Let’s talk about the old house.
When Lin Mei brought the leek box to her uncle's house, they were having dinner. They made leek buns with the leeks cut from her house that morning, but her aunt didn't want to put eggs in them, so they made it with pure leeks and cornmeal.
If Li Yu were here, he would probably complain to himself, "Mmm, I thought everyone here had two meals a day, but I didn't expect that only my family had two meals a day."
Lin Mei's grandfather, Old Man Lin, and grandmother, Old Lady Yang, were the first to see her and asked, "Meimei, why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten yet? Is there anything wrong with your mother? Your aunt just finished steaming some buns. Come and eat some before you go back."
Lin Mei replied, "Grandma and Grandma, I will go back to eat in a while. My mother just made some pancakes with leeks and asked me to bring them over for you to try. Take your time eating, I will go back to eat." She said she was going to run away, she wanted to go back to eat the delicious food her mother made, and she didn't want to chat with her grandparents about family matters. The old people are talkative as they get older.
I didn't notice that Zhong was still holding a few buns in her hand, and when she went out, Lin Mei was no longer there.
Mrs. Zhong returned to the dinner table and kept saying, "Why has my second brother's wife changed since she woke up? She wasn't like this before."
Uncle Lin Ziming said, "Alright, alright, the food we give you can't stop you from eating. Come on and eat."
Of course, the younger generations would not say anything bad about Li Yu, and they were smart enough to keep silent.
Grandma Lin said, "Maybe she's finally figured it out. She used to be too stubborn. It's only herself and her children who have to endure the hardships, and she doesn't want help from others. Come and try what she cooks. It smells good."
As he spoke, he took the lead in picking up one for the old man, then picked up one for himself and said, "Share and try. I saw that the second son's wife brought a lot. And Ah Fei and Ah Jie, try the food made by your second aunt. Your second aunt is from the Marquis' Mansion.
I remember that she cooked good food when your second uncle was still alive, but I don’t know how she is doing now. Oh! Life is so hard.”
When Lin Jie, the youngest son of Uncle Lin, tasted the chive dumplings for the first time, he was attracted by its unique flavor.
The leek box has a golden and crispy outer skin, and the filling is fresh and tender, exuding a rich leek fragrance. Take a bite, and the delicious juice of the filling mixed with the crispy outer skin will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.
Lin Jie said, "Grandma, the chive pancakes made by Second Aunt are really delicious. I didn't expect Second Aunt to be so good at cooking."
Old Mrs. Yang also thought it was delicious, but she wouldn't show it like Lin Jie did. There was an indescribable distress in her voice, "They used so much oil and eggs. The second son's family used to be very frugal. How come they are so unrestrained after recovering from the illness?
That kid from He is still taking medicine every month. If he keeps spending this much, the food at home will be gone in a few more meals. How will he live in the future?"
Old man Lin felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. The old couple had been worried about Lin He's health. Lin He had been handsome and smart since he was a child, but he did not have a good body.
But they were powerless. They had separated long ago, and they lived with their eldest son and his wife, so they couldn't help.
The old lady could hardly eat anymore. In the end, she was still worried about her grandson's health.
Uncle Lin finished a whole leek dumpling in just a few bites, wiped his mouth, smacked his lips twice, and looked like he wasn't very satisfied.
But he wouldn't say anything. After all, it was a gift from someone else, so it was good enough that he could have a few bites.
He turned to Zhong and said, "After dinner, when you have some free time in the afternoon, go over to Hai Ge'er's house and see if your sister-in-law needs any help." Zhong nodded and understood.
Everyone buried their heads in eating again
Let’s not talk about how Uncle Lin and his family discussed Li Yu.
Take Li Yu’s house for example. Yang Liu went to call the three brothers back for dinner.
The whole family was now sitting at the dinner table. Li Yu had even made a mushroom and vegetable soup using the mushrooms he had picked up in the mountains that morning.
A large bowl of soup and a large bowl of chive dumplings. Li Yu planned to let them eat as much as they wanted.
After everything was served on the table, Li Yu spoke, "Hurry up and eat. Eat as much as you want today. After eating, we'll discuss things. Don't go to the fields this afternoon. Let's go when it's cooler. Let's all try my cooking."
Yang and Lin Mei served everyone another bowl of soup, and everyone started eating without saying anything else.
Lin He took a bite first. Li Yu saw his eyes light up. After swallowing it, he whispered to Li Yu, "Mom, it's delicious. This is the first time I've eaten leek pancakes made by you in my life."
Li Yu knew the original owner had never made chive dumplings before, but she was a decent cook. It was just that with her husband gone, she had to manage the farm and cook, so she definitely didn't put in the effort. She was just thankful she had enough to eat.
Thinking of this, she also spoke, "Before your father passed away, there was nothing good at home. Also, Mom was too busy at that time and had no time to prepare food for you.
Now it’s okay, I’ve figured it out. You can’t keep fighting like this. I’ll make sure you live a good life.”
Seeing everyone's eyes were red, Li Yu felt bad too.
At this time, Xiaobao responded, "I believe grandma."
Everyone quickly echoed, "We all believe in our mother."
