Seeing her husband so nervous, and remembering how he had been waiting outside at noon for fear that something might be lost, Xu Xiangjuan felt sad and her nose felt a little sore.
After counting, no problem. Xu Xiangjuan said, "Nothing is missing. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Zhou Chengning remembered what he bought, and planned to order it again when his wife went to pick up Niu Niu later, so as to make sure nothing was missed. "Juan, I like everything you cook, even vegetables."
"You really don't want to eat anything? You look tired from riding your bike back today. I'll make you whatever you want."
Zhou Chengning hesitated. He had eaten meat in the county town at noon, so he should be satisfied, but... "Juan, I want to eat fish."
He not only likes to eat freshly cooked fish, but also fish jelly.
If the fish soup is not eaten up after the meal, it will be frozen into fish jelly after half a day and a night. Not long ago, my wife made rice fish, but because it was troublesome to remove the fish bones, Gua Gua only ate a little bit. He basically finished the two fish. Another night we had hand-rolled noodles and noodles mixed with chili sauce, although Juan didn't let him add too much chili sauce... Eating noodles with chili sauce and a piece of fish jelly was so comfortable.
It is rather troublesome to eat pork, as there is no fresh pork available at this time. But if she wants to eat fish, it is easy. She can go to her parents' house and get a fish when she picks up Niu Niu.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, you go to sleep first. I'll take Gua Gua to pick up Niu Niu. I'll call you to eat after dinner is done. I'll get out the things for my parents first."
Xu Xiangjuan took out the cotton hat she bought for her father and the cotton coat she bought for her mother. She could not favor one over the other and had to give one to both parents.
Not long after Gua Gua put the six cents in her purse, her mother called her to go to her grandparents' house, and she deliberately carried the purse with her.
I have a new purse and I can show it to my grandparents.
Seeing Zhou Chengning staring at the tricycle, he said, "Aning, stop staring at it. We are already home. No thief will steal it. Go to sleep."
I woke up earlier than her in the morning, but I don’t know how long I woke up earlier. I also rode a tricycle for two or three hours this afternoon, so I must be tired.
Not to mention the people riding the bikes, even she, the passenger, was tired.
Zhou Chengning said seriously, "Juan, I'm going to sleep soon. You can take Guagua to pick up Niu Niu. Niu Niu must have cried several times after not seeing you for a day."
In fact, he wanted his wife to go to his parents-in-law's house first so that he could order it himself, and he used the excuse that Niu Niu missed his mother.
Xu Xiangjuan: "You cry several times a day when you see me. I will come back to check if you have slept. If you don't sleep, don't even think about eating fish at night... Guagua, go to grandpa and grandma's house with mom."
Guagua was excited, "Let's go to grandpa and grandma's house!"
Xu Xiangjuan took Gua Gua to her parents' house. Zhou Chengning watched the mother and daughter leave, and after making sure they were out of sight, he began to count.
But you can’t have less, it all costs money.
His wife checked once and said there was no problem. Zhou Chengning checked again and found that nothing was missing. He was still worried and pushed the tricycle to the corner.
Thinking about the time, I had to go to the inner room quickly, otherwise my lover would come back and find me angry, and there would be no fish to eat if she was angry.
After waiting and waiting, his lover still hadn't come back. Zhou Chengning resisted the urge to go look at the tricycle again. After all, as soon as he went out, his lover might just come back.
I had tried very hard to close my eyes, waiting for my lover to come back and check on me, but as I closed my eyes, I actually fell asleep.
He was so excited that he went to the county town to buy a car today. He fell asleep very late last night and got up early in the morning. In addition, he did some exercise in the afternoon, so he was feeling sleepy and couldn't resist.
If Xu Xiangjuan didn't want to bring Niu Niu back to sleep, she wouldn't have wanted to go to the inner room for the so-called "inspection".
When she went to her parents' house, Niu Niu was awake, but fortunately she didn't cry. She gave her cotton hat and cotton coat to her mother and took Niu Niu in.
Guagua couldn't wait to show off his money to his grandparents, but Xu Xiangjuan ignored him and went to the yard to look at the big fish basins. Her father had no hobbies of fishing or catching fish, but he liked to join in the fun and sometimes brought back fish himself. Some were given to him and some were bought. The fish in the basins were all prepared to be killed and eaten. They could be kept for several days and there were quite a lot of them.
There is no other meat, but there is enough fish.
She planned to pick a big one and let her father kill it, scrape off the scales, and remove as much of the fish's internal organs as possible. It would be best if there were fish roe, as Guagua could eat fish roe. Fish soup with rice would also be fine.
Let her father take care of it first so that she wouldn't have to go back and deal with the trouble. After all, she still had to wash rice, cook and boil the pot.
Guagua was a talkative little girl and was still talking to her grandparents. Xu Xiangjuan ignored her and asked her father to catch and cut the fish for her.
