"It's almost dark, why haven't the second brother and his wife come back yet?" Lin Yongnian carried 꿛 on his back and walked to the door to look outside.
Lin Guodong blew out a smoke ring while smoking, "He must have gone on a date with Liu Qin after get off work."
When he and Zhang Jiao first got married, he liked to go on dates after work on Fridays.
"Grandpa, I want to eat dumplings. I want to eat dumplings." Junjun, who was playing in the yard, ran back, hugged Lin Yongnian's legs and shouted that he wanted to eat dumplings.
Lin Yongnian touched his grandson's head and said lovingly, "Okay, let your mother make meat and egg dumplings for you tomorrow."
"Oh, I want to eat it now, oh, eat the beef filling." Junjun pouted and acted coquettishly.
Lin Yongnian: "Grandpa, where can I find beef dumplings for you now?"
"Grandma Wang's house has beef dumplings."
Aunt Wang’s eldest grandson Zhao Junjun walked to the door of the Lin family with a bowl in his hand and took a big bite of the dumplings. The aroma of the beef-filled dumplings filled the air.
Junjun stared at the dumplings in his bowl and swallowed his saliva.
Lin Yongnian: When did Wang Chaoqun become so good at making dumplings?
"The dumplings in my family are bought by my grandma from Grandma Li's stall. The ones with beef and celery filling are so fragrant and delicious." Junjun said as he put the remaining half of the dumpling into his mouth and chewed it with enjoyment with his eyes closed.
When Lin Yongnian heard the child mention Li Shuping, he became angry.
Junjun swallowed the dumplings and said, "Junjun, if you want to eat beef dumplings, you can ask your grandfather to buy some for your grandmother."
"Grandpa, go find grandma and buy some dumplings for Junjun." Junjun pulled on grandpa's pants and shook them.
Lin Yongnian got angry when he heard Li Shuping's name, let alone taking care of her business. Even if he was starving to death, he would not buy her dumplings.
"Junjun, be good. Let's eat Li Shuping's broken dumplings. Tomorrow, grandpa will take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat braised pork." Lin Yongnian squatted on the ground and grabbed his grandson's arm to coax him.
Lin Guodong: "Eat braised pork? Dad, do you have money now?"
Did he give all the money he had to his mother?
Where do you get the money to eat braised pork?
"I got half a month's salary in advance from the factory."
The breakfasts cooked by his two daughters-in-law were bland and he felt hungry when he arrived at the factory.
Life without money is really hard. He can buy something to eat when he is hungry. Today, after get off work, he asked his leader for an advance of half a month's salary.
As long as the breakfast was cooked to his taste, he would go out and buy it for himself.
Lam Kwok Tung: "Then let's go together tomorrow."
He wanted to eat the braised pork from the state-owned restaurant, so tomorrow the second son and his wife would go back to their parents' home, and the three of them would go with their father.
Lin Yongnian: “…”
Why do I suddenly feel speechless?
"I don't want to eat braised pork, I don't want to eat beef dumplings, wuwuwu..." Junjun started crying.
"What beef dumplings?" Lin Jianshe and his wife came back arm in arm.
Seeing Junjun crying, Junjun took the bowl and left. What if Grandpa Lin asked him to give one to Junjun?
As soon as Lin Jianshe opened his mouth, Lin Yongnian smelled the aroma of braised pork. "Where have you two been? You're back so late."
Lin Jianshe: "Jiaojiao and I went to the park for a walk."
Lin Yongnian looked at him while he was talking, then walked around the park, or perhaps sat in a state-owned restaurant.
Lin Yongnian felt somewhat comfortable that his son and daughter-in-law were eating alone.
Lin Jianshe was so frightened by what he saw that he walked into the house and shouted, "Sister-in-law, is the meal ready? I'm starving."
Zhang Jiao was cooking the last dish when she heard her son crying and called out, "Lin Guodong, comfort the child."
Lin Guodong looked at his son who was crying so hard that his nose was running and frowned in disdain. He said sternly, "Okay, stop crying."
Junjun pursed his lips and looked at his father in fear, tears still flowing, but he dared not make a sound.
"Why are you yelling at the child?" Lin Yongnian glared at his eldest son.
Lin Guodong touched his nose. He had never been very patient with children.
Lin Yongnian bent down and picked up his grandson, "Grandpa's good grandson is crying, grandpa will give our Junjun some candy."
After eating the candy, Junjun stopped crying, and Zhang Jiao called for dinner.
Although Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin ate alone at the state-owned restaurant, they were afraid of being discovered, so they left some food in their stomachs, which affected their dinner.
There was steamed egg for dinner. Lin Jianshe first gave him and Liu Qin two large spoonfuls.
Zhang Jiao secretly rolled her eyes when she saw it, then quickly took a spoon and scooped two large spoonfuls for her son, husband, and herself.
When it was Lin Yongnian's turn, there were only a few broken eggs left in his bowl. Lin Jianshe was thinking about his wife, and Zhang Jiao was thinking about her son and boyfriend.
As a father and a father-in-law, he didn't think about it. He didn't even scoop him a spoonful, just leave some crumbs for him.
When Li Shuping was around, she would always scoop the water for him, the head of the family, first.
"Dad, Jianshe and I will be returning to our parents' home tomorrow. This time, our family needs to prepare some gifts for us." Liu Qin raised her head and said.
Tobacco, alcohol, candy and fruit are definitely indispensable.
Lin Yongnian frowned. This was indeed something that the family should prepare. "I'll give you five yuan tomorrow and you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it yourself."
Buy a carton of cigarettes, a bottle of wine, and two bags of candy, and that's a lot.
"Dad, do you have money?" Zhang Jiao asked, looking up.
Lin Guodong: "Dad got half a month's salary in advance from the factory."
Zhang Jiao: "Since Dad has a salary, then this living expenses..."
Liu Qin: "Did Dad say that? He gets his salary and he has to pay for the living expenses every month."
Lin Yongnian: “…”
"Okay, I'll go. I'll go."
There are only a few days left in this month, and both daughters-in-law are willing to pay for their living expenses. Women are just stingy.
"There are only 5 days left this month. When your mom was around, the most we could spend on living expenses was 5 dollars a month. There are 5 days left and I'm going to take out 5 dollars. Who will take it?"
Lin Yongnian took the money out of his wallet and slammed it on the table. The noise was quite loud, but he didn't realize that he felt very happy inside.
Lin Jianshe rolled his eyes and said, "Qinqin buys the vegetables every day, so of course Qinqin carries them."
"Then I'll take it." Liu Qin stretched out her hand and reached for the money.
Zhang Jiao: "Okay!"
"How come it's all right?" Lin Jianshe looked at his sister-in-law with a satisfied look on his face.
The opposite is the right way!
Zhang Jiao was thinking of reasons in her heart. Her parents' money was still a little more, and her mother's monthly grocery money was just over a dollar.
But Liu Qin took all the money for buying groceries, so she could at least get three or four yuan!
She would definitely let Liu Qin take all the money.
"I thought about it and realized that it's hard for my brother and sister-in-law to buy groceries alone. I don't think it's good. Since we cook every day, we should buy groceries every day."
"From now on, whoever's turn it is to cook will go shopping for groceries and we will share half of the living expenses Dad gives us."
