Chen Chen walked to the town that afternoon and did not even wait for the ox cart the next morning.
He has money and gives his family a fixed allowance every month, but because of the special nature of his unit, he often carries out dangerous missions.
So he always received a lot of bonuses, and since he was injured this time, the money given by the army was also in his hands.
After Chen Chen arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he just thought of buying her something suitable to eat.
When he came out, he was already holding a big bag of things, such as egg cake, malted milk, brown sugar... If the supply and marketing cooperative in town had not been unable to buy milk powder, he would have bought two cans of milk powder.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he went to the black market for a stroll. It was said that beef was very nutritious, so even though it was much more expensive than pork, he bought it without blinking an eye.
Because the whole family still lives together, if he cooks the meat alone, it will not be tasty, so he finally bought ten kilograms of pork.
By the time he returned home with a full basket on his back, it was almost time to get off work.
Because he was afraid of meeting others on the road, he could only suppress his urgency and wait until late at night.
When the Chen family returned home and saw the large piece of pork in the kitchen, they rubbed their hands excitedly. It had been a month since they had touched any greasy food.
Only Wang Yan glared at him, feeling sorry for his wasteful spending, but since he had already bought the things, and looking at the eager looks on the faces of his grandchildren, she couldn't bear to say anything.
Chen Cong smiled and flattered, "Mom, let's make braised pork tonight. Mom's braised pork is the best in the world. It makes your tongue fall off when you eat it!"
When the little ones heard this, they also joined in the fun, "Grandma, braised pork!"
"Braised pork! Braised pork!"
Wang Yan laughed and scolded, "You're the only one who knows how to eat!"
But in the end I still cut half of the meat to make braised pork, and marinated the rest with coarse salt. I will use it to smear the bottom of the pan when cooking in the future, which will also give it a meaty taste.
Zhou Lanhua took advantage of no one's attention and pulled Chen Cong back into the house. She asked unhappily, "Did the third brother still have money hidden? Didn't he say he would give it all to mother? How come he still has money to buy meat?"
Chen Cong chuckled and said jokingly, "How would I know? Why don't you go out and ask your mother what's going on?"
Zhou Lanhua didn't have the courage to do that. She still remembered clearly the slaps Wang Yan gave her last time. She went to find Chen Cong just to ask him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Cong also remembered the slap from his mother so clearly that he didn't dare to bring bad luck upon himself.
Zhou Lanhua stomped and kicked him fiercely, complaining, "Why did I find such a coward like you!"
Chen Cong looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. No matter what you said, I would remain motionless.
Chen Chen saw that he and his mother were the only ones left in the kitchen, so he walked over hesitantly with a lunch box in his hand.
He said a little embarrassedly, "Mom, please pick out the ones with more lean meat and pack some for me later."
Wang Yan took the lunch box and showed an expression that said "I understand, I understand", then lowered her head to cook without saying a word.
Chen Chen was very happy that his mother didn't ask too many questions, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say.
But before he sat down, Wang Yan said, not knowing whether to ask him or to herself, "It turns out Xu Zhiqing doesn't like eating fatty meat!"
This sentence made Chen Chen freeze in his tracks, his face flushed red. It’s enough for you to know it, why do you have to say it out loud!!!
When the dishes were out of the pot, Wang Yan deliberately picked out those with more lean meat, filled a lunch box with them, and put it aside.
By the time she brought the dishes to the table, the whole family was so eager that their necks were stretched out in anticipation, and the children were drooling.
The Chen family's life is relatively good in the village. Now that it has become like this, one can imagine how other families are doing.
Wang Yan looked at Zhou Lanhua, staring at the plate in her hand with shining eyes and eager to try. She curled the corners of her mouth coldly and took out another pair of chopsticks from behind her.
Ever since she packed the meat and took it back to her parents' home last time, Wang Yan had been on guard against her doing it again.
So this time, Wang Yan distributed the braised pork directly to each person, personally holding the chopsticks and dividing it according to the number of people.
Each adult got three pieces of shiny, trembling meat, and each of the three children got two pieces. They didn't miss the remaining soup either, and each scooped a spoonful of it. It was best eaten with rice.
Zhou Lanhua was shocked by her mother-in-law's action. How could she send meat to her parents' home like this?
She looked at Chen Cong expectantly, hoping to get two pieces of meat from him, but Chen Cong didn't even look at her. He turned around and lowered his head to eat his rice.
She put on a smile again and looked at Chen Jiajun, negotiating, "Son, you have two pieces of meat, how about giving one to your cousin?"
"My cousin hasn't eaten meat for several months. He's so skinny. You're the older brother, you have to take care of him!"
Chen Jiajun didn't give his mother any face at all and said, "How could that be? Didn't you give him rabbit meat from home last time?"
The smile on Zhou Lanhua's face froze. When Chen Jianghe was about to speak while she was asking the child for meat, Wang Yan slammed the bowl hard and scolded him, "Shut up and eat!"
Chen Jianghe looked at his wife, who was as if he would sew her mouth shut if she dared to open her mouth, and then he weakly closed his mouth and ate.
Wang Yan looked at Zhou Lanhua and sneered in her heart, "Aren't you filial? You send the leftovers from your mouth to your mother's family!"
Chen Chen ate the meal absentmindedly, hoping that time would pass quickly so that he could go and deliver the things when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
After waiting for a long time until around eight o'clock, when every household had turned off the lights and gone to bed, Chen Chen went out with a still warm lunch box.
Xu Miaomiao was a little tired because she had been working in the space all afternoon, so she prepared to go to bed early, which was rare.
Suddenly she heard the sound of a lion hitting the glass at the door and sat up in confusion.
I wondered if those people I offended wanted to smash my glass to get revenge on me?
Xu Miaomiao thought that everyone in the yard was there at the moment, so there was nothing to be afraid of, so she simply went downstairs, opened the door and saw who it was.
When she opened the door, there was no one outside, only a lunch box lying there quietly.
Xu Miaomiao curled the corners of his lips in pleasure. Mr. Tianluo is back in action.
Xu Miaomiao knew that the man must be hiding somewhere watching her, so she simply picked up her lunch box and went back to the house.
Chen Chen was indeed squatting in the shadows watching. After seeing people pack up their things, he walked back home briskly.
But who could explain to him what was happening with the lunch box lying at the doorstep? The meat inside was untouched!
Xu Miaomiao hid in the distance, looking at the lost and angry expression on his face, and her heart was filled with joy.
You deserve it! I let you reject me! I will ignore you!
Because Chen Jianghe was also frightened by her sudden fainting that day, he simply gave her a few days off.
So these days, whenever Chen Chen sent her something at night, she would send it back to him the next day when everyone else had gone to work.
Chen Chen looked at the returned items, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could have pinched a mosquito to death.
