Chapter 706: Stretched Noodles
The chicken was disobedient, chirping and jumping up and down. Finally, the owner knocked the chicken unconscious, and the chicken finally fell asleep obediently.
While the chicken was unconscious, Xue Guixiang carried it in a nylon bag and hurried away.
Not far away, I saw a pork seller and bought another five pounds of pork.
He also bought some peanuts and melon seeds roasted by the villagers for the children. He bought them until both of them had no more in their hands and then returned home.
Xue Guibao only cut two pounds of meat, so he came back early. When he got home, he could already smell the aroma of fried meat.
Xue Guixiang put the chicken, meat and other things in the yard and asked Xue Guibao to stew them for the child.
Xue Guibao's family never bought more than two pounds of meat during the Chinese New Year. Now seeing that his eldest sister not only bought a chicken, but also bought five pounds of meat and some other snacks, he naturally felt embarrassed again.
Xue Guixiang said, "If you really feel embarrassed, then work hard. When you have money in the future, buy me meat."
Xue Guibao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely do my best!"
This time, Xue Guibao was determined to do something good so as not to disappoint his elder sister and her family's expectations of him!
The meal was ready soon, and sisters Xue Rong and Xue Nan also came back from their classmate's house. Seeing that their eldest aunt, second aunt and sister-in-law were all there, they were happy and shy, and greeted them politely one by one.
Then he rushed into the kitchen to help Sun Junqiao serve the rice.
The rice was stretched noodles, and each person had a large bowl full of it, topped with a spoonful of pork stewed with cabbage. Although it was not a delicate dish, it was very affordable and tasted very fragrant.
Xue Rong and Xue Nan brought all the food into the house.
The two little girls were already hungry, and today they had such delicious meat dishes, so they stared at the bowl and never moved away.
But the adults don’t eat it, and they don’t eat it either.
It was not until Xue Guixiang said let's eat that everyone picked up their bowls and started eating. Xue Rong and Xue Nan ate the noodles with a slurp, but they were reluctant to eat the meat and left it in their bowls for last.
Lin Qingqing was also hungry, and she finished the whole bowl in no time.
Sun Junqiao insisted on serving Lin Qingqing another bowl, but Lin Qingqing said she didn't want any more. The bowls at her uncle's house were bigger than washbasins, and she would die of fullness if she ate any more.
After eating and drinking, Sun Junqiao wanted to make tea again, but Xue Guixiang refused to let her, saying that they had to leave soon, the days were short in winter, and there were many things to do at home.
When Sun Junqiao heard that her elder sister had something to do, she couldn't stop her and had to let her go.
After returning home, Lin Qingqing hurriedly loaded her things into the car and went to Hou Xiaorou's house first.
Hou Guiying and her friends' shop closed on the 25th day of the 12th lunar month. These days, they have been busy at home preparing for the New Year, steaming buns, making rice cakes, and frying meatballs. They are very busy.
Lin Qingqing knocked on the door. When Hou Xiaorou opened the door and saw that it was Lin Qingqing, she hugged her excitedly and laughed and jumped.
Lin Qingqing was surprised. After not seeing her for three months, Hou Xiaorou had lost a lot of weight and was even more beautiful than when Wei Xiaobao and his wife got married last time.
Hou Xiaorou took the things from her hand, and the two of them walked into the house intimately.
Hou Guiying just took a pot of rice cakes out of the pot. The fragrant white rice cakes were embedded with red dates, and they looked delicious.
"Mom, it's Qingqing!" Hou Xiaorou shouted loudly.
Hou Guiying hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Qingqing coming in through the door. She hurriedly greeted her, "Hey, Qingqing, come and sit down. Auntie will pour you some tea!"
"Auntie Hou, please stop busying yourself. I just drank some water! This is a specialty of Yanjing!!"
