Chapter 191 It’s better to make a piece of barbecued pork

In addition to taking care of the children, she also usually cooks for her daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

So, Wu Sanfeng didn't want to watch it anymore and she wanted to go home.

As a grandmother, she has done her best. She took care of the child for the first three months and paid for the milk powder.

She felt she could do it.

The main thing is that if she stays any longer, she might collapse unconscious one day.

She really felt tired during these three months.

I suggested to my daughter and son-in-law, "I will go back home after the Chinese New Year. Ying Huai, let your mother come over to see us. She has been really tired these past few months."

Zhou Yinghuai had no objection, "Okay, Mom, go back and have a good rest."

After all, she is not my biological mother, and it is always uncomfortable to live under the same roof with my mother-in-law.

It just so happens that his mother also wants to come over to take care of her grandson, so let her come.

But Gu Li was not very willing. "Why, mom, why are you going back? You have nothing to do when you go back. You might as well stay here and help me take care of the child. My mother-in-law can't take care of the child with her health condition."

Wu Sanfeng was so angry after hearing this that her liver ached. She really wanted to say that giving birth to you would be worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork. You don’t feel sorry for your own mother, but you feel sorry for your mother-in-law.

Was she kicked in the head by a donkey?

Wu Sanfeng said directly, "I am not in good health to take care of a child. I have been feeling dizzy lately and I am afraid I will drop your son one day."

She wasn't lying. She really had been feeling dizzy, having chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and was feeling uncomfortable all over.

Gu Li, "Mom, stop it, it's not that serious."

What her mother meant was that she was not feeling well and was taking care of her son.

Her son is very easy to take care of. He hardly makes any noise. He only cries when he is hungry, poops or pees, but he is quiet the rest of the time.

Wu Sanfeng didn't want to talk anymore. She just felt that she was really overestimating herself. Why did she compete with Su He at the beginning? Looking back now, it was really ridiculous.

Don’t talk about anything else, just look at the lady, look at what the other lady looks like, and then look at her lady.

It's simply unbearable to watch.

When Zhou Yinghuai was not around, Gu Li talked to Wu Sanfeng about why they had to go back. Living in the capital was no better than living in the countryside.

"Come on, I'd rather live in the country."

Wu Sanfeng said that at least living in the countryside was not as tiring as it is now.

Gu Li, "But mom, Ying Huai's mom is here, I'm not used to it, what if I quarrel with her?"

She is not stupid and knows very well that daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will quarrel if they live under the same roof for a long time.

The reason why Su He's aunt and her mother-in-law didn't quarrel was because they didn't live together. Su He went to work every day, and her aunt Gu always responded to her daughter-in-law's requests.

In a word, if you have money and don't live together, there will be fewer conflicts.

Her mother-in-law seems okay at the moment, but she doesn't think she's that good either.

Maybe because she was poor, she had to be frugal in everything, and that feeling made her very uncomfortable.

She had never met Zhou Yinghuai's family in her previous life, but she heard from her cousin that her mother-in-law was very nice to her, so she thought she was very nice. Unexpectedly...she was just so-so.

When she went to his house during the Chinese New Year, there were only four dishes served, three of which were vegetarian, either fried potatoes or cabbage, and the only one was pickled, a few slices of pork belly, vermicelli and sauerkraut stewed with it.

It looks very shabby, but in their hometown, when their son brings his girlfriend back, they have to stew a chicken, or at least stew a chicken and make dumplings.

But his family doesn’t have that, and they only have these few dishes during the Chinese New Year.

She endured it for Zhou Yinghuai's sake. After all, she would live with Zhou Yinghuai in the future and would not be his family.

Gu Li thought that this was just a test from God. Who made her choose the rich second generation instead of Zhou Yinghuai in her last life? So this was what she should bear.

But now she has to ask her mother to come over to look after the child, and she is not used to it!

Wu Sanfeng raised her eyes and said, "It's just a quarrel. It's no big deal. It's normal for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to quarrel."

"Besides, you'll be at school when the semester starts and won't be at home during the day. What's there to argue about?"

Gu Li, "But mom, can't you stay? Take care of the kids until they are two years old, and then I will send them to a nursery."

Wu Sanfeng didn't want to scold him, but he couldn't stand it.

"Gu Li, you are not a child anymore, can you please use your brain? I, your mother, have been taking care of your baby day and night for three months. I haven't had a full night's sleep. I am really tired."

"Can you please have some conscience?"

Gu Li was also angry, "Mom, what are you talking about? Okay, okay, go back."

