Cross-country exchange

Grandma Xia stayed at home for a few days, and when they went to the county seat, they went to Bai Village again and brought some fresh vegetables grown at home to Xie's family. Grandma Xia said she was passing by, but in fact it was I want to see big brother Xia Bing and little friend Toto.

The little guy is still growing, and sleep takes up most of his daily time.When they went, Toto was sleeping soundly in bed.

Xia Yu teased him for a long time, but Toto didn't respond. After teasing for a while, Toto's long eyelashes moved, but he still didn't wake up. After instinctively dodging left and right, he rubbed his little quilt and buried his head Keep sleeping.

"Are you still young? He slept soundly. What are you doing to him?" Aunt Xia angrily patted Xia Yu's raised hand away, and then pushed Toto's quilt away.

Xia Bing smiled and said, "Grandma, I just like Toto."

Xia Yu also found it inconceivable, there was still a trace of soft touch left on the fingertips, just such a little doll, really cute.

Aunt Xia leaned over and kissed Toto's forehead, and there was still a scent of milk on the tip of her nose.

"Grandma, the second brother's marriage has been settled, what about the third brother? Is there a suitable candidate?" Xia Bing was very worried about this. After the new year, the younger brothers are all growing up. One year old.

Marriage has always been a headache for Grandma Xia. Almost all of her buddies are over the age of marriage. If it is urgent, it must be urgent.But choosing people is not about going to the vegetable market to pick vegetables, can you choose casually?

"You, you just love to worry. It's all about being married. Just take good care of the children. I'll keep an eye on their affairs."

Grandma Xia didn't say anything more, after chatting for a few words, she asked Xia Yu to send him to the county.

Along the way, Xia Yu also wanted to ask about it.After seeing Aunt Xia staring at something lost in thought, he didn't say anything more.

The economic conditions of the family are changing little by little, and the marriage situation of the elder brothers is not quite right.The ones with a more stable family belong to his elder brother and second elder brother.

The remaining brothers...

"Grandma, when are we planning to hold the second brother's wedding?"

When proposing marriage at the beginning, Xia Yu remembered that Grandma seemed to have said that the marriage would be done this year, but she didn't say clearly about the auspicious day.

"Don't rush, things have to be dealt with one by one. I'll make a decision after I go back to review my life and talk to my in-laws."

"Ah."

Xia's Local Restaurant is still as busy as ever, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer as the days go by.After taking off their winter clothes, everyone quickly changed into lighter clothes.

Xie Yun's belly got bigger, and he couldn't wear the clothes that fit him normally, and he couldn't even put on his trousers.Xia Lei had specially made two singles and two pairs of trousers for Xie Yun earlier, and the waist was much looser.Seeing that his clothes were a little tight now, he couldn't help but took out the clothes and pants from under the box.

"Go try it on." The folds of the clothes and pants are a little obvious, obviously they have been pressed under the box for a long time.

Xie Yun felt very comfortable when he touched the material, and couldn't wait to try it on.The clothes on his body made him very uncomfortable, and he wanted to change a long time ago.

"Brother Six, you are so ingenious. I was too careless. I didn't realize that Xiaoyun's clothes are too small. This time, it's thanks to you." Xia Yu still had another piece of clothing hanging on his hand. Although he didn't know how to do needlework, However, I saw Xie Yun expend energy making clothes before, and I also know that making two clothes is not easy.

After being praised by Xia Yu, Xia Lei waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "Brothers, why are you polite. Besides, I have nothing to do to make two clothes and it doesn't take time. I also made several clothes for Toto , when you go to Baicun another day, bring it for me."

"Ah."

Xie Yun's cheeks were blushing, and he was sweating when he changed into another set of clothes, "Brother Six, Brother Xia, do I look good in this?"

Xie Yun's body is already thin, but his stomach is a little bigger.The belly of four or five months looks like six or seven months of pregnancy.Xia Lei was even more careful, and made some changes to the waistline of the clothes, as well as the trousers.

Xia Yu nodded and smoothed the clothes for him, "It looks good. Sixth brother's craftsmanship can catch up with those tailors in the county."

He originally wanted to go to the county town to order two sets of clothes for Xie Yun, but it seemed unnecessary.

Xie Yun nodded fiercely, "Sixth brother's craftsmanship is really good. In the future, sixth brother can go to the county to open a shop to make clothes for others."

