Ye Zhiqiu returned home with the eggplant box and spring roll ingredients, only to find that the gate was locked again!
After he had breakfast in the morning, he watched Wang Fugui teach Ye Bailu. It was not until after nine o'clock that he rode his bicycle out.
After staying outside for an hour and seeing it was after ten o'clock, he put out the things he had prepared in the space and rode his bike back home.
In the end, no one knew where Wang Fugui took Ye Bailu. Ye Zhiqiu didn't think much about it. He took the key to open the door, parked his bicycle, took the things he brought back into the kitchen and started to get busy.
Wang Xiaolan only asked for twenty eggplant boxes to be prepared. Ye Zhiqiu thought of bringing a lunch box of eggplant boxes and a lunch box of spring rolls, and then going to Feng Xiaomei's house to share them!
At four o'clock, there weren't many places to go! So Ye Zhiqiu decided to accompany Feng Xiaomei home and chat with her at her house to improve their relationship, which would be better than wandering around aimlessly.
After all the hard work, everything was finally ready. Ye Zhiqiu lit the firewood and prepared to start frying.
When there is no gas, firewood is still better than coal. Although honeycomb coal is now being promoted to replace coal balls, the pungent smell of honeycomb coal is really not as suitable as firewood!
Ye Zhiqiu was planning to take some time to go outside the city and get some firewood!
The best option was to get firewood from other places. Although there were trees outside the city, they were difficult to collect. If you went to the mountains and forests outside the city and dried a few large trees, it would be enough to cook and boil water for a long time.
They were frying all kinds of food. When Wang Xiaolan came back from get off work, she saw so many eggplant boxes and even fried spring rolls. She took one and started eating.
"Boss, your fried eggplant boxes are so delicious! I really don't want to treat them to something so delicious! What if they get obsessed with the taste and keep asking me to make you fried eggplant boxes?"
Ye Zhiqiu had almost finished frying all the spring rolls by this time, with only the last spring roll left in the pot. He took out the unburned firewood and poked it into the ashes.
While smiling, he said: "Just make it cold! Mom, do you think I'm stupid? Oil is so precious, and frying eggplant boxes consumes so much oil, who would be so shameless as to ask you to make something else?"
If I hadn't fried it to share with Feng Xiaomei, I wouldn't have bothered making this! The oil consumption is a minor issue. The main issue is that it requires slow frying over low heat and re-frying. It's just too much work!
Wang Xiaolan asked curiously, "Son, why don't you buy a chicken and fry two chicken drumsticks for Xiaomei? They're so precious! Even if you bring nothing else but a fried chicken drumstick to her, she'll be looking forward to seeing you every day!"
"Oh, forget it. I just want to make something big so that everyone in my family can enjoy it. I can't just focus on taking pictures of Feng Xiaomei and forget about my family, right?"
"My son is the best. He doesn't forget his mother after getting a wife!"
"Hey, can't I just think about feeding my little sister? You're too happy too early!"
While chatting and laughing, Wang Xiaolan finished the eggplant box in her hand, ate another spring roll, and ran to get the newspaper to pack the eggplant box.
At this time, Wang Fugui came back with Ye Bailu. It turned out that the old man and the child had gone out to buy something. Ye Bailu's small school bag was bulging, and no one knew what Wang Fugui bought for her.
Speaking of which, Wang Fugui was really willing to spend money on the girl. He bought her new shoes, new clothes, new hairbands, new exercise books, new books, new toys, and everything!
Ye Zhiqiu estimated that Wang Fugui had spent at least seventy or eighty yuan on Ye Bailu!
Wang Xiaolan has said it many times, but Wang Fugui always sticks his neck out and says, "I bought it for her with my own money, why should you feel sorry for me?"
Just one sentence was enough to shut down everyone's persuasion. What they said made sense. He wanted to buy it for Ye Bailu, and it was his own money he was willing to spend. What did it have to do with them?
Wang Xiaolan asked the two of them to wash their hands, and then they took the eggplant box and started eating.
"I'm going back to the neighborhood office to get lunch. There's porridge and cabbage for lunch, which should be enough for you."
"Go and do your work, my daughter. Your eldest grandson is at home, so you don't need to worry about meals."
"Godfather, why do I have a feeling that you dislike the food I cook..."
"Nothing, just go to the street office..."
Wang Xiaolan left half-believingly. Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "Grandpa, you weren't very good today. My mom almost heard you complaining about her cooking!"
Wang Fugui said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. My daughter's cooking is so delicious! There are so many people in the family, and her cooking is the second best. What else can I say about this ranking?"
Ye Zhiqiu kicked Xiao Hei away and asked curiously, "Where did you go? Why did you take Xiao Hei out with you?"
Ye Bailu said happily while eating an eggplant box: "Brother, grandpa took Xiao Hei and me on a big car to buy picture books. He bought so many!"
Wang Fugui explained with a smile, "I took the girl to the Xinhua Bookstore in Dongsi and bought some elementary school textbooks for her to study.
This girl can't walk anymore because she sees comic books, so I bought her some to read, which can also make her more interested in learning to read. "
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "If you take the bus, can Xiao Hei get on too?"
"You're so ignorant! Why can't Xiao Hei get on the bus? I've even seen people taking piglets in cages on the bus! This bus is meant to serve the people and make travel more convenient for everyone. How can they not allow dogs on the bus?"
Ye Zhiqiu really knew nothing about this. In later generations, even guide dogs were not allowed to board buses, let alone pigs...
However, in this era, many things are customary and there are no strict regulations prohibiting them, so it is not surprising.
Ye Zhiqiu brought the drained eggplant box and spring rolls back to the living room. Ye Bailu, the little greedy cat, filled a bowl of porridge and started drinking from the eggplant box.
"I'm back!"
Ye Wubing's voice rang out, and soon he ran back to the living room. After greeting a few people, he hung up his schoolbag. Seeing the eggplant box and spring rolls on the table, he suddenly became happy and reached out to grab one to eat.
Ye Zhiqiu slapped his hand away and asked coldly, "Second brother, are you itching for trouble? Do you want me to make you some fried pork butt with a feather duster?"
How many times have I told you to wash your hands after eating and using the toilet! You're not a fool, why don't you remember anything?"
Ye Wubing retracted his hand and said with a wry smile, "How could that be? I just haven't eaten eggplant boxes in a long time, and I forgot to wash my hands when I saw them. Don't be angry, brother. I'll go wash my hands right away and make sure they're clean before eating!"
This guy only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. It is really difficult for him to develop the habit of hygiene.
It’s not that Ye Zhiqiu is strict with him, but in this era, people don’t pay attention to hygiene and it’s easy to get various diseases. That’s no joke!
You know, when he was in the countryside, this guy just drank raw water all day and didn't listen at all! After being beaten a few times, he finally followed Ye Zhiqiu's rules.
