Not long after they sat down, Aunt He came in with a bowl of crispy fried eggs in lard.
The wonderful aroma produced when the protein and oil are heated and blended with each other made everyone present salivate.
Even Captain He, who was sitting calmly at the top, swallowed imperceptibly.
The four people who had been eating tasteless dry food on the train for several days in a row had their stomachs rumbling and were ready to eat something.
"Come on, come on, everyone, please start eating. Don't be polite and eat more food!"
Captain He suppressed all other thoughts and asked everyone to start eating.
As long as the two Shanghai educated youth were knowledgeable and sensible and didn't cause any trouble, he would pretend he saw nothing.
Captain He and his wife had not eaten lunch in order to wait for the young people, and were now extremely hungry.
My aunt, who usually works every day, took a leave of absence today to stay at home in order to entertain them.
He's mother-in-law picked up a spoon and served everyone a bowl of porridge. She also gave everyone a steamed bun, and then everyone started eating together.
Bai Guoguo waited until Uncle He started eating before picking up the gray steamed bun and taking a bite. Apart from being a bit rough and sore in the throat, it wasn't too bad.
I took a sip of the corn porridge, and it was quite fragrant because it was cooked well.
Add a chopstickful of pickled vegetable shreds, cough cough, it was a bit too salty. I quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge to suppress the salty taste in my mouth.
She took a sip of porridge, then tried hard to take a small bite of the steamed bread, puffing out her cheeks and chewing hard.
Bai Guoguo was so focused on eating that she didn't notice that several people had seen her current appearance.
He Gang saw the little girl holding the steamed bun in both hands, chewing it vigorously in small bites. Her fair cheeks were bulging, just like a little squirrel eating.
She was so cute that He Gang's heart melted. She didn't even dislike the country food. It was obvious that she was not used to it, but she was still eating seriously and hard.
This made He Gang and his uncle and aunt, who were secretly observing her at the same time, like this little girl even more.
They all saw a clue from their nephew's attitude towards the little girl. This brat probably had a crush on the little girl.
The performance of the other few people was not so good. Yang Xiaoyong was okay. Although he was not used to the food, he did not show any displeasure on his face.
Wang Qiuyu and Li Dongyang couldn't help showing disgust while eating, but because they were at the captain's house, they didn't say it out loud.
They thought they hid their emotions well, but in fact they couldn't hide them from others at all. Even the thick-skinned Wang Yang Xiaoyong glanced at them several times.
Uncle He's wife raised her eyebrows and wanted to get angry, but Captain He pulled her clothes, so she had to suppress her temper and put on a smile.
"Come, kids, have some eggs. Auntie fried them in lard and they're so delicious."
He's aunt used a pair of clean, unused chopsticks to put a golden fried egg in each of the bowls of the four educated youth, He Gang, and He Hongjun.
There were six fried eggs in this bowl, and after giving one to each of the young people, there were no more.
It was obvious that the two elders had specially prepared it to entertain them, and they were reluctant to eat it themselves.
"Auntie, I'll give you half of mine. I haven't eaten it yet, so please don't despise me!"
How could Bai Guoguo eat by himself while letting the two old people who hosted him watch him?
She quickly took the chopsticks that Aunt He had just used to pick up eggs for them, cut her own poached egg in half, and gave half to Aunt He.
She didn't give it to Uncle He because she was an outsider after all, and Uncle He was a man, so this was the only way.
Seeing the little girl's behavior, He Gang also used chopsticks to divide half an egg for his uncle.
"You kid, just eat it yourself, why are you giving it to me? You look so thin, you should eat more!"
Aunt He was very pleased with the child's behavior, but she still wanted to return half the egg to her. How could she compete with a child for food?
"Auntie, you can't fight with me. Good things taste better when they are shared. Look, Brother He has already shared his food. Wait a couple of days until I'm settled down. I'll show you my cooking skills when we have hot pot meals. My cooking is delicious!"
Bai Guoguo stretched out his hands, held down the hands of He's aunt-in-law, and persuaded her with a smile.
"Hahaha, since the kids are so kind, then we'll just bear with it. We'll bring some good stuff over after we've cooked the pot for Bai Zhiqing!"
Uncle He laughed heartily, so his wife didn't have to be polite anymore.
He could see that the little girl truly respected them from the bottom of her heart, and he felt warm in his heart. At the same time, he also hoped that his nephew could get what he wished for.
"Good child, I won't be polite to you. You are such a lovely girl!"
The eldest aunt of the He family laughed even more happily, thinking that such a good girl, she didn't know how her parents raised her.
"You're welcome, Auntie. These eggs are yours, and you fried them. I'm just trying to take advantage of them and offering them as a token of my gratitude."
Bai Guoguo scratched her little face embarrassedly, thinking that this lady from Northeast China was really hard to resist when she praised people, but she liked it, hehe!
This shy little look made He's aunt laugh again, and she picked up another piece of pickled vegetables for her with chopsticks.
They were laughing and having a great time here, but the others were feeling a little embarrassed.
He Hongjun, Yang Xiaoyong, Li Dongyang and Wang Chengyu looked at the eggs in the bowl and started to laugh.
It was not right to eat the egg, nor was it right not to eat it. It seemed that Aunt He had misjudged their predicament.