Xia Lei was a little complacent when he heard them boasting about him, but when he heard that he was going to open a shop in the county, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.Who didn't know that because he was not good at handwork, he was forced by his grandma to go to the Liu family's grandma to learn craftsmanship, and then he got the needlework done.

Xia Yu nodded and agreed, "This is a good idea. I think we can discuss this matter when Grandma comes back."

Anyway, Xia's business is getting better and better, and it is more than enough to invest in a tailor shop.

Seeing that the young couple actually settled the matter without asking his client's opinion.Xia Lei immediately argued, "Stop me quickly, I'm not as good as you say, I can make a few clothes, I can open a shop, I can't do it."

Xie Yun smiled and said, "Sixth brother, don't be self-effacing. Every time I see you doing needlework, you are very serious. And this clothes are really comfortable to wear."

While they were talking, Xia Yu had already picked up the small clothes for Toto from the small box that Xia Lei was holding, and couldn't help but admire, "This clothes are really nice, if Toto sees them, he must be very happy of."

Xie Yun also went to take one, touched it twice and said, "The material of the clothes is very good, and it won't hurt the skin when children wear it. Sixth brother, the material of my clothes is the same as this one, right? Sixth brother It's really bothering me."

When the two of you said something to each other, Xia Lei almost went to heaven with praise.How could Xia Lei remember to refute the matter of opening a shop.

After Xia Lei went out, Xie Yun pulled Xia Yu back, pulled his clothes and said, "Brother Xia, the material of this clothes is so comfortable to the touch, I'm afraid it's not cheap. You go to the county someday to have a look and give it to me." Brother Six bought some."

Xia Yu nodded, took advantage of the situation and hugged him into his arms, pinched his little nose, "Understood, I'll listen to you."

Xie Yun couldn't bear the heat, so he pushed him after a while in his arms, "Brother Xia, it's too hot, you're so hot."

Xia Yu was also helpless, he didn't know what was wrong with his physique, he could be hot all over.Xie Yun was on the contrary, his body was very cold on this hot day, and it was very comfortable to hold in his arms.He said angrily, "Okay, I won't rely on you at night, so I won't be disgusted by you."

Xie Yun couldn't help tugging on his sleeve and said, "No, Brother Xia, I was just joking."

"Well, well, I won't tease you anymore."

While Xia Yu was studying how to avoid the summer heat, Xia Chun came back with bad news.

Maybe it was because of the hot weather, Grandma Xia stayed in the kitchen for a long time, her hair became dizzy, and she fell while going up the stairs, immediately injured her bone and sprained her ankle.

After Dr. Mu read it, he only said to take a good rest.

As for how long to rest, Dr. Mu didn't say clearly.

When Xia Chun came back, he looked distressed, "Grandma, he just didn't listen. Dr. Mu said that he can only lie in bed and have a good rest, but he is worried about Xia's local restaurant, and insists on cooking every day. How can I persuade you?" , I won’t listen to any persuasion. Little brother, you should go, and if you go, grandma will definitely listen to you.”

"En." Xia Yu put down what he was doing, and went to the county with Xia Chun on a donkey cart.

The sun outside was hanging high above his head, and the surrounding temperature was so scorching that it could burn people's skin. Xie Yun found two bamboo hats from nowhere, and handed them to Xia Yu, "Take this."

People who stand outside for an hour on weekdays will get dizzy, let alone rush to the county seat.

Xia Yu pushed Xie Yun into the eaves, "I'll be back soon, you go indoors and sleep for a while."

"Well, we must bring Grandma back."

Xia Yu rushed to the county without looking back.

As expected, it was almost evening when Xia Yu arrived.The door of Xia's Local Restaurant was wide open, and someone could vaguely enter the door.

Xia Yu tied the rope leading the donkey not far from the shop, and went back to the Tucai Restaurant with Xia Chun.

Downstairs is Xia Qiu who is entertaining the guests. Standing at the door, you can see the figure in the kitchen.The Xia family grandma was cooking with her back facing them.

"Little brother, you are here. Hurry up and persuade Grandma." Xia Qiu greeted and went to work again.

Xia Yu went straight to the kitchen, not knowing what method he used.Aunt Xia handed over the work at hand to him, and walked out slowly with a cane.

