For several days in a row, Lin Shiyu got up early and came to the river at a fixed time.
But she never waited for the person she was waiting for. It was not until the day before Lin Anru returned home that the figure appeared.
Lin Shijie finished making breakfast early in the morning, and was then sent by Zhang to do the laundry, on the grounds that she was having her period and was too lazy to move.
She hadn't even had breakfast yet, and her stomach was so angry that it looked like it was about to burst.
She beat the dirty clothes hard, as if they were not only clothes but also faces that disgusted her.
After she had used up all her strength and her arms were sore, Lin Shijie carried the clothes home without even checking whether they were clean.
Her mother asked her to wash the clothes, but she had no more work to do on a daily basis, so why should she spend so much time on laundry? Anyway, all the dirty and clean clothes of her family were put on her.
As she was walking, full of resentment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure skipping towards the river. Lin Shijie looked at that figure as if he were a poisonous tongue.
"Big sister, mother told you to go back quickly!" Lin Bocai ran over breathlessly and called her back to her senses: "You should go back quickly, mother is very angry."
Lin Bowen couldn't help but get anxious when he saw her still standing there motionless. His mother would get very angry around this time of the month, and even he, her son, would not get along well with her.
Lin Shijie was walking towards home, but her eyes never changed direction.
She looked at the motionless figure standing by the river and listened to the complaining voice in her ears - this world is so disgusting!
After noticing Lin Shijie's figure disappear, Lin Shiyu immediately moved her feet, knowing that she could go home early today.
The bait has been put out, just waiting for the fish to bite.
"I'm so happy today, so oh so happy..." Lin Shiyu hummed a tuneless song to express her mood at the moment.
"Hey, you knew there was meat to eat today before you even got home?!"
"Son-in-law! You're here? You're finally here? Your husband finally brought the meat?"
(?＞?＜?)
Lin Shiyu happily rushed behind Chang Lin.
"Chicken, duck, fish, pig..."
Every time she counted something, her eyes lit up a little, and she was already thinking about how to get these things to eat.
Chang Lin retracted his open hand and touched his nose, thinking that his little niece wanted him to lift her up high!
(PS: The heroine has the body of a child, and throwing herself into the arms of her elders is normal behavior for them. Individual readers please don’t point fingers at her.)
Liu smiled and shook her head, inviting Chang Lin to come in and sit down, but Chang Lin refused.
Since Lin Anru was not at home, it was inconvenient for him, a man, to get along with Liu.
"Ayi is still waiting for me at home, so I'll go back first."
Liu tried to persuade him to stay again and again, but he still refused. There were always one or two gossipers in the village, and Chang Lin didn't want any gossip to spread in Yamada Village.
"Pick out one or two to eat today, and save the rest for tomorrow when your father comes back!"
Liu gave instructions to the two siblings who were about to stick their heads under the basket.
"ah?"
"oh!"
The two were disappointed at first, but then they started choosing with great interest.
It's all in your mouth anyway, so there's not much difference between a day earlier or later.
Finally, the two decided to take out the pork and fish balls, which were not long-lasting, and eat them.
You can still raise chickens, ducks, fish, etc.
"Mom, do you want to cut some meat to take to grandpa and grandma?" Lin Shiyu asked.
Whether she likes it or not, she has to do a good job of showing filial piety to her elders. After all, her father wants to pursue a career in politics, and there can be no mistakes in this regard.
"No need, your uncle also gave them some, so everyone has a share."
In fact, he gave gifts to all four families, but the gifts to each family were different. The gifts to the third family were the most diverse and the heaviest, followed by those to the two elders of the Lin family.
As for the first and second wives, they were only given a piece of meat and nothing else.
However, the other members of the Lin family didn’t know about Chang Lin’s operation, and they were very happy to get the meat.
People these days love fatty meat, the fatter the better, but Lin Shiyu doesn’t like that. She prefers pork belly or more lean meat.
The gift giver didn't know what Lin Shiyu liked, so he only gave her the best one, which was a large piece of pork, 70% of which was fat.
"Chop the pork into pieces, then stir-fry until the oil comes out. Drain the oil and save it for cooking later. Add garlic and garlic sprouts to the meat and stir-fry until fragrant..."
Lin Shiyu was directing, Lin Boyu was frying, and Liu was in charge of lighting the fire.
As Lin Boyu stir-fried the food, the aroma wafted in the air, and the villagers swallowed their saliva countless times before they could satisfy their desire.
The pork is already fried and the soup is ready.
Tonight's soup is made with the fish balls that Chang Lin brought. Put the fish balls in water and cook. After boiling, add a handful of freshly picked vegetables. After boiling again, add appropriate amount of salt.
A pot of delicious soup is ready.
"Luckily, I only cook it once in a while. If I did it every day, we wouldn't have enough food to last for two months."
Liu sighed as she held the cooked rice.
Lin Shiyu said that since she only drank soup and ate meat, it was not worthy of her to cook white porridge, and she had to cook dry rice.
One bowl of rice for porridge is enough to feed the three of them. Cooking rice requires at least two bowls of rice. How can an ordinary family afford such a consumption?
Lin Shiyu's heart skipped a beat. She had always wanted to store food for her family but had never found a chance. Now, wasn't this the opportunity?!
"Then mother should buy some more rice to store at home. We should have plenty of meat and soup to eat in the future."
Liu touched her head and did not refuse.
