Besides Chen Suwen and her group, a bunch of idle people from Guangming Road came over to watch the spectacle.
The children weren't that interested, but middle-aged women like Chen Suwen, or young wives, were all free to come and watch the excitement.
They were envious of Chen Suwen, who was happily eating sunflower seeds, but none of them dared to ask her for any.
They knew how stingy Chen Suwen was; they didn't want to end up getting nothing but insults from her instead of the melon seeds they were supposed to ask.
"These sunflower seeds are really delicious. When did you get so many pumpkin seeds?" Ye Yulian was surprised after eating the sunflower seeds. The taste of the seeds was surprisingly good, and the kernels were very plump.
Pumpkin seeds are different from sunflower seeds.
Sunflower seeds have plump and thick kernels, making them very satisfying to eat; while pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, and other similar seeds have only a thin layer of kernels, making them less satisfying to eat.
“My family just harvested pumpkins, and there are quite a lot of pumpkin seeds,” Chen Suwen replied.
Among the batch of watermelons that she had Zhou Cunming bring home, there were many pumpkins. She opened two of them and took out all the pumpkin seeds to make roasted watermelon seeds.
Pumpkin flesh is used either to cook porridge or to make pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin steamed cakes.
The melon seeds were delicious; she felt they were not much different from sunflower seeds, perfect for snacking on while watching a play.
"Your pumpkin is really nice. Could you share some seeds with me next time? I'd like to plant some too," Ye Yulian asked while cracking open some pumpkin seeds.
"no problem."
While the two were eating sunflower seeds, before Zhang Hongxue could even speak, He Caiying rushed back from the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's only lively when there are many people watching, isn't it?
Someone had already sent the child to the supply and marketing cooperative to find He Caiying. Anyway, it wasn't particularly far from the Sun family to the supply and marketing cooperative, so when He Caiying received the news, she immediately rushed home.
"Why did you come over, sister-in-law? Have you eaten?" Although He Caiying was anxious, she suppressed her emotions and greeted Zhang's sister-in-law with a smile.
Sister-in-law Zhang rolled her eyes. "What are you saying, Mother-in-law? At this hour, are you asking if I've had breakfast or lunch?"
He Caiying maintained her smile and did not change her expression because of Zhang's sister-in-law's words, appearing to have a very good temper.
"Did you come to see A-Qiang's mother this time, sister-in-law? Thanks to your family's concern, our family treats A-Qiang's mother very well."
"Everyone knows how good I am to Qiang's mom, much better than I am to my own daughter... I'm so glad that A-Tong was able to marry such a good wife as Qiang's mom."
Sister-in-law Zhang rolled her eyes. "Of course you're happy. Marrying Hongxue means your Sun Tong can get a job for free. Anyone would be happy, okay?"
She would be very happy if her son could marry a daughter-in-law who could bring him a good job.
Thinking this way, Zhang's eldest sister-in-law was unwilling to give up.
“Hongxue, you’re working at a state-run restaurant, right? You’ve never cooked before, so this job is definitely not suitable for you.”
“Our Xiaodie is different. She is very suitable for this job. She is a very good cook.”
In short, this job must now be given to her daughter, and cannot continue to be given to the Sun family.
The Sun family has already taken one job from the Zhang family; they can forget about getting another one.
