In the evening, everyone got off work.
The smell of meat wafted from Xu's house.
"Leizi, you just came back and the smell of meat wafts from your house. What delicious food did you buy for your family?"
Everyone looked at Xu Lei, their eyes full of envy.
He is in the army and receives an allowance every month.
Not only that, there are so many tickets, who wouldn’t be jealous.
Otherwise, that old woman Xu would have tilted her neck upwards and looked at people with her nostrils. Look how trembling she is. The village can hardly accommodate her.
It was her third son Xu Lei who gave her the confidence.
"Ah, I've saved up some meat coupons, just right to give some to my family." Of course Xu Lei wouldn't say that he went up the mountain to hunt pheasants.
Although the captain turned a blind eye, this kind of thing still cannot be brought to the surface.
Everyone will feel uncomfortable after hearing this.
But not everyone has the ability to go up the mountain to hunt pheasants.
If someone reports it secretly, it will be no small matter.
It is a matter that the government will not investigate unless the people report it, so of course we should keep a low profile.
The fourth son of the Xu family rolled his eyes, obviously smelling the meat as well. "Oh, Third Brother, my stomach hurts. I have to go home and use the restroom."
Ran home in a hurry.
"Haha, this fourth brother must be so greedy that his stomach hurts." Everyone laughed.
If they knew that meat was being cooked at home, they would definitely be anxious to go home.
The Xu family members returned home with a lighter heart because they could eat meat.
Xu Laosi ran home and went into the kitchen instead of the restroom. "Mom, let me taste a piece. Let me see if it's cooked."
"You are such a bad person. You are so old, but you still cheat on your wife." Although he said that, his hands did not hesitate.
Old Mrs. Xu took out a piece of boneless chicken breast from the pot and fed it to the fourth child.
“Mmm… smells so good!”
"Eat and get out!"
"Hehe..." The fourth brother ran away.
At this time, all the Xu family members entered the yard.
"Old lady, we are back, let's eat." Mr. Xu was obviously in a good mood today.
Whether adults or children, everyone is very happy to be able to eat meat these days.
I'm really tired of eating bland meals, so today I can finally have some meat.
"Hey, go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon." Pheasant meat doesn't like to be mushy, so Mrs. Xu stewed it for a long time.
Both daughters-in-law went into the kitchen to help. When they smelled the fragrance, they looked eager.
Lunch and dinner at home are prepared by Old Mrs. Xu, while breakfast is prepared by her daughter-in-law.
The old lady takes care of the children, cooks, feeds the chickens, etc. at home.
Naturally, the two daughters-in-law had to go to the fields to earn work points.
Otherwise, what will so many people eat?
Seeing that the door was closed, Xu Lei knocked twice and said, "Yuzhu, it's time for dinner."
"Hey, here you come."
Of course Jiang Yuzhu heard it and got up to open the door.
She wouldn't feel embarrassed to eat just because she had just had a fight with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Jiang Yuzhu coming out and rolled her eyes.
The Xu family always eats while sitting on the kang.
Because there were so many people, there were four small kang tables put together.
The Xu family of more than ten people could barely sit down.
The Xu family consists of the old couple, the eldest son's family of four, the second son's family of four, Xu Lei, Jiang Yuzhu, the fourth son and Xu Meili, a total of fourteen people.
Needless to say, the men sat inside by the window.
Generally, the daughter-in-law has no place to sit, and has to stand on the ground next to the edge of the kang to eat.
One is that there is no space, and the other is that it is convenient to serve the men in the family.
The job of taking something and serving rice and dishes naturally falls to the daughter-in-law who is standing.
Xu Meili was sitting next to Old Lady Xu on the side.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't care about that and sat down directly at the head of the kang, on the side, next to Xu Lei.
As soon as she sat down, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Although the old man frowned, he was afraid that the meal would not be easy to eat, so he opened his mouth directly, "Eat."
Now the only ones left standing were the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the eldest girl and the second girl.
Dabao and Erbao were naturally sitting.
The second sister-in-law looked at her daughter with grievance and took a deep breath.
The sister-in-law kept looking at Jiang Yuzhu, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.
But Jiang Yuzhu just sat there steadily, not affected at all.
"Sister-in-law, please give me more food. I haven't had a proper meal for several days." Jiang Yuzhu said when she saw that her sister-in-law only gave her a little bit.
Just as the old lady was about to explode, the old man coughed lightly.
The old lady had no choice but to give up.
"I'll bring the meat." Old Mrs. Xu kept the chicken tightly covered in the pot for fear that someone would steal it.
She has to share the chicken.
Old Mrs. Xu brought out a large bowl of chicken stewed with potatoes.
There must be more potatoes and less chicken. With so many people, there won’t be enough to eat if we don’t put more potatoes.
Although everyone was very greedy, no one dared to take the first chopstick.
They must be waiting for Old Lady Xu to distribute them.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at everyone with satisfaction.
Under everyone's gaze, they first picked up a few pieces of meat with less bones and more meat for the old man.
Then he picked up a chicken leg and put it in Xu Meili's bowl.
"Thank you, mom!" Xu Meili smiled sweetly.
"Eat quickly."
Then I would run to pick up the other chicken leg.
Jiang Yuzhu was quick-witted and quick-handed. She snatched the chicken leg away before Old Lady Xu and put it in her own bowl.
"Mom, I won't bother you. I can do it myself."
Not only that, while everyone was still not able to react, he quickly scooped out several large pieces of meat and a chicken wing for Xu Lei.
Now, all the meat was divided up.
Dabao saw that the chicken leg that grandma promised him was gone, and he immediately quit, "Woo woo... my chicken leg..."
"Grandma, I want chicken legs!"
"You... Jiang Yuzhu, give the chicken leg back to me. Can you eat it?" No one dared to challenge Mrs. Xu's authority like this.
Jiang Yuzhu stuffed the chicken leg directly into her mouth, "Ah...it smells so good!"
"Mom, why can't I eat?"
"Dad said this chicken is for my health. Since it's for my health, of course I can eat whatever I like."
"Are you talking about Dad?"
"Hey, Dad, you won't go back on your word, will you? You are the head of the family!"
Jiang Yuzhu successfully raised the issue of the status of the old man and the old lady, who has the final say.
"You..." Old Mrs. Xu glanced at the old man's face.
No matter how powerful she is at home, the old man is the boss of the family. How could she dare to say that she has the final say in the family?
"Besides, this chicken was brought back by my man, so I am the most entitled to eat it. It's not right for my sister to have chicken legs while I can only eat potatoes. This is unacceptable no matter where you put it."
"How about... I call everyone over here and let them judge for me?"
