Chapter 292 Parental Love
Huang Xinran was not polite at all. She rolled up her sleeves, held the chicken wing in her left hand and the chicken claw in her right hand, and gnawed at it horizontally and vertically, her mouth full of oil.
Perhaps it was because Huang Xinran was born after she gave birth to two sons, and also because she happened to encounter the difficult three years of natural disasters when she was young.
Coupled with a negligence, Huang Xinran almost lost his life.
From then on, it can be said that Huang Xinran never suffered any material hardship again.
The two older brothers were scolded by their parents and chased and beaten with sticks, but Huang Xinran was the only one who was given whatever she wanted. Even when it came to paying for her education, her parents never said a word.
Today, with the passage of time, Liu Zhaodi's mindless doting on her and Huang Zhiye's fatherly love for her have not diminished in the slightest.
"Dad, this little rooster is so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious chicken since I went to H Province. My dad is the one who knows how to make braised chicken."
"That's right! Dad, after all these years, my cooking skills have not become rusty."
Huang Zhiye was very proud and kept serving her food: "If you like it, eat more. There are still several little roosters at home that haven't started to crow yet. I'll kill another one tomorrow... no, two, so you can have enough!"
The locals refer to young roosters that have not yet started to sing. When these roosters have already shed their feathers and are about to reach sexual maturity, they are braised with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to fry the skin. The skin is glutinous and fragrant, and the meat is tender and meaty.
Not to mention how exciting it is!
"Okay, let alone two, I won't get tired of eating two more."
Huang Xinran smiled happily and invited the two commissioners to eat: "You're welcome, the chickens we raised at home and the loach and eels my dad caught in the river are guaranteed to be delicious. Eat quickly, eat quickly, or I will eat them all if you don't."
"I'm eating, I'm eating. Uncle is such a great cook."
It's not that the two experts didn't eat, but they just couldn't let go as much as they did at home. After they tasted the food, they didn't care and just remembered to eat more.
Before we knew it, all the food on the table was eaten up.
Huang Xinran burped and put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, then stood up to clean the table.
Two specialists rushed me to wash the dishes.
Huang Zhiye felt embarrassed, but Huang Xinran was not polite and sat down to chat with his father.
I asked him about his recent situation and found that he was doing well. I then asked him why he had gone to the city and came back.
Huang Zhiye was unwilling to say anything, and just waved his hand: "Nothing. It's just that your eldest brother has enough manpower, so I came back."
"dad!--"
Huang Xinran refused to listen. "If you don't tell me, I'll go to the city tomorrow and ask my elder brother and his wife directly to see how they treat my father."
"Please don't...Okay, okay, I'll tell you, okay?"
Huang Zhiye was helpless with his daughter. He sighed and told her the whole story: "It was your eldest sister-in-law's mother who seemed to have some opinions about me going to the city. She would say hurtful things from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally. You also know your father and I. We have lived for most of our lives and have never been bullied like this. So, seeing that the children were settled and went to school, I just came back."
"I have no objection to my sister-in-law asking Yuner's grandmother to help take care of the child. However, my sister-in-law was not favored and was ostracized when she was in her natal family. Why, now that she has come to the city and is making money, has her mother completely forgotten about it?"
"Don't talk about it, it's just a matter of counting money."
Huang Zhiye sighed, "Your sister-in-law is very poor. Whenever Yuner's grandmother goes to buy groceries, she is asked to take money from the drawer. I don't think she has a fixed amount of money to spend on groceries. She never returns the remaining money to your sister-in-law. That time when she bought popsicles, I saw her take ten yuan from the drawer. She bought six in total. I thought I would get a share, so I thought I might as well try some..."
"It's my fault that I was greedy. I took one after finishing my work. As a result, she got noisy..."
"A popsicle is only five cents. She complained when I ate my son's five-cent popsicle. She put the change from the ten-dollar popsicle in her pocket, so why didn't she say anything?"
"At the time, I thought I could just bear with it, but she kept nagging me, getting louder and louder, and even overturned your eldest brother's bowl. I immediately got angry..."
Needless to say, things naturally got more chaotic afterwards.
Huang Zhiye didn't want to make things difficult for his son, so he packed his bags and returned to his hometown.
"Brother didn't say anything?"
"You don't know, but your eldest brother's business now depends on your eldest sister-in-law."
In other words, Big Brother doesn't dare...
Huang Xinran was very angry.
"Dad, don't be sad. Big brother has you in his heart, but he is too worried, so..."
"I'm not angry with your eldest brother. I know it's hard for him too. Not only are the children growing up, but he's also under a heavy burden right now. He has three children to support, and there's also the fine for his grandson and the increased food prices... It all costs a lot. It's not easy for him!"
Huang Xinran: “…”
As parents, we cannot bear to blame our son.
"I know. I'll go back and see my nephew. Is that okay?"
Huang Xinran said this, but in his heart he had made up his mind that he must go and see what kind of person his eldest sister-in-law's mother was.
If possible, she doesn't want to make things difficult for her elder brother.
She didn't want others to think that she, a married sister-in-law, was so nosy that she even interfered in her eldest brother's room.
Huang Xinran rested for a night at her mother's house. After breakfast the next morning, she took a bus into the city again.
Huang Zhiye was really planning to slaughter another chicken, but was stopped by Huang Xinran.
"Dad, I have something to do. Don't kill chickens today. I'll call you when I come back and you can kill chickens later."
"Can't you have lunch before going back? I'm quick, so I'll definitely have meat for lunch."
"Business matters, every minute counts. Dad, I'm leaving now. I'll come back when I have time. Anyway, I don't plan to go back to H Province in the next few days."
"That's fine. Call me in advance later."
Huang Zhiye finally gave in to her, put the chicken aside, went back to the house and packed some snacks for her to take on the road.
As she got into the car, her father's figure became farther and farther away, and Huang Xinran felt very complicated.
Whether it is her husband's family or her own family, the time she can stay there is very short.
Come to think of it, she is so unfilial!
Huang Xinran did not go directly to the city to find her elder brother. Instead, she went back to the red date forest and infused the trees with spiritual power again before going into the city to find her elder brother.
The scenery around the two shops seemed to have not changed at all.
On the contrary, the furnishings and the front and back of her two shops had changed.
Huang Xinran said the front had changed because a shed made of asbestos tiles was added to the front of the original shop, extending two or three meters out of the shop. On one side of the shed were various pots for selling small skewers, and on the other side was a sewing machine, where the eldest sister-in-law Wenying was pedaling to make clothes.
