In the cold winter, a meal can warm your body and heart.
Ma Cuilian was so hot from eating that she even took off her outer jacket. She said with emotion: "Old people used to say that after eating goat intestines, you don't need to wear clothes, but we didn't believe it. Now that I have eaten it myself, I finally know how warm it is for the body."
At this time, the people eating in the yard didn't know that there were two people lying under the wall outside the yard.
Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying smelled the scent and came over, squatting at the foot of the wall.
Lu Wenbai frowned, squinted his eyes and smoked his pipe one puff after another.
Zhang Biying said bitterly: "It's really capitalist style. The villagers can't even find wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, but they can still eat fish, meat, mutton and sheep intestines."
She poked Lu Wenbo twice, "Lu Laosan, do you think it's okay for us to report their capitalist practices now?"
Lu Wenbo glared at her, "What are you reporting? Do you want to be caught as an example? They are eating what they earn legitimately. They didn't eat your food or drink your drinks. What the hell are you reporting!"
Lu Wenbo said this not because he was not jealous, but simply because he was scared by the study and struggle during this period.
He said to Zhang Biying with a depressed look, "Let's go, go back! If you keep lying here, someone will hit you with a broom, you deserve it!"
Zhang Biying swallowed reluctantly.
Lu Kai braised a chicken for them tonight, but the chicken was so skinny that there was only a few pounds of meat, not even enough to fill a gap between teeth. How could it compare to mutton?
Zhang Biying followed Lu Wenbo home, cursing.
When she reached the door of Lu Wu's house, she suddenly stopped and sniffed, "Lu Lao San, wait a minute."
As she said that, she grabbed Lu Wenbo and said, "Smell it, is there also the aroma of mutton coming out of the old house?"
Lu Wenbo glared at her angrily, "What are you thinking? Can anyone eat mutton? The boss is so poor that he has to beg in the city. How can he eat mutton?"
"Let me tell you, that little bitch Lin Xiaohui is very good at trying to please Wu Guilan and Shen Jiao. What if Wu Guilan and the others send them mutton?" Zhang Biying said unwillingly.
Lawrence Lu frowned impatiently, “You think the fourth room has given it to the eldest brother, so if you want to ask the eldest brother for it, then go and ask for it. The second brother knows about it anyway, so he won’t give you food, so don’t implicate me.”
Lu Wenbai said this and left.
Zhang Biying rolled her eyes.
The youngest son has been doing well recently and promised to bring back meat for them every day, but the condition is that they don't make trouble for the eldest brother again, otherwise he will jump on the train and leave them alone.
She took a last reluctant look at the gate of Lu Wu's house and left.
She can still distinguish between a full meal and a full meal.

Chen Jiao drank a lot of wine tonight and was already a little tipsy.
Lu Zhengxu drank more than her, but the man seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance and did not look drunk at all.
Lu Zhengxu drove the tractor to take He Qiongzhen, Qian Jin and Zhou Bayi back to the city. Chen Jiao brought the mutton soup and roasted mutton that she had saved in advance and prepared to deliver them to the old lady and Mr. Xu together with the man.
After sending He Qiongzhen and the other two off, Lu Zhengxu drove a tractor to Xishan Village.
But in order not to attract attention, he stopped the tractor outside the village, and walked quietly into Shanxi Village and into the grove with Chen Jiao.
When the two arrived, the old lady was holding a wintersweet flower that she had picked from somewhere and putting it into a somewhat broken earthenware jar on the table.
The originally broken earthenware jar took on a different flavor against the backdrop of the fragrant yellow wintersweet.
"Master." Shen Jiao said.
The old lady turned to look at her, a flash of joy in her eyes, and then she was full of impatience, "Why are you here again? Are you annoying? Can you let me have a few days of peace and quiet?
I told you that if you think work is not tiring enough, you can spend more time in bed with Lu Xiaozi at night and have two more babies to take care of, so that you won't have too much energy all day long and have to come to an old woman like me to release it. ”
Shen Jiao didn't care about the old lady's dislike at all.
She put the bag in her hand directly on the table and said, "Master, I made mutton soup and roasted mutton today. I'll heat it up for you to try."
Chen Jiao said this and went to heat up the dishes as if she knew the place well.
She heated it up and served it.
Mr. Xu and the old lady were already sitting at the table.
"Hmm~~~" Mr. Xu took a bite and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, Jiaojiao's cooking skills are getting better and better. Eating mutton and drinking mutton soup in winter is warm and refreshing."
Chen Jiao quickly poured a glass of wine for Mr. Xu, "Master, it will be more refreshing for you to drink this wine."
Mr. Xu took a sip of the wine and immediately narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. "It tastes mellow and soft, with a strong sauce aroma. Girl, where did you get the Moutai?"
Chen Jiao smiled and said, "I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative when it was leaking."
In fact, she bought this wine from Lai Fengxia. Ever since Lai Fengxia started doing business with her, she has become famous in the oil press factory.
Whenever people in the compound received any good gifts, they would ask Lai Fengxia for help, so Chen Jiao also bought a lot of good things from Lai Fengxia.
Mr. Xu was full of praise here.
The old lady put her chopsticks on the table and said with a cold and dissatisfied face: "Mutton soup should be eaten fresh. What's so delicious about the one you heated up once?
Don't show off your treasures here, just leave now. ”
Chen Jiao looked at the old lady's face and knew that if she didn't leave, the old lady would really be angry.
"Master, Grandmaster, we'll leave first. I'll come to see you again in two days." Chen Jiao was not angry. She still greeted them politely before leaving.
After Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu left, Old Xu looked at the old lady helplessly and said, "Old lady, why are you doing this? Chen Jiao is a good child. Last time she said she would take care of us until the end of our lives. Why do you keep hurting her heart again and again?"
The old lady glared at Mr. Xu with a cold face, "She said she would take care of you until the end of your life, and you believed her?"
After questioning Mr. Xu, the old lady lowered her head and picked up a piece of lamb intestine, which was stewed very soft and glutinous.
Even though her teeth are bad, she has no difficulty eating.
While eating, she muttered quietly: "Don't you think about whether you deserve someone to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life?"
When Mr. Xu heard her muttering, he stopped talking.
The old lady was worried that her identity would bring harm to the child Shen Jiao, so she drove the child away again and again.
He sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do; this was the current situation.
Ordinary people like them have no ability to change things.
