Chapter 122 The Unbridled Horse
As for the baby, she doesn't need to worry about him; he's almost finished his second piece.
Helian Jiao glanced at the table, then suddenly jumped off the stool and ran out.
Ma Xiulian thought her granddaughter had gone to the toilet, so she didn't pay any attention. But a little while later, she saw her granddaughter running back with an oil paper bag. "Grandma, I brought you and Grandpa some braised lion's head meatballs. They're soft and easy to chew!"
The last three words were spoken with force and conviction.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian's face instantly lit up with a smile as bright as a sunflower: "We have enough food for today. We can save the lion's head meatballs for tomorrow."
My darling must have eaten a lot of good food at noon today. We'll save the lion's head meatballs for tomorrow noon, have the big meat buns for breakfast, and stew some pheasant soup for dinner. That'll take care of my darling's meals for the day.
"no."
Helian Jiao said with an air of maturity, "It won't be fresh if we eat it tomorrow, we have to eat it now."
After saying that, he quickly unwrapped the oil paper with his chubby little hands, and then the dozen or so members of Old Chen's family all swallowed hard.
Because inside, besides two large meat buns, there was also half a lion's head meatball and two pieces of pastries sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, just looking at them was enough to whet one's appetite.
But why is there only half a lion's head?
But half is not a small amount, after all, state-run restaurants sell lion's head meatballs by the piece, and each one is about the size of a fist.
Looking at the lion's head meatball that she had gnawed on, Helian Jiao was unusually embarrassed and said, "This is what I ate. Grandpa and Grandma, do you mind?"
This half of the lion's head was saved by the little princess from her own food rations.
When Jiang Manyun saw that she hadn't finished eating, she assumed she couldn't eat anymore and, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, wanted to help her finish it. Unexpectedly, the little dumpling said in a serious tone that she wanted to take it back for her grandparents who had bad teeth.
At that moment, she understood why Aunt Chen, who favored sons over daughters, doted on one granddaughter so much.
She's only four years old, and she already cares about the elders in the family. If she were in her shoes, she would also be fond of them and show favoritism.
Jiang Manyun was moved, let alone Grandma Ma Xiulian.
Her eyes welled up as she looked at the varying depths of the small teeth marks on the table, but her mouth was wide open in a grin. "We don't mind at all. How could Grandpa and Grandma possibly mind our precious baby? They'll never mind!"
Chen Dazhu was both touched and moved, but he was a typical man of his time who wasn't good at expressing his feelings. He just silently planned to save more dowry for his granddaughter so that she could hold her head high when she went to her husband's family.
You still need to be careful in choosing a partner. The man must be considerate and hardworking, come from a good family, and have an easy-going mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Ideally, she would marry into the city like the eldest daughter, eat government-supplied grain, and grow up to be as plump and healthy as she is now.
When my eldest daughter comes back next time, I'll mention it to her and tell her to start looking for suitable candidates in a few years.
No one knew that Chen Dazhu, who seemed as steady as a mountain, had his thoughts wandering like a wild horse...
"Sweetie, I don't mind if you've eaten it before, can I have a bite of the lion's head meatball?" Chen Erbao, holding a bowl, jumped up like a monkey to beg for food.
The other children were also drooling with envy, but they could only watch longingly. Firstly, they didn't have his thick skin, and secondly, they weren't as close to the baby as he was.
Among her siblings, Helian Jiao truly loved her second brother the most.
Because besides her second brother being the best fighter, he would also climb trees to steal bird eggs for her to eat, catch loaches for her to eat, pick wild fruits for her to eat, and so on.
