Huang Mei and Lao Zhang's family were from the same village. They had been comparing their lives from before to after their marriage. Hearing this, she was furious and immediately shouted, "I didn't think so before. Lao Liu persuaded me that he had done well in the exam and would definitely go to university and be supported by the government. He told me not to worry. He also said that after graduation, I would eat meat with his father every day."
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe that Zhu Youliang could get into university. Just as she was about to say a few more sarcastic words, she heard the old man calling her from inside the house to pick up some food, otherwise there would be none left. She hurried back inside.
After passing Old Zhang's house, the old couple went their separate ways. Old Zhu turned and went to his eldest brother's house, while Huang Mei went straight home.
Song Hehua was cooking. When she heard Huang Mei come back, she was a little unhappy, thinking that Huang Mei would eat at Zhu Youliang's house. When Huang Mei came in with a piece of meat, she smiled and asked, "Mom, did Lao Liu buy this?"
"Well, they say it's a filial tribute to me and your father. But look at this piece of meat, it's a full two pounds. How much can your father and I eat? We're all thinking about your family." Huang Mei said as she took a large bowl and filled it with the meat. She continued, "Let's cook it tonight. It's hot, so we can't help but cook it."
"Oh, I knew that Lao Liu is a man of conscience. It's a pity that it's too late, otherwise with so much meat, it would be great to make dumplings." Song Hehua shook the bowl and said, Lao Liu is really shameless, he has only been working for a few months, but he dares to spend money like this. He still needs their help when distributing food.
Zhu Youtian said, "Sixth Brother, you didn't bring all the meat, did you? Send some to them after it's cooked."
Song Hehua: "..."
Huang Mei waved her hand. "It's all good if you have that intention. Lao Liu bought a lot of meat. Not only that, he also bought a white porcelain pot for me and your father. I heard that he modified a table fan, and the machinery factory rewarded him with a lot of money, about two hundred."
Song Hehua was surprised and asked, "What? Two hundred?"
Huang Mei glared at her. "What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that others won't know? I told you not to tell anyone about this. You don't know what's going on with Lao Liu's family. If someone asks to borrow money, will you lend it to them or not?"
Song Hehua hurriedly said, "Mom, I know, I'm just happy for Lao Liu!"
"Okay, let's cook. Where are Xiangxiang and Dunzi? Their sixth uncle even brought them some malt sugar." Huang Mei said as she was about to go out.
"I asked Xiangxiang to teach Dunzi to read. Dad is right. Studying is good for children." Song Hehua nodded after she said that.
"That's because your father has crossed more bridges than you have walked."
