Who says people in the 1970s and 1980s don’t know how to cook? As long as they have some spare money, they can cook very well.
At least Jiang Yan was satisfied with the meal.
Pregnant women should not eat too much glutinous rice. When Miao Xiuying delivered the rice to Song Jingtian, she also gave her special reminder.
Song Jingtian is a person who can't control her mouth. As expected, she ate too much and had a stomachache late at night, which scared Lu.
It was only after Jiang Yan felt her pulse, repeatedly assured her that she was fine, and gave her a few hawthorn pills that she finally calmed down.
In the blink of an eye, it was Laba Festival. Miao Xiuying and Zhang Yulan got up early in the morning to work. When Jiang Yan woke up, she could smell the soft, glutinous and sweet Laba porridge.
Hu Xueer and Song Yan also came back from the city and brought a lot of food, including glutinous rice noodles, egg cakes, and small cookies that children liked.
Shengli grabbed a handful, put it in his pocket, and went out to show off.
Jiang Yan drank Laba porridge and ate refreshing Laba garlic. It must be said that it was a very pleasant life!
As for Lu Jianjun, he couldn't even make ends meet, and you asked him to dig the ground? He found it too hot when the sun was shining, too dirty when it rained, and too cold when it snowed. He could do nothing and became a joke in the team.
Tell him not to hold the team back, he must be rated as an advanced team member anyway.
Lu Jianjun was so angry. Wasn't it just because he lost his job in the city that he looked down on others?
In the past, they were like lapdogs in front of him. Let’s see how he will deal with them when he becomes the captain.
Feeling annoyed, he let him spend the little money at home on buying liquor. He was drunk every day and the kids didn't bother to take care of him.
Han Meina had had enough. She was forced into a corner and had no choice but to sell the clothes she had bought before to the villagers at a low price.
Seeing her pained face, the aunts said deliberately, "The families of Lu Lao Da and Lu Lao Er are getting more and more prosperous, but they didn't ask you three to help. They are too selfish. As a sister-in-law, you should go to their house and ask them to share the wealth. Others can only eat meat every now and then, but he can't live without meat every day. The smell is so delicious that people drool. His neighbors are miserable."
"Who made Jiang Yan so promising? Isn't your man a scholar? How can a scholar not be able to paint? You let Jiang Yan take care of him. You are the elder. Would Jiang Yan not listen to you?
That's extremely unfilial. The spit of the villagers could drown her. If she marries here, she will be a member of our team. She should follow the local customs and set some rules for her."
"They say she earns a few hundred yuan a month from her writing. Just think about it, a few hundred yuan? What a concept. It's enough for us to be busy for a lifetime. Such a blessing is enviable. Only Lu Xiao is lucky to marry such a rich girl."
"Oh, everyone knows that she is sick. If you want to take advantage of her, there is no door or window, let alone a door. Miao Xiuying can drain all the water out of your brain.
If you really can't make ends meet, just lend her some money. Brothers, how can they push you out even if they are still connected?"
These people knew Han Meina's difficulties and deliberately instigated her to cause trouble. It was because the Lu family was living too well and they were jealous.
Han Meina tightened her face and said with a sad face: "Jiang Yan is just a pretentious person. She doesn't care about us elders. How can she hand over the money-making job to others?
Lu Xiaomin was kicked out by her. It's my bad luck! I'm leaving now."
As she said that, she put the money into her bag and rushed home without looking back. The others snorted and sneered, "She used to be so arrogant, but now she has suffered. Life in the countryside is not as easy as she thought.
Lu Jianjun can’t carry anything, and he’s so lazy and gluttonous that even mice don’t bother to hang around in his house.”
"Go, go, go, go home and warm yourself by the fire. It's really a waste of time. There's no point in talking about this!"
Everyone dispersed, but Han Meina turned around and walked towards the Lu family.
Looking at the spacious blue brick and tile house, I wanted to slap myself twice. Why didn't I think clearly and buy this house for 300 yuan?
I want to buy it back now, but it’s too late. They all belong to these brothers, why did they make such a mess?
She walked back and forth, unable to make up her mind for a moment. Shengli, who was playing in the yard, saw her and rolled his eyes but didn't call her.
He is young, but not stupid, but he has not forgotten what Han Meina said about him being a poor boy from the country.
Hey, now that your family is doing well, you're still shameless enough to come and throw yourself at me.
Seeing that he turned a blind eye, Han Meina became a little annoyed and raised her voice: "Shengli, I am your third aunt, where is your grandmother? Why are you so unruly? You don't even dare to see people."
Shengli didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued playing with the marbles in his hand.
Han Meina rolled up her sleeves and wanted to beat him up. Chen Min, who came out to get water, saw her and said angrily, "What are you doing? You still want to beat my child? This is my home, so hold back."
Seeing that a junior like her dared to boss her around, Han Meina spat fiercely, "You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? I'm your elder, where's your mother? Call her out."
Chen Min was not afraid at all. "My family treats you as a relative, but you are still shameless. Could it be that your family is in financial difficulty and cannot lend money to Lu Lin, so you are targeting us? I tell you, no!"
Han Meina was so angry that she wanted to yell. Those people who she used to look down upon now dared to boss her around.
Hearing the noise outside, Miao Xiuying came out.
The flames in Han Meina's eyes grew stronger and stronger, "You are such a rotten heartless person, you instigated my daughter to steal from home, causing my husband to lose his job and my son to lose his education.
Do you want to destroy me? Everyone in the family hopes that their brothers will live well, but you ate the last meal yourself and left me without the next one. Aren’t you afraid that the God will punish you and kill you? I won’t live anymore!”
After saying that, she sat down on the ground and started rolling around, but Miao Xiuying was not afraid at all.
She crossed her arms and said calmly, "You abused your daughter and she got stolen. You deserved it. I have never seen a mother as cruel as you.
That is the flesh that crawled out of your belly. You want to sell her in exchange for a bride price. Do you really think she has no human rights? Let me tell you, she is a member of my Lu family, and it is not your turn to make the decision yet.
The family fortune is gone, so I'm letting you suffer. As for your husband losing his job, you blame the heavens and the earth, but you can still blame me? You really cut my ass with a knife, and I've learned my lesson.
It's because your man is not good enough and has failed the organization's expectations of him, and you still have the nerve to come to the door. If I were you, I would have put that face in my crotch. "
Miao Xiuying burst out in anger, her chest heaving. Just as she stretched out her hand, Miao Xiuying was faster than her and slapped her in the face without any hesitation.
Jiang Yan leaned against the door frame, watching with great interest. Her mother-in-law was simply too authoritative. This Han Meina was not very capable in fighting!
Lu Xiao handed her the peeled sweet potato, but Jiang Yan didn't take it. She took a bite from his hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, which made Lu Xiao laugh. He said lovingly: "Melons are everywhere, why do you like them so much?"
Jiang Yan's eyes curved into crescents, "Brother Lu, you don't know this, right? If you are not active in eating melons, there must be something wrong with your brain. I am the first one to eat melons."
After all, she was the first person to die from eating melons.
