However, Wu Yan did not dwell on this matter. She glanced at Jin Yi's computer and pulled him downstairs with a normal expression, saying that he was a neighbor and her home was at least 3000 meters away from here.
Jin Yi pushed over his Phoenix brand, which was so worn out that even a car thief wouldn't visit because no one likes riding such a bulky bicycle.
Carrying Wu Yan to the nearest supermarket, Xiao Ni Zi had been feeling a bit restless since coming out of his house. It wasn't until Jin Yi came out with a lot of things that she realized, "You, why did you buy something to go to my house again
Your mother is so sick, how could I bring something to visit! "Jin Yi, who had learned a lot about human relationships in recent years, handed it to Wu Yan and carried it to her home.
The Nangang where Jin Yi works has not been developed like the Beigang, and is surrounded by rice paddies. Wu Yan's home is an extremely dilapidated flat roofed house in a banyan tree. Her father, Old Wu, named Wu Dazhong, is just a farmer who works hard. His wife, Liu Wenqing, is born weak and has been plagued by illness. In addition, she has to support Wu Yan's education, leaving her family penniless. Jin Yi has been helping them for the past two years and has been in frequent contact with them on a regular basis.
Today's situation is somewhat abnormal. Wang Dazhong, who has been frowning all along, has a red face and a smile in his eyebrows. He has been looking at the door all along. When Jin Yi stopped the car, he greeted him and said, "Xiao Jin, why are you buying things again? I really can't bear it, brother!" His eyebrows were filled with fear.
I bought it for Mrs. Wu! "Jin Yi smiled and said," Just some fruits and some nutritional supplements, they're not expensive
Dad, why don't you ask Brother Yi to come in and talk about it? "Wu Yan interjected from behind.
As soon as his daughter reminded him, Lao Wu hurriedly said, "Please come in, please come in!" Turning around, he moved the only better wooden chair in the room to Jin Yi and said, "Your sister-in-law is cooking, we'll have something to eat soon
Isn't my sister-in-law still sick? "Jin Yi hurriedly got up and said," Let me help you go
"No, your sister-in-law Wang is happy today and keeps her busy!" Lao Wu looked at his daughter and said, "Nina, help your mother!" Then he went to get chopsticks, and then he took two bottles of Baijiu to the table, sat down on the left side of Jin Yi, and said, "I don't drink in order to save money, brother. Today is an exception!" He filled two cups, smelled the taste with his nose, and drank half a cup at a time.
Lao Wu, what happy occasion did you have today? "Jin Yi felt a sense of joy and happiness in this family, giving herself a warm feeling. This was the taste that she had loved since she was a child in hell.
This - "Old Wu was about to explain when Wu Yan in the kitchen suddenly stretched out her voice and called out," Dad.
This naughty girl! "Old Wu was warned by his daughter and remained silent. A middle-aged woman with a slender figure and an ordinary appearance walked out of the kitchen door, similar to an ordinary rural woman. After serving a plate of dishes on the table, she shyly said," Xiao Jin, thank you so much. Sister in law, I've made you worry again! "After speaking, she wiped her red eyes with the back of her hand, smiled, and turned around to enter the kitchen.
It's all bitter haha, it's only right to help each other! "Jin Yi didn't say much. He looked at the dish in front of him, a plate full of red oil belly shreds, piled up like a small mountain, with bright red peppers and neatly cut belly shreds. He couldn't help but be stunned. What happened to Old Wu's family today? Nowadays, pork prices are skyrocketing, with a pork belly costing at least tens of yuan. How could one spend so much money just for oneself? You should know that the taste in the south tends to be light, and this extremely spicy red oil tripe is something that only oneself likes to eat.
What are you staring at? Eat and eat! "Old Wu's spirit was very good. He drank Nanzhou Daqu, which had a alcohol content of over 50 degrees, and also toasted Jin Yi repeatedly.
Lao Wu, there's no need to spend so much money. I'm used to coming to your house to scrape off food! "Jin Yi felt a little embarrassed. Their family's finances were tight, and a few dozen yuan was enough for ten days' worth of food.
Don't be polite to my family, just eat more! "Wu Yan smiled and served the second dish, spicy beef. The pungent and spicy taste mixed with the aroma of beef penetrated her nose, causing Jin Yi to sneeze. The shiny and oily beef chunks hooked her fingers and she took a piece and put it in her mouth. It was crispy but not rotten, flexible and chewy, and with that spicy flavor, her pores relaxed and she felt extremely refreshed.
The strangeness in Jin Yi's heart began to intensify. Although he helped them a lot yesterday, they always knew they didn't like to be polite. Today's situation is similar to welcoming their son-in-law for the first time. Is there any other meaning? My head suddenly began to spin rapidly, wanting to see any clues.
The third dish, four fried Roast?squab, was not a typical peasant's dish. Jinyi put his chopsticks aside and looked at Wang Dazhong in front of him and said, "Lao Wu, if you don't give me a reason today, I can't eat this meal!"
