There was ready-made bacon and eggs at home, as well as a big carp, and together with the vegetables brought by Song Shouye, a large table was filled with a combination of meat and vegetables.
"Grandma, this is not like your style!"
Liu Guixiang was used to being frugal. If Song Shouye had not returned today after being missing for many years, she would not know how long she would have to pickle the wild boar meat before she would be willing to eat it.
"What? Is the eldest grandson going to compete for favor?"
Good things have been happening one after another recently, and Liu Guixiang also rarely joked with her grandson.
"Grandma Guixiang is the best to me."
Song Shouye looked at Zhang Shuguang proudly, feeling very proud.
"Okay, we all like you, okay? Come and try grandma and your second aunt's cooking!"
Zhang Shuguang picked up some food for Song Shouye.
"Brother, you should eat quickly too."
Noticing the glint of envy in his brother's eyes, Zhang Shuguang quickly put another piece of meat into his brother's bowl.
"Brother, there is Panpan, there is Panpan."
The little girl on the side saw that she was being ignored, and quickly opened her mouth wide at her brother.
"You are everywhere. Can't I feed you?"
As she said that, Su Hong was about to feed her little girl.
"No, the eldest brother picked up some food for the Taoist long-haired brother, and also picked up some food for the second brother, the only one missing is Panpan."
The little girl shook her head and rejected the dish that Su Hong picked up, and then she opened her mouth stubbornly towards Zhang Shuguang.
"Okay, big brother, feed Panpan."
The little girl didn't smile with satisfaction until she put the egg that Zhang Shuguang picked up into her mouth.
"I'm happy today, Xiaoguang. Go get the remaining bottle of Moutai and let's have a drink together, three of us."
The old man originally planned to keep the remaining bottle of Moutai for the New Year to drink with his eldest son-in-law. But today Song Shouye found it again, and the old man no longer cared about it.
"Okay, I'll go to work in a couple of days and buy you a few more bottles."
Song Shouye took a sip of wine and frowned.
"Uncle Steward, this wine is too strong and not tasty. Next time I come, I'll bring you a jar of medicinal wine brewed by my senior brother. It has a rich aroma and is good for your health."
Song Shouye was used to drinking medicinal and tonic wines in the mountains, and was not used to this kind of industrial brewing.
"Xiao Guangzi, where is my second uncle? And where is my eldest uncle's family?"
At this time, Song Shouye realized that there seemed to be many people missing from the housekeeper's house.
He remembered that ten years ago, the housekeeper's grandfather's family was very large and it was very lively every day.
"Your second uncle went to the army, and your eldest uncle's family separated and went out to live on their own."
Zhang Shuguang answered calmly and did not say anything bad about Zhang Xiangdong's family.
It’s not that he was giving face to Zhang Xiangdong’s family, but Zhang Shuguang really didn’t care about them at all, just like strangers.
There is good wine and delicious food in the Zhang family's old house, and the atmosphere is warm. However, the uncle Zhang Xiangdong and his family mentioned by Song Shouye seem a little gloomy at the moment.
Zhang Chenguang and Zhang Shengguang were lying on the bed groaning, while Zhang Xiangdong and his wife were sitting there sighing.
"Mom, my second brother and I are still patients. It's okay if you don't send us to the hospital, but we should at least improve our living standards a little bit, right? How can you give patients wild vegetable porridge? We don't even have steamed bread?"
Zhang Shengguang was kicked in the butt by Zhang Shuguang and had to lie on the bed for several days.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Where does your family get food for you to eat steamed bread? It's good enough to have a mouthful of wild vegetable porridge to keep you from starving to death."
Zhang Xiangdong was a little anxious because of the noise made by his third son, so his tone of voice was naturally not good.
"All the food at home was given to my eldest brother. I used to think that if he became a worker, our future would be better. Who knew that he couldn't even support himself? So I asked my eldest brother to come back and earn work points."
Zhang Chenguang's face was pale. His internal organs were damaged by the kick from Zhang Shuguang. He vomited everything he ate and lost a lot of weight in just three days.
"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Your eldest brother's difficulties are temporary. We are helping him now. When he gets a permanent job in the future, will he not remember our kindness?
You are all his brothers. If he is doing well, how can he not miss you?"
Zhang Xuguang is Bai Yanniang's eldest son. He has been a good student since childhood. Now he has graduated from high school and found a temporary job in a machinery factory. He is definitely Bai Yanniang's pride.
In fact, Zhangzhuang is only ten miles away from the county town, so Zhang Xuguang can live at home, but he will have to sacrifice some rest time.
But Zhang Xuguang has been in school since he was a child and has basically never suffered any hardship, so he doesn't want to go through the hassle of going back and forth.
Moreover, the food at home was not good. Every day we had only bland soup. Being able to eat a steamed cornbread was considered an improvement in our lives.
Zhang Xuguang's personality is like Zhang Xiangdong's. He is a heartless and ungrateful person, a complete ungrateful person.
Then he started to make big promises to his family, asking them to support his work and say that when he became successful in the future, he would definitely be filial to his parents and help his brothers.
So Zhang Xuguang rented a house in the city and used his salary to buy food for himself.
"Mom, open the door, I'm back."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Boss, did I hear it wrongly? Why do I feel like it was Xu Guang knocking on the door?"
Bai Yanniang thought she was hallucinating because she missed her eldest son too much.
"It's Xuguang."
Zhang Xiangdong stood up and went out to open the door for his eldest son.
"My dear, why did you come back so suddenly? Have you eaten? If not, I will make it for you."
As soon as Bai Yanniang saw her eldest son, she immediately acted like a loving mother, which was completely different from how she treated her second and third sons.
"Mom, don't worry about eating yet, I have something important to ask you."
