Just as the family finished their work, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, the wontons are ready. Can I bring them in?"
Old Man Guo hurried over and opened the door.
Ye Laosan was holding a panel with five bowls of wontons on it.
Wontons in the shape of gold ingots with thin skin and large fillings float in the light brown soup, garnished with a little green chopped green onions.
The hot aroma immediately spread throughout the house, making the whole family swallow their saliva.
Mrs. Ye followed behind and said, "Everyone, hurry up and eat while it's hot. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll make more. Don't be polite, the wontons will keep you full."
After putting down the wontons, Ye Laosan and his wife left, closing the door for them before leaving.
After all, although the Ye family is well-off, they don’t have that many rich cotton-padded clothes.
The Guo family members now basically wear padded jackets.
It’s okay to stay in the house, but if you go out you’ll be frozen straight away.
Mrs. Guo looked at the wontons in the bowl and muttered before she even ate them, "Look, the wonton wrappers are all made of white flour!
"This family really doesn't know how to live. They don't know how to save the money they earn, and they just want to eat it all.
"That's right. After all, the money is earned by the son-in-law. What good would it do them to save it? Of course, it would be more cost-effective to eat it up quickly before the family division..."
Guo Shijie couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Mom, if you don't eat wontons, you're going to get bloated."
Only then did Mrs. Guo scoop up the wonton with a spoon and take a bite.
Before I could swallow the food in my mouth, Mrs. Guo started again.
"Hey, look quickly, these wontons are filled with meat.
"Look at this stuffing, how solid it is!
“It looks like there’s more meat and less vegetables!
"What did the third daughter-in-law say before she left? All the wontons you can have?
"Oh my god, it's not my own money, I really don't feel sorry for it!"
The other four people were busy eating the delicious, hot wontons, but Mrs. Guo had a hard time eating.
She was almost heartbroken, feeling that what she was eating was not meat-filled wontons at all, but her own daughter's money.
"What's wrong with this child Fengying?
"I gave her so many instructions before she got married, but she's probably forgotten them all!"
The two children finished all the wontons in their bowls first, even drinking up all the soup, but still felt it was not enough, so they stared at Mrs. Guo's bowl eagerly.
Why doesn’t grandma eat?
If you don’t want to eat it, can you give it to us?
Seeing this, Old Man Guo asked, "Are you still going to eat? If not, give your bowl to the children.
"You ate quite a bit last night anyway, so you won't be hungry if you skip a meal this morning."
"Who said I don't want to eat anymore!" Old Mrs. Guo quickly protected the bowl in front of her, but when she saw the regretful looks in her grandchildren's eyes, she suddenly stood up and said, "I'll ask the third daughter-in-law to cook a few more bowls for us."
Old Man Guo was startled and quickly grabbed her sleeve and said, "That's enough. Aren't you full with such a big bowl of wontons with meat broth and meat filling?
"It's already this late, it's almost time to eat something, it will be lunch soon."
Mrs. Guo refused to give up and said, "You have to understand that we are not eating out from the Ye family, we are eating out from our son-in-law's money.
"Instead of letting them eat it all, we might as well eat more ourselves, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"
After several decades, Old Man Guo knew his wife too well. Fearing that she would speak harshly and offend others, he quickly stood up and forced her to sit down.
"Just eat your wontons. I'll go talk to you."
Mrs. Guo thought about it and it made sense. If she didn't eat it now, the wonton skin would become soft and no longer taste good.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Old Man Guo went out to find Third Sister-in-law Ye and rubbed his hands embarrassedly, saying, "Third Wife, I'm so sorry to bother you again. The two children haven't eaten such delicious wontons in a long time. They're a little hungry. I wonder if you can cook some more for us..."
Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes furiously in her heart, but on the surface she said amiably, "Okay, Uncle Guo, I'll make another bowl for each of you."
“No, no!” Old Man Guo waved his hands frantically, “Just cook two more bowls.”
He thought to himself that he and his son would not eat it.
Cook two bowls and give one bowl to the two grandsons. It will definitely be enough for them. They are just greedy and their stomachs are not that big.
The other bowl must be given to my wife, otherwise no one knows what kind of trouble she will cause.
"Okay, I'll go cook it for you right away." Mrs. Ye San took some more frozen wontons from the jar and went into the kitchen. Soon, she brought two large bowls of cooked wontons into the west room.
As soon as she came out of the west room, she went straight to the east room to complain to Old Mrs. Ye.
"Mom, Aunt Guo is really amazing.
"Uncle Guo just said the children weren't full, so I said I'd cook another bowl of wontons for each of you.
"Is what I said correct? After all, if even the children aren't full, the adults must be even less so.
"Uncle Guo insisted that two more bowls would be enough, but I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so I grabbed a handful of more wontons and put them in the pot.
"I just went to the west room to deliver wontons, but Aunt Guo rolled her eyes at me and said, 'These are the only wontons left?
"What does she mean by that? Does she think our family can't afford to feed her? Or does she think I'm too stingy?"
Mrs. Ye San became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and finally she just stood up and walked out.
"I'll go cook all the wontons in the jar right now. If she can't finish them, I'll let her eat wontons three times a day!"
"That's enough!" said Old Madam Ye, "She's just that kind of person. Who knows what kind of crazy thing she might do!
