Chapter 31 Departure
Around eight o'clock in the evening, my uncle's family also came back with grandma.
Among Jiang's three brothers and sisters, except Jiang's father who gave birth to three children in the countryside, both his aunt and brother-in-law only gave birth to one son.
My uncle's son is named Jiang Yu. He is three years younger than Jiang Feng and has just finished his freshman year.
Obviously Jiang Yu had heard from his parents about Jiang Feng's cousin's glorious record as a matchmaker. As soon as he came back, he pestered Jiang Feng with questions. People who didn't know thought he was going to drop out of school to become a matchmaker!
The fathers sat together, and the conversation basically focused on Jiang Feng and Cui Yuan.
There is no need to mention Jiang Feng. In less than a month after returning from college, he made tens of thousands in cash and gifts worth more than ten thousand, and he earned it as a matchmaker. Which relative would not comment on it after hearing this?
!
As for Cui Yuan, he brought his girlfriend back with him, which is also a natural topic, so he was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.
After Liu Yan and Jiang Feng came back from buying sour ingredients, they followed Jiang Feng's advice and went back to the room to rest on the pretext that they felt uncomfortable. In short, they tried their best to avoid contact with Cui Yuan and would have a showdown with him tomorrow after returning to Shenzhen City.
That night, because their aunt came back for the first time to celebrate July 14th, the three brothers and sisters, who had not seen each other for many years, chatted until about one o'clock in the morning before going back to sleep.
…
The next day.
The fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the legendary Ghost Festival.
Every household in Longshan Village is killing ducks to worship their ancestors.
As for why we eat duck on Ghost Festival, there is a very interesting saying here. It is said that on July 14th, our ancestors wanted to come back to visit relatives, but when they arrived at Naihe Bridge, they found that there was no boat and they could not cross the river.
So, people in the human world sent some ducks down that day and asked the ducks to swim and bring them back.
Of course, this kind of myth-filled legend is not true. In fact, the closest thing to the truth is that ducks in this season are fat and full of meat, which is the most delicious time, so everyone kills ducks for the festival.
, and then passed down from generation to generation, forming today’s customs and habits.
The festival time here in Qinghe Town is noon. After killing the duck to worship the ancestors, they start cooking lunch.
Jiang Feng's family killed two ducks, both of which were large ducks weighing about ten kilograms. In previous years, even if my uncle's family came back on July 14th, killing one duck would be enough to eat.
But this year, my aunt and the others were also there, so Jiang's mother generously killed two ducks.
These are native ducks raised by Jiang Mu herself, and the taste is not comparable to the feed ducks sold outside.
In Longshan Village, there are generally four common ways to prepare ducks:
1. Blanched duck.
Second, cook duck porridge.
Three, stir-fried duck with shredded ginger.
Fourth, refreshing and refreshing stewed duck soup.
Except for the duck porridge, which was not cooked today, the Jiang family has arranged three other methods.
The taste is really known to everyone who eats it. Even Cui Yuan, a rich second generation, was full of praise for it. The meaty aroma coming from the raw materials is something that even the chef can't bring out with seasonings.
The wine I drank at noon was the only remaining bottle of Maotai worth more than 3,000 yuan. My uncle's family was close to each other and I could see him often, but my aunt married far away and it was a rare occasion. Plus it was the holidays, so Jiang Feng naturally wanted to take it.
Serve with the best wine.
After lunch, Liu Yan said goodbye and said: "Grandma, uncles, aunts, uncles and cousins, I have some things to deal with at home, so I will go back first. Thank you for your warm hospitality.
If you arrive in Shenzhen City one day, remember to call me and I will pick you up!"
"Xiaoyan, why are you going back all of a sudden? Are you not used to our life in the countryside?"
"Yes, Xiaoyan, why are you going back all of a sudden? If you come here only once, stay a few more days!"
"If it's not an urgent matter, just go back and deal with it in a few days!"
Upon hearing Liu Yan's farewell, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, brother-in-law, aunt and others all expressed their wishes to stay.
Jiang Chunlian was a little surprised when she heard this. Before she came, she had agreed to stay for a few days before returning. Now that Liu Yan suddenly asked to go back, she was really unprepared.
Previously, Liu Yan prevented Cui Yuan from drinking, and informed him of the news that he was going back. Therefore, except for Jiang Feng, the instigator, Cui Yuan was the only one who knew in advance that Liu Yan was going back early.
Now seeing that his two uncles and two aunts were trying to persuade him to stay, Cui Yuan helped and said: "Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, Xiaoyan really has something to go back to deal with at home, and the matter is quite urgent, so we just
You can go back first."
Jiang Chunlian rarely returns to her parents' home. She originally wanted to stay a few more days before returning, but now she suddenly has to go back early. She feels a little melancholy. After all, she doesn't know when she will come back next time.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng interjected: "Since Sister Yan has something to do at home, cousin, please send Sister Yan back first! Auntie, it's rare for you to come back once, so stay here for a few more days. When you want to go back, you can come with me."
Say, I’ll take you back!”
Jiang Chunlian was a little moved when she heard this, but she still shook her head and refused: "Forget it, Xiaofeng, that's too much trouble. I'd better go back with your cousin and the others!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "What's the trouble? It just so happens that I also want to go to Shenzhen City to have fun during this time!"
Jiang Yonggui said: "Sister, you haven't been back for several years. Since Xiaofeng said so, then you can stay and play for a few more days!"
Cui Yuan naturally understood his mother's thoughts, so he also advised him: "Mom, then you can stay for a few more days, and I will just send Xiaoyan back by myself!"
"Okay, then Xiaoyuan, you and Xiaoyan go back first, I will come back in a few days." Seeing this, Jiang Chunlian no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed, and then told Cui Yuan to pay attention to safety when driving, not to drive fatigued, and drive in when tired.
Rest in the service area, etc.
The elders, including grandma, began to give Liu Yan red envelopes. This is also a custom in Qinghe Town. When a junior brings his girlfriend back for the first time, the elders usually give red envelopes when leaving.
Liu Yan was naturally embarrassed to take these red envelopes, but the elders were adamant and refused to accept them, so she could only accept them with an embarrassed look.
After ten minutes of this, the car officially started and left.
After seeing the car go away, Jiang Feng secretly sighed. From the matching information, it can be seen that Liu Yan is actually a very good woman. If the blood relationship is excluded, the matching value between the two will be less than 80 points, at least.
There are also scores of 75 or above.
It's a pity that there is no if, this kind of ultra-low probability thing happened to her, it must have been a big blow to her, right?
After sending my aunt back to Shenzhen City in a few days, I will help her search for a high-matching partner so that she can get out of this bad relationship as soon as possible. This will be a good thing for both her and her cousin.
