Lin Jianshe had a lot of work to do that day.
Because of the various problems with food, the two deputy directors kept coming, so Lin Jianshe finished his work and returned home.
The sky was already dark.
Song Xiaoxiao had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Lin Jianshe.
Jianshe, you're back." This was the first time Lin Jianshe had returned home late.
Lin Jianshe looked at the anxious Song Xiaoxiao and felt a warmth in his heart.
"Xiaoxiao, you can eat first when you're done cooking next time. You don't have to wait for me.”
Song Xiaoxiao smiled." I'm willing to wait for you. I won't be at ease if you don't come."”
Lin Jianshe leaned forward and kissed Song Xiaoxiao.
"Then hurry up and eat. I'm hungry.”
Song Xiaoxiao quickly scooped the rice.
Lin Jianshe saw that the food was still very sumptuous, so he thought of the lack of food.
"Xiaoxiao, be careful when you cook later. Try not to let anyone see our food.”
Lin Jianshe knew that it was not the lack of people but the imbalance.
Usually, the people in the courtyard were still passable, but when the time came, it was probably not enough.
He was not familiar with the birds in the courtyard, and he had almost fallen out with the few masters, so few people usually came to their house.
In addition, their house had a special kitchen, so they did not cook outside the house at all.
Therefore, few people knew that their food was so good.
Song Xiaoxiao understood what Lin Jianshe meant.
Her family was full of food every day. It would definitely not be good if someone saw her, so she had been paying attention.
She rarely opened the kitchen door and usually came in directly from the living room. This way, outsiders could not see what she was doing through the door.
"You definitely can't see it, but you can smell it, right?”Song Xiaoxiao said.
"That's true. In the past, when it was winter, it was the north wind, and the smell was blown away. Later, when the weather became warmer and the wind changed, the smell drifted into the courtyard.”Lin Jianshe thought for a moment and said.
"Yeah, when I was cooking today, there were still children smelling the fragrance in front of the door.”Song Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Lin Jianshe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After thinking for a moment, he said,"Then I won't bring raw meat back. I'll just bring cooked meat home."”
Song Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Lin Jianshe."It's fine if you don't bring it. Who eats meat every day?”
Lin Jianshe smiled.
Song Xiaoxiao's words made sense, but she forgot that even without meat, their food was much better than others.
They were really frying cabbage, while others were cooking cabbage. How could the oil and water be the same?
"By the way, if you have anything to do these two days, go home and send some food back to your family.”
"Yes, thank you, hubby." Song Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
At this time, the daughter who was married off was like water that was poured out. How could she send food to her mother's house?
She only agreed because she knew that Lin Jianshe did not lack food.
Normally, she would never mention it.
……
At Third Uncle's house.
The family was sitting together and eating.
In the middle of the table, there was a pile of cornbread and steamed bread.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the boiled cabbage in the middle of the table and said unhappily,""Dad, can't you change the dish? Radish is fine too."
"It's good enough that there's food. Do you know what time it is?" Third Uncle asked.”
The second brother Yan Jiefang quickly interrupted,"When?"
Yan Bugui reached out his chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of food,""At the end of February and the beginning of March, it's the time when the green and yellow leaves are not harvested. If I didn't plan ahead, there wouldn't even be any leaves left, let alone cabbages.”
"But you can't cook cabbage every day. It's good to add more oil.”Yan Jiecheng was not satisfied. His wife, Yu Li, was also looking at Yan Bugui expectantly.
Third Uncle was not angry and continued to laugh.
"Doesn't the oil cost money? If you want me to cheer for you, you have to pay me.”
Yan Jiecheng was even more displeased when he heard that." Dad, we paid for our living expenses. You can't make us eat this every day, right?"”
"What can you do with that bit of money?" Third Uncle grinned. It's good enough that you have cabbage to eat. If you don't want it, then forget it.”
"Jie Cheng, why don't you give me 50 cents and I'll add some gas for you?”Third Aunt interrupted.
"No need." Yan Jiecheng had given up. He glanced at his wife, Yu Li, from the corner of his eyes, indicating that he could not help her even if he wanted to.
Yu Li saw everything with her own eyes.
He only felt that his life was bleak and that there was no hope for the future.
In contrast, Third Master looked smug as if he had won a battle.
Recently, supplies had been in short supply again, and all kinds of vegetables and grains had risen in price. If it weren't for him, who was good at scheming, they wouldn't have been able to eat cabbage long ago.
He knew that Qin Huairu's family in the middle court could not even afford to eat cabbage leaves. They were just waiting for others to help them.
In the middle court.
At Qin Huairu's house.
Jia Zhang-shi ate her cornbread with difficulty.
"I don't know when this will end.”
When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately understood that her mother-in-law was pulling her along. How could she reply?
Jia Zhangshi was very dissatisfied when she saw that Qin Huairu had no reaction.
"Huai Ru, are you saying that Silly Zhu can't bring leftovers from the canteen?”
"I really can't," Qin Huairu said."They're very strict.”
"It's all that cafeteria director's fault. Isn't he looking for trouble? How can this silly master help us if she can't bring back leftovers?”
Jia Zhang-shi's heart was filled with resentment.
If it wasn't for the First Uncle's repeated reminder not to provoke that Lin fellow, she would have come looking for him long ago.
"…" Qin Huairu was speechless.
She wasn't as brainless as her mother-in-law. First Uncle's recent behavior made her understand that First Uncle had probably suffered a huge loss at Lin Jianshe's hands.
Especially some time ago, an old man was demoted and fined by the factory, and a notice was posted in the factory.
Qin Huairu guessed that it was Lin Jianshe's doing.
From then on, Qin Huiru realized that First Uncle was no longer as energetic as before. It was as if he had been beaten up by Lin Jianshe and lost his backbone.
Not only that, but the second uncle in the courtyard was also punished along with the first uncle.
Now that he had become especially well-behaved, he was no longer as arrogant as he used to be in the courtyard.
Therefore, when her mother-in-law scolded Lin Jianshe, she was afraid that the walls had ears. Fortunately, she knew that Lin Jianshe's family never entered the backyard of the middle court, so she did not stop them.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Lin Jianshe never entered the backyard of the middle court, but he knew everything that happened in the backyard.
Just like this time, Jia Zhang-shi's loud voice was heard and recorded by the people next door.
"Mom, you guys eat first. I'll go take a look at Silly Zhu.”Qin Huairu also felt that eating cornbread every day was not good for the child. She wanted to go to Silly Zhu's place next door to see if there was anything delicious.
"Go ahead." Jia Zhang-shi was delighted. She had said so much just to get Qin Huairu to bring back some delicious food.
"Mom, then hurry up and go. I won't eat the cornbread for now. It's too sharp for my throat.”When the stick heard that his mother was going to Silly Zhu's place, how could he not understand? He quickly put down the cornbread.
Jia Zhangshi looked at him and laughed." My good grandson is really smart. Alright, I won't eat the cornbread for now. Let's see if your mother can bring you some delicious food."”
Qin Huairu's heart ached when she heard that. She felt sad that her child was suffering and that her mother-in-law was provoking her.
He was just going to take a look. Whether he could get it or not was another matter.
As a mother-in-law, if Silly Zhu didn't have any good food, what would she do?
Do you still have the face to come back?
Could it be that he would look at his son's expectant eyes and tell him to continue eating cornbread?
Qin Huairu kept encouraging herself in her heart, telling herself to be strong. Even if there was nothing at Silly Zhu's place, she had to think of a way for her son to bring back some delicious food.
Qin Huairu could not help but recall the fragrance she had smelled when she passed by Lin Jianshe's house on her way home from work.
