If Su Ruanruan looked at the breakfast from the perspective of the conditions before she traveled through time, she would think that the breakfast was too light and the nutrition was unbalanced.
But Su Ruanruan knew that in this era, such a breakfast was already very sumptuous.
The Fu family has a large population and a large labor force, so they earn more work points and can get more food.
The summer harvest had just passed, and the distributed grain was piled up in the warehouse. When cooking porridge, people would put an extra handful of rice in it, and they would also dare to scoop half a ladle of white flour into the cornmeal steamed buns so that the buns would not be so irritating to the throat.
But not every household in the production team has this condition.
Some people did not earn many work points because of laziness, and some people earned few work points because of the labor force in their families. Even if they had just received food, they did not dare to eat it freely. The porridge was so thin that you could use it as a mirror. That was really bland.
When the original owner was at the Su family, he rarely had the chance to eat breakfast like this one.
Su Ruanruan felt fortunate and grateful in her heart.
Luckily, she wore it on her wedding night.
If I had come through here a few days earlier, I would probably be working on an empty stomach at the Su family now!
Thinking this in her heart, Su Runrun looked at the dining table with an even more pious look.
As I was looking at it, a steamed bun appeared in front of me.
Fu Wenjing handed a steamed bun to Su Ruanruan, "Don't just stare at it, eat it quickly, it will get cold soon."
Everyone at the table looked at Su Ruanruan at the same time.
Being stared at by so many people at the same time, Su Runrun's face turned red, but she still reached out to take the steamed bread, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Just eat!"
As Fu Wenjing spoke, he picked up another steamed bun and bit off one third of it in one bite.
It's clear that his eating style should be a bit rough, but because Fu Wenjing is good-looking, people still think his eating style is very good-looking.
Su Runrun stared at Fu Wenjing for a few seconds before lowering her head to eat her own food.
The steamed corn bread has a strong aroma of cornmeal when you put it in your mouth, but because it is made of white flour, it doesn’t make your throat ache and is still chewy. It was the healthy whole grain that many people pursued before Su Ruanruan traveled through time.
The pickles are crispy, the soybean paste is sweet with a hint of spiciness, and the stir-fried beans, eggplants and peppers retain the most original flavor of the vegetables. Everything is delicious.
Wang Maoni drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before asking Liu Xiu'e, "Which brigade did you say that girl is from? Which family?"
"The daughter of the old Wang family from the Changxing Production Brigade next door is called Wang Cuizhi. She is only eighteen, one year younger than our eldest child. She just graduated from high school last month. Don't you think this is a coincidence? She is such a perfect match for our eldest child! She also has a job, working in the county textile factory."
Wang Maoni's face was indifferent. "He's so good. Da Wa only graduated from elementary school and isn't even a worker. How can she look down on him?"
"Why does she look down on him?" Liu Xiu'e was immediately unhappy. "Our eldest boy is tall, good-looking, strong and capable. He can earn full work points at the age of 19. Looking at the entire production team, how many people can compare with him? Why does she look down on him?"
"From what you said, it seems like it's already been decided?"
Liu Xiu'e smiled and said, "Mom, you haven't agreed yet, how can it be finalized? I just asked someone and they don't have any major objections. There is just one thing. Doesn't she work in the county textile factory? It's not convenient for her to walk to work every day, so she wants a bicycle. If we can buy her one, then it will be done."
"Is she marrying Da Wa or the bicycle?" Wang Maoni's voice rose eight octaves. "Do you know how much a bicycle costs?"
"It's not like we can't afford it. Old Seven sends back more than 20 yuan in allowance every month!"
"You also know that it was sent back by the seventh child!" Wang Maoni's voice became louder. "The allowance sent back by the seventh child was to honor me and your father. Was it used to buy a bicycle for the eldest child to marry a wife?"
"Then the seventh brother has not been home for so many years, he doesn't take care of the housework at all, and he can't fulfill his filial piety. Aren't we the ones who are filial to you and dad? As an uncle, isn't it his responsibility to buy a bicycle for his nephew to get married?"
"Should be bullshit!" Wang Maoni spitted at Liu Xiu'e's face, "You and the eldest brother should stay away from me. I don't want you two to be filial to me. You two can only give me 20 yuan a month, and I won't let you manage anything at home!"
"We are not the seventh brother, how can we have that kind of money..."
"If you don't have the money, shut up! You don't want to pay and you don't want to contribute, what are you dreaming of?
I've been dreaming since I woke up in the morning, and I've been farting and chattering non-stop. Boss, can you please control your wife?
"The seventh brother didn't even buy a bicycle when he got married, and you still want to use his money to buy a bicycle for the eldest brother's wife. What a pipe dream! Just give me a good meal, and if you keep nagging, go back to work in the fields!"
Wang Maoni started to rant wildly, and the yard suddenly fell silent.
Liu Xiu'e shrank her neck like a quail and never dared to look up again.
The breakfast ended in this strange silence.
People of this era have all lived through hard times and experienced hunger, so they are reluctant to waste food.
Everyone drank up all their porridge, there was not even a crumb of bread on the table, the fried dishes were finished, but the pickles and soybean paste were not finished, but they could be eaten for the next meal.
Today it is the eldest wife's turn to cook, so naturally she is also the one to wash the dishes.
Fu Lao Da and Liu Xiu'e had a daughter and a son. The daughter was married, and Liu Xiu'e didn't let her son help her with housework. Fu Lao Da would help her fetch water, but she had to wash the dishes by herself.
According to the rules of the Fu family, whoever's turn it is to cook and wash dishes can go to work later that day, or even not go.
In the past, when it was Liu Xiu'e's turn, she would not go to work. She would slowly wash dishes, feed chickens, and sweep the floor at home, and then start to cook lunch when it was almost time.
But this time, seeing that everyone else in the family was going to work, Liu Xiu'e stopped Su Ruanruan and said, "Seventh sister-in-law, you don't have to go to work these few days, so you can just sit there and help your sister-in-law clean up the dishes. There are so many dishes, I don't know how long it will take for my sister-in-law to clean up all by herself."
Su Runrun looked at Liu Xiu'e, the corners of her mouth curved upwards, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she revealed a sweet smile.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not idle. Wen Jing said he would take me to the county town, so we're about to set off."
"Go to the county town?" Liu Xiu'e's voice suddenly rose. "What are you doing in the county town? Seventh brother's wife, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we women should behave ourselves after we get married. Going to the county town to hang out will easily lead to gossip."
"I'm going to the county town with my man, what do people say?" Su Ruanruan asked back, "Whoever gossips is jealous of our good relationship! Sister-in-law, you can't be jealous of my relationship with Wen Jing, right?"
