Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 189 Do you like to eat or not?

"Okay, it's all good. Sit down, you two, we're going to eat soon." Zhao Mei's attitude towards them was obviously not as good as towards Li Meiling and her wife.

His attitude was indifferent and he didn't even want to take another look.

Anyway, it seems quite annoying.

Li Meiqin didn't notice it either, sitting carelessly by the kang, waiting for her meal. She doesn't have any good intentions at all. To be honest, this person is just different from other people.

"Mom, I'll help you get dressed. What else haven't you done?" Shi Lei put down his things, rolled up his sleeves, and went to help.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Mei had a smile on her face. She was still very satisfied with this uncle.

Although my legs and feet are a little bad, I can still make money without missing work, and I can live a good life.

Maybe she was too optimistic about the other party's conditions and insisted on letting Li Meiqin marry him, which made Li Meiqin dissatisfied.

But at that time, it was really great to be able to marry into a town and have a dual-income family. There's no point in regretting it now, she can only say that she doesn't care about those things anymore.

The province was criticized behind the scenes.

Li Meiqin saw that Li Meiling's face was rosy and her clothes were different, and she felt a sense of disparity in her heart.

After all, Li Meiling still married in a rural area. So what if she married into a dual-income family? They are not as good as those in rural areas.

"Sister, why didn't you bring your child?" Li Meiling didn't notice that she was unhappy and rushed to talk to her.

Li Meiqin's face was pale, "Why did you bring us here when it's so cold? Your family has a car, so you came here on a bicycle from my family. It's so cold."

"I've only been in the house for a while, and I haven't recovered yet."

It's really cold. It doesn't matter even if there's a bright sun, the temperature is here.

Hearing this, everyone in the room felt uncomfortable. They are all sisters. Why did they say this? Weird and weird.

Shi Lei brought the food into the room and frowned, but didn't say anything.

He couldn't talk about Li Meiqin here, after all, he was at his mother-in-law's house.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Do you think my eldest brother-in-law can't afford a car, or do you think my second sister didn't buy you a car?" Li Haidong didn't know what to think, so he just said this.

Originally, the matter passed without anyone speaking to him, but he still insisted on quarreling with her.

Li Meiqin's face stiffened and she rolled her eyes, "Why are you talking? I am your eldest sister!"

Li Haidong has heard this twice today. Why, is it his fault that he is young?

"You are the only one who can make excuses!" He snorted coldly.

Zhao Mei entered the room and patted Li Haidong, "Okay! Hurry up and serve the food."

She didn't want to say that Li Meiqin was not interested in quarreling during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone sat around the table, and there were six meat dishes among the eight dishes. In the past, their family only served six dishes and three meat dishes during the Chinese New Year.

Li Meiqin also felt that this year was different and asked: "Mom, have you made money this year? Buy so much meat."

She ate the braised pork, which tasted like nothing she had tasted in a long time. No one can eat meat like this. In town, meat is stewed in other dishes, and there is no way to make braised pork alone.

"Meiling gave this to me years ago." Zhao Mei replied, without specifying how much.

She said that she was afraid that Shi Lei would overthink it, and thought she was being unreasonable by saying that she wouldn't give it as a gift, so she just kept it simple.

Li Meiqin didn't ask any more questions and just focused on eating. At the end of the year, I can only eat more meat during the Chinese New Year, and I usually can’t bear to cook so many dishes.

After eating, everyone sat on the kang and chatted.

In the kitchen, Li Meiqin covered the leftovers and asked Zhao Mei, who was washing the dishes: "Mom, how much meat did they send? I see there is a pot of leftover bones stewed with sauerkraut in the dish rack."

She had also been a stay-at-home girl before, so how could she not know how much the old couple could save? So during the Chinese New Year, I never buy so much meat. I just make some dumplings and freeze them, and eat some when I want to eat meat.

Hearing this, Zhao Mei thought for a while and then told the truth, "I gave half a pig as a gift, and there are also some other goods, and that's the fat sausage."

This is all they have, and they haven’t eaten half of it since the Chinese New Year.

When she heard about half a pig, Li Meiqin's eyes widened, "How much money do they have? I'll give you half a pig!"

