By the time Chen Wang had eaten and drunk his fill, it was already completely dark.
Most of the guests had already left, leaving only a table of drunkards still drinking.
Qian Xiangrong is also a ruthless guy. He can fight two people at the same time and not be at a disadvantage. He made Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang drink a little too much.
Chen Wang staggered when he stood up, which made Chen Dazhuang and Qian Xiangrong laugh.
Ignoring the two idiots, Chen Wang walked into Lao Wang's house and found Lao Wang to buy two big pig's trotters.
Many villagers came to buy meat, and some wanted pig's trotters, but Lao Wang insisted on not selling them.
"Old Wang, please sell it to me. You know my wife is pregnant. I will buy it and make soup to nourish her body."
Chen Wang said with a red face and a little drunkenly.
"I'm also going to save some to make soup for my daughter!"
Lao Wang had a reluctant expression on his face.
"Dad, just sell it to Brother Awang. I don't like pig's trotter soup. It's too greasy."
Wang Xuejiao just walked in and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll leave it to you then."
Lao Wang agreed reluctantly.
"Thank you, sister!"
Chen Wang thanked Wang Xuejiao with a smile.
Wang Xuejiao waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Brother Awang, if you find something good in the mountains in the future and my dad wants to buy it, you can sell him some."
"That has to be okay."
Chen Wang agreed readily.
Lao Wang quickly brought four pig's trotters and stuffed them directly into his hands.
"All given to you."
"Thanks, how much?"
"Forget it. You've given me meat before."
"How can that be? Let's put it this way. I'll give it to you at one dollar per pound. This pig's trotter is fat and weighs about four or five pounds. I'll give it five dollars."
As Chen Wang spoke, he put the pig's trotter on the table next to him, took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to him.
"You're giving too much. I only sell meat for 70 or 80 cents a pound!"
"fine!"
Chen Wang smiled and picked up a few pig's trotters on the table.
"No, wait a minute, I'll go cut some more meat for you."
After Lao Wang finished speaking, he hurried to the back room and soon brought back a piece of very good pork belly, which weighed about two or three pounds.
"Here you go. This is best used to make braised pork."
"Thanks. I'll go back now."
Chen Wang said goodbye with a smile, then went out with the pig's trotters and pork belly.
Seeing the little girl chasing and playing with a few other children, Chen Wang shouted.
"Xiaoyu, I'm going home. Are you coming back?"
“Here I come.”
The little girl responded loudly, then said goodbye to a few friends and ran towards him holding Ruyi's hand.
When the brother and sister returned home, they saw Lin Xiuqin sitting in the room knitting a sweater, while Dahei and Dahu were napping against the wall.
The TV was not on in the room, and the lights were off, only candles were lit.
"The power went out again?"
Chen Wang asked.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile.
We are used to this situation. The electricity supply is currently insufficient and there are power outages almost every day.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Chen Wang asked with concern.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded again, put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and took the pig's trotter and meat from him.
"Wife, help me boil some hot water. I'll take a bath and go to bed. I drank a little too much today."
Chen Wang took off his coat and sat down beside the bed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuqin gestured to the little girl.
The little girl understood instantly, looked at Chen Wang and asked, "Brother, do you want some water?"
"Pour me a glass!"
Chen Wang nodded.
"oh!"
The little girl responded and followed Lin Xiuqin out of the room.
After a while, the little girl came in with a cup of warm water and handed it to him.
Chen Wang didn't hesitate to take it and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of warm water, I felt less uncomfortable.
"Really? Who told you to drink so much? Do you still want water?"
The little girl complained and asked as she took the cup of water.
"No."
Chen Wang pressed his forehead with his left hand and waved his right hand.
"Don't drink so much next time!"
The little girl curled her lips and went out with the cup.
Chen Wang fell back on the bed. His head was dizzy and he was very tired after a busy day. He fell asleep quickly.
Even when Lin Xiuqin brought in hot water, washed his feet, wiped his body, and took off his clothes and pants, he was still not fully awake.
…
…
After waking up the next day, Chen Wang couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night.
He glanced at his wife beside him and saw that she was still sleeping soundly. He didn't wake her up, but quietly got dressed and got out of bed.
Maybe it’s because of the baby in her belly, my wife has become more sleepy recently.
However, whenever he went into the mountains, his wife would always get up earlier than him, make breakfast for him, and prepare the things he needed to go into the mountains.
Knowing that he was resting at home today, his wife slept more soundly than usual.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face with cold water, I felt awake immediately.
It was rare for him to get up so early, and his wife and the little girl were still sleeping, so Chen Wang decided to make breakfast for himself today.
I looked at the ingredients at home in the kitchen and went to the vegetable garden behind the house to pick some chives.
Wash and chop the shallots, mix with flour and eggs to make a batter, then heat oil in a pan and start frying the shallot omelet.
The daughter-in-law does this often and it is not difficult, so Chen Wang can do it easily.
Soon, the first pancake was ready, steaming hot and fragrant.
