Chapter 41 Entering the City 2
My brother-in-law Xu Ming enthusiastically ran to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles, and took out some fruits distributed from the Material Bureau and put them on the dining table.
My wife's closest relatives are her family, which doesn't have many people and they rarely come to the county town.
The two of them had already had breakfast, but could not resist the warm hospitality of their uncle-in-law and reluctantly ate half a bowl of noodles and an apple. They really could not eat any more.
"Hey, with your appetite, even cats can eat more than you."
Uncle-in-law Xu Ming said with a smile.
After chatting about family matters for a while at my aunt's house, she soon came back carrying a basket of vegetables.
"Aunt."
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing stood up and shouted.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaojing, you came just in time. Auntie bought some meat today."
When sister-in-law Zhao Yu saw the two of them, her face immediately broke into smiles.
My younger aunt Zhao Yu is only 35 years old now, and she is still very energetic in doing things.
"Aunt, we really can't eat anymore. We just ate half a bowl of noodles."
Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"You are nothing like young people. Young people get hungry an hour after a meal. Even if they can't eat any more, they have to try two pieces of braised pork."
The aunt said with a straight face.
"All right."
Zhao Yi nodded helplessly.
We had lunch at my aunt's house again. Actually, we were not really hungry at the moment, so we still tried my aunt's cooking.
"You two can't even eat as much as the cats in our factory."
Sister-in-law Zhao Yu looked at the two of them eating four pieces of braised pork in total and stopped eating, and said helplessly.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing proposed to go to their second aunt's house. They took out half of the gifts they brought and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. Then, they walked out of the tube building accompanied by their uncle and aunt.
After returning home, Zhao Yu picked up the gifts on the table and opened them. There were bottles of wine, a bag of malted milk, about a pound of pastries, some milk candies, and about half a pound of bacon.
"These two kids really don't know how to live. It's so hard to make money in the countryside. It's not like we can't buy this stuff in the city. Boss, did you give Xiaoyi something just now?"
Zhao Yu turned and looked at her man.
"Yes, I gave you the new work clothes I got, and a few feet of cloth that mom sent to make clothes for you."
Xu Ming nodded.
"That's good. These two spendthrifts don't know how to manage the household. These things are worth almost seven or eight yuan. If you look at me, when I return to the village, I will definitely teach them a lesson."
Zhao Yu said through gritted teeth.
Zhao Yu married into Wangou Village. Although she seldom returns to the village now, she is still clear about the situation in Wangou Village.
The two of them couldn't earn that much money in half a year, which was not as good as the villages near the county town, where a strong laborer could get more than 20 yuan in dividends every year.
Although his eldest brother now works in a coal mine, it is impossible for him to give the money to Zhao Yi to be the head of the family.
Xu Ming nodded. He was well aware of the situation in the countryside.
Otherwise, he would not have given Zhao Yi the work clothes he had just received. Every time he accompanied Zhao Yu back to the village, some of those people were wearing clothes that looked like the same clothes, with patches on top of patches, making them look like a patchwork quilt.
At this time, Zhao Yi had already brought Zhang Jing to his second aunt's house.
"You two little guys arrived just in time for dinner."
When Second Uncle Lu Shaowen saw Zhao Yi, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
When Second Aunt Zhao Qin heard this, she poked her head out of the kitchen, saw Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing at a glance, and immediately shouted with a smile.
"We just had dinner at my aunt's house, and came to see you."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Since you've eaten at my aunt's house, why can't you eat at my place? Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly."
Second Aunt immediately said with a stern face.
The two of them looked at the rice in their bowls with a look of bitterness and resentment on their faces, and they really couldn't eat anything.
"Come to my place and it's like being at home. Don't be shy and eat quickly."
Second Aunt kept picking up food for the two of them while talking.
After the meal, the two of them stuffed two chopsticks of food into their mouths and couldn't eat any more.
"Hey! Is the food I cooked so unpalatable? You two haven't touched a single bite of it since it was served."
Second aunt Zhao Qin looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Second Aunt, I really can't eat anymore."
Zhao Yi said with a bitter face.
"Okay, okay, if you can't eat, feed it to the dog."
The second aunt took Zhao Yi's bowl and handed it to her son. The growing teenager immediately took the bowl happily and started eating happily. Then he took Zhang Jing's bowl and handed it to his daughter.
The two little guys were eating very happily, and their bowls were full of vegetables.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing proposed to go home.
"Rest here for one night and go back tomorrow."
"No, uncle and aunt, we still have to work tomorrow. These things are a little gift from Xiaojing and I. I'll come to visit you when I'm free."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Then the second aunt rummaged through the drawers and took out some biscuits, handed them to Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing, and sent the two of them out of the alley.
When I got home, I saw that my son and daughter had already opened the things Zhao Yi had sent them.
He grabbed the pastry inside and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mom, my cousin can't eat as much as my uncle. When my uncle comes to visit us alone, he can eat five bowls of noodles."
"My second cousin is the same. He can eat three big bowls of rice by himself, but he can only eat one chopstick of bean sprouts and can't finish it. I can eat three bowls."
"That's both of you."
Zhao Qin rolled her eyes at her son and daughter, then looked at the things Zhao Yi had sent. She felt indescribably happy, but also a bit indescribable, as these things cost a lot of money.
I have these gifts here, and my younger sister must have the same one. These two kids spent more than ten dollars for one trip. They don’t know how to be stingy with money at all.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing got on the tractor back to the commune and returned home before dusk.
As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw pig feed piled up like a hill next to the kitchen, at least seven or eight baskets of pig feed.
At this time, Zhao Laowu was chopping grass with a kitchen knife to prepare food for the pigs.
When he saw Zhao Yi coming back, he immediately chuckled.
"Brother Yi, sister-in-law."
"We got some cookies in town today. You can take them back and eat them. We will do the rest of the work ourselves."
Zhao Yi took out the few biscuits left in the backpack.
Zhao Laowu had never eaten anything like this before. He shared the cakes with his nephews and nieces yesterday and they admired him all day. Today, they followed him to cut a lot of grass for the pigs.
Now that she can get the cookies back, she will chase me and praise my uncle for being the best in the world.
Zhao Laowu took the biscuits embarrassedly and ran back home.
"The head of the family asked him to help feed the pigs, so he got this much pig grass. I don't have to cut grass for three days."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
“This is a real person.”
Zhao Yi smiled.
Zhang Jing used the key to open the door of the main room, walked into the room to see if the small box she had hidden was still there, and then happily walked into the kitchen to help Zhao Yi with the work.
