Chen Jianguo brought his two children and a bunch of gifts to give the old house a surprise.
When Chen's mother saw her son, her eyes were filled with tears.
Chen Xiao, Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun were all surrounding Chen Jianguo to inquire about his recent situation.
Chen Youyou specifically asked Erzi where he was working, "Boss, where are you being transferred to now?"
"In Lianyang Province, there is a railway trunk line to the north, but it was not used much before, and some parts are damaged. This time we will mainly repair it comprehensively, and then try to build another one around it."
After hearing this, the people in the room carefully calculated the distance to their homes. This time it was only one province away, so at least it was closer to home.
Mother Chen happily hugged Dabao and said, "It's good to be close to you. This way, you can go home more often, and Dabao and Niuniu can see you more often!"
The others also nodded. For them, it would be better for Chen Jianguo to work around the house, but such opportunities were rare.
Chen Jianguo also wanted to. Ever since he and Su Xia had Dabao, he dreamed of living closer to home, but he might have to wait a few years.
Su Xia at home doesn't know what Chen Jianguo is thinking.
If she knew, she might not care, and she would still live at her own pace.
What is she doing at this time?
I'm making the dough, and this time I'm adding eggs and sugar, and I'm going to fry some fried dough twists and fruit snacks to kill time.
While waiting for the dough to rise, I made half a pot of meat filling, added chopped green onions and various seasonings, and finally added two eggs and some flour.
I also made another pot of shredded carrots, added eggs, flour, chopped green onions and various seasonings.
After these two are done, the dough is also ready.
Use both hands to knead the dough, roll it into long strips, cut it into small pieces, press it with chopsticks, put two pieces together, pick up both sides, and twist them together hard. A simple twist is ready.
Following the same method, most of the dough was prepared, and the rest was to roll it into a large dough sheet, cut it into long strips one finger wide with a kitchen knife, and then cut it into sections.
After everything is done, wash the pot, pour in oil, and heat until it smokes slightly.
Put the small dough in first, and you will immediately hear a "sizzling" sound.
After one minute, start turning the fried dough over. When it turns red, it is done.
After the fried dough twist was done in the same way, Su Xia fried the vegetarian radish meatballs first. A meatball came out by pinching it between the thumb and index finger.
The last meatballs were fried. When they were all done, it was already past lunch time. Seeing that Xiao Zi and the other two hadn't returned, Su Xia wasn't worried.
Besides, every family has two meals a day now, so even if Chen Jianguo has lunch at the old house, Chen's mother will definitely not be stingy with food.
For the fried oil, simply discard the floating objects on top and put them in a separate jar.
This can still be used, there is no problem with cooking or frying.
Su Xia picked up the fried fruit she had made and ate a piece. It was a little hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and had a similar texture to a fried dough twist.
Su Xia’s afternoon tea is 5 pieces of fruit and a cup of Coke.
Taking advantage of her alone time, Su Xia drank Coke and read a novel for a while.
I rested for two hours, heard the noisy sounds outside, and quickly put my things into the space.
After simply cleaning up the surroundings and making sure there were no clues, Su Xia pretended to pick up a piece of fruit and started eating it.
At this time, Chen Jianguo opened the door and came in with his two children.
Niu Niu saw Su Xia eating without even taking off her clothes, and hurried over.
Curiously asked: "Mom, what are you eating? I want it too."
Dabao also ran over and opened his mouth, wanting Su Xia to feed him.
"Mom, ah ah -"
Su Xia had no choice but to pick up a piece, cut it in two, and stuff it into the two little guys' mouths.
"Okay, wash it and eat it yourself. I fried a lot."
At this time, Chen Jianguo also came close to Su Xia.
"Wife, I want to eat too?"
Su Xia glared at him and picked up a piece and stuffed it in roughly.
"They haven't grown up yet. Take them to wash."
"Yes, sir. I will complete the task."
"roll...."
Chen Jianguo took the two noisy children to take a shower.
Leaving behind the furious Su Xia.
A family of four was lying on the sofa, while the two little ones were playing in the fence, eating a fruit at a time.
There was a red coal stove burning next to it, and two pots of green vegetables by the window, one pot of onions and the other pot of leeks.
Chen Jianguo looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. This was the scene he had dreamed of every year in the past year.
The dinner was also very sumptuous, a pot of pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, kelp shreds, and dried beans.
At noon, there was a platter of fried meatballs and vegetarian meatballs.
I also made a plate of scrambled eggs with tomato sauce for the child. Compared with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, one was lumpy and the other was watery.
Su Xia didn't look at the dish with satisfaction, but the two children liked it very much.
As for the staple food, it is a bowl of rice. She also earns money, so it is common for her to eat well.
Chen Jianguo finished two bowls of rice in a row, and only slowed down his eating when he was about to order the third bowl.
Su Xia didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t even finished half a bowl of rice, while others were already having their third bowl.
"Don't you have enough food in your base?"
Why ask such a question? Chen Jianguo looked at her strangely.
But after seeing Su Xia looking at his bowl, he understood what it meant.
"The food in the cafeteria is filling, but it's not as delicious as what you cook, and it doesn't have the meat we have at home."
Niuniu Dabao: "Yes, yes, mommy's cooking is the best..."
"snort---
That's right, don't you see how hard I work to raise pigs for a year, just to eat meat."
Su Xia proudly spoke of the fruits of her labor.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but admire that his wife was indeed a good person. He remembered what Chen's mother said, that even the steel mill in the county drove over to pull in the pigs.
"Wife, will you still support her next year?"
"Yes, if no one helped me to get the piglets, I would raise them now. It is very likely that I can kill them twice next year, so that I can eat meat all the time."
In fact, Su Xia wants to raise one now, but the captain and the others are not going, and she doesn’t know where to get it?
Chen Jianguo thought about it and decided that it would be okay to bring him back now so that he could stay at home by himself and help his wife with some work.
"Okay, give it to me, and I'll go out for a walk tomorrow."
Su Xia looked at him in surprise: "Really? It's almost the New Year. Where can I get it?"
"Really, let's talk about it tomorrow. Even if we can't do it, we can wait until after the New Year."
After Su Xia knew it, she laughed happily.
"Okay, I'll make some jerky later and send it to you. I'll tell you a few of my recipes. You'll definitely want to eat them."
Dabao and Niuniu heard about the dried meat and also clamored for it.
"Mom, I want to eat too!
Mom, I want--"
"Okay, everyone has a share, let's eat quickly!"
Su Xia had no choice but to yell, but she saw that the man was still laughing.
"What are you laughing at? I'll be done with the washing in a minute!"
Chen Jianguo continued laughing, and washed the dishes, cut an apple for his mother and peeled an orange.
He also discovered that Su Xia had stored a lot of good things, so he didn't hesitate to take them out. They could be bought in the county town now.
