The children in the neighbor's house were very envious.
Although his parents are both teachers, they can only eat porridge and rough noodles every day, and they can't even put aside oil.
But their family has meat to eat every day.
No matter how much it is, there will always be an oily smell in the stomach.
Jiang Li was very proud, and because he had a father like Jiang Hai, he became the strongest boy in the entire street nearby. No one would dare to provoke the Jiang family.
No meat today.
The most unhappy person was Jiang Li.
He ate the bean sprouts in front of him in small bites. There was no salt at all and it was a little sour and bitter. He didn't know how long his mother had hidden it before taking it out and frying it.
"Mom, when will dad come back?"
"Your dad isn't coming back!"
Shen Yan was also angry, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Because she knew Jiang Hai had come back a long time ago, but he still refused to come to the backyard.
Thinking like this, after finishing the meal without any taste, Shen Yan went straight to the front room. When she opened the door, she saw Jiang Hai lying on the bed with his big belly and snoring.
"You're still sleeping!"
Jiang Hai was woken up by a slap on the man.
"What are you doing?"
"Where's the lunch box?"
"On the table."
"It's empty inside! Where's the stuff inside!"
Jiang Hai felt a little guilty, but when he thought about how Shen Yan treated Jiang today, he became cold again.
"Did not bring!"
"Did you not bring it with you or did you and your daughter eat it all by themselves? How could you be so heartless to eat alone when there are so many mouths in a big family!"
Eat alone, eat alone, Jiang Hai hates these words the most right now.
"You have no idea who is eating alone? Or do you really want me to make everything clear?"
Jiang Hai hadn't blamed her for turning her elbows outward, but now she was quarreling with him over a meal.
After a moment of silence, sobs could be heard in the room.
Shen Yan started wiping away tears again, crying so much that she felt aggrieved.
“I worked hard to raise four children by myself, and I gave you three boys, and each one I raised is stronger than the last!
Now that your family is flourishing and spreading, when it comes to our Shen family, there is only one male like my brother left! Now only two Miaomiao, Apin and Yaoyao, are left. What if I treat them better?
Just allow me to work as a cow and horse for your Jiang family, and don't allow me to support the only child of our Shen family! Jiang Hai, see if you are still a human being!
Do you want our Shen family to be extinct? "
The accusations reached Jiang Lai's ears clearly.
There was only a wall between them, and there was an empty door in the middle. Jiang Lai could hear what was said inside clearly if he wanted to.
"Shen Yan is good at MLM."
One by one, your Jiang family and our Shen family made Jiang Hai stunned.
No, Jiang Hai began to apologize.
"Men are unreliable."
Little Pudding's sigh from the bottom of his heart made Jiang Lai look at him with admiration.
"So you are a boy and a girl? Or a male and a female?"
Little Pudding snorted coldly.
"none of your business."
"Forget it, it's just a dog, don't care if it's male or female."
"Who are you calling a dog?! Have you ever seen a dog that speaks human language?"
"I've seen it before."
"..."
Little Pudding decided to remain silent and not give Jiang Lai any chance to continue trampling on his dignity.
Now Jiang Lai's skill is slightly better than his, but now he is at a disadvantage in the quarrel.
On the other side, Jiang Hai relented.
Although I felt something was wrong, it did sound reasonable, so I had no choice but to bow my head.
Shen Yan took the opportunity to ask.
"What does the steel factory director's secretary want from you?"
"How come you know everything?"
"I told you I have a sharp ear, so be honest with me in the restaurant! Speak quickly!"
Jiang Hai sighed.
"It's the factory director's wife's birthday and she plans to ask me to cook the birthday banquet. I am the only one who knows the northern cuisine inherited from our Jiang family, so the factory director gave me a chance to show off."
When Shen Yan heard this, her voice rose.
"How much?"
"It's not money. Would the director of such a big factory be short of this? I didn't ask."
Shen Yan's tone became much lighter, and the couple reconciled as before.
The next day, Shen Yan made breakfast and looked at Jiang Lai with a bit of dissatisfaction, but because Jiang Hai was there, she endured it and did not have an attack.
After Jiang Hai left, she threw a basket to Jiang Lai with a cold face.
"You and your brother will go pick up coal cores today."
Shen Yaoyao on the side saw this and said.
"Auntie, let me go too. It's not good for my sister to go to her girl's house to pick up coal cores."
"What happened to the girl's family? There are many girls picking up coal cores in the coal yard!
If you're not feeling well, just stay at home and help me cook. "
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Lai again.
"Follow your brother and don't lose yourself again."
Jiang Lai looked at the basket and looked at Shen Pin who was silent.
"Mom, we Jiang siblings are going to pick up coal cores, why can the Shen siblings stay at home and wait for nothing?
Mom, I haven’t gone to school and some people don’t know the truth. Why don’t I ask Dad? "
When Shen Yan heard this, she knew that Jiang Lai had eavesdropped on their conversation last night.
There was a surge of anger in my heart.
When Jiang Lai saw this, he was ready to run. Anyway, no one could catch up with her at a trot.
"Mom, am I right? Jiang Li, look at how dark you are all the time. Look at Shen Pin, who is fair and fair. No wonder Xiuxiu, the most beautiful girl on the street, likes her."
Xiuxiu is the girl Jiang Li likes.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li, who always turned his elbows outward, immediately stood on the same front as Jiang Lai.
Just because he likes his cousin doesn't mean he also likes his cousin.
On the contrary, he was also jealous and hateful towards this cousin.
Mom loves him the most. Before Shen Pin came, what she loved most was her youngest son.
Jiang Lai's few words aroused Jiang Li's anger.
"Yes, Mom, get a basket for Shen Pin too."
When Shen Pin heard this, he thought of the coal yard he had seen by chance before, and then thought of the dark children in the coal yard, hunched over and about to be submerged in the cinders.
He immediately shook his head.
"I haven't recovered from the cold last time. How about I wait until I recover and go with you next time?"
Jiang Lai looked at them and continued.
"Then if you don't go, we won't go either."
Jiang Li nodded.
"Yes, we're not going either."
Shen Yan was very angry, but the family was waiting for coal, and the children were not allowed to look for coal cores. Where would the coal come from when winter came soon?
After thinking about it, Shen Yan looked at Shen Yaoyao.
"Yao Yao, why don't you go and have some fun too and let Alido help you."
Shen Yaoyao stood there, silently clenching his hands and gritting his teeth.
But she has always been sensible in front of Shen Yan, and of course she will not refuse her.
"Well, that's okay, I'll go."
He said and looked at Jiang Lai.
"Sister Jiang Lai, let's go."
Jiang Lai looked her up and down.
"You're going to dig coal cores in this? These clothes aren't cheap."
