When Zhang Jiao got home from get off work, she saw a scratch on her son's face while he was playing in the yard. "Junjun, what happened to your face?"
Junjun pouted in grievance, "Huahua, grab it."
Huahua is a child in the nursery.
Zhang Jiao felt both pained and angry. She walked into the house holding her son's hand and said to Lam Kwok Tung, who was smoking on a deck chair, "When you send the child to the nursery tomorrow, tell the nursery teacher to pay more attention to Junjun. Look at the child's face being scratched."
Lin Guodong stared at the wound on his son's face and said, "Talk to the nursery teacher about it tomorrow."
"I just said that it's better for children to be taken care of by themselves."
"What can I do if I don't watch it?"
Zhang Jiao: "You are your mother's biological son. Go talk to your mother. Maybe she will agree."
"It's useless even if your dad talks to you. Is it still useful if you talk to him?" Lin Guodong shook his head.
"You are you and Dad is Dad. If Mom is mad at Dad, Dad will definitely not say anything. But you are different. You didn't make Mom angry." Zhang Jiao analyzed.
Lin Guodong thought about it and realized that it was true. He didn't make his mother angry. His mother was angry with the second son's father, so she divorced his father and left home.
"If you want to, you might as well go and persuade Mom to come back. That way, we can all save trouble. We can eat ready-made food in the morning, and the children can be taken care of. We can have dinner directly when we get home from get off work."
Zhang Jiao got up to cook breakfast today. She felt annoyed after just getting up early for one day.
It’s very tiring to go to work every day, and I can’t even sleep a little longer.
Lin Guodong blew out a smoke ring and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to mom after get off work tomorrow."
The Lins didn't start eating until half past nine in the evening. Everyone in the family was starving, so they all sat down as soon as the food was served.
Liu Qin picked up the chopsticks and her expression changed when she saw the red pepper in the twice-cooked pork.
"I'm so hungry, so hungry." Lin Jianshe picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, then scooped up a mouthful of rice.
Yu Guang saw that his wife didn't move her chopsticks, so he asked, "Qinqin, why don't you eat?"
"How can we eat it if we add chili peppers?" Liu Qin said unhappily.
Zhang Jiao's face suddenly changed, but she didn't say anything and handed the boy a piece of meat with her chopsticks.
Lin Jianshe frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you that Qinqin doesn't eat spicy food?"
"Dad, your elder brother, and you all like spicy food. Besides, the fishy smell of twice-cooked pork cannot be suppressed without some spicy flavor." She couldn't eat twice-cooked pork without any spicy flavor. She always cooked according to her own taste, so why should she try to please others?
Lin Yongnian: "Stir-fried pork with garlic must be a little spicy to make it taste good. This one is not too spicy. Liu Qin, you will get used to it after trying it."
Liu Qin: "I sweat when I eat spicy food. I can't get used to it."
"Then eat the cabbage. This cabbage is not spicy." Lin Yongnian said, pointing at the stir-fried cabbage in front of Liu Qin.
Liu Qin clenched the chopsticks in her hand, she was almost angry. Why should she eat cabbage?
It was obvious that the sister-in-law did it on purpose. She put chili peppers in the meat even though she knew that she didn't eat spicy food. Since she didn't eat meat, the couple could eat more. The key point was that she had to pay for the meat and vegetables.
This Zhang Jiao is really very clever.
"Sister-in-law, the cost of vegetables today is 1.2 yuan." Liu Qin said with a cold face.
"One dollar and two cents, why so much?" Zhang Jiao frowned.
Liu Qin: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I am cheating you of money?"
Zhang Jiao: That’s right.
"Who, who said you cheated me of money? I just thought it was a bit too much, so I asked, I didn't mean anything else. Liu Qin, you've cheated me again."
Liu Qin: “…”
That's clearly what she meant, but she said it the other way around!
Lin Yongnian came out to smooth things over, "Liu Qin, your sister-in-law didn't mean that, don't think too much about it."
It would have been better if he didn't come out to smooth things over, but after he said this, Liu Qin became even angrier.
As a father-in-law, he thinks his daughter-in-law is stingy.
