Chapter 662: Returning to the Gate 3
The third day after the wedding, the bride and groom return to the bride's family to visit and thank their parents-in-law for their hard work.
Sister Yun married from the Hong family, so naturally she would go back to her parents’ home, the Hong family.
When Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er walked ten meters away from Hong's house with the generous gifts, they saw a fat figure.
You can guess it’s Da Pangpang by using your toes and fingers.
When Big Fatty saw Yun Jie'er and Sun Shan, he immediately ran over and shouted, "Big sister, you're back. Hey, let me take a look. Hey, you've lost weight."
Not only Sun Shan thought that Fatty was rude, but Yun Jie'er felt the same way.
It's embarrassing for a man to be shouting in the street like a little daughter-in-law.
Sister Yun quickly pulled Da Pangpang into the Hong residence.
Sun Shan greeted Uncle Hong, who looked at him with satisfaction and said happily, "Ah Shan, you are here. Well, now that you are married, your father will be relieved."
Sun Shan quickly asked, "Uncle Hong, are the teacher and his wife here?"
Sun Shan was just making small talk. When he returned home today, apart from natural disasters and man-made calamities, Mr. Hong was everywhere.
Uncle Hong said with a smile, "Yes, I got up early in the morning and waited for you to come back. Last night, the teacher arranged to go to the market to buy food this morning to entertain you, the son-in-law who returned home."
Sun Shan said happily, "Uncle Hong, I'm in for a treat today."
Uncle Hong led Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er into the reception room, only to see Mr. Hong and his wife sitting in the hall.
As for Hong Dalang, Hong Erlang, Jianzi and others, they were not there. I heard that they had returned to Zhangzhou Prefecture yesterday.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er hurriedly greeted Hong Xiucai and others.
Hong Xiucai said happily: "It's good that you are here."
The master's wife looked at Sun Shan, then at Yun Jie'er. Although the two were not a good match, they had been childhood sweethearts, which was better than the average couple suddenly becoming husband and wife.
Just a brief observation will give you a sense of their harmony.
When the master's wife thought of this, she became even happier. As long as the husband and wife were in harmony, they would have fewer worries, and Sun Shan would not be delayed in his studies because of family problems.
The crow's feet on the master's wife's face made her smile even deeper and she said, "Today I went to the market and bought half a lamb, and stewed some coconut and papaya lamb soup. In the early winter, it's best to eat lamb soup, which is nourishing and can remove dryness." Papaya and Coconut Lamb Soup Yun Jie'er's eyes sparkled, and she wanted to nod and say yes, but this is Huangyang County, not Hejia Village, so she had to be reserved.
I had to try to act shy and smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples: "Master's wife, you are right, mutton soup is good, it warms the middle and dispels the cold, and is most suitable for early winter."
Sun Shan didn't like mutton, as he always thought it had a strong smell. But no matter how bad the stew made by his master's wife tasted, he would pretend it was delicious.
He said with a smile: "Master's wife, mutton is not common, how did you buy it?"
The meat varieties in Huangyang County are relatively monotonous. Apart from pork, there are only chicken, duck, goose, and river fish.
As for mutton and seafood, they are only seen during non-major festivals and are not common on other days.
Of course, beef is even rarer. From birth to adulthood, Sun Shan had only eaten beef once in Huangyang County, and that was when a large water buffalo from the neighboring village died of illness. Su and Sun Boming heard that beef was good, so they bought a piece and cooked it for Sun Shan.
After Sun Shan finished eating the beef, he remembered to ask why there was beef.
Sun Bomin and Su said calmly that the cows had died of illness, so they had the stock to sell.
That night Sun Shan couldn't sleep the whole night. He tossed and turned, fearing that the cow had died of mad cow disease. If he ate the beef, he would be infected and die.
Fortunately, the big fungus ate the small fungus and everything was safe.
From then on, whenever he encountered unusual food, Sun Shan would always ask questions, for fear that he would eat something he shouldn't.
Especially in rural areas, even if the chickens, ducks and geese are infected with diseases, they are reluctant to throw them away and will pick up the infected chickens to eat.
The master's wife smiled and said, "I went to the market early today and happened to see it. It was freshly slaughtered and sold. I haven't eaten mutton for a long time, so I bought half and brought it back. I will drink mutton soup and eat mutton stew later."
Sister Yun's eyes sparkled even more after hearing this, and she couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to take a look at the fresh and hot mutton.
Sun Shan said happily, "Master's wife, you are so kind. You specially prepared food for us early in the morning. Thank you for your hard work."
So Sun Shan, Yun Jie'er and the master's wife turned their conversation to food.
He Shuqiang next to them wanted to join the trio, but as the eldest son of the He family, he had to remain reserved and not reveal his nature as a foodie.
The first one to show impatience was Hong Xiucai. He waved his hand and interrupted, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about food. What is there to talk about? It will be clear when the food is served."
He winked at his wife and said to Sun Shan, "Ashan, come in with me. I need to check your studies and see if you have forgotten to study recently."
As Hong Xiucai's bedmate for decades, Master's wife immediately understood and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you talk to your brother and sister-in-law. I will also go to the kitchen to take a look. It's time to prepare."
After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen. Mr. Hong also carried Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er to the study.
The only people left in the hall were Yun Jie'er, He Shujun and his wife, and He Shuqiang.
Mr. Hong specially made time to have a good talk with Yun Jie'er and her family.
Because He Shuqiang's wife was pregnant, He Shujun's wife had to come along to see him off.
Seeing Sister Yun combing her hair into a lady's bun, he was filled with emotion. He took Sister Yun's chubby hand and asked with concern, "Sister Yun, tell us honestly, how is the Sun family? Did they embarrass you? Is the son-in-law good to you? How do the elders of his family treat you? Did they give you any warning?"
Yun Jieer didn't know which one to answer for the series of questions, so she lowered her head and said with a blushing face, "Sister-in-law, the Sun family is very good. Brother Shan treats me well, and my grandmother and my parents-in-law are also kind. I am doing very well in Sunjia Village."
Every word he said was good, but He Shujun's wife didn't quite believe it.
How can a new bride who has just arrived at her husband's house say everything is good, especially since it is a rural area?
Sister Yun is a city girl, I don’t know if she is suitable?
Alas, marrying Sun Shan was a helpless move. Fortunately, Sun Shan bought a house in the city, opposite Hejia Village, so the He family felt more at ease.
He Shujun's wife continued to ask: "Sister Yun, are you used to Sunjia Village? If there is anything you are not used to, please tell us. Your father and mother are worried about you. They don't know if you are doing well. Is the Sun family doing well?"
Yun Jieer raised her head and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, and the Sun family is also fine. Tell my father and mother not to worry about me. Brother Shan treats me very well, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are even more kind. Grandma is also kind. Except that the surroundings are a little unfamiliar, everything else is fine."
When Big Fatty saw Big Sister, he said this was good, that was good, everything was good, there was nothing bad.
She said this but felt uneasy: "Big sister, how come everything is fine? Did Brother Shan tell you to say that?"
Sister Yun couldn't let her family misunderstand Sun Shan, so she said anxiously, "Brother, Brother Shan is not that kind of person. You grew up together, so you must know Brother Shan well."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother, I feel pretty good in Sunjia Village. Except for the fact that it's very tiring to walk out and climb the mountain, everything else is pretty good."
