I went to the county town today, and there was the matter of He Zheng giving me money to buy groceries.
Su Erhe was particularly generous when cooking dinner. She directly cooked a big bowl of braised pork. Of course, the meat was taken out from her space. Although she usually picked up some scraps from the space, she had never cooked so much meat so seriously. A piece of pork belly with fat and lean meat weighed about two pounds and was cut into small square pieces.
She also used the seasoning she got from the grocery store.
It was served on the table in a large bowl. The pieces of meat were attractive in color and greasy, which made people hungry just by looking at them.
When the family sits down to have dinner, they are not really a family because He Zheng is there.
He Zheng has been eating here for a few days. This guy is very outgoing and sits on a bench with Su Xiatian.
Su Erhe thought of the bicycle and took the initiative to put two pieces of braised pork into He Zheng's bowl.
She didn't say anything, just picked up the meat and lowered her head to eat the rice in the bowl.
"Mom!"
She was startled by an excited shout.
He Zheng jumped up like a spring, scaring the Su family to death.
"Brother He Zheng, what are you doing?"
Su Xiatian was so scared that the meat he had just picked up fell to the ground. He bent down to pick it up, blew off the ashes and continued to eat. He was reluctant to throw away such delicious meat.
He Zheng held the bowl excitedly, "Your sister picked up some food for me."
He has been shamelessly eating at the Su family for several days, and Su Erhe has always been indifferent to him. Today, for the first time, he actually picked up some meat for him?
The surprise came so suddenly that He Zheng could hardly believe it.
"Could it be that the dishes my sister picks up are particularly delicious?" Su Xiatian rolled his eyes.
"You are still young, what do you know!"
He Zheng looked at the meat, then looked at Suerhe. With that look, Suerhe felt like he was two pieces of meat.
If I had known that two pieces of meat could excite him this much...
She shouldn't have spoiled him!
Su Erhe decided to ignore this person. He was just an acting genius who liked to perform solo and try his best to add more drama to himself.
Isn’t it.
He Zheng held the bowl and ate all the rice in it, and in the end he didn't touch the two pieces of braised pork.
"He Zheng, why don't you eat those two pieces of meat?" Su's mother asked curiously. Her daughter was really good at cooking. She had never eaten such delicious braised pork before. She couldn't help but eat several pieces.
He Zheng didn't refuse to eat either. He also picked up two pieces for himself, but he didn't touch the two pieces that Suerhe picked up for him.
Su Erhe noticed it, and when he heard what Su's mother said, he also looked at He Zheng.
He Zheng put down his chopsticks and said, "This is the first time Su Erhe has picked up food for me. I can't bear to eat it so quickly!"
Su Erhe almost broke his chopsticks, "The surname He!"
She really didn't want to yell like a shrew every day, but facing such a...
Shameless!
She couldn't help it, she really couldn't help it!
"What are you doing!" He Zheng protected the bowl.
Su Erhe ordered coldly, "Eat the meat."
He Zheng stared at Su Erhe, and seeing her gloomy face, he knew that enough was enough, so he stopped making a fuss and ate both pieces of braised pork.
After finishing eating, he deliberately showed the bottom of the bowl to Su Erhe, "I'm done."
Su Erhe: "..."
Unable to argue anymore, he raised his foot to kick, but He Zheng dodged nimbly, took the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, whistling and looking arrogant. He really deserved a beating.
Su Erhe was so angry that he almost laughed.
To say he is childish is sometimes true, but to say he is mature is because he was a real man when he took off his shoes for her, and he was also very ruthless when he caught the wild boar.
After standing in the main room for a while, Suerhe thought of something and went to the kitchen at the back.
"Take this bowl of meat back to Uncle He and Aunt Wang Xiu."
The shallow bowl of meat was served in separate portions after she cooked it. Two pounds of braised pork was quite a large portion, so she specially served a large portion. It was not to please her future parents-in-law, but because she felt that He Zheng had brought money and food. Although the He family didn't say anything, she still felt bad.
So I reserved this bowl.
He Zheng held the meat and opened his mouth to speak again.
"Shut your mouth, walk out, and go home!"
Knowing that he couldn't say anything nice, Su Erhe blocked his mouth before he could open it.
He Zheng was quite well behaved this time, carrying the meat as he walked away. Every time he met someone along the way, he would say loudly, "Oh, Su Erhe specially cooked the braised pork for my parents."
When they returned to the He family, half the village knew that the Su family had eaten braised pork today and left a bowl for the He family.
Most of the villagers just smiled when they heard this. The two families had a good relationship, and everyone knew it.
Zhu Xing ate pure corn rice and tasteless boiled cabbage. "What a Su Erhe! She said she didn't like Brother He Zheng, but she even roasted meat to please her parents-in-law. How could she be so evil? She's so hateful! When will Brother He Zheng see her true colors?"
…
He Zheng brought half a bowl of braised pork back to the He family. The He family was preparing for dinner because they had to prepare for the autumn harvest. Village chief He went to the commune for a mobilization meeting and came back late.
Wang Xiugang had just prepared the table.
Seeing He Zheng coming back with a bowl, he just asked, "What good thing did you bring back?"
She asked casually. When He Zheng put down the bowl, Wang Xiu looked at the meat in the bowl. It was greasy, evenly cut, and had a good color. "Is this made by Erhe?"
"Yes! She specifically asked me to bring it back to honor you!" He Zheng took the opportunity to praise Su Erhe.
Wang Xiu understood that he was protecting his wife before she even got married, fearing that he would bully her in the future.
Wang Xiu was both angry and amused. "It just so happens that I haven't cooked anything yet. Let your dad and I try Erhe's cooking skills."
"I tried it for you, it's delicious!"
This is not He Zheng bragging, it’s really delicious.
Wang Xiu tasted a piece and found it delicious. She said to Village Chief He, "I remember we once had braised pork at a state-owned restaurant. I thought it was incredibly delicious then. But now I've tried Erhe's, and it's not as good as Erhe's."
He Zheng sat on a small stool, and when he heard this, he showed a proud expression. Then he seemed to think of something and said, "Mom, we have a deal. When Erhe comes home, you can't let her cook for us every meal. Otherwise, you have to agree that she doesn't have to go to work to earn work points."
If he had to go home to cook and serve the family after working, He Zheng would be the first one to disagree.
Wang Xiu didn't respond and looked at her man.
She thought that if Erhe really got married, her family would have some connections, so she would arrange a job for Erhe. It didn't matter how much money she would earn, but she could get a salary every month and wouldn't have to work in the fields.
As for He Zheng, he will take over his father's job and become the village chief in the future.
In this way, even if the two of them cannot become rich, their lives will be much better than many people.
However, Wang Xiu didn't say this for the time being. The main reason was that Erhe was brought back from the city, so it depended on what she thought. He Zheng protected her so much, so she couldn't get involved in it, in case Erhe didn't want to go out to work.
So Wang Xiu didn't mention this.
He Zheng didn't know what his mother was planning. He sat for a while, then ran back into the house and came out with a shoe. "Mom, Erhe's shoes are broken. You have good craftsmanship, so make her a pair of shoes."
Wang Xiu, who was eating meat, raised her eyelids and glanced at the baby coming out of her belly. "Son, you have never been so interested in any girl before. Do you really like this Su Erhe so much?"
He Zheng took a big step back when he heard this and looked at his mother warily, "What, Mom, don't you like her?"
