"Aunt Spider, use your money to buy some meat, and if you have bills, they'll all be given to you~" After playing with the small yellow croaker, Lu Siqi grabbed a handful of bills and gave them all to her.
Give it all to her... Cheng Zhenzhu marveled at the little girl's generosity, then with a touch of regret, she bundled the ticket up. "This ticket can't buy meat here." Meat coupons weren't universally accepted; those issued could only be used locally. Of all the tickets, only a few national grain coupons were valid.
"However, I can fry meatballs for you in the afternoon." The meatballs she mentioned were actually beef meatballs. She bought dozens of kilograms of them at the beginning. She ate them and refreshed them at the same time, so there are still quite a few left.
"We ate it the day before yesterday, and we're eating it today too?" Yitiao said in disbelief. Mom only made croquettes once in a while before. She's making them every other day this time? He felt like he was about to faint from happiness!
His three eyes sparkled. As expected, having younger brothers means having lots of delicious food. He wants lots of younger brothers!
"Well, let's eat today too." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, stood up, took out a notebook and put it in the password box. From now on, she would keep a good account of the two little kids' food, clothing and other expenses...
"Mom, you are so kind!" After getting the affirmative answer, the kids laughed so hard that their mouths almost split. They didn't care about money, bills, or yellow strips anymore. They kept circling around Cheng Zhenzhu, and then were isolated outside the kitchen by Cheng Zhenzhu.
Twenty minutes later.
"Mom, let me divide it." Yi Tiao stared at the large plate of fried meatballs in the center of the table, eager to try.
"Okay, use a big spoon and don't slip off the table." Yitiao is a good brother who values fairness, so Cheng Zhenzhu confidently handed over the right to divide things to him.
"One for mom, one for me, one for the oldest brother, one for the second oldest brother, one for the sixth one, one for the seventh one, and one for the eighth one." He turned the spoon in a circle, swallowed the meatballs in one gulp, and continued to distribute them.
The two of them were busy biting into the meatballs. The meatballs were stuffed with gravy, and when you took a bite, it tasted like pee...
In the end, Cheng Zhenzhu got six beef meatballs. One, two, three, and six brothers got four meatballs each, while the seven and eight brothers with small arms and legs got two meatballs each.
This afternoon snack consisted of about a pound of beef meatballs. If it weren't for the space's refresh function, she wouldn't have dared to do this. But after finally getting the golden finger's blessing, she had to make the most of it...
Lu Jianxian finished a beef meatball and found it particularly delicious. After savoring it for a while, he climbed down from the table under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, and "thump thump thump" brought his snack jar, picked up the remaining beef meatball and was about to throw it in.
"Qi Tiao, what are you doing?" Er Tiao was puzzled.
Everyone is puzzled.
"Leave the good ones to mom..." Lu Jianxian's voice was childish, but his words were caring and well-behaved, and he was so sensible that it was endearing.
San Tiao frowned slightly, "It will stink."
"Stinky?" Lu Jianxian tilted his little head and looked at Cheng Zhenzhu.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded. "This is hard to store. Jianxian should eat it first. Auntie can make it later, okay?"
"Okay~" Lu Jianxian nodded softly, holding the can and continuing to enjoy the delicious beef meatballs. His younger brother Lu Siqi, who was standing next to him, had already finished two and was looking around eagerly for his target.
Liu Tiao met his gaze and immediately lowered his head, munching on his dry beef meatballs. Ba Tiao was such a big eater, always asking him for more after he finished. No, no, no...
San Tiao thought for a moment and generously pushed the bowl out. "Eight Tiao, I'll give you half. Seven Tiao, half too."
"Crab, crab, brother San Tiao~" Lu Siqi smiled happily, took a bite, and passed it to his brother. Lu Jianxian also said happily, "Crab, crab", and then the two brothers took a bite and divided the meatball.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the two little dumplings and felt that they seemed to be getting rounder. However, after eating greasy food every day and having snacks every now and then in the afternoon, it would be a shame if they didn't gain some weight.
After a few days of eating like this, time flew by and it was the 16th day of the first lunar month. It was the day when school started for Yitiao and Ertiao. The two brothers called the eldest and second children from Yumei's house upstairs, looked at the door with reluctance and went to school.
When You Yumei had some free time, she went to Cheng Zhenzhu's place again. Last time, she brought several large boxes of things to the island and landed in Zhenzhu's yard. Many people on the island saw it and started a lot of discussions, with all sorts of unpleasant and abusive comments...
"Sister Zhenzhu, you've moved so many things here. Are the two boys from Gu Zhiqing's family really going to live here with you for a long time?" You Yumei pulled Cheng Zhenzhu aside and asked in a low voice.
Last time, Zhenzhu told her that something was wrong with Gu Zhiqing and none of their relatives could help, so the two sons had to stay here for a while. Judging by the huge boxes they'd been carrying a few days ago, they'd probably moved their entire family here, and they'd be staying for at least a few months.
"Yeah." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, saying nothing more. Although she hadn't concealed the identities of the two children from Sister Yumei, she had only partially revealed the truth for various reasons. Now she could only speak less to avoid making mistakes.
"Sister Pearl, you are so kind-hearted. You helped raise a six-legged cat, and now you are helping someone take care of a child. But if you have money, people will remember your kindness. Anyway, don't pay attention to those who say sour words. I think those people are just thinking too much and their eyes hurt..."
Seeing that Cheng Zhenzhu didn't talk much, You Yumei thought that she was affected by the rumors on the island, so she said a few words to comfort her.
Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Sister Yumei, don't worry. I don't care what others say. They have their mouths on their bodies, so they can say whatever they want. I am at home with my children, eating well and sleeping well. I am very carefree."
"Sister Pearl, you are right to think so! Speaking of which, these two little kids are really handsome and seem obedient and sensible." You Yumei glanced at the four kids in the room who were getting along well with each other and said happily,
