"This is insane! Can't I sleep? I want to take a nap, but the neighbors are stewing braised pork!" Wang Ping was lying in bed, unable to sleep well because of the overbearing aroma of braised pork. Not only did her mouth secrete a lot of saliva, but her stomach also started to rumble.
"Wang Zhiqing! I'm so hungry! Let's get up and cook!" Su Yiyi said with a pout while lying in the quilt.
The aroma of the braised pork also made her hungry. Her stomach, which originally didn't feel hungry, was now clamoring for food!
Song Lai Di returned to the house and sat on the kang to open the small package that Gu Qingxu had stuffed into her.
"Song Lai Di, why are you taking the things that the educated youth Su returned?" Wang Ping, who was sitting up and preparing to get up, saw Song Lai Di sitting on the kang counting treasures, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
When Su Yiyi heard this, she couldn't lie down anymore. She jumped up and looked towards Song Lai Di.
When she saw the small package she had just taken out, which contained meat coupons, cold cream, egg cakes and other snacks, and even her favorite red silk flower, her eyes instantly became red.
The vanishing cream was bought by Gu Qingxu when he went to town to comfort Shulan because he was punished for stealing it.
"This was given to me by Gu Zhiqing!" Song Laidie said proudly.
"Are you shameless? These are all Yiyi's things!" Wang Ping couldn't help but say, feeling jealous.
"What does it have to do with you? I think you're just jealous. Her things? They were all given to her by Gu Zhiqing, right? Now she's dating Jiang Beichuan, so are the things she gave back still hers? What? Are you jealous because you saw Gu Zhiqing giving them to me?" Song Lai Di sneered with a cold face.
"Forget it, Wang Zhiqing, these are things I don't want. He can give them to whoever he wants!" Su Yiyi said in a sour tone.
"Haha! Stop being so jealous! I'm giving you back something you don't want! You want it, so why not try to two-timing it? Keep Gu Zhiqing's things and go out with Jiang Zhiqing!" Song Lai Di's sarcastic ridicule made Su Yiyi feel very aggrieved.
Su Yiyi returned Gu Qingxu's things now, and she had nothing to use. Now it was snowing heavily, and without the snow cream, what would she use?
Now, Su Yiyi is extremely regretful. If she had known that this would give Song Lai Di an advantage, she would have just made it clear that she would not return the things.
"Brother! It's time to eat!" After the meal was ready, Qin Yuxian's clear and laughing voice rang out in the yard.
"I'm here!" Qin Yulin responded and came out of the male educated youth's room to serve the meal.
It was too cold in the yard, so they all took the food back inside to eat.
Qin Yulin brought the meal back to the male educated youth's room. Looking at the greasy braised pork and smelling the spicy fried shredded radish, Jiang Beichuan, Li Tao, and Zhang Yang all looked at each other in bewilderment.
The female educated youth who was dining with Jiang Beichuan and Li Tao was still hiding in the house and refused to come out. As for Zhang Yang, Chen Yu and the others went to clean up and prepare to cook, but they couldn't cook for a while.
They could only watch Qin Yulin eat with empty stomachs.
Qin Yulin was not polite either and would never ask them whether they wanted to eat or not. What if they did eat?
"Qin Zhiqing, did you go to town to buy meat?" Zhang Yang licked his lips and couldn't help asking.
"I bought it! Aren't they all braised?" Qin Yulin said, and then he took a bite of meat, a bite of pancake, and a mouthful of porridge. He was eating so comfortably.
"You all had braised food?" Zhang Yang asked with concern.
"They must have all been burned. Why keep them for the New Year?"
"Chinese New Year is almost here! It won't go bad if I keep it for the New Year!"
"No! It's so cold, how can you stay warm if you don't eat enough?"
Qin Yulin ate very quickly, but his eating manners were not ugly. While talking, he finished all the food he brought back.
Jiang Beichuan sat on the kang with a cold face. Although he looked calm on the surface, his stomach was churning. He was cold and hungry and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now, he was thinking in his heart, if Shulan was here, she would definitely be anxious to cook, afraid that she would be hungry.
"Sister Nian! Do you have any more braised pork? The taste is so amazing, I'll never get tired of it!" Qin Yuxian was eating the meat while still thinking about the next meal, afraid that she would not be able to eat it again.
"Yes, there's still enough for two meals. We're freezing in the snow!" Su Nian said with a smile.
"If we can buy more meat, we will go to the guesthouse and ask the chef to cook it!" Sun Yanyan also felt that the meat was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it. She wanted to eat more and could never get enough.
"Then we can only buy more on the black market! If we wait for the meat from the supply and marketing cooperative, it will be too difficult! We don't even know when it will be available!" Su Nian poured cold water on their passionate thoughts.
"On the black market, pork without a ticket costs 1.7 yuan! It's half as expensive!" Sun Yanyan said with a bitter face.
"It's expensive, so what! As long as there's something to eat!" For Qin Yuxian, a foodie, eating is the most important thing.
"I feel like I can't keep up with you guys! In the future, I may not be able to participate too much. I have to keep some money for myself!" Sun Yanyan said a little embarrassedly.
"It's all the same, we don't eat it often!" Su Nian also echoed.
We're going to separate next year anyway, so let's just keep it a secret for now!
"Yuxian, if you want to eat something delicious, you don't have to bring us along. You brothers and sisters can just make whatever you want to eat. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, everyone has different conditions, and we can't do everything in sync!
Besides, we're going to separate next year, so I can't just share everything I've done with everyone, right?" Sun Yanyan said her thoughts frankly.
When we cook and eat together, we are partners and friends. Now everyone is having a hard time, and no one can expect others to take care of them in everything.
"Yeah! Yan Zi is right. Although we are partners, we are also individuals. We can't mix everything together. It depends on our own conditions and abilities!
It doesn’t matter who uses more or less cooking seasonings, even for big items, for example, if you want to eat chicken, duck, fish or meat, but others have limited resources and don’t want to pay or join in the fun, they can just make it and eat it by themselves, and they don’t have to eat together!
Anyway, it's just a winter thing, so let's be free and easy!" Su Nian also nodded in agreement. In fact, this is also good, it can save a lot of worry.
"Yeah! I understand! I can't always eat and drink like this, it will cause a lot of trouble for my brother! In the future, let's try to discuss it together. If you want to eat, we can eat together. If you don't want to eat, I won't eat either! Let's talk about it next year!" Qin Yuxian naturally understood what Sun Yanyan meant.
It means that people always spend money on food, which makes them unable to afford it and have to save money to live. Naturally, I agree with this. Although I like to eat, I can't eat all the time. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, you have to eat it all up.
"Then, Yuxian, please take some time to tell your brother that we should be more frugal in the future!" Sun Yanyan took the dominant position in this matter. After all, she was the one who brought it up first.
Although Su Nian didn't care, he didn't want to be too conspicuous in the educated youth's yard. There were so many bad-intentioned people there. Even if he wasn't afraid, he hated trouble!
