Chapter 6: Eating dim sum is more fun than Chinese New Year



It was Wang Jianguo's first time to come to the supply and marketing cooperative. The members all looked at him strangely, as if they were a savage. He didn't care about other people's looks. He took out his money and bought a pound of meat, some rice, flour, grain and oil. Finally, he saw a very nice floral dress and thought it would suit Huang Yuelan very well, so he asked for one too.

When Wang Jianguo returned home, he saw Wang Xiuhe staying in the kitchen. She had cleaned up the kitchen, boiled water in an iron pot, and poured it into the green iron thermos with a gourd ladle.

Wang Jianguo suddenly felt warmed. Wasn’t this the scene in his dream?

He had always thought that Huang Yuelan was the most beautiful and best girl in the world. Now he discovered that his wife was not only beautiful and kind but also virtuous. His heart was filled with a feeling of happiness.

"Yuelan, I will do all the rough work. You are the new daughter-in-law today, so you don't have to do anything. Just wait for dinner." Wang Jianguo went over and took the ladle.

Huang Yuelan smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not a pampered person. Why would I be so picky?"

"Let me take care of all these. Come, try on the new clothes I bought for you and see if they fit you well." After saying that, Wang Jianguo took out a jacket with a white background and green floral patterns from the basket.

Huang Yuelan put it on and it fit her perfectly. "It's quite good. It's quite comfortable to wear. It's not too big or too small."

Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu ran in and were very envious of their sister's new clothes. They shouted, "Sister has new clothes, why don't we have them?"

"Although you don't have new clothes, you have candy and biscuits. Do you want them?" Wang Jianguo asked.

"Okay, okay, candies and biscuits are much better than clothes!" Huang Yueqiang said happily.

Huang Yuehu also grinned happily. Ever since their father died, they couldn't even eat yellow flour cakes, let alone candies and snacks. It was considered good if they could gnaw on a sweet potato. Now that they heard that there were candies and biscuits to eat, they were so happy that they almost jumped up and down.

Wang Jianguo then took out candies and biscuits from the bamboo basket, as well as a bag of candied fruit snacks wrapped in tarpaulin.

"Take it and eat it. I'll make you fried pork with peppers at noon." Wang Jianguo said to his two younger brothers.

"Thank you, brother! Savage brother is so nice!" the two younger brothers said in unison.

Huang Yuelan quickly said, "Just call me brother, don't add the word savage, that's impolite."

"Got it, sister!" Huang Yueqiang and the others ran out happily after getting the food. They are now seven and six years old. They usually eat and play. Whoever gives them delicious food is a good person.

"My brothers are still young and don't understand things. You shouldn't take it to heart," Huang Yuelan explained to Zhao Jianjun.

"It's okay, it's okay. They are just kids and they say nothing. I know they don't mean any harm. Besides, how can I, a grown man, argue with children? They are still your brothers, I don't care about them at all." Wang Jianguo said to Huang Yuelan with a smile, as happy as a heartless child.

After that, Wang Jianguo took out a bag of candied fruit snacks, untied the thread made of paper, and then opened the oil paper. "Eat some candied fruit snacks to fill your stomach first, I will cook the rice in a while."

Huang Yuelan took the candied fruit snack and tasted it. It was smooth and delicious. She couldn't help but sigh that the honey at this time was really mellow and sweet, but it was impossible to fake it.

Huang Yuelan saw Wang Jianguo take out a pound of meat, as well as peppers, potatoes, etc. from the basket. It can be seen that Wang Jianguo is very generous. If an ordinary family has relatives visiting, they would at most weigh half a pound of meat, and it would be eaten by the whole family.

Wang Jianguo also took down half a rabbit from the wall. "I caught this yesterday. There's still half left. I'll catch two fresh ones next time."

Pick vegetables, wash them, cut them, and then put them in a basin for later use. I didn't expect that the rough guy Wang Jianguo could cook so skillfully, with smooth movements. I have to sigh that men who can cook have a unique charm that is particularly heartwarming.

With a "sizzle" sound, Wang Jianguo waited for the oil in the pot to heat up, and then put the meat in to stir-fry. After it changed color, he put in the scallion whites and greens just before serving, so that it would be fresher and taste better. After stir-frying for a while, he added the chili peppers...

After a while, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen. It must be said that pork in this era was really fragrant. After just a while of frying, the aroma spread. Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu stared at the kitchen with eager eyes, thinking one thing in their hearts: their sister's choice was very correct.

What good is it to follow grandparents and uncle? Every day they make me go up the mountain to collect firewood, but they only give me vegetable nests to eat, and most of the time they are cold.

It’s different when I’m with my brothers and sisters. Not only do I have candies and biscuits, but I also have candied fruit snacks and now I can even eat meat! This little life is even more abundant than the Chinese New Year! I’m so happy.

Although the two of them were greedy, they did not dare to eat all the candies and candied snacks. They also knew that such days did not come every day, so they had to be frugal. One piece a day was enough. After dinner, they planned to take one of the pieces out to show off.
