Xu Jianjun and his wife have a very good attitude towards Ren Junran's family, also because this family is of good character.

The old man and the old lady did not go to Haicheng before. The family of four would come to visit on the rest day. The things they prepared were not measured by money. Sometimes they were small snacks made by Jiang Xiuqing, and sometimes they were potted flowers. , It's all attentive.

When he is busy with work, Ren Yue will bring his younger brother over. The siblings will usually stay here for one night. The two children are not naughty, mainly because their parents taught well.

Therefore, whenever I come here, my family members are happy. They come more often, so I won’t take them politely, because they are my own family members.

Yu Chunhua also talked about the twin brothers in her memory because of the reunion of the old uncle Yao with her own grandson.

She once said that the two were not young when they were abducted. It stands to reason that they should remember the family's affairs. But thinking about the age of the brothers, she felt that the abduction would definitely not be sold to that kind of household. After all, the age is placed here. Obviously, in the eyes of that kind of buyer, it is unfamiliar. It should be sent to a place similar to a black coal kiln.

So when I think about it, Yu Chunhua is always thinking about it.

It has been more than eighty years now, and China has gone through many turbulent years in the middle. Let alone find it, it is a question of whether people can live after being abducted.

Even if I occasionally think of it in my heart, I don't expect to see their descendants anymore.

Perhaps because of this, for Ren Junran's family, Yu Chunhua is very much waiting to see, there is probably a kind of empathy factor in it.

Anyway, she was about to fall into the soil, and she would be able to touch it sooner or later when she reached the ground.

Old people are always a little bit superstitious. Even if young people tell them that there is no such thing as an afterlife, the old people will be surprised: Have you ever died, how do you know that there is no afterlife?

The family didn’t talk to the old lady about this kind of thing. She didn’t often talk to juniors, and she mentioned it to Xu Ning that year. Just a few sentences.

Usually Xu Ning and Joey chat, most of them speak English, mainly to take care of the two elderly people.

However, they communicate in English privately. Although Jiang Xiuqing teaches Russian, English is naturally not bad, so in the ears of people who don't understand, it is like a bible.

Ren Mingzong occasionally turned to look at his mother and the three of them, and the whole person was sometimes in a daze.

The evening meal was very rich. Lin Sao and Lao Zhao, because Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were not at home, they also came here to help today. Naturally, Xu Ning and the others were not needed for cooking.

"Uncle Xu and Aunt Qin, are you also going to Haicheng?" Ren Junran knew that Xu Jianjun would retire this year.

"October will pass, and there are still some work issues that need to be handed over. Do you guys have to check it out?"

"I can't walk away from Xiuqing School. When you and your aunt go, say hello to us. Xiuqing said that he would make some fried fruit at home to bring you over. Don't dislike it."

Qin Xuejuan smiled and said: "How can you dislike this? Your grandparents are all good at that bite. The outside is crispy and tender on the inside, and then steamed back to the pot is also soft and delicious, but Xiuqing's fried fruit is pumpkin or sweet potato?"

"There are both. This is what my mother-in-law taught me to do in the twelfth month of the year when Jun Ran and I were married. If my aunt likes it, I will do more." Jiang Xiuqing is also grateful to Qin Xuejuan for treating her well, and naturally wants to do it for them. Do more. She and Ren Junran have been married for nearly 20 years. Except for a walk around her parents for a meal during the holidays, they don’t usually have any relatives. Now Ren Junran has found his grandfather, and they can be regarded as the Xu family. With relatives, it is a good thing to be able to walk around.

At least there is no need to feel lonely.

Thinking of the neighbors, the house is full of excitement during the holidays, or relatives and friends are walking around.

And their family has always stayed at home. Although they will walk with friends, they are mostly colleagues. However, the family members have relatives at home during the Chinese New Year. Naturally, they are not good to visit at that time and are not decent.

I'm fine now. I come to the Xu family to walk around during the holidays and visit the old man and everyone in the Xu family. At least I feel warm in my heart.

"Then I won't be polite to Xiuqing." Qin Xuejuan did not refuse.

Jiang Xiuqing heard the words and said, "You are an elder, and you are polite to do something with us, and I don’t know how to do anything other than teaching, but I can figure it out. My mother-in-law told me that Jun Ran liked it the most. I eat this, so I have to do it at the end of the twelfth lunar month every year."

