"Grandma, it's me, An'an. Please open the window. I made radish stewed with chicken. I'll bring you a bowl so you can taste your granddaughter's cooking skills." When the kang was being repaired a few days ago, An'an specifically asked Guicai to open a window in the inner room, facing Zhou Aiju's room. She had thought clearly that if she made something delicious in the future, she would directly pass it through the window to avoid a commotion. Look, it
's been used just a few days after it was repaired.
"You guys eat, grandma won't be hungry, and you'll have a full meal at night." Zhou Aiju was the first to be elected, and no one followed her. Therefore, she cooked alone during this period of time. Occasionally, if the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Junyan cooked something, she would bring her a bowl.
As for Wang Daying, she has not even had a sip of cold water from the second wife since the separation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even so, the old man still wanted to follow the second wife and ask her to take care of him!
If the old man is sick in the future, even if he can't get out of bed, don't expect Wang Daying to give the elder a sip of hot water.
That's right, there is harm only when there is comparison.
After all, she is the granddaughter she really loves. No matter what good things there are, she will never forget her old friend.
Whether she eats or not, she feels comfortable in her heart.
Seeing that the old lady didn't take it, An An got anxious and stuck her head to the window next door, whispering, "Grandma, if you don't take it, I'll climb over the window! Don't worry if I break my arms or legs." You know what, Zhou Aiju fell for An An's tricks. When An An said this, she immediately got up from the bed, walked to the window on her little feet, took it, and when she got it in her hand, she smelled it! It was so delicious!
"You girl, how much is a chicken? The meat is all in my bowl!"
"It's okay, there's still some in the pot, you can eat as much as you want, if it's not enough, I'll get more from the pot, besides, it's only natural to give grandma more meat." This is the skill of speaking, no old man would dislike the younger generation preparing things for him, even if they say no, but they are happy in their hearts.
And An An's words also made Zhou Aiju feel that this eldest granddaughter is the most filial.
It's no wonder that An An used her mind in front of the old lady. If she were to say it, the old lady has too many grandchildren, and if she wants to leave a good impression in the old lady's heart, she has to show her presence from time to time.
Family affection is also developed through interaction and needs to be managed.
Sure enough, after An An said this, Zhou Aiju was silent. After a while, she said, "I know you two are good siblings." This is a division of the family! Whether it is true filial piety or false filial piety can be seen at a glance.
This topic is too heavy, An An didn't want to continue, she smiled, "Grandma, please eat quickly, Dongdong is calling me, if you don't eat it, it will get cold, there is a fishy smell, it's terrible." Her cute little look made Zhou Aiju laugh.
Dongdong was really waiting in the kitchen. He wanted to eat, but his sister didn't come, so he kept staring at the pot and drooling, but he held it back.
When An An came, the child took a spoon and scooped it from the pot.
The amount of noodles in the pot was enough for the siblings to eat for two or three meals. Fortunately, it was winter and the weather was cold, so the food was easy to store.
The bowl that An An had just served to her grandmother took up half of the noodles in the pot. Obviously, Zhou Aiju's appetite was not enough. An An prepared the portion for her grandfather. As for whether grandma would give it to the grandson, that was not her concern.
An An added a handful of wet noodles to the radish and chicken soup. After it boiled, the smell filled the room.
Dongdong slurped the noodles, raised his head, and said incoherently, "Sister, the taste of this noodle is as good as the pot rice." The child was still upset about not having the pot rice, but after eating the noodles, the taste was also very good, and he immediately forgot about the pot rice.
The two of them ate happily.
The door outside was suddenly pushed open.
Dongdong saw the person coming, put the bowl on the table, and jumped up, "Dad, you are back." In the hearts of almost every child, the father is the most powerful. Gu Weiqiang said that he didn't want to pretend after not seeing him for a few days.
Dongdong climbed onto Gu Weiqiang like a monkey and hugged his neck. An An was jealous of their affection. The siblings thought that their father would not be back until the New Year, but he came many days earlier. This was a big surprise.
Gu Weiqiang was obviously very tired after being away for a few days. His face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. His chin was full of stubble, and he deliberately rubbed it against Dongdong's delicate face.
Not only that, he also pinched the boy's face. In just these few days, the boy's face became plumper. He laughed, "Dongdong! You've gained weight! It's better to be fatter!" Dongdong was pinched by his old father and hid in Gu Weiqiang's arms. His face was shy and timid. "Sister, make me delicious food every now and then."
