She put down her chopsticks angrily and said coquettishly, "Brother, I have no appetite!"
Although Su Gan was humiliated, he thought about his wife who was pregnant and hadn't eaten anything yet!
He reached out and poured a bowl of bone soup for Liu Jiajia. "This soup tastes good too. You should drink some."
"I want to eat too! But the baby in my belly doesn't want to eat! Except for the braised pork just now, the smell of these dishes makes me sick, I really can't eat them!
They say the first three months are the most dangerous. If you and I are like this now, will the baby...?"
Liu Jiajia hesitated to speak, leaving Su Gan plenty of room for imagination.
"What are you thinking? The child will be fine! It's just braised pork, right? Just make another one!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Su Guoyu and said, "Aunt, can you make another serving of this braised pork? Look, Jia Jia is pregnant and she wants to eat this."
Su Guoyu: “…”
Who at the table, except Su Gan, didn't understand? It wasn't that Liu Jiajia couldn't eat anything else; it was obvious that she had Su Gan in her grasp and was competing with Lan Guoer!
Su Guoyu will not indulge her!
"As I just said, our meat coupons have been used up a long time ago. The only meat we have for this meal was brought over by Guo'er from her husband's family. If your wife wants to eat it, wait until you come back to buy some meat and ask Aunt Liu to cook it for you."
Su Gan vaguely remembered that his aunt seemed to have said this before the meal. Knowing that his aunt was not lying to him, he had to coax Liu Jiajia to eat something else.
Liu Jiajia really couldn't eat anymore this time! The elders of the Su family really didn't take her and her children seriously! Isn't it just a portion of braised pork? How could the Su family's eldest grandson not eat it?
Although she was angry, she didn't want to let her child starve, so she stood up and said, "I can't eat anymore! I'm going upstairs to rest first."
As she spoke, she pointed casually at the bananas on the plate and said, "Brother, I think that plate of bananas is refreshing. Please show me the room!"
She had been thinking about this banana since she came down, and now she finally found a reason.
Su Gan glanced at the plate of bananas but didn't touch it. He still remembered the embarrassment just now.
Liu Jiajia didn't care about his reaction. She said everything she needed to say and went upstairs with her flat belly.
Su Gan was smarter this time. He looked at Lan Guoer and said, "Guoer, your cousin is pregnant and has a poor appetite. Look at this banana..."
Although bananas are a rare commodity at this time, they are available in Lan Guoer's space, and she can have as many as she wants.
But she just couldn't stand the way her cousin and his wife acted. It was just a pregnancy, wasn't it? It was as if everyone owed them anything!
She quickly broke off two bananas and handed them to Su Gan. "These bananas are hard to come by in the north! I brought them here for the elders to try. Since my cousin's wife wants to eat some, let's split one each. These two are yours and my cousin's wife's."
"this......"
After hearing what Lan Guoer said, Su Gan felt a little embarrassed to take it! It was as if he was competing with his elders for food.
Yu Lei glanced at her eldest son. She felt ashamed to be with him! He had been manipulated by his wife to the point of losing his backbone!
But when she thought of her unborn grandson, she had to consider her daughter-in-law's health and find a way for him to save face!
"Your younger sister gave it to you, so just take it! If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, take your wife out for a walk, buy some food for her, and add a few dishes to the family."
Su Gan then took it and went upstairs.
Liu Jiajia hadn't eaten much at noon, and her stomach was growling with hunger. She sat on the bed, thinking about the sweet and sticky bananas she would have soon, and couldn't help swallowing a few times.
That was a banana! She remembered the last time she had one was when she was in elementary school.
Her deskmate at the time came from a well-off family. One day, she brought one to school. Seeing that it was soft and fluffy, she wanted to ask her deskmate for some to try.
Seeing that she was interested, her deskmate asked her to help him clean the blackboard for a month, and he would give her half of it.
That was the first time Liu Jiajia tasted a sweet banana. She still can't forget the taste.
Seeing Su Gan pushing the door in, she looked at his hands with wide eyes.
Upon seeing this, the light in her eyes immediately disappeared!
"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to bring them all up? Why are there only two? This, this isn't even enough for the baby to smell!"
Su Gan was feeling depressed, and when he heard her complain like that, he got angry too!
He threw two bananas on the table and said, "You think this is cabbage? Eat as much as you want? And you think it will keep you full?"
I'm afraid there aren't many of these in Kyoto! If you think it's too little, go out and look around. If you can find some, buy as much as you want!"
Liu Jiajia instantly drooped. How could she not know there were not enough bananas? Even if there were a lot, she wouldn't be willing to buy them! They must be so expensive!
Although the second branch of the Su family has not yet split up, it makes no difference if it has.
Ever since Su Guosheng got married, the old man had already made it clear that any son who got married, even if he was independent, would earn his own living and make his own living. As for his property, no one was allowed to covet it; he would give it to whoever he wanted.
Su Guokai followed his grandfather's style and explained this matter on the night of Su Gan's wedding.
Liu Jiajia only has an elementary school education. After marrying Su Gan, Yu Lei bought her a job in a textile factory with a monthly salary of 30 yuan.
Su Gan works in an office, but his position is not high. He is just a small clerk and earns 38 yuan a month.
In theory, with their combined salaries, the couple should be able to live a comfortable life.
But who made Liu Jiajia have such a vampire mother-in-law?
After more than a year of marriage, Liu Jiajia's salary had gone almost entirely to support her parents' family. The couple's expenses were entirely covered by Su Gan's thirty-eight yuan.
Liu Jiajia was in charge of the family's finances and didn't dare tell Su Gan about this, so she had to live frugally. She had to pick the cheapest cabbage, not to mention bananas.
Seeing that Liu Jiajia was silent, Su Gan realized that his tone was too harsh. He sat down next to Liu Jiajia, peeled a banana for her, and coaxed her:
"Fill your stomach first, then we'll go for a walk. Kyoto has a lot of delicious food, like roast duck, pea yellow, Beijing eight pieces, noodles with soybean paste, and so much more! You pack up, and I'll take you for a walk. Let's see if there's any bananas for sale."
Liu Jiajia really wanted to go! But she had no money! Wouldn't everything be exposed if she went out? Even if Su Gan was dumb, he could still calculate the family's expenses. Normally, she would have at least three or four hundred yuan.
She took the banana, lowered her head and put it in her mouth, hiding the panic in her eyes, "I'm a little tired and don't want to move."
