Chapter 74 Good News
Yang Jinsheng felt wronged. He said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, now that you have an older grandson, does that mean I, your younger son, am worthless? Don't forget, I am the biological father of your older grandson. I will give birth to many more grandchildren for you in the future! You have to be nicer to me."
"..." Li Huifen looked at him in disbelief. How could her brother-in-law say such a shameless thing? He was the only one who could give birth, right?
The Yang family has a lot of money, why do they need so many grandchildren? Thinking about the little bald heads running around in this small house in the future, she felt for the first time that it was time to move and she didn't want to stay here anymore.
Su Qiuyan was also speechless. Did the third brother think of himself as a stud? He was even proud of it, right?
Sun Erni felt that her youngest son's words made some sense. She softened her tone and said, "Mom doesn't dislike you. Just go and look after the children if you have nothing to do! Wash the diapers. It's summer and there's wind at night, so you can dry them outside."
Sun Erni only breathed a sigh of relief after sending Yang Jinsheng away. This kid was jealous.
Su Qiuyan felt that Yang Jinsheng was really taking advantage, as both the youngest son and the eldest grandson were taken by the third son's family. Oh, no wonder the mother-in-law was partial!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the pot again, "Mom, should I take out all the eggs when they are ready?"
Sun Erni nodded, then observed the sumac water boiling in the pot, scooped it up with a spoon and took a look, then nodded with satisfaction. Well, the color is very bright.
"Divide the eggs into two pots and soak them in the sumac water overnight. You can give them away the next day." Sun Erni instructed Su Qiuyan and the other person to put the eggs back into the sumac water to soak.
Li Huifen looked at the eggs soaked in the red Sumu water and said enviously, "Mom, how are you going to divide these red eggs?"
"Well, let's divide it among our building! Two for each family, plus ten candies, so sixty are here. Oh, no, don't count my family first, that's fifty-eight, your Aunt Xu's family will send six, that's sixty-four. Xin Bai's family will send twenty red eggs, so the total is eighty-four, well, there are sixteen left, keep them at home!"
Sun Erni had originally planned to have some extra money, fearing that it would be embarrassing if it wasn't enough.
Li Huifen and Su Qiuyan were delighted when they heard this, "Hey, let's try what the red eggs taste like." They also wanted to share in Jiang Xinbai's joy.
"What else could it taste like? It tastes like egg! It's no different from an ordinary boiled egg, except that the color looks nice. In fact, if there were peanuts, I should have put some more in it. Red peanuts are also festive, but it's a pity that peanuts are not available." Sun Erni felt a little sorry. Peanuts are a good thing. They can be used to extract oil. They are rare on weekdays and are only available during the Spring Festival. Even then, you have to snatch them.
"Okay, let's go to bed!" Sun Erni glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Don't think about eating secretly, I've counted them."
Li Huifen and Su Qiuyan were speechless. Do they look like people who would cheat?
The next day before dawn, Sun Erni called Yang Jinsheng.
"Third brother, get up quickly. We have to go to your father-in-law's house to tell him the good news. Don't wait until your mother-in-law arrives before you leave." Sun Erni gently pulled Yang Jinsheng and shouted.
Originally, I thought that Third Brother Xinbai could just go back and tell him, but after thinking it over, I felt that I should let my youngest son go in person to announce the good news, so I got up before dawn and called for help.
"Mom, didn't you say I don't have to go?" Yang Jinsheng rubbed his eyes. The child urinated and defecated last night. In fact, he didn't sleep for long. He felt a little dizzy when he was woken up.
Sun Erni pulled him up and whispered, "Mom has thought about it, and it would be more sincere if you go there in person. I have asked your elder brother and second brother to go out to buy meat. When the time comes, you can bring twenty red eggs and a bag of fruit candy to your father-in-law's family."
"Ah, buy meat. Can I buy it today? Or should I go to the meat processing factory to have a look? By the way, I haven't asked for leave today yet." Yang Jinsheng's leave only lasted until yesterday, and he was supposed to go to work today.
"Don't worry about this. Ask your elder brother to ask for leave for you later. Get up quickly and catch the earliest bus."
"Okay, okay, I'll get up right away." After a busy period, Yang Jinsheng finally prepared everything. Then he leaned on the railing on the second floor and looked down, "Mom, can my eldest brother and second brother buy meat? Otherwise, I'll go to the meat processing factory to have a look."
"That should be possible, right? I'll ask your second brother to go farther away to buy it. We can go to two stores, so he won't run out of stock, right?" Sun Erni was a little uncertain when she said this, "How about you..."
"Mom, big brother is back," Yang Jinsheng shouted before Sun Erni had finished her words. He ran to the stairs and asked Yang Jinqiang who was walking downstairs, "Big brother, did you buy the meat?"
Yang Jinqiang panted as he walked, "I bought it, I bought it. I ran all the way back right after I bought it. I'm so tired."
Yang Jinsheng happily took a piece of pork belly from his brother and weighed it with his hand. It was about two kilograms. Then he looked at Yang Jinqiang and asked, "Brother, why don't you ride my bike? It's so tiring to walk!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinqiang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Why don't you give me the car keys? How can I ride without the keys?"
Yang Jinsheng thought about it and realized that he forgot that the only key was with him. He slapped his head and said with a smile, "Hey, I forgot. Well, brother, can you take me to the station now? I can ride my bike to work directly and ask for leave from the meat processing factory on the way."
"Just keep working as hard as you can with me. I haven't had a sip of water since I got up! The old ox plowing the fields needs to be fed. I'm working for you, tsk tsk!" Yang Jinqiang clicked his tongue twice. He was really stingy.
Yang Jinsheng was also feeling a little guilty at this moment. He patted Yang Jinqiang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, can I let you work for free? Take me to the station and I'll treat you to breakfast."
"What about me?" Yang Jinwei appeared at the corner of the stairs with an oil-paper bag in his hand, looking at them silently.
Yang Jinsheng was startled out of nowhere. He touched his hair that had stood up from the shock and said speechlessly, "Second brother, why did you hide in the corner? You suddenly made a noise that scared me to death."
"Hmph, only big brother gets to have free breakfast, right?" Yang Jinwei weighed the oil paper bag in his hand and snorted coldly.
Yang Jinsheng was helpless, why was he jealous? "I have everything, I have everything, can I ask my brother to bring it back to you later?"
"That's more like it."
At this time, Sun Erni came over with a basket on her shoulder, took the pork from Yang Jinsheng's hand and weighed it, "Well, it's two kilograms, enough, Lao Er, you can keep the piece you bought for your family to eat!"
"Mom, this time we've used up all the meat coupons for the whole month. Next time we want to eat meat, we'll have to rely on the third child."
"Rely on me, rely on me, leave it to me. Go, go." Yang Jinsheng waved his hand and urged his elder brother Yang Jinqiang.
