore, so she quickly sent him away.
Then he turned to his son-in-law and said, "Jianping, you don't need to buy so many things when you come home in the future. Just bring a little bit. Mom and Dad know that you are filial and they don't expect anything from you. We still have a long life! You should spend less in the future."
Although my daughter and son-in-law can make money, we haven't separated the family business. If we don't save money now, if we separate the family business in the future, it will be too much pressure for them to raise several children and send them to school.
"It's a festival, it only comes once a year. I have to buy something to take home to show my filial piety to my parents. Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing." Guo Jianping said.
He has memorized everything his mother-in-law said.
Maybe all parents are like this!
They can't bear to see their children wasting money, so they save money for their children all their lives, don't skimp on food and clothing, don't want to burden their children when they are old, and fight the disease themselves when they are sick. It's really pitiful to see the love of parents in the world.
