Chapter 244: Aunt, are you going to meet my uncle-in-law?
Especially for Chen Laiyou, after all, he still works in the fields doing physical work every day, and it will definitely not work if he cannot get enough nutrition.
Shen Anan took advantage of the fact that no one was around and took out ten pounds of pork and a slaughtered chicken from the space to fill the rice jar with fine rice.
Shen Anan first took out about five kilograms of rice, washed it and soaked it. When she came back today, her family would definitely have a meal together, so it was a good opportunity to improve the food.
They have a large family, and if they prepare less, there won’t be enough to eat.
But it’s still early now, so there’s still time to cook later.
Shen Anan walked out of the room and wanted to go back to the room to rest, but found a backpack in the yard, which was filled with half a basket of wild chestnuts.
Wild chestnuts are relatively small. Although half a basket of chestnuts are still in their shells, if they are peeled, they would weigh two or three pounds.
Shen Anan looked at the chestnuts in front of her and thought of the chicken she had just taken out.
Shen Anan thought about the taste of chestnut roast chicken and couldn't help swallowing.
As soon as he said it, Shen Anan pulled out a wooden stick from the firewood pile, poured the chestnuts on the ground and started beating them.
With the encouragement of delicious food, the fatigue I felt on the road just now seemed to disappear.
Just as Shen Anan was busy beating chestnuts, the door of the yard was suddenly pushed open and Wang Sufen walked in carrying a basket of wild vegetables.
"An An, you're back?" Wang Sufen was overjoyed. She put the basket aside and hugged her daughter in her arms.
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
Shen Anan was lying in Wang Sufen's arms and acting coquettishly. Wang Sufen was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, but she quickly tightened her face and snorted.
"I see you're just running around outside!"
"Mom, I will definitely stay at home with you guys from now on, I promise!" Shen Anan raised three fingers and made a swearing gesture.
However, during this period of time, she was basically running around outside. Now that things are basically on track, she also plans to live a happy life lying down in the team.
"An An, you just came back, go back to your room and rest!"
"If you want to eat chestnuts, mom will beat them for you!" Wang Sufen touched her daughter's head, and her heart was as soft as tofu.
“Mom, I’m not tired, I…” Shen Anan smiled and shook her head, but she was interrupted by Wang Sufen’s exclamation when she was halfway through her words.
Wang Sufen seemed to remember something and suddenly looked over with excitement.
"Hey, An An, it's noon now, your father and your brother must be thirsty, hurry up and get the kettle and give them some water."
"By the way, tell your brothers to come to our house for dinner tonight."
Shen Anan instinctively felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, when her father and his men went to the fields, they would bring a bamboo tube of water.
And generally speaking, Wang Sufen would never ask her to run errands like this.
But Shen Anan didn't say anything. She missed her family after not seeing them for so long.
Shen Anan thought about it, went back to the room and took out a bag of mung beans.
In this weather, drinking a bowl of mung bean soup is the only way to feel comfortable!
"Look at you, why are you buying random things again!" Wang Sufen frowned reflexively when she saw mung beans.
"The weather is hot now, and mung bean soup can help relieve the heat! From now on, we can make a pot every day and cool it in the well!" Shen Anan smiled and came forward, shaking Wang Sufen's arm.
"You just spend money recklessly!" Wang Sufen reached out to take the mung beans but didn't say much.
As far as she knew, An An was indeed not short of money. Not to mention her royalties, even Lao Liu would give half of his monthly salary to An An, and there were also wages and work points from the team's brick factory. So since her daughter was filial, she didn't want to discourage her.
Shen Anan wanted to go to the kitchen to make mung bean soup, but was chased away by Wang Sufen.
Wang Sufen looked her up and down for a long time and asked her to go back to her room to change her clothes and tidy up.
Although Shen Anan was puzzled, she still did it.
The main thing is that Wang Sufen will definitely be angry when she sees the soaking rice and chopped chicken in the kitchen.
At times like this, it’s better to be obedient!
Sure enough, before Shen Anan even walked into the room, she heard Wang Sufen's roar, which almost shook the beams of the house.
When Shen Anan changed her clothes, Wang Sufen was pulling the bellows with a dark face.
"Look, you're just wasting food. You soak so much rice at once, can you eat it all?"
"And the rooster, it must have weighed several kilograms, was it all chopped up?"
"Why did I give birth to someone as extravagant as you?"
Wang Sufen's tone was full of disappointment.
"Well, Mom, actually, when I went to the county this time, I drew a few designs for the First Furniture Factory. They gave me 100 yuan for each design and hired me as their part-time designer."
"So, I just want to celebrate with my family!"
Shen Anan decisively changed the subject, and sure enough, when Wang Sufen heard about this, she didn't care about those things at all.
Wang Sufen stood up suddenly and looked at her excitedly.
"Girl, are you telling the truth?"
"One hundred dollars for a design drawing?"
"Of course it's true. After that, we agreed that I would draw no less than three designs for the First Furniture Factory every quarter."
Wang Sufen calculated that each design drawing cost one hundred yuan, and if there were three drawings in a quarter, that would be three hundred yuan, and twelve hundred yuan a year!
Wang Sufen's breathing slowed down. She and Shen Lai had struggled for half their lives, but they had never saved so much money!
Now her daughter can actually earn 1,200 a year?
Wang Sufen's eyes suddenly turned red, she was happy and excited!
"Yes! My daughter is right! Such a big event must be celebrated!" Wang Sufen's face was full of joy, and she completely forgot how distressed she was just now.
Her daughter is capable now, so what's wrong with eating some rice? Even if she eats meat every meal, it means her daughter is promising!
"Well, Mom, in addition to the chicken, I also bought braised pork and pork belly from the state-owned restaurant. Let's eat them together tonight!" Shen Anan took the opportunity to make a request.
Wang Sufen felt so distressed that she cried, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed.
The mung bean soup was ready. Wang Sufen quickly filled it up and handed it to Shen Anan, asking her to go to the field quickly!
If this girl stayed in her kitchen any longer, she might waste a lot of things!
Shen Anan thought about it, heated up the ten meat patties she brought back in the pan, stuffed one into Wang Sufen’s mouth, and put the others into the basket.
He scooped two large spoonfuls of brown sugar from Wang Sufen's sugar jar and put it into the mung bean soup, then walked out of the kitchen under Wang Sufen's glare.
After going out, Shen Anan held Shen Liping's hand and walked towards the field.
The place where Shen Lai and his men were working today was right at the foot of the mountain. If Shen Liping hadn't led the way, she might not have been able to find them.
As they were walking on the road, Shen Liping suddenly spoke in a mysterious voice.
"Aunt, are you going to meet your uncle?"
Shen Anan: …
Where did this uncle-in-law come from? How could she, as the younger sister-in-law, not know?
