The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 64, Dinner

After sending Qin Huairu away, Li Weiguo shook his head helplessly and began to clean up the house.

This was a good pot of goose meat. I was stunned to give Banggan two or three kilograms of it. A few pieces fell off the edge of the stove. I scooped it up and ran away, and the pot lid was thrown aside.

To be able to train so well at the age of six or seven, I have to feel Jia Zhang's ability.

Just
Cover the pot, pick up the broom and dustpan in the corner and start cleaning up.

He didn't plan to take the goose meat that fell on the ground, and sent it directly to the fish pond in the space to feed the fish with a wave of his big hand.

After a few minutes of cleaning up, all the garbage and dust on the ground were swept away.

Put away the broom and dustpan, replace the coal stove with briquettes, and prepare to light the fire for cooking.

It's only after five o'clock, and Sha Zhu hasn't finished get off work yet. He asked for leave and came back early. He has nothing to do now, so he just warmed up the steamed buns and goose meat, and they can eat them when the brothers and sisters come back.

Next door, Jia's.

Qin Huairu put the goose back on the dining table with a bang.

Pulling the stick to the front of him, he nodded angrily on the head of the stick: "Who told you to go to someone's house to get something? Didn't you just eat goose yesterday? Why are you so greedy?"

Stick bowed his head and said: "Mom, I only had a few bites of meat yesterday, and it's gone before I taste it. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

"Didn't you just eat it last month? Why are you getting greedy again? You can't go to someone's house to get it after you haven't eaten for a long time. Isn't this stealing?" Qin Huairu became more and more angry as he talked, and grabbed the stick by the ear, trying to clean it up. he.

"Oh, my ears hurt so much, grandma, save me quickly."

Seeing the cries of the stick, Zhang-shi hurriedly slapped Qin Huairu's hand away, and took the stick to his side.

"Okay, okay, my grandson is hungry, what's the matter with some goose meat, and they don't have any shortage, how dare you care about this kid?" After finishing speaking, he curled his lips and rubbed his grandson's ears.

Seeing her mother-in-law looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Qin Huairu was also heartbroken.

Resignedly said: "Mom, there is no such thing as you. That is to say, Chief Li, if he holds grudges in his heart, you can wait for Dongxu to be dealt with. He won't care about your grandson, but he can Your son cares."

Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Jia Zhang's heart tightened: "It's not enough, it's just a few pieces of meat."

The more Jia Zhang talked about it, the less confident she became. After all, she was a little afraid of involving her son.

"How many pieces of meat? Bang Geng scooped up a bowl full of him while he was not at home, at least two or three catties. This goose meat is so expensive, it costs four or five yuan for a bowl." Qin Huai Rubai He glanced at her and said angrily.

Being pointed out by his own daughter-in-law, Rao Jia Zhang has a thick skin, and he is a little bit reluctant.

Yesterday's meat was not enough for the whole family to eat, no, she was hungry in the afternoon.

She was embarrassed to take it at such an old age, so she urged her grandson to take it, and even brought a large bowl for Banggen, which would cost two or three catties.

"Okay. Got it. Banggan, let's not go to their place in the future, let your father buy meat for you in the future." Jia Zhang waved his hand impatiently, and then patted the head of the stick and told him road.

"Oh." Bang Geng buried his head in Jia Zhang's arms, and nodded in a daze.

After six o'clock in the evening, the workers in the factory had already left work, and the children who were studying had also left school.

The adults and students in the courtyard came back one after another, and every household was cooking and eating, and it gradually became lively.

Not long after, the rain came back from school.

"Wow, I asked about the smell of goose meat."

As soon as the rain came back, he rushed to the side of the iron pot, stretched his neck, took a few breaths, and said intoxicated, "Mmm, it smells so good."

"Silly girl, get hungry, go wash your hands, and get ready to eat." Li Weiguo patted Yu Shui's head and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go." Said, Yushui smiled shyly, threw his small satchel on the table, and ran out to wash his hands.

Seeing the stormy appearance of Yushui, Li Weiguo smiled helplessly, turned around to get a bowl of vegetables, and prepared to eat.

After washing my hands in the rain, dinner was already set on the table.

A bowl of goose meat, a fried cabbage, and a bowl of steamed buns with white noodles.

"Wow, it's goose meat and white flour steamed buns again. I'm so happy, hee hee." Yu Shui quickly sat down on the seat, looking at the food and said happily.

Although Shazhu is a cook, his rations and pork rations are the same as others. If he wants to eat good food, he has to buy it at a high price.

Normally, I eat meat once or twice a month, and I can't afford to eat too much.

Li Weiguo picked up two steamed buns and put one into her bowl: "Okay, let's eat."

Yushui picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, then asked, "Shouldn't we wait for my silly brother?"

"What are you waiting for him to do? He might have to work overtime. Besides, he eats like a cow. It's okay to go hungry for two meals." Li Weiguo said indifferently.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Yuyu nodded, with a look of agreement.

Li Weiguo gave her a funny look, does it make sense?Does the first half of the sentence make sense, or does the second half make sense?
Shaking his head, he picked a piece of meat for her, and then ate.

It took almost half an hour for the two of them to finish eating.

Li Weiguo was about to get up and clear the table when Yu Yu held him down: "Brother Wei Guo, you don't have to do these things, I'll just do it." After saying that, he smiled shyly and took the bowls and chopsticks from Li Weiguo's hand.

Seeing Yu Yu's resolute attitude, Li Weiguo didn't try to fight with her, but instead asked: "By the way, Yu Yu, what does your school have for lunch?"

Yushui thought for a while and said, "Well, the staple food is steamed buns or Erhe noodles, and the dishes are cabbage and radish."

"Are you full?"

"It's not bad. I bring food stamps, vegetable stamps and money to the canteen to exchange for meal stamps. I can eat as much as I want, but now the exchange amount for each person is limited. A maximum of four taels of meal stamps per meal." The work didn't stop, and she explained to him while clearing the table.

Li Weiguo nodded. Now that the famine has spread to the city, it is understandable for the cafeteria to control the exchange of meal tickets. Even in factories, the monthly meal tickets are fixed, and no more exchanges are allowed.

Glancing at Yushui's bamboo pole-like figure, Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "You are growing up now, and you can barely fill your stomach in four taels. How can you be full? I will bring some dry food and vegetables at home from now on. past."

"Yeah..." Hearing Li Weiguo's instructions, Yu Yu smiled and nodded.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening that Shazhu returned home slowly.

Today there is a reception in the factory, so he is left to work overtime in the factory to make a small stove.

The cook is usually not allowed to leave until the banquet is over, because he is worried that there will not be enough food and he has to add food at last moment, so after Shazhu finished cooking and waited until the leader finished eating, it was already past eight o'clock.

But fortunately, dinner can be settled in the back kitchen, so he won't be hungry, and he brought two lunch boxes back after cooking, which is a good bonus.

However, when passing by the sink in the middle courtyard, Shazhu met Qin Huairu who was washing clothes. The two chatted for some unknown reason, and finally the two lunch boxes they brought back became one.

Li Weiguo understands why Yushui is so thin. From time to time, she starves until [-] or [-] o'clock, and still can't eat enough. Can she not lose weight?

When Jia Dongxu is gone, the rain probably won't even make up for a lunch box.
