Chapter 37: Gutter Oil in the Brain



After the two of them made a fuss for a while, they heard voices from the villagers calling for the end of work.

Old Mrs. Sun and Old Man Sun came back happily and were praised by the villagers.

The whole afternoon I could hear people praising Li Mingqing non-stop.

Who doesn't have a headache, fever, or a cold? Li Mingqing and others in the village take advantage of it, but it's not cheap to get medicine from the clinic in town.

The abacus makes a really loud noise.

Although Li Mingqing studied medicine, he is not a miracle doctor, and he has no medicine for minor illnesses like fever and colds.

"Dad, Mom, Jiaxue has prepared dinner, come and eat here."

"Son, you and your wife can eat by yourselves. Your father and I are not too old to move."

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "It's ready, come in."

After saying that, he went to the door and pulled Old Lady Li in.

Yang Daya stood at the door and said, "Bah, you're just pretending. There's no one here, but you're acting so respectful. It's really disgusting."

Li Mingqing glanced at her and sneered, "Third sister-in-law is sick, it's better to go to the hospital."

"Who are you cursing?"

"You've wronged me. I'm not cursing you, but reminding you. Third brother, I won't delay your cooking."

Turn around and go in and close the door.

Li Jiaxue brought the small pot of stewed chicken to the table and placed seven or eight golden tortillas on the plate.

"Eat chicken!"

The old couple stood there in a daze, not daring to pick up their chopsticks.

There is so much meat in it, it might be a whole chicken.

"Jiaxue, your father and I like to eat potatoes, so just serve us potatoes."

"This much meat is enough for the four of us. Brother Mingqing wants to give you some nourishment. The spring planting season is going to be tough in a few days."

Old man Li accepted it happily, "It's a filial gift from my son."

Li Mingqing looked at the two people's touched expressions and said with a smile: "You raised me up so much, it's only right that you come over for dinner."

"There's no such thing as should or should not. These days, being able to take care of yourself is already good enough."

Old Lady Li sighed, "I can guarantee that no one in the village eats better than we do."

The four of them feasted in the house.

Although the door was closed, the fragrance still escaped through the crack.

The children looked at each other, drooling with greed.

Xiangdong and his companions stood there obediently without any intention of knocking on the door to ask for meat.

"Sister, what does meat taste like?"

"It should be delicious. I don't remember eating meat very often. I only ate it in dumplings during Chinese New Year."

“It smells so good.”

"My uncle and aunt are so nice, let's go in and get something to eat."

"No, remember what grandma said? You have to get permission before you can eat it. Don't forget the time when we secretly drank the white flour porridge, but we got slapped twice."

Several children were whispering to each other, very greedy.

Li Xiangnan, the youngest, was so greedy that he burst into tears, muttering, "I want to eat meat."

Li Danniu consoled him, "In seven or eight months, we'll be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year."

Li Mingqing, who had just arrived at the door, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.

It's amazing that these kids can be so greedy but still hold back from throwing a tantrum. They are much more sensible than his brothers and sisters-in-law.

He opened the door and pretended to be serious and asked, "What are you kids doing here?"

"Uncle, we came here by smell."

Li Xiangdong quickly covered Li Xiangnan's mouth and said, "Uncle, let's go back to the house to eat."

"Wait, your aunt wants to let you in."

Upon hearing this, the little brats looked at Li Mingqing with bright eyes, "Really?"

"It's true."

Several children rushed into the house.

"Grandma, Grandpa, and little aunt."

Sun Jiaxue asked, "Have you eaten?"

There was no answer, only the sound of swallowing, and the children stared at the pot on the table.

"One piece of chicken and two pieces of potatoes each, but I don't have that many bowls and chopsticks here, so you three can have one bowl each."

Li Danniu said obediently: "Aunt, I'm not hungry. Just give it to my brothers and sisters."

"You're so good, but you have to taste your aunt's cooking."

Mrs. Li and Sun Jiaxue served two bowls.

"Your little aunt is kind-hearted. If someone bullies her outside in the future, you must protect her."

Li Mingqing instructed.

"Yes, don't worry, uncle. We will protect aunt."

Sun Jiaxue glanced at Mrs. Li and Old Man Li and said coquettishly, "I am an adult, why do I need the protection of a child?"

"Wife, if you go to pick wild vegetables while I'm at work, let the little brats accompany you. They know the village better than you do."

Old Lady Li then spoke up, "Eat quickly."

The children ate the potatoes first. The soft potatoes soaked in chicken soup melted in their mouths.

He ate the only piece of chicken in small bites, chewing the bones clean.

Old Mrs. Li cleaned up the pots and pans before leaving.

The children went back and showed off that they had just eaten chicken in Li Mingqing's house.

Zhang Lihua smiled and said nothing. Anyway, her children were the ones who got the better deal. If she were eating meat at home, she wouldn't be so generous as to let her children come over to eat it.

Yang Daya said while eating a wild vegetable dumpling, "It's just a little meat. Maybe they don't want it."

Li Mingfang interrupted, "Be careful what you say in front of the children."

"Okay, I won't say anything. I know you two are brothers and sisters."

Li Xiangnan felt full after eating half a wild vegetable dumpling.

After returning home, the old couple said, "My daughter-in-law is so kind. She even gave the meat to us and the children. I have to say that I have a good eye for choosing people."
