night.

The food on the table was unusually rich.

Sun used half an old hen to make chicken soup, and also used half an old hen to stew potatoes and mushrooms, stewed pork with sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles, fried a plate of eggs and green onions, and half a basket of dumplings.

Su Jinyan looked at so many things and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Sun bled a lot today, but she had a total of two pounds of meat, one pound for stewing pork with sweet potatoes, and one pound for making dumplings.

This pound of meat filled half a basket of dumplings, so you can imagine how much meat was in the dumpling filling.

This steamer is not the small steamer placed on the rice cooker in later generations, but the steamer placed on the big pot in the countryside.

Sun was usually very frugal when cooking. Apart from herself and the children, she, her father-in-law, and Zhao Yuanyi only ate until they were 60% to 70% full, and that was just water.

Are we going to eat as much as we want today?

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Sun first scoop out a large bowl of chicken soup, put six small pieces of chicken in it, then took out a large bowl, scooped some chicken stewed with potatoes and mushrooms, some pork stewed with sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles, and finally, put more than a dozen dumplings on it.

"Yuan Yi, send these two bowls to the captain's family to thank them for their help over the years."

Then he took out a big bowl, put ten dumplings in it, and covered it with two chicken feet for making chicken soup. "This bowl, send it to your grandparents. Tell them that you and Yanyan got the marriage certificate today. I made something delicious so that they can share in the good fortune."

Su Jinyan looked at the two skinny chicken feet above, and the corners of his mouth didn't twitch. He always knew that their family had a bad relationship with the people in the old house, but today he really experienced it.

These two chicken feet are just insulting.

A big bowl, not even full, is not even a little bit different from the treatment at the captain's house.

Zhao Zhengjun, who was sitting on the kang, was not at all displeased by this action.

They didn't really want to send dumplings to the old couple in the old house, but they wanted to vent their anger.

Recently, the quarrels have been the most intense in the old house, with rumors spreading everywhere that Su Jinyan, this spoiled girl, will definitely abandon her husband and children and return to the big city to live a good life.

The Su family thought they had found a golden nugget, but in the end, they got nothing.

It’s not that Sun was unfilial to her parents-in-law, nor was it that Zhao Zhengjun was unfilial to his parents. It’s because they were too filial and trusted them too much, and the blow they received in return completely overturned their entire perception of their relatives.

The couple, who had always been filial to their parents, had never seen the true face of the Zhao family because they could bring money back home every month.

Zhao Zhengjun and Sun became disabled or blind almost at the same time. The whole family of old, weak, sick and disabled people were driven out of their homes penniless and not even a pound of food was given to them. If it were not for the brigade to take charge, they might have ended up without even bedding, a few bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes in their shabby old house.

Even so, after Zhao Zhengjun's disability allowance and retirement allowance were received, they still took away half of them. The reason was simple: filial piety.

The word "filial piety" is like a knife hanging over your head. It will at least cost you a life.

In this day and age, if you are reported to be unfilial, your reputation will be ruined.

In the end, Zhao Zhengjun used half of the money, which was 1,500 yuan, to buy out the relationship, and the brigade issued a letter of severance.

I thought my family could live a stable life from then on, but I didn't expect that Zhao Yuanyi's elder brother and sister-in-law were greedy for money. They were also worried that their disabled father and half-blind mother would spend all the money on medical treatment and medicine, so they wanted them to support them in their old age and proposed to separate the family.

Five hundred yuan was taken away. At that time, Zhao Zhengjun's leg was in serious need of money. He was transferred from the city hospital to the county hospital, and then from the county hospital to the town hospital. Finally, seeing that there was not much money left, Zhao Zhengjun decisively gave up treatment, returned home, and used the remaining money to renovate the old house and build another one.

It’s impossible for the family to stop living together because of medical treatment, right?

In this way, Zhao Zhengjun's left leg was completely disabled. As for Sun's eyes, she was not born blind. She was startled and fell while doing farm work when she heard the news that Zhao Zhengjun was injured. She was injured by the wheat straw. The Zhao family refused to pay for her to go to the hospital, and he himself had no money, so his vision became more and more blurred.

Thinking of what the people in the old house did, a smile appeared in Su Jinyan's eyes.

Well, good job.

Zhao Yuanyi quickly returned with meals to the two families. He only conveyed what the captain said and did not even mention the old house.

No one wanted to talk about the unhappy things, and the family started to eat happily.

At the dinner table, Sun, who had been poor all his life, gave all the meat to others and was reluctant to eat any himself.

In fact, Su Jinyan couldn't stand such a view of life.

She picked up several pieces of pork and chicken from the basin and said to her, "Mom, you eat meat yourself. You will have to take care of two children in the future. You have to take good care of your body."

Sun was stunned, feeling that Su Jinyan had changed too much today. Zhao Zhengjun, who had always been taciturn, was also puzzled. He glanced at Zhao Yuanyi and shook his head, wondering what the young couple was doing.

However, their relationship suddenly improved and it was no longer just his son's wishful thinking, and Zhao Zhengjun was very satisfied.

"Okay, okay, mommy, eat. Mommy, eat."

Sun said happily, eating a piece of pork as she spoke.

She didn't know what the meat tasted like, but she felt so happy that she couldn't tell which way was which, and it was all sweet.

Today is a really good day.

Her daughter-in-law did not leave. Not only did she not leave, she also got married to her son and wanted to take the old couple with her!

Sun was so happy that her mouth never closed while she was eating.

The dish was dry and not very tasty due to lack of oil. One pound of meat filled up most of the dumplings, which showed that there was very little meat in it. Plus, there was no seasoning, so it was really not tasty.
