It was Zhao Guihua's first time to stew soft-shelled turtle, and she really didn't know how to do it.
Fortunately, there were helpers. Chef Li in the backyard couldn't bear to see this, so he came to help. If they didn't cook well, it would be ruined. Coincidentally, Zhuang Laonian and Zhao Guihua also invited him to come and eat together. Chef Li smacked his lips and agreed.
Although they changed the canteen, that was the leader's food. Although he was the cook, he couldn't eat it.
Chef Li has been able to work in the canteen of the machinery factory for so many years and even get food for his son-in-law. He must have some real skills. After a while, the courtyard was filled with a fragrant smell.
Several families came out to try the smell and found their way to the door of the farmer's house. When the weather was warm, they opened the windows and cooked. The smell was really rich.
"Hey, Chef Li, why are you here?"
Chef Li: "He caught a turtle. How can they cook it? I'll come over to help."
"This scent is really overbearing."
"Isn't that right? This is very nourishing."
"In spring, it is best to take supplements."
"Aunt Zhao, you bought this fishing rod about two months ago, right? But I finally got some catch, that's great."
Zhao Guihua's face instantly turned cold. Chef Li looked at it and burst out laughing. What did the person who just spoke not understand? This was not something Zhao Guihua had caught. Seeing Zhao Guihua's murderous eyes, he immediately said, "Oh, it's getting late. I should leave too."
Whoosh, whoosh, and left the battlefield.
Anyway, we can't let them drink the turtle soup. If they don't provoke me, I'll find me.
Zhao Guihua snorted coldly: "I just don't believe it."
Zhuang Laonian hurriedly said: "Old woman, you are so capable, you can definitely do it."
“That’s right!”
Zhuang Zhixi chimed in. At this time, Zhuang Zhiyuan had also returned and said, "Mom, let's go fishing together tomorrow when we have a day off. I want to try it too."
He had originally wanted to make a splash by becoming the first person in his family to successfully catch fish, but he didn't expect that his father would beat him to it. Alas, he looked at his Hutou. If Hutou hadn't suddenly suffered from food poisoning, he wouldn't have disrupted his original plan.
The whole garden was filled with fragrance, and the whole family, adults and children, gathered near the kitchen, waiting for dinner.
Wang Xiangxiu led her three children home. As soon as she reached the door, she smelled the overbearing aroma of stewed meat. Whose family was so arrogant? Stewing meat at this time? She curled her lips in jealousy, but soon she made a plan.
No matter whose family it is, it's okay for her to go and ask for some.
She walked in quickly and found the source of the smell as soon as she entered. She really hated the Zhuang family. Since Zhuang Zhixi got married, the children of the old Zhuang family have all started families. Zhao Guihua has changed her previous style. Anyway, there is meat once a week. She can smell the smell. This life is so arrogant that it really makes her depressed.
If it were an ordinary family, she would still ask for a bowl or half a bowl, but this dealer, she went to his house three times in a row and he refused to budge.
They didn't give it to her.
Wang Xiangxiu felt that this family was full of ruthless people, without any love or sympathy. His family was so miserable, if he didn't give her money, she would be dead! Wang Xiangxiu bit her lip, still thinking about how to speak. Her three sons couldn't stand it anymore. It was true that Jin Lai was a thief, but he was young, not stupid, and knew what kind of people he could steal from and what kind of people he couldn't steal from.
He silently looked at the gate of the Zhou family. You can steal from people like that, but you can't steal from the Zhuang family. The new wife in his family is a tigress.
He looked unhappy and didn't say anything. Tonglai, relying on his young age, lay down on the ground and started rolling around: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat..."
He cried out loudly, looking at his mother and glancing at the dealer, waiting for the family to give him meat.
He is so young and a boy, why not give it to him!
Zhao Guihua looked at the bear cub jokingly. The three children in this family were all more naughty than the other, and none of them had a good ending in the end. If you look at it this way, this family is a perfect match.
Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu's behavior had a profound impact on their three children.
If we talk about it in detail now, Su Jinlai is the only one among the three brothers who has never been to prison, so he still has some money.
