Chapter 2393 Lively
Mei Jianzhong looked at Feng Yiping, "You're back!" Although he had a hearing aid, his voice was still a little loud.
"I'm back, grandpa,"
"Come in, everyone come in," Mei Jianzhong said as he looked at the large group of people.
Feng Yiping is back, he's so happy.
In the renovated large living room, several tables had already been set up, "Yiping," several aunts were busy setting up tea, water and fruits on the tables, and when they saw Feng Yiping coming in, they smiled and greeted him one by one.
The side effect of having such an outstanding nephew is that the relationship between these sisters-in-law, who used to be very playful, is now harmonious.
After everyone's life got better, many things that they would have cared about before naturally became less.
Except for the younger uncle, the main source of income for the other uncles is the increasingly large-scale noodle factory. The "Mei Brothers" noodles are now sold all over the country through the Laojiawei Noodle House and Youjia Convenience.
This originally very rural and very village trademark is very good when used on noodles. Many people will immediately have a very direct impression of this kind of noodles when they see it as a very down-to-earth trademark, or in other words, a down-to-earth trademark. This must be handmade noodles, hand-pulled by our honest farmers with guaranteed quality.
Indeed, from the perspective of technology, several key steps are still purely manual. Of course, new technologies are inevitably used in such links as dough mixing and drying. If such links are still carried out manually, the output will not be high anyway. The most important thing is that they are not in a place with good sunshine conditions.
Therefore, several uncles are already considering building a new factory in other areas with good sunshine conditions in China.
They can also see that as everyone's life is getting better and better, more and more people like natural products as much as possible. Drying with the sun is not only low-cost, but also a selling point.
For this reason, Feng Yiping estimates that it will not be long before some of the Meijia Brothers noodles will be produced by Uyghur brothers and sisters, because that is the area with the best sunshine conditions in China.
Of course, the harmony between these sisters-in-law also has a lot to do with the eldest uncle.
As the person in charge of the company, the honest and upright eldest uncle made the younger brothers' families have nothing to say about the distribution of profits. Sometimes, he would rather suffer some losses himself.
Otherwise, such a family company with good performance would not have a peaceful time.
Speaking of which, the uncles and aunts have not forgotten their roots. Until now, they have been working in the workshop, even harder than ordinary employees. The employees have to take turns to rest, but they rarely rest.
Feng Yiping thought that it was probably because they were busy. Once they were busy, the aunts would not have so much time to quarrel.
"The meal is not ready yet, eat something first," Mei Jianzhong grabbed something in front of Feng Yiping as soon as he sat down.
Among the fruits and vegetables on the table, there are many original fried peanuts and sunflower seeds, as well as the same as before, not very good-looking, not very sweet dried sweet potatoes, and very sweet persimmons... chestnuts, of course, are indispensable.
However, it was not the sugar-fried chestnuts that had a deep connection with Feng Yiping's family, but the chestnut kernels that were naturally dried and peeled off the outer hard shell, leaving only a wrinkled, thin skin that would fall off with a rub.
Each of these tasted like home.
Feng Yiping felt that he didn't need to eat, and he could be full with these dishes with the tea at home.
Eating these things that tasted the same as when he was a child, listening to the familiar local accent, looking at the grandparents, parents, and uncles around him, watching the sun shining in from the door, and the local dogs wagging their tails and burrowing under the table... What is this?
This is home.

"Uncle Feng, I will be transferred after the New Year," Sheng Zheng whispered to Feng Zhenchang.
"You're leaving too?" Feng Zhenchang was stunned. "But, that's right. The place here is still too small."
"Well, you're being transferred here, so you're definitely getting a promotion. Congratulations."
"Uncle Feng, don't say that," Sheng Zheng looked at Feng Yiping over there, and at the village outside the window that had changed a lot from when he first came here. "I really don't want to leave, but Yiping is so outstanding and so supportive of the town. The town's development is so fast and so good. I can't stay in this position for too long,"
Feng Zhenchang figured out what Sheng Zheng meant. "We really don't want you to leave either." , the town has developed so well in recent years, and you, the county magistrate, have made great contributions. However, moving up is a good thing, so don't think too much. Yiping is a sentimental person, and he also remembers your kindness. Even if you are not in the town in the future, if there is anything, just say it, and he will definitely do it. "
"I know, I know, but it's really unnecessary," Sheng Zheng said, "In the past two years, Yiping and Uncle Feng have helped me a lot. In the future, even if I am not in the town, if there is anything, just say it, and I promise to do it for you within one night."
"Have tea," Feng Zhenchang raised his cup.
There are some things that he knows very well. As long as his son develops better and better, as long as Wuli'ao develops better and better, Sheng Zheng's words are not false.
For example, the previous incumbent Guo Guojian is also doing well in the province now, but during the holidays, he never forgets to call him as before, and is even more diligent than when he was in the town before.
"What about the one who succeeds you?" Feng Zhenchang asked.
He also knew how much his son valued Wuli'ao, so he naturally didn't want someone who would cause trouble for his son.
"Don't worry, Uncle Feng, no matter who replaces me, there will be no problem. The provincial leaders attach great importance to our candidates for this position," Sheng Zheng explained, "Besides, with You Ping here, what problems can there be?"
Everyone knows how Wuli'ao developed, and everyone knows who is behind Wuli'ao. If you understand this problem clearly, there will be no problem.
Unclear? That doesn't exist! Anyone who replaces Sheng Zheng will quickly understand this problem.
…………
Huang Qinping and Annie were chatting happily next to them, "What is this?" Annie pointed to the black-looking persimmon cake on the plate on the table curiously.
