Farming and Bend the National Husband

The wine actually had such a miraculous effect, and Nie Zhengxin and his wife felt like they were dreaming. They discussed it privately and planned to go to Yucheng to thank the young man face to face, and get to know this strange man by the way.

Anyway, the journey from Hangzhou to Yucheng is not too long, it only takes two hours.

During breakfast, I told my parents about it.

Nie Hongjun was very surprised to see the happy face of his son and daughter-in-law.

He is someone who has been there before, and he noticed the abnormality of his son and daughter-in-law very early on. It's just that his son is getting older and he can't ask about some things, so he keeps it in his heart.

If it was really because of the wine that the son's married life returned to normal, then they should really thank Xia Jiusheng.

My son is only 35 years old, and the days to come are still long. As parents, I always hope that their husband and wife will be loving and harmonious, but how can life be smooth and peaceful all the time.They are also ordinary people. Some things can help, and some things can't be done.

If he could establish a friendship with Xia Jiusheng, he would be more guaranteed in terms of health in the future, and he would naturally be happy to see it.

When Nie Zhengcheng heard this, he also clamored to go together. After being persuaded by his elder son, Nie Hongjun thought about it, but he just gave him a look, but he didn't stop him after all.

So Nie Zhengxin's family of three, plus Nie Zhengcheng, went to Yucheng together.

The annual gift to Xia Jiusheng has already been given, so there is no need to give it again, but since he is going to thank him, he naturally cannot empty-handed. Nie Hongjun searched at home, picked out a few expensive gift boxes, and put them in the trunk.

He is a university professor, and he has a lot of successful students. Every time before the Chinese New Year, he always receives a lot of gift boxes.

As long as it is not particularly valuable, he will not reject it hypocritically, so there are a lot of miscellaneous gifts at home.

In the car, Nie Zhengxin asked his younger brother about Xia Jiusheng's situation. He didn't think that Nie Zhengcheng didn't know much. It was all information leaked from his parents. Moreover, he and Xia Jiusheng had only met once, and he was very handsome. .

Xia Zhengxin believed this.Some of the men and women that the cousin came into contact with were ordinary.Otherwise, Zhao Zezhong would not have left Li Qiaowei behind for him.

If it wasn't really outstanding, the Zhao family would have married the Li family for him?

In Xiajiazhuang Village, before every year, there will always be sheep farmers who slaughter sheep and sell them.

Those goats were all grown up on the mountains grazing. The meat is naturally better than those bought in the market, and the price is also very expensive. In previous years, the family was reluctant to buy one. .

An adult white goat, cleaned up, including the belt and bone, weighs more than 40 kilograms, and it is all braised in brown sauce, just like a large pot on the stove.

Everyone in the family loves to eat mutton. Before entertaining guests on the first day of the first lunar month, each meal is served on a plate, and they can basically finish eating, so it looks like a lot, but in fact it is only enough.

Father Xia picked up the bone-chopping knife, took it to the cement board next to the sink in the yard, put it on a thick cutting board, and skillfully cut it into squares.Xia Jiusheng peeled green onions, garlic and other seasonings, peeled the ginger, and prepared some cinnamon, fennel, and peppercorns. An An and A Fu didn't go to play, but watched Dad Xia work in the yard under the sun.

No one raises beef cattle in the local area, so they can only go to the market to buy them. The taste will definitely be worse. Xia Jiusheng thought about it. Next year, if he has a chance, he will ask Zhao Zezhong to help him and go to the north to buy dozens of catties of good beef.

Pork is good. The authentic native pork is raised in several nearby villages. Xia Jiusheng was willing to spend money. He bought a hoof, a whole hind leg, more than ten catties of pork belly, and five catties of lean meat. , a pair of pig intestines.

Hoofs, hind legs, and pig intestines are all used to braise in soy sauce, and they are used to entertain relatives who love meat during the Chinese New Year. Xia Jiusheng's family is carnivorous and can eat a lot.Pork belly, of course, is used to make braised pork. The braised pork with moldy dried vegetables in Shaocheng is a famous local dish, but now people have a high-end mouth.

Every spring, bamboo shoots grow out, and every household digs some and cooks them in the sun. Fresh bamboo shoots are easy to cause allergies or gastrointestinal discomfort. Dried bamboo shoots do not have these problems. After absorbing the meaty taste, they chew well and are better than meat. eat.