Jin Lai has been in and out of the imperial palace since he became an adult. He walked through the detention center like he was walking through a city gate. He spent most of his life in there, and when he came out, he was always rich and poor. His wife took the children to take care of her mother-in-law and great-grandmother at home, working hard and never complaining. She is definitely the prototype of the heroine in rural dramas. She really waited for Jin Lai to turn back, but when he did, he was already in his fifties and could no longer steal.
Yinlai was hanging out with a bunch of street urchins. He was more evolved than his brother. He stopped stealing and became a gangster. He followed a bunch of street urchins to watch over the video halls, billiard rooms, and game halls. He got into fights every now and then. to watch over the halls for him. Tonglai ate meat and he drank soup. He barely didn't do any bad things and was able to live a good life. Later, he was the most stable.
As for Tonglei, he is the youngest and the most cunning of the three brothers. Unlike his two older brothers, he looks good and with his pretty face, he started a business as a gangster, specializing in flattering rich women.
It's no wonder that later on, Aunt Su and Wang Xiangxiu's life depended entirely on their son.
After all, Jinlai and Yinlai always wear silver bracelets, and they can't be relied on at all. Even Jinlai's son was raised by Tonglai. He was the first one in their courtyard to become rich. At the age of 18, he dared to find a 50-year-old rich woman from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was like having an iron kidney.
However, no matter how strong your kidneys are, they can't resist the torture.
He may not be able to do things well when he is in his thirties, but he packaged himself as a successful person with the money from the rich woman and opened a club. The club is full of tall and thin young men. You can guess what he does there without much explanation.
But even so, he still has a bunch of girlfriends outside. This guy is not really handsome, but he is popular with women and knows how to handle them. Look, although he can't get rich women, there are still many young girls outside. There are also many young girls lining up to spend money on him, which is outrageous.
But later his business was investigated, and it was said that his woman was the legal representative, so she went to jail. He was fine, and he tried a few similar businesses but failed. In the end, he led a group of young girls to do live broadcasts with sexual content... playing a gray area.
He is in his fifties or sixties and still relies on women for support.
Zhao Guihua looked at the naughty child who was rolling on the ground and asking for meat. It was hard to associate this with the pretty boy more than ten years later. She sighed and turned around and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, go to the grocery store and buy a piece of tofu and put it in the fish later."
One dish is not enough.
I also have to stew a fish.
Liang Meifen immediately said: "I'll go right away."
She took the money and hurried out. Passing by Wang Xiangxiu and her son, she forced a smile and thought to herself: Don't think I don't know that you want to take advantage of my family. With my mother-in-law here, I will lose if you take advantage of me.
Tonglai paused for a moment, then yelled again: "I want to eat meat, I just want to eat meat... wooooooo!"
Liang Meifen sneered and quickly went out. Zhao Guihua simply took out a bench, sat at the door, and crossed her legs.
Wang Xiangxiu was a little embarrassed, but she was thick-skinned, so she said shamelessly: "Aunt Zhao, are you stewing meat? Look at my child crying... He is just greedy, can you, can you..."
She turned around and thought about the previous times when she used her child as an excuse, but people didn't give her face.
What did I say at that time: The child is greedy, just spank him a few times and he will be fine! She changed her mind and said, "My mother-in-law is sick and has not recovered in the hospital. She has been complaining about a bad taste in her mouth these days. I have been thinking about buying some meat, but the meat coupons I get every month have already been used up. Can you give me some, and I will pay you back next time."
She said it sincerely, but if Zhao Guihua could listen to her true feelings, she would probably get angry.
What Wang Xiangxiu was thinking was, as long as you lend it to me, don't expect me to pay it back! Pay it back? What's the point of paying it back? I borrowed it with my own ability, how can I pay it back! Zhao Guihua saw through her little tricks, and she was completely exposed.
