"We are all cousins, why should we be so polite? You just need to be more filial to my aunt in the future."

No matter what time, whether a woman is strong at home depends mainly on whether she has someone supporting her in her family.

"Just rest assured, cousin. We will definitely be filial to my mother."

Gu Qiang and Gu Liang made assurances repeatedly.

"Dad, Mom, everyone is back. Can we have dinner now?"

Her parents were sitting in the main room. Before dinner started, Zhang Yue'e asked for permission as usual, as if she had returned to the time when she was a girl in Zhangzhuang.

"Silly girl, this is your home. They've been working all morning. Come eat!"

The fish soup is stewed into a milky white soup, which is served with tofu, soaked dried black fungus and day lily, and exudes a rich aroma.

The cornmeal pancakes are golden yellow, making people drool when they see them.

"Being a worker is great! Cousin, don't people in the city eat fine grains every day?"

While talking to Zhang Shuguang, Gu Liang's eyes never left the food on the table.

"No, the whole country is suffering from a food shortage right now, and everyone is eating alternative food, which is just enough to keep them from starving. I can only get food because of the nature of my work."

Zhang Shuguang did not describe the city as glamorous, but instead spoke realistically about the current situation in the county.

"Cousin, what kind of job do you do?"

Cousin Gu Nian was very curious about what kind of job could allow her cousin to earn so much fine grain.

"A logistics buyer at the machinery factory, specifically responsible for purchasing grain."

"No wonder. Just like in our commune, the quartermaster and the cook never go hungry. My cousin is really capable of finding such a good job."

There was a hint of admiration in the little girl's eyes as she looked at Zhang Shuguang.

"Eat quickly and don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Yue'e glared at her daughter and stuffed a cornmeal pancake into her hand.

Everyone in the commune is a leader, so can we talk about them casually?

Some things are better left unsaid, as even thinking about them is a mistake.

As Zhang Yue'e distributed all the pancakes, no one spoke at the table anymore, and everyone showed great respect for the food.

Everyone used a bowl to eat the pancakes, being very careful not to waste a single grain of food.

It was not until Zhang Yue'e saw that Zhang Qingchun and Gu Hansong had finished the cakes in their hands that she took out a bottle of liquor.

"Dad, when I bought tofu just now, I went to the agency and bought a bottle of loose wine. Let Han Song drink with you!"

There were three wine bowls in total. Apart from the old man and Gu Hansong, only one was placed in front of Zhang Shuguang.

As for her own two sons, they definitely cannot drink alcohol.

"Life is so hard, why are you still spending this money?"

The old man complained, but in his heart he was extremely satisfied with his eldest daughter.

"Dad, let me pour you some wine."

Gu Hansong took the bottle, poured wine for the old man first, and then poured a small bowl for Zhang Shuguang.

Zhang Shuguang was not polite either. He knew that if he was too polite, his aunt would feel uncomfortable.

"Grandson's wife, you still need to feed the baby. Eat more. Only when you are full can you have milk to feed the baby."

Seeing that Jiang Huizhen had finished the fish soup in her bowl, Liu Guixiang asked Zhang Yue'e to add another bowl for her.

"Thank you, grandma, and thank you, mom."

Jiang Huizhen thanked her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Her first child was a daughter. When the child was just born, Jiang Huizhen was a little nervous, fearing that her in-laws would be unhappy. However, her in-laws were very caring towards her and her daughter, and they let her eat all the eggs in the house.

My milk supply is still not good, but my mother-in-law has never complained. She just said that she would go and ask the team leader to lend her some fine grains.

It is a blessing for both mother and daughter that she can marry into such a family and her daughter can be born into this family.

After the younger generations finished their meal, they tactfully left the table, leaving only three of them to slowly drink their wine, while Liu Guixiang and Zhang Yue'e, mother and daughter, were chatting.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Zhang Yue'e quickly added fish soup and brought them some pancakes.

"Yue'e, seeing that your family is all well, your father and I are relieved. Hansong and the children still have to go to work in the afternoon, so we will go back first."

After her husband and eldest grandson finished their meal, Liu Guixiang was worried about her younger grandson and granddaughter, so she immediately asked to go home.

"Mom, you and Dad have finally come here, so please stay for a while. It doesn't matter if you go to work in the afternoon or not."

Zhang Yue'e and her husband hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"There are two little ones at home. I'm afraid your sister-in-law won't be able to handle it all by herself. She'll be restless and can't stay here any longer. You'd better go back early!"

"Mom, wait a moment."

Since her mother had said this, Zhang Yue'e had no choice but to stay any longer. She hurried into the kitchen and came out with a grass carp and a piece of tofu.

"Mom, take this piece of tofu home and stew it."

When stewing the fish just now, Zhang Yue'e specially stewed one and left one.

This is the custom near Dongfeng County. When guests bring gifts to the door, the host is not allowed to keep all the gifts. The host will give the guests something else to take back.

Firstly, it is about human relationships and worldly wisdom, and secondly, it also has a beautiful meaning, representing surplus every year.

Liu Guixiang didn't say anything, but just looked at her eldest grandson Zhang Shuguang.

Unknowingly, the old couple had put their sixteen-year-old grandson in a position where he could be the head of the family.

"Aunt, please keep them all. I didn't buy the fish, I caught them myself in the river.

Tofu is also hard to carry; it would pile up after a dozen miles of transport."

Zhang Shuguang refused with a smile, saying that his aunt's family was already in such a difficult situation, so let's not worry about customs and habits.
