Grandma took a deep look at her daughter-in-law and praised her with a smile.
Even though Chen Zhengyu was thick-skinned, he could not help but feel a little flustered when he heard this.
Old Mrs. Han's bias was also very crooked.
"Yes, it's quite good. I can cook two eggs to nourish Zhengyu.”What else could Zhang Xiuzhen say?
"Sister-in-law, I bought a total of 14 eggs. I cooked seven this morning.”Chen Zhengyu said.
"Seven?"
Yang Fangfang did not react in time.
Aren't there eight people in the family?
His brother-in-law had injured his head and was confused?
"Auntie, this flour is a total of eight catties and seven taels. Including the eggs, it costs a total of two yuan. In the future, every three to five days, it will be this much. You can make whatever you want to eat.”
Chen Zhengyu ignored his confused sister-in-law and spoke directly to Zhang Xiuzhen.
"Two?"
Zhang Xiuzhen raised her voice and looked at Chen Zhengyu suspiciously.
Was he treating her like she had never been to the black market?
Don't know the price?
"Yes, it was a coincidence. A friend of mine sold the flour and eggs to me at a low price.”Chen Zhengyu said calmly.
It was just a friend who sold pumpkin, flour, and eggs. In a few days, perhaps even a friend who sold meat would come out.
As the old saying went, one had to rely on their parents at home and friends outside.
Chen Zhengyu didn't have many other things, but he had many friends.
"What friend?"
At this moment, Father Chen walked out of the house with a gloomy expression. Father Chen was the kind of feudal patriarch who was a strict father. He believed that a dutiful son would be born under the rod.
His eldest son had been by his side since he was young and had been beaten countless times.
In front of him, it was like a mouse meeting a cat.
Perhaps it was precisely because he lacked something that he wanted to show off.
As a result, Chen Weimin caused trouble outside all day long, fighting and fighting, acting like his father was the first and he was the second.
For this, Father Chen was also very worried.
Fortunately, he had three sons. Since the eldest son was useless and the second son happened to return to his side, he continued to use his method on Chen Zhengyu.
"Of course, it's a friend that we've had a life-and-death relationship with.”
Chen Zhengyu replied unhurriedly.
Because she had not been by her side since she was young, the Host did not have much affection for her biological father, let alone the current Chen Zhengyu.
When Chen Shuqun heard this, his eyes widened and he wanted to flare up.
At this moment, Grandma hit Chen Zhengyu.
"How can you talk to your dad like that?"
After a pause, Grandma continued," You're not young anymore. No matter what friends you have outside, you have to be careful."”
"Grandma, don't worry. The friends I make are all serious friends. They're not some shady people.”Chen Zhengyu looked at Grandma fawningly.
Beside him, Chen Shuqun choked until his face turned ashen.
At this moment, Chen Weibin walked out of the east room with sleepy eyes.
"What time is it? Don't you know how to get up early to help your mother?”
Chen Weibin's entire body trembled and he was immediately stunned. There were many question marks hanging in his head.
"Xiao Bin, don't worry about your dad. Your second brother bought white noodles and eggs. Go wash your hands and face.”
Zhang Xiuzhen glared at her husband and pulled her son out of the fire pit.
"Eggs?"
Chen Weibin wasn't sleepy anymore." Mom, I want to cook the eggs and bring them to school."”
"What for? Eat at home before you go." Zhang Xiuzhen refused.
"No, I want to bring it to school. Last time, Zhang Yunfei brought eggs to school, and we were so hungry.”
Chen Weibin had already thought it through. If he brought the eggs to school, he would immediately become the brightest child.
Zhang Xiuzhen ignored her son. She picked up the flour and eggs on the table and went into the house.
Chen Zhengyu might have sounded generous, but she couldn't bear to part with one egg per person.
He cooked five in the morning.
The two little ones, along with their mother-in-law, Chen Zhengyu, and the eldest daughter-in-law.
As for her eldest son, Chen Weimin, she had subconsciously forgotten about him.
Chen Shuqun originally wanted to continue lecturing his youngest son, but Chen Weibin ran away like a wisp of smoke.
He stood where he was and looked at Chen Zhengyu, who had no respect for him at all. Then, he looked at the old lady, who looked like she wanted to protect her child to the end. He could only suppress his anger.
None of his three sons made him worry. A daughter was the best.
When Zhang Xiuzhen took the eggs out, she saw some egg liquid on the side of the basket and was shocked.
She wasn't worried about the spoilt eggs, but she was worried that Chen Zhengyu would be at a disadvantage when he was young and impulsive.
Why don't you not let him go in the future?
Chen Zhengyu bought eight catties and seven taels of flour this time. Zhang Xiuzhen hardened her heart and made almost one-third of it.
Logically speaking, with Chen Shuqun's salary, this family should not be so poor.
But in reality, it really wasn't easy.
Not to mention the difficult times, it was very difficult to buy food even if you had money. The price of food on the black market was terrifying.
It wasn't easy for him to get through that period of time. His eldest son had to fight and lose money and get married.
Moreover, her health was not good. Over time, just drinking medicine would cost her a lot of money.
Previously, Chen Shuqun had to help his parents and Chen Zhengyu in the countryside from time to time.
She also wanted to visit her parents.
Therefore, he had not saved much money over the years.
For example, he didn't even dare to think about making three catties of flour at once.
In the end, Chen Zhengyu had bought the flour. As a stepmother, she could give her opinions, but it was not appropriate for her to make decisions directly.
Not long after, the fragrant handmade noodles were served on the table. The steaming hot appearance and the poached egg beside it made people salivate.
Although Zhang Xiuzhen had rejected her son earlier, she still boiled the egg that belonged to him.
Chen Zhengyu looked at the big bowl of hand-rolled noodles and his stomach started to grumble.
In his previous life, he liked this taste, especially when it was poured with tomato and egg gravy. The taste was amazing.
Unfortunately, there were no tomatoes at home, and the eggs were only poached.
However, compared to the previous cornbread, it was many times better.
Chen Weibin and Chen Xueru couldn't help but sit down.
When the former saw that there was no poached egg in his bowl, he could not help but look at his sister.
The latter immediately pulled away as if he was protecting his food.
"Good sister, let me try your poached egg.”Chen Weibin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"No!"
Chen Xueru's skin was as fair as her mother's. She had big eyes and two braids. She wore a flowery cotton jacket and looked very likable.
"Grandma's poached egg is for you."
Grandma smiled and passed the poached egg in her bowl to Chen Weibin.
Chen Weibin was about to start eating when he saw his mother raise her eyebrows.
"Thank you, Grandma. You can have this poached egg. I'm taking my eggs to school.”