She smiled and said, "Xiu'er, if you say that, I'll have something to say to you. Life is not like this. No one's meat comes from the wind. You see there are so many people in my family. Even Xiaomei's grandfather is embarrassed to come over to eat. He just brought noodles. You keep asking for some, but we don't have enough to eat! Lao Li has been busy for us for half an afternoon today. We're inviting people to dinner, so we shouldn't let them eat too much, right? It's not right for you to ask for this. Besides, you just got your salary yesterday or the day before yesterday, and you don't have it today? Is it appropriate for you to say this? If you really spent it, I'll have to say something to you. Life is not as wasteful as you. It's been less than three days since you got your salary, and you've already spent it all. Are you still living like this? Don't mention that your mother-in-law is in the hospital. We all know that Lao Bai is helping your mother-in-law in the hospital. You're not secretly cooking at home and eating and drinking while your mother-in-law is in the hospital, are you?"
Zhao Guihua looked at Wang Xiangxiu suspiciously, her eyes were full of doubt. She frowned and her expression was full of disapproval.
"I didn't..."
"What! You cook for yourself at home? Okay, then I was wondering why you don't deliver meals to your mother-in-law, Wang Xiangxiu. You are such a vicious woman. Your mother-in-law still thinks you are a good person. Look at what kind of person you are. Sister Su has misjudged the person, misjudged the person!" The old man Bai came back at the same time as Wang Xiangxiu. He originally came back to ask her for money, but he didn't expect to hear such words. Even his uncle could tolerate it, but his aunt couldn't.
Even though he is obsessed with Aunt Su, and even though his son Bai Fendou is devoted to Wang Xiangxiu, old man Bai's opinion of Wang Xiangxiu can only be described as average. After all, she is not his wife, so why should he feel sorry for her?
In addition, he secretly felt that Wang Xiangxiu and the three children were a burden to Aunt Su and delayed Aunt Su and him from getting married, so he always had a vague dislike for them. Hearing this, he was even more irritable than Zhao Guihua. He immediately rushed up and grabbed Wang Xiangxiu, yelling, "You bitch, you took my and my son's salary and didn't return it to me. I thought you were a good person, but it turns out you are just greedy for money. Poor sister Su is kind and simple, but she fell into the trap of a vixen like you. You pretend to be a human being, but you are nothing!"
Wang Xiangxiu didn't expect the old man to explode suddenly. She gasped in anger: "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about, I didn't..."
"How dare you quibble? Your mother-in-law was in the hospital, but you didn't even prepare a good meal. All you had were steamed buns. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't even be able to stay in the hospital. You're such a conscienceless bitch..."
The old man grabbed Wang Xiangxiu and refused to let go, saying, "Hand over my money now!"
"You..." Wang Xiangxiu never thought that things would get to this point. The old man actually got angry at this time. Isn't it just a few dollars from him? Is it necessary to be so fierce? She pretended to be wronged and said, "Uncle, how can you say that? I didn't mean to take your money. Fighting is sick, so I am collecting it on your behalf."
"No need for you bitch!"
The quarrel between the two people quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers. Everyone hurried out to watch the fun. Some were eating and chewing on steamed bread in their hands.
Zhao Guihua was also watching with great interest. Their courtyard was like this, with quite a few extremely weird people, but if you wanted to teach them a lesson when they provoked her, Zhao Guihua had never faced them head-on and seriously.
Because, every time we were on the line, before we even started talking, the topic would be snatched away by someone else. There was nothing we could do, it was just a big mess! Even when we were arguing, someone would snatch the topic away, just like now.
Old Man Bai and Wang Xiangxiu were arguing with each other, one cursing and the other complaining, feeling extremely aggrieved.
The two of them were facing each other. Su Jinlai glared at the old man angrily, then suddenly rushed up and started beating him: "I told you to grab my mother, I told you to grab her! You old bastard!!!"
The old man almost couldn't breathe. He had watched this child grow up. From the moment he was born until now, most of the good things he ate were not bought by him. But now he actually behaved like this. What an ungrateful person.
But even so, he didn't do it. He didn't feel sorry for the child. It wasn't his own child, so he couldn't carry on the family line. A boy was bullshit. He was afraid that if he hit someone, Aunt Su would feel bad.
What he hated most was the tears of his loved ones.
