The brothers Chen Chi and Cheng Mu went back obediently to pack their things.
Now that the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, it is better to sort out some things so that I won’t forget them later.
When Ruan Jinlan returned home from get off work, she found the house very quiet and was very confused.
At this time of year, shouldn't the child be at home complaining about being hungry and urging her to cook?
Why are the two brothers quiet today? Are they not at home?
Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the room inside was opened, and Cheng Chi's voice came, "Mom, you get off work and hurry up to cook! I'm starving!"
"Okay, Mom will do it right away." Ruan Jinlan answered without hesitation.
"By the way, make more delicious dishes today, my dad is at home too!" After saying hello, the door was closed again with a bang.
Lao Cheng is also at home? Ruan Jinlan was puzzled. Shouldn't Lao Cheng still be at get off work at this time?
Recently, Lao Cheng's get off work time has been getting later and later. Sometimes he doesn't come back until the mother and daughter have finished dinner.
Why did you come back so early today?
No matter how many problems she had in her mind, her body had already responded with a conditioned reflex.
She put down her work bag, carried the vegetables she bought on the way home from get off work into the kitchen, and picked up the apron hanging at the kitchen door.
Wash rice, cook rice, wash vegetables and stir-fry all in one go.
In less than an hour, Ruan Jinlan prepared three dishes, one soup and two servings of rice.
Usually, she cooks two dishes and a soup, but today she was invited to cook, so she specially made an extra dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
"It's time to eat."
As her shout died down, the door of the Cheng brothers' room opened and the two brothers came out one after another.
Cheng Fuguang also walked out of his own bedroom.
"Mom! Didn't I tell you to make two more delicious dishes? Why isn't there any meat dish?" Cheng Chi started complaining as soon as he sat down.
On the table, there was a Chinese cabbage, a plate of steamed rice and beans with bacon, a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds, and a plate of vegetable soup.
There were only four or five slices of bacon in the steamed rice and beans, and it didn't look fatty. In Cheng Chi's eyes, it was not a meat dish at all.
Such food would be good in other people's homes. Nowadays, many people still eat shredded pickled vegetables and coarse flour buns.
Cheng Mu was obviously not satisfied either, but he didn't say anything.
"Mom! Did you save the money for food to support your parents again? ! " Cheng Chi looked at his mother as if she were an enemy!
As soon as he said this, Ruan Jinlan obviously shook her body, while Cheng Fuguang stared straight at her!
"I didn't!" Ruan Jinlan quickly explained! "I didn't deduct the money for the vegetables! Besides, there is no one left in my family now! You all know that!"
"I only bought these vegetables today. I didn't know I had to add more vegetables today!"
Ruan Jinlan was really scared.
Somehow, Old Cheng found out about her mother coming to her to ask for money last time. Not only did he give her a good beating, he also told his son about it.
It is said that their mother spent the money that should have been spent on them on her parents' side.
Since then, the brothers' attitude towards their mother changed. Especially Cheng Chi, sometimes he looked at her with anger in his eyes, especially when it came to money.
Seeing her reaction, Cheng Fuguang retracted his gaze and said to the two brothers, "Let's eat."
Cheng Mu pulled his eldest brother and signaled him to eat quickly.
Just like that, Cheng Chi reluctantly picked up the bowl and started eating.
