Chapter 85 My Back Hurts
What really made Gu Jin angry and unable to sit still was that they also picked up the vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Because the cabbages grow in the fields, some are sparse and some are dense, and no one wants the sparsely planted field.
Then someone suggested pulling them all out and dividing them by weight.
Gu Jin picked up a stick and rushed over, beating whoever he caught. "Who told you to divide it?"
"Which one let you share?"
"I planted the crops, I watered them, I applied the fertilizer, and you guys are just saying 'ho ho' and 'ho ho' is all mine?"
"You can divide the chickens and kill them. I don't care. You can eat from this vegetable garden if you want. If you dare to pull mine, try it."
"Not all the land in this yard belongs to you."
Wen Tang and Chi Yue stood on both sides to help Gu Jin calm down, fearing that she would make them angry.
Wen Tang couldn't help but say, "The cabbages are in the field. Just pick them when you want to eat them!"
"If we pull them out now and can't finish them, isn't that a waste?"
Chi Yue also said, "It's just like how much of a bargain you can get by taking two more handfuls of greens at this time."
Xu Zhongguo quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Aunt San is right. These vegetables are kept in the vegetable garden. You can eat them together. Whoever wants to eat them can pick them up. You can also enjoy them fresh."
The vegetable garden remains untouched, and the other gardens have basically been divided up.
Everyone left.
Wen Tang also finished eating the melon seeds in his pocket.
Then he let go of Gu Jin's arm and said, "Aunt, we're going back too. Remember to come to our place tomorrow and steam buns with us. Don't forget!"
Gu Jin smiled and nodded.
After Wen Tang and Chi Yue left, the smile on Gu Jin's face disappeared completely.
Because of the division of the family property, all four legs of a stool had to be pulled out and counted, so the Xu family's home was in a complete mess, as if it had been robbed.
Gu Jin sat in the cold courtyard and thought: What's good about having a son?
Everyone said that having a son was a blessing, but she didn't see any blessing in it.
When raising a son when he is young, boys can eat a lot and clothes need more cloth. As parents, you have to save money on clothes and go on a diet, otherwise you cannot raise the child.
After he finally grows up, you have to busy yourself with finding him a wife, otherwise people will laugh at you behind your back and say that you have raised a bachelor son.
After marrying my daughter-in-law, I thought it was the beginning of a life of happiness, but the daughter-in-law also had her own calculations, and in the end, the tree branched out, and they were all afraid that they would get less advantage...
Gu Jin sat at the door of the room as night fell, not even wanting to cook.
Xu Anming came to borrow her stove. "Mom, we didn't get a pot. Can I borrow yours?"
Xu Anming used Gu Jin's pot to stew the piece of chicken that was given to him.
Xu Ansheng borrowed it from Xu Ancheng, and gave an egg to Xu Ancheng's family.
Xu Anming didn't want to give out the egg, so he set his sights on my mother.
It’s not like they haven’t thought about Xu Huaishan.
Xu Huaishan didn't lend money to anyone. He put the chicken in the pot, added water and started to cook.
The chicken was stewing in the pot, and Xu Huaishan went to dig up some flour. He was in his forties and still didn't know how to knead flour.
Since I didn’t know how to knead the dough, I just took a bowl and stirred the dough into lumps.
Wait until the chicken is fragrant and soft.
Xu Huaishan scooped out half of the chicken, covered it tightly with a bowl, and took it back to his room.
Then add the noodles and some green vegetables to the boiling pot.
Old hen soup is very fragrant even without adding anything, not to mention the mixture of the aroma of noodles and vegetables.
Xu Ansheng, who was waiting for the pot outside, drooled at the smell.
Xu Huaishan served out two large bowls of old hen noodle soup.
When Xu Ansheng got married, Zhang Fen also served the chicken noodle soup and came out to say to Xu Ansheng, "Second brother, you and your second sister-in-law can use the pot!"
"I haven't washed the pot yet. If you mind, I'll bring the noodles into the house and wash them."
Xu Ansheng immediately said, "Don't mind, don't mind. If you don't wash it, it still smells like chicken soup!"
"Okay, then you guys can use it, second brother!"
"When you're done, just put the pot away."
"Yeah, okay."
When Xu Ansheng entered the kitchen, he saw his father serving two large bowls of chicken noodle soup. He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help saying, "Dad, you made so many noodles."
Xu Huaishan glanced at him and said, "Isn't it possible for each person to have one bowl?"
Xu Ansheng originally wanted to ask: Who eats it?
I thought of it in a flash, and said, "It seems that my elder brother used my mother's pot, and my mother is still sitting in the yard!"
Xu Huaishan and the others who had cooked first had finished their meals, and Xu Anming had also finished his. His wife Wang Ying directly scooped all the noodles into a large basin.
When Xu Anming left, he asked, "Mom, why don't you cook?"
Gu Jin didn't say a word.
Xu Huaishan held the bowl and glanced at his eldest son with dissatisfaction.
He doesn't care how Xu Anming and his brothers fight with each other.
My mother was sitting next to them and was reluctant to leave even half a bowl of hot rice. Xu Huaishan felt disappointed seeing this.
Even though he was a bad guy in the past, he is definitely not a food-protecting person.
The meals at home are always given first to the elderly, children, and Gu Jin.
No one has ever turned a blind eye to the elderly like the eldest son does.
Xu Anming left right after he finished speaking, without paying any attention to his father.
Gu Jin did see him, but she didn't intend to pay any attention to him. After Xu Ancheng and his wife left her hut, she stood up, picked up a small stool and prepared to go back to the house.
After sitting for a long time, her feet became numb.
Walking slowly.
Xu Huaishan entered the house first. There was no light in the house except for the sporadic sparks from the stove.
Xu Huaishan put the bowl down in the dark, picked up some firewood, started a fire, and lit the kerosene lamp.
The dim light began to flicker, and Xu Huaishan said, "You have mixed too many noodles and can't finish them. I'll bring you a bowl."
Gu Jin ignored him. Xu Huaishan felt bored and walked out of the house with his head down.
When he reached the door, Xu Huaishan stopped again, "Tomorrow... don't cook tomorrow night. I still have a lot of chicken left. I can't finish it all by myself. I'll bring you food tomorrow night."
After saying this, Xu Huaishan left.
Gu Jin looked at the bowl of steaming noodles and felt sad. He didn't expect that the couple would rely on each other in their old age.
Gu Jin was staring at the dumpling soup. Xu Ancheng stood at the door, looked at the dumpling soup in front of Gu Jin, and said, "Did big brother save it for you?"
"I was thinking if big brother didn't leave any, I'd bring you a bowl."
Gu Jin laughed when he heard this, "Your elder brother?"
"Your eldest brother wouldn't have thought of me. Your father sent me this."
"father?"
"I didn't expect my father had this skill."
"Is this enough for you?"
"not enough……"
"Enough, go back, I have food here, don't worry about me."
Gu Jin didn't really want to eat any of his sons' food.
She got her share.
There are a limited number of things in the house, and she can't have them all by herself, and yet she is sharing food from her son's pot. That's not right.
They also have children.
She didn't want it, but she didn't even mention it. Gu Jin just felt that it would be better if she had never given birth.
Seeing that she had food, Xu Ancheng went back again.
Chi Yue had dinner in the evening and wanted to go back to the house with Wen Tang, but Lin Jingshen said, "Xiao Yue, come and help me. I have had severe back pain these two days."
"Why does my waist hurt?"
"Ah, I bumped into the corner of the desk at school yesterday," Lin Jingshen looked pitiful.
"Then go back to the house and I'll help you see if it's serious."
"Uh-huh!"
