Heat oil in a pan and put the strips of meat in. They will instantly be coated in the hot oil and turn golden brown. Add dried mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant. The aroma will make you sauté.
Zhao Lijuan knew that Song Youyou cooked delicious food. After all, she was the one who brought meals to the hospital a few days ago, and the couple fully experienced it.
But she didn't expect that these dishes would be more fragrant when fried.
She's almost dizzy from the fragrance.
"Sister, I know someone who's doing some private business. I'll bring you some lard someday."
Zhao Lijuan could clearly see that Song Youyou was willing to use a lot of oil and ingredients when cooking.
If it were someone else, she would have no way of living.
But this person is Song Youyou, her adopted sister, so the only thing in her mind is to help her get more lard.
Otherwise, the monthly ration of oil would not be enough for her to consume.
"Okay, then I'll thank you first."
Song Youyou did not refuse. She knew that Zhao Lijuan was trying to repay the favor, and she could afford it, so she didn't be polite to her.
The meal was ready very quickly.
Zhao Lijuan hurried home and brought Yang Jun, who was recuperating at home.
Although Yang Jun was discharged from the hospital, his leg still did not recover quickly after a hundred days of injury, and he usually had to use a cane to walk.
Gu Xiao brought the political commissar, Wang Geng and others over and happened to see Yang Jun walking with a limp.
Political Commissar Hao, who was most familiar with Yang Jun, couldn't help but tease him a few words, and with this as the beginning, several people started chatting lively at the door.
Zhao Lijuan went in first and put the food on the table with Song Youyou.
"Sister-in-law Lijuan, why did you divide these dishes into two portions?"
Seeing Zhao Lijuan divide out some of each dish, Song Youyou was very curious.
Zhao Lijuan said naturally, "This is our dish. The men have one table, and we women have one."
Song Youyou: "...There are only six of us in total, do we have to split into two tables?"
"Well, it's the rule here that women are not allowed to sit at the table when a group of people are dining together.
I didn't know this when I first came here, but later I adapted to the local customs.
Anyway, we'll set up a small table for eating, and the big table will let the men eat and talk."
Song Youyou: “…”
what is this???
Song Youyou was about to speak, but a voice spoke first:
"Then from today on, this rule has changed. Let's put the dishes back together so everyone can eat together."
It turned out that it was Gu Xiao who came in.
Zhao Lijuan exclaimed "Ah", but before she could understand what he meant, Gu Xiao had already come over and brought out the food.
"Sister, Captain Gu, what's going on..."
"He's done talking. In our house, there's no rule that women can't sit at the table. Let's go out for dinner."
Fortunately, Gu Xiao said it first, otherwise Song Youyou’s fists would have been hardened.
She worked so hard to prepare the meal to entertain the guests, but they said women were not allowed to sit at the table?
What kind of broken rule is this?
Gu Xiao also cursed in his heart: What a broken rule!
Because of this broken rule, his wife was obviously in a bad mood.
He was innocent. Although he did not make the rules, it was his fault that his wife was angry.
"My dear wife, don't be angry. I've told them all that such bad habits are not allowed when eating at my house..."
"Humph, I'm not angry at all. I received a letter from home today saying grandma's leg is healed and she can stand up now. I'm so happy, who's angry?"
This little episode passed quickly and everyone sat together to have dinner happily.
Zhang Guizhi is Song Youyou's neighbor, and their two courtyards are adjacent.
So, she could smell the aroma of cooking from Song Youyou's place.
She could also hear their lively conversation.
Looking at the deserted stove in her own home and thinking of the lively scene in Song Youyou's home, Zhang Guizhi felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart.
"It takes so long to cook rice, and it doesn't even smell good. How can you be so useless?
I really don’t know what’s the point of giving birth to you!
It has a mouth and all it does all day is eat food and eat food. It's such a money-losing thing!
And you, I told you to stop drooling, you drool every day!
It’s so dirty!
Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Why are you drooling non-stop? "
Zhang Guizhi was so angry that she had no place to vent it, so she could only take it out on her two daughters and scold them.
But after cursing, I still felt angry.
The next day, Zhang Guizhi went to work at the hospital. After cleaning, she immediately went to find Qiao Shan to complain.
Qiao Shan was actually very impatient in her heart, but she pretended to be cooperative on the surface. She listened to Zhang Guizhi's chatter and would agree with her from time to time.
Ever since the job exam incident, those people in the hospital who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak have stopped associating with her.
Qiao Shan had no choice but to win over the seemingly stupid Zhang Guizhi.
"I also think they are not good people. If they were good people, they wouldn't treat you like that, Sister Guizhi!
Moreover, since Song Youyou and Zhao Lijuan can eat so well, who knows if they are secretly doing something bad.
Sister Guizhi, please pay close attention to their movements in the family compound. If you discover anything, be sure to tell me."
Zhang Guizhi felt a little better after hearing Qiao Shan's response, as if she had found an ally. She nodded and said,
"Of course I can't stand seeing them like that. I'll definitely keep a close eye on them."
