He Ailian has never been one to suffer losses. Seeing Old Lady Su coming back like this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, how can you be so mean when your sister-in-law wastes things like this?"
What she did is actually breaking the rules of our Su family. They are the eldest branch, and the eldest branch doesn't follow the rules. If someone else follows suit, you'll see how you manage them when the time comes."
What He Ailian meant by this was, if you don't care, I will do the same thing, I will also grind flour, eggs, and your oil. My sister-in-law took the lead, and I learned this from her.
Old Mrs. Su would not tolerate her and glared at her.
"What's the matter? Can't you bear to see others eating something delicious? If you have the guts, you can also buy it with money.
The boss gave me one dollar. If you think it's unfair, give me one dollar too. I will personally make you a bowl of noodles with thin flour and put two eggs on it."
He Ailian was speechless after being browbeaten by Old Lady Su. Where could she get a dollar?
The money and tickets of each team were held in the old lady's hands.
However, the geographical conditions of their Shiqiao Village are quite good. It is backed by a big mountain and there is a river in the east of the village, which provides them with a way to make money.
In their spare time, farmers can go to the city to work, or go to the mountains to hunt game, pick mushrooms, catch fish and shrimp in the river, etc. They can eat the harvest or secretly take it to the black market to exchange for some money.
Of course, they would no longer give this extra income to Mrs. Su.
She used all their family money to buy medicine because she wanted to have a son.
As a result, after all the money was spent, my stomach didn't get bloated at all and never got bigger again.
Su Laoer was also completely disappointed in her. He had not given her any money for nearly three months.
Now, let alone a dollar, she can't even take out 50 cents.
After hearing that the boss gave a dollar to Old Lady Su, He Ailian had nothing to say.
But he still felt unhappy in the end, so he called his daughters back to their rooms.
In the evening, Xu Guixiang and He Ailian cooked a big pot of braised potatoes with the pound of meat.
Just as the meal was ready, Old Man Su and Su Weidong and Su Weimin also came back.
They could smell the aroma of food from a distance away. They were all outside and still didn't believe it came from their house.
Everyone knows that the old woman is very picky on weekdays. This is not uneconomical. She must be reluctant to spend money on meat.
It was not until they passed the kitchen door and heard the sizzling sound of the pot and the aroma of meat wafted out of the door and into their noses that they believed that they would really have meat to eat that night.
"Dad, Weidong, Weimin, are you back?" Su Weiguo heard the noise and hurried out to greet them.
"How could your mother be willing to buy meat?" Old Man Su asked in surprise.
"Dad, I paid for the meat. When your granddaughter comes back from the city to visit us tomorrow, I'll buy some meat and we'll have a reunion dinner together."
"Is Qin Li back?"
"It's Wanwan, our Wanwan is back." After saying that, he remembered what Old Man Su said and continued, "Yes, Lili is back too, the two of them came back together."
"Wan Wan"
Su Weiguo suddenly raised his neck and shouted into the house.
Su Wan was helping to set the table in the main room when she heard Su Weiguo calling her to hurry out.
"Come here quickly, your grandfather is back." Su Weiguo waved to Su Wan.
Upon hearing this, Su Wan hurried towards them.
The impression that Old Man Su gave him was that of a serious person. He seemed not to be involved in the big family events unless they were too important.
As for her two uncles, Su Weidong and Su Weiming, Su Wan remembered that she had hardly spoken to them for several days last time.
It was also because he had stayed in the Su family for too short a time. After his reputation was ruined, she stayed in the house all day and relied on Xu Guixiang to bring her food and drink. These two uncles and grandfather were almost strangers to him.
"Su Wan, your grandpa." Su Weiguo pointed at old man Su and introduced him.
"Grandpa," Su Wan called out obediently.
"Well, come back. Come back and visit your parents more often if you have nothing to do."
"I will, Grandpa."
Old Man Su nodded at him and went to wash his hands.
"Wanwan, this is your second uncle, and this is your third uncle." Su Weiguo pointed at Su Weidong and Su Weimin and introduced them.
"Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, you've been tired all day, wash your hands and eat. The meal is ready."
"good"
"good"
Su Weidong and the Soviet people all responded and went to wash their hands.
When the food was served, Old Lady Su scooped a large spoonful of meat and potatoes for each person, pouring almost a bowl into the bowl.
After everything was done, there was still a little left in the pot, so Old Lady Su evenly poured it into each bowl. In the end, she even wiped up all the soup at the bottom of the pot with the rice cakes.
I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.
As soon as they finished their meal, Su Sangou and the maids from the second and third rooms each carried two stools to the threshing ground at the east end of the village to grab a seat.
The venue there is very big, and all the movies in the village are shown there.
It was still early for the movie to start, and some children went to grab seats while Xu Guixiang and He Ailian were leisurely cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen.
Ever since Cao Xiaohua became pregnant, Old Lady Su believed that she was carrying a boy, so she wouldn't let her go to the kitchen to help out.
So the housework was basically handed over to Xu Guixiang and He Ailian. Sometimes when they were too busy, Old Lady Su would come forward to help.
Xu Guixiang is kind and broad-minded. As the eldest sister-in-law, she is very particular about housework.
He Ailian would sometimes grumble a few words, but because she couldn't give birth to a son, she didn't dare to be too arrogant. Generally speaking, the Su family lived in harmony.
After dinner, the men of the Su family went to the river to take a bath, leaving only the two of them and Old Lady Su in the main room.
Su Wan had just helped clean up the dining table when Qin Li came in with a tray carrying three bowls of water.
Rural people don't care so much. When they are thirsty, they just fill a bowl with water.
"Grandma, drink some water." Qin Li picked up a bowl of water and placed it in front of Grandma Su.
After that, he picked up another bowl and placed it in front of Su Wan, "Su Wan, you should drink a glass of water too. The dishes we had tonight were very oily and salty. I'm afraid you'll be thirsty when you go to the movies later."
Qin Li finally took action against her.
It is estimated that what is about to happen tonight will be more exciting than the movie.
I'm really looking forward to it!
Su Wan tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, picked up the bowl of water with one hand, and said to Qin Li with a smile:
"I'm a little thirsty. Thank you, Qin Li. You understand me the best."
