Chapter 142: A package is received at home
Compared to the chicken, Lin Xia liked the mushrooms more. They were full of the flavor of the chicken soup, and with their own aroma and taste, she ate several in a row before stopping.
Lu Yuxiu was eating so much that he didn't even raise his head. The little guy's mouth was full of oil and his belly was bulging, but he didn't plan to stop.
"Are there people in our military region who often go to Guangcheng?" Lin Xia ate a piece of sausage and thought of something.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you still want to eat sausages?" Lin Xia asked, pointing at the sausages.
This was bought in Guangcheng the last time she came. There was only this last plate of sausages left, but there was still some bacon left. There was no other way, if you wanted to eat pork these days you had to get a ticket, but cooked meat like bacon, sausages, and canned meat did not require a meat ticket.
With two people in the family loving meat so much, Lin Xia could only think of a way. She had thought about going to the black market before, but after the last incident with Zhang Sixi, she realized that there might be someone secretly watching the house.
Anyway, you have money, so if you want to eat meat, just come and have fun.
Lu Yuxiu understood immediately. He had never thought that sausages were so delicious before. He immediately said, "Okay, I'll ask him to help bring some back. I asked him to help with the milk bottles before."
When Lin Xia heard that it was the comrade who had helped carry the bottle before, she felt embarrassed to bother him twice, "Is he married?"
If you are married, then give him something to thank him. If you are not married, then just invite him to dinner.
"I'm not married yet, but I don't know if I have a partner."
Lin Xia finally made the decision, "Then let's invite him to dinner."
......
When Lin's mother Li Shulan came home, she saw a large package on the table and asked her second daughter-in-law in confusion, "What is this?"
"I asked the postman and he said it was sent from Qiongzhou Island. Do you think it was from my little sister?" Wu Fangfang's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Today, she heard a knock on the door at home and received the package. The recipient was Lin's mother.
When she received it, she touched it curiously, but couldn't tell what it was, which made her extremely curious.
When Lin's mother heard that it was sent by her youngest daughter, she was stunned. Her face suddenly showed joy and surprise. She was just reaching out to touch the package when Lin's father's voice came from behind, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
Everyone in the family has returned from get off work.
As soon as Father Lin and his sons entered the door, before they even put down their work gloves, they saw his wife looking at a package. Lin Jianguo also looked curious.
Wang Yanmei thought about it and realized that no one in her family lived far away. Not to mention the relatives at home, it was good enough that they didn't come to borrow some money. The only one who lived far away was her sister-in-law who married far away. It seemed very likely that she sent the money back.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Lin's mother opened the package. Inside was a large cloth bag with a letter on top and various oil paper wrappers underneath.
Father Lin took the letter and read it. Others curiously opened the paper package and saw all kinds of strange things inside. There were notes with names they only recognized: oysters, sea cucumbers, scallops, etc.
As soon as he opened the packages in front, he smelled a strong fishy smell of seafood, which was very uncomfortable. Until he opened the largest package, he smelled a sweet smell before it was even opened. Lin Jianjun opened it curiously and saw something yellow inside.
Seeing that no one else reacted, he thought it must be delicious, so he reached out and took out a piece and put it in his mouth. Before Lin Jianguo could stop him, he saw that his brother had already eaten it.
Lin Jianjun tasted the sweet and sour taste in his mouth and narrowed his eyes. He was right.
After reading the letter, Father Lin saw the whole family, each of them eating a piece of yellow food. He glared at them and said, “You ate without calling me!”
Lin's mother amusedly stuffed a piece into his mouth, and after tasting the flavor in his mouth, Lin's father happily ate it.
Hu Zi was so happy that he drooled while eating.
"Dad, what did the letter say?" Lin Jianjun stopped after eating two pieces and asked his father curiously what was written in the letter.
"It was sent by your younger sister. She said the island is nice, the weather is great, there are lots of fruits and seafood. These are dried seafood. She also wrote in the letter how to eat them. This is dried mango. If you find it delicious, she will send it back."
When Lin Jianjun heard this, he remembered the meals Lin Xia had cooked before. He knew that the fishy things were for food, so he immediately said impatiently, "Let's cook it tonight!"
"You only know how to eat." Mother Lin glared at her son, picked up the paper packages on the table, packed them back as they were and was about to put them in the cupboard.
Lin Jianjun was a little dissatisfied. In fact, everyone else didn't understand why they couldn't eat tonight.
"That thing needs to be soaked before it can be eaten, and it takes several hours. Don't even think about it today." Father Lin waved his hand and explained. The letter was written in great detail. Lin Xia was afraid that they wouldn't know how to make it, so he started by explaining how to soak it.
When everyone heard this, they understood and felt a little disappointed that they couldn't eat it right away.
Seeing that half of the dried mangoes were gone in just a short while, Lin's mother immediately put them away and said, "We're going to have dinner soon, you're not allowed to eat!"
Lin Jianjun quickly grabbed a piece and handed it to his wife, who had been very greedy just now. When Lin's mother saw her second daughter-in-law holding the dried mango, she looked embarrassed but didn't say anything.
She opened the bag again and gave each of them another one, fearing that the items would not be distributed evenly. With two married sons living together, she had to be careful about these little things, lest she would not know if they were resentful one day.
Wang Yanmei saw her son's eyes narrowed with joy while eating, and she felt that her mother-in-law was fair in everything except that she favored her youngest daughter at the beginning.
Mother Lin didn't know what her daughter-in-law was thinking of her. She wanted to go out a little later to visit her eldest daughter.
Grandma Lu also received the package. She has now moved into her son's house and has a neutral relationship with her son's wife, Sun Wanjun. As long as she respects her, she will not interfere too much in their affairs.
She was so happy to receive the package sent by her granddaughter-in-law. Aunt Wang looked at Grandma Lu with a smile on her face, and she was as happy as a little child.
Seeing the letter in the package, he immediately went to find reading glasses for the old lady.
Lin Xia knew that old people would suffer from presbyopia, so she wrote in large letters and used a lot of paper. The letter was thick and detailed, telling the old lady all kinds of interesting things on the island, with the most mentioning how the little guy was doing and how Lu Yuxiu was doing.
Grandma Lu felt both happy and sad. If she were not too old, she would also like to go to the island and live with her grandson.
Sun Wanjun guessed that the package was sent by the old lady's most beloved grandson. She was very curious but did not dare to go forward to take a look.
Grandma Lu and Aunt Wang opened the package together. The contents were written at the end of the letter, and there was also a note inside the package explaining what they were.
Grandma Lu pointed at things and read to Aunt Wang what the letter said. Aunt Wang was also an experienced cook, and as soon as she heard Grandma Lu reading the recipe, she immediately knew what to do.
Mother Wang said hurriedly, "Xiao Xia is so thoughtful. I will make it for you tomorrow!"
Grandma Lu is getting older, so Lin Xia specially collected some nourishing dry goods and sent them back to her, especially fish maw and abalone.
Abalone, sea cucumber and the like are easy to deal with, but fish maw is the fish bladder in the belly of a fish. People haven't discovered its nutritional value yet, so it's either thrown away or eaten. She goes to the village specifically to find people to collect it.
"Great! I just don't know when they will have good news." Grandma Lu was very satisfied, but there was still something on her mind.
She just wanted to see her grandson have his own children, whether boys or girls, a hundred years ago.