When there were a little less guests, Xia Yu called Xia Chun into the kitchen, "Send Grandma back first, go to the medical center, let Dr. Mu have a look, and grab some medicine to take back. Tell Xiaoyun, I may have to go back in a few days."

Xia Chun sighed, and then took Grandma Xia away.

The chef of Xia's Local Restaurant was Xia Yu, who quickly attracted the attention of the guests.The local restaurant has been open for more than half a year. Although it is not crowded, there are many regular customers.The chef's style has changed, but there are still many picky guests who have tasted it.

However, for a boy to cook, there are still some gossips.

Xia Yu's arrival made Luo Liang the happiest.

On the night when Xia's Local Restaurant closed, the family cleaned up the kitchen and hall.As usual, do the accounting and all that.

Seeing that everyone was working seriously, Xia Yu coughed a few times and suggested, "I think we must hire two chefs, otherwise the shop will be overwhelmed."

Not to mention that it is impossible for him to stay in the local restaurant as a chef for the rest of his life, even for a short period of time, he cannot stay for a long time.There is a pregnant woman and a wounded person in the family, how can he rest assured.

Besides, Grandma Xia has been helping out in the kitchen. He thought about recruiting a chef at the time, but was delayed by many things afterwards.The recruiting of the chef has been delayed again and again until now.

"Well, we need to invite two people to help." Xia Chun was the first to agree, "There are too few people in the kitchen. Before Xiaoyun was there, grandma and Xiaoyun could take turns cooking. Since Xiaoyun After pregnancy, Grandma has been in the kitchen all the time. Sometimes it’s too late for customers to order food.”

"I see that Grandma's shoulders are so sore every night. There are indeed two more people in the kitchen." Xia Qiu is also very distressed, but every time he brings it up, Grandma will always say, hire one more person, Just waste some more money.

If Grandma hadn't sprained her ankle this time, he wouldn't have had the chance to say it.

Seeing that they all agreed, Luo Liang naturally had no objection, so he laughed and said, "I can handle it upstairs, even if your third brother is not there, I can handle it upstairs and downstairs."

Xia Qiu immediately turned cold eyes and said, "What do you mean I'm not here? Don't worry, I will definitely stay in the local restaurant to help. As for my share, I won't bother you."

Luo Liang also stared and said, "Third brother, I'm just making an analogy, analogy, do you understand?"

"I don't understand, do you understand?"

Xia Yu and Xia Chun were stunned by the fierce reaction of these two people, and kept quiet rationally.

The next day, a recruitment notice appeared at the door of Xia's Local Restaurant.For a while, more people stopped outside the door.

Some people even took the initiative to ask, including the content of the job, working hours, and so on.

At the end of the day, several people still came to the door to apply for the head chef.

Xia Yu asked them to come to the store the next afternoon.

On that day, Xia Yu arranged all the materials in the kitchen and waited for their arrival.

Rather than testing them, Xia Yu asked them to cook him a dish, a very simple dish.

With potatoes as the theme, make a more delicious dish.

There were five people participating in the test, and Xia Yu arranged for them to come one by one. Although there were two main seats in the kitchen, he watched from the side.

As a result, Xia Yu tried every dish one by one, and invited him back without being satisfied.

Xia Qiu loves to eat, and every time Xia Yu tastes a dish, he also eats some.

After everyone left, he was full of doubts and said, "In fact, every dish is okay, why are you dissatisfied, little brother?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Actually, everyone in our family cooks good dishes, and they can all be eaten. But if a restaurant wants to continue to operate, it's not good to be so particular."

Xia Qiuman was confused, and he didn't know whether he understood or not.

The next day, the recruitment information was still hanging at the door, but as Xia Yu refused again and again, fewer and fewer people were recruited.In the end, I didn't see a single person applying for the job for several days.

Xia Yu was not in a hurry, and helped out at the local restaurant in a leisurely manner, but Xia Chun couldn't help but muttered, "Little brother, you didn't mean to make things difficult for them, did you?"

Xia Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Second Brother, in fact, even if I'm not here to help, you can still cook."

Xia Chun immediately backed away, "Little brother, don't make fun of me, don't you know that the dishes I cook and so on, compared with yours, they can't be eaten at all."

Xia Yu also knew their doubts, so it was rare to explain, "Actually, I want to find an experienced chef, at least he has his own special cooking skills. Our restaurant can only continue to operate if we have signature dishes. "

He also set up several checkpoints for the test.There are many people who have passed the first level, but he asked them to create their own dish, but none of them satisfied him.

