Chapter 399 The Housewives of the 1970s (30)

  Mr. Xu's family's dishes tonight are indescribably rich.

   Knowing that today's food distribution, Xu Yin went to the county early in the morning, asked the aunt to exchange a meat ticket, cut a piece of meat, and rounded up the four pig's trotters on the meat stall.

  Braised pork, braised pig's trotters, miscellaneous fish and shrimps caught in the small river, and seasonal vegetables that are gradually ripening in private plots, the table is full of dishes.

   He also picked up the younger sister from the town, and grandpa and grandma Xu also called over to eat together.

  Xu Lan was shocked when she saw the table full of dishes: "Second sister, when did our food get so good?"

   "Miss Lan, don't think about it, our food is only so good today! Usually pickled melon and kimchi are served with the meal. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

  Xu Laosan was afraid that this little girl would go out and brag about it, just like him and his wife back then, they couldn't help going out after eating meat, but it turned out that the second daughter's matchbox business was gone.

  Although the fat and water do not flow out, the land of outsiders falls into the hands of the elder daughter, but the married daughter is different from the daughter at home after all.

Seeing this, Chen Huilan quickly reminded the little girl: "Lan Lan, don't tell anyone, because our family got the most food today, which is the most food in history. If your father is happy, let your second sister cut it." Come back with some meat. If you tell the outside world, people will think that our family eats meat every day."

  Xu Lan doesn't believe that the family only eats meat today. She has eaten the braised pork sent by her second sister several times in succession even if she is at her uncle's house.

  To her surprise, in addition to braised pork, there are fish, shrimp, and pig's trotters! Wow! It's a big meal today!

  She giggled, and made a face at her parents: "I'm not like you, I just go out when there is something delicious! I always eat it secretly, right, Second Sister?"

  Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes!"

  Xu and his wife: "..."

   These two daughters can't be kept anymore, one is more difficult to manage than the other.

  Xu Lan seldom goes home, so it is natural to let her eat well.

  Xu Yin specially steamed a bowl of dried shrimp egg custard with three eggs, and put them into the bowls of Erlao and Xu Lan respectively.

  The old man has bad teeth and cannot eat much meat, so eat some custard to nourish his body.

  Little sister, of course it is to reward her for her hard work in studying.

  Xu Lan was overwhelmed by flattery: "Second sister, I have it too? Are there so many?"

   "Well, it's for you, eat it quickly."

   "Thank you, Second Sister!" Xu Lan was happy to eat the bowl, took a bite of the tender egg custard, and sighed contentedly, "Ah! It's so delicious! I really want to stay at home."

   Xu Laosan was afraid that she would not go to live with the old family, so he hurriedly said: "If you stay at home, you won't be able to eat it. It's rare to have a share. Look, your mother and I, do you have egg custard?"

  Xu Lan thought about it, she was right! I used to stay at home every day, so I didn't have this kind of treatment, so I nodded vigorously: "I'm still going to live at my uncle's house! I can't let my father suffer!"

   "That's right!" Xu Laosan heaved a sigh of relief.

  The others were speechless.

   "By the way, Lan Lan, has Yuanyuan decided on a partner? Which one has she decided on?" Mrs. Xu thought of her eldest granddaughter's marriage.

  The old lady was fooled.

  Last month, the eldest daughter-in-law came back and said that the eldest granddaughter’s target was a steel factory worker. How did you hear people say that she was the son of the director of the agricultural machinery factory this month? Or is it that the son of the agricultural machinery factory works in a steel factory? Is it the same person?

Xu Lan said what she knew: "...Grandma, what you said was the last one, and that one has been blown up a long time ago. Now he is the son of the director of the agricultural machinery factory Guo, and he also works in the agricultural machinery factory. He seems to be in charge of the warehouse. .”

   "Then the wedding date has also been set? Why didn't the eldest daughter-in-law say something?" Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy.

  The marriage of the eldest granddaughter is considered a big event. The elder couple didn’t know about it. They came to the old house to talk about it. When others asked, they still didn’t know anything about it.

  Xu Lan tilted her head: "I heard my aunt complained to my uncle. It seems that my mother-in-law has some opinions on my uncle's raising me and Taotao, and the bride price has not been negotiated yet."

   "What?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu cursed angrily, "It has nothing to do with the husband's family that the boss raises his nephews and nieces! They don't want them to pay for them!"

  Xu Laosan nodded: "That's right! The boss doesn't want to take care of him, so he should give up his position. The second child and I will definitely fight for it!"

  Xu Yin wanted to help her forehead: Dad! Don't add fuel to the fire!

  Xu Laosan didn't know what his daughter was thinking, so he picked his teeth and shook his head with the strength of alcohol and said to Xu old man:

"I'm serious, dad, you used to worry that I was too lazy, but now I'm not lazy, and I get full work points every day! Our family got double work points when Yinyin double robbed, and was recommended to the labor model commendation meeting. What a glorious ancestor Ah! If the boss doesn't want to raise Lanlan and Taotao, then let Yinyin go! Isn't he the loader of the agricultural machinery factory? Yinyin's strength, I'm afraid she won't be able to do the job?"

  When Xu Yin heard this, she wished she could step forward and cover her father's mouth.

  Are you kidding me? Let her work as a worker in an agricultural machinery factory? Isn't this closer to the plot?

"Grandpa, my dad is talking drunk! Don't take it to heart. Once the replacement position is confirmed, there is no reason to change it." Xu Yin interjected, "Why don't you go to the uncle's house tomorrow to see what it is? The situation, if it's really because of Lan Lan and Tao Tao, I think it's okay for the uncle to pay some ration money every month so that the two young ones can go back to their respective homes..."

  Grandpa Xu nodded: "I'll go and see the boss tomorrow."

   Looking at it, I saw the problem.

  Zou Caifen didn't know that the old man would come, so she hid the meat and vegetables as usual, gave Taotao some pickled vegetables, and gave him half a whole grain corn bun:

   "Eat quickly! Go to school after eating! Your cousin's partner will come to the house in a while."

   "Uncle, didn't you buy fish? Why is there no fish?"

   Taotao looked at the food on the table.

  Ever since he and Lan Lan revealed the matter of the uncle's hidden vegetables in front of the cousin's ex-girlfriend, the uncle's mother intensified. It doesn't matter whether the family buys meat or vegetables, but he and Lan Lan don't have a share.

   "There are no fish! No fish!" Zou Caifen was so annoyed by this little beast, "That's all, eat it or not!"

  Xu Lan supported the old man Xu to stand outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, my aunt has designated Tibetan dishes. She will entertain her cousin soon, so it is impossible not to buy meat and vegetables."

  Old man Xu's dissatisfaction with the eldest daughter-in-law reached the extreme.

  There is no food at home, everyone eats pickled vegetables, no one will say anything.

   But obviously there are meat and vegetables, and it is too much to hide them from the children.

   Even if you don’t buy a lot of meat and vegetables, and you can’t get a piece for each person, then it’s good to give them some broth or fish soup with rice.

  In the wages earned by the eldest brother, the second and third children also share. You can't just enjoy without paying!

   "Bang!"

  The old man was so angry that he pushed the door open and entered.

  Zou Caifen was shocked: "Father? Why are you here?"

"grandfather!"

  Taotao was feeling aggrieved, when he saw old man Xu coming in, he threw himself into his arms and took the opportunity to complain:

   "Auntie won't feed Lan Lan and me! One time we were hungry for two whole days!"
