The next day, Yu Chengyuan got up very early.
My parents got up too.
His mother prepared breakfast early, but only for their family.
Now that the family has separated, Pan Cuilian no longer needs to be part of the extended family.
They only fed the chickens and pigs their own.
They now have three pigs, two geese, and three chickens, which is considered quite good.
"Dazhu, Chengzi, breakfast is ready."
Today I cooked noodles and eggs for you.
We still have work to do later, so eat well.
Pan Cuilian really went all out today, frying an egg for each member of her family.
"Mother, I'm coming right away."
Yu Chengyuan responded loudly from the backyard.
He separated the fish and eels he had caught the night before.
Take out the larger eels, four large snakehead fish, and four half-pound crucian carp.
These are all wild, and they taste pretty good, as long as they're cooked properly.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law of the eel can use it to make porridge, which is good for nourishing blood and qi.
You can also deep-fry the pork pieces and stir-fry them with dried chili peppers; the taste is fantastic.
Yu Chengyuan looked at the crayfish in the wooden basin again, estimating that they weighed about four or five pounds. After thinking for a moment, he filled the basin with about one and a half pounds, thinking that it would be nice to make a plate for his father-in-law to have with his drinks.
He specifically chose female crayfish to pack.
Female crayfish have smaller heads and more meat, while male crayfish have larger heads and less meat.
After doing all that, he went out to the kitchen to have breakfast.
Breakfast no longer needs to be taken to my eldest brother's room; it's too inconvenient with all that soup and liquid.
He had to get up early because they had a lot to do today.
Pan Cuilian filled three large bowls with noodles and placed them on the kitchen table.
Because the kitchen was large enough, they put an older table there.
At this time, Yang Juhua, the second son's wife, got up to make breakfast. Before she even got to the kitchen, she could smell the aroma of noodles and eggs.
Sniffing, I wondered: What delicious food has this sister-in-law made so early in the morning?
Stepping into the kitchen, I saw three large bowls of noodles on the table, along with golden poached eggs.
She felt both envious and jealous.
"Sister-in-law, you're the best. Now that we've separated the family, you can make whatever delicious food you want."
Unlike us, we have to wait until Chinese New Year to eat this!
But you just separated from your family, and you're already using noodles and fried eggs? That's a bit too extravagant.
Sister-in-law, aren't you usually quite frugal with your money?
Why are you spending so lavishly now?
If you ask me, we still need to be more frugal, after all…
"Second sister-in-law, how I live my life is my own business."
You don't need to worry about it, but I still appreciate your concern.
Before, our eldest son's family had nothing to eat. Now that we've separated the family, we can't keep treating ourselves like before, can we?
"Don't you think so, second sister-in-law?"
Pan Cuilian interrupted Yang Juhua directly, and retorted rudely.
At this moment, Yu Chengyuan and his father walked over one after the other.
Yang Juhua was rebuffed, and her face turned very unnatural. She muttered to herself: "How come this sister-in-law, who is usually so gentle, has learned to talk back?"
Then, looking rather dejected, he said, "Sister-in-law is right."
I'm going to make breakfast now.
The family of three couldn't help but laugh.
"You two, hurry up and eat!"
I sent a bowl to Ping An.
He just got up.
Pan Cuilian said this and left with a bowl of noodles.
The father and son sat down and began to slowly slurp up their noodles.
They talked while eating the delicious noodles.
"Dad, come with me to the county town later. I'm going to buy two doors. The shop owner will have someone deliver them to us on a cart. You can come back with him."
Then, together with the village chief and the others, they installed the door and the windows.
Then, together with the villagers, we moved our belongings over.
I estimate a morning should be enough.
"Chengyuan, aren't you coming back with your father?"
Yu Dazhu asked in surprise.
"I think you'll have lunch at my wife's place before coming back."
Last night I went out and caught some snakehead fish, crucian carp, and eels. I plan to take them to my wife today to help her recover.
So I can't come back with you.
Yu Chengyuan explained.
"Oh, I see."
Okay, then Dad will come back first.
Dad will handle the moving. You should spend more time with Su-lan and her daughter over there.
Once things are settled here, we'll bring the mother and daughter back.
The postpartum period should have been taken care of by my husband's family.
The couple in-laws are such good people!
In other people's homes, there would probably be gossip and whispers by now.
Yu Dazhu always felt that his family had let their in-laws down!
He also thought about his granddaughter, and he really wanted to see what she looked like now.
"Okay, once things are settled here and my wife feels better, I'll go to my parents-in-law's house to pick up Sulan and Tangtang."
Yu Chengyuan nodded, then remembered that they hadn't gotten to the important matter yet!
"By the way, Dad, there's something I need to tell you. Those villagers who helped us have worked hard too."
Besides, I said yesterday that I would treat them to dinner, and I wasn't kidding, I meant it.
"Is that all? Of course, Father approves."
But lunchtime might be a bit rushed, right?
Yu Dazhu was thinking of treating them to lunch, but time was too short.
"Lunchtime is too rushed, so I won't invite you for lunch."
Let's invite the villagers to dinner.
You and Mom should prepare more vegetables from the garden, and Mom should find two helpers to cook more good dishes tonight.
As for meat dishes, there are some crucian carp, loach, small eels, small fish, shrimp, and crayfish in the backyard, which can be used to make three or four meat dishes.
