Chapter 166 Grandparents’ first business
Ning Caiyun felt that Hu Lijuan looked familiar, so she made a bold guess. Ji Donglai explained while taking off his coat. Hu Lijuan's kick was neither light nor heavy, and Ji Donglai had no time to hide.
"Ah, my child has changed so much! Come and sit down. This kid is from the south. Come and try our northern cuisine..."
Ning Caiyun was overjoyed to find out that it was her son's classmate, and she just treated her as her prospective daughter-in-law.
The young people gathered at two tables, ranked according to their age. Ji Donglai, Wang Jue, Hu Lijuan, Yang Xue and another couple gathered at a table.
The remaining ones who were too young were all taken by their parents and grandfathers. As Ji Heng announced that the party was about to begin, the table became eager.
Hu Lijuan is very familiar with northern cuisine. As a Shanghainese, Yang Xue is not only curious but also surprised when eating Northeastern cuisine, especially the amount of home-cooked dishes.
Ning Caiyun and other housewives all cooked according to the habits of northerners. Seeing that Yang Xue didn't have much to eat, they quickly ordered two more Yangzhou dishes.
"Your family is so enthusiastic. The city over here is so deserted during the Chinese New Year. Everyone lives in the building and they just watch TV during the Chinese New Year. It's so uncomfortable!"
Yang Xue sat diagonally across from Ji Donglai, looking at the reception received by Ji Donglai's family, and felt very moved.
The other party is a typical Wu Nong soft-spoken person, and when he speaks, he is the laughing matter at the table.
"Yang Xue, when you came to our place, didn't you notice that our place is very different from yours in Shanghai?"
After taking a sip of beer, Ji Donglai tricked Hu Lijuan into pouring a glass, but Hu Lijuan's murderous gaze almost penetrated her.
"Of course there are many differences. The cannon at the temple fair I saw this morning scared me to death. You know..."
Yang Xue heard the difference and immediately began to describe it vividly. Ji Donglai turned his eyes to Hu Lijuan, and Hu Lijuan covered her mouth and smiled.
"We just walked to the popcorn converter, and the popcorn stove turned on. With a bang, Yang Xue almost fell to the ground, gurgling..."
Talking about Yang Xue's miserable situation at the temple fair, Hu Lijuan couldn't help it, and Yang Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"It's very different over there. We also have popcorn, but it's an open iron pot with cooking oil in it, and then there's a handle on it that you turn to make a pot! It's the first time I've seen this kind of popcorn.
It's like shooting off a cannon, so scary..."
Yang Xue acted exaggeratedly, and everyone at the party listened quietly, making the whole family laugh.
Ji Zhong occasionally laughed once or twice, but looking at Hu Lijuan next to Ji Donglai, her face never looked good.
As soon as we finished talking about Ji Dong coming there to find a partner, he immediately took her back, not one, but two. What do you call this? What a slap in the face!
"Hey, if Yang Xue didn't tell me, I forgot. My grandpa has a story about this popcorn machine...Grandpa, can I tell it?"
Looking at Yang Xue telling stories vividly and in a lively atmosphere at the table, Ji Donglai suddenly remembered something about Ji Heng. Ji Heng was holding a wine glass and turned around when he heard Ji Dong tell his story.
"You brat, I still want to bury your grandfather during the Chinese New Year, tell me, it's okay, my face is thicker than the soles of my shoes!"
As Ji Heng put down his wine glass, everyone at the table except the children pricked up their ears to listen. Yang Xue and Hu Lijuan also quickly put down their chopsticks and urged Ji Dong to come. Wang Jue didn't listen either.
"In the past 70 years or so, my grandfather's factory was not performing well..."
The core content of the story is very simple. Ji Heng's township factory is not performing well! He has three days off and four days off, so Ji Heng and his wife discuss doing some business! There happened to be a worker who had this popcorn machine at home, so the two of them went around the town together.
Popcorn.
At that time, people in the village were very poor, and the sacks used to carry things were all patched and patched. For the first business, an old farmer came over to get a sack like that.
When the pressure of the popcorn pressure cooker reached, Ji Heng put his bag on the outlet of the boiler and then hammered it down. The pressure inside the pot flushed out all the popcorn bullets.
It turned out that the sacks at that store were so badly damaged that the bottom of the sacks disappeared immediately, and the popcorn was everywhere on the street.
Not to mention, Ji Heng didn't step on the popcorn boiler, and the boiler rocketed along the street.
"My grandfather was very handsome at that time. He stepped on the void with one foot and held the lever for opening the door in the other hand. He was like the horse stepping on the flying swallow. He landed on one foot and everyone around him was dumbfounded..."
Ji Donglai spoke vividly, and everyone at the table, especially the group led by Yang Xue, including Wang Jue, burst out laughing when they heard Ji Donglai describe Ji Heng's horse riding on a flying swallow.
Even Ji Donglai's aunt's family members were laughing so hard that Ji Heng was embarrassed for a while. Only Ji Heng's grandma didn't hear what was said clearly, but she laughed along with everyone else.
Ning Caiyun laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh. Ji Ping's face turned red at this time, because Ji Ping told Ji Donglai about this incident. He didn't dare to laugh at this time and was holding it in so hard that he almost suffered internal injuries.
"Hahaha... what happened next, what happened next? Did your family lose money? Gig... I laughed so hard, my stomach hurts, Hu Lijuan, your classmate is so funny!"
Yang Xue finally straightened up and pointed at Ji Donglai and Hu Lijuan to urge them. Hu Lijuan also straightened up with great effort and urged Ji Donglai to continue.
"Later it was said that my grandpa married a good wife, and my grandma was standing next to him! Wasn't my grandpa posing on the horse riding a flying swallow? My grandma screamed, hurry up, chase the popcorn,
I’m chasing the pot!”
"Hahaha……"
Now the people at the table couldn't hold it in any longer. Even Ji Ping slapped his thigh at this time, because the last sentence was made by Ji Dong and was not mentioned when Ji Ping said it.
The whole table was laughing. The old lady and Ji Heng were also supporting each other and laughing.
"Oh my god, I will never come to your house again. I'm almost laughing to death! Grandpa, you tell the next story. If Ji Donglai continues to tell it, my belly will burst!"
Yang Xue held her stomach, hurriedly ran to Ji Heng's side, and took Ji Heng's arm to express that she still wanted to hear the next story.
"Whatever I say, let my old lady say it. What, my daughter wants to hear us popping popcorn, it's the time you chased the pot and I chased the popcorn, hahaha..."
Ji Heng couldn't hold it in any longer at this time. He thought to himself that his eldest grandson was definitely a talent. He didn't find it so interesting back then, but it makes him happy to think about it now.
"Ah, that's enough! I'm telling you, listen, your dad was a loser when he was young! I ran for two miles after the pot and didn't come back for an hour. Your dad didn't look for me if he didn't
!That big-hearted person should never look for a man like your father..."
