Chapter 247: Growing up in the countryside
"What are they?"
Su Ruanruan said this and went to look at the food Xiao Chengjin had placed on the table.
Braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, spicy and sour diced radish, scrambled eggs with green onions, and a bowl of braised fish fillets.
It’s really rich!
No wonder everyone wants to work in the factory. Not only is the food well supplied, the workplace is clean, and there are so many dishes to choose from every day.
Xiao Xiulan and the other two also came back at this time, bringing back soup, steamed buns, and rice.
The rice is multi-grain rice, but it still looks very appetizing.
Such a sumptuous meal could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year in the production brigade.
Some families are poor and cannot afford such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year.
But Su Runrun knew that Xiao Aiguo, Qian Aiju, or Xiao Xiulan could not eat like this for every meal every day.
They work in the county town, and the monthly food supply is limited. If they want to eat meat or good food, they need food coupons.
Just for today's meal, half of one person's meat ticket might be spent.
Su Ruanruan thought to herself and glanced at Granny Chen. Granny Chen patted her hands soothingly and whispered in her ear, "There's meat in the basket I'm carrying. Leave it for them before you leave."
Su Ruanruan's eyes widened slightly.
What kind of meat is in Grandma Chen’s backpack?
But soon, she understood what Grandma Chen meant.
After she felt relieved, Su Runrun had the heart to taste the food.
The dish tastes salty, fragrant and tasty, with a full flavor.
The chef in this canteen cooks great food!
"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Qian, you are having dinner! Is this Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao?"
Su Ruanruan raised her head when she heard the voice and saw a little girl standing next to the table. She was the little girl who had just spoken to Xiao Chengjin.
Qian Aiju put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled, "It's Meimei, this is your Grandpa Xiao, this is not your Grandma Xiao, you should call her Grandma Chen, that's your Grandma Chen's granddaughter, Ruanruan, who is one year younger than you."
Qian Aiju turned to Grandma Chen and Su Ruanruan and introduced them, "This is Zhang Meimei. Her parents both work in the food factory, and she is now a temporary worker there."
Zhang Meimei looked past the crowd and landed on Su Ruanruan. After a moment, she extended her hand to Su Ruanruan, "Hello, my name is Zhang Meimei."
Su Ruanruan put down the spoon in her hand, stretched out her hand and lightly touched Zhang Meimei's hand, "Hello, I'm Su Ruanruan."
Zhang Meimei probably didn't expect Su Runrun to be able to handle it so easily. She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly withdrew her hand.
"Ruanruan doesn't look like she grew up in the countryside at all!" Zhang Meimei said with a smile.
Su Ruanruan raised her eyebrows, "Then what do you think a little girl who grew up in the countryside should be like?"
Xiao Xiulan also looked at Zhang Meimei, "I also grew up in the countryside. Meimei, do you think I look like I grew up in the countryside?"
Xiao Chengjin's face was full of curiosity. "I also grew up in the countryside. Do you think I look like him?"
Three faces full of question marks just stared at Zhang Meimei, making Zhang Meimei blush instantly.
"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Qian, I'm leaving first. I have something else to do."
Zhang Meimei walked away in a hurry and almost bumped into someone walking towards her.
It was not until she walked out of the cafeteria that Xiao Xiulan curled her lips and said, "Little girl! Does she know what it's like to grow up in the countryside?"
