Hu Lanying cut the fat to refine the oil.
As their kitchen was built outside, there was only a shed to shelter them from the wind and rain.
Therefore, the fragrance of the meat quickly spread to every household.
The few households in the backyard were the first to smell it, followed by the entire courtyard.
At Second Uncle's house.
He stared in the direction of the Su family's house outside the door. He used his chopsticks to flip the scrambled eggs on the plate and then picked them up to eat them in one bite.
Then, he gulped down the white wine in his glass and slammed it on the table.
"A country bumpkin still eats meat at all times. What a moral character!”Second Uncle's eyes were filled with jealousy.
"That's right. Our family might not even be able to eat meat once a year, and their family is still refining oil outside!”
Liu Guangfu said as he swallowed. He was about to finish the scrambled eggs when Second Uncle knocked his hand with his chopsticks.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Is this for you to eat?" Second Uncle asked back. With the fragrance coming from it, he picked up the egg and ate it.
Seeing that the plate was clean, he put down his chopsticks, pulled his clothes, and stood up to leave the dining table.
At Xu Damao's house.
His family was living a good life and didn't care about this meal at all, but he still couldn't stand Su Bai.
"Hmph, I wonder whose meat was stolen by him.”
"Come on, if he didn't grab the stick, the thief would have run away.”
"There's nothing to thank me. Erzi, you haven't paid the money Qin Huairu's family owes you, right?”
Lou Xiao'e scooped the chicken soup and looked at Xu Damao." No, how rich can his family be?”
"That still has to be done. You can rest at home. When I have time, I'll go and get it. This old hen's matter can't be over just like that.”
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he tore off another wing from the chicken.
As for the Jia family in the middle court.
Jia Zhang-shi bit down on half of the cornbread and cursed fiercely,"Whose backyard is cooking meat there? They don't even know how to help us out when they have money, and they still eat for themselves!”
"And Silly Zhu, look at what he did today. The fact that the stick was taken away is directly related to him. Hurry up and ask him to think of a way to save my precious grandson!”
She scolded Silly Zhu for his mistakes, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who had prepared the dishes on their table.
"Grandma, Mom, I want to eat meat too.”
Little Dang wiped away his tears. He didn't even have the appetite to eat the cornbread.
Huai Hua also threw the cornbread on the table. She sat on the chair and flapped her legs." I want to eat too. We didn't even get to eat chicken today."”
"Shut up! Two good-for-nothings." Jia Zhang-shi heard the two of them crying and then thought about her precious grandson who was taken away. She felt annoyed." Your brother doesn't even know what to eat, but he's still shouting that he wants to eat meat."”
Qin Huiru felt bad when she heard Jia Zhangshi scolding her two daughters.
She used her sleeve to wipe away her tears and sobbed," Mom, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua are still young.”
Her heart ached. There were three children in the family, and her mother-in-law only cared about one.
Especially after her husband passed away, she suspected every day that the food she brought was not clean.
Now, she felt that she had less and less ambition.
If she didn't have three children, she would be more relaxed.
In the past, with her husband around, she could still focus on taking care of the children at home.
Later, Jia Dongxu died from a work-related injury, so he took over the shift and started as an apprentice. His monthly salary was only 27.5 yuan.
It was less than 30 yuan a month, but he had to feed five mouths.
Jia Zhangshi's face was gloomy as she rolled her eyes at her two granddaughters.
"Hmph, that's still a little money-losing thing."
"Mom!"
Qin Huairu pursed her lips and glared angrily at Jia Zhangshi, who was gulping down her corn paste.
She thought to herself,'If it wasn't for the fact that I'm afraid that the people in the courtyard will gossip and that there's no one to take care of the three children, I would have sent you to the countryside long ago.'
Ever since her husband passed away, she had taken over the work shift, but there were still three children at home to take care of, so she could only leave Jia Zhangshi behind. Who knew that as long as she was at home, her mother-in-law would nag for a day.
In the backyard.
After Hu Lanying finished cooking, she was about to pack up a bowl.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Su Bai asked.
"I'll pack one up and send it to the old lady. I'm afraid she'll be hungry.”
Hu Lanying put a lot of meat into an empty bowl. Anyone who saw this would probably swallow their saliva.
She took into account the old lady's age and bad teeth, so she specially picked more fat meat.
Not only was it easy to chew, but it was also fragrant.
"Wife."
"Ah?"
Su Bai pulled her arm and pointed in the direction of the old lady's room." Look at the old lady's room, the lights are still off. She probably hasn't come back from her walk yet. Let's eat first and send it over later.”
"Aiyo, I forgot that the old lady likes to walk.”
"So, let's eat first."
Hu Lanying took a look. Sure enough, she thought that the head of the house was thoughtful.
She placed the bowl full of meat aside and covered it with two cornbread buns. Then, she took an empty bowl and covered it with a lid before placing it aside.
"This is for the old lady. We'll get some for ourselves.”
Hu Lanying scooped out the rest of the meat and put it in front of Su Bai.
She didn't want to use up all the meat, but Su Bai kept saying that she had to eat it after she bought it. She could use the refined oil dregs to make buns and have another meal.
If she couldn't persuade Su Bai, she could only listen to him.
"Boss, you have to work during the day. Eat more.”
After she finished speaking, she picked up some stir-fried cabbage and helped him eat it.
Su Bai couldn't bear to see her so thin and reluctant to eat. He ignored her refusal and switched the positions of the cabbage gang and the meat.
"Wife, you're busy at home. You should eat more.”
"No need. I didn't really touch it."
"Then we have to eat." Su Bai's face darkened as he put pieces of meat into her bowl." Eat them all. Don't stop until you're done."”
Hu Lanying's eyes reddened and her nose started to sting.
She turned her head away and used her sleeve to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up.
She thought to herself,'Since the head of the family is getting better and better, his future days will definitely get better and better.'
She looked up and nodded with a smile." Yes, I'll eat! You have to eat too."
Hu Lanying also picked up some meat for the man.
After they finished eating, she wanted to clean up before going over, but Su Bai stopped her." Wife, I'll clean up. You go and deliver the food first."”
"What about you?"
"I'll go after I'm done tidying up."
"Yes."
Hu Lanying carried the food to the old lady's house.
Su Bai looked at her thin back and sighed." Lan Ying is too kind.”
No matter what era it was, it was hard to find a kind-hearted and innocent woman. It was even rarer to find one who had maintained it all along.
This little wife had picked up a portion beforehand and added all the food that she was reluctant to eat.
Now, they were all sent to the old lady.
Hu Lanying brought the food to the deaf old lady's house.
The old lady looked at her and was delighted." Yo, Su family's daughter-in-law.”
"Old Madam, you haven't had dinner yet, right? The owner asked me to bring some food.”
