When the two returned home, Xiang Jin and her grandfather were squatting on the balcony with a pair of scissors, cutting the sweet potato leaves.

Seeing them coming back, her grandfather quickly put down the scissors in his hand and called Xiang Jin to go over and cut them. He said he was going to sow the vegetable seeds she had brought back.

"Oh, okay," Xiang Jin then remembered that she seemed to have only told them before, but forgot to get them, so she hurriedly turned around and went back to the house to get them vegetable seeds.

Yan Chen walked over and took over Xiang Jin's grandfather's previous job, and then asked Xiang Jin how many sweet potato leaves her grandfather would need to cut.

Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "Cut it in half, it will be enough for us to have a meal at night."

Yan Chen nodded.

Xiang Jin came back from fetching vegetable seeds, and then she saw that her grandfather had taken two dry branches as long as chopsticks to loosen the soil, so she asked, "Is this a tall pine tree?"

Her grandfather said, "It's so pine. The vegetables we planted before were made from soil dug out from these two branches. Look at how well those vegetables grow. Oh, this is a rental house. It's not as frugal as living in your own home."

Be frugal so you don’t have to worry about packing up things like this when you check out and move.”

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Where is my grandma? Why didn't I see her?"

Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "They are preparing dinner in the kitchen. The door is closed, so you didn't see it."

Xiang Jin was surprised, "So early? We just had lunch not long ago?"

Her grandfather said, "Anyway, she's fine. Plus, it's dark in the winter, so there's no point in cooking her earlier. By then, you'll have to study in the evening after eating."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Then let me go see if she needs help?" After saying that, she turned and left.

However, she had just taken a few steps away when she heard the sound of a loudspeaker coming from the canteen below, "Xiang Jin from Grade 3, Class 3, I'm sorry if you're here. If you are, come to the canteen to answer the phone!"

"Xiang Jin from Class 3, Grade 3, I'm sorry to hear you're here. If you're here, just come to the canteen and answer the phone!"

…

Repeating this three times, Xiang Jin stood still, then turned around and said to the two people on the balcony, "Strange, who will call me?"

The two people on the balcony also looked at her, and Xiang Jin and her grandfather smiled and said, "Who called you? You haven't made up your mind yet?"

Xiang Jin shook her head, "I really don't have any points," she counted with her fingers, "Zeng Qing?" Then she shook her head in denial, "No, no, although Zeng Qing has asked me about us before.

I have the school's phone number, but she has never called me. She has never called me before. It makes no sense to call me now.

Luo Qiuyan?" Xiang Jin then shook his head and denied, "It shouldn't be her. She hasn't called or written to me since last year. Besides, she should be at work right now, right?"

After Luo Qiuyan repeated her studies in the county for a year, she still failed to pass the exam. Later, she went out to work in coastal cities with several girls and their wives. It was said that she joined a cosmetics company, where they produced lipsticks, eyeshadows and other products.

And so on.

"Han Che? Probably not. If he wanted to call, he would have called you Yan Chen, right? Ah? I understand." Suddenly Xiang Jin thought of another person, "It should be Yang Zhao

, he has often called me before, but

Why is he calling me at this time? I'm going to answer the phone!" Xiang Jin was sure that it was Yang Zhao who called her. There was no one else except him. She analyzed a lot to herself and said something else.

After piling up, he quickly turned around and walked out of the room.

"Slow down, watch your step!" Xiang Jin's grandfather shouted at her back, but the answer was a "bang" sound of the door closing, and her grandfather immediately shook his head and laughed, "This child?!"

Yan Chen smiled slightly, but in his heart he was secretly guessing who the person who called Xiang Jin was?

It took almost an hour for Xiang Jin to come back. By this time, Yan Chen's sweet potato leaves had been cut, and her grandfather's vegetable seeds had been planted. The two were sitting in the living room playing chess.

After her grandfather took one of Yan Chen's chess pieces, he half-jokingly asked her, "Who called you and took so long to answer the phone?"

Yan Chen also looked over at her.

Xiang Jin walked up to them and said, "Your eldest grandson Ouyang Bo did it!"

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then Xiang Jin and her grandfather laughed, "Oh? So it's that kid? What did he tell you?"

"What did you say? Well, that's all. I asked about your and grandma's physical condition, about my study status, and about how often my parents and aunt come here to visit us. Then I asked him about his current situation. He

Then he told me some interesting things that happened in their school, and finally I went to collect another package."

With that said, Xiang Jin walked back to the door where the shoes were placed, picked up a package and started to unpack it.

"Who sent this package to you?" Her grandfather asked again.

Xiang Jin said, "Or is it your eldest grandson Ouyang Bo? It was because the package had been left in the mailroom for two days that he called me to ask if I had received it?"

"What did your brother mail to you?" Her grandfather asked again.

Xiang Jin said, "It seems to be some kind of clothes and food. He said he saw a girl in his school wearing this dress that looked good, and then he bought one for me, saying that I would definitely look good in it too.

When have I never looked good in clothes? I know I spend money lavishly, but I don’t know if his living expenses are enough?”

Her grandfather immediately burst out laughing, saying disgusting words about Mi Tai, but in his heart he couldn't help but care about her brother.

