Ever since Lu Baiwei became pregnant, she has been the darling of the Tang family.
When they heard that she was going to make rice candy, not only did her cousin Tang Yunling come to help, but her eldest aunt and third aunt also came to help. In addition, Professor Chen Wen's wife Zhou Yueying was also there, so Lu Baiwei herself became a free person.
"Weiwei, it's too early for you to hit the candy."
Seeing the little sugar figures eagerly waiting for the steamed glutinous rice that had just been fried in the oil pan, and gathered together to secretly eat it, Third Aunt Ye Hongying shook her head.
"Look at how greedy these little guys are. They're secretly stuffing the freshly fried rice grains into their pockets."
Ye Hongying suppressed her laughter: "We haven't even started to stir-fry the fried rice into syrup yet, let them eat half of the rice grains."
After being pointed out by Tang Yunling's mother, He Yunqi, who was responsible for reaching into the basket to get the rice, stopped.
He was too embarrassed to look up and smile ingratiatingly at Lu Baiwei and the others.
Lu Baiwei found his greedy look funny, and seeing the little Tang people looking at them eagerly, she knew that little He Yunqi was waiting to be their leader.
"Eat, each of you put some in your pocket, but don't eat too much, or you'll be full. By the time the rice candy is ready, you won't be able to eat anymore."
Afraid that the children would get burned, Lu Baiwei simply grabbed a handful of cooled fried rice and stuffed it into each of their pockets.
With food in hand, the children happily took Ranran out to play.
Third aunt Ye Hongying scolded Lu Baiwei: "These guys never get enough to eat, just spoil them!"
My aunt also joined in the conversation.
"Weiwei, you are pregnant now, don't feed the child everything."
The eldest aunt also felt that the children in her family were much older than He Yunqi, and they often coaxed their younger brother to ask Lu Baiwei for food, which was not appropriate.
Lu Baiwei thought it was okay.
"Aunt, please don't be so formal, we are all family."
"Little Qi Ranran often eats at your house."
"It's no big deal to have a snack."
Lu Baiwei is very grateful to her two aunts.
After she became pregnant, it was her two aunts who took care of her and caught chickens for her to eat.
From her aunt, she felt the maternal love she had never felt before.
"Besides, if I asked you to help make rice candy, you would leave your work at home and come as soon as I called you."
My aunt, like Lu Baiwei's uncle Tang Jingshan, is an honest person who is always taciturn.
Third aunt Ye Hongying continued: "Isn't this what we should do?"
"You are pregnant, and now you are the treasure of our Tang family. Making rice candy together will make it more festive and add to the flavor of the New Year."
The third aunt sniffed and warned Lu Baiwei: "The smell of smoked bacon here is too strong. The educated youth who came to our brigade to work in the countryside moved to the old house of the Yin family. It is close to the brigade clinic, and people often pass by your door."
"You'd better avoid the smell of bacon. Don't smoke it during the day. Do it at night."
Too!
It’s not easy to get pork these days, you need a meat ticket.
If people knew that I smoked a whole corner of pork, it would inevitably arouse jealousy.
Lu Baiwei agreed.
While frying rice, the third aunt said with relief: "You don't have to avoid people too much, just be a little careful. Everyone in our brigade knows that you married well. He Ting is an educated youth from the capital, and he has no shortage of meat and sugar coupons."
"You are also the barefoot doctor of the brigade. He Ting is in charge of the rabbit farm. Not only does he earn a lot of work points, but he also gets the brigade salary. Today, He Ting will go to the brigade to calculate his work points and get a lot of food."
"You don't need to buy food next year. The two of you and little Qi Ranran have enough to eat for a year."
The family was making rice candy in preparation for the New Year, and as the male host, He Ting should have stayed at home.
Today happened to be the day when the brigade calculated work and distributed money and grain, so He Ting went to the brigade to collect his family's share of money and grain.
Although He Ting was an educated youth who went to the countryside, he always received full work points for working during the busy farming seasons twice a year. Later, he managed the brigade's rabbit farm, and as the manager of the rabbit farm, he also received full work points.
In addition, there are Lu Baiwei's work points and salary as a barefoot doctor in the brigade.
He Ting pushed a dirt cart and loaded the grain distributed by the brigade onto the cart, which was still full.
It was Tang Yuanliang who pushed his own cart and took the initiative to help: "He Ting, my grain distribution is behind, I will help you move the remaining grain back first."
It just so happened that Zhou Yanfeng had also come out after collecting his rations, but he didn't have much.
He had been living with Tang Jinghe's family, and simply charged the food rations to Tang Jinghe's family, so he came out empty-handed.
"Brother Yuanliang, you don't have to make a special trip. I saw people waiting inside just now. They will soon line up at our house."
Zhou Yanfeng took the initiative to take the job: "I'll help Brother Ting move the food. We'll make one more trip. You stay here and queue up."
"By the way, my food is counted at your house. I'll trouble you to take my share of the food back later."
Tang Yuanliang knew about the affair between Zhou Yanfeng and his sister Tang Yunling, that they were just pretending to be in a relationship.
Call it pretend!
Zhou Yanfeng never considers himself as an outsider.
Not only did he bring any good things to Tang's house, but he also stayed at his house every day.
Now, the food distributed by the brigade will be directly counted as his family’s.
Zhou Yanfeng's foul mouth always made Lingling so angry that she wanted to beat him to death.
Why does his daughter Lingling always have to hang out with Zhou Yanfeng?
That's because Zhou Yanfeng is so clingy. He always eats at his house and now he's counting the food for his family. The beads on the abacus make a deafening sound.
However, compared to that confused guy Zhao Yongsen, Zhou Yanfeng is many times better.
As Tang Yunling's brother, he agreed with his father Tang Jinghe and was willing to accept Zhou Yanfeng as their brother-in-law.
But with Lingling's temper and Zhou Zhiqing's foul mouth, it's unclear how long it will take for the two of them to finally be together.
never mind.
He doesn't bother with that.
Let everything take its course!
Tang Yuanliang quickly agreed: "Okay, I know, I'll help you get the food home later."
"Help He Ting move the food."
This has been approved by my uncle!
Zhou Yanfeng actually had no idea whether his trick of forcing someone to do something he was not prepared for would work.
But Tang Yuanliang was still willing to cooperate with him.
Zhou Yanfeng was very proud, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He used his eyes to signal to the educated youths that they should follow He Ting home to see his daughter Lingling.
There were several young men among the educated youths, but only one had a partner. The others were fed with dog food by Zhou Yanfeng all the time, so they rolled their eyes at him and were too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng got along well with the Tang family members. This scene was seen by Lu Jiaojiao who also came to collect food.
Staring at the bags of grain piled on He Ting's cart and the little bit of grain in her own basket, Lu Jiaojiao was extremely envious.
With the support of the Women's Federation of the brigade, Shen Guixiang and Yin Zhihe did not beat her again.
However, Shen Guixiang and her son blamed her for moving Feng Shishi out of the house, and they always treated her coldly and ignored her.
