Reborn 1980: Marry a rough soldier

Xia Jin ran to them and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want us to go eat first?" Xia Jin thought that if they were so frugal, they would think the food on the train was expensive, and they might not be willing to spend money to buy lunch.

Grandpa Xia said: "No, we ate on the train. Let's go home first. Business is more important."

Xia Jin: "...Then let's all go back and have a rest first. After riding in the car for so long, we can wait until tomorrow."

"If you're not tired, what's the point? I'm just sitting there and doing nothing."

"Yes, Xiaojin, we are not tired."

"I'll go and vent my anger on you first."

Xia Jin: "Let's wait until tomorrow. When we return to the county, it will be almost dark. Besides, their whole family will be at home tomorrow and Sunday."

Grandpa Xia: "Then I listen to you. Let's go and go home first."

Xia Jin took them out to take the bus to the public station. Originally, they wanted to walk there because they didn't want to spend more money, but Xia Jin pretended to be pitiful and said that she couldn't walk anymore, so Grandpa Xia and the others gave up the idea.

It was almost six o'clock when they arrived in Lian County. Xia Jin took them back to the small courtyard he rented for them and put their things away before preparing to take them out for dinner.

Xia's father and others entered the small courtyard that Xia Jin rented for them, looked at the environment inside and said, "Xiao Jin, don't you live here? In fact, we can just build a floor in your house, and there is no need to rent a new house for us."

"It's okay, dad, you can live there, it's not expensive. Besides, my yard is small, and you guys can't live there even with a bunk bed on the floor. But it's quite close to my house, so if you need anything, just come to me."

The Xia family has lived through hard times. Looking at this house, they feel that the accommodation conditions are really good. They still live in an adobe house. In the countryside, only large tile houses are built if the conditions are good.

Grandpa Xia also wanted Xia Jin to return the house and find a smaller one for them to live in, so as to save money. Xia Jin had no choice but to make a well-intentioned joke and said, "I have signed the contract for the house here, grandpa." We have signed a contract with them, but if we return it, not only will we not be able to get back the rent, but we will also have to pay them an additional amount of money."

"Besides, it's not easy to rent a house here. If you want to find another one, it won't be so convenient. It's so close to my home and the public security is good. If anything happens to me, you can get there in time. "

When Grandpa Xia heard that he would give more money to others if he returned the house, he immediately gave up the idea. His granddaughter had already rented the house and had no choice but to live in it. There were nine people, two to a room, and one person living alone in the wing room outside. .

In the end, Uncle Xia and his aunt lived in one room, Father Xia and Grandpa Xia lived in one room, Aunt Xia and his daughter lived in one room, the two cousins ​​lived in one room, and the cousin lived in one room by himself. After all arrangements were made, he put all his things in one room. Put it in your room.

Xia Jin watched them discuss it and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."

Aunt Xia heard that she wanted to cook the meal herself, but she saw that there was nothing here except the pot, and the steamed buns they brought were almost eaten. They didn't know where to buy food on their first day here, so they had no choice but to follow Xia Jin. .

Xia Jin originally wanted to take them to a restaurant, but thinking about their personalities, if they went to a restaurant, they would definitely refuse to order this and that. If he wanted to order, they would definitely stop him, so that everyone would not have a happy meal.

Finally, after much deliberation, I decided to take them to eat hot pot. First, it was convenient for me to have a restaurant where I could secretly ask the waiter to serve the food. Another reason was that I wanted them to try something they had never eaten before.

Xia Jin took everyone to the department store. This was just the time for everyone to go out for a walk after eating. There were many restaurants there, so there were many people coming and going outside the department store.

It was the first time that the Xia family came here and they were very afraid of getting lost. After all, the east, west, and west were not yet clear at this time. What would they do if they got lost, so they followed Xia Jin closely.

When Xia Jin and the others arrived at the store, although the peak period had passed, there were still a lot of people. After all, it is common to eat hot pot for two or three hours.

As soon as Xia Jin entered the door, the waiter saw him and shouted: "Boss is here for dinner."

Xia Jin nodded and pointed to the Xia family behind him and said, "This is from my dad's side. Please arrange two tables for us. Serve one portion of meat and vegetables, and use one red oil and one bone broth at the bottom of the pot."

"Okay, you guys follow me here."

Grandpa Xia and the others originally thought that Xia Jin would take them to a restaurant. They resisted at first and stood at the door of the store, feeling at a loss. Later, when they heard someone inside calling "Boss Xia Jin", they hesitantly entered the house.

After talking to the waiter, Xia Jin turned around and said, "Grandpa, Dad, I asked them to open two tables. It's inconvenient for us to have one more table."

Grandpa Xia said that they could do whatever Xia Jin arranged for them. If they didn’t sit together, there was nothing wrong with them. When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, they would share several tables.

Grandpa Xia went in first. The people behind him saw Grandpa Xia coming in and followed him. They followed the waiter to the two innermost tables and sat down separately. There was one table for the juniors and one table for the adults. Originally, Xia Xia Jin should have gone to her cousin's table, but there were many people at that table, so Xia Jin had to sit at Xia's father's table.

It was just right for Xia's father, Grandpa Xia, to see her more. After all, she didn't want other people to be around her all day, so Xia Jin could see her. It was not easy for a few people to be so far away from each other.

Aunt Xia asked Xia Jin curiously: "Xiao Jin, why is this on the table like this? What is hot pot? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"Mom, that's the pot in the middle. Didn't you see when you came in? There is a pot on someone's table. Put things in the pot to boil."

Xia Jin said with a smile: "Hot pot means putting the meat and vegetables together in the pot and boiling them before eating. You choose the vegetables and boil them yourself. You also need to prepare the dipping saucer yourself. The ingredients are there. You can go and take a look. , according to your own taste.”

Aunt Xia heard what Xia Jin said and said, "It's really interesting. I don't like to eat cooked food, but I like to make it myself."

"The taste is different. You can't get it from stir-frying. Grandpa, are you going to make some dipping sauce? Let's go together."

"Okay, my old man has never eaten any of them. Please teach me how to adjust them."

"it is good."

The group of people followed Xia Jin to the condiment area to make the dipping sauce. Xia Jin introduced them one by one what it was. Everyone's taste is different, so they still have to make this kind of stuff by themselves.

When each of them came back with a bowl of ingredients, the pot was also up and it was boiling. The butter had not yet melted.They waited for the food to be served and the pot to boil.

The dishes were served and the pot was opened. There were many dishes that they had never seen before. Xia Jin demonstrated and explained them one by one. After they learned everything, they started to eat. Xia Jin looked at everyone and was sweating profusely. The chopsticks are still reaching into the spicy pot.
