Chapter 109 What Can I Do
In their time, life was not as easy as it is now.
Tian Xiu'e didn't dare to imagine how they survived those difficult years. Not to mention meat, they basically ate dried sweet potatoes all year round.
Not to mention pig offal, they were reluctant to throw away even the pig skin.
Jiang Xiangxiang realized instantly that her thinking was not right and she should change it. She had been reading novels so much that she was almost stupid.
That's almost stupid.
In this day and age, when life is so hard, it is impossible for them to look down on pig offal.
Looking at how clean Lu Heping cleaned the place, it is clear that this is not the first time he has done this.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Tian Xiu'e asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Think about it?"
Jiang Xiangxiang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Mom, our lives will get better and better in the future."
Tian Xiu'e nodded: "Of course, things will get better and better."
She still has this confidence.
She is not a lazy person, and her sons are all very capable. Now she has such a good daughter-in-law in Jiang Xiangxiang. What else can she be dissatisfied with?
Tian Xiu'e felt that she was quite confident.
Jiang Xiangxiang had already started preparations. He put the pig's head, offal, and trotters into the pot, scooped some water over them, and started to boil. Halfway through the cooking, he still spoke.
"Mom, I forgot to bring some seasonings from home. Can you keep an eye on the pot for me? I'll go back and get them for later."
"No, let Jiannan get it. He has nothing to do anyway!"
"No, no, Jiannan doesn't know where I put it." Jiang Xiangxiang said without looking back. After that, he ran away, looking as agile as possible.
Tian Xiu'e was too late to stop her and could only watch her run away.
Lu Jiannan came over and said, "Mom, what can I do?"
Tian Xiu'e glanced at him and said, "Pick and cut the vegetables! It will be easier for you when your sister-in-law comes back later."
Her sons were all trained by Tian Xiu'e.
He is usually very obedient and can do all the housework, so there is no need to worry about him going hungry in the future.
Lu Jiannan nodded. He had no objection to this matter. His sister-in-law married into their family to enjoy life, not to suffer.
The Lu family can't expect a young girl to serve them.
Unrealistic.
Besides, Jiang Xiangxiang had a hard life in the past, and they should be nicer to her.
Seeing that Lu Jiannan was working diligently, Tian Xiu'e didn't say much. She wasn't very lucky, but she did have some experience in raising sons.
She raised her sons very well.
Jiang Xiangxiang had no idea what had happened in the Lu family, so after returning home, he started rummaging through the drawers.
She said she was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, but in fact she was just rummaging through things in the space. There was no one at home right now, so no one would be suspicious of anything she took out, which was good.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xiangxiang took out all the seasonings, opened the packaging bags, and found a few ordinary bottles at home to replace them.
Otherwise, when they ask her about it later, she won’t know what to say.
I took a bottle of white vinegar, sugar, MSG, soy sauce, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce, which I will use when cooking later.
Oh, and there’s rock sugar.
Jiang Xiangxiang thought about taking out some rock sugar and frying it to make some sugar color when stewing the braised pork. It would be perfect.
In addition, have a few quail eggs.
Jiang Xiangxiang had already thought of an excuse. He said that he had picked it up when he went up the mountain to collect grass, and he wanted to add a dish to it for everyone.
As for fruits and other things, she didn't dare to take too much.
Nowadays, fruits are considered precious things and cannot be treated lightly.
Jiang Xiangxiang thought about it and took out only a few apples. They were big and round, and looked very tempting, the kind that would make people salivate.
Don't ask, the answer is I bought it.
Anyway, she is planning to give up, so let it be, every policy has its countermeasure.
The Lu family probably wouldn't argue with her, and thinking of this, she felt much more comfortable.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xiangxiang returned to the Lu family carrying large and small bags of things.
If you didn’t know, you would think she was moving.
Tian Xiu'e thought she was just going back to get something, but who would have thought Jiang Xiangxiang would bring such a large amount...
She was almost covered with bags of all sizes.
What is this for?
Tian Xiu'e rushed over to help: "Think about it, why did you take so many things? If you had told me earlier, I would have asked Jiannan to help you get them."
Jiang Xiangxiang smiled and said, "No need, Mom, I took these myself. Look, I'm back now."
Tian Xiu'e took some, put them on the ground, twitched her lips and asked, "Does your father know?"
Tian Xiu'e also knew about the situation of the Jiang family.
Ye Meiping made a mess of everything and we squandered all our family assets. Now we are poor.
Jiang Xiangxiang paused for a moment, then said without hesitation, "My father knows about this, don't worry, he's very generous and won't mind. Mom, let's hurry up and cook, haha."
As he spoke, he took out an apple from his bag, walked to the kitchen and handed it to Lu Jiannan.
When Lu Jiannan saw the apple in her hand, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The apple looked so delicious.
It looks like it must be very sweet.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Xiangxiang deliberately asked, "What's wrong, Jiannan, don't you like apples?"
Lu Jiannan shook his head at first, then nodded: "Sister-in-law, keep it for yourself."
These days, having enough to eat is considered good enough. Who has the spare money to eat apples?
Lu Jiannan was embarrassed to ask for it and felt his face getting hot. He thought it would be better to leave this kind of thing for the little girl.
Jiang Xiangxiang understood what this meant just by looking at his expression, and his heart softened for a moment.
I have to say, the Lu family is really nice.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the Lu family are all very good, even Lu Jiannan and Lu Jianbei are pretty good.
Jiang Xiangxiang felt warm inside and stuffed the apple into his hand. "Eat yours. I have a lot more over there. Mom, you can have one too."
As he said that, he took out another one and handed it to Tian Xiu'e.
Of course, even Lu Heping, who was smoking outside, was not left out.
Jiang Xiangxiang tried to persuade him, "Dad, smoking is bad for your health. When you are free, eat more fruits, which is also good for your health."
Lu Heping was a little surprised, but he listened to the advice and agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, I get it!"
After saying this, he put his pipe aside and took a bite of the apple.
Mm, so sweet.
Seeing this, Tian Xiu'e couldn't help but disdain: "Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat. Normally you were not allowed to smoke but you insisted on smoking. Now think about it, one sentence is more effective than ten sentences."
Lu Heping was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, my daughter-in-law is definitely right."
