Chapter 385: The House Ruiner in the 1970s (16)

Seeing Xu Sang, Xu Yin knew where the matchbox was.

“Sister, do you want to paste a matchbox?”

Xu Sang had not yet recovered from the surprise of her second sister coming to see her, and was surprised to hear Xu Yin ask this question.

 Matchboxes are something that even city dwellers are scrambling to earn extra money from. Who wouldn’t want to make a matchbox? Who does not like?

But-

“Second sister, don’t you always like to paste matchboxes?”

 Xu Yin: “…”

No! She doesn't like it.

　　In fact, the original person doesn’t like it either.

She just didn't want to go to the ground, so she rushed to paste the matchbox.

 After all, compared to other tasks, gluing matchboxes is easy and clean.

 When it comes to housework that you don’t want to do, you can also refuse it on the pretext that you need to paste a matchbox.

“You just said do you want to be confused? Don’t ask me to ask others. I recently took my parents to the fields to earn work points, and I really don’t have time.”

 “Huh? Have you gone to the ground?”

Xu Sang was even more surprised. The second sister had changed so much this time that she almost no longer recognized her.

"Yes, I have received full work points for several days. Why don't I go to hand over the matchbox today? I didn't plan to accept it at first, but after thinking about it, this is the job my grandpa asked someone to find. It's not good to turn it down, so I'd better accept it. Come back. If you are willing, I will leave it to you. Once the paste is done, you can directly ask your brother-in-law to send it to the match factory. But you have to paste it more smoothly. The eldest sister who inspects and accepts pays great attention to quality. If the quality is good, she will send more quantity next time. You. My batch is better than before. She gave me two thousand."

 “Okay, okay.”

Hearing what the second sister said, Xu Sang did not refuse.

 “Thank you, second sister.”

“Sisters, thank you for whatever you say.”

Xu Yin put down the matchboxes in the two snakeskin bags, took out the contents of the backpack, and placed them on the table.

"Sister, I'm in a hurry to go home and cook. I won't talk to you any more. I'll give these to you. The chicken cake is soft. You can share some with your in-laws and grandparents. Also, although we don't have brothers in our family, we do have sisters. There are three of you. If you feel wronged, go home and I will support you."

 After saying that, she picked up her backpack and prepared to leave.

"It's already this time. Let's stay for a quick meal before leaving." Xu Sang held her back.

 “Don’t eat.”

After eating, the two at home will definitely go on strike.

Xu Sang had no choice but to give up and put the malan heads dug up in the morning into a basket for her second sister to take with her to add some dishes, and then sent her out:

“Second sister, I will go back to my parents’ house in a while. You can keep the dirty clothes and my elder sister will wash them for you later.”

Xu Yin staggered and turned around and said: "No! How old am I? Do I still need you to wash my clothes? Just live in peace and contentment, I am at home!"

After Xu Yin left, Xu Sang returned to the house and saw the things on the table. He didn't pay attention to them just now. Now he took a closer look and found that they were all good things bought in the city.

 Egg cake, sorghum glutinous rice paste, lard candy... Oops! And a strip of pork belly? ah! what is this? So beautiful and exquisite!

 Unscrew the bottle cap and smell the fragrance of lip balm. Could it be lip balm?

Xu Sang didn’t recognize the words on the package, so he took it to his neighbor’s new wife, who had attended elementary school for a few years and asked.

“Sister Sang Sang, this is the cream, bottled cream, did you buy it? It’s not cheap, right?”

 “I didn’t buy it, it was a gift from my second sister.”

 Where did the second sister get the money? Earn money from pasting matchboxes? There are so many things, and pork and cream are not cheap. How many matchboxes do you have to paste?

Xu Sang was deeply moved when he thought of his second sister, who spent day and night pasting matchboxes in order to earn money to buy these things.

 The second sister must have been worried that she would suffer hardship in her husband's family, so she came to support her as soon as she received the money.

What a good second sister... woo woo hoo...

