Jiang Mingli did not refute and listened obediently.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jiang Wenchen continued, "Dad, I want to stay at my grandparents' house. Brother, can you stay with me? We can eat and play together. It would be great. If you don't come with me, I won't be happy."
"Just come back with me honestly. There's food at home. Don't act like I'm not giving you food."
"But I don't eat white rice every meal. I only eat it once every few days. I don't eat meat every day. I eat it twice a week at most..." I still know which life is better. Don't fool me. I'm such a smart kid, how could I be fooled by my father?
Jiang Mingli opened his mouth to say something, but closed it. He couldn't eat meat every day, so he couldn't promise Jiang Wenchen anything. "From now on, Dad will try to give you one more meat meal every week."
"No, I want to stay at my grandparents' house. I want to eat meat every day." Is Dad stupid? Eating meat every day versus eating meat only once every few days, even a fool would know to choose eating meat every day!
I can no longer tolerate it.
"Anyway, I am your father. If I tell you to go back, you should go back. Why are you talking so much? You still eat meat every day. Why don't you go to heaven? The reason why you can eat meat every day these days is because your aunt got married and there is a lot of leftover meat. Your grandparents love us, so they cook meat for every meal. Otherwise, how could you eat meat every day? If you want to stay, then stay. I don't care. By then, you can eat sweet potatoes for every meal and meat once a month. Don't make trouble with me." Jiang Mingli threatened Jiang Wenchen.
Jiang Mingli snorted coldly: "Do you really think meat is so easy to buy? You can only eat meat once or twice a week, or your father, I, secretly find someone to trade it for you, otherwise you can only eat it twice a month at most? You still have the nerve to look down on me, you really don't know how to appreciate the blessing you have."
When Jiang Wenchen heard that he had to eat sweet potatoes for every meal, his brows immediately frowned, because Jiang Wenchen felt that sweet potatoes were not delicious at all. After eating them, he did not feel good at all and kept farting.
"Dad, are you lying to me?"
"I lied to you? What did I lie to you about? If you don't believe me, you can ask. Then ask your aunt if what I said is true." Jiang Mingli looked at Jiang Shushu and winked at her, asking her to cooperate.
"Auntie, is it true? Old Jiang only has these few good days to live, right?"
Jiang Shushu: “…” I still have many good days ahead of me.
"The reason why we have so much meat to eat these days is because my aunt and uncle bought too much meat and couldn't use up all the leftovers, so we have been eating it for so many days." So tomorrow, go back with your dad honestly.
Jiang Wenzhe had a look of regret and helplessness on his face, "Okay, my flesh is gone, my flesh is gone, Dad, I feel unhappy, I just enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet, my happy life is gone, wuwuwu..." Jiang Wenchen felt very sad, very sad, it was the saddest moment in his life.
Jiang Shushu: "..." If I didn't know, I'd think you'd been through so many years. You've even used up your leisure time.
"Your happiness is still there, your happiness is still there. I have asked your grandmother to pack the last big piece of braised pork in our house and take it to the provincial capital for you tomorrow. You can eat meat when you get there, and your happiness will be back. But if you are crying, I can't guarantee that your happiness and happiness are still there? Because when your aunt is in a bad mood, I want to eat meat. If you keep crying, I will definitely be in a bad mood. Then I will eat that big piece of braised pork to calm myself down." Jiang Shushu smiled and said the most vicious words in my gentlest tone.
Jiang Wenchen immediately covered his mouth with his little hands to prevent himself from crying and disturbing Jiang Shushu's mood, and then ate the meat he had been longing for.
I will try my best to hold on to my last bit of happiness and joy.
Jiang Mingli: "..." Can't this kid think of something else? Why is his mind full of meat, meat, meat? He keeps talking about meat.
Jiang He and his wife felt a little sad and a little funny when they saw Jiang Wenchen being so obedient just to have two more meals of meat.
Jiang He: "Wenchen, don't cry. When you and your dad come back during the Chinese New Year, grandpa will ask grandma to kill a chicken for you. I guarantee you and your brother will each get a big chicken drumstick."
"Really, can I have two?" Jiang Wenchen stretched out two fingers.
"Okay, I'll give you a big chicken drumstick on New Year's Eve and a big chicken drumstick on the second day of the New Year."
Jiang Wenchen burst into laughter and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
Jiang Mingli nodded Jiang Wenchen's head in annoyance, "All you do is eat all day long. You're so greedy, you might get sold out one day without even realizing it."
"Haha, no way. I'm smart. Even if I can't do it, I still have my brother. My brother is also very capable."
"Now that we've made our point clear, stop making a fuss and go back to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow to go back to the provincial capital."
Jiang Mingli looked at Jiang Wenzhe and said, "Wenzhe, you should go to bed too. You have to get up early tomorrow morning. You two need to get enough sleep."
Jiang Mingli watched the two brothers go to bed and cover themselves with the quilt, then followed everyone out of the room.
"Thank you for what you did today, little sister."
"You're welcome. It's our duty. Brothers and sisters should help each other. As your sister, I'll give you a piece of advice. Find a wife with good character, otherwise a disaster can affect three generations of your family." Next time, open your eyes wide and take a good look. Don't always come back to cause trouble.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Jiang Shushu whispered to Xu Hehua, "Mom, let's have 'Remembering the Bitterness and Thinking of the Sweetness' meal tomorrow morning, so that Wen Chen won't think we're lying to him."
Jiang He: "That's a good idea. Let's do it tomorrow, so Wen Chen doesn't worry about us and quarrel with his father."
"Okay, then let's have a meal tomorrow to remember the bitterness and think of the sweetness."
"Mom, no matter what you cook tomorrow, I only want one bowl of bitter sweet rice. How much do you want to eat? It's up to you." This must be agreed upon in advance to avoid making a big pot. In order not to waste food, no matter how bad it tastes, it has to be eaten up. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Jiang Shushu pulled Yang Xiaobei's hand and said, "How much do you want to eat? Just a little to fill your stomach.
"Mom, I want two." This thing tastes so bad. If one didn't look ugly, I would only want one.
Jiang He: "I'll just be like Shushu." Just eat it for the sake of showing your appreciation. I ate enough of this stuff when I was a kid. Who would be willing to eat it now?
Yang Xiaobei: "..." Is it too late for me to change my words now?
"Okay, I know how to make breakfast tomorrow. Let's go back and rest."
Yang Xiaobei's words were stillborn.
…
Early the next morning, the family sat together to have breakfast. Jiang Wenchen didn't see any meat on the table. Apart from sweet potatoes and pickles, there was also a fist-sized green pancake on the table.
Jiang Wenchen picked up one, took a bite, and immediately spat it out. "Wow, why is this so unpalatable?"