"Our specialty here, natural donuts," Huang Qinping said.
But she hoped that there would be something on the table that didn't look spicy, didn't smell spicy, but tasted spicy, or something that looked cold but tasted hot.
Annie, who had eaten many meals at Mantingfang and had a certain basic understanding of Chinese food, still didn't eat the bowl of vermicelli soup she specially prepared last time, so the two of them are still not friends.
And Annie has been quite wary of the food recommended by Huang Qinping since then.
"Natural donuts? Really?" Annie looked a little skeptical.
Huang Qinping didn't say anything, but immediately picked up one and took a bite.
Seeing this, Annie also picked up one, took a small bite, and immediately her eyes lit up, "Really!"
"Of course it's real," Huang Qinping just remembered that persimmon cakes are not easy to digest, so if they are delicious, you can eat more, hehe!
…………
On the other side, the grandfather and grandson were whispering, Mei Jianzhong approached Feng Yiping, "Didn't you bring the children back?"
"They are all in school," Feng Yiping said, "They are all fine,"
"I was thinking, wait until next month, during the Christmas holiday there, you go to Hawaii, I will let Jingping and Ma Ling bring them to see you,"
In Silicon Valley, there are always inconveniences, and the weather in Silicon Valley will gradually cool down, so Hawaii is more suitable.
Mei Jianzhong immediately grasped the key point, "Did they bring the children with them?"
Feng Yiping nodded, "Yes,"
Immediately, his foot was hit by his grandfather with a cane, "Don't be proud!"
"No!" Feng Yiping said immediately.
"They are all good girls," Mei Jianzhong said.
"Where are your parents?" he asked again.
"Let's go together this time," Feng Yiping looked at his father who was greeting Sheng Zheng, and his mother who was busy in the kitchen with his aunts and came to the door to see him from time to time.
"Okay," Mei Jianzhong nodded, then shook his head, "Jingping's family..."
"Don't do this again in the future,"
"Hehe, of course," Feng Yiping looked at the table.
Seeing him like this, Mei Jianzhong was naturally a little confused, but Feng Yiping then talked about another thing, "That girl," he pointed to Annie next to Huang Qinping at another table and said, "That's Ma Ling's sister,"
"Oh," Mei Jianzhong looked at Annie for a few times, "She doesn't look like her sister,"
"Why is she with Jingping's sister?"
"They are good friends," Feng Yiping said.
"Know all this about you?"
"Yes,"
Feng Yiping was hit on the foot again, "Look at what you did, how many people helped you hide it,"
But, looking at his laughing grandson, he also felt helpless. Who can control this guy?
"Did Feng introduce me to his grandfather?" Annie noticed the movement from Feng Yiping at the first time. She gathered her hair and said, "Do you think I should go over and say hello?"
"Forget it. Don't scare the old man."
"Crack." Annie, who was eating a chestnut, bit her teeth because she bit too hard.
Will I scare people?
"Look at those children. They were embarrassed to look at you before, but now they dare not look at you," Huang Qinping said, "You know, Annie, you have disillusioned the image of American beauty in their young hearts."
Her plan just now failed again. Annie only ate two persimmons, because although she didn't know that persimmons were difficult to digest, she naturally knew that such sweet persimmons must have a high sugar content, and sugar is a taboo for her who is especially concerned about her weight now.
So Huang Qinping, who was a little depressed at this time, spoke very venomously.
Anne covered her mouth. The feeling of her teeth being knocked out was not only very uncomfortable, but the loud noise also attracted the attention of people around her. Although the attention was well-intentioned, she still felt embarrassed.
"I suddenly want to fight with you now," Anne whispered.
As a girl, she can't stand others slandering her appearance in front of her.
Although she admitted that there was still a certain gap between her and her sister, Anne has always been a proud person. This girl has blonde hair, blue eyes and a first-class figure. She has many suitors since she was a child. How can she ruin those children's beautiful fantasy of American beauties?
"Okay, let's go out and find a place," Huang Qinping stood up.
As a girl who grew up in Florida, the Deep South of the United States, Anne was also very tough. Without saying a word, she followed.
She estimated that Huang Qinping's small body was not a...
However, I don’t know if Huang Qinping is not familiar with this place or for some other reason. Not to mention the place suitable for the two of them to compete, it is difficult to find a place with few people.
When Huang Qinping came out, just like when Feng Yiping came in before, many people came out of their homes and greeted her warmly, "Qinping..."
Wuliao is so small. Because of her relationship with Feng Yiping, everyone is also very familiar with Huang Jingping's family. However, chatting with everyone does not make Huang Qinping very comfortable, because everyone will turn the topic to her sister before she can say three sentences.
Can you not do this?
And Annie next to her ended the aunts' beautiful fantasy about American girls. It turns out that those American movies and TV series are also played by those girls who are good-looking. Most American girls should look like this girl. They are really white, but this appearance is a bit unpleasant.
However, it seems that life in the United States is really good. Look at this girl, who grew up drinking milk and eating beef, she is different. This body looks really good and easy to raise.
Annie didn't know this, because Huang Qinping said that these people were all very close relatives of Feng Yiping, so she smiled brightly to everyone she met...
Unconsciously, they walked to the noodle factory, looking at the workshops stacked from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and watching the sisters and aunts in the workshops turning the dough into such thin noodles, Annie couldn't help but shout, "Wow, it's amazing!"
Huang Qinping curled her lips, an American who had never seen the world!
Annie noticed her expression, "How about, let's start now?"
"Okay," Huang Qinping just agreed, and saw Feng Yiping's aunt standing there and shouting, "Qinping, bring your friends back for dinner!"
"Humph, I tell you, you've escaped today..."