Xu Yin didn’t know that Xu Sang was moved to tears because of that little thing. If she knew... well, she would probably say that she was lucky to run fast, and she was most afraid of dealing with this kind of situation.

Shuangqiao Brigade is far away from Seven-Star Brigade, which can be done in a quarter of an hour at her own pace.

 When I get home, it’s not time to finish work in the morning.

Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, put away her things, and started cooking.

　　The pork belly bought in the morning was given to Xu Sang, and the family food was taken from the system warehouse.

 Didn’t the world champion open an ecological farm in his previous life? Purely ecological, semi-free-range Paoshan black pork is less fatty than domestic pigs of this era, but more fragrant and juicy.

The most authentic three-layered pattern near the back tip of the buttocks, with overlapping fat and thin textures and intertwined textures. In fact, if you count the detailed layers, there are as many as nine or ten layers.

Xu Yin loves this pork belly. It is stewed into Dongpo pork. When you pick it up with chopsticks, it trembles slightly and becomes soft and chewy.

Pork trotters are of course stewed with soybeans.

There was some Huang Dou at home, and Grandma Xu even grabbed a few handfuls two days ago.

Xu Yin washed and soaked the pig's trotters, briefly blanched them in water, and then simmered them slowly. I'm eating this tonight, so don't be in a hurry.

 At noon, in addition to the braised pork, I also fried dried shrimps and chives, mixed with malan head, and made seaweed and egg drop soup.

Xu Laosan and his wife worked for a long time, and they came home groaning tiredly. They smelled the aroma of meat before they entered the door, and their fatigue was wiped away.

“Did my daughter really buy meat?”

“Yinyin! Yinyin, have you bought meat?”

 “Oops! Braised pork!”

The couple ran into the house one after another, and were overjoyed when they saw the red-colored braised pork on the table, which looked very tempting:

 “There is really meat to eat today!”

 “Girl! Can I drink?”

 “Have a drink! Just don’t delay your afternoon work.”

 “If you don’t delay, don’t delay! I promise you won’t delay!”

　　After Xu Laosan made repeated promises, he poured himself a small cup, happily took a sip of wine and ate a chopstick of braised pork, feeling as happy as a god.

 “This is life!”

Chen Huilan was immersed in eating rice and braised pork, looking extremely satisfied:

“It’s so delicious! I’ve never tasted such delicious meat! The braised pork you made with milk during the Chinese New Year is far inferior to this.”

How can this be the same?

 Old Mrs. Xu was reluctant to give up the material.

 In her opinion, it is good to have meat to eat. The deliciousness of the meat itself outweighs everything else. Put sugar, wine and soy sauce, what a waste! Save it and mix it with lard to make another dish.

A meal of braised pork kept the couple thinking about it for three days.

During this period, the couple seemed to have a lot of energy when going to work. While working, they were always smacking their mouths and savoring the deliciousness of the braised pork.

Three days passed, and seeing the two of them starting to become a little lazy again, Xu Yin took out the cigarettes and cream at the right time.

So that day, the couple, who had planned to lie down for a nap without getting up, were so aroused by this surprise that they lost all sleep.

“Is this a filter? Oops! Thanks to my daughter, I, Mr. Xu, will also be able to wear a filter one day!”

"What is this? Balm? It smells so good!" Chen Huilan held the delicate glass bottle, unscrewed the cap, and smelled the scent of cream.

"Yes! Bottled cream! New goods from the supply and marketing cooperative. No need to vote for the time being, so I bought you a bottle. Mom and dad have worked hard recently, and I always want to reward you with something."

“Oh, working for your own family is not hard work!” Chen Huilan grinned happily.

Xu Laosan clamped the cigarette to his ears like others, and smiled from ear to ear: "That's right! Isn't it just the next place? Don't worry, my dear! Your father's waist and legs don't hurt now, and he is more energetic at work!" I’ll show you if I earn enough work points every day!”

  Isn’t this the kind of effect Xu Yin wants?
