At noon, Aunt Wang quietly told Lao Wang about this matter:

"When the time comes, you can come with me to get it back with the cart."

Lao Wang holds a cigarette in his mouth:

"Is it reliable? 400 kilograms is not a small amount. Can you really get it?"

Aunt Wang was a little scared after hearing this, but her desire for food overwhelmed her:

"What are you afraid of? This is in our guard booth, not anywhere else."

.......

It was already past ten in the morning when Xu Niannian returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Ruhua with two dark circles under her eyes, smiling sarcastically on the sofa:

"Xu Niannian, I want to see how long you can be happy."

Even if she was engaged to Lu Huaijin, she would have to go to the countryside as an educated youth. I heard that there were many second-rate people in the countryside, and it would be a shame if they ruined her body. Will Lu Huaijin still want her when the time comes?

Xu Niannian glanced at the time and had no time to chat with Xu Ruhua:

"Don't be so mean. I just beat you up yesterday and you're itching again today. Wait until I'm done with it before I beat you again."

When Xu Ruhua thought of the slaps she received, a crack appeared on her face.

Xu Niannian is so annoying, she should go to the countryside earlier.

After Xu Niannian returned to the house, she quickly entered the space, took a shower, and changed into the clothes she wore yesterday. She was too poor, so this was the only piece of clothing she bought newly.

After washing up, he took his backpack and went into the kitchen.

Xu Ruhua was left staring at her back with a cold gaze.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she sat on the pot, cooked mung bean and millet porridge, steamed buns, and killed the rooster in the space and scalded its fur.

When she came back, she guessed that Xu Xiuhong would either not come back for lunch today or would cook a very bad meal, so it would be better for her to prepare the meal.

So on her way back, she went to a state-owned restaurant and bought four meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Anyway, the space already had the first batch of eggs, so the rooster raised in the space was taken out and planned to be killed.

She beat six more eggs into a large steaming bowl and made an egg custard.

The chopped chicken pieces were also made into braised chicken pieces. There was still space for the seasonings made last time, and she was also willing to use more oil.

After a while, the seasoning mixed with the stir-fried chicken pieces gave off an enticing aroma. She then added an appropriate amount of boiling water and waited for it to be stewed and the sauce to collect.

During the waiting period, put the dishes bought from the restaurant on the new plates bought today.

Suddenly I heard the sound of a door opening outside.

Father Xu is back.

Father Xu has been feeling very nervous since last night. He didn't expect that Lu Huaijin really fell in love with his daughter. Are they really going to get engaged?

And Li Qiang beat Xu Ruhua, so he got into trouble too.

He was a little nervous, not knowing whether the factory manager would take revenge on him.

Even though the Lu family was well off, he did not feel happy about the happy event of getting married.

It's totally of no help and might even cause trouble.

His brows were twisted into a knot and he smoked one cigarette after another.

This was the scene Lu Huaijin saw when he arrived. In the room there was only Xu's father surrounded by smoke and the smell of food coming from the kitchen.

Xu Niannian came out to greet them with a smile:

"Here, uncle and aunt, please take a seat first. The meal is ready. I'll serve it. Please take a seat first."

When Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked at each other, they felt that Xu Niannian's life here was indeed not a human life and it was too hard.

Whose daughter is engaged and has to cook for herself? Xu Xiuhong is definitely not a good person.

Xu Xiuhong sneezed three times in the factory, and she didn't know who was scolding her.

Her daughter was beaten yesterday, and now she is asked to cook today. It's impossible.

She just stayed in the factory and refused to go home, which made them very angry.

She has locked up all the food at home, and she is going to make a big fool of herself at Xu Niannian's engagement party today. Then the man will definitely dislike her.

Without the support of her natal family, even after getting married, the attitude of her from the man’s family would not be much better.

If you dare to offend her daughter, just wait and see.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mr. Xu also came forward to greet them.

Lu Huaijin greeted her and walked towards the kitchen:

"I'll serve it."

Xu Niannian poured all the millet porridge from the pot into a bowl:

"Be careful, it's hot. It's freshly made."

"It's okay, I'll take care of the rest, you just serve the dishes."

The millet porridge was even hotter, and Xu Niannian's hands were so delicate that they would probably turn red just by holding it.

Xu Niannian did not refuse from him and put all the dishes on the table. Soon the table was full of delicious food.

Xu Yaozu also came back from school.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, I didn’t care about anything else and just went straight to the table to eat.

After this disturbance, everyone started eating.

Father Xu also took out a bottle of white wine:

"Would you like a drink?"

Father Lu waved his hand:

"Let's drink again next time we have a chance. I have something else to do this afternoon, and I came here in a hurry today."

Xu Yaozu took two bites of the braised pork and thought of his mother:

"Dad, why hasn't my mom come back yet? Where's my sister?"

Xu Ruhua was in the small room on the balcony. When she heard this, her heart trembled. Finally someone remembered her. She had not planned to eat originally.

She hid because she was afraid that others would see her miserable condition, but the fragrance was too overbearing. Her stomach felt like it was burning and she couldn't stop saliva.

Mr. Xu's face froze. Xu Xiuhong must be angry, so she won't come back today.

But Xu Niannian was not the only one who lost face. He was also embarrassed and had no sense of the overall situation.

"Your mother and sister are out for something, you should eat more."

You can’t even fill your mouth with food.

When Xu Ruhua heard this, she was so angry that she almost died. She was very hungry.

Mother Lu picked up a piece of chicken. She had eaten the other dishes at a state-owned restaurant yesterday.

I wanted to try this chicken. When I took a bite, I first tasted the rich sauce and then the soft, smooth and chewy chicken.

"Niannian, did you make this chicken? It's delicious."

Xu Niannian nodded:

"The main thing is that the chickens are freshly killed, so the meat is relatively fresh and you can eat more."

After that, he filled a few spoonfuls of egg custard into a small bowl and handed it to Mother Lu:

"I also made this egg custard. Auntie, you can try it."

Two drops of sesame oil were added to the egg custard when it was out of the pot, and some balsamic vinegar and chopped green onions were sprinkled on it. A small amount of salt water was also added during stewing. The whole stew tasted very chewy and tender.

Sure enough, as soon as Mother Lu tasted it, she gave a thumbs up.

Lu Huaijin also tasted these two dishes. He could tell that the other dishes were probably from a state-owned restaurant.