Zhang Jiao saw that her father-in-law was standing on her side and talking, and she couldn't hide her pride, "Sister-in-law, I'll give you the money after dinner."
Liu Qin: “…”
In this showdown between sisters-in-law, she was defeated again.
…
"Oh……"
Lin Jianshe, who was covered in sweat, got off Liu Qin and lay flat on the bed, gasping for breath.
"My sister-in-law knew that 놖 didn't eat spicy food, but she still put chili in the meat. It was obviously intentional. If 놖 didn't eat it, her family of three could have one more piece of meat."
"She clearly suspected that I had embezzled money, and asked why there was so much money? She didn't think about the fact that I bought a pound and a half of meat today!"
"She is just like that, a little kid." Lin Jianshe's voice was a little weak.
In another room, Zhang Jiao was complaining about Liu Qin, "That's just a little bit of meat, how could it be one and a half pounds? Liu Qin must have exaggerated and is trying to rip us off."
Lin Guodong didn't answer, so Zhang Jiao pinched him and said, "Tell me if you heard it or not."
Lin Guodong said impatiently: "Her family is the kind of petty people who like to calculate and take advantage of others. It's not surprising that she is like this."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao felt comfortable. She turned over, hugged Lin Guodong and put her hands on his back, which was covered with sleeping clothes.
Lin Guodong pulled her hand away and said, "Aren't you tired enough from work? Why are you still thinking about these things?"
Zhang Jiao snorted angrily and turned over in the quilt.
The second child of the 그 family 껩 is at work. She got up at night last night and still heard some noise.
They are brothers born of the same mother and should be only a few years apart in age, so why is there such a big difference between them?
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Shuping woke up naturally. Her daughter Lin Xiaoyu was still sleeping, so she got out of bed quietly and got dressed.
I opened the kitchen door, got some water to wash up, and started to cook the millet porridge.
I would close the kitchen door, carry a basket and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables. If I met my old neighbor at No. 18, I would say hello.
Some neighbors would even ask, "Are you really not going to live with Lao Lin anymore?"
"You're really not going back?"
Li Shuping gave affirmative answers to all of them.
When I got home after buying vegetables and buns, Lin Xiaoyu had already gotten up and the millet porridge in the pot was ready.
"Mom, where are you going to set up your stall today?" Lin Xiaoyu asked while eating a bun.
Her mother is going to set up the stall today. They picked all the leeks last night.
Li Shuping thought about it seriously and said, "Try it at the entrance of the alley in the afternoon. If it doesn't work, ride your bike to the flea market and set it up. When you get home from school, if you're not at home, you can cook for yourself."
Lin Xiaoyu nodded and said yes.
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoyu went to school.
Li Shuping started to cook noodles, chop leeks, fry eggs, and mix stuffing.
By ten o'clock, everything was ready, and the dumplings were ready.
Li Shuping first pushed the tricycle out of the yard, and then put the things on the tricycle one by one.
Folding table and stools, a coal stove, a bucket, a basin of dough, a basin of stuffing, a bucket, a chopping board, bowls, chopsticks, and a plate of dumplings.
The bowls containing the dumpling dough were covered with clean gauze. The neighbors saw her busying around and knew what she was going to do.
After moving the things, Li Shuping came back and locked the door.
Liu Mingxiang: "Is she going to set up a stall to sell dumplings?"
“Oh, it would be so embarrassing if people I know saw me.” Wang Guixiang shook her head. Although she is unemployed now, she would rather make firewood boxes at home than set up a stall.
Cui Juanzi: "These days people are reluctant to even go to state-owned restaurants, so how can they afford to buy dumplings from street vendors? Her dumplings will not sell."
Old Mrs. Yuan shook her head and said, "Li Shuping is really troublesome. She got divorced and now she's selling dumplings at a stall. Just wait and see. With so much food, she must have moved it out and moved it back the same way. If she can't sell it and can't finish it herself, I'd like to help her eat some."
The last time she ate dumplings was during Chinese New Year, and she was craving for them.
Cui Juanzi laughed at her and said, "You are just dreaming. Even if the family goes bankrupt, I am afraid they won't even give us food to eat."
The night before yesterday, her eldest son went to watch for half a day, but he didn't get to eat a single dumpling.