"I am a daughter after all. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out of the water. You were unwilling to take care of my child for three months, but you took care of my three brothers' children for several years without a single complaint."

Wu Sanfeng was so angry that he stood up and slapped Gu Li in the face, cursing, "Fuck you, are you talking like a human being? You are the one I love the most among the four children......"

Wu Sanfeng never expected that her daughter would say such a thing.

Not to mention the time before she went to college, since she went to college, she has spent almost six hundred yuan last year and this year.

None of her three sons spent that much money on marrying their daughters-in-law.

Not to mention the money she gave to buy milk powder and other things.

The mother and daughter had a big quarrel. Gu Li also knew how her family treated her. She was just angry and said those words in anger.

However, Wu Sanfeng was determined to go back, and Gu Li couldn't stop him, so she had to let her mother-in-law come.

While this family is in chaos, Su He is very harmonious.

Changyi and Changan did not go back home for the New Year, but went to their third uncle's house to celebrate the New Year.

The Feng family villa was returned, and there were plenty of rooms to live in. Feng's father and mother also returned before the Chinese New Year.

They were very emotional. When they were first sent down, they were looking forward to going back and finding out everything again.

But later, as time went by, year after year, ten years passed, and there was still no movement, they thought they would stay in the country for the rest of their lives.

I never thought that I would be able to come back one day. I went to the countryside in 1967 and came back in the winter of 1979.

Twelve whole years.

Fortunately, the boat has passed through thousands of mountains, and the days to come will be good.

It can be said that Father and Mother Feng are more familiar with Changyi and Changan than their two grandsons. In the past twelve years, they have only seen the elder one once, and the younger one has never seen him at all, except for seeing his photos.

As for Changyi and Changan, it might be a bit too much to say that they saw each other every day, but they were in the same village and the two children would deliver things to their homes every few days, so they were very familiar with each other.

Seeing how familiar her parents were with her sister-in-law's two children, Feng Shuning knew that her parents were living well in the countryside.

The eight of them had their New Year's Eve dinner at home. Father and Mother Feng stewed the local chickens they brought with them. Over the past twelve years, they have learned everything about raising chickens and cattle.

And growing vegetables.

Feng's mother said, "When spring comes, clean up the front and back yards of our villa and I'll plant some vegetables. It's just sitting there anyway, so why not plant some vegetables?"

The front and back yards of their villa used to be planted with flowers.

Father Feng said, "Okay, I'll clean it up for you when the time comes."

Feng Shuning felt upset after hearing this. She said, "You two are already old, why are you both fussing around? Just take a break. There are plenty of vegetables in the vegetable market."

Feng's mother disagreed, "How can the ones grown at home be the same as those sold at the market?"

She thinks the ones she grows at home are delicious.

"I also want to raise some chickens, but our yard is too small and there is no space."

Feng Shuning said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you go back to school?"

Father Feng said, "Your mother and I are too old to go to school anymore. We are retired."

Mother Feng: "That's right, I just want to grow vegetables, I don't want to do anything else."

The couple are tired, and their future lives will be just like those old men and women, planting vegetables and taking a stroll. As for going back to school to teach or something... Alas, they have been teaching for more than 20 years, and it is time to take a rest.

Feng Shuning brought this up because she was afraid that they would be bored.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. My parents-in-law and uncle and aunt will come over after the New Year, and you can go for a walk together then."

Father Feng, "That's fine. I'll go fishing with your father-in-law and your uncle Gu."

The couple went fishing every day. The village secretary and team leader of Xiangyang Village were very kind to them and did not need them to herd cattle every day.

So he went fishing with them, and it was quite interesting.

People in Soho are also having New Year's Eve dinner.

A big table.

Because she will be leaving after the New Year, my mother has not been saving money on cooking these few days. We eat white flour or white rice every day, and even less vegetables.

There is a chicken for each meal, and two meals a day are both stewed chicken.

Even Su He, who loves chicken, is a little tired of it.

So on the New Year’s Eve dinner, I changed the recipe and made spicy chicken, which was quite delicious.

Gu Jianhua suggested, "This dish is not difficult to make, we can add it to the menu of our pie shop."

Mother Gu said, "Add it. Xiaohe's stir-fried pork is also good. You can add it in."

"There's also Kung Pao Chicken and Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables," said Su He.

These four dishes are all Sichuan cuisine and they all taste very delicious.

"But our pie shop specializes in pie, so a dozen or so hot dishes are enough."

Gu Jianhua counted and said, "Currently we have our father's specialty, braised spareribs, deep-fried meatballs, spicy tofu, dry tofu with hot peppers, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, spicy shredded pork, roasted eggplant, braised hairtail, deep-fried hairtail, shredded potatoes, and the four I just mentioned."