Before Xu Gensheng could respond, Wu Caifeng spoke first, "You want to eat fish every other day, but Guagua has never eaten a bite. Is he a big shot? He wants to eat fish, but he still needs you to beg for money from your mother's family."
Xu Xiangjuan remained calm, "I want to eat it myself, Mom. I've been abstaining from food for so long, it's okay to eat some fish, and when have you ever seen Guagua not eat a few bites of fish? When we go home to eat fish, her dad picks out the bones for her, and the fish meat is almost in her mouth."
Guagua, who was taking the blame, felt that what his mother said seemed to be right, but also seemed to be wrong, so he simply kept silent. His father told him that what his mother said was right.
Xu Gensheng: "It's okay, it's okay. Dad will kill two for you. You pick one and I'll pick one. I'll make it and send it over to mom and dad."
Xu Xiangjuan: "I know, Dad. Mom, you can cook later. The fish won't be ready that quickly. I'll ask Gua Gua to come over and tell you guys when it's almost ready. Mom, go make some noodles."
They cook at night, after all, the child's father has to bring lunch to school the next day, and her parents don't eat dinner at night, either noodles in soup or porridge. She thought noodles go well with fish, so she decided what her parents would eat in the evening.
Xu Gensheng hadn't eaten his daughter's cooking all day, which made him very greedy. "Soup noodles and fish are good. Choose now. Dad will kill them for you when you're done."
Although the daughter taught her mother a few dishes, her mother has been stingy for most of her life. Even if the family had the conditions, it would be impossible for her to cook according to her daughter's methods. So the meals at home are still the same, tasteless and just enough to fill the stomach.
Xu Xiangjuan held Niu Niu in her arms and acted as the commander throughout the whole process. When she returned, she asked Gua Gua to carry the two fish back. The fish were a bit heavy, but Gua Gua had a wallet and the strength to spare today.
When they arrived at the gate of the yard at home, Xu Xiangjuan specifically told Guagua not to talk and disturb her sleeping father, and asked her to go to her room first.
When he heard the word "his room", Gua Gua stopped talking, nodded, his big eyes shining, and with his mother's permission, he ran to his room.
After sending Guagua away, Xu Xiangjuan just fed Niu Niu and coaxed Niu Niu to sleep.
Niu Niu was soon coaxed to sleep, and Xu Xiangjuan went to the inner room and put Niu Niu on the bed.
Her daughter Aning was indeed asleep, and was sleeping soundly. Although they were sleeping in the same bed, Niu Niu and his father were not using the same quilt, so neither of them disturbed the other.
After the father and son fell asleep, Xu Xiangjuan quietly went out.
After leaving the inner room, she went to the small room where Gua Gua was first, "Gua Gua, go help mom cook."
Guagua, a three-year-old kid, is naturally not as easy to use by her mother as her father, but she can also do some small chores. Usually when her father is not at home, she helps her mother. Hearing what her mother said, Guagua obediently took the purse and went out of the small room to follow her mother to the kitchen.
One pot is used to simmer rice, and another pot is used to roast fish. Xu Xiangjuan doesn't plan to make soup today. She just makes a bowl of steamed egg. The pickled beans are also edible. She scoops out a few spoonfuls of them and they can go with rice.
After the two fish had been cooked for most of the time and were about ten minutes away from being ready to be taken out of the pot, Xu Xiangjuan asked Gua Gua to tell her grandparents that they could boil water and cook the noodles.
In fact, Guagua did nothing. He just handed things over occasionally. Finally, he had work to do and went to his grandparents' house carrying a purse.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangjuan felt that she had to make Guagua understand the principle of "not showing off wealth" next time. If he carried a purse all day, he never knew when it would be snatched away.
There were only six cents in Gua Gua's purse. If anyone could rob him, he would be robbed. The purse was worth twenty cents.
Finally, she opened the lid of the pot and the fish was emitting a hot and fragrant aroma. Xu Xiangjuan served them out separately and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on both plates of fish.
Of course she had to deliver the fish herself. While the fish was still hot from the pot, Xu Xiangjuan put it in a basket, covered the basket with a piece of cloth, and went to deliver the fish to her parents' house.
Guagua has returned. She told him to stay in the kitchen and not to eat the fish secretly because it contains fish bones.
After hearing about Yubile Guagua, he gave up the idea of stealing the fish and continued to admire his purse.
After delivering the fish, Xu Xiangjuan went to the inner room first.
She didn't wake Zhou Chengning up for fear of waking up Niu Niu. She quietly climbed onto the bed, grabbed Zhou Chengning's hand and shook it a few times.
Zhou Chengning felt his hand being shaken while he was sleeping. He opened his eyes and found that it was already dark, but he could see clearly that it was Juan. It should be time for dinner.
Zhou Chengning had just woken up and couldn't make any sound, so he didn't say anything. Xu Xiangjuan signaled him not to disturb Niu Niu and to get out of bed quietly to eat.
Since Zhou Chengning was awake, Xu Xiangjuan let go of his hand and got out of bed to serve the meal.
