I fried tomato and egg with rice, and used the leftover bacon from Chinese New Year to make fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
It was the first time they had seen tomatoes and eggs fried together, and they stared at the strange combination on the table for a long time.
“Is this really edible?”
"It's neither salty nor sweet, how do you eat it?"
Ye Xiaozhen picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then smiled at them and said, "It's delicious."
Xie Linli rolled his eyes and thought, how can you believe what a fool says?
Only a fool can't put tomatoes and eggs together.
Ye Xiaozhen saw her brother's little movement, but ignored him and directly picked up some and put it in Lin Xinghua's bowl.
"Grandpa, eat."
Lin Xinghua said cheerfully, "Hey, Grandpa, eat."
Lin Xinghua took a big bite and immediately gave a thumbs up, saying, "Well, Xiaozhen's cooking is good. It's really delicious."
"Really? Let me try it too." Xie Linqi also took a bite with his chopsticks.
He put it in his mouth and tasted it, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's really delicious, sister-in-law, you are amazing."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled foolishly at him.
Xie Linli curled his lips and said, "Can this really be delicious?"
"Brother, you will know once you try it."
Xie Linli took a piece of food with chopsticks suspiciously and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good, not as sweet or salty as he had imagined.
Xie Linqi looked at him expectantly, "Brother 괗, how is it? Is it good?"
The taste was good, but Xie Linli was unwilling to accept it and wanted to save face, so he just said lightly: "It's a bit like that, very sour."
Although he said this, he ate a lot and the soup even soaked his rice.
…
When Sun Qing heard that Xie Linan had left, he quickly told Ye Zhengguo.
"Xie Linan has gone to the dam. Let's go get the disability certificate while he's away. We need it to claim the subsidy next month."
"Wait a minute, are his two little ones still at home?"
Sun Qing thought for a moment and said, "The two little ones have to go to school. I'll go see if they've left."
"Okay, you go take a look first, and we'll go after they leave."
"good."
Sun Qing hurried to the village to inquire.
Not long after she left, Ye Xiaoqiang came in, "Huh? Where's my mom?"
"Your mother is out, what do you want to do with her?"
Ye Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Dad, give me some money. I want to go play with Cuiping."
"Didn't I just give you a hundred dollars a day ago? It's been less than three days, and you've spent it all?"
"How can one hundred yuan be spent? There are only Cuiping and I."
Ye Zhengguo was unhappy and said, "That's too much money. I don't think we can keep Cuiping."
"Oh, Dad, Cuiping is from the city. A hundred yuan is nothing to us. Cuiping's parents are both employed, her brother is a college student, and her relatives and friends are all in the city, and each family is richer than the other.
If I marry her, what will I have in the future? A job, money, a city hukou, a city house. Not only will your son and I become city dwellers, but your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will all be city dwellers. I will also bring you and mother to the city to enjoy a good life, and you will also become city dwellers. No matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss.”
Ye Zhengguo was so dazed by the big cake he stuffed into his mouth that he smiled with his big teeth showing. He praised my son for his ability and gave him a hundred yuan.
"We are not afraid of spending money, but you have to hurry up and settle the marriage as soon as possible and get the marriage certificate."
"Oh, Dad, how can I do this so quickly? I won't be 10 years old until next year, and they won't give me the certificate if I'm one year short."
Does that mean I have to coax her for another year? Ye Zhengguo couldn't laugh much.
"Then you should save some money. Your eldest sister's betrothal gift of one thousand was gone, and you only got one hundred. There is not much money left in the family."
Ye Xiaoqiang pouted, "Can the betrothal gift disappear just like that? It was agreed to be one thousand, but in the end only one hundred was given. There is no such a good thing under the law. You and mother went to his house to make trouble. If Lin Laoguai refused to give it, you sat at the gate of his house and cried. Although Xie Linan is not easy to mess with, Lin Laoguai is a scumbag, so he is not afraid that they will not give it."
Um?
Ye Zhengguo thought it made sense.
When I go to their house later, it won't be enough to just get the disability certificate. I'll also have to ask them to pay the betrothal gift.
…
After dinner, Xie Linan’s two younger brothers packed their schoolbags and clothes and went to school.
Lin Xinghua called them over and gave each of them a bag of rice to exchange for meal tickets, and another gave five yuan to buy vegetable tickets, which was enough living expenses for a week.
The conditions were good in that era, and they even had a jar of home-pickled radishes in their bags.
After giving them the things, Lin Xinghua kept reminding them, "You must study hard. Your eldest brother dropped out of school to support you. It has always been his regret that you didn't have the opportunity to go to college. He worked so hard to make money just so that you could go to college."
"Grandpa, we get it. Please stop talking about it every week."
"Okay, I won't nag you. Just let me know. Come on, I'll take you to the main road."
"Don't send me off. Your legs are not convenient. We can go by ourselves."
"It's not a big deal if it's not here yet, let's go."
He still had to see them get on the car before he felt at ease.
The two of them looked helpless, unable to persuade him, so they could only follow him.
As soon as they left the village, Sun Qing hurried back to find Ye Zhengguo.
"A good opportunity has come. The old man sent his two grandchildren away, and now the dead girl is alone at home. It's a good time for us to go find her."
Ye Zhengguo nodded repeatedly, "Let's go now. Not only do we have to get the disability certificate back, we also have to get back the 900 yuan that Lin Laoguai owes us."
Sun Qing was stunned. "He still owes us 900 yuan?"
"Of course not. Didn't you say so? He promised to give us 1,000, but he only gave us 100. Doesn't he still owe us 900?"
ah?
Is this okay?
"That... you have a point. Since we still need 900 yuan, let's go later."
"Why does it take a while?"
"Lin Laoguai has sent his two grandchildren to school. If he is not at home, who can we ask for money? That dead girl is a fool. How can she have money?"
Ye Zhengguo: "..."
"That's right. Let's go first and wait under the big locust tree. We'll go after we see Lin Laoguai come back."
"Okay."
…
Ye Xiaozhen took advantage of the fact that no one was at home, went to the bedroom, locked the door, and then went into the kitchen to stir.
Except for steamed buns, everything here is too advanced and obviously inappropriate to be taken out. She can't find a suitable reason to eat these things, so she can only digest them by herself.
That’s good too. This body is too thin and it’s just right to replenish it.
She was afraid that the fruit would go bad, so she had to eat it as soon as possible.
Let’s start with lychees, which are the most susceptible to spoilage.
Ye Xiaozhen showed off a box of lychees and drank a box of cooling tea when she heard some noise coming from outside.
It seems that grandpa has come back.
She hurriedly took out the things back to the kitchen, then opened the door and went out.
"Xiaozhen, why did you come out? Didn't you say you needed to stay in bed and rest?"
Ye Xiaozhen said: "Grandpa, I'm fine now, I'm not tired anymore."
"Oh, you kid."
