Speaking of the house-warming wine, Zhao Daye was unhappy, because all his family members were there, but his family was the only one not invited. The third brother still does things casually without thinking.
"Third brother, I see you are living well now. Our old house has been renovated for many years. You can also do some repairs for parents, or build a big house for them."
Old man Zhao perked up.
"Where did I get the money? I've spent all my savings to live in this apartment, and I even have to borrow money. I'm nothing like my big brother, who has the money to buy a house in the city and to play with women."
Zhao Da's face suddenly changed, Zhao Ruxin's eyes widened, looking at her father, who was carrying her mother on his back...
"you……"
"What? What did I say wrong?"
Boss Zhao looked at his father guiltily. Zhao Dayong's heart sank to the bottom. Brother, you are a piece of shit!
Old man Zhao remained silent.
He called the third brother's family all day and never thought of taking anything from them. It was not the right time. What he wanted was to win him over, and when the weather got cold, he would tell him that his home was too cold, and the older he got, the more afraid of the cold he became.
As long as he lives here, can the old man be far behind? Anyway, he has no son, so what can he keep?
After a long while, "What your elder brother did was wrong. If he does something wrong, I will teach him a lesson. Let's celebrate the festival today. Don't say unhappy words. Let's be nice and have a happy holiday. Okay?"
Now that the old man has spoken, the others naturally dare not disobey.
Zhao Laosan didn't care. If the boss kept quiet, he would keep quiet too. If he talked too much or started a verbal fight, he would never lose.
The whole family was in the main room, but no one spoke and the atmosphere was depressing and uncomfortable.
“It’s time to eat!”
On festival days, Li was in the kitchen. She didn't dare to serve the food to her sister-in-law. The whole family had experienced her cooking skills, and it would be a pity if they had some rare meat.
She is a bad cook, and like all the women in the village, she stews everything.
The meat was stewed with cabbage. The meat slices were cut very thinly. I only bought half a pound in total. If it was thicker, each person would not be able to get a piece, and the rest would be all cabbage. Pour half a bowl of water into the pot. After the water boils, add the meat slices. Cook until the oil comes out of the meat slices. Then add the cabbage and continue to stew. Finally, add a little coarse salt before serving.
Salt is expensive, so don’t add too much, or your mother-in-law will scold you. One pound of salt can last for two months.
Next is the stewed green beans, which are freshly grown at home, as well as stewed eggplant, green vegetables, and cucumber with sauce, which makes a total of six dishes.
㹏 food is brown rice soup with steamed bread. During the festival, men get two steamed buns, while women and children get one, which is twice as much as on ordinary days.
Li was very satisfied with the meal and felt that she had behaved very well.
She is more virtuous than my sister-in-law.
Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't eat the only boiled vegetables. Just boil it, but if you boil it like this, it's really... disgusting.
There was a table full of food that she wanted to eat and she could eat, except for the unprocessed cucumbers. It is green and fresh, and looks fresh.
The Zhao family is large, so they are divided into two tables, one for men and one for women. The men's table distributed their own food, while the women's table had its food distributed by the head of the family, Mrs. Sun.
Zhao Xiaoyu and her two daughters each got half a bowl of brown rice porridge, a steamed bun, and half a pear.
Sun picked up two pieces of fat meat and stuffed them into her mouth. Her lips were greasy from eating. As soon as she started to use her chopsticks, everyone else's chopsticks plunged into the only dish with meat flavor: Chinese cabbage stewed with meat.