"You kid, the adults are arguing, why are you making a fuss here? Get out of my way."
"You hit my mom!"
"Yes, you beat my mother."
The three boys surrounded the old white guy and beat him up quite badly.
Although they were just children, they were so sturdy that Old Man Bai was a little overwhelmed. Wang Xiangxiu was very happy and secretly said, "It's what you deserve." But she still pretended to be kind and said, "What are you doing? Let go. This is Grandpa Bai, who deserves your respect the most."
"He deserves to die if he hits you." Jin Lai said fiercely.
However, the neighbors who were watching shook their heads, thinking that Wang Xiangxiu didn't know how to educate her children. Look at what the three children have become. How much money the old man spent on their family, and now he just said "damn it". Even an ungrateful person wouldn't be so excessive.
"These three kids won't be good people when they grow up."
"That's not true, Mom. You always say you feel sorry for them and give them some food. Look, do these ungrateful bastards deserve any food? We should stay away from them in the future."
"You can tell a person's future from the time he was three years old. This kid is really not good enough."
“That’s right.”
Everyone was talking about it, and Wang Xiangxiu was very angry after listening to it, but she couldn't just lose her temper. If she lost her temper, these people might not help their family anymore in the future. What their family needed now was help from all sides, not a single bit less.
She finally cried at this time. Otherwise, Wang Xiangxiu's acting was not as good as Aunt Su's. Aunt Su's eyes were like faucets, she would cry whenever she wanted to. Wang Xiangxiu's performance was not so sincere and natural.
She said, "Let go quickly, or I will be angry. Didn't I tell you? All those who have helped us are good people. We can't be so rude. You go to school and learn knowledge, so you should be good and sensible children."
Wang Xiangxiu was still chattering, but the tofu and fish stewed by the old farmer was already out of the pot. Liang Meifen's running feet were very fast.
Zhao Guihua watched the excitement for a while and knew that this kind of thing would definitely end up in nothing. Didn't she see that Aunt Wang didn't even bother to intervene? Anyway, they couldn't make a big fuss by fighting, so they could just let them have a few quarrels. However, if Bai Fendou was there, Aunt Wang wouldn't be so calm, after all, that brat could really fight. But his father wasn't like that.
Aunt Wang and Old Man Bai have been neighbors for many years, and she knows that this guy is a big shot. If you really ask him to do something, he won't dare to do it. So Aunt Wang doesn't care.
Zhao Guihua saw that the turtle soup was ready, so she found a large bowl and took the lead in picking up a few pieces of turtle. She also picked up a lot of radishes that Uncle Lan liked, and some noodles. It was a big bowl full of soup and very affordable.
Zhao Guihua brought it out. It would have been fine if she didn’t come out, but as soon as she came out, the fragrance spread immediately. The smell was extremely overbearing.
Zhao Guihua: "Uncle Lan, I'll take it to you."
Lan Sihai was also watching the fun, and when he saw that dinner was ready, he said, "Give it to me."
He took it immediately. When Jin Lai saw the big bowl of "meat", he felt unbalanced. This matter was originally caused by eating meat. He suddenly exploded and rushed over: "Give me the meat! This is from my family!"
It is really despicable to hear such shameless words coming from a child of only ten years old.
He came up and grabbed it, which really scared everyone. Before anyone could react, they saw Old Man Lan kicking the naughty kid to the ground with a bang. He was not Old Man Bai, and he didn't dare to offend his sweetheart.
"You dare to kick my brother! You idiot!" Yinlai also rushed up to hit him. Old Man Lan grabbed Yinlai and slapped him twice.
He doesn't have a motto of not beating children. This old man's life motto is: While in life, it is enough to live freely, happily and enjoy yourself!
As for the rest, get lost.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you hitting children? They are still children!" Wang Xiangxiu screamed and rushed over, reaching out to scratch her. Old Man Lan was not polite either. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her forward with force. Wang Xiangxiu staggered forward and fell. Bang! "Ah!"
The whole person fell on the white old man! This made the white old man blush.
He has been single for more than 20 years...
Wang Xiangxiu staggered to her feet, her face also turning red.