The words were interrogative, and I didn’t believe them at all.

Zhao Mei didn't want to explain, and replied: "I don't know, anyway, I gave you these, and there is still some meat in the water tank in the warehouse. Let's make dumplings tonight. Will you eat them here?"

Usually after lunch, the girl and her uncle would go back.

Li Meiling stayed here for one night this year and didn't know if Li Meiqin and his wife were here, so I asked.

"I..." Li Meiqin hesitated and said, "Eat, eat here."

She seemed to have heard that Li Meiling and her husband had made money before, but she didn't know the specific situation. It seems that I did make a lot of money, otherwise I would be half a pig in one move?

wrong.

"Mom, you said the TV at home was given by Qin Hao, and the radio. Is what you said before true?" She remembered this because she saw it last time at her parents' house.

I don’t know if it’s true or not.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you?" Zhao Mei also finished packing, threw away the apron, and went back to the house without saying a word.

Li Meiqin, who was behind, still wanted to ask, but the man left and had no choice but to follow him into the house.

Qin Hao was sitting on the kang watching TV. He actually heard what was said in the kitchen just now. Rural houses are not soundproofed at all.

Unless you are whispering, you can hear it.

He pretended not to hear it, and everyone in the room heard it.

Seeing Shi Lei sitting on the stool with an embarrassed look on his face, what else could he say?

Li Haidong glanced at Li Meiqin and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to say it because Zhao Mei was staring at him.

Anyway, everything was fine. In the afternoon, Zhao Mei went to the warehouse to get meat, and Li Meiqin followed.

Seeing the half-tank of meat, she believed that Qin Hao and his wife were really developed.

Half a pig, how much does that cost? It cost dozens of dollars and was given away directly.

There are more than 400 black and white TVs in the town. This is a color TV, it must be 1000 less?

Thinking of this, she realized how rich Qin Hao's family was, and they couldn't compare to it anyway.

How much money does the town coal mine director’s family have? All people watch is black and white TV.

"Mom, isn't Qin Hao richer than our factory directors now?"

She has no idea about money, so she has no idea how much money other people have.

Zhao Mei looked back at her without saying a word. She closed the lid of the water tank, packed the things on her and went out.

Li Meiqin, who got no response, followed and asked again.

Zhao Mei stopped and said, "How do I know how much money he has? If he has money, he can't show me this, or can he spend it on me?"

This was not said in a good tone, I was a bit angry.

Li Meiqin said awkwardly: "I didn't say anything, why are you like this, Mom?"

Even if Zhao Mei didn't reply in the end, she didn't dare to ask anymore.

The two went back to the house to cut up the meat and then chop the stuffing to make dumplings.

Zhao Mei didn't bother to ask others what they were eating, so she could save Li Meiqin her troubles and just chopped sauerkraut and made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

"Mom, why don't you make other fillings? You've eaten enough sauerkraut in the past two days during the Chinese New Year." Li Meiqin only saw sauerkraut, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten so many vegetables at noon. In my husband's house, in addition to dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, they also make stewed sauerkraut. Although they are in the town, they eat the same things, which is just eating a few more meats.

Zhao Mei put down the kitchen knife and said coldly: "What do you want to eat? Buy the food and I'll cook it for you. We only have radish, sauerkraut and cabbage at home. What do you want to eat?"

"Anyone who doesn't eat pickled cabbage will be mad at you. It's up to you whether you like it or not."

Fortunately, I didn't ask anyone else, otherwise I wouldn't know how many things happened.

This kid is good at work and everything else, but he likes to be picky, and he is the same with his family. I really accept it.

Li Meiqin was choked and couldn't say a word, thinking in her heart, would it be different if Li Meiling asked?

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but that's what she thought.

Back in the house, she sat by the kang and asked, "Meiling, what kind of stuffing do you like to eat? Mom chops pickled cabbage to make dumplings."

Li Meiling was stunned when she heard this, then she cracked some melon seeds and replied, "Anything is fine, and I'm not picky about food. It's not like you don't know, sister, I'll eat anything."

She was not picky about food and loved to eat sauerkraut. She had a jar of sauerkraut at home, and Qin Hao basically ate too much because she didn't eat it.

