Mrs. Xu raised her chin: "Yes, is there any problem?"
Old Mrs. Zhang choked.
Of course she had no problem, she was just shocked.
I can't stay at my daughter's house for more than a few days, let alone follow my grandson-in-law to the army.
"No, no problem. I just think your grandson-in-law is pretty good."
When it comes to this topic, Mrs. Xu suddenly has more to say: "That's a must. My grandson-in-law is not only good-looking and capable, but also very good to me and his father-in-law."
Although Mrs. Zhang loves to chatter, she has a good heart. She is a little envious, but not jealous: "That's great. Don't we old people hope that young people will be filial to us?"
The two bought vegetables and seasonings and went home together.
Mrs. Zhang invited Mrs. Xu to her home to chat, but Mrs. Xu refused: "Next time, I have to hurry up and prepare dinner and take it to my granddaughter."
Old Mrs. Zhang was stunned: "Where is your granddaughter? Why does she need you to bring her food?"
Old Mrs. Xu said proudly, "My granddaughter works at the Public Security Bureau."
Old Lady Zhang slapped her thigh and said in a much higher voice: "This is a great job. Was it found by the deputy battalion commander's grandson-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head. "No, it's because my granddaughter won a job after making great contributions in her hometown. She thought she couldn't move here and hadn't even considered accepting it. Later, the provincial leaders helped her move here."
When Mrs. Zhang heard that he didn't want it anymore, her heart tightened and she felt sorry. But after hearing the last sentence, her heart slowly relaxed and she felt a lot more relieved.
"This leader is good, this leader is good."
The two old men chatted for a while before returning to their respective homes.
Old Mrs. Xu bought a pound of meat and a chicken, and the rest were some side dishes.
She planned to stew the hen with dried mushrooms.
Before, Mrs. Xu’s cooking was pretty standard.
Later, Xu Jiajia found two recipe books at a scrap yard.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't know many words, so she taught her one by one.
Over time, Mrs. Xu's cooking skills also improved.
The aroma of the dishes she cooks can be smelled from far away.
"Oh my, who made this dish? It smells so good!"
“It has mushrooms and chicken, it tastes so good!”
"It smells so good, I really want to eat it."
"Nana, nanny, I want to eat chicken too."
“…”
If you have any shame, just smell the fragrance wafting in the air.
Shamelessly, he came directly to ask for it.
"Sister-in-law Xu, my grandson wants to eat chicken. Can you share a few pieces with him?" The one who said this was Old Lady Hu. She was patriarchal and did not allow the five granddaughters born to her eldest daughter-in-law to join the army. She kept them all in her hometown to work and earn work points. So she brought her sixteen-year-old daughter Hu Mingyue and seven-year-old grandson Hu Yitao here to join the army.
Old Mrs. Xu had heard people mention her before and didn't have a very good impression of her. Now, seeing her mean look, she felt even more disgusted.
"No, I don't know you well, why should I give you a few pieces? Besides, don't you know how expensive chicken is?
How dare you come to my house?"
Old Mrs. Hu thought that Old Mrs. Xu was new and had to consider her face a little, but she didn't expect her to speak so bluntly and not give her any face at all.
"We all live in the same housing complex, why can't you even share a few pieces of chicken? Why are you so stingy?"
Xu Jiajia, who had gotten off work early, came back and happened to hear this. She parked her bike and looked at Mrs. Hu without blinking, "You're so generous, why don't you bring your food over to us?"
Old Mrs. Hu glared at Xu Jiajia and said, "Why should I give you my family's food? You look pretty, but why are you so vicious?"
Xu Jiajia hated people who took advantage of their age the most. She retorted directly, "You're old, but you only have wrinkles and no brains. You come here just to get a few pieces of chicken. Are my grandmas your parents or your ancestors? Are they going to support you until you die?"
Mrs. Hu was speechless after being confronted by Xu Jiajia. She pointed at Xu Jiajia in frustration and it took her a while to find her voice: "You, you..."
Xu Jiajia interrupted her expressionlessly, "You can't even speak clearly, and you're still going around visiting people everywhere. It's embarrassing."
Old Mrs. Hu felt a pain in her chest because of Xu Jiajia's anger.
She made a sound of "Pooh".
Leave quickly.
As soon as she left, Old Lady Xu came up to her and asked, "Jia Jia, why are you back?"
Xu Jiajia poured herself a glass of water and said, "I've finished what I have to do. I'm just sitting there doing nothing anyway. I might as well come back."
Old Mrs. Xu looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and estimated that it was not yet eleven o'clock. "Will your boss criticize you for coming home so early?"
Xu Jiajia instantly remembered the helpless expression on her boss's face. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she smiled and said, "No, I told the boss about it before I came back."
lead:"……"
A greeting to fight ghosts.
She was just informing him.
If you don’t know, you might think she is the leader.
Old Mrs. Xu believed it and said, "It's good that I've said hello. But your leader is quite nice."
Old Mrs. Hu was not satisfied, so she went to her neighbor's house to sow discord.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Shen's grandmother is so stingy. She cooked chicken at home and asked her to give my son Taotao a piece, but she refused."
"You don't even want a cent. That's really stingy!"
"Yeah, we live in the same compound, so we're all so close to each other. How could she do that?"
“…”
Those who don’t know the truth think that Old Lady Xu is really that stingy, but there are also rational ones, that is the Yuan family closest to the Xu family. Yuan Heye is eight years older than Shen Yuebai, but they are of the same level.
His wife is called Zhu Xiaolian, she speaks directly, without any twists and turns: "Meat is so expensive these days, you have the nerve to come to someone's house and ask them to share chicken?
Don’t you have five chickens in your yard? If you want to eat, just kill one. Why bother asking others? "
