Both Su Ruyi and Li Baozhu understood the meaning behind Zhang's words.
Li Baozhu was at a loss and wanted to smooth things over, but she was not made for this at all.
"We...we'd better eat..."
Li Baozhu said.
Su Ruyi didn't want to change the subject: "Mom, I know our family doesn't have much money anymore. Don't worry, I will find a way to make money."
"You think of a way? What can you think of?"
Mr. Zhang wouldn’t believe it.
"There are many ways. Oh, by the way, I went to the town yesterday and found out about a job for my eldest brother, weaving baskets. There are many people who do it, so you can earn a lot of money."
Su Ruyi suddenly had an idea and blurted out.
Weaving baskets?
Zhang's face turns blue when he mentions this.
Two months after Lu Duotian broke his leg, he said he wanted to learn to weave baskets. It was something he could do and he could get some money by selling it.
He had never done this before, so it was difficult to learn from scratch.
At that time, Su Ruyi also looked at Lu Duotian from side to side and felt that he was a loser who could not get off the ground or climb the mountain.
In order to learn how to weave baskets, Lu Duotian covered the yard with rattan canes, but he didn't produce a finished product for several days.
It's like stepping on Su Ruyi's tail, jumping up and down and cursing, saying that Lu Duotian is useless, doing all these embarrassing things and blocking her from walking, don't do it, it won't work anyway, it's a waste of things!
In the end, Lu Duotian couldn't bear the curse and hid in the house dejectedly. Then he didn't dare to do anything for fear of being scolded again.
Because of this incident, Zhang, together with Liu Cuier and Su Ruyi, almost had a quarrel.
The more they quarreled, the more Lu Duotian became withdrawn.
The matter of weaving baskets and selling them for money was settled.
Now Su Ruyi actually has the nerve to mention it by herself?
Su Ruyi felt that something was wrong with Zhang's expression, and as soon as her mind moved, she also recalled the bad things that the original leader had done.
It has to be said that the original owner is a harmful person.
She quickly smiled and said, "Mom, I'll tell my elder brother about this myself."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her: "If you dare to persuade your elder brother, I will personally bring you a bowl of oil residue. You can eat as much as you want!"
Su Ruyi raised her eyebrows, stood up and went out. She turned around and said, "Mom, I'm going to tell you, go get the oil bowl!"
Li Baozhu stared blankly at Su Ruyi until her back was no longer visible, then turned back and said blankly: "Mother..."
Mrs. Zhang took the last two bites from the bowl into her mouth. This slightly greasy rice was different and so fragrant!
"Let her speak. If she can, I'll give her all the oil residue. She originally bought it."
She counted her money, and there was not a penny missing.
Besides, she also has a headache about her son. She still wants to die. How can she do this?
If Su Ruyi could really talk things through to him, let him live in peace of mind, earn some money for the family, and do two great things at once, then she wouldn't feel bad about the oil residue.
Li Baozhu's face turned red and she said weakly: "Mom, I don't feel sorry for my sister and brother eating the oil residue, I think it's her turn to eat it!...Mom, my brother and sister are different from before!"
Previously, if Zhang had spoken like this, Su Ruyi would have jumped up and pointed at her nose and cursed.
Today...she has such a good temper today!
Li Baozhu was very timid. Every time she saw or heard Su Ruyi having a conflict with other people in the family, her heart would pound.
She would rather eat less and work more, as long as there is no noise at home.
It would be great if everyone could talk nicely!
"I also think Third Aunt has changed!"
Dalang also said quickly.
"What do children know!" Mrs. Zhang scolded smoothly.
Dalang pursed his lips and muttered unconvincedly: "It's just changed!"
I haven’t scolded him for many days!
Especially last night, Dalang didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the third aunt was not so bad.
"Eat yours!"
Mrs. Zhang put down the empty bowl, stood up and walked to the door to look at her eldest son's room.
In just a moment, Su Ruyi came out of the room with a smile on her face.
Zhang felt a little awake.
Because there were mud puddles in the yard, Su Ruyi ran over jumping like a lively girl.
"Mom, where's the oil residue? Brother and I have agreed!"
Su Ruyi wiped the raindrops from her hair and ran around all morning without even taking a bite of food into her mouth.
Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment, then turned to ask Li Baozhu to get the oil bowl from her room.
Li Baozhu was a little surprised, and her mother-in-law also acted strangely. She didn't go to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's house to ask about the situation first, so she believed the three younger siblings.
This is the first time.
"Hey, I'll get it right now."
When Li Baozhu came back with the bowl of oil residue, Su Ruyi and the five children were the only ones left in the main room.
Needless to say, my mother-in-law must have gone to my eldest brother's house.
It's true that the children usually eat in a hurry, but today they are slower than the other. Only the eggs are finished.
But Dan'er refused to leave the table even after he finished eating. His brothers and sisters hadn't finished yet, so he looked at the bits of paste in their bowls.
Li Baozhu was a little embarrassed. He put the oil residue bowl in front of Su Ruyi and said to the little ones:
"Eat quickly, why are you taking so long today?"
Except for Dan'er, the other four quickly buried their faces in the bowl, then secretly raised their eyelids to look at the bowl. The oil residue in the bowl was golden and very attractive...
They just heard the third aunt say that they wanted to eat the oil residue... They thought they could eat some of it until the end...
Li Baozhu naturally knew what the children were thinking, so he could only urge them, but couldn't say much.
Then he said: "Brothers and sisters, you eat first. After eating, just let the cow be taken to the kitchen. I, I will also go to my sister-in-law's house to have a look."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Su Ruyi.
"Second sister-in-law!"
Su Ruyi picked a large piece of oil residue from the deep-fried bowl and brought it to her mouth.
Before Li Baozhu could react, he took the oil residue into his mouth.
"this……"
She blushed.
"Wait a moment and bring the bowl of oil to your elder brother and sister-in-law."
As he said that, he quickly put a piece of oil residue in the bowls of the five children with his chopsticks, and finally put a piece in his own bowl.
A small piece of oil residue can't satisfy her craving at all, but she also knows the current situation at home. The lard she bought with great difficulty yesterday only produced such a small amount of oil residue, which is very precious.
A small piece of oil residue is enough to make everyone feel happy.
Putting the bowl into Li Baozhu's hand: "Second sister-in-law, go quickly!"
Li Baozhu responded, took the bowl and ran to the eldest brother's room.
Su Ruyi used chopsticks to press the oil residue into the paste and heat it up.
Dan'er had already put the oil residue into his mouth and chewed it, dancing around with joy.
The other four children put the oil residue next to the bowl, and quickly finished the rice until they were mushy before putting the oil residue into their mouths.
He looked so satisfied, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
"Eat quickly and go catch the chicken after you finish eating."
Su Ruyi said.
"Third Aunt, why are you catching chickens?"
Dalang mustered up the courage to take the initiative to ask his third aunt.
"Your grandma said last night that she would kill a chicken to replenish your father's health today."