Old man Lan put his hands on his hips and said rudely, "Wang Xiangxiu, right? Don't think that you can bully me just because I'm new here. The last person who was a thorn in my side has gone to the security department. Do you want to give it a try too? If you can't manage your children well, as a neighbor, I will kindly help you. Don't fucking think that everyone will spoil you! You are not begging for food, but you are robbing it openly? This big bowl is so hot. When your son pounced on it, is he trying to steal something or to kill someone? What if he burns someone? Your family is trying to hurt people because you think Zhao girl won't give it to you? Oh, your family is so kind, too kind. How can there be such a kind and kind family in the world?"
When saw this, they were shocked to find that this was indeed the case. Zhao Guihua's bowl was still steaming. If she had just handed it over gently, it would have been fine. But if Jin Lai had snatched it away like that, the food would have definitely spilled and would everyone have definitely scalded someone.
Looking at Wang Xiangxiu again, there was a bit more disgust.
In fact, Wang Xiangxiu was not an extremely shrewd person. If she was really that smart, she would not have been manipulated by her mother-in-law, Aunt Su, and would not have refused to remarry at such a young age and stayed in the Su family.
Old Man Lan looked at the children again and said, "Look, look at how gentle these children's eyes are. They know how to educate. They really know how to educate."
Jin Lai and Yin Lai snuggled together, looking at Old Man Lan with hatred, but Old Man Lan didn't care. He said, "I am the most friendly neighbor. If others don't want to take care of their children and let them go to my house, then I am willing to help take care of them. If this child is sent to the police station, he will definitely be sent to a juvenile detention center, and his life will be over, but he won't be beaten. At least they won't beat him to death, which is still good."
Not bad, what's good about it?
"Don't look at my age, I really like sports. If you don't want to take care of the children, just let us come to my house to find trouble or steal things. It's okay. I don't want to cause trouble to the leaders. I also want to exercise. Grandson-in-law, do you think I should exercise at my age?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course. When you get older, it's better to exercise a little. But exercise is exercise, you can just practice your fists and feet, forget about knives, forks, swords and axes. Those can easily hurt people, so don't let them kill you."
Old Man Lan glared at him: "How could I not understand this?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "You are amazing."
"vomit!"
"Zhuang Zhixi, please shut up. Are you going to eat soon?" Zhao Guihua couldn't help it!
"Aunt Zhao, you're right. Xiaozhuang, are you being mean? My family is having rice porridge tonight..." It's the same color, how can I drink it? "Forget it, my family is not planning to have dinner tonight."
"It's a good idea, but it's disgusting. I saw it last time when we rescued someone. There were feces everywhere..."
"Look at what you said. Even though there were only three people who fell, Wang Xiangxiu, Aunt Su, and the Zhou and Bai families were all covered in traces of battle."
“Hahahahahaha.”
Everyone's topic quickly changed to the big winter event! To be honest, this big event is really interesting even if it is talked about for another year, and no other story can replace it.
Amidst the nausea, there was also an excitement that was hard to conceal.
After all, many people will never see such a grand scene in their lifetime, but they are different.
They have seen it! They have experienced it! This is a feeling that others cannot experience at all. Like others? Then you can only listen to their stories. They are the ones who have first-hand gossip, first-hand! Chef Li was still chatting with Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Look, you missed such a big event because of your business trip, which is equivalent to missing an important experience in your life."
Zhuang Zhiyuan was also very sad. Everyone saw it, except him. He was the only one who didn't have it, so he became very anxious.
He said, "Who says it's not?"
He sighed: "If you ask me, Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun are really amazing. Such a big thing happened, but they acted as if nothing happened. It's really amazing. If it were an ordinary person, they would be too embarrassed to go out. They are really not ordinary people."
Chef Li nodded, and he also felt that they had something wrong with them. If it were him, he would become autistic.
Ugh, don't make that assumption.
There is no such assumption!
If he were to be replaced, he would lose his job. Bai Fendou, Zhou Qun, and Jin Lai would be in trouble. It would not matter to the children, but it would be a complete disgrace to the adults. However, if he were to be replaced, he would definitely lose his job in the kitchen.
