Zhang Guifen finally reacted and looked down, she was even more surprised!
"So much meat has been cut!"
Poorer families may not even be able to eat meat in a year.
The people living in these tube-shaped buildings are treated pretty well, but they can't always have food to eat.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone as generous as Lin Jiaojiao to cut so many things at once!
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and opened the bag.
"Yes, today's pork is very fresh, and it's pork belly. I also bought five kilograms of rice."
Having said this, he looked at Li Qiufen with gratitude.
"Mom is so good to me. Not only did she give me some dowry, but she was also worried that I would suffer over there. She changed her money into tickets and gave them to me. How could I bear to see them suffer?"
"It doesn't matter if I suffer a little, I just want to see my family live a better life. That way, even if life on the island becomes difficult after I get married, I'll feel better. I think my mother usually can't bear to let me go, so I just replace the money I use for travel expenses with food."
“…” Li Qiufen stared at the meat and rice.
I didn't expect Lin Jiaojiao to exchange so many things back.
Zhang Guifen was standing by with a face full of envy: "I just told your mother that you are the most filial girl. You always think about you two in everything. Just wait for your happiness in the future. When I see you, I think of my dead girl. I am so envious!"
"Aunt, please don't say that. Xiaoyue is also very good. I haven't done enough."
When Zhang Guifen heard this, she unconsciously felt guilty for saying those harsh words just now.
This Li Qiufen is really...
However, it seems that no one said anything bad about their daughter!
Hey? What were they talking about just now?
Why do I have such strong hostility towards this girl?
Zhang Guifen suddenly couldn’t figure it out!
I only saw the mother and daughter next to me getting along quite harmoniously.
While the two were chatting, Lin Jinbao and Lin's father came back one after another.
Everyone was more excited than the other when they saw what Lin Jiaojiao brought back!
"Girl, I gave you the money and tickets for you to use later. Why are you buying so much now?"
"Dad, you are all my closest relatives, especially you. Although people outside say that your job is good, at least you don't have to work in the fields, but only you and our family know how tiring and boring that work is. You go out early and come back late every day, all for this family, for me and my brother. Now I'm getting married, and I'm going to marry so far away. I don't know if I can be filial to you in the future. The more I think about it, the worse I feel..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, and there was a hint of crying in his tone.
Father Lin originally felt that his daughter had become more sensible and obedient recently.
Now that I hear her understand my difficulties so well, I feel even more touched: "What a silly child! It's okay for Dad to suffer a little."
"And Jinbao, you've looked a little thinner recently. You must take good care of yourself. I won't be able to take care of you in the future, so you must be well."
"Sister, don't worry."
Lin Jinbao was touched and felt that this sister was a good person more and more.
As for Li Qiufen, after hearing these words and looking at the tangible things on the table, the anger that had been suppressed for the whole day disappeared for the most part.
The rice coupons, grain coupons and oil coupons she gave to Lin Jiaojiao were all counted.
Most of the meat coupons have been used up for three pounds of meat.
It's a bit of conscience!
However, she used to know how to cook, but today, not only did she not make breakfast, but she went out in the morning and just came back now, leaving all the housework on her alone.
This made me feel uneasy again.
"Your dad and I are really happy to see you being so sensible."
Li Qiufen agreed with a look of relief, but her expression suddenly changed. She staggered and sat down on the sofa next to her, pinching her temples in pain.
"I don't know what happened today, my head has been dizzy and it's starting to hurt again."
"Did you catch a cold?"
Father Lin was still very concerned about Li Qiufen, and hurried over to ask her a question.
Li Qiufen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I'm not really sure, I just feel weak all over."
Then he looked up at Lin Jiaojiao with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm afraid I can't make this dinner, sorry to bother you, girl!"
"What's the trouble with this? Isn't this what this girl usually does?"
Before Lin Jiaojiao could say anything, her father agreed on her behalf.
A smug smile flashed in Li Qiufen's eyes.
Lin Jiaojiao saw this and nodded with a smile.
"Of course, Mom, you have to take good care of yourself. Let me do it today!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
"But...they're all top-notch pork belly. I don't usually cook a lot of meat dishes. Could you please move a stool to the door and watch over me so I can give you some pointers when necessary? I'm afraid it won't be wasted."
"I think this is a good idea. I like the braised pork my mom makes the most. Mom, you leave it to my sister!"
Li Qiufen glanced at Lin Jiaojiao's sincere expression.
I feel secretly happy!
Isn’t this just a pillow for you when you feel sleepy?
Since someone is willing to take orders, why shouldn't she do it?
"sure."
"Then let's get started quickly!"
Lin Jiaojiao looked expectant and enthusiastically brought the meat and rice to the public kitchen.
Wash vegetables, cut meat, and cook.
At the beginning, Li Qiufen happily leaned against the door frame to give orders, deliberately tripping people up and finding fault.
But gradually, things started to go wrong!
She had just emphasized not to put so much oil, but Lin Jiaojiao's hand shook and she poured out five times the usual amount.
The amount of oil in the bottle has obviously dropped a lot!
The hearts of those who watched it were bleeding.
The meat was finally fried, but there was a problem with the rice.
At the beginning, there was not enough water, and the rice was still dry after cooking for a long time. Later, I added too much water, but it was too much, so I could only drink white porridge.
The rice has to be steamed again.
This whole process directly wasted half a pound of rice.
I finally cooked this side, but forgot to add water to the meat, so it tasted burnt.
Lin Jiaojiao was confused: "What should I do? Two pieces are already blurred?"
"Get out of the way!"
Li Qiufen looked at the two large pieces of meat with burnt sides picked out by Lin Jiaojiao, and felt so distressed that she could no longer sit still. She quickly stepped forward and took the two pieces of meat back.
"Only one side is burnt. How can you just throw away such a big piece of meat? Cut off the burnt side and you can still eat it. And there's no need to cook this rice now. You can drink it tomorrow morning. Okay, you go out, I'll do it myself!"
Lin Jiaojiao pinched her thigh hard and apologized with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mom. Don't be angry. I really didn't mean to do that. I'm just not very good at cooking meat dishes. Otherwise, I'll try again. You're already in such a state, how can I cook it myself?"
"No need, I can do it myself!"
"Mom, why are you blaming my sister? Didn't she just say she couldn't cook meat? She meant well, didn't she?"
Lin Jinbao happened to pass by the kitchen door and heard the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but start to criticize them.
