Su Xia arranged for Chen's parents to sit down, and Niuniu washed her hands and climbed onto the stool to sit down.
Su Xia began to serve the dishes, starting with a plate of bacon that was evenly cut in thickness, with alternating fat and lean parts, and a golden and lustrous color.
As soon as the bacon was served, it attracted the attention of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. “So this is what bacon looks like?” It was really eye-opening.
Father and Mother Chen looked at the greasy dish, their throats rolled and they pursed their lips.
Su Xia quickly brought out the remaining egg cakes and chicken soup, and then the steamed buns.
One person served a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of him, then he sat down and started eating.
Seeing that Father Chen didn't move his chopsticks, he said, "Dad, Mom, eat. It's not tasty when it's cold."
Father Chen looked at the table, the best meal he had ever had in his life. I want to say something, sorry.
Mother Chen looked at her husband and saw that he knew everything. "Your father saw so many delicious foods and wanted to drink wine."
"Humph, you old man, you don't know the directions after having two good meals. You're going to be so greedy."
Su Xia then realized that the old man wanted to have some wine!
He stood up and walked to the storage cabinet in the living room, took out a bottle of the same pot head as last time, found two cups, and placed them in front of Chen's father.
"Mom, you should drink a little too. Half a cup is nothing."
Father Chen poured himself half a cup with satisfaction and poured some for his wife.
Mother Chen glared at Father Chen, saying he was so shameless that he asked his daughter-in-law for wine.
The four of them simultaneously grabbed the plate of bacon, and couldn't wait to put it in their mouths and take bites...
....The steamed bacon is soft and chewy, not too dry or greasy. The salty and meaty flavor melts in your mouth, and you swallow your tongue when you eat it.
Su Xia ate it, and it might not be as delicious as in later generations, but it was fresh and delicious. Fortunately, she had enough seasoning.
Chen's parents thought that this was the most delicious meat. They ate several pieces in a row and drank a sip of wine. This was as delicious as the meat of the landlords in the past.
The little cub Niuniu was also very satisfied, "Mom... Mom... This is really delicious, you are so awesome,"
"Don't flatter me. Eat more delicious food. Eat the steamed buns. There is also chicken soup. Don't always eat meat."
As he said this, he broke off half of the bun and gave it to Niu Niu.
꺗Give each of Chen's father and mother a steamed bun.
Then the meal was devoured in no time. Father and Mother Chen finished the wine in their glasses without continuing. The white flour buns were soft and fluffy, the bacon was fatty but not greasy, the eggs were springy, the chicken soup was delicious, and the chicken was soft and rotten.
There was almost nothing left at the end of the meal.
Su Xia ate a steamed bun, a few pieces of bacon, a few spoonfuls of eggs, and drank two bowls of chicken soup. Uh, she said she wanted to keep in shape.
Niu Niu was small and had average fighting power. She had half a steamed bun, a few pieces of meat, a small bowl of eggs, a bowl of chicken soup and a chicken drumstick.
The rest were bought by Chen's father and mother.
There are 10 steamed buns in total, and two are left. This is also the amount of vegetables, otherwise there would be no leftovers from these two steamed buns.
There is no other way. People nowadays are short of oil and water, and everyone eats a lot. In addition, Chen's father and mother are both strong laborers, so naturally they eat a lot.
After dinner, Su Xia didn't ask Chen's mother for help. She asked them to rest on the sofa in the living room. Niuniu accompanied them while she cleaned up quickly.
There's actually not much to clean up, just the CDs, hot water, and a little detergent, and it'll be done quickly.
꺗 took out 10 steamed buns and the remaining two, packed them up, and added a piece of bacon to give to other people in the old house.
Considering the money and meat that Chen Jianguo sent, please take care of his family.
"Mom, take these steamed buns and meat back and let Lao 괗 and the others try them. And this mutton was sent by Jianguo."
"Take what? Leave it for Niuniu to nourish her body. I'm not starving them. Besides, it would be a waste to give them food."