After all, the workers work hard all day, and they don't want to eat the food cooked by a person who has been in a manure pit and eaten a lot, right? You say it has no taste and you can't eat it, but you can't get over it in your heart!
Chef Li: "They really benefited from the good job."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "I think it is because they have deeply learned the spirit of not fearing hardship, not fearing eyes, and serving the people wholeheartedly that they can withstand the huge pressure and continue to burn in their jobs, and can..."
The corner of Chef Li's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, how could he have forgotten? This guy would make a big deal out of anything as soon as he disagreed with something.
He talks about moral principles all day long, but they are all as empty as the clouds in the sky.
As they were discussing this, the other party was also discussing: "My relative insisted on staying at my house for a day a while ago. He came for no reason. After asking around, I found out that he heard that someone fell into the pit of the public toilet and wanted to come and see this magical pit and the three magical families. Those who can fight with feces on their heads are definitely not ordinary people. He wants to come and see it for himself."
"What's that? My daughter's art troupe has been transferred to another place. I heard about that, too."
"Emma, I heard that my relative from Tong County is nothing."
"That's not the case."
Wang Xiangxiu's face turned pale and blue. Why did the topic suddenly turn to this? It's been so many days, didn't she forget about it? Why did it start again?
Zhuang Zhixi, it was Zhuang Zhixi who brought it up.
He was also the one who wrote the ban on swimming, what a wicked and wicked thing.
At this time, Zhuang Zhixi flattered him again: "Grandpa, let me help you carry it over."
He took the large bowl from Zhao Guihua and passed it over: "Oh my god, it's quite hot. Mom, if Jin Lai spills it, you will definitely get burned."
Zhao Guihua looked at Wang Xiangxiu coldly.
Wang Xiangxiu: "He, he didn't do it on purpose. Besides, he didn't lie, did he? Besides, he got beaten, so he learned his lesson..."
Zhao Guihua: "If you didn't succeed, you didn't do it? Is that how you educate your children? What I said is really true, Wang Xiangxiu, you are really good."
"How can that be impossible? I'm not afraid of dirt or smell and can fight despite disgusting things." Someone responded with this sentence.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Xiangxiu really shed tears this time, biting her lip and yelling: "You just bully me, a widow. Do you know how difficult my life is?"
"What's so difficult? Aren't you still taking Uncle Bai and Bai Fendou's wages and not paying them back? It's so much money, how can it be difficult?" Zhuang Zhixi muttered softly, and everyone thought, yes, this matter has not been sorted out yet.
The old man immediately started again: "Pay back the money, pay it back quickly!"
Wang Xiangxiu saw that things were out of her control, and she wished her mother-in-law was there. If she was there, she would never let things get to this point. She cried and looked at, but no one showed any sympathy for her. She could only say unhappily, "It's not that I don't want to pay it back, but I'm going to take the money. You've been misunderstanding me, and I have to explain. Otherwise, what will happen to my reputation?"
No matter who it was, except for the three-and-a-half-year-old child, I'm afraid everyone could see that she just didn't want to pay it back, otherwise she would have gone home to get the money immediately. Why would she stay here for so long and say so much nonsense?
White old man: "Okay, give me the money."
He stretched out his hand, and Wang Xiangxiu staggered back to her home. She felt sad. Besides being heartbroken about her mother-in-law's absence, what she hated the most was Bai Fendou. If Bai Fendou was still alive, how could she be bullied? At least she could have kept a share of the money.
But that is not the case now. She can only endure the embarrassment and pay back the money.
The salaries of these two people were over 60, heading towards 70, plus her own salary, which was less than 100. It was really painful for her to take it out now. This money should have been hers.
It's a pity that Bai Fendou is not here, so she can only let herself be bullied. This useless man, no wonder she looks down on him. If the family really finds such a man, what's the use of him if he can't be used at the critical moment.
She was very angry, sighed, and went out with the money. She had originally wanted to buy a set of summer clothes for each of her children, but now, she had nothing.