In the past, people couldn't make authentic ones, so they asked the banquet chefs in the countryside to help them fry them, and then took them back and steamed them with dried vegetables.Now that the Internet is developed, everyone has gradually mastered the skills, and Mama Xia has also learned it. Although the appearance is not so good, the taste is almost the same.

Cut the pork belly into cubes of about ten centimeters, the size is not specified, it depends on the size of each plate.Then cut the meat into thin slices with the skin facing down. The skin is connected into a whole piece and cannot be cut. Put the cut meat into the colored sauce with the skin facing down so that the color of the skin is dyed red and black. .

When the temperature of the oil pan is enough, put the oil pan down with the skin facing down. The skin will wrinkle in the high-temperature oil. Turn it over a few times, wait for a while after the skin bubbles, and then you can pick it up.Of course, if it’s not too troublesome, you can also put less oil, just soak the pork skin in the oil, and slowly fry the pork skin until it is scorched and blistered, which can also achieve the effect.

The meat is both boiled and steamed at home, and the whole house is full of the smell of meat, which makes people salivate.

The mutton skin is thin and easy to cook. After more than an hour of stewing on low heat, the meat has become soft and rotten. Mother Xia put down the seasoning, picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

The others were not calm anymore, everyone ran to get chopsticks, put meat in the pot to eat, Wen Yue has been here for a long time, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider, so she was naturally rude.After a while, two or three catties of meat were eaten.

"Okay? Do you want to entertain guests again after Chinese New Year?" Xia's mother glared at them and drove them away.

"After eating, go buy another one." Xia Jiusheng said with a smile on his face.

This was a joke after all, everyone obediently put down their chopsticks and left the kitchen.

Everyone knows that if you eat too much mutton, you will get angry.

※※※

When Nie Zhengxin and the others arrived, Xia Jiusheng's braised pork had just been steamed. When the lid was opened, the thick aroma of the meat mixed with the muffled aroma of dried bamboo shoots and vegetables wafted out of the kitchen, making people salivate.

"It smells so good—" Nie Zhengxin walked into the yard and took a deep breath.

It suddenly occurred to me that my father had always praised the delicious food of Xia Jiusheng's family, so today is the right time?

The Nie family members are all tall and straightforward. Although they live in Hangzhou, they are typical northerners who love meat like life.

Although he had never been to Xia Jiusheng's house, Nie Hongjun's description was very specific, and his house was located in the westernmost part of the village, so it was easy to find, and he was not afraid of going wrong.

"Wen Yue, why is your big man here?" Xia Jiusheng heard the sound of the car, looked out to see Nie Zhengcheng in the yard, and said to Wen Yue with a smile as he came out.

Wen Yue told the master that he liked to talk about Nie Zhengcheng's stature, so he had no choice but to give the master a sneaky look.

As far as he is concerned, it is good for a man to be this tall, manly enough, and safe enough.

"Wen Yue, Xiao Xia." Seeing them, Xia Zhengcheng stepped forward to introduce his brother and sister-in-law.

Seeing that it was Nie Zhengcheng's elder brother's family, Xia Jiusheng was very surprised and hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

Nie Zhengxin looks a little more like Nie Hongjun, but he is shorter than his younger brother, but he is 1.8 meters five, black and strong, and his wife is just over 1.6 meters tall, standing next to him, looking like a small bird .

Nie Zhengcheng naturally sat next to Wen Yuedi, and the two of them sat together, one was bold and unrestrained and the other was as gentle as jade, and they were a perfect match.

"Are you the one my uncle likes?" The little girl looked at Wen Yue curiously, the spark of gossip in her eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what. "Much more handsome than my dad and uncle, no wonder my uncle likes it."

"Don't talk nonsense, baby girl." Seeing Wen Yue's bookish look, Mrs. Nie stopped her from saying that she was afraid that he would be thin-skinned and wouldn't be able to stand her daughter's unobtrusive words.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, Wen Yue is easy to talk to." Xia Jiusheng said with a smile.

After getting acquainted with Nie Zhengcheng, Wen Yue never gave a clear answer, and Xia Jiusheng was also worried about him.

