Chapter 73 The neighbors are crying with envy
The family earns work points but can barely get enough to eat, so why bother about so many things?
Besides, she always remembered that her parents, brothers and sister-in-law had to eat coarse food to support her schooling.
"Mom, I know."
"But you and my father are my biological parents. I can't eat meat while you eat bran and vegetables."
"I know my limits. Once our family's life gets better, I won't care anymore."
Lin Tang persuaded him a few words.
My family has protected and spoiled me since I was a child.
Otherwise she wouldn't be so defenseless.
Li Xiuli met her daughter's stubborn eyes and sighed in her heart.
Such a soft-hearted girl.
Well then!
At worst, she can just give her family more warnings in the future.
“…Just know it.”
Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei felt indescribable when they heard the conversation between their mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
I feel that all the efforts over the years are worth it.
Because of the fact that they paid for their sister-in-law's schooling, there were people in the team who gossiped about them and secretly said that they were stupid.
But now, whether it is stupid or not, time has given the answer.
When Lin Lu arrived home, Li Xiuli had just taken out the noodles.
One bowl per person.
The sauce is made of potato and black fungus, with green vegetables floating on top.
It smells so good.
After the noodles were ready, Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei brought dinner to the yard together.
A plate of stir-fried lamb with green onions, a dish of spicy and sour cabbage, a bowl of steamed buns, and a spinach and egg soup.
Looking at the food, the Lin family members stared with wide eyes.
Oh my goodness, this meal is even more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year meal.
What a treat!
Something great happened at home today.
Li Xiuli was generous for once and took out some old wine that she had saved for a long time.
"I'm happy today, let's have a drink."
When Lin Lu saw the small jar in her hand, her eyes lit up.
"It's time for a drink!"
I haven't tasted this for a long time, and I miss it so much.
The three Lin Qingshan brothers were also looking forward to it.
With wine, meat and white noodles, this day has reached its peak.
"Mom, can you pour me a sip?" Lin Tang blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Li's mother eagerly.
This is the old wine at home, it should taste good.
Li Xiuli's hand holding the wine jar froze, and she wanted to refuse.
But looking at Tangtang's eyes that were as bright as the sun, he couldn't bear to say the words of rejection.
"...Okay, this wine is a bit strong, just take a sip."
As he said that, he really poured her an amount that was big enough for her to take a sip.
When you pick up the small wooden bowl and look at it, you can hardly see any liquid flowing.
Lin Qingmu saw it, and then looked at his sister's confused face and almost burst out laughing.
However, considering Tangtang's face, he turned his face to the side, and his shoulders trembled.
"Mom, pour some more. I can't even see it." Lin Tang smiled helplessly.
"It's quite a bit, so just try it. Don't pass out in one gulp. When you're twenty, I'll pour you more. Be obedient!"
Lin Tang: “…”
To be honest, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Not to mention a mouthful, even a whole jar wouldn't make you lose your tongue.
only.
Seeing his mother's eyes that left no room for bargaining, Lin Tang immediately gave up struggling.
Forget it, it tastes good enough.
The family happily enjoyed a meal of meat, vegetables and buns from a state-owned restaurant, feeling as satisfied as if they had eaten a great meal.
Hulala...
So happy!
Next door, the Qi family.
Qi Dafa sniffed his nose, and was so intoxicated by the fragrance in the air that his saliva almost fell to the ground.
This is especially true for the three grandsons.
His little nose sniffed the fragrance, and streams of transparent saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The boys didn't make any noise and looked happy as they smelled the scent.
"Brother, it smells so good!" Qi Yaohua said, sucking his saliva.
"Yeah, I don't know when we can have a good meal of meat."
Qi Jiahua looked a little intoxicated, and his mouth watered even more as he imagined the taste of the meat.
The two people speaking were Qi Dafa's eldest grandson and second grandson.
Qi Dafa has two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son is named Qi Xiangdong, the second son is Qi Xiangxi, and the daughter is named Qi Xianghong.
Qi Xiangdong has two sons named Qi Jiahua and Qi Yaohua, and Qi Xiangxi has a son named Qi Weijie.
Qi Xianghong had already married into the next commune.
When Qi Weijie heard what his two brothers said, a silly smile appeared on his face.
"When the piglets grow up, we can eat meat!"
"Chinese New Year!" Qi Yaohua sighed, "That's still a long time away."
Qi Dafa felt sad when he saw the longing eyes of his three grandsons.
It's because they are incompetent as adults.
He also made his grandson envy his neighbors for having good food and drink.
"...Tomorrow, ask your grandma to buy you half a pound of meat to satisfy your cravings." Qi Dafa rubbed his grandson's head and said through gritted teeth.
The three boys were overjoyed, and their dark and thin faces brightened up.
"Master, is it true?"
"Are we going to have meat tomorrow?"
"Master, do we have any money left? If not, we won't eat."
Qi Dafa felt indescribable in his heart and nodded affirmatively.
"If you have money, you can cut meat tomorrow!"
A few cents of meat will not bankrupt your family.
When Qi Jiahua and his friends laughed, the gluttony in their stomachs growled even louder.
Pinching his nose, he took his grandfather's hand and went to the kitchen to find his grandmother.
The Qi family was so greedy that they planned to sell their meat tomorrow.
The Lin family's neighbors on the other side, the Wang family, were almost driven crazy by the smell of meat.
Wang Jinbao slammed the table and shouted, "I want to eat meat!!!"
Wang Zhaodi swallowed and looked at Wu Chunhua expectantly.
She wants to eat meat too.
Although she could only eat a few pieces every time her mother bought meat, it was okay as long as she had the taste of meat.
The damn Lin Tang can actually eat meat without fear of choking to death.
Wu Chunhua felt suffocated.
Eat meat?
Who doesn't want to eat meat?
There are only three people in the family earning work points. We don’t even have food to eat, so how can we eat meat?
She wanted to lose her temper and curse, but the person crying in front of her was her beloved son, so Wu Chunhua could only suppress her anger and persuade him.
"Jinbao, just bear with it for now. I'll cut some meat for you in a few days, okay?"
"No, I want to eat today." Wang Jinbao continued to cry.
Wu Chunhua felt a headache and consoled herself, "How about I steam an egg for you?"
There were only a few eggs at home, and she was thinking of exchanging them for something in a couple of days.
Wang Jinbao's crying stopped abruptly.
Holding up two fingers, "I want two eggs."
As he said this, he looked at her eagerly.
It seemed as if he would continue to cry out loud as long as she refused.
Wu Chunhua just wanted her son to calm down, so she endured the pain and nodded, "Okay."
Wang Zhaodi listened on the side, licked her lips and swallowed hard.
She hasn't tasted eggs in almost a year.
When he thought of Lin Tang eating meat next door, he felt a little unfair.
Why don’t you choke those people from the Lin family to death?
Wang Zhaodi was cursing viciously in her heart, so she naturally didn't hear what Wu Chunhua told her.
Wu Chunhua's face turned serious and he slapped her on the back.
"You little bitch, are you getting more and more courageous?"
"You don't even listen to me now, what do you want to do? Are you planning a rebellion?"