She went out of the door, and with red eyes, she threw the money to the old man Bai and said, "Here, here you go! Don't say that I am greedy for your money all the time. If I hadn't seen Bai Fendou in the hospital, I wouldn't have collected it for you. He has helped me so much, and I thought it was inconvenient for him to collect the money, so I took the initiative to collect it for him. It was the cashier who asked me if I wanted to collect your money as well, so I did it by the way. Now you all want to blame me and put the blame on me, I really feel wronged. No one does things like you. Forget it, I won't argue with you about this, this money is for you, as for my family's affairs, you don't need to care!"
After that, he pulled the child up and said, "Why don't you go home? If you don't go home, people will say something bad about you. What can I say? We can't afford meat. We just eat steamed buns and drink cold water. We don't ask for anything from others. Otherwise, people will look down on us. Let's go!"
She led the child into the house with a lot of hustle and bustle, and now even Tonglai didn't want any delicious food.
In fact, although he is young, he also knows that if other families don't accept his own way, then he will get nothing. The three children followed their mother home with their heads down, and Wang Xiangxiu slammed the door.
After watching it, Zhao Guihua once again lamented that Wang Xiangxiu's level was much lower than that of Aunt Su.
She greeted, "Okay, go away, Uncle Lan, wait a minute, I'll bring you another bowl of tofu, it's very suitable for the elderly."
Old Man Lan: "If you want to say you are old, that's your own business. I am still young."
Hey, this old man is quite annoying.
Zhao Guihua thought about how she was also irritated by him in her previous life. It was not surprising at all that she was irritated by him again this time. It was really hard to describe the way this old man spoke.
But she didn't bother with the old man.
Zhao Guihua served the old man a plate of tofu. This was tofu stewed with fish. The taste of the fish was far inferior to that of the tofu. All the good flavor was in the tofu. It was very refreshing to eat. There was nothing better than it.
This time the old man didn't refuse, but he didn't go to the banker's house for dinner. He went home to eat noodles by himself.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, the old man likes to be free, let's eat together. Everyone come to the table."
Everyone was already worried. Chef Li went home and got half a bottle of Erguotou, saying, "I'm bleeding a little too."
Zhuang Laonian laughed and teased: "You didn't add water, did you?"
Chef Li: "Well, who do you take me for?"
He shook it and said, "Look, it's very good."
He said proudly: "I left this Red Star Erguotou over from the Chinese New Year. I didn't even want to give it to my old wife."
If this guy keeps talking like this, Zhuang Laonian will laugh at him: "Don't even mention one bottle, even if it's ten bottles, your old woman can finish it, can you afford it?" Everyone knows that Aunt Wang is a heavy drinker, and the few old men in their courtyard are no match for her. If she were allowed to drink, how much would she have to drink? This stuff also costs money. It's really not good.
He teased, but Chef Li was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said confidently, "So I can't give her a drink. You can drink to your heart's content when you go out to a banquet. Don't waste your own food."
Thinking about the fact that banquets cannot be held lavishly now, which is not in line with the policy, he sighed and said, "There are fewer people preparing banquets now."
This has a great impact on him. He is different from others. He is a cook, but he can earn extra money from this. Now everything is simplified, so naturally many people don't do this anymore. It's really sad to think about it.
In fact, Aunt Wang was the first one to introduce people to each other because Chef Li was a chef. They provide a one-stop service. If Aunt Wang's introduction was successful, it would be difficult for people to refuse Chef Li to prepare the meal, right?
This is equivalent to earning two salaries, but it's a pity that it's not easy to earn money now.
Chef Li felt a little sad when he thought of these things, but others couldn't understand. Zhuang Lao Ni quickly led Chef Li to the table. Several children couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Zhao Guihua said, "Don't be polite. Let's get started."
Everyone started eating immediately. Mingmei was not familiar with Chef Li, but with such good food, who cared about Chef Li? They must eat it quickly. Mingmei: "I don't want turtle, I just want radish and soup."
She is a typical person who is not hungry. She doesn't eat strange things. Rabbit is the strangest thing she has ever eaten. She doesn't eat other things, such as turtle. Although it is very nutritious, Mingmei feels weird. But she can always drink the soup.