To know homosexuality, it is not easy to meet a suitable partner. A man like Nie Zhengcheng, regardless of his character or family background, is good. Xia Jiusheng felt that Wen Yue should be more active and tie this man.

It was rare that Nie Zhengcheng's elder brother came today. He was Wen Yue's master. When the two met, it was like an elder discussing a younger generation's marriage. Naturally, he had to do his best to speak well of Wen Yue.

Mrs. Nie saw that Xia Jiusheng was much younger than Wen Yue, but seemed to be able to help him decide. She was a little puzzled about their relationship, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

"Wen Yue is my mother's godson, so we are a family." Xia Jiusheng explained as if he understood their doubts.After a pause, he continued, "He is not in good health. I am teaching him how to exercise, so he is also my apprentice."

No wonder.Mrs. Nie nodded secretly.

They heard from his younger brother that although Wen Yue is not an orphan, he has no relatives, and it is his luck that he can live in Xia's house now.

"Oh, your relationship is too complicated." After listening to Xia Jiusheng's explanation, the little girl yelled loudly, but couldn't understand their relationship after thinking about it for a long time.

Turning to look at mother again, the little adult frowned: "But I still have a question, he has become my uncle's object now, should I call him aunt? Or uncle?"

"Uncle." Mrs. Nie rolled her daughter's eyes, then smiled apologetically at Wen Yue.

"Uncle." The little girl opened her mouth and called enthusiastically without any shyness.

Wen Yue responded, but her expression was a little unnatural.

In my heart, I really liked this straightforward little girl. Seeing that Nie Zhengxin and his wife called her Nannan, they knew that this was the nickname given to children by the elders in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they asked with a smile, "What is the nickname of Nannan?"

"My name is Nie Xiaoman." The little girl replied straightforwardly.

Seeing the little girl calling for someone, Xia Jiusheng suddenly heard the greeting that Wen Yue didn't prepare for the child. He stood up and went to the kitchen, asking mother what to do?

When Xia's mother heard it, she was also a little worried. Unlike her relatives, they gave a red envelope of two hundred, which would be good.After thinking about it, I don’t have anything to send, so let’s pack 800 yuan.

Xia Jiusheng returned to the living room, and when he passed behind Wen Yue, he stuffed the red envelope into the slanted pocket of Wen Yue's jacket. Wen Yue noticed something strange in the pocket, touched it with her hand, and saw that it was a red envelope, she understood in her heart, and looked at the master gratefully .

After saying a few more words, he took out the red envelope and handed it to the little girl.

Nie Xiaoman didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he turned to look at his mother, saw her nod, took it over, and thanked her.

An'an and Ah Fu went outside to play, and now when they came home, they saw that there were many guests in the house, especially a girl who was not a few years older than them.

When several children meet, how to address them becomes a problem.

Mrs. Nie wanted her daughters to be called An An and Uncle A Fu.An An and Wen Yue are of the same generation, and Ah Fu is also of the same generation as Duan Wei Pai.

At this age, the little girl has already entered puberty, and she attaches great importance to these face-saving issues, and she is a little reluctant to call the two brats uncle.

Xia Jiusheng didn't force it either, and told them to go their separate ways and call each other by first name.

In this regard, the approach of Western countries is more humane.

※※※

When eating at noon, Xia Jiusheng naturally brought out the best dishes to entertain them, and Nie Zhengxin's family couldn't stop eating.

No wonder my father joked that if Xia Jiusheng didn't dislike him, he would like to retire with them. It turns out that their family not only has magical wine, but also delicious food.

After one meal, the two brothers lost their image. A plate full of mutton, buckwheat, and hoofs fell into their stomachs.

As for the rice field eels and loaches that were specially entertained by the distinguished guests, there was not even a single bit left, even Nie Xiaoman ate two bowls of rice.

"I'm so full." The little girl yelled indistinctly as she got off the table after eating.

"Then let's go for a walk outside and digest it." Seeing that everyone was full, Xia Jiusheng stood up and suggested.

Xiajiazhuang Village also had nowhere to go, so they took them to Da'ao for a walk.

Nie Zhengxin is a bridge engineer, and he has formed a habit of studying the place. Seeing that Da'ao is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is flat and the land is fertile, he kept saying that it is a good place.

