Chen Yuehua glared at Su Mujin. "Is this the point? The point is that you need to know how to balance work and rest!"
Su Mujin and Song Muxue looked at each other, nodded vigorously, and said in unison, "Mom, we got it!"
Song Huaian watched with a smile on his face, "But they won't change."
When these words were spoken, Chen Yuehua was so angry that she laughed.
Early in the morning, the atmosphere here was extremely cheerful.
This made Xu Zhaoying, who had just entered the yard, feel very uncomfortable and he wanted to turn around and leave.
But in the end, she still stood there, took a deep breath, and walked into the living room, shouting at the same time, "Sister-in-law!"
Chen Yuehua was puzzled when she heard Xu Zhaoying's voice, but she still went outside. "She's at home, it's my sister-in-law. What's that?"
Xu Zhaoying smiled widely. "It's nothing big. I just wanted to borrow a few eggs. We don't have enough eggs at home. I'll go buy some this morning and return them to you when I get back."
"Just a few eggs, and you still say you won't return them! Just wait, I'll take them to you right away."
Chen Yuehua quickly entered the kitchen, filled a large bowl with six eggs, and gave it to Xu Zhaoying.
Xu Zhaoying thanked him again and then left with the bowl.
Song Muxue looked around curiously, and only after she could no longer see Xu Zhaoying did she ask in confusion, "Mom, Second Aunt is such a strong-willed person, why would she ask you to borrow eggs?"
Ever since Song Muxue could remember, Xu Zhaoying was a very strong-willed person who wanted to compete with Chen Yuehua in everything and would never admit defeat.
The situation of borrowing eggs has never happened in the past ten years, otherwise Song Muxue would not be so surprised.
Chen Yuehua sighed, "She didn't want to borrow it either, but there's probably nothing she can do about it. You guys are either in school or reading every day, so you don't know what's going on next door these past two months. Ever since Liancheng's wife got pregnant, she's been very picky about her food, craving this and that. She has to have two eggs every morning."
She was pregnant, so this was only natural, and no one complained. But Manman wasn't happy about it, saying they couldn't be discriminated against. She said she and Chen Zhigang were still young and growing, so they needed to eat well and nourish themselves, including two eggs each every morning.
Your grandfather is old, so he has to eat two eggs in the morning. Your second uncle and Liancheng have to eat them too. That’s twelve eggs in total for the whole morning.”
Originally, Chen Yuehua was full of emotion, but in the end, she even laughed at herself.
Song Muxue wanted to laugh, but was also shocked. "What kind of family is that? They have to eat twelve eggs in the morning! That means they have to eat... 360 eggs in a month? Even if I add up the egg coupons of my grandfather, second uncle, and brother Liancheng, it still wouldn't be enough!"
"It's not enough," Chen Yuehua said, "so we have to exchange with other people in the compound. We can't get all of it, so some of it has been exchanged."
She also heard that Xu Zhaoying went to the black market to buy eggs.
But Chen Yuehua didn't say these.
Song Muxue was stunned after hearing this and felt that she had learned something new.
"If we eat the same amount of eggs, then does that mean everything else should be the same too?" Su Mujin asked with a smile.
"Anything else?" Song Muxue was puzzled. "Anything else?"
"There are so many other things," Chen Yuehua said. "A bowl of rice and a piece of meat—they all have to be eaten equally! Liancheng's wife is almost four months pregnant now. She says her belly is getting bigger and her old clothes can't fit her anymore, so she wants to buy new clothes. If she wants to buy some, Manman will definitely follow suit. I guess your second aunt will come to borrow some cloth coupons."
When Su Mujin heard this, her eyebrows curved into a smile, and she felt sympathy for Xu Zhaoying for a moment.
Su Moli and Song Manman are not just daughter-in-law and daughter, they are simply Xu Zhaoying's two ancestors!
The few of them chatted without delaying their meal.
After breakfast, those who had to go to work went to work, those who had to go to school went to school, and they left the house together.
As soon as Su Mujin went out on her bike, she ran into Su Moli.
Su Moli straightened her waist, and her belly, which was less than four months pregnant, became particularly obvious.
"Su Mujin, Su Tianci is getting married, are you going?"