This is the truth. Gu Weiqiang During the few days that Qiang was away, An An upgraded the family's food to more than one level. In the morning, there were egg bread, bacon rice for lunch, and in the evening, there were big steamed meat buns. The homemade meat buns were big in portion, each as big as an adult's fist, with thin skin and lots of meat. When you bite into it, it's all meat. Don't look at Dongdong's small size, he can eat three in one breath, and his belly is bulging.
"Dad, I'll make you a bowl of noodles with chicken soup," An An watched her old father and younger brother quarreling, while she swiftly added a handful of wheat stalks to the stove. The stove, which was about to be extinguished, suddenly started to burn. Soon, some of the warm chicken soup began to bubble. The smell of the steaming meat, combined with winter radish, filled her body with the aroma. All the pores were opened, he felt extremely comfortable. Gu Wei Qiang put Dong Dong down and said, "Go light a fire for your sister."
He lowered his head and drank from the basin of hot water on the washstand. A layer of white mist rose above the basin, and he seemed to be hidden in the misty water vapor. This was the first time that Gu Wei Qiang felt like he was home. It was a good feeling to have someone caring about him.
In the past, even if he was away for a month, Tang Lanzhi would not say a word after he came back. As for the kitchen, the family had not yet been divided, and no one could carefully prepare hot water and steaming hot meals. They were all big pots of rice, which were only opened at a certain time. If his old lady felt sorry for him, she would bury two sweet potatoes in the fire for him. If he was very hungry, he would eat a sweet potato first. How could there be such a big bowl of chicken soup noodles!
The clear yellow chicken soup was topped with carrots and meat. He picked it up with chopsticks and found two golden fried eggs under the bowl. This was a good thing. Even in previous years, during the Chinese New Year, there would not be so much food.
Gu Weiqiang wolfed down a big mouthful and asked, "An An! Where did you get the eggs and chicken from at home?" The chicken was stewed until soft and melted in one bite. The eggs were fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He wanted to bite off his tongue.
Think about it, he has been eating pig food outside these days, cornmeal steamed buns with pickled vegetables, and when he is thirsty, he drinks some cold water or grabs a handful of snow foam to moisten his lips. There is a difference only when there is a comparison! After eating such delicious food, he may not be able to eat cornmeal steamed buns with pickled vegetables.
An An knew her father would ask, so she moved a small stool to sit aside, propped up her head, and counted carefully, "The pheasants were picked from the valley, and the eggs were bought secretly at Aunt Guifang's house for one yuan. She also gave them to us."
She bought twelve in total. Dong Dong was still young and didn't know how many eggs there were at home. Going to Aunt Guifang's house to buy eggs was just a An An nodded with a smile, "I still have a lot of money from the woman last
time, and I
haven't spent much." My father is really good! He is generous, and all the money that passes through her hands is hers.
You have to know that these days, even in a big family, the savings may not be as much as hers. She counted them last time and found that she had seven Guangda Tuanjie coupons, as well as a lot of cloth coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, and of course sugar coupons. These are necessary things to spend money when going to the county town. If you have money but no coupons, you can't buy anything when you go to the county town. Of course, if it's the black market, it's another story.
"What's the matter with going to the mountain valley to pick prey?" Seeing that the daughter said she had money, he didn't mention it. He made up his mind and handed all the money in his pocket to the eldest daughter after dinner.
Before An An could say anything, Dong Dong came to take credit. He brought the silly roe deer and hare that were placed in the small shed in the yard to Gu Wei Qiang, and praised with sparkling eyes, "Dad, these are what my sister brought back from the mountains. My sister is very good." He even opened his arms and gestured, "There are so many! My sister and I ate a lot, and we shared some with Uncle Huazi's family."
Gu Wei Qiang slurped a big mouthful of noodles and saw the noodles in front of him that were as high as his hips. The silly roe deer stood listlessly in front of the table, constantly sticking its nose out, wanting to try the taste of the bowl. He was really stunned for a moment, opened his mouth wide, and asked in disbelief, "Is this silly roe deer also picked from the mountains? And it's alive?" An An nodded with a smile, raised his hand and smoothed the fur on the silly roe deer's body. The silly roe deer wanted to lie down on the ground comfortably, but was slapped lightly by An An and stood up straight immediately.
"Yes, there are a lot of prey in the mountains during heavy snow." As she said this, An An seemed to see a lot of small money waving at her, "Dad, if I sell this silly roe deer, how much can I get for it?"
