Lu Shiyi mentioned on the way that his grandfather liked to eat Dongpo pork very much, but because pork belly was really hard to buy, his grandfather hadn't eaten it for a long time.
"This is a big meal, not even this sumptuous during the Chinese New Year." Du Ruo said with a smile on his face.
After seeing the three people off and leaving the kitchen, Su Jin looked at the things in the kitchen and found that the seasonings were incomplete. She used the vegetable basket as a cover and took out the seasoning packets from it.
In the living room, the grandparents watched the three people coming over, and Lu Shiyi looked at Lu Bairen happily.
"Grandpa, we have something delicious tonight!" Lu Shiyi said, telling Su Jin that he had bought three pounds of pork belly. "I told Xiao Jin that you wanted to eat Dongpo pork. A childhood friend of Xiao Jin happens to be a supervisor at the meat processing plant, so he prepared it in advance."
Lu Shiyi had already arranged the meat, and this excuse allowed her to take out the meat from the space at any time.
"That won't do. Try to avoid asking for favors." Lu Bairen's eyes were full of smiles, but he still muttered a few words.
"You old man, you are complaining about your child's filial piety." Du Ruo glared at Lu Bairen angrily.
Lu Bairen laughed and said, "Okay, I won't nag you anymore."
"Xiao Jin said to make bacon, pork belly, and fish," Du Ruo told Lu Bairen, praising Su Jin highly. "When has Ayi ever taken such good care of the family? Every time he goes home, he comes back with just a simple suitcase. But this year, he brought back food and bacon, and bought a lot of snacks."
Lu Shiyi looked at Du Ruo in surprise. Du Ruo was always very happy when he came back in previous years, so why was it the opposite this year?
"Xiao Jin is a good kid, Ayi. He receives packages every month, and so does your father. Everyone in the compound envies our family. Although the contents of the packages are all handmade food, or some dry goods or grains, these are the most practical." Lu Bairen agreed with Du Ruo's opinion and thought that Su Jin did a great job.
If Su Jin didn't care about her family, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to prepare these foods.
"Xiao Jin makes things during the day and asks me to send them to you every month." Lu Shiyi said helplessly, "The dried meat is all the prey caught during hunting training. The leftovers are made into jerky by Xiao Jin and sent back."
"The dried meat made by Xiaojin is really delicious." Lu Bairen praised.
Lu Shiyi stood up and looked at the old man: "Grandpa, I'll go to the kitchen to help first, so we can eat as soon as possible."
"Go ahead." Grandpa Lu sent Lu Shiyi into the kitchen.
In the living room, Lu Bairen was sipping tea from a cup, while Uncle Yang happily congratulated the old man on having a caring granddaughter-in-law.
"Ayi and his wife are at home these days, so you should take a break. Xiaojin's cooking skills are pretty good." From what Lu Shiyi said, Lu Bairen knew that Su Jin wanted to cook three meals a day for the next few days.
"Commander, just let Xiao Jin cook dinner. I usually cook breakfast and lunch. Shi Yi's new house isn't ready yet." Aunt Yang looked at Lu Bairen and said, "Zong Li also sent a lot of food and dry goods this morning."
"Tell Ayi later that Hanhan will be sent over for care during the day. You'll have to take care of him then." Grandpa Lu trusts the couple who support the family very much. He and Du Ruo have a lot of free time, and Lu's father and mother go to work every day, so the backbone of the family can only rely on them.
"You're joking, old leader. We will definitely do our best." Aunt Yang quickly assured.
When the two elders of the Lu family were instructing Aunt Yang, there was a knock on the door.
When Aunt Yang went to open the door, she found it was Mr. An, and opened the door to welcome him in.
"Old An, why are you here at this hour?" Lu Bairen looked at his old comrade and became curious. "I remember you were going for a follow-up visit today, weren't you?"
"Old Ma is in trouble!" Mr. An originally wanted to go home after the checkup, but just as he reached the door, he heard the screams of the Ma family's children. "I just came back and saw Old Ma being taken away by the hospital ambulance."
What?!
Lu Bairen was surprised and said, "Ayi just ran into Ma Jie. Could it be that Ma Jie pissed off Old Ma?"
"That shouldn't be the case. When I left home this morning, I heard the Ma family arguing. Old Ma's voice was so loud. It must be because of his son." Elder An tried to calm Lu Bairen down. "I think it was Old Second Xin who came to pick them up."
Xin Laoer is the only one in the Xin family who works in the hospital. Because of his excellent medical skills, he has earned a lot of connections for the Xin family.
"If Mr. Xin had not been born in the Xin family, he would have been a good doctor." Lu Bairen sighed.
"Old An, I think Wang's daughter-in-law is not behaving well. Is Old Wang in poor health?" Lu Bairen has rarely seen Old Wang recently. "I remember the last time I saw him was during the Chinese New Year. He said he was having heart problems."
"I heard a rumor today that Old Wang is probably gone. Otherwise, how could the daughter-in-law of the Wang family dare to be so rampant." Old An had a lot of complaints about the Wang family. Old Wang was gone, and no one reported it?
"We don't know the specific situation yet, so don't say anything careless. Haven't you noticed the problem with Old Song?" Lu Shiyi looked at Mr. An and said.
After hearing this, Elder An obediently changed the subject: "I heard your granddaughter-in-law is back? Was she the one who made the dried meat you gave her?"
"Well, my dear, take some back for Lao An, spicy ones will do!" Lu Bairen was very generous to his comrades.
"Your family's Shi Yi sent me a jar of tiger bone wine. I drank it three times in a row and my joints felt warm." Elder An's legs are often cold, and the pain is so severe that he can't sleep at night. "Do you have any more tiger bone wine? I'll pay my children to brew another jar for me."
Old An knew that tiger bones were not easy to come by, and even wine required food coupons, so it was really difficult to make tiger bone wine now.
"I still have some here. If you can't use it, take it first." Lu Bairen looked at An Lao. "Your joint damage is worse than mine. Why don't you use it first?"