"Jun Ran married you, but a good blessing from cultivation in the last life."

Ren Junran nodded next to him, and Jiang Xiuqing was rarely embarrassed.

Ren Junran has no father since he was born. Although his achievements are impressive now, he still feels a little inferior in his heart. There are not many children who grow up in single-parent families who can be cheerful physically and mentally. Now that grandparents and grandchildren want to see each other, the burden on their hearts and shoulders is considered to be the burden. Take it off, this is the power of family affection, which cannot be replaced no matter how much money or friends.

At this point, Jiang Xiuqing, who was sharing the same bed, felt the deepest.

After dinner, it was not until half past nine that Ren Junran's family brought home a trunk full of fruits and vegetables that Qin Xuejuan had given.

Because it was too late, Jiang Xiuqing had to go to work tomorrow, so he lay down after returning home to wash.

The Ren family’s house is 80 square meters, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The living room area is not too big, and there is a study room separated from it. However, since the imperial capital entered two thousand years, the house price has almost doubled every year. Long, the price over the past two years has made many people sigh.

According to colleagues in economics and sociology in the circle, the following holidays can continue to rise, and the area of ​​the imperial capital is so large. As the capital, even if the climate environment is worse than other provinces and cities, many people are sharpened. The mind wants to come to the imperial capital to develop and settle, so as long as it is not a specific condition, the house price will become more and more expensive.

Now that they can have such a building, they also feel satisfied.

Of course, if the son gets married in the future, according to the rapid development of the imperial capital, the house and demolition funds can be allocated to the courtyard after the demolition. There is no need to worry at that time. It’s not bad to go back to the courtyard. After all, people are older and don’t like to live in buildings very much. Wherever there is a bungalow, you can just open the door and leave.

Now there are two suites in the family, and the children will be able to get them in the future, but it is a matter of sooner or later.

"Why don't I make some fried fruit for Aunt Qin this Sunday, and when Uncle Xu finishes his retirement, they will cook two pots before they go to Haicheng. What do you think?" Jiang Xiuqing discussed with Ren Junran next to him.

"That's fine, I'll help you when the time comes." Ren Junran answered.

At noon on Saturday, the couple drove back from school, went to the vegetable market first, bought two pumpkins and more than a dozen sweet potatoes, and bought some vegetables and other things needed for daily use before returning. Home.

The fried fruits they make are generally made of pure flour, while Jiang Xiuqing uses cooked pumpkin or sweet potatoes and flour together. The fried fruits taste very good, soft and with pumpkin and The unique sweet taste of sweet potatoes.

After returning home, put the pumpkin and sweet potato in a pot, add water to cook, and then let cool.

Of course, it is not easy to mix noodles with pumpkin and sweet potatoes. The dough is not as firm as plain flour and can easily fall apart. Of course, kneading and other processes are naturally incapable of being too heavy.

After mixing and forming the dough, put it on one side and wait for the noodles to unravel, then knead them evenly, use wooden molds to make various shapes, and then put them in hot oil to fry them when they wake up.

Fry it until the surface is golden, and the inside can be fished out after it's ripe. If you let it cool a little bit, it will be absolutely crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

When Ren Mingzong came back from his classmate’s house upstairs, he smelled this fragrant smell as soon as he entered the door. He spread his legs and rushed into the kitchen. He saw the fried fruit in the basin. He wowed and called to wash his hands. Take a bite.

"Really delicious."

"It's too early, I'll cook two dishes and let's have dinner to see if your sister is finished."

Ren Mingzong went to Ren Yue's room in response.

Jiang Xiuqing fryed three dishes briefly, and then the family sat down to eat. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

The staple food is fried fruit, and the whole family can eat it every Chinese New Year. Because the process is too cumbersome, Jiang Xiuqing is also busy at work, and he doesn't usually do this.

However, during the Chinese New Year, she usually makes one to two hundred. Except for sending dozens back to her parents' house, the rest are stuffed into the refrigerator to eat by her family.

"Let’s cool down tonight, and I will pretend to be up tomorrow morning, and you will send it to the Xu family."

"Okay!" Ren Junran nodded, "Are you not going?"

"I still have work tomorrow, so I won't go with you."

Ren Mingzong hurriedly raised his hand, "I will go with Dad, and Xie Huai will be at Grandpa Xu's house tomorrow."