Mother Chen likes her daughter-in-law more and more. She was a little biased at first, but this time she went all the way.
He picked up the mutton and said, "Do you want to keep it? This is a rare thing. How about not taking it back and leaving it all here?"
Su Xia is now speechless towards Chen's mother, and she also feels a little sorry for her first and third brothers.
"Mom, look at Niuniu. She has become so fat, and you, as her mother, can still let her starve."
Besides, there are more left here, and the heads are all here. "
"It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and there's only so much pork in the team. I don't know if you're willing to buy meat."
After hearing this, Chen's mother did not refuse. The family was indeed short of meat. Her parents had tickets and she thought there might be some connections, so she did not ask too many questions.
Father Chen was playing with his granddaughter and ignored the woman's lawsuit.
Su Xia took out a package and a blanket from the room.
"Dad, Mom, you two stay for a while. When it gets dark, take all these away. These are the New Year gifts that Jianguo and I prepared for you."
Mother Chen looked at the package in amazement, and even Father Chen was sobered up from the alcohol.
Mother Chen shivered as she touched the thick blanket and asked, "How much does it weigh? It's so thick!"
"It's 10 jin, 2 meters by 2.3 meters, just enough for you and dad to build a house."
"Is this cotton ticket enough? Actually, we don't need so many. My father and I have enough."
"Forget it. The cups you two have are too hard and too thin. If the kang wasn't warm, you would have become popsicles. The money Jianguo sent plus the money I exchanged for myself is just enough."
"Dad, you carry it back later. I won't send you off."
When Chen's father, carrying a quilt, and Chen's mother, carrying a package and a small package, returned home under the cover of darkness and looked at the kang from their room, they realized what was happening.
The other people in the old house didn't know this. If they knew about it, it would cause a sensation in the whole village.
Mother Chen quickly opened the package and began to sort it out, exclaiming as she did so.
A quilt is used for one and a quilt is used for another.
Each person will receive a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers.
Each person has a pair of cotton shoes.
One bag of malted milk, one bag of brown sugar, and one bag of white sugar.
Two packets of fruit candy.
3 apples and 3 oranges.
Add three pounds of mutton, 12 white flour buns, and a one-pound piece of bacon.
this? ...are all a bit scary!
Mother Chen's voice trembled, "Old man...
This also...
Too many!
How do I do this? ”
Father Chen never thought that this daughter-in-law was really kind to him and his wife.
“What can I do?
The clothes we wear are our own sizes and we keep them for ourselves. We have worked hard for half our lives, so why not enjoy a little?
Except for the steamed buns, you can eat them tomorrow, and add a piece of mutton to make soup. Put the rest away and save them for the New Year. ”
Chen's mother thought it was right, and then she quickly cleaned up the mess.
"With the fabrics sent by my former family, we are all new from the inside out this year,"
"Wife, you have worked so hard these years, taking care of other people's children, and I haven't even been able to give you new clothes to wear."
Father Chen looked at his wife's happy expression, and after drinking a little, he spoke with guilt.
Mother Chen looked at the old man and remembered when she had just gotten married and said that she would live a good life in the future.
It's just that after running such a family for so many years, I almost forgot the sweetness we had back then.
"You shameless old man, without you behind me, I wouldn't have the confidence to control the whole family."
"My dear, please take good care of our old home in the future."
"You say, even though the old man's family doesn't go to school, the most worry-free thing is to be filial.
The remaining two didn't care about anything and moved to her mother's house. ”
Father Chen had no choice, at least there was one better solution.
"The old lady's family has money and tickets so they won't starve. We can save some money so she and her mother won't starve.
The third brother may also come if there is a chance.
It’s no big deal if we just live alone. ”
Mother Chen did not object. She was not so keen on the housekeeper. She thought that if there was no grandson, the sooner the better and the less trouble.
The two chatted until very late before falling asleep. In fact, they were both too full to sleep.