Xia Jiusheng explained his plan again, and Nie Zhengxin gave him advice on building a house with a professional eye.

Ordinary people don't pay attention to these details, and they often don't find out until they move in. For example, the sunlight is not good enough in winter, the room temperature is too high in summer, the air circulation is not good, and the yard is easy to be flooded in rainy days, etc. Nie Zhengxin explained in detail and gave suggestions for improvement.

After Xia Jiusheng patiently listened to his explanation, he realized that there is a lot of knowledge here.

Nie Zhengxin and his father are not good at the same place. It seems that it is necessary to ask Nie Zhengxin to look at the plan and make some fine-tuning on some details. After all, it will be difficult to change it after the start of work.

Wen Yue and Nie Zhengcheng walked behind, and they didn't know what they were whispering. Anyway, seeing the spring in the corners of Wen Yue's eyes, they should have a good chat.

The little girl and her mother went to the reservoir to play in the water. People who have lived in the city for a long time rarely have the opportunity to see such clear water, so they are very excited.

※※※

After strolling outside, we went into the house, made tea, and everyone sat down to discuss matters formally.

Xia Jiusheng heard that Nie Zhengxin came this time, mainly to thank him for the wine that healed his old wounds.Quickly said you're welcome.

Although Nie Zhengxin spoke vaguely, he understood the effect of wine, and seeing that he refused to explain clearly, he probably understood what he meant and did not expose it.

Seeing that Nie Zhengxin was very curious about this wine, Xia Jiusheng was afraid that he would have other ideas, so he reasoned that because it was not easy to brew, the annual output was not much, so he could only give some to drink from relatives and friends.

Nie Zhengxin was just curious and had no other intentions. Seeing that Xia Jiusheng didn't really want to talk about this topic, he wisely changed the topic.

So we talked about Wen Yue.

Wen Yue didn't tell Nie Zhengcheng about this, mainly because she felt that the two of them didn't know each other well enough, fearing that after talking about it, Wen Yue's perfect impression in Nie Zhengcheng's heart would be broken.However, Xia Jiusheng felt that if Nie Zhengcheng was sincere towards Wen Yue, he might care about it, but he should be able to accept it.

What's more, if the two of them really get better, the Nie family will definitely learn about Wen Yue's past. Rather than being found out by them, it's better to speak out freely.

Wen Yue understands all these reasons, but when it's about her, she will be confused, but Xia Jiusheng is clear to the bystanders.

Seeing that Wen Yue was embarrassed to say it, Xia Jiusheng told the two brothers about it in detail.

As for the little girl and her mother, they did not sit here while watching Mama Xia cook the rural local stew in the yard.

After hearing what happened to Wen Yue, Nie Zhengcheng was very angry. There is such a shameless man in the world, betrayal is shameless enough, and he even stole all his lover's money.

What's even worse is that his lover lost his memory because of him, but he left him to fend for himself. If it wasn't for Wen Yue's fate, and happened to meet Xia Jiusheng, he would definitely be dead by the roadside by now.

"This bastard was shot dead, and he was not wronged." Nie Zhengcheng cursed bitterly.

Nie Zhengxin was more rational. It was not up to him whether the other party should die, but he also agreed to punish this man, but he had to act within the rules and not go to extremes.

So everyone discussed what to do next, which was nothing more than getting back Wen Yue's part and letting that man go bankrupt.

Wen Yue was relieved to see that Nie Zhengcheng didn't change his view of herself because of this.

After sitting and chatting for a while, they also planned to go back. The Chinese New Year is coming, and everyone has a lot of things to do.

Although Nie Zhengcheng really wanted to be with Wen Yue, his parents seemed to be letting go now, and he didn't want to go too far and irritate the two elders.What's more, Hangzhou is not far from Yucheng, so it's easy to come here, but it's not as difficult as last time.

Seeing that they brought so many gifts, Xia Jiusheng had nothing else to give, so he went to the backyard and cut two baskets of fruits and vegetables for them to take back. He also caught a few fish and kept them in buckets for them to take away.

After eating at noon, the little girl also fell in love with the taste of these fruits, vegetables and fish. Seeing Xia Jiusheng sent so much, she was very excited.

An An and A Fu played with Nie Xiaoman for a long time, and they got to know each other well. Now they want to separate, and they are a bit reluctant.

