"Sister-in-law, what was Brother Chen thinking? He actually asked me to get him some pig offal. Is this stuff even edible? I only managed to get three sets. Where am I supposed to put them?"
Jiang Jinxiu reached out to take it, but Wu Wen dodged it.
"It's heavy, just tell me where to put it."
Jiang Jinxiu pointed to the cutting board by the well.
Huang Tao also had a burlap sack in his hand, the contents of which were unknown, and placed it next to Wu Wen's burlap sack.
"Sister-in-law, these two bags are pig offal, and this bag from Brother Tao is some bones and pork. Brother Chen only said he wanted pig offal, but I was afraid I couldn't finish it, so I took it upon myself to buy some pork and bones as well."
Jiang Jinxiu found his words both amusing and touching.
"Whether or not pig offal is edible, you'll find out by staying for dinner today."
Jiang Jinxiu's words stirred up their thoughts.
Only Huang Tao looked bitter. He also wanted to stay and freeload a meal, but there were still many things waiting for him at the bureau.
He can stay for another hour at most before he has to go back.
When Jiang Jinxiu first saw Wu Wen, she immediately thought of what had happened a few days ago.
But seeing that he seemed normal, he put it out of his mind.
After all, Wu Wen didn't recognize her, did he?
She found several baskets and basins and put out all the things they had brought.
Three servings of pig offal, that's quite a lot.
And these pork and pork bones must have taken a lot of effort to get them.
After all, without enough meat coupons, they wouldn't be able to buy so many.
That's so thoughtful.
Yang Dongmei had originally planned to buy a few chickens from their village commune, since it was the start-of-work banquet and it wouldn't be right to not have meat dishes to entertain others.
But before we even left the house, Wu Wen and the others had already delivered so much meat.
It seems I won't need to make this trip.
There's quite a bit of pork and pork bones in this dish.
This is not something that ordinary people can buy.
She quickly pulled Jiang Jinxiu aside: "Jinxiu, they must have put a lot of thought into this meat. Remember to pay them. We can't just take things from others for nothing."
Jiang Jinxiu nodded, indicating that the money would definitely be given.
However, this is Gu Xichen's comrade-in-arms, so it's better for him to come forward himself.
Yang Dongmei understood and didn't dwell on it any further.
She believed her third son would handle it well.
Today, not only Aunt Pang and her family came to help, but several neighboring families also came to help when they saw them busy.
That's how it is in the countryside here. If a neighbor needs help, they'll lend a hand without you having to ask them.
When they saw so much meat at once, they were all speechless with astonishment.
After all, very few people are so extravagant.
Buy so much pork.
People rarely get to eat pork normally.
Even if I buy some, it's only a tiny bit to satisfy my craving.
Seeing so much pork all at once made me swallow hard.
It was as if they could eat it any second.
Seeing so much pork, everyone knew that their trip had been worthwhile.
However, when everyone's attention shifted to the pig offal on the side, some questions arose.
This stuff tastes awful when cooked; the gamey smell just won't go away.
They couldn't understand why Yang Dongmei's family would serve them such unpalatable food.
Sun Xiaomeng and Gu Xilan, on the other hand, had their eyes light up when they saw the pig offal.
Noticing their expressions, the plump aunt couldn't help but wonder about Li. She nudged Sun Xiaomeng next to her and said, "What's with that expression? That thing smells so bad, why are you swallowing?"
Sun Xiaomeng said mysteriously, "That stuff smells really bad right now, but once it's cooked, it will definitely surprise you. Don't try to take it from me then."
Others expressed disbelief.
"What do you know? My third sister-in-law is a great cook. And you guys who live next door to us, haven't you ever smelled the aroma? We've cooked it so many times," Gu Xilan said proudly.
At this moment, Aunt Hua, who lived closest to their house, spoke up: "You silly girl, your family's cooking always looks the most tempting. Is it all cooked by your third sister-in-law?"
"At first, yes, but then my third brother came back and started cooking. He really learned from my sister-in-law. The food he cooked today is so good you'll want more."
As Gu Xilan spoke, she unconsciously swallowed.
Her mind drifted back to the pig intestines that her third brother and sister-in-law had cooked before.
Oh my god, she's drooling.
Gu Xilan completely ignored the food cooked by the others.
Jiang Jinxiu shook her head and chuckled as she tapped Gu Xilan's forehead: "You little glutton, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Hurry up and get to work, or it won't be ready by the time you're done, and then what will you eat?"
Gu Xilan playfully stuck out her tongue at her, then picked up the pig offal and began to clean it.
Seeing this, the others also gathered around.
Three sets of pig offal, that's a lot of food, but luckily we have enough manpower.
Jiang Jinxiu wasn't worried that others wouldn't know how to clean it.
After all, there were family members around; Yang Dongmei, Sun Xiaomeng, and Gu Xilan were all very experienced.
While washing, the group taught the others who didn't know how.
In no time, everyone was busily working together, and their discussions could be heard from time to time.
Gu Xichen hadn't returned from the family homestead, so Jiang Jinxiu had to entertain Huang Tao and the others first.
Huang Tao also brought them some news this time.
