Chapter 527 Did I Lie to You? (Chapter 9)
Although the program team advocates live broadcast, there is actually a time difference in order to control some negative things, so this segment was directly cut off.
Zhong Kangle and Di Guoliang each picked up their things, and then happily followed Zhong Changcun and the Wei family away. They first had a great week in Kyoto, and then flew to Shanghai together to complete the household registration for Zhong Kangle before returning home.
Without cameras watching them all the time, everyone felt comfortable, especially Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei. They were terrified when they thought about it, but at the same time they were inexplicably excited as they had also been on TV.
At this time, Di Guoliang finally got the chance to talk to his mother.
Not only his own mother, but also neighbors who heard the news gathered together.
Looking at so many people, Di Guoliang stood on a stone and began to talk about books as if he was on stage. He talked about his experiences in Shanghai.
Di Guoliang decided to go to school on the first day, and also made a bet that he would get a bicycle if he ranked in the top ten in the class.
He happily went to the video conference with his bag slung over his shoulders.
Pei Donggang and Zhong Meixin exchanged glances. Since there were cameras everywhere in the room, they had no intention of becoming close friends and were just about to wash up and watch TV.
The old lady next door knocked on the door, "Dong Gang, Mei Xin, are you home?"
Zhong Meixin smiled and answered while opening the door: "I'm here, Auntie, what can I do for you?"
The old woman poked her head in and looked inside, not seeing Di Guoliang, so she said, "Didn't your family adopt a godson? In the evening, he was so hungry that he came to my house to borrow 20 meat buns, saying that he would ask you to pay him back later.
I'm thinking, you don't need to bother making dumplings, just fold it into flour and meat for me."
"Twenty, twenty?" Zhong Meixin felt dizzy after hearing this.
The old lady smiled and gestured cheerfully, "That's right. The young people nowadays are really good eaters. My goodness, I made such big buns to save trouble, but they only eat one in two or three bites. I was so scared that they would be too full."
We cook our own meals, the dough and fillings are very authentic, we use the best flour and meat with alternating fat and lean texture.
It's not easy to eat buns once, so we can't just make do with it, right?"
"Aunt, when have you ever made such big buns?" Zhong Meixin asked, almost unable to hold back her laughter, gritted her teeth.
She really wanted to say that audiences across the country were watching the live broadcast, so couldn’t this old lady just tell the truth?
Everyone in the family compound knew that this old lady was very careful with her money. How could she be willing to use such good flour and meat? And it was as big as a bowl!
"What's the matter?" the old lady said with a frown. She turned back to the house and got a basket. She lifted the cloth and saw that the five buns inside were as big as she described. "Look, did I lie to you? Do I need to open them one by one to show you?
The buns are already in your stomach, are you planning to refuse to pay?
I gave the child food because I thought you two were good people, but who knew you would have this attitude!
Anyway, I don't care. People are staying in your house, so you two will have to pay for the flour and meat!"
Pei Donggang also heard it and felt troubled by the old lady's rogue behavior.
"Meixin, bring some flour and meat to Auntie."
Zhong Meixin was very angry, but she had seen the old lady having conflicts with other people. Although the old lady was not tall or strong, she had never lost a battle.
"Aunt, I just came back from visiting relatives with my children. We didn't buy any meat at home. How about I weigh some flour and sausage for you?"
The old lady nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'm easy to talk to," and then she gave the exact number.
Zhong Meixin put the things in the box for her, and couldn’t help but say, “Aunt, all the flour for our family this month is here.
The child is ignorant and comes to you for help again. Don't indulge him.
No family is particularly wealthy and can afford to feed their children like this.
Otherwise, we won’t have anything to return to you next time.”
The old lady nodded, turned around and left happily with the things in her arms.
The audience actually thought that the old lady who took advantage was quite cute. What a joke! Evil will be punished by evil!
After closing the door, the couple looked at each other. They were both very angry, but they couldn't show it. They could only wash up and go to bed early.
Di Guoliang came back and slept in the small cabin, while the two children slept with their parents.
In fact, Zhong Kangle usually slept in the living room by stitching together chairs. Now that there were cameras in the house, they certainly couldn't let Di Guoliang sleep like this any longer. They could only feel angry and silently count the twelve hundred yuan. The family of four squeezed into one bed.
Early the next morning, Zhong Meixin made a basket of corn pot stickers and invited Di Guoliang to eat: "Liangzi, you go to junior high school early, so hurry up and finish eating and report to your father.
Although our house is close to the school, your grandma has caught a cold recently and is not feeling well. I have to take your brother and sister to help home, and I can't come back to cook for you.
Here, these are the pot stickers I just made today. Put them in your bag and take them with you for lunch.
I also boiled an egg.”
After washing up, Di Guoliang grabbed a bite and ate it, frowning. He glanced at Zhong Meixin and said, "Mom, you need to improve your cooking skills. Our family is not rich, so you need to learn to make the food more delicious to balance it out.
My mother also makes corn potstickers, but she uses cornmeal with the cob cob, and they taste much better than yours."
Zhong Meixin forced a smile with difficulty, "It can't be helped. Not everyone is as skillful as your mother. I've always cooked like this. I'm sorry to have wronged you."
"I think so too. My mother is the best mother," Di Guoliang said with a smile. "Dad, get up and eat with me. I'm not in a hurry. It's the first day of reporting anyway. At worst, I can attend the second class."
Pei Yonggang was still thinking about going to the cafeteria to buy some breakfast, but Di Guoliang insisted on eating together. Helplessly, he could only get up and wash up, chewing the pot stickers that tasted very ordinary with an expressionless face.
He finally finished one, but Di Guoliang stuffed another one into his hand.
"Dad, you eat first. I saw the lunch you got yesterday. I thought you could eat at least two," Di Guoliang laughed, looking particularly filial and sensible.
"My father is serving in the army outside and only comes back for a month or so a year. I don't know what it feels like to have a father. From now on, I will eat with you while we go to work and school respectively," he looked at Pei Donggang with admiration.
"No need, you go to school early. Besides, the school is very close, just a few steps away." Pei Donggang didn't want to eat all kinds of choking pot stickers and steamed buns every morning.
"It's okay, I can just do my morning reading at home. My voice is too loud, and in our village, the teacher is afraid that I will affect other students, so he allows me to go to class after morning reading." He waved his hand and said indifferently.
