Guo Haochen was very happy to hear this, then he walked over and hugged her thighs, raised his head and looked at her: "Mom, you are so kind."
Deng Qingling lowered her head and glanced at him. "It's good that you know. Be obedient and don't always bully your younger siblings. When Mom is free, I'll go to town and buy you some delicious food."
"Where are the delicious foods?" Guo Haoxi heard about delicious foods as soon as he came in. His eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
"As long as you behave yourself, don't cause trouble or fight, you will have delicious food. I will also make each of you a new set of clothes for the New Year." Deng Qingling said as she covered the half-full pot with the lid.
"We promise to be obedient." Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxi said in unison.
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "Okay, go out and look after my sister. I'll call you when I'm done."
After driving the two of them out, Deng Qingling took out two preserved eggs, peeled them, rinsed them with clean water, chopped them up, poured them into the pot, sprinkled a little salt on them and stirred them evenly, and finally sprinkled a little shredded ginger on them. The pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge was ready.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t eaten century egg and lean meat porridge for a long time, but Deng Qingling felt hungry just by smelling the aroma.
Not to mention children, they come just by smelling the food.
Guo Haochen and his two siblings stood at the kitchen door, staring inside eagerly.
"It's still hot. You guys wait outside and I'll serve it to you." After Deng Qingling said that, she took out a large bowl, filled it up, then took out three small bowls and spoons, put them on the tray, and brought it out.
"Everyone sit down, the porridge is hot, don't move." Deng Qingling shouted.
The three brothers and sisters sat in a row waiting to eat.
"Let it cool down before eating." Deng Qingling scooped half a bowl for each of the three children and placed it in front of them, saying.
"I'll blow on it and it will cool down." Guo Haochen said immediately.
"Us too." said the twins.
"Then you guys eat." Deng Qingling sat beside them and watched them eat.
Upon hearing this, the three siblings picked up a spoon, scooped up some porridge, blew on it, and stuffed it into their mouths. Soon, they finished half a bowl of porridge.
"It's really delicious, but there's not enough of it." After saying that, Guo Haochen stuck out his tongue and licked the edge of his lips.
"Yeah, yeah." The twins nodded and agreed with their eldest brother.
"Wait until your grandparents come back before eating." Deng Qingling said.
"Then I'll go find grandpa and grandma and bring them back for some porridge." Guo Haochen said and ran out.
"Slow down, don't run so fast." Deng Qingling shouted loudly.
"knew."
Guo Haochen's voice came from afar.
"Mom, I'm still hungry. Can't we eat first? Just leave some for Grandpa and the others." Guo Haoxi said.
"As long as you are not afraid that your brother will come back and beat you, it will be fine." Deng Qingling said with a smile.
Guo Haoxi pouted and said, "I'd better wait for Grandpa and the others to come back."
Guo Haoxi was afraid that his elder brother would know that he had eaten without waiting for him, and he would definitely be beaten by him.
Although they have to go to work now, there is nothing to do for a period of time before the summer harvest. They just weed and harvest the corn so that they can plant it. Therefore, they finish work quickly during this period. Guo Haochen saw his grandparents when he ran to the end of the village.
"Why are you running so fast?" Liang Xueying said with heartache when she saw her eldest grandson sweating profusely from running.
Guo Haochen saw other people on the street and whispered to them, "Grandpa and Grandma, my mom has cooked dinner. Let's go home quickly. I'm starving."
"Okay, let's go home." Liang Xueying and Guo Youxing each held one of Guo Haochen's hands, and the three of them walked home hand in hand.
The setting sun reflected their backs holding hands, what a warm scene.
As Guo Youxing and his companions reached the gate of the courtyard, Guo Haochen shouted, "Mom, we're back."
As he said that, he let go of his grandparents' hands and ran into the house.
"Dad, Mom, just wash your hands and we can have dinner." Deng Qingling came out of the kitchen and greeted them when she saw them come back.
Liang Xueying was stunned when she saw the lean meat porridge brought out by her daughter-in-law, "You went out today?"
"Yeah, where would the meat come from if we don't go out?" Deng Qingling said casually.
"Okay, wash your hands and eat first. We can talk about it later if there is anything else." Guo Youxing said.
Guo Youxing knew very well about his daughter-in-law. In the past few years, every time his daughter-in-law went out, she would bring back a lot of delicious food.
Some of them may have been bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, but most of them were probably bought on the black market.
I don’t have that many tickets at home, otherwise where would I get the good stuff from?
"Mom, please hurry up. We are hungry!" Guo Haoxi and the others were getting impatient. How could the adults be slower than the children?
"Here it is, here it is." Deng Qingling said as she placed the wooden basin in the middle of the table.
She picked up the bowls and scooped porridge for the children first, then for the adults. As soon as Deng Qingling distributed the chopsticks, Liang Xueying and Guo Youxing sat down.
"Eat quickly." Guo Youxing said quickly.
His eyes almost fell into the bowl when he looked at his grandchildren.
"Yeah, yeah." The three brothers and sisters who had been waiting for a long time picked up the spoons and scooped up the porridge.
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Guo Youxing also picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating, "This porridge is really delicious."
Liang Xueying nodded in agreement, but thought to herself, this porridge is so thick, with rice, pork and eggs, how can it not be delicious.
Soon the whole bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge was finished, and everyone was very satisfied.
After dinner, Deng Qingling cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen.
Guo Youxing asked Liang Xueying to look after the children while he had something to say to his daughter-in-law, and then he went into the kitchen.
"Aqing, don't go to the black market. It would be bad if you got caught. If you need anything, just ask Jianping and the others to buy it for you. I heard from your uncle Qing that the county town has been in chaos recently." Guo Youxing heard from Guo Youqing today that the storm of the Cultural Revolution had not only reached the county town, but also affected the town.
Their house is a little eye-catching. Jianping and his two siblings work in the city, so they have to be careful. Keeping a low profile is the most important thing now.
"Okay, I won't go next time!" Deng Qingling also felt the tense atmosphere in the town when she went out this time. She was afraid that this day would change completely.