"These are all hot dishes. For cold dishes, I can think of smashed cucumber, cold fungus, and peanuts."

Father Gu listened and said, "These are enough. How many dishes do you want?"

Gu's mother agreed, "We don't know how to make anything too complicated, so we'll just keep it simple."

Ever since their son and daughter-in-law expressed the idea of ​​letting them become chef bosses, both the couple have a different mindset.

When opening a restaurant, you have to consider the dishes. There are no green vegetables in the winter, and in the summer, the vegetables may go bad if left for too long. For example, dried tofu must be eaten the same day you buy it, otherwise it will have a bad flavor the next day.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, you guys take care of it."

"But on Sundays, I can also go to the store and help cook some dishes."

Comrade Gu Jianhua is somewhat interested in cooking, especially cooking for others. He feels that he has a talent for being a chef.

The staple food for the New Year’s Eve dinner is not stuffed cakes, but dumplings. I didn’t feel like eating stuffed cakes anymore in the past few days.

But Gu's mother said that after today, we still have to eat pancakes.

She is getting more and more adept at making pancakes now and basically has no problems at all.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone went to the yard to set off firecrackers.

The last day of 1979 passed like this.

The next day, 1980 arrived.

On New Year's Day, I still visit those few families to pay New Year's greetings.

I'm going to the capital and won't be back for a while.

Gu's father and mother talked for a while with the second branch of the Gu family, mainly with Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu.

Although Mother Gu no longer considers Aunt Gu Zhang Xiuying as her rival, she still can't help showing off in front of her when her son and daughter-in-law are going to take them to the capital to retire.

"We have no one to talk to in the capital, and the children insisted on taking us there."

"I said it was good in the countryside, but Jianhua and Xiaohe said they were worried about us and would only feel relieved if they took us to the capital. I like living in the countryside and don't like the city. It's inconvenient to do anything."

Gu's mother seemed to be complaining but was actually showing off.

The two were sisters-in-law and had been fighting for most of their lives, so how could Zhang Xiuying not understand what she meant? Zhao Jinzhi was just showing off to her.

But she couldn't find any words to refute it. Although she gave birth to three sons, none of them were as successful as one son of another.

Similarly, the three daughters-in-law are not as good as the one daughter-in-law of other people, and the grandchildren are even worse, they are completely different from other people's grandchildren.

The younger granddaughter was more motivated and was admitted to university, but the other granddaughter was even more motivated and was the top scorer in the province in the college entrance examination.

And now, the granddaughter is studying hard and will become a diplomat after graduation.

Her granddaughter got pregnant and gave birth to a child.

If her granddaughter was an ordinary rural girl and gave birth to three sons in her husband's family, she would feel very proud. But her granddaughter is a Peking University student!

Why do you, a college student, want to have a baby so early?

The child was born, but they still don’t know what the child’s father looks like.

He couldn't raise his head in front of Zhao Jinzhi already, and now he couldn't raise his head even more.

No matter how unhappy I am, who is Zhang Xiuying? She has lived for more than sixty years and is the best at pretending.

She smiled amiably and said, "If the children ask you to go, just go. They just want to show their filial piety."

It is said that appearance reflects the heart, but Zhang Xiuying seems to have been born with a kind face, and speaks in a gentle and amiable manner.

But Gu's mother spoke in a crackling voice, like hail after rain.

And Zhang Xiuying is the drizzle.

Su He is 38 years old this year, but her mind is still very simple sometimes. For example, when Gu's mother chatted with Second Aunt Gu, if she didn't have the script, she would definitely think that Second Aunt Gu was very gentle and kind-hearted.

You are almost forty years old and still don’t know how to judge people.

Dexiu Gu's mother is not the kind of mother-in-law who hides ulterior motives. She says whatever she thinks. If she had a mother-in-law like that, she would probably suffer a great loss.

Gu's mother heard Zhang Xiuying say that, but she knew that Zhang Xiuying must be furious in her heart.

After all, they have been sisters-in-law for so many years, who doesn't know who?

I understand it very well.

Humph, what's the matter? I fought with her all my life, and when I was young I boasted about having three sons and laughed at her for having three daughters.

But so what? Her three daughters are all doing well, and their children have all been admitted to college.

Not to mention their son. They didn't know where they found such a good daughter-in-law, who gave birth to two pairs of twins, dragon and phoenix grandchildren.

Later, he was admitted to university, which made his mother very excited.

She felt that there were probably not many families like theirs even in the big city of their home country.

We have to admit that their family is a bit lucky.
