728: Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding
Seeing Yu Zhengxian staring at the child for a long time, Xu Ying gave him another instruction:
"Don't look at it anymore. Go to the box in the main hall and get the water ticket. Then go to the water station at the entrance of the alley and fetch some water."
"oh oh."
Yu Zhengxian looked at it reluctantly for a few more times, then looked at Chen Ci twice, and then went out to fetch water.
After fetching water, he came back to light the fire and cook, and quickly prepared breakfast for the whole family.
Xu Ying gave Yu Zhengxian another clay pot and asked him to ride his bicycle to the state-owned breakfast shop next to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Chen Ci some tofu pudding and half a pound of fried dough sticks.
Yu Zhengxian didn't know how to ride a bicycle, so he could only walk there carrying the clay pot. When he came back, he not only carried a full clay pot of tofu pudding, two kilograms of fried dough sticks, but also ten large buns stuffed with minced meat and sauerkraut wrapped in newspaper, and two fried cakes stuffed with radish.
Yu Zhengxian had made a lot of money and food coupons when he was running around on the black market. He usually earned a lot and spent little, especially when he arrived at the forest farm. He had basically no place to spend money. He only occasionally went to the farm office to spend money to buy things for Chen Ci, but all the money he spent was his salary, so he basically didn't spend any of the money he had earned before.
Now that I have enough money, I am willing to spend money on my family and want them to eat good food.
After buying these things and bringing them home, he first sent them to the main hall and placed the buns, fried dough sticks and fried cakes on the kang table. Xu Ying criticized him:
"How about living?"
Yu Zhengxian smiled flatteringly:
"I bought it to improve your meals."
Yu Erye stared at the golden fried dough sticks and greasy big buns, and the steamed bun in his mouth instantly lost its taste. He glanced at Xu Ying quietly, and seeing that Xu Ying's attention was not here, he quietly took two buns, stuffed one into Cuihua, and kept one for himself. He quickly put it in his mouth and took a bite. He really tasted the meat filling, it was so delicious!
Although his family would go to the state-owned breakfast shop every now and then to buy these things to satisfy their cravings, Yu Erye could not get enough of these meat buns with thin skin and large fillings for three meals a day! He simply could not get enough!
Fatty sat in Yu Erye's arms, as if she could smell the fragrance. She looked up at her father eating with a savory taste, and her saliva was streaming down her face.
Yu Erye quietly pinched some bun skin and stuffed it into Pang Ya's mouth. Pang Ya immediately started to eat it with a "smacking sound". Even though she had no teeth yet, it did not stop her from enjoying the delicious food.
The father and daughter ate and smiled at each other.
When Cuihua saw that Yu Erye and Pang Ya had started eating, she dared to take a bite quietly.
Seeing that the three of them were enjoying their meal, Xu Ying said nothing more and instructed Yu Zhengxian:
"Put the tofu pudding in the pot and heat it up. When it's hot, sprinkle some pickled vegetables on it and bring it to Xiao Shen."
"Oh, okay."
Yu Zhengxian carried the clay pot to the kitchen again.
After a while, it was heated up and a bowl was served to Chen Ci. He also took out a fried dough stick, a big bun, and half a fried cake, and stayed with Shen Ci, helping her wash and eat.
On this side, Xu Ying saw that this bastard had been busy all the time since he came back. Not only did he take the initiative to work, he even spent so much money to buy them a bunch of buns and fried dough sticks. It seemed like he had become a completely different person.
Moreover, he was truly kind to Shen Ci and his newborn child from the bottom of his heart, and it was not an act at all.
Xu Ying saw all the changes in Yu Zhengxian. When the second brother and his family of three were away, Xu Ying couldn't help but say to Yu Jiahui:
"Hey, I think this idiot seems to have changed."
Yu Jiahui put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth:
"What the hell, look at him pretending!"
“——”
"Have you forgotten that during the Chinese New Year last year, he pretended to be even more obedient, more proactive, and more reckless than he is now? And what happened next?"
Xu Ying thought about what happened last year and nodded suddenly:
"I almost got tricked by him again—ah, but I think he's sincere towards Xiao Shen and the child. Didn't you see the way he looked at the child? His eyes were shining!"
"Nonsense, who doesn't like a newborn son? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Think about why he's pretending to be so obedient now. Isn't it just to get us to help take care of his son? He's using these little favors to buy people's hearts. Otherwise, why would he be so kind as to buy you fried dough sticks, buns, and pancakes? This guy's calculations are clear. Do you think he's really filial to you? He loves his son because he loves him. It has nothing to do with you!"
Yu Jiahui successfully provoked Xu Ying's anger:
"Damn it! I agreed to cut ties with this bastard, but he's blackmailing me again. I'm so pissed!"
"Forget it, let's help him one last time. It's all we can do. Aren't they going to divorce after they have the baby? If they do, we'll have some peace and quiet."
After saying this, Yu Jiahui lifted his legs and got off the kang:
"Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to work with the second brother. That bastard got up eighteen times last night and I didn't sleep well all night--" As he said this, he yawned.
Yu Jiahui got off the kang, wrapped himself in his coat, put on a thick dog-skin hat, and a pair of rabbit-fur gloves. He wrapped himself up tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed. He walked into the yard and shouted:
"Second brother, it's time to go to work!"
“Here it comes!”
Yu Erye came out of Xiaoye's room, and the father and son pushed their bicycles and went out to work together.
After the two men left, Xu Ying looked at the table full of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and hot tofu pudding, and thought, forget it, the bastard's filial piety is fake, but the steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding are real, it would be a waste not to eat them.
Xu Ying served herself a big bowl of tofu pudding and started eating it with relish.
After eating, Cuihua came over to clean up the dishes.
Xu Ying went to Chen Ci's place to help take care of the children.
Cuihua fed little Changning again. At this time, the two little guys were full and lay on the kang to play. Yu Zhengxian was washing the diaper in the room.
Little Changning had a meal of milk before going to bed last night, urinated at night, and defecated again in the morning. Yu Zhengxian took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the diaper. He didn't think it was dirty, and even thought that the child's feces smelled of milk.
After washing the diaper, wrung it dry, and hung it on the rope in the house, the work was basically done, and she went to the kang to see the child.
Chen Ci sat up and looked for Yu Zhengxian.
By chance, my eyes met Yu Zhengxian's.
Chen Ci is now willing to look Yu Zhengxian in the eye, but her gaze is cold and without any emotion, even worse than before when she was angry and didn't look at him.
Chen Ci said calmly:
"You should go back now. Don't delay your work in the cafeteria. There are also pigs and rabbits to feed in the cafeteria. Without Hei Dou watching over them, I'm afraid a wolf might come and steal them at night without you even noticing."
Hearing Chen Ci talking to him about work without any emotion, Yu Zhengxian felt a chill in his spine.
He didn't want to leave, but he knew he had to.
He had to leave this warm home, his wife and newborn son.
Because he now has to learn to be a responsible person, responsible to his wife and children, and responsible for his work.
You can't make your wife unhappy, and you can't quit your job.
So I have to go back, there is no choice.
He suppressed his reluctance and said:
"Okay then, I'm going back—"
