If not for this, the old lady was so old and in good health. Yi Zhonghai would not have been able to ask for the house. If word got out that he had occupied the old lady's house, wouldn't he be cursing her to death?
Yi Zhonghai chuckled. Although his salary was not bad, he did not have a child at home before. He would not dare to spend money like today.
People had to think about their future. After retirement, their salary would not be so much. When they got older, they would inevitably fall ill. If they did not have money in their hands, they would die.
"Shall the three of us start too?" Yi Zhonghai said as he raised the wine glass in his hand.
Second Uncle only glanced at him and then turned his head." If you didn't say that before, it doesn't matter if we start early. Since we've already said so much, I really want to see how much he can eat.”
Third Uncle smiled and said," This table is only this big. We can't fill it up. They will be here soon." He was hungry, but he was not in a hurry.”
Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and smiled. He put his palms together between his legs and swayed his body." Don't blame me for not reminding you if you don't believe me."”
Initially, he wanted to give the two of them a mental preparation so that they wouldn't be too surprised when they met later. However, the two of them didn't believe him. They probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
In the house, the Deaf Old Lady was eating happily while the three old men sat there and chatted. Now, they were really eager to wait for Yi Guoqu to come over.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the door finally opened.
A hand first reached into the door and opened the left door. Then, Yi Guoqu popped his head out. At this moment, he was smiling like a child. As the other door opened, everyone saw the comb in his hand.
The comb made from the stalks of the sorghums was orange-yellow in color and about 60 centimeters in diameter.
There were more than ten plump and round steamed buns lying on the top of the comb, looking extremely cute.
At this moment, their bodies were still steaming. Although their colors were not as white as in the past, their surfaces were still filled with a lustrous luster. The rich fragrance of wheat spread in the room, and everyone had a sweet taste in their mouths.
Yi Guoqu asked in surprise," Why haven't you started? The dishes are getting cold."”
First Uncle glanced at the two of them and smiled." They're waiting for you!”
Yi Guoqu chuckled and said," Why are you waiting for me? You're all elders. You guys eat first. I still have to go out and bring two dishes."”
Then, she pulled the unused square chair in front of her and placed the comb on it. She reached out and picked up a big steamed bun, her fingers sinking into it." Madam, do you want to eat a steamed bun now? An auntie just steamed it this afternoon. It's very soft!"”
The Deaf Old Lady took a look and saw that all of them were almost as big as her face. Only Yi Guoqu's hands were bigger, which made him look smaller. She immediately exclaimed," Yo! I can't eat such a big steamed bun! Just give me a small piece."
Yi Guoqu pursed his lips and smiled. Then, he broke off a quarter of the bun and handed it over. The cream-colored bun was very tight, and there was not a single gap in the internal structure. The fragrance became even stronger when he broke it open.
The Deaf Old Lady smiled." It's okay if there's so much. If you can't eat it, you can still soak it in the water and eat it tomorrow morning.”
Yi Guoqu raised his head and said," Don't wait here anymore. The three masters are waiting for me. I can't afford to do that. I'll go out and bring those two dishes in again."”
Third Uncle looked at his back and shouted," That's enough, that's enough. It's enough. I can't eat more."”
First Uncle pursed his lips and smiled. Can't eat?
In fact, they still had quite a lot of steamed buns at home. They hadn't finished the ones that were steamed last time. Why did an auntie want to steam them again today?
It was because this was the habit of his second brother's family. When they returned to their hometown during the new year, they did not make dumplings at home. They only steamed a pot of big steamed buns.
Although it was called steamed buns, there were actually only four big steamed buns inside. The rest were all cornbread.
A large pot with a diameter of 50 centimeters and two layers. Steaming it once was enough for two meals on New Year's Eve.
After a while, Yi Guoqu brought two more dishes in succession: spicy stir-fried radish and spinach egg soup.
This made Third Uncle so greedy that he was about to drool." Old Yi, I can't take it anymore with your hospitality. There must be two eggs in this spinach soup, right?”
Although Second Uncle didn't say anything, his Adam's apple was bobbing up and down. It was obvious that he was extremely greedy." Old Yi, we really spent too much today."”
The first uncle grinned and said," It's just that it's the first time Guoqu is here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bear it. You might not know, but the old lady should know too.”
The old lady seemed to be enjoying her meal now, as her ears suddenly worked." Yes, he's an auntie who knows how to live.”
As they were talking, Yi Guoqu and a middle-aged woman walked in. He was holding a plate of vinegar shredded potatoes in his hand.
Once the dishes were served, the fragrance was too appetizing. Third Uncle almost couldn't hold it in and could only reach out to wipe the corner of his mouth.
A middle-aged woman came inside and patted First Uncle's shoulder." Why are you all waiting here? Why don't you let Second Uncle and Third Uncle eat?"”
