The dishes at Xu Laosans house tonight are extremely rich.
When Xu Yin learned about today's grain distribution, she went to the county town early in the morning, exchanged a meat ticket with her aunt, cut a piece of meat, and wrapped four pig's trotters from the meat stall.
Braised pork, braised pig's trotters, fish and shrimps caught in the river, and seasonal dishes that are gradually maturing in the private plot, complete the table full of dishes.
They also brought the little girl back from town, and Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu also called her over to eat together.
Xu Lan was shocked when she saw the table full of dishes: "Second sister, when did our food get so good?"
Girl Lan, please dont think twice. Our food is so good today only! We usually eat pickled cucumbers and kimchi with our meals. If you dont believe me, ask your mother.
Xu Laosan was afraid that this little girl would go out to brag, just like he and his wife had done before. They couldn't help but go out to play even after eating meat. As a result, the second daughter's matchbox business was wiped out.
Although the land has fallen into the hands of the eldest daughter, the married daughter is different from the daughter at home.
When Chen Huilan saw this, she quickly reminded her little girl: "Lanlan, please don't tell anyone. Because our family has distributed the most food today, it is the most we have ever received. Dad is happy, so he asked your second sister to do the harvesting." Come back with some meat. If you tell others, people will think that our family eats meat every day."
Xu Lancai didnt believe that today was the only day meat was eaten in her family. She was at her uncles house, and she had already eaten the braised pork sent by her second sister several times.
What surprised her was that in addition to braised pork, there were also fish, shrimp, and pig's trotters! Wow! Its time to eat meat today!
She giggled and made a face at her parents: "I'm not like you, I just go out and eat something delicious! I always eat it quietly, right, second sister?"
Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes!"
Xu Laosan said: "..."
These two girls are no longer available, each is more difficult to manage than the other.
Xu Lan rarely goes home, so she naturally needs to be well fed.
Xu Yin specially steamed a bowl of shrimp and egg custard with three beaten eggs, and put it into the bowls of Erlao and Xu Lan respectively.
The old man has bad teeth and cannot eat much meat. He eats some egg custard to replenish his health.
As for my little sister, of course its to reward her for her hard work in studying.
Xu Lan was flattered: "Second sister, I have some too? Are there still so many?"
Well, its for you, eat it quickly.
"Thank you, second sister!" Xu Lan happily held the bowl and started eating. She took a bite of the fresh egg custard and sighed with satisfaction, "Ah! It's delicious! I really want to stay at home."
Xu Laosan was afraid that she would not go to live with his boss, so he hurriedly said: "If you stay at home, you won't be able to eat. It's rare to come here to get a share. Do you think your mother and I have any egg custard?"
Xu Lan thought about it, and it was right! In the past, when I stayed at home every day, I didn't get this kind of treatment. I nodded vigorously: "I'm still going to live at my uncle's house! I can't let dad suffer!"
Thats right! Xu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief.
Others were speechless.
"By the way, Lan Lan, has Yuanyuan decided on a partner? Which one has she decided on?" Mrs. Xu thought of her eldest granddaughter's marriage.
The old lady was confused.
Last month, the eldest daughter-in-law came back and said that the eldest granddaughters partner was a steel factory worker. Why did she hear someone say this month that she was the son of the director of an agricultural machinery factory? Or is it that the son of an agricultural machinery factory works in a steel factory? Is it the same person?
Xu Lan told what she knew: "...Grandma, the one you mentioned was the previous one. That one was blown a long time ago. Now he is the son of Director Guo of the Agricultural Machinery Factory. He also works in the Agricultural Machinery Factory. He seems to be in charge of the warehouse. .
"Then the wedding date has been set? Why don't the boss and his wife say anything?" Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy. The wedding of the eldest granddaughter can be considered a big event. Neither the eldest nor the eldest family knew how to come to the old house to say something. When others asked, they didn't know anything about it.
Xu Lan tilted her head: "I heard my eldest mother-in-law complaining to my uncle. It seems that my mother-in-law has some objections to my uncle raising me and Taotao, and the bride price and other things have not been settled yet."
"What?" When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was so angry that she cursed, "It's none of the husband's business if the boss raises his nephews and nieces! We don't want them to pay for them!"
Xu Lao San nodded: "That's right! If the boss doesn't want to support you, then give up the position. The second boss and I will definitely rush to take it!"
Xu Yin wanted to hold her forehead: Dad! Don't add fuel to the fire!
Xu Laosan didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He picked his teeth and shook his head under the influence of wine and said to Mr. Xu:
"I'm serious, dad. You used to worry that I was too lazy, but now I'm not lazy anymore. I get full work points every day! Our family also got double work points during the double robbery and was elected to the Model Worker Commendation Conference. How proud of our ancestors. Ah! If the boss doesn't want to raise Lan Lan and Taotao, then let our Yin Yin do it! Aren't you a loader at the agricultural machinery factory? With Yin Yin's strength, are you afraid that she won't be able to handle that kind of work? "
When Xu Yin heard this, she wanted to step forward and cover her father's mouth.
Are you kidding me? Let her work as a worker in an agricultural machinery factory? Isnt this getting closer to the plot?
"Grandpa, my father is talking drunken words! Don't take it to heart. Once the replacement position is confirmed, there is no reason to change it." Xu Yin interrupted, "How about you go to the uncle's house tomorrow to see what kind of job it is? If the situation is really because of Lan Lan and Taotao, I think it would be okay for the uncle to provide some food ration money every month and let the two children go back to their respective homes..."
Grandpa Xu nodded: "I'll go to the old man's house tomorrow to have a look."
At this glance, we can see the problem.
Zou Caifen didn't know that the old man would come, so she hid the meat and vegetables as usual, gave Tao Tao some pickle knots, and broke off half of the whole grain wotou for him:
"Eat quickly! Go to school after eating! Your cousin's partner will be coming home soon."
Uncle, didnt you buy fish? Why are there no fish?
Taotao looked at the food on the table.
Since he and Lan Lan exposed the eldest uncle's hiding of vegetables in front of his cousin's ex-partner, the eldest uncle's wife has become even more aggressive. It doesn't matter whether the family buys meat or vegetables, it's not his and Lan Lan's share.
Theres no fish! No fish! Zou Caifen was so annoyed with the little beast, Thats all, you can eat it or not!
Xu Lan supported Old Man Xu and stood outside the door, lowering her voice and said: "Grandpa, the aunt has designated to hide vegetables. She will be entertaining her cousin soon, so it is impossible not to buy meat and vegetables."
Old man Xu's dissatisfaction with his eldest daughter-in-law has reached its extreme.
There is no food at home, everyone eats pickles and dumplings, and no one says anything.
It is too much to hide meat and vegetables from the children even though they are clearly there.
Even if you dont buy much meat and vegetables and cant get a piece per person, its still a good idea to spoon some broth or fish soup with rice for them.
The salary earned by the eldest brother is shared by the second and third sons. You cant just enjoy without paying!
Clang!
The old man was so angry that he pushed open the door and entered.
Zou Caifen was startled: "Dad? Why are you here?"
"grandfather!"
Taotao was feeling aggrieved. When he saw old man Xu coming in, he threw himself into his arms and took the opportunity to complain:
My uncle didnt give me and Lan Lan enough to eat! One time we were hungry for two whole days!