He and Xie Huai usually only see each other on Sundays. Sometimes they don't see each other, so they don't see each other more than ten times, but the two little boys get along very well.

Ren Yue has just been promoted to university, and she has to work hard for her major in the future if she wants to develop better.

Besides, Ren Yue’s goal is to enter a national research institute in the future, not to find a job in a certain company. Therefore, although it is a day off, there are a lot of books to read, and he will not be lazy with the effort. .

"I still have to read a book, and I won't follow it tomorrow. Grandpa is not at home either, so let's wait for the New Year."

"Row!"

After breakfast the next day, Jiang Xiuqing put the fried fruit that had been kept overnight in two plastic bags, and then let the father and son carry them away.

Ren Yue helped her mother clean up the dishes, Jiang Xiuqing sorted out all kinds of kitchen utensils in the kitchen, while she was standing in front of the faucet to wash the dishes.

"Mom, Grandpa is not at home. Wouldn't it be too good for us to go to Xu's house often like this?" Ren Yue is older and considers many things more comprehensive than his younger brother. In addition, because the gap between the two families is like heaven and earth, Ren Yue's heart I always feel a little unexplainable.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, how Jiang Xiuqing couldn't understand what she meant by her daughter.

She glanced at Ren Yue and said with a smile: "If you have this kind of thought, but you often go to Xu's house, it is not good. My father and I have never had your kind of thoughts, although Xu's family is a rich family. In comparison, the conditions of our family are not bad. Don’t have that kind of improper burden in your heart, thinking that we are fawning on the Xu family. In fact, your grandfather has been taking care of the Xu family filially over the years. Your Grandpa Xu, Grandma Qin, and Uncle Ning Rui are not related to your grandfather. The success of the Xu family today has nothing to do with your grandfather, but they still regard your grandfather as a close relative. We are your wife. What's wrong with the younger generation of grandfather's relatives and the Xu family? After all, they replaced our family and honored your grandfather for decades. Do you want to live with the Xu family?"

"I'm not what Mom thought." Ren Yue explained.

"I know, you are my daughter, can I still be unclear?" Jiang Xiuqing patted her on the shoulder, "You are afraid that Xu family members will feel like our poor relatives are rushing forward because of our hard work. They wander around in front of them and take advantage of them in the future, right? I have talked with your aunt Xu Ning several times. Their family does not have that kind of thinking, and our family will not delusionate about things that do not belong to them. These years, our family has merged. There is no shortage of food and clothing. On the contrary, the living conditions are quite good compared to most people. Parents have a steelyard in their hearts. Don't go into a dead end, and don't keep things in your heart."

Ren Yue felt relieved when his mother explained it like this.

A girl her age is sensitive, and at the same time she cares about other people's views of their home.

Ren Yue naturally believes in his parents, but what if others gossiping?

It seems that her parents had thought of this a long time ago, and she had been worrying too much.

"Someone in school is talking about you behind your back?"

Ren Yue shook his head, "No, no one else knows the relationship between us and the Xu family, I didn't say anything about it."

"Well, our own business."

Ren Yue thinks so too, his own private affairs do not need to be publicized everywhere.

If Xu's family is an ordinary family, she might also talk to a good friend in the dormitory that their family has found the old man, and the old man is already a centenarian, but he is particularly healthy.

But now the Xu family is a well-known home for the nobles in the imperial capital and even the entire Chinese capital. Moreover, their only connection with the Xu family is the grandfather. Everywhere they say, Ren Yue can’t open his mouth, so let’s listen. What kind of nasty gossip?

The Xu family was definitely not kept silent by her because she was shameless, but because she was too famous, it was not easy to claim it.

Jiang Xiuqing put the dried plate in the cupboard and suddenly asked, "It's not because of this that you didn't go to Xu's house, did you?"

"Of course not," Ren Yue couldn't help but smile: "You treat me as a naive child. The previous professor gave a lecture on genetics. I was a little enlightened, so I wanted to take advantage of it for more than two days. Related books and materials."

"That's good."

"Mom, don't worry, I actually really like Xie Yang and the three siblings, but the background of the Xu family is too scary." Ren Yue stuck out her tongue playfully.

Jiang Xiuqing glared at his daughter angrily, and stopped talking.