She didn't mind this. She took a bite of the radish and her eyes lit up. She felt that the essence and deliciousness of the soup were absorbed by the radish. It was especially delicious. Radish has never had this taste before. It was completely the good taste absorbed by the stewed turtle.
She nodded: "It's delicious."
Little Swallow murmured, "Aunt, you are drinking the turtle's bath water."
Mingmei: “…”
She acted fiercely and said, "You naughty kid, are you looking for trouble? Do you believe I will spank you?"
The child quickly covered his buttocks and said, "Little Swallow, I don't dare, but Little Swallow is not talking nonsense. Little Auntie doesn't eat meat."
Mingmei snorted and said, "It's none of your business."
Xiaoyanzi scratched her sparse hair, not quite understanding it, but still said, "I want to eat meaty ones."
"Of course you want to eat it. Come, let me pick up a piece for you."
Mingmei snorted at her sister-in-law again, and then continued to eat the radish. The radish was obviously very delicious. Generally, the side dishes in such a soup would not be worse than the meat. These people just don't know how to eat. If they knew how to eat, they would not think that meat is the best.
The amount of food today is not small, but there are so many people. There are always many people at his house on weekdays, and no matter what is cooked, it always feels like it is not enough. No matter how big or small, none of them have enough food in their stomachs. Isn't that because they have a big appetite?
Zhao Guihua understood this very well. After ten or twenty years, when people's lives became better and more profitable, it would be difficult for one person to eat a steamed bun. But now, even children can eat a steamed bun. Even a tiger head can only make him 80% full after eating one.
If you continue to let him eat, he will still be able to eat.
Everyone sat together, in a lively atmosphere, and Chef Li sincerely sighed: "This is really what you have gained today."
He gave me a thumbs up and said, "If you catch a big fish in the future, you must come to me. The leader will give me special treatment. Such a rare thing is very precious."
Zhuang Laonian said: "No problem, just hold it."
Although he didn't know if there would be such an opportunity in the future, the man from the old city could still brag about it even if he was listless. He said: "My skill is just now. You don't know, when I fish, I can feel something is wrong as soon as I cast the rod..."
The men ate and boasted, but Mingmei, a young wife, ate quickly. After she finished eating, she went back to her room and lay lazily on the bed. Although she was busy all day at work, she was still more tired today. She thought about it, got up, packed her small bag, and prepared to take a shower later.
I've been in such a mess today, I have to take a shower.
Crunch...
The door opened, Mingmei looked back and saw that it was Zhuang Zhixi. Zhuang Zhixi had just drunk half a cup of Erguotou, and his face was slightly red. He came over, hugged his wife and said, "What are you doing?"
Mingmei: "Let's go take a shower later."
Then he looked Zhuang Zhixi up and down and said, "Can you go in this state?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Why not?"
He lowered his head and pecked his wife on the cheek, saying, "I'm fine."
A smell of alcohol.
Mingmei turned around, looked him in the eye, and said, "Are you really not drunk?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "No. Not to that extent."
He reached in and handed Mingmei the money and tickets from today's sales, saying, "Here, this is for you."
Mingmei was shocked when she saw the thick big unity, and said quickly: "This this..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I sold it for 300 yuan, but I bought a kitchen knife for my mother."
Mingmei nodded: "This is what we agreed on before."
She immediately pushed Zhuang Zhixi away, sat down and started counting money.
Zhuang Zhixi: "...Is money more important than me?"
He was aggrieved, Mingmei smiled and said: "Of course you are more important, but you won't run away."
She counted the money happily and said, "When I first started working, I made less than 300 yuan a year. This is equivalent to a worker's annual salary. It's really valuable."
Although she was disgusted by it when they were in the mountain, Mingmei now felt that this snake was the cutest snake in the world. A snake that would bring benefits to the people was really a good thing.
She was happy: "I have money again."
She hooked her finger, Zhuang Zhixi came over, Mingmei smiled and said, "If we save a little more this year, we'll have a thousand yuan!"
