Chapter 23 A Table of Meat and Vegetables
"Eat, why are you just staring? I don't cook well." Seeing that they didn't move their chopsticks, Cui Xue said in surprise.
"Xue'er, how much money will you spend? This is already as much as the New Year's dishes." Liang Xiaoying frowned in worry. If
the lady spends money so lavishly, won't she be despised by her in-laws when she gets married in the future?
"It's not much, mom. I make money, isn't it normal to give some to the family? Besides, you work so hard, what's wrong with eating some meat? Sister-in-law is pregnant, so she should make up for it."
As she said that, she picked up some ribs for everyone, "Come on, eat quickly, it's not easy for me to grab these ribs."
Everyone looked at each other. The meat was already in the bowl, and Cui Xue said so. What else can they do, just eat.
Before eating, everyone still had a psychological burden, but after starting to eat, they didn't care about anything else.
Not to mention others, even Cui Xiongnian couldn't lift his head because of eating.
"Ah~ If only I could eat such delicious dishes every day." After eating, Cui Yingxiong held his stomach that was so full that he couldn't bear it anymore and sighed.
"You have a nice idea. If you eat like this every day, where will you get the money for meat?" Liu Ping glanced at him unhappily.
How dare he say that? Eating his own sister's meat is enough for one meal, but he still wants to eat like this every day. He is so happy.
"Hehe, I just said that." Cui Yingxiong shook his head and smiled at Cui Xue embarrassedly.
"I'm afraid we can't eat it every day. We can eat it once every three to five days." Cui Xue thought for a while and said.
The main reason is that she is very busy now. The crops in the fields must be harvested quickly. There is little time for rest. In addition, the weather is hot, so she dare not buy too much meat at a time for fear that she can't keep it.
"Don't worry about him, he is greedy and just wants to eat." Liang Xiaoying also glanced at her eldest son unhappily, stopping Cui Xue from wanting to buy meat.
"What are you sitting for? Hurry up and collect the dishes. Are you waiting for others to serve you?" Seeing that he had no tact at all, Liang Xiaoying was even more angry and called him to his feet.
There was no rule in the Cui family that men could not enter the kitchen, nor was there anything that men could not do housework. Usually, if the women in the family were not free, Cui Xiongnian and Cui Yingxiong would also take on the housework at home.
So Liang Xiaoying asked her eldest son to clean up after dinner without any burden. Liu Ping was also accustomed to the way the Cui family got along, so she sat aside and watched her husband busying around.
She wanted to help, but she could not deny that being pregnant was really different from not being pregnant. After a day's work, she felt very tired. Now that she had a full meal, she felt a little sleepy.
But her parents-in-law were still sitting, and she was too embarrassed to ask to go back to her room to rest, so she just forced herself to sit there and rest.
It was only when Cui Xue saw her fatigue and suggested that she take a shower and go back to her room to rest that Liang Xiaoying noticed her.
"Go get some water for your wife, you have no sense
at all." She turned around and began to instruct Cui Yingxiong who was washing the dishes. "Oh." Cui Yingxiong had no objection to serving his wife, and washed his greasy hands, turned around to clean up the bathtub in the bathroom, and then carried hot water to the kitchen.
Cui Xue had boiled the hot water when she came back, and the big pot was enough for the whole family to have a good bath.
In the hot summer, the men in the village would wait until dark to go to the river to wash and cool off, so the hot water in the pot was more than enough for three people at home.
After cleaning up the house, Cui Xue went back to her room to finish her manuscript. After a while, Liang Xiaoying came in to find her.
"Mom?" Cui Xue was a little surprised to see her come in.
"Xue'er, are you busy?" Liang Xiaoying glanced at the kerosene lamp and felt even more distressed for her daughter. She
lit the kerosene lamp and wrote until late at night every day. She worked so hard to make money and also thought about improving the family's food. Although she was touched, she was also very uncomfortable.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not in a hurry. What's the matter?" Cui Xue put the pen down and looked at Liang Xiaoying.
Normally Liang Xiaoying would not bother her unless she had something to do, but now she came to find her, probably because she had something to tell her.
"It's nothing serious, I just want to talk to you about spending money." Liang Xiaoying sighed.
"You can spend your own money however you want, your parents can pay for it. I won't say anything if you buy the meat today, but don't buy it next time."
Cui Xue was a little confused, and she glanced at Liang Xiaoying.
"Mom, money is earned to be spent, and besides, I can't eat alone if I want to, right?"
What she said was right, and Liang Xiaoying didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Oh, mom, it's a good thing that I make money. Isn't it good for a daughter to want to honor you? Why do you think so much? Besides, I can't buy meat every day, right? I don't have enough money for those three or five meals?"
Cui Xue took out the book that the magazine sent her from the side and threw it at her proudly.
"Look, your daughter has published a book. This little money for meat is nothing. When I make more money, I will build a brick and tile house for our family."
Seeing her proud look, Liang Xiaoying couldn't help laughing.
"You, if you have money, take it yourself. Why build a brick and tile house? We are not without money at home. You don't need to worry about this."
"Huh." Cui Xue hummed twice and didn't say anything.
She guessed that the family had some money. After all, they had a lot of labor and didn't spend much money.
Over the years, they had saved some money. As for why they didn't rebuild the house, they had their own considerations. Cui Xue didn't ask much.
"By the way, Mom, do we need to help Liang Zongshan's family?"
"Help with what?"
"Double grab, his mother can't do it alone, right?"
"Well, if she can't do it, there are people in the village to help. Why should we help? It's ridiculous."
After hearing her say this, Cui Xue realized that the production quota had not yet been set, and everyone worked collectively. There was no such thing as one person not being able to finish the work.
He looked at Liang Xiaoying awkwardly, and saw her face full of ridicule.
"You haven't even married yet, and you're already so outgoing?"
"No way, last time my aunt gave me a big wedding gift, and I thought I had a hot hand and couldn't give it back, so I thought I could help her with something."
"Oh, so much?" Liang Xiaoying was surprised, she didn't expect Xu to be so generous.
Ten yuan is a lot of money at that time.
Knowing that she is satisfied with Cui Xue, she should give a big red envelope, but Liang Xiaoying didn't expect it to be so big.
It seems that Xu is really satisfied with Cui Xue as a daughter-in-law.
"Yes, mom, it would be bad if we don't express our gratitude, right?" Cui Xue said with some distress.
"It's okay. After this busy period, mom will prepare something for you and you can go to Zongshan's house." Liang Xiaoying thought about it and had a plan in mind.
