"Sister-in-law, what did you make? Why does it smell so good?" Hou Liang couldn't help it and went to the kitchen.
"Because it will take too long, my sister-in-law will make you some bacon rice, some cold dishes, and some soup."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, sister-in-law will prepare a big dinner for you tonight and make a few more dishes." It was already past eleven o'clock when she started cooking. Jiang Yuzhu didn't have time to cook many dishes, and she didn't prepare any ingredients.
"Sister-in-law, this is rich enough. Don't bother with it tonight. Just have some noodles."
Hou Liang and Zhao Yi planned to rest for a night before leaving.
"That won't do. I'll make you dumplings tomorrow. Now that you're at my sister-in-law's place, I can't let you go hungry."
"Hehe, thank you, sister-in-law." Hou Liang has no parents, and his uncles and aunts at home don't like him.
He chose to join the army because he had no other options. At least he wouldn't starve to death.
He was also lucky. The recruiter felt sorry for him because he had lost his parents and no one in his family was willing to take him in, so he took him away.
Many years have passed, and Hou Liang has become free and undisciplined, but he still feels the warmth of home in Jiang Yuzhu.
"Go set the table. We'll be able to eat in three to five minutes."
"Okay." Hou Liang went to put the table away quickly.
Knock knock.
There was a knock at the door.
"I'm coming." Jiang Yuzhu washed her hands and went to open the door.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
It was an unfamiliar old lady. Jiang Yuzhu hadn't stayed long the last time she came. Besides, she was really tired after taking care of Xu Lei for such a long time.
So during that period, Jiang Yuzhu stayed at home and refused to see any guests.
I am not familiar with the family compound.
Xu Lei also knew that his wife was very tired, so he was naturally happy to let her sleep until noon to get more sleep.
"Oh, you are so pretty. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful girl." Old Mrs. Ma was also shocked when she saw Jiang Yuzhu's appearance.
It’s just as my daughter-in-law said, she looks like a vixen.
But the old lady wouldn't show it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."
"But, I just got here today and I'm not familiar with the family compound. You are..." Jiang Yuzhu had to find out whose family you were from.
I always feel that the way this old lady looks at people makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, look at my brain. I am the mother of Battalion Commander Ma over there. Battalion Commander Ma, you know that my son and your husband are colleagues, and they have a very good relationship."
The old lady gave an introduction.
"Ah..." Jiang Yuzhu seemed to understand.
She’s the daughter-in-law of the family I wanted to exchange houses with last time.
Jiang Yuzhu immediately knew how to deal with it.
This is not a family, they don't belong together, the daughter-in-law is like that, and this old woman...
Jiang Yuzhu immediately became alert in her heart.
No one comes here for no reason. The old lady won't come here for no reason.
"It's Aunt Ma. Why are you here...is there something?" Jiang Yuzhu asked with a smile.
"Ahem... well, I don't know what you cooked at home, but my grandson started crying when he smelled it. I figured we're neighbors, and my son and your husband are both battalion commanders, so we're on good terms, so I came over to ask. Did I interrupt your meal?"
The old lady naturally didn't say it explicitly, but her meaning was very clear: my grandson wants to eat the delicious food you cook.
My son and your husband are colleagues, they are at the same level and have a good relationship. You can't refuse him.
"Auntie Ma, you said you didn't bother me, but... I haven't finished cooking yet. It's going to take quite a while, and besides... I have guests coming to my house, so I can't entertain you. So, I'll write down the ingredients and method for you. Just follow this and you won't go wrong."
After saying that, Jiang Yuzhu closed the door.
The old lady was also confused by Jiang Yuzhu. She... is this what she meant?
Jiang Yuzhu then went to find paper and pen and wrote down the ingredients and steps.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lei heard the noise and wanted to go out.
Jiang Yuzhu held him down and said, "Don't go. I'll do it. You all stay in the room."
Jiang Yuzhu opened the door with a smile, "Auntie Ma, this is for you. Go back and tell your sister-in-law not to be reluctant to add oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings. It tastes better if you add more. Otherwise, it won't taste the same."
Although the old lady could not recognize many words, she could still recognize the things she came into contact with in daily life, such as bacon, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes. Other things were easy to recognize, but this bacon... where could her family get it?
Not to mention the question of whether she was reluctant to use the seasoning, there was no meat at home, so where could she buy meat right now?
It has to be bacon, you know, bacon is very expensive.
Ordinary pork is only 70 cents per pound, while bacon costs several yuan, and you need so many meat coupons. The key is that it is difficult to buy it even if you have money and coupons.
The old lady's eye bags moved, and she looked at Jiang Yuzhu with a forced smile, "Oh, no wonder it smells so good, they are all good things, but this... bacon..."
"Auntie Ma, I'm still cooking in the pot. I won't talk to you anymore. Go home and try it."
Jiang Yuzhu ignored the old lady's words and quickly closed the door.
Don't give the old lady a chance to refute.
"you……"
The old lady was turned away.
I returned home feeling depressed.
"Mom...how..."
"Here you go, do as I say." The old lady angrily handed the note to her daughter-in-law and went to bed.
"Grandma, did you bring back any delicious food?" Ma Zhuang shook the old lady's arm.
Every time grandma takes action, she brings him back something delicious.
