"Old Li, you're back. Let's eat!" Gu Wanqiu smiled gently, looking like a good wife and mother, very virtuous.
"Yeah." Li Quanmao nodded, changed into slippers, walked towards the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and began to wash his hands.
Gu Wanqiu walked towards the kitchen and glanced at Lin Xiaoman while walking.
In the past, as long as she gave a look, Li Fei would obediently help her to serve the rice and pass the bowls, but now it was Lin Xiaoman's turn, so she naturally ignored her.
As a gentle and kind stepmother who treated her stepdaughter as her own daughter and treated her equally, Gu Wanqiu was unhappy in her heart but did not show anything. She brought out the food with a smile.
It’s called a meal, but the rice is mashed potatoes and the dish is still potatoes.
Because of soil problems, the satellite's staple food is potatoes, a very large kind of potato, each as big as a baby's head.
Well-off families eat potatoes almost every meal, and occasionally have some meat or other vegetables as a snack.
For those with below-average income, potatoes can be taken with nutritional supplements.
The poorer ones take nutritional supplements for every meal and occasionally eat potatoes.
The nutritional supplements in this world have only one function: to prevent you from starving to death. It is said that if you take too many nutritional supplements, your body will become weaker than that of an ordinary person, and your life span will be shortened, leading to early death.
The Li family was barely a well-off family, and they ate potatoes most of the time.
Mashed potatoes of various flavors, followed by fried potatoes, braised potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato cubes, shredded potatoes with pork, potato soup...
Gu Wanqiu made original mashed potatoes today. The appliance looked like a rice cooker, and inside was a lump of yellow mashed potatoes.
Lin Xiaoman picked up the bowl and scooped some for herself, feeling like she was scooping ice cream balls at a buffet.
Holding the bowl and spoon, Lin Xiaoman sat at the table, scooped a spoonful, and ate...
Eh~ It has no taste, much worse than the mashed potatoes in Grandpa Ken's.
Lin Xiaoman picked a few sauces and seasonings from the pile of sauces and seasonings on the table, stirred them together, and finally the food tasted a bit good.
In addition to the original mashed potatoes as rice, there were two other dishes on the table, one was potato soup, and the red thing in the soup seemed to be tomatoes.
There was also a piece of braised pork with potatoes. Lin Xiaoman counted them silently. There were three pieces of meat, not one more, not one less, and the rest were all potato pieces.
Gu Wanqiu was very virtuous and used a public spoon to give a piece to everyone, including Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman: Tsk, this stepmother is always so pretentious!
"Mom, don't you want to eat?" Li Fang jumped out immediately, muttering, staring at Li Fei with an accusing look.
"You guys eat..." Gu Wanqiu smiled, and her behavior was definitely that of a kind and virtuous hostess who loved her husband and children.
Normally, if faced with such a situation, the original owner would definitely give up the meat, and then receive praise from Gu Wanqiu like "Fei Fei is really sensible and filial", and everyone would be happy.
And Lin Xiaoman...
Under Li Fang's angry glare, Lin Xiaoman scooped up the meat with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.
snort!
Of course, I eat it myself.
While eating, she said, "Sister, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I'm craving it. Mom treats you so well, please share some with Mom!"
"You..." Li Fang was furious, but Lin Xiaoman had already eaten it, and she couldn't ask her to spit it out. But asking her to share it... You know, although her mother would subsidize her living expenses, this little money was only enough for her to have meat occasionally, and she couldn't bear to part with it!
"I don't like eating meat, Fangfang, you eat it." Gu Wanqiu said understandingly.
Li Quanmao didn't say a word the whole time and just ate by himself.
Li Fang pouted and was unhappy. She bit the meat hard and glared at Lin Xiaoman while biting, as if she was biting her.
Lin Xiaoman: Childish.
"Dad, my sister used her living expenses to buy a very expensive skirt!" After finishing the meat, Li Fang, who was still unhappy, rolled her eyes and complained directly.
Li Quanmao's face darkened and he immediately became unhappy.
"Dad, my sister is talking nonsense! I bought these imitations from a street stall, they are very cheap. They are enough for my living expenses this month." Knowing that Li Quanmao, the stingy guy, didn't want to give extra money, Lin Xiaoman explained.
"Yeah." Hearing that they didn't have to pay, Li Quanmao's expression lessened. Then, with the air of the head of the family, he sternly taught them, "Fei Fei, Fang Fang, you're not children anymore. You should consider sharing the burden for your parents. It's not easy for us to make money. You two must not spend money recklessly at school. You must be frugal, understand?"
"I understand." Lin Xiaoman responded.
"Dad, I've always been very frugal!" Li Fang said expressively, and then used a big move, "I still have some living expenses left over from last month. Dad, I think 1,000 coins will be enough for next month's living expenses."
"Fangfang is so good!" Li Quanmao was instantly flustered and furious. After being happy, he immediately said to Lin Xiaoman, "Feifei, 1,000 coins are enough for your sister. You should also get 1,000 coins next month."
"oh."
Lin Xiaoman responded indifferently and glanced at Li Fang with a provocative look, and was speechless.
Isn't it just relying on Gu Wanqiu, her biological mother, to subsidize her? She actually tried this tactic of killing one thousand enemies but injuring eight hundred of her own.
Li Quanmao gave me 1500 coins, so if I saved a little every month, 1200 would be enough. But 1000 coins? I would really have to tighten my belt, and I would have to rely on nutritional supplements to save money for anything I wanted.
Having set this precedent, I'm afraid that the monthly living expenses will be 1,000 coins in the future. Li Fang, this idiot who spends at least 2,000 coins every month, is still so complacent?
Li Quanmao gave less, which meant Gu Wanqiu had to stick to more. Lin Xiaoman glanced at Gu Wanqiu from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, Gu Wanqiu's expression was a little hard to describe.