Lao Wu is honest and straightforward. He usually can't fart with three hammers. Today, when he saw Jin Yi not eating, he had two thick lips and one, and his words were extremely sharp. "Xiao Jin, you helped me a lot yesterday, a total of ten thousand yuan. Your sister-in-law and I don't have enough left after working for a year, and these few dishes are only a few hundred yuan. If we don't repay each other with a drop of water, don't laugh at us for being poor!" As he spoke the last few sentences, his dark face turned red with anger. A man who had been forced to hunch over by life too early blinked tears, and his wife came from the kitchen. Liu Wenqing gasped for breath.
Lao Wu, don't get too excited! "Jin Yi smiled wryly. He was very affectionate and it was his fault not to eat, but he said," But you can't be so grand. I'm used to eating and eating, just a plate of vegetables and a few chili peppers are enough. I won't dare to come next time like this
Just this time, just this time! "Old Wu laughed so hard that his crow's feet were squeezed together at the corner of his eyes. He raised his chopsticks and said," Eat, eat! "He was really happy today.
The fourth dish was a plate of oil soaked chili peppers, which was so oily and spicy that it was pungent. Jin Yi finally felt relieved and joked, "It's okay, okay. I almost thought you were treating me like a son-in-law for the first time, so home cooked dishes are better
Look at what you're saying! "Wu Yan gave him a disdainful glance and muttered carefully," Does a son-in-law call his in laws his sister-in-law
Xiaoyan! You're neither big nor small! "Old Wu quickly scolded her.
Dad, I call him brother and he calls you sister-in-law. Isn't that a mess? "Wu Yan said mischievously and quickly rushed into the kitchen. Her figure was petite and exquisite, truly stunning, which made Jin Yi realize how time flies. When she first met her, she was just a yellow haired girl, but now she has become a little beauty.
That's why you insisted on calling me 'brother' instead of 'uncle'! "Old Wu shouted in the kitchen, but with a deep meaning, he said to Jin Yi," But it's okay for Xiao Jin to call me 'uncle'. I wonder if my wife is lucky enough
Jin Yi felt a chill in the back of his head. Didn't Lao Wu plan to become his own son-in-law?
But in the fifth dish, a big lobster with a shell peeled and three pounds of succulent meat was served.
Jin Yi turns pale, and Liu Wenqing, who notices his face, whispers softly, "Little Jin, my family is in the port, and there are a lot of seafood. You haven't served any seafood for so long. The next time you come here, it will still be home cooked food for you, but this time it is my family's intention, and you must not be disgusted!"
Sister in law, you guys are really spending too much! "Jin Yi couldn't help but say something and drank a glass of wine in frustration.
After going back and forth, nine dishes were served, and Jin Yi's mouth was full of bitterness. Lao Wu's family ate rough rice, green vegetables, and leaves every day. Many of the dishes were sold for money and they were reluctant to eat. The money spent on this meal was enough to cover his half month bag at the dock.
Liu Wenqing washed his hands and sat down at the table, while Wu Yan remained in the kitchen for a long time.
Jin Yi looked down at the table and saw that there was a big one left in the middle. Obviously, there was still a dish that hadn't been served. The local custom was to serve the last bowl of soup, so it seemed that she was bringing soup.
Wu Yan finally walked out of the kitchen and brought a large plate with a sea bowl upside down. She couldn't see the dishes and didn't emit any heat. Obviously, it wasn't soup or hot dishes.
Could it be some cold dish? Jin Yi secretly thought to himself, only to find that the little girl's face was blushing. She was naturally beautiful with a plain face, delicate yet lively. This shy and timid expression made him feel a bit amazed. This girl has really grown up.
A question arises in my heart, is there anything else special about this dish? Looking at Lao Wu and his wife with his eyes, their behavior made him even more suspicious. Lao Wu's thick purple lips were trembling, his rough hands were also trembling, and he didn't even notice the liquid in his wine glass trembling. However, Liu Wenqing, a quiet and gentle woman, couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes and turned her head, not sad, but with a joyful expression.
I'm not really planning to give my daughter to me, right? Jin Yi couldn't figure out the unusual behavior of this family. Helping Wu Yan was just a matter of brotherhood, not expecting a favor in return.
When Wu Yan walked over to her side, with her excellent hearing power, she could hear the girl's rapid heartbeat. Her snow-white little hands holding the rim of the dish also trembled gently, as if the dish weighed a thousand pounds. She slowly placed it on the table and didn't sit down beside it. She stood with her head down, feeling a bit cramped, and the room fell silent for a moment.
It's so quiet that it's suffocating.
What kind of dish is this? It can't be too expensive! "Jin Yi broke the silence.
This dish is very expensive! "Wu Yan's face lit up unexpectedly, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She trembled and said to Jin Yi," You can just open it up and take a look yourself
Yes, yes, Xiao Jin, open it up and take a look! "Wang Dazhong and Liu Wenqing also urged together.
Jin Yi reached out and slowly untied the inverted sea bowl. A golden light reflected the last rays of the sunset outside the door and entered Jin Yi's eyes.
A notice with gold borders lay quietly in the center of the plate.
