On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1984, Xu Jingyan got up early in the morning and put on new clothes. These new clothes were the clothes that her eldest brother brought from the south. Each member of the family kept two pieces for themselves. At the beginning Zheng Lanzhi was still reluctant, so she said so.

"You two brothers and sisters and the eldest daughter-in-law can just keep a couple of clothes to wear. Your father and I won't need them. It's better to sell these clothes for money."

Or Xu Jingyan said, it would be embarrassing if you didn't wear them. You are in the clothing business, but you are still wearing old clothes, and these clothes have patches on them. If you tell me, people won't laugh at you?

Zheng Lanzhi was speechless after saying this, and in the end, only two pieces of clothing were left behind by the whole family.

Zhang Guilan is now four or five months pregnant. She has lived in her parents' home for several months, so she will not be short-changed in terms of nutrition. What's more, Xu Jingsheng always brings some nutritional supplements with her every time she goes there. It was bought from the south. It is said that it is what women in Xiangjiang eat when they are pregnant.

Therefore, Zhang Guilan's belly is not small even though it is five months old. Xu Jingyan once suspected that her sister-in-law was pregnant with twins. However, the current medical conditions are not enough, not to mention that family planning has begun to be implemented, and the hospital will not tell them. Are you having a boy or a girl?

Xu Yuanshan and Zheng Lanzhi also said that whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all the grandchildren of our family. If it is a boy, it is better, but if it is not, it will not matter. At worst, they will just have another child. In the eyes of Xu Yuanshan and Zheng Lanzhi, family planning The matter is not very serious, and the main reason is that the family planning policy in recent years is not as strict as in the later years.

Xu Jingyao didn't want to say much about family planning. She just let everything take its course. There will be many people in future generations who will worry about having a son.

During the few days of the Chinese New Year, the family basically did not go out. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Yuanshan and Xu Jingsheng, their father and son, went back to visit several elders in the family. After that, the family returned home. Didn't go out either.

It was not until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that the market opened. Early in the morning, mother and daughter Zheng Lanzhi and Xu Jingyao went to set up a stall in front of the cinema to sell tea eggs.

The business on the first day after the New Year was very good. Several families nearby talked about you. After eating tea eggs all winter, I suddenly stopped eating them during the New Year and missed them a little. They also talked about Xu’s tea eggs. It tastes much better than other restaurants, and they can't explain why it's so delicious. Anyway, it's delicious.

In fact, Xu Jingyan knows the reason, because the water she uses to cook tea eggs is spiritual spring water in space. No matter how thin the spiritual energy is, it is much more delicious than water in the mortal world, so the cooked tea eggs are also delicious. a lot of.

Several stalls selling tea eggs appeared one after another near the cinema. At first, the surrounding residents would buy two to try. After tasting them, they still chose to buy Xu’s tea eggs, so even if Several more tea egg stalls opened, but they did not have any impact on the Xu family's tea egg stall. The 600 tea eggs cooked by the Xu family every day were sold out in the middle of the afternoon.

Those families that also sold tea eggs, even if they were jealous and refused to give up, they had no choice but to watch the Xu family sell out and go home early every day. Later, they also thought about it, and the Xu family hurriedly sold them. After they left, their tea eggs were sold out by dark, so they were no longer jealous.

Xu Jingyan naturally knew their mentality, but she didn't say anything. Selling tea eggs at home was only temporary. It was impossible to sell tea eggs all the time. Firstly, this was excessive. Secondly, let's see what kind of business could be done. After all, there were As the old saying goes, it is easier to find a horse when you are riding a horse. Only when you are in business can you have a businessman's vision and be able to discover business opportunities.

Perhaps it was the first day after the new year. All the 600 boiled tea eggs were sold out at noon. Xu Jingyan was helping her mother clean up the stall. They were going home. After going back and taking a rest, they were about to start. I’m getting ready to cook the tea eggs I’ll sell tomorrow.

"Lanzhi, when did you move to the city?"

Xu Jingyan didn't recognize who was speaking, and suddenly saw her mother frozen there. She turned around and saw an old man in his sixties or seventies looking at her mother, looking at that familiar face. , Xu Jingyan immediately thought of who this was.

This is my grandfather! I saw him holding a cane and wearing a Chinese tunic suit. Although he looked a little old, he was also clean and starched, and his silver hair swayed gently in the spring breeze.

She looked at her mother and didn't know whether she should go forward to greet the old man. After thinking about it, she still didn't move. This is her mother's father. How to deal with the relationship between them is left to her mother!

Zheng Lanzhi had come to her senses at this time and did not speak. Instead, she turned around and continued to pack her things. Xu Jingyan's mouth moved, but she still did not say anything and continued to pack her things with her mother.

After loading the pots and stoves on the trolley, Zheng Lanzhi pushed the trolley directly towards home. Xu Jingyan turned and looked at the old man again. The old man's eyes were very calm, without any waves, as if Just looking at a familiar stranger.

Xu Jingyan chased her mother without saying a word. The mother and daughter did not speak all the way and returned home in silence. Zhang Guilan walked out of the house after entering the house.

"Mom, little sister, you sold out so early?"

Zheng Lanzhi had recovered by now and smiled.

"Maybe it's because I haven't eaten in seven or eight days. The regular customers all wanted this bite, so they bought more."

After the mother and daughter unloaded the things, they began to wash the eggs. The conditions now are much better than when they were in the rental house, and the space is larger. Moreover, when they started the stove, they specially set up a big stove. I bought a big pot so that I can cook the eggs directly in one go, instead of having to cook them in two pots.

Xu Jingyan looked at her mother's expression, and she seemed to have returned to normal, and then she felt relieved. In her memory, in the past few years, her grandfather would bring things to visit her at home every year, but after so many years, They have never entered the Xu family's front door. Naturally, the reason is that their mother won't let them.

Maybe they went there again this year, but General Tie was at home and made inquiries before coming to the county to look for him. In fact, the Xu family knew this, and sooner or later they would find him, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon. found it.

"Okay, what are you looking at? Your mother and I are not that fragile. If I were, I probably wouldn't have you two siblings."

After hearing what my mother said, I realized that I had been secretly observing and my mother had discovered it, and I immediately smiled.

"Mom, aren't I worried about you?"

Zheng Lanzhi sighed.

"It's okay. It's been decades, and things have already faded away. In fact, it's very good. I don't know why they have to come to me. They have sons and grandsons, and they don't need me to provide for them in their old age. Do you know what to draw?"
