"Grandma, just now my aunt scooped a big spoonful of oil into the pot and beat two eggs in it. The kitchen is so fragrant that it's almost overwhelming."
"What? A big spoonful of oil and two beaten eggs? Where did she get the eggs?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Su suddenly remembered that she had something to do this afternoon, so she told Song Sangou to take good care of the two old hens at home and put away the eggs in the kitchen for her.
As a result, she forgot about it when she came back.
This wasteful thing should be made with those two eggs.
Thinking that those were two eggs, Mrs. Su felt a sudden pain in her flesh.
"Yes, grandma, you should go and have a look. Soon everything in the kitchen will be spoiled by my aunt." Su Xiaomi looked even more anxious than Old Lady Su.
When Old Lady Su heard this, she was so angry that she stood up from her chair.
A pair of small feet walked with a whirring sound, cursing as they walked, "Xu Guixiang, you idiot, you're going to ruin our Su family and then you're going to quit, right? You're just a little girl, come back and just say something, give her food and let her go hungry, are you going to treat her like a queen in the palace and serve her..."
Just as Xu Guixiang was about to add water to the pot, she heard Old Lady Su scolding. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked towards Su Weiguo.
Just now, when she came to the kitchen to cook for her daughter, she accidentally saw these two eggs. She was originally planning to borrow two eggs from Old Lady Su, but since there were ready-made eggs, Xu Guixiang decided to kill first and ask for permission later.
Otherwise, the old lady would definitely have some unpleasant words waiting for her, and she didn't want her daughter to hear those unpleasant words for nothing.
I didn't expect this old lady to have such a keen sense of smell. She came over just by smelling the food.
How could she know that it was actually He Ailian who was behind this.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After Su Weiguo finished speaking, he looked at Su Wan with some embarrassment and said:
"Wanwan, don't be angry. Your grandma is used to being frugal. It's mainly because there are so many people in the family and she is used to a hard life. She always thinks about saving every bit of food, for fear that everyone will go hungry in case of a disaster or famine..."
As Su Weiguo was talking, Old Lady Su was already walking towards the door with her small feet.
The rich aroma of lard mixed with fried eggs went straight into her nose. Old Mrs. Su couldn't help it and her saliva almost fell from her mouth.
She stood at the door and swallowed her saliva with all her might, then she raised her voice and cursed as she walked into the house.
"Xu Guixiang, I tell you, that bottle of oil is meant to last until the end of the year. If you dare to cause trouble for me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you...
Although her body was still outside, Old Lady Su had already put her head into the house. Her eyes were like two searchlights, staring straight into the pot.
Seeing the thick layer of oil floating in the wok, two golden fried eggs in the bowl next to the stove, and the chopping board covered with rolled noodles, her heart ached and she reached out to hit Xu Guixiang.
"You're going to die. You put so much oil in a bowl of rice. Do you want to save your whole family?"
Normally, we have a set amount of oil for cooking at home, and we only use a small amount of oil the size of a peanut each time.
Be careful not to pick too much out of the oil tank, and have to use something to scrape some of it out and put it back.
Now she looked at the thick layer of fat floating in the pot, which was enough to cook several meals for her family of more than ten people.
How could Old Mrs. Su feel sorry for him?
Su Weiguo had been on guard against his mother for a long time. Seeing that she was about to attack his wife, he stuffed the firewood in his hand into the stove and quickly stood up to block Xu Guixiang.
"Mom, don't blame Guixiang. It was all my idea. If you want to hit me, just hit me."
"you……"
Old Mrs. Su was so angry that she stretched out her arms to hit him, but the arm was raised high for a while before it slowly let go.
But she felt uncomfortable with the anger in her heart, and finally stretched out a finger and poked Su Weiguo hard on the forehead.
"You useless thing, you forgot your mother after you got married, and you only know how to protect your wife. Now I am ranked as the lowest in your eyes..."
"Mom, don't be angry, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Su Weiguo was not annoyed by being scolded by Old Lady Su. Instead, he smiled and held Old Lady Su's arm and walked out.
The man was tall and strong, and had a lot of strength. Old Lady Su was held up by him with her feet touching the ground, but she was still howling.
"Oh! My oil, oh! My balls..."
After entering the door, Su Weiguo put my mother down and reached into his pocket to take out a dollar.
"Mom, here, consider that bowl of noodles and those two eggs as my money buying you."
When Old Lady Su saw the money, her eyes lit up immediately and she also cried out, reaching out to grab the money while saying, "You are a good kid with a conscience."
Seeing this, Su Weiguo quickly put the hand holding the money behind his back. He knew that if the money was in his mother's hands, it would be difficult to make demands on her.
"Mom, give me a pound of meat ticket first." You need a ticket to buy anything these days.
When Mrs. Su heard this, her face immediately turned away and asked, "What do you want the meat ticket for?"
Our Su family could hardly eat meat a few times a year, and the meat coupons we saved were all exchanged for money by her.
"Mom, our team is showing a movie today. Wanwan and Lili have gone home. We haven't improved our lives for a long time. I'll go buy some meat later. Let's have a good reunion dinner tonight."
Hearing this, Old Lady Su stood there and thought for a while. It was true that their family had not had any meat for two months. Not to mention the children, even the adults would have been spoiled by it a long time ago.
"If you have money, I have no objection, but when you buy meat, you should choose the fat ones. Everyone is short of oil and water, so buying fat ones will make everyone satisfied."
"Hey, mother, I understand. Please give me the meat ticket quickly. If I go too late, I won't be able to buy meat."
These days, supplies are in short supply. The demand for all kinds of things is less than the supply. You have to buy things early. If you go late, you will buy everything.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su took out a handkerchief from her pocket and opened it to reveal all the tickets.
Old Mrs. Su was rummaging through the stack of tickets, looking very reluctant to give them up.
Su Weiguo knew that his mother was willing to spend the money, so he waved the money in front of Old Lady Su.
Old Lady Su cursed, "I must let you losers use up all the little things I have."
But considering the money, she finally gave a piece of meat to Su Weiguo.
Su Weiguo saw the rabbit and the eagle flew away. He held the pound of meat ticket in his hand before handing a dollar to Old Lady Su.
Only then did Mrs. Su's face begin to smile a little, and she carefully folded the money and put it into her pocket.
"Tell your wife that I will let her off this time, but if she dares to cause me trouble again like she did today, I will definitely let her off."
"Oh, mother, I understand. I will tell Guixiang."
Old Mrs. Su glanced into the kitchen with dismay, got a piece of money, and thought that she would have meat to eat in the evening. She was in a good mood and went to the main room with a smile.