Xiang Jin opened the clothes and took a look. After taking a look, she raised her head to Yan Chen, "Yan Chen?!"

Yan Chen was stunned for a moment after seeing it, and then he laughed.

After her grandfather saw the interaction between the two of them, he immediately became curious, "What's wrong, you two?"

Xiang Jin put the clothes aside, and then said to her grandfather, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that we have seen this style of clothes before."

Not only have I seen it, this is basically the design draft of the two of them. It seems that Manager Huang is going to be making a lot of money this year.

Her grandfather thought they saw someone walking through it when they went back this time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

What Xiang Jin was interested in was the food that Ouyang Bo mailed to her. After she took out the two large boxes of food, she threw the cardboard boxes outside the house. She planned to go downstairs later.

She took it down and threw it away, but her grandfather yelled at her to pick it up. The reason was to remove the cover and put it on the vegetables grown on their balcony to keep warm!

So Xiang Jin went to pick it up again, and then put it on a small open space on the balcony. After that, she washed her hands, then opened the snacks Ouyang Bo bought for her and ate them.

Not to mention, Ouyang Bo can really become a food anchor in the future. His ability to taste food is quite good. Not only what he bought for her last time, but also what he bought for her this time is pretty good.

of.

"Here, you guys can try it too," Xiang Jin then opened one and handed it to her grandfather.

His grandfather refused and said, "I won't eat it. You can eat it. This is for you children. Who still eats snacks when I am such a grown-up person?"

Xiang Jin asked, "Who said that? Who said that snacks can only be eaten by children and young people, but adults and the elderly can eat them too, okay? As long as it is food, it can be eaten by anyone."

Come, eat, eat one, taste it, this one has a different taste than the one you brought back last time. This is what your eldest grandson mailed back from thousands of miles away. At least, it is my heartfelt wish.

Sometimes when someone calls you and asks if you have eaten, but you say you haven’t, that would hurt people’s self-esteem, don’t you think so?”

Her grandfather immediately laughed again, "You girl, you talk so much nonsense, okay, then I'll give it a try," and he opened his mouth and ate it.

Xiang Jin followed and opened one for Yan Chen. Yan Chen took her hand and ate it. Xiang Jin said, "I'll give one to grandma too," and then got up and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, Xiang Jin came back and asked them how it tasted. Both of them said "it's okay!"

So Xiang Jin opened another one for them, but Xiang Jin and his grandfather refused to eat it, so Xiang Jin ate it directly into his mouth. Then she opened another one for Yan Chen, and Yan Chen still

Just like before, he took her hand and ate it naturally.

"Okay, don't eat anymore, you can eat it yourself."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, it's okay to eat less. I won't eat either. I'll save my stomach for delicious food later. I just went into the kitchen and saw that grandma had prepared a lot of ingredients. It seemed like

And mutton soup.”

Xiang Jin's grandfather nodded, "There is mutton. When your parents came here a few days ago, they brought a leg of mutton. Then your grandma and I broke it into several pieces and put them in the refrigerator.

It's frozen inside, and I plan to give you mutton soup every two days."

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, this is good. Drinking mutton soup will keep you warm in winter! Oh, you said it has been cold for two days, but the snow hasn't fallen yet."

Her grandfather said, "It's going to rain in the next two days. Why, you still like it snowing?"

Xiang Jin said, "On a snowy day, drinking mutton soup is a ritual!"

Her grandfather laughed out loud again, "You girl, you are quite particular about things."

"That's right, we still have to pursue something in life. We can't just settle for eating three meals a day. We also need to improve our ideological realm and taste in life, right, Yan Chen?" Xiang Jin said to one side

He said teasingly while winking at Yan Chen.

Yan Chen looked at her with a smile, "Yes, everything you say is right!"

"Tch, perfunctory! Okay, I'm going to do the laundry," she said, then turned around and picked up the clothes Ouyang Bo sent her back and walked towards the bathroom.

But halfway through, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't even checked the size of the dress, so she quickly took out the tag inside, and after checking it, she suddenly lost interest, and then

So she walked back and asked her grandfather, "Grandpa, are there any relatives in our family who have girls who are smaller than me?"

"What's wrong, your brother bought you smaller clothes?" Her grandfather asked immediately.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, he bought me an 'S' size. With my height and weight, I must be at least a medium-large size. He bought me a small size. How should I wear it?"

Yeah? So he bought these clothes for free."

She just said that guy spent money indiscriminately. Look, he didn’t do any good with the money. Don’t blame her for dismissing him. This was too careless. When she saw other people wearing good-looking clothes, she also wore good-looking clothes without looking at them.

Does the size fit properly?

Her grandfather shook his head, "No, we have many relatives in other provinces and rural areas. We haven't been back for many years after your grandparents passed away, so how can we recognize them?"

"Then what should I do? I can't wear this dress, neither can my mother and my aunt, nor can my grandma wear it. It's impossible to mail it back to him so far away for him to change. Then the postage for this trip won't be there either.

It's so simple, so it's hard to just throw it away?" She couldn't take it back and wear it for Xiang Lan. Xiang Lan was still young, so the clothes were too big for her to wear.
