Yuan Hai, this fish is not small.

Just as I persuaded grandma not to be angry, my mother suddenly spoke.

Ji Yuanhai didn't answer, knowing that his mother still wanted to send fish to her parents' family.

Just as he had already remembered the Wang family in his heart, he also found it difficult to have tender feelings for his mother and brother-in-law, and did not expect much affection in return.

Even if he gave the whole fish to his mother and asked her to send it to her parents' family.

She gets happy and praises herself, and seems to be close to her, so what?

Next time, she will still choose her brother-in-law and her mother's family instead of Jiyuanhai and Jiyuanshan.

Ji Yuanhai's silence made her mother obviously dissatisfied. She said, Our family can't finish such a big fish in one meal.

It just rained, the ground is still muddy, and the production team is not working. I'm going to your grandma's house today to have a look.

Ji Yuanhai still didn't speak. He didn't want to give or quarrel with his mother.

But grandma spoke up: Boss, wife, you go visit relatives...bring two pieces of fish with you.

Ji Yuanhai looked at his grandma in surprise, but she smiled at him, the wrinkles on her face slightly spreading.

Ji Yuanhai's mother was overjoyed when she heard this: Okay, mother! I'll go right away!

I got up and took the basket, put two large pieces of freshly cut fish, about three or four kilograms, covered it with a towel, and left the house in a hurry.

After she left, grandma said to Ji Yuanhai, That's our relative too.

Last time you caught fish, I didn't give it to him because I thought it would be difficult to satisfy the craving for fish. This time there was indeed a lot of fish and meat. Your mother is asking for something for your son. How can you always deny it to her? No. Is she going to her parents’ home?”

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling both listened to grandma's words.

Grandma continued: According to the etiquette of visiting relatives, you have to bring some gifts when you return to your parents' home.

While we have it in hand, let her go back to her parents' home, which is generous. She will be happy, our family will have dignity, and our relationship will be taken care of.

To save face...?

Ji Yuanhai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The older generation in rural areas naturally have their own understanding of interpersonal relationships and proper etiquette.

If nothing changes drastically, then Grandpa said that Ji Yuanhai will build an adobe house in the future and live a peaceful life, which seems to be the safest.

Grandma’s talk about family relationships and the face issues of etiquette are also carefully considered.

However, with the beginning of an era when everything was about money, the simple concepts of neighborhood and life in rural areas soon changed.

The face and courtesy of some relatives and neighbors may be worthless or even poisonous.

This is hard for grandparents to imagine.

If you are not careful, if you feel soft-hearted, you feel that your relatives will not harm others, you become a loan guarantor... At that time, relatives and neighbors gradually became indifferent, and it became the norm for everyone to live their own lives.

Ji Yuanhai couldn't explain all this to his grandparents, so he could only agree to the experience of the older generation.

This is also the reason why Ji Yuanhai doesn't want to save face for his mother and brother-in-law, and even wants to break up with his grandma's family. In the eyes of rural people nowadays, the vital and interdependent relationship between relatives will only be like that in the future.

Not to mention, my mother's indifference towards Ji Yuanhai and my uncle's absolute selfishness are all verified by memory.

Grandma asked Ji Yuanhai's mother to take fish and meat back to her parents' home, and both grandpa and father later agreed.

The fields are still muddy and there is no way to work in the fields, but the members can have a relaxing day today.

At noon, a pot of fish was stewed in a big iron pot.

The whole family gathered around the table in the main room and ate fish with all their heart. When the fish is bigger, it has fewer spines and more meat. Although it is not as oily and fragrant as pork, it can satisfy the craving and replenish the body's meaty taste.

After having a full meal, Ji Yuanshan patted his belly and said, Yuan Hai, when will we catch fish again? This tastes so good!

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: If you want to eat it, I will catch it again this evening.

Grandpa reminded: Yuanshan, Yuanhai, we have to wait a few days. If our family catches fish and stews it every day, there will definitely be jealous people in the village.

Ji Yuanhai nodded in agreement.

After dinner, grandma and Lu Heling cleared away the pots and pans.

The production team didn't go to work in the afternoon, so Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were bored staying in the house.

Go out for a walk? Ji Yuanhai suggested.

Lu Heling was a little moved by this proposal.

But think about it, when you go to chat with educated youths, what you keep talking about over and over again are the same things from the past.

The educated youth are still quite prejudiced against Ji Yuanhai, thinking that he is an ordinary farmer and will feel uncomfortable if his words are not speculative.

The other villagers had nothing to say... She really couldn't do it if Lu Heling was to be enthusiastic, chatting and laughing with the rural women.

It's not that she is arrogant, it's just that the topics they talk about are completely different.

People like to talk about certain rural things in this village and the next village, and Lu Heling can't get in the middle of the conversation.

Somewhat depressed, she told Ji Yuanhai her thoughts, and Lu Heling said, It's quite uncomfortable to go out like this, so I'd better stay at home.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and raised his eyebrows at her: What are you doing at home?

Lu Heling was stunned for a moment, then asked repeatedly: Yes, what are you doing at home?

After all, she was not a girl from the later generations, so she didn't understand Ji Yuanhai's teasing intention for a while.

Seeing her like this, Ji Yuanhai found it difficult to tell her what she meant.

Then let's talk about our future ideals?

Speaking of ideals, Lu Heling and Ji Yuanhai have said it more than once.

Lu Heling said a few words, and Ji Yuanhai grabbed her palm and slowly played with her fingers.

Lu Heling was already a newlywed wife, and she gradually felt the charming atmosphere. Her face gradually turned red, and she couldn't say anything anymore.

He whispered: It's daytime... Yuan Hai...

The family is full of people, and Ji Yuanhai can't really do anything.

It's just that the newlyweds inevitably couldn't get enough of each other, so they rubbed their skin and kissed for a long time.

The kissing Lu Heling's mouth was slightly open, and her breathing was difficult.

Ji Yuanhai's eyes became more and more fiery, almost putting her down on the spot.

It's a pity that there is no harmony between people, and there is no right time and place.

With no other choice, Ji Yuanhai had no choice but to suppress his anger and walked out: I'll go out for a walk first!

As soon as I left the house, my mother came back cheerfully: Yuan Hai, have you eaten?

Eat. Ji Yuanhai replied.

Have you left any food for me? Mother asked.

Ji Yuanhai was speechless for a moment: It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, you delivered the fish and you didn't come back without lunch?

That's it, it's still silly fun!

I didn't pay attention either. You go home and ask my grandma, she will know. Ji Yuanhai said, passing by his mother.

Behind me, my mother muttered angrily, I'm sure I won't be able to eat anymore...

Ji Yuanhai found it difficult to evaluate whether she was pitiful or not.

Walking along the alley, a big black butterfly with gold-rimmed wings flew towards me. Its wings were spread out and were as big as a palm. Ji Yuanhai watched the big butterfly fly high and go to the other side of the village.

After just two steps, Wang Laoer ran over from the corner with his legs crooked and panting.

The two looked at each other, and Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised: What is Wang Laoer going to do?
