Su Laoer felt a little guilty. The thing he was most sorry for in his life was his mother and two children. Following him, the three of them never had a good life. Brother Sheng is a boy with a strong skin, so he has to bear hardships, but his daughter was soft when she was born, and she also endured the hardships with him. He really didn't feel good about it, so how could he bear to blame his daughter for giving away the bacon that was going to his mother-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year? have eaten. My daughter must be greedy for meat. Thinking about their family, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, they have never eaten meat this year. It is natural for my daughter to be greedy for meat.
"Father, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either. And Mom, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either."
At this time, Su Yu's little face was tense, and the smile of the past was completely gone. The couple knew that their daughter was angry, and they also knew that her daughter felt sorry for them both. They felt so comforted that their daughter would feel sorry for others. .
Su Sheng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't see this scene at all. He was eating steamed buns and eating meat. He didn't eat anything.
"Hey, I'm eating right now."
The family was pushing and shoving, but they didn't notice anyone standing at the door. When they opened their mouths, they realized that the person who came was Mr. Su's daughter-in-law, Ji.
"His sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Mrs. Lian put down her bowl and stood up.
"Mom, if you have something to do, let me come over and tell you. You eat first, and I'll talk about it after you finish. I'll just wait by the side."
Mrs. Lian was thin-skinned, and Mrs. Ji was sitting next to her. How could she eat it?
"Has his sister-in-law eaten? If not..."
Before Lian had finished speaking, Ji immediately answered.
"No, I just came back from the fields and my mother sent me to find you. Where can I go to eat?"
"Then come and eat with us."
"Since the three younger siblings have said so, I won't be polite."
As Ji said this, she came to the small square table and took a stool to sit on. However, the table was really not big, so she walked next to Su Yu and squeezed Su Yu to the edge of the table.
"Sanya, I didn't see auntie coming. Move to the side. This girl is getting worse and worse."
Su Yu thought about it in her heart, and immediately knew the kind of person Ji in front of her was. She curled her lips where no one could see her. To be honest, she didn't like this Ji at all.
As soon as Ji sat down, she didn't need to be greeted by anyone else. She took the steamed buns and ate them with big mouthfuls. Then she took the chopsticks and pointed at the plate of stir-fried bacon with leeks. Her chopsticks seemed to have eyes. Every time she picked it up, she could get more bacon and less leeks. Su Yu thought to herself, it was really difficult for her. She cut the bacon narrowly and thinly, then fried it and rolled it up. Now it is thin and thin, and the bacon is very thin. There wasn't much in the first place, but it was gone soon. She finally managed to get rid of the anger in her heart. How could she let Ji finish the food before her family had finished eating?
"Auntie, drink some soup."
Su Yu stood up and turned aside, blocking Ji's hand from stretching out her chopsticks, and poured her a bowl of cabbage soup. Ji's mouth was full at the moment, so it didn't matter if she didn't take off her chopsticks right away. Su Yu could just sit down and pick up the food later.
Su Yu put down the soup basin with one hand and picked up the plate of stir-fried bacon with leeks with the other hand. He first scooped half of it into his own bowl, and then poured the remaining half into Su Sheng's bowl. Give it, knowing that they wouldn't be able to eat it if she gave it to them now, so she simply wouldn't waste the effort.
"Hey! What are you doing? I haven't eaten enough yet."
Su Yu picked up the bowl and stir-fried the leeks with bacon in the bowl. There were enough leeks tonight, and there was still the fragrance of bacon in it. It was delicious to eat.
"His sister-in-law, children are immature. Don't argue with her. I have another steamed bun here. Eat more."
Mrs. Lian said and handed over the steamed buns in the bowl.
Ji was so angry that she couldn't even eat the steamed buns in front of her.
"It's not what I said. Sanya is already ten years old this year. This is how you teach your daughter. Be careful not to get married. I am her eldest aunt. Is there anyone like her?"
"His sister-in-law, this..."
Mrs. Lian was a clumsy-tongued person, and she couldn't even speak a complete sentence after being spoken to by Mrs. Ji with a gun and a stick. As for Su Laoer, Mrs. Ji was his sister-in-law and she was a woman. It’s hard to say anything.
"Auntie, you are not full yet. How is this possible? I just saw that you had eaten two steamed buns and a lot of vegetables. How is it possible that you are not full?"
After speaking, he turned to look at Mrs. Lian.
"Mom, does it mean that my eldest aunt hasn't had enough to eat at home all these years?"
Su Yu looked very confused, and his ignorant eyes looked as innocent as possible.
Ji was choked and speechless.
When eating at the old house, the food was distributed to the family by Mrs. Li, the mother-in-law. When Su Lao Er and his family were still in the old house, each of the men had three buns and a bowl of vegetables, while the women had one person. One and a half steamed buns and a small bowl of vegetables. Because Ji is the eldest daughter-in-law and she has given birth to Brother Chen, and Mrs. Li makes her face, she can get half a steamed bun more for each meal. For this reason, when Mrs. Ji was in the old house, she often made sarcastic remarks in front of Mrs. Lian. She just ate two steamed buns and couldn't hold on anymore. She said how kind her mother-in-law was to her. When she was little, Su Yu could often hear in her old house that if Ji dared to say that she was not full after eating two steamed buns today, she would definitely go to her mother and talk about it.
Mrs. Ji also knows what kind of character Su Yu is. If she says that she doesn't have enough to eat today, this damn girl will dare to go to her mother-in-law and complain about her. This has happened before, although every time this damn girl says something , her mother-in-law told her she was talking nonsense to her face, but the more times she saw her, the way she looked at her changed. It was only in the past three years that Su Lao'er's family moved out and things got much better.
"I'm full. Mom asked me to come here to tell you that next month will be my dad's 60th birthday. You should prepare."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left. When he left, he didn't forget to pick up the steamed bun that Mrs. Lian had just handed over.
"Since you can't finish it, I'll take it back to Brother Chen as a midnight snack. You also know that he studies very hard and mentally."
As long as he doesn't compete with her for the stir-fried bacon with leeks in the bowl, he doesn't want to worry too much about the steamed buns and fish, as eating is more important.
Su Sheng looked at the stir-fried bacon with leeks in the bowl, glanced at his little sister, and then lowered his head to eat, feeling a little weird in his heart.
After leaving Su's house, Ms. Ji finished the steamed buns in her hand in a few bites. Brother Chen always eats carefully at home, so how could he eat the black-faced steamed buns from Su's house?
After they left, Su Laoer and his wife had no intention of eating anymore. They reluctantly took a few bites and stopped eating. They also understood what their parents meant by asking their sister-in-law to come over today. Dad's sixtieth birthday will definitely be next month. If you want to do a big thing, you have to spend money. Where does the money come from? Of course, each of the three sons’ families contributes a share. The eldest and the third are not divided into families, so the money naturally comes from the public. When their families divide it, they will get a share. But where can the family get money now?
After Su Yu put away the dishes and chopsticks, she saw her parents looking worried. She knew it, but she really didn't have any way to make money now. Even if she had, she didn't dare to use it, so she had to keep talking.
"Mom, I went to Fat Aunt's house today and bought twenty-nine eggs. Fat Aunt gave one as a gift, and I got twenty eggs from Grandma Sun."
If her daughter didn't go to get the eggs today, and her father-in-law's sixtieth birthday would be next month, Mrs. Lian would definitely not let her daughter buy them, but she couldn't return them after she had already taken them.
"Hey, mother, give them the money now."
"My dear, it's hard to walk at night, so I'll take you there."
Soon the couple left the house, not forgetting to ask Su Sheng to lock the courtyard door before leaving.