This is why he rejects them.

Xia Chun nodded understandingly, "You want them to create a dish that no one else has ever eaten, is that so?"

Xia Yu smiled.

It is said that Xia Yu is busy recruiting chefs here, but the Xia family in Hexi Village is idle and boring. Although Grandma Xia is recuperating at home, saying that it is recuperating, he still does not listen to the doctor's advice and lies on the bed. After getting the crutches, He was busy, and the injured leg didn't seem to hinder him.

"Grandma, drink some water." With a big belly, Xie Yun came towards Grandma Xia with a glass of water.

Aunt Xia immediately stood up in shock, leaning on her crutches and hopped over the water glass, "What are you doing, I just injured my foot, not disabled anymore. Just take good care of yourself and don't worry me .”

Although the tone was reproachful, Grandma looked at Xie Yun with a smile on her face.

Seeing that there was still a calendar spread out on the table, Xie Yun couldn't help asking curiously, "Grandma, what are you looking at?"

Everyone in the Xia family was illiterate. Xie Yun had learned a few things from Xia Yu, but he couldn't read them either.

Aunt Xia sat down and said, "Let me see if there are any good days recently."

Good day?Xie Yun was at a loss. For him, every day is a good day.

"Grandma, have you ever visited Brother Xia Bing and Toto?" Several months have passed since seeing Toto, and Xie Yun has always been thinking about that little guy who was hugged softly.

While looking for a better day, Aunt Xia replied, "I haven't seen it for a long time, but I heard from your elder brother that Toto will toss and turn on the bed now, which is very funny."

Xie Yun thought about that scene, and couldn't help but find it amusing.I am even more convinced that I will have more children, so that the family will be much more lively.

"I think this is not bad. The eighth day of the next month is a good day." Grandma Xia is thinking about Xia Chun's marriage. After Xia Chun gets married, she will be the third child.

"Hey, what are you going to do, grandma?" Xie Yun asked belatedly.

"Choose a good day. It's time to marry your second elder brother. If you stay here and there, it's almost a worry."

Xie Yun choked, and was hit by Grandma Xia's disgusted look.It is estimated that when he got married, his grandma was also looking forward to it.

Aunt Xia has always been vigorous and decisive in her work, and after choosing a day, she discussed it with her family members on the same day.

Xia Dong and Xia Lei have never had any opinions, and Aunt Xia will not refute Aunt Xia's decision.So after Grandma Xia proposed it, everyone approved it unanimously.

"Since we've settled on this matter, we have to ask our in-laws next." Aunt Xia said to herself.

Xie Yun opened his mouth, wanting to remind Grandma, do you want to ask the second brother's opinion...

Aunt Xia said to Xia Dong, "You should go to your in-laws with Xia Lei tomorrow, ask them to come, and talk about your second brother's marriage."

Xia Dong looked blank, "Grandma, I don't know where they live."

Grandma Xia struggled for a while, "How about this, fourth brother, you can send me to the Chen family tomorrow, and there is only one Grandma of the Chen family in their house, so it's not very convenient to come."

The whole family was stunned. How could they take the initiative to talk to others about this matter? They don't have to rush to get married.

Xia Lei ate in silence, but couldn't stand his grandma's attitude.

"Grandma, it shouldn't be that we are eager to get together. From the perspective of others, we think that our second elder brother can't get married. I think it's more appropriate for the younger brother to invite people from their family."

Xia Lei's words reminded Grandma Xia that he felt that he was too anxious, and as soon as the passion of marrying his brother was over, he immediately ordered, "Fourth brother, you go to the county tomorrow and let your little brother Go for a run yourself."

Xia Dong nodded, "Okay."

The next day, Xia Dong also secretly told Xia Yu what Grandma Xia had ordered.

Xia Yu took the time to go to Chen's house that night.

As soon as the Chen family heard that Grandma Xia had injured her leg, they hurriedly brought gifts and went to Xia's house. First, they came to visit Grandma Xia, and second, they naturally had important matters to discuss.

Grandma Xia and Grandma Chen made some calculations, and finally set the date on the eighth day of the next month, which is easy to marry.

Thus, the marriage between Chen Jinsuo and Xia Chun was settled in such a hurry.

And the parties are still ignorant.