So after making an appointment, we will get together again after the year, and bring An'an and Ah Fu to go together at that time, so that everyone can restore their smiling faces.

※※※

After Hu Rongcan returned home yesterday, his whole body was like a deflated ball, and he could no longer find the spirit of the past.

The workers have been let go, and the factory is closed. At this time of the year, he has to be busy giving New Year gifts to relevant personnel, and this year he has no interest.

But if he doesn't go out, the bad news won't stop.

His cooperative enterprises notified him one by one that next year's orders would be cancelled.

The bank's related accounts also began to urge him to repay the loan. There was a sum of money that had been loaned out, and it would arrive in the account soon, and the bank took it back.

As for the copper bars and stainless steel materials he bought on credit, the other party also started to chase the money, but he didn't deal with it, and his wife dragged it all.

At night, his wife cried and asked him, what should the factory do?He also just looked at his wife blankly, unable to say an answer.

※※※

When Hu Xinlei heard about these things, she was too frightened to go back to her natal home for fear of being beaten to death by her father.

But at home here, she lived alone, and her husband never came back after the quarrel that day.She called, but he didn't even answer her call.

She wanted to talk to someone, but those girlfriends obviously knew about her family and began to avoid her.

The anger in my heart has no place to vent, but I dare not smash things in the house anymore. Now that the family has no money, it is easy to smash it, but it is difficult to buy it again.

Cheng Xuehan was living at home, and the more Wen Yue didn't come to him, the more flustered he became.

Like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced, he now only hopes for a result, no matter how difficult the result is to accept.

※※※

The husband didn't tell her the result. Mrs. Hu was very scared and didn't know what to do, so she called her natal brother in tears.

Mrs. Hu's younger brother is Huang Litao, a Chinese teacher in a high school.

After listening to his sister tell the story again, he found it incomprehensible.

Even if the niece scolded them viciously, the other party would not be able to ruthlessly kill them all. There must be something else happening that they don't know about?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Hu told the story of her son-in-law and him.

This is not enough.Because of the behavior of the other party, they completely regarded them as life and death enemies, and it is impossible for a lover after breaking up to have such deep hatred.

But he is just an ordinary teacher, and he has no ability to help his sister investigate this matter, but he thinks his thinking is right, as long as the sister's family draws a clear line with this son-in-law, and then go to accompany him, unless the other party is mentally abnormal Otherwise, it will definitely be resolved.

Mrs. Hu heard that her brother's analysis made sense, so she went to her husband and repeated what her brother said.

At first, Hu Rongcan still had his eyes closed, looking like he didn't want to live anymore, but when his wife finished speaking, he slowly sat up.

What the brother-in-law said was right. He had suspected it at the beginning. The son-in-law seemed to be hiding something from him. It was only a phone call from his daughter.

What's more, he has met Wen Yue and Xia Jiusheng, they are quite simple in temperament, just like what my brother-in-law said, they are not the kind of vicious people.

That being the case, he had no choice.

Thinking of this, he immediately called his daughter and asked her to bring her marriage certificate and other relevant documents and go back to her natal home immediately. He wanted to notify his son-in-law and let them divorce immediately.

When Hu Xinlei received a call from her father, she was very afraid of being scolded. Seeing her father's rare kindness, she asked her to go back to her natal family and divorce her husband.

For this husband, she can no longer say that she likes it very much, nor can she say she hates it, but she is even more afraid of her father's anger, so she obediently took her ID and went back to her natal home.

Hu Rongcan called his son-in-law again, asking him to bring his documents and divorce his daughter.

Cheng Xuehan was shocked when he heard that his father-in-law wanted to divorce himself, did he know what he did to Wen Yue?

Thinking it was impossible, I wanted to say soft words to make my father-in-law change his mind.

But at this moment, Hu Rongcan only wanted to survive with his own family, and didn't care about the life and death of his son-in-law. He was completely unmoved, and just urged him to come here immediately and go to the operation with his daughter.

Seeing that his father-in-law was determined, Cheng Xuehan knew that the situation was over, so he had to look for a certificate.

Wen Yue alone was enough trouble for him, he didn't dare to anger his father-in-law's family anymore, if his father-in-law broke the pot and went to investigate his past, then he wouldn't have to survive in his hometown.
