"I will do well in the exam."

His sister and brother are all in Beijing.

He must also go to Beijing.

"Brother, what's delicious?"

Zhao Yunhai actually knew this. He took the cup of water handed over by Zhao Yun and drank while saying, "Roast duck, my brother-in-law also took me to eat steak, crab, shrimp, hairtail, small yellow croaker, fried noodles with soybean paste, etc."

"Steak? Can we still eat beef?"

Zhao Yunhai nodded, "It's beef."

"Is it tasty?"

Zhao Yunhai thought for a moment, "The black pepper steak tastes good."

"Brother, does the crab taste good?"

They have moved stones by the river to catch crabs, but how big were they?

Can it be delicious?

"Sea crab, hairy crab."

Zhao Yunhai changed the subject and said, "You can only eat these if you pass the exam to go to Jing City. There are seafood, and you can also go fishing."

Catch the sea?

seafood?

Zhao Yunfeng suddenly felt that he was so ignorant.

"Is that hairy crab big?"

Zhao Yunhai nodded. "There are big crabs and small ones. The big ones can weigh several taels, and the small ones can weigh only one or two taels. Grandma steams them, and they taste sweet. You can also dip them in chili sauce. As for hairy crabs, they have a lot of crab roe, and each one can weigh three or four taels."

Crab?

It’s still sweet.

This made Zhao Yunfeng even more interested.

Two brothers, one speaks and the other listens.

When Zhao Aimin and Li Wanrong came back and saw Zhao Yunhai, they were stunned.

"Xiao Hai..."

“Dad, Mom…”

Zhao Aimin looked at Zhao Yunhai and said, "Why do I feel like you've grown a lot taller?"

The immaturity on his face has faded a little, and he looks much more mature.

"I've grown a lot taller and eat a lot. In Beijing, I usually eat steamed buns."

This Zhao Yunhai did not lie.

In Beijing, more people eat steamed buns and noodles than rice.

Even in the cafeteria, if you go too late, there is no rice, only steamed buns.

After hearing this, the other three people looked at each other and a question popped up in their minds: Can eating steamed buns help you grow taller?

Haven't heard of this.

"Brother, are the people in Jing City taller than those here?"

Zhao Yunhai nodded in response to this question. "Indeed, they are generally taller than the people here, but there are also some who are shorter."

"Xiao Hai, have your sister and the others returned with you?"

Although Zhao Aimin is now the director of the machinery factory and even kicked Deputy Director Zhang out of the factory, he still values ​​his niece very much and can chat with him.

"I'm busy and don't have time to come back for the time being."

Zhao Aimin smiled meaningfully. The last time Xiaohai wrote back, he let the secret slip.

My niece is only a freshman in college and she has already started working in a research institute.

"I'll go cook." When her son came back, Li Wanrong wanted to make something delicious for him.

I haven't seen my son for nearly a year.

There are two pieces of bacon at home now.

Cut a piece and stir-fry it.

"Xiao Feng, go do your homework."

Zhao Aimin sent his younger son to do his homework, and he took his older son Zhao Yunhai into the house.

He closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Did your sister go into that place to work?"

"Dad, it's fine as long as we know what's going on. Besides, my sister has already graduated from college."

What?

Have you graduated from college?

"Isn't he just a freshman?"

How did you graduate from college?

"She graduated early from college. I heard grandma mention that her salary is higher than yours."

Salary higher than his?

Zhao Aimin was not surprised by this.

He knew his niece's abilities.

You can earn a lot without having to go to work in a regular manner.

But now I only earn that little after working in a research institute for a month.

But this one is an honor.

"Dad, what else do you want to ask?"

Zhao Aimin sighed and said, "Let's go out and talk."

Since it has been confirmed that my niece has really started working at the research institute, this matter will be a secret. The fewer people who know about it, the safer Nini will be.

"Are your grandparents used to living in Beijing?"

Although Zhao Aimin was the factory director, he still lived in the house he was originally allocated and did not move out.

"I'm used to it. Although it's cold this winter, my sister installed a heater and a kang bed. Even when it's snowing heavily outside, I don't need to wear cotton clothes inside and I still feel warm."

"Heating?"

"Yes, it's heated. It's very warm. After my aunt brought the wheat to Beijing, she was the one who went out to buy vegetables. It started snowing in October, so we started storing vegetables: cabbage, radishes, pumpkins, winter melons, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. My grandma also started to grow bean sprouts and leeks, and she harvested several crops to make dumplings."

Listening to this, Zhao Aimin gained a better understanding of Beijing.

"Do you need to buy so many vegetables? Won't they go bad?"

"No, there is a cellar, and the outside of the house can become a natural refrigerator."

"My brother-in-law likes to buy mutton to eat. I go to my sister's place every week."

mutton?

“No one cares when you buy things on the black market.”

Zhao Aimin looked at Zhao Yunhai, "Didn't your grandfather ask you to deliver a message?"

"Don't forget to mail them the pension. Every month, the bills and money I mail back should be given to you for your expenses."

Zhao Aimin will never forget to mail the pension.

"Have your grandparents gained weight?"

Zhao Yunhai knew this. "They've grown fat, especially Grandpa. When the weather isn't cold, he often takes Little Pomelo and Little Lemon to watch the old men play chess and chat."

Gained weight?

In Beijing, parents don’t have to work in the fields, so they just take care of the two children.

"Sister bought a washing machine and a TV."

washing machine?

With this washing machine, washing clothes becomes much more convenient.

"I heard from Xiaohua that you went to your second uncle's place with your grandparents during the summer vacation. Are you used to it there?"

Zhao Yunhai nodded. "It's a habit. My second brother even took me to the beach once. I didn't have to take care of Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, Xiao Youzi, and Xiao Ningmeng at all. Grandma was chatting with the military wives, and Grandpa was weaving backpacks, baskets, and dustpans under the tube building. After staying with my second uncle for over a month, Xiao Youzi and Xiao Ningmeng have gotten quite tanned."

Catch the sea?

The two boys from Xiaobin’s family.

I saw him the last time they came back.

His mother can still make a living no matter where she is.

His father is a man of few words, but he is never idle.

"Does Nini's mother-in-law often visit the two children?"

Zhao Yunhai nodded and said, "Aunt often comes to visit Xiao Youzi and Xiao Ningmeng, bringing either food or clothes. Xiao Youzi and Xiao Ningmeng's household registration is in the courtyard, and they have food ration books. Grandpa often queues up to get food, and I even helped queue up a few times."

It’s not surprising that the two little ones have food allowances.

"How big is your sister's courtyard?"

"The second courtyard is quite large, with more than a dozen rooms."

A dozen rooms?

So many rooms?

"I spent a lot of money to buy this courtyard house, and it was in a very shabby state. I spent a lot of money to renovate it."

If there really are more than a dozen rooms, then their whole family can live there.

I didn’t go to Beijing this year, but I will go next year.
