Chapter 37: A Little Cute
Goudan scratched his head and grinned, "I'm the older brother."
I have to save the delicious food for my younger brothers and sisters.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Lin Tang didn't agree at all with the older one's argument that the younger one had to give in.
We are all human beings for the first time, so why should the older ones give way to the younger ones?
"Who says that older brothers must give in to their younger siblings? Aren't you also a child? Kong Rong even gave the big pear to his brother.
You are indeed a little older and can take care of your younger brother, but don't put yourself in a difficult position.
If you let these stinky kids develop bad habits and they grow up to suck your blood, how will you be able to live like this?"
Lin Tang didn't care whether Goudan understood or not, and just gave him a lecture.
In the place where she passed through, she once knew such a person.
As the eldest in the family, he has been selflessly making sacrifices since he was a child.
The two younger brothers did not work and did nothing. They were raised to be lazy and only knew how to ask for things from their eldest brother.
After the eldest brother got married, his two younger brothers kept finding ways to make trouble, turning his life into a mess.
In the end, the eldest brother's wife ran away and his son was taken away, ending up with his wife and children separated.
It can be called a human tragedy.
The Lin family has a good foundation, so this situation shouldn't happen.
But, doesn’t Goudan feel wronged?
Goudan was confused, but he knew that his aunt was doing it for his own good, so he opened the candy and ate it.
As the sweet taste entered his mouth, a big smile appeared on the child's face.
"Auntie, the sugar is so sweet!"
Very, very sweet.
Lin Tang rubbed Goudan's little head and said, "Yeah."
Goudan is a good boy and a good brother.
But good children don't have to sacrifice themselves.
Who isn't a baby?
This was just a little incident before dinner.
After Zhou Mei said loudly, "The meal is ready, it's time to eat," everyone in the Lin family started to move.
Those who need to wash their hands wash their hands, those who need to serve the food serve the food, those who need to take chopsticks take chopsticks... their enthusiasm is extremely high.
Li Xiuli came out of the kitchen and saw that everyone was already seated, waiting for her.
Even Lin Qingmu, who delivered meat to the old house, came back.
Li Xiuli smiled and said, "...I've never been so enthusiastic about eating."
It wasn't that he wasn't active in the past, but unlike today, he took the initiative to serve the food and pick up the chopsticks.
It's a rare thing.
Lin Qingmu looked at the meat on the table, swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain!"
Zhou Mei nodded so quickly that her head almost popped out.
Li Xiuli was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Only you can do it!"
"Eat quickly, it's getting late."
The braised pork on the table is bright red in color.
Stack them on the plate one by one, all in the same size.
The cooked juice is hung on the braised pork.
A small portion flows into the plate along the texture of the meat, and it smells tempting.
Li Xiuli scooped a wooden spoon for each of Lin Lu and Lin Tang, and also scooped some for the younger ones in the family.
Looking at his three sons and two daughters-in-law, he said, "I won't divide the food today. You can pick it up among yourselves!"
In the past, there was a shortage of food and cooking was rationed, and the food was distributed by her, the cook.
There will be no division today, let them eat to their heart’s content.
The group of people were stunned for a few seconds.
After coming to their senses, they all reached for the pot of rosy braised pork with their chopsticks.
The cuts of meat weren't that big.
They are all the same size, and each piece looks like it is wrapped in candy.
It looks so tempting.
Lin Qingmu picked up a piece of fat and lean meat, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
He gave me a thumbs up, his face full of amazement.
"Mom, it's delicious! Your cooking skills are amazing.
"You're worthy of being the best cook in our family. Your braised pork is even better than the braised pork in state-owned restaurants," he praised.
He has never been to a state-owned restaurant, but he just thinks his mother's cooking skills are the best.
Li Xiuli was very happy to be coaxed. Suddenly, she saw that her son was no longer annoyed and her weathered face was full of smiles.
But he said, "How can my cooking skills compare to those in state-owned restaurants? They are professional chefs, and what I cook is just edible."
Goudan's mouth was greasy from the food and he retorted, "Milk-made ones are the best."
The other little ones, with meat in their mouths, mumbled, "...Meat cooked with milk is delicious!"
The stinky little egg nodded with juice on his face, "Super delicious!"
"Awooo~ It's delicious!" Niu Niu said softly.
Tiger Head, who was concentrating on eating, said: You have already said everything, what else can I say?
Li Xiuli ate a few pieces and thought they were delicious.
I remembered Tangtang said she had braised pork for lunch today. I really want to know which one is better, my own cooking or the one she ate at her classmate’s house?
She didn't ask directly, but looked at Lin Tang with eager eyes.
It's not just young people who are competitive, older people have it too.
Especially since it concerns her position in Tangtang's heart, Li Xiuli takes it very seriously.
Lin Tang thought about it for a moment and knew what her mother was thinking.
Such a serious and competitive mother is a little cute!
The little girl's eyebrows curved slightly, and she showed it directly with her actions that she had eaten a large piece of meat.
"Mom is amazing, she made it so well the first time, it's delicious!!"
Li Xiuli's mouth curled up with joy, and she felt that the meat was even more fragrant.
The look in his eyes when he looked at his daughter was unusually gentle.
-
After dinner, the Lin family began to discuss raising pigs for tomorrow.
Li Xiuli suggested raising two.
She thinks that raising one is the same as raising two, and it is better to raise two than one.
Lin Qingmu thought he should try raising one first and not take such a big step.
After a debate between the two sides, Lin Tang learned that the village was assigned the task of raising pigs.
Her eyes lit up.
It was as if I saw a smooth white road paved by pigs in front of me.
"Let's raise three." Lin Tang said.
She originally wanted to have five.
But when I thought about the fact that I could only raise three at most in the backyard, I gave up the idea.
"Three, three?" Everyone was surprised.
"Well, three. I read a book about raising pigs, and I think this is an opportunity for our family."
This may be an opportunity for the team.
Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Tang did not say it out loud.
She likes to speak with data.
Once the pigs are grown, the fat on their bodies and the numbers on the scale will tell everything.
Lin Lu took a few puffs of the cigarette he rolled out of waste paper, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes.
He looked at Lin Tang and said, "Just listen to Tang Tang!"
Tangtang is the only high school student in the surrounding villages.
What she said must make sense.
If they can really be trained, they will have more income and the team's life will be better.
Li Xiuli was surprised that Tangtang had read a book on pig farming.
I am more confident about the future pig farming plan.
"Tangtang, then our pig will be handed over to you."
"If there's any heavy work to do, just call your three brothers and don't tire yourself out."
Lin Tang smiled, looked at Lin Qingmu and the other two, and bowed playfully.
Not shy at all, "Then I'll trouble you brothers."
The Lin brothers were originally still lost in the melancholy that the three of them were insignificant.
As soon as I heard my sister speak, my spirits instantly lifted.
