Looking at the large pot of seafood porridge on the table, Lu Yining licked his lips, "Are we going to have such a sumptuous meal in the morning? Seafood porridge is my favorite. Thank you, Mom."
The seafood porridge contained fresh crabs, shrimps and clams, but no dried scallops. No one in the family was allergic to seafood, so when the children heard that there was seafood porridge to be had, they immediately rushed to the cupboard to get bowls.
Su Yan sat down and picked up a fried dough stick, eating it while drinking seafood porridge.
"Your dad will move the TV to your grandfather's house today and won't bring it back until the third day of the Lunar New Year. You guys should just stay home and do your homework. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy you some fruit."
The triplets knew that their parents wanted them to study hard, so even though they really wanted to keep the TV at home, they didn't dare to object, because if they objected, their parents might really give the TV away for free.
Since they can't watch TV these days, they can make other requests. Lu Yining suddenly said: "Mom, I don't want to eat apples and pears for the New Year. I want to eat sugarcane for the New Year this year."
"Okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there's any sugarcane for sale. If there is, I'll buy it for you. If not, I'll buy you some candied oranges. You still have to buy apples and pears. If you don't eat them, we adults will have some too."
"Okay, I like to eat any fruit. It would be even better if there was sugarcane."
Yesterday, Lu Yining saw a child downstairs eating sugarcane. He took an hour to finish a piece of sugarcane. He also wanted to try what sugarcane tasted like. He heard that it was sweeter than sugar.
Sugar factories in the north all use beets to make sugar, but the south still ships sugarcane to the north to sell every winter. Su Yan plans to send New Year's goods to her parents' home, and then go to the market to see if there is any sugarcane for sale. If there is, she will buy five or six pieces.
Leave two strips and cut them into about ten sections and place them in the space, then plant them two months later.
Lu Ting carried the TV away. Su Yan put down her dishes and went downstairs, then rode her wobbly bicycle to the military hospital.
The children stayed at home to clean and do their homework. Today it was Lu Yirou's turn to wash the dishes. Lu Yirou was full and wanted to lie down in bed. She took Lu Yiming's hand and shook it, "Brother, can you please help me wash the dishes?"
Just as Lu Yiming was about to agree, Lu Yining retorted, "Brother, it's easy for my sister to gain weight if she lies down after eating. Today it's her turn to wash the dishes, so let her do it.
"Sister, be good. I've poured you some dishwater. I added half a ladle of hot water to prevent you from getting cold. When you're done washing the dishes, I'll get you some clam oil to wipe your hands."
Lu Yiru pouted and could only put on her sleeves and put the bowls into the sink one by one.
Lu Yiming looked at his pitiful sister, turned around and twisted Lu Yining's ear, "Go back to your room and do your homework. I'll watch you do it. If you don't understand, ask me and I'll teach you."
Lu Yian covered his mouth and laughed secretly, thinking that his younger brother was really stupid. If his elder brother liked to help his younger sister wash the dishes, he should just let her do it. He didn't have to wash it, so why did he speak out to stop her? Now he was caught by his elder brother.
The older brother would definitely watch his younger brother do his homework before his parents came back. His handwriting was not good and he would even slap his hands.
Lu Yiming turned around and looked at Lu Yian, "Xiaoan, take a rag and wipe the table. Wash your hands and go back to your room to practice calligraphy. You can do your homework this afternoon."
Lu Yian was extremely depressed. How could he be stared at by his elder brother? He slowly stood up, rubbed his hands, and followed Lu Yiming obediently.
Su Yan used the key to open the door of her parents' house in the military hospital, and took out the New Year's dishes from the space in advance, including a basket of frozen seafood, two grass carps, three chickens, two ducks, ten pounds of meat, ten pounds of ribs, a pork hind leg, four cured rabbits, and two hundred eggs.
Ten heads of Chinese cabbage, thirty pounds each of white radish, kohlrabi, carrots, and lettuce, and ten pounds each of celery, garlic, coriander, and spinach.
100 jin each of rice and flour, 20 jin of glutinous rice flour, 10 jin each of tea seed oil and peanut oil, 5 jin of dried mushrooms, a bag each of dried kelp and seaweed, a basket each of apples, pears, and candied oranges...
Five pounds each of raisins, dried red dates, dried kiwis, dried mangoes, dried cherries, twenty pounds of dried peanuts, ten pounds of raw sunflower seeds, and a sack of cotton seeds.
Looking at the New Year's goods piled up in the house, Su Yan smiled. There were many fruits and vegetables in the house that could not be eaten and ended up being fed to livestock. It was only natural to use them to support her parents.
Every time my parents sent supplies to the house, they would tell my brother and sister-in-law that they were sent by me. My second sister-in-law didn’t believe it at first, but when she thought about the fact that the family would suddenly buy a lot of things only during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, she began to have some doubts.
Su Yan would send supplies to her family three times a year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. She would only send the most during Chinese New Year. Of course, on her parents' birthdays, she would also send them some fruits, chicken, duck, fish and meat.
As for the money, Su Yan would definitely not take it. Although her father's salary was not as high as her father-in-law's, his current salary was also over a hundred.
His brothers were all married and had their own careers, and his father wasn't short of money, so there was no need for her to give him money and let him support his two brothers.
I gave my parents so many living supplies because I had the space. I didn't want to give them money because I didn't want to be a "supporter" and spend money to support my two brothers and their entire family.
Su Yan locked the door and went straight to the surgery department to find her father Su Qingshan and told him that she was there to bring them New Year's goods.
Su Qingshan originally wanted to say something, but seeing that there were many people in the office, he just chatted casually.
"I will take a leave of absence tomorrow to bring your grandfather to live with us. His health is getting worse and worse."
"Dad, then you should go back to the city at noon!"
"good."
Su Yan was worried about what outsiders might do, so she packed the New Year's goods in woven bags. She even burned more than a dozen holes in the bags containing chickens and ducks with cigarette butts to allow them to breathe normally.
All his father needs to do is borrow a tricycle from the canteen, take the New Year's goods back to the city, and then go to the countryside to pick up his grandfather and bring him back to the city tomorrow.
