Ma Xiulan pretended to scold him: "How can you talk like that! So what if it's pig offal? It may be a little gamey, but at least it has the taste of meat."
Chen Dabao ignored her and, after confirming that Chen Ermei had only brought back pig offal, went back to his room.
At first, they were quite happy, after all, it was food and it was free.
However, their cooking skills were only so-so, and Ma Xiulan was reluctant to use oil when cooking, so even if it tasted good, it was only so-so. Now, the Chen family doesn't really want to eat pork offal anymore.
"Second sister, it's not that Mom dislikes pig offal, it's just that this pig offal has a strong smell."
"Could you bring something else back next time? If there's no meat, spare ribs or pig's feet would be fine too."
Ma Xiulan felt that she had already been very considerate of Chen Ermei, and she hadn't even asked her to bring back any grain or meat.
She only wanted some scraps that didn't require tickets, which was already very considerate of her.
Ma Xiulan guessed that the reason Chen Ermei only brought back pig offal was probably because it didn't require a ration coupon. She had money but no coupons, so she bought that.
After hearing this, Chen Ermei wanted to tell Ma Xiulan directly that this was not something she had bought.
However, remembering Xu Jingui's repeated instructions, she still didn't dare to say anything. But she couldn't possibly bring back any other meat either.
She tried it the second time she went, but Xu Zhuang and the others said that apart from pig offal, everything else was in high demand.
Unable to explain or agree, Chen Ermei changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Mom, I just saw Huang Qinqin's older brother at the entrance of the family compound. It looks like his leg is broken!"
"What?! Really??? I don't think I've heard this news before."
Ma Xiulan felt that if it were true, there would be a reason why no one knew. So many days had passed and she hadn't heard anyone mention it.
Could it be that Chen Ermei saw it wrong?
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I haven't noticed anything unusual about the Huang family lately."
Chen Ermei was certain she hadn't misread: "I couldn't have misread it! I saw Huang Jianguo walking with a cane and needing someone to help him."
Ma Xiulan slapped her thigh happily and said excitedly, "That's wonderful!"
"You have no idea, Huang Qinqin used to go back to her parents' home often, and everyone was saying, openly or secretly, that Huang Qinqin hadn't married the wrong person."
"They say the Huang family has a good son-in-law, and Chen Zhaodi is always showing her big teeth everywhere she goes. I wonder if she can still smile now!"
Ma Xiulan ignored Chen Ermei and happily went to share this 'good news' with others.
Anyway, Chen Ermei never stayed for dinner whenever she came back. The first time she brought things back, Ma Xiulan planned to invite her to stay for dinner.
As it turned out, Chen Ermei said she had to rush back to cook, so we decided against it.
So every time she went back to her parents' home, she received nothing but a few words of praise from the Chen family.
But Chen Ermei was happy because she had never been praised like this by her parents before. Now that she had received it, she felt it was all worthwhile.
......
After Chen Zhaodi and the others accompanied Huang Jianguo home, they remembered the house allocated by the factory.
Chen Zhaodi handed the key to Huang Jianguo and said, "Boss, this is the key to the house the factory assigned to you. Keep it yourself."
Huang Jianguo took the keys, and even though he was usually very reserved, he couldn't hide his joy: "Dad, Mom, have you gone to see the house yet?"
Is it in the staff quarters or somewhere else?
Huang Jianguo could clearly hear his own heartbeat. He had heard his parents mention the last time the factory allocated housing.
He had given up hope, but unexpectedly, he turned misfortune into blessing and the factory allocated him a house directly.
When it comes to this house, Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi have a lot to say.
Whenever Huang Eryuan thought about that large apartment, he felt that Huang Jianguo's injury this time was definitely worth it!
He asked in feigned suspense, "Boss, guess where it is? I guarantee you'll never guess."
Chen Zhaodi gave him a disdainful shove. It was almost time to go to work, so she said directly, "It's in the family compound."
"And it's that big two-story bungalow! We went to see it, it's huge! It has four rooms, and each room is quite spacious!"
Huang Jianjun's eyes widened in shock: A large bungalow!!! Good heavens, was it the large bungalow he was thinking of?!
Huang Jianguo asked calmly, "Did you give me a room, or did you give me the whole house?"
If you ignored Huang Jianguo's constantly trembling hands, you would believe that he wasn't excited at all.
"The whole house! After you get married and have several children, there will be enough room for you. You won't have to worry about anything."
Huang Jianguo hadn't thought that far ahead, but if the new house was this big, then why not say, "Mom and Dad, let's move to the new house together?"
"Let's call my younger sister home one day and let her choose a room first."
Huang Eryuan thought it was a good idea; they would definitely follow Huang Jianguo from now on, since he was the eldest son.
However, Chen Zhaodi had more to consider. After all, it was Huang Jianguo's house, and if their whole family moved in, Huang Jianjun would be in an awkward position.
Since none of us are married yet, we probably don't feel anything is wrong.
But what about after they get married? Will Huang Jianguo's wife mind?
This is Huang Jianguo's house after all. It's one thing for the elderly couple to live here, but why should the married sister-in-law and the married brother-in-law live here?
Chen Zhaodi also felt it wasn't good if they all moved there, leaving only Huang Jianjun here.
"We'll talk about that later. It'll be time for work soon. Your dad and I will head out now."
After saying that, he pushed Huang Eryuan out.
After Huang Eryuan left, he asked, puzzled, "Why did you have to say that again? Since there's a bigger house available, what's wrong with moving there?"
Chen Zhaodi certainly knew that a big house was good, but she was a little conflicted: "But this is the eldest son's house. Is it okay to let Jianjun move in with us?"
“What’s wrong with that? Jianjun is a fitter now, although he’s only a first-level fitter. But it’s only a matter of time before skilled workers get housing.”
"At worst, we can let Jianjun move back here after he gets married. There are better houses now, why not move?"
"Besides, don't you want to experience what it's like to live on the second floor?"
Of course I want to!
After hearing what Huang Eryuan said, Chen Zhaodi suddenly felt that the problems she had been thinking about were no longer problems.
Indeed, the second child will also have their own room in the future. Even if they don't, they can still go back to live in the old house.
After figuring things out, Chen Zhaodi felt better, but unfortunately, her happiness didn't last long before she overheard people talking about Huang Jianguo.
"Really? I heard that the Huang family boy's leg is broken, and many people saw it!"
Chen Zhaodi shouted angrily, "Who are you saying has a broken leg?!"
