Seeing that the people who had upset her had left, Ma Xiulan took Niu Chunhua's hand:
"Come on, let's save some money first, and then go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner together."
Niu Chunhua quickly waved her hand to refuse:
"I can help you save money, but we won't eat at the state-owned restaurant. You just got the money, so spend it sparingly. Once you've saved the money, come back to my house and I'll cook for you."
She felt that Zhao Youcai was a bastard, and the two brothers Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye looked unreliable, so it was better to let her good sister save more money.
Ma Xiulan was touched by her good sister's thoughtfulness:
"I'll go to your house for dinner later. You and your daughter Zhaozhao helped me a lot today. Zhaozhao helped me go to Chen's house and called for help from Wang Qiuju's factory, not to mention your help just now.
I'm inviting you to dinner and I have something to ask of you. If you don't go, do you not want to help me?"
After hearing what Ma Xiu Lan said, Niu Chunhua had no choice but to agree.
She was reluctant to let Ma Xiulan spend money, but seeing that Ma Xiulan insisted, she gave in.
I plan to order a bowl of noodles when I get there.
I shared a bowl with my daughter.
Ma Xiulan took Zhao Xingmin, and Niu Chunhua took Niu Zhaozhao, and they walked all the way to the bank.
On the way, Ma Xiu Lan gave Niu Chunhua ten yuan and asked her to help find a job in the next few days.
Jobs are in short supply these days, so anyone who knows someone who can sell a job will take it over. There are very few people left, so you have to fight for it.
Niu Chunhua declined: "Ten yuan is too much. I'll just use two yuan to buy some sunflower seeds and peanuts and take them to various compounds to ask around."
Ma Xiulan stuffed the money directly into her hand:
"It's not much. I need it urgently. I want to buy a job in the next few days. I want to go to the countryside to pick up my eldest brother and use the job to keep him in the city."
In her previous life, half a month later, she received a letter from her eldest brother, saying that he had broken his leg while working in the countryside. He borrowed 100 yuan and sent it to her, but he still became lame in the end.
She will have to get a letter of introduction later, and plans to buy a train ticket tomorrow to visit the boss to prevent him from getting hurt.
Because the second child is weak, I always favor him, thinking that the eldest child is the older brother and it is okay to give way to the younger brother. However, the eldest child, as the older brother, is only half an hour older than the younger brother.
That little bastard Zhao Yang ruined the boss's company. The boss wanted to call the police to arrest Zhao Yang, but she knelt down and forced the boss to let Zhao Yang go. She caused the boss's company to go bankrupt and was burdened with debts. In the end, the boss was still willing to take care of her. She must never owe the boss anything in this life.
We must not let the boss be lame again this time.
Niu Chunhua accepted the money after hearing this: "Don't worry, I've been looking into this matter these days."
After depositing the money, I went to the state-owned hotel.
Ma Xiu Lan went to the waiter first to order food, and Niu Chunhua repeatedly reminded her that she and her daughter only wanted one bowl of noodles.
After a while, the food came up.
Braised pork, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried beef, Qianlong cabbage.
Four bowls of rice.
Niu Chunhua felt distressed: "With so many meat dishes, how can we live like this in the future?"
Ma Xiulan smiled and said, "You know I work in the cafeteria. This isn't just to learn how to eat."
Niu Chunhua knew that this was just an excuse. The big pot meal made by Xiulan was already delicious, and the cafeteria didn't serve meat dishes anyway.
Looking at my daughter who was almost drooling, I decided to just let it go and find a job for Xiulan.
The overbearing aroma on the table rushed into everyone's nose.
Served with sweet and soft rice, everyone was immersed in the delicious food unconsciously.
-Zhao Family-
When Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye returned home, Chen Zhenzhen and Zhang Zhaodi didn't want to cook either.
Usually, Ma Xiu Lan gets up early to prepare breakfast and lunch, and Xing Min cooks in the evening.
After waiting for a while, Ma Xiulan and Zhao Xingmin did not come back.
It seems like I won’t be able to wait for mom to come back and cook today.
So Zhao Xingjia found an excuse:
"I'm going to my mother-in-law's house to eat."
He took Chen Zhenzhen and his son away.
The family of three went straight to the state-owned restaurant as soon as they left the house. Although Ma Xiu Lan's cooking was delicious, she was reluctant to buy meat.
So every time they went to eat at their mother-in-law's house under the pretext of eating, they actually went to a state-owned restaurant.
--
Zhao Xingjia and his family of three walked to the restaurant.
Chen Zhenzhen said, "Sister Fang, it's still my old three things."
The waiter Chen Fang lamented, "You're late. The last serving of braised pork has just been delivered to that table."
Chen Zhenzhen followed Chen Fang's gaze, saw the table at the corner, and tugged at the corner of Zhao Xingjia's clothes.
Zhao Xingjia exclaimed, "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you say you weren't going to the state-owned restaurant? So you didn't bring us along."
Ma Xiulan had already seen Zhao Xingjia and his wife. It was such bad luck. Fortunately, she had already eaten her fill.
“When you walk in, you see the same old three things. It seems that you come here often to improve yourself.
How come your mother, after working so hard for decades, comes out to eat a meal for the first time? And you still have the nerve to blame her? "
Zhao Xingjia heard the unkindness in Ma Xiulan's tone, and also heard the contempt of the people around him after hearing what Ma Xiulan said.
He looked grim. What on earth was wrong with Mom now?
But thinking that Ma Xiulan had just received 2,000 yuan, he smiled and said:
"That's not what I meant, Mom. If you want to come, just tell me and I'll bring you here every day."
"Okay, then you'll bring me here every day starting tomorrow."
Ma Xiulan agreed.
Zhao Xingjia was dumbfounded. Normally his mother would definitely refuse. How could his mother bear to eat out every day?
When Zhao Yang heard that his favorite braised pork was out of stock and the last portion was with his grandmother, he immediately started howling:
"Grandma, Yangyang wants to eat braised pork."
Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao Xingjia also allowed Zhao Yang to pester Ma Xiulan.
Ma Xiulan would definitely ask Zhao Yang to eat, and then order two more dishes for herself and Zhenzhen.
After all, the food on the table is almost gone.
My mom was so confused. She brought two outsiders, Aunt Niu and Niu Zhaozhao, and actually ordered three meat dishes.
Usually they only order one meat dish, but sometimes they want to order two more and let my mother pay for them.
Unexpectedly, Ma Xiu Lan ignored Zhao Yang and asked Niu Zhaozhao and Zhao Xingmin to finish the braised pork quickly.
Zhao Yang wanted to grab it, but he couldn't reach it. He was so anxious that he pouted and was about to cry.
Chen Zhenzhen was dissatisfied: "Mom, how can you not even give a piece of meat to your grandson? The child still calls you grandma."
The other people eating around looked at Ma Xiulan with a strange look in their eyes.
You are such an adult, yet you still fight with your grandson for a bite of food. You are not worthy of being a grandmother.
Ma Xiulan put down her chopsticks and pointed at the three pieces of braised pork left in the bowl:
"Yangyang, if you answer grandma's questions truthfully, grandma will give you the meat."
"Why did you say a few days ago that you saw your aunt steal your mother's things? It was obviously not your aunt who stole them."