Hearing what she said, Li Meiqin felt like she was asking for trouble and turned to watch TV.

Shi Lei really wants to leave here now, why doesn't he feel at home at all? I felt embarrassed.

Look at Li Meiqin, she has no eyesight at all, which is really annoying.

"Why are you always looking at me?" Li Meiqin suddenly looked at him and found that he had been looking this way.

"Nothing." Shi Lei turned away and looked at the TV.

The Spring Festival Gala is still playing on the TV. Even if I watch it several times, I still find it interesting.

Qin Hao couldn't help but feel sorry for Shi Lei. Why did he marry such a wife?

But this is everyone's choice, respect other people's fate...

The couple didn't leave at night. The mother-in-law's house had two kangs in the north and south. The men lived on the north kang and the women lived on the south kang. There was a place for the table in the middle.

Most families have this layout, with a dozen or so families living in open spaces. If there is a young couple, a curtain will be drawn in the middle.

That is to say, even if the line of sight is cut off, you can hear it even if you turn over.

Everyone didn't sleep well at night. They just listened to Li Meiqin talking about the unsatisfactory life, but she never mentioned the things she had done.

Shi Lei was awarded the title of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle today. He didn't say anything. He basically kept a dark face and couldn't get angry.

"Are you done yet? I heard you muttering there when I came here. If you want to stay, stay here. If you don't want to wait, go back quickly!" Li Lin was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore.

It was late at night, and he was shouting very loudly while sitting on the kang.

Everyone got up and looked at Li Meiqin.

"What's wrong with me!" Li Meiqin didn't realize it yet, she frowned and looked reasonable.

Li Lin stood up angrily, "It's your fault, get out of here if you can't stay! I'm used to you."

"Shi Lei, are you a piece of wood? Huh? I won't care if you beat me eight hundred times a day like this!"

That's what he said, but Shi Lei couldn't take it seriously.

He sat there without saying a word. This meant he was at his father-in-law's house. If he were at his own house, he would definitely have to curse.

Of course, Li Meiqin wouldn't dare to do it at home.

"Dad, I'm your girl, and you want someone to beat me?" Li Meiqin cried in grievance.

We don’t know if she is aggrieved or what.

"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly, there is no time to calm down every day. We are still noisy after the New Year!" Zhao Mei turned over angrily, facing the wall and couldn't say anything too harsh.

If Li Meiqin hadn't married, she would have shouted loudly.

Li Lin turned off the light and listened to the sound of sobbing. No one cared about her anyway.

The more you talk, the more enthusiastic you become, who dares to care?

When he got up the next morning, Qin Hao took the time to eat. Before Li Meiqin could leave, he heated up the car and left with his wife and brother-in-law.

"Mom, my brother-in-law is going to work there with me, and he will come back when he is fifteen." Qin Hao said yesterday that he would take the people away, and no one objected.

"That's okay. It doesn't matter if I don't come back until fifteen." Zhao Mei is not worried about Li Haidong now.

After all, not only does Qin Hao make money for others, but he also lets people drive cars, so he has face when it comes to public relations.

Of course, most people still think that the iron rice bowl is better, but where do so many iron rice bowls come from? It would still be nice if you have the money.

I said hello to them and drove away directly.

Li Meiqin watched the car getting further and further away, and then murmured: "You didn't even say you were going to give us a ride, we just left."

"Are you done yet?" Seeing that his father-in-law was not outside, Shi Lei gritted his teeth and stared at her fiercely.

This person is really clueless and has a lot to say, right?

Li Meiqin was startled suddenly, and when she came to her senses, she was furious, "What are you doing? Why are you so cruel to me! This is at my mother's house, do you think it's at yours?"

She thought she had a backer.

The old couple who heard the noise didn't even go out, so they pretended not to have heard it.

Anyway, Shi Lei wouldn't let it go like this when he went back. He also saw that even if he really took action to educate his wife, his father-in-law would not care.

It was already past eight o'clock when Qin Hao and the other two arrived at the Qin Family Fort.

In the house, Wang Dagui was sitting at the door lighting a fire. In the house, Qin Hong took her children and her second brother-in-law Zhou Wei.

"Second sister, happy New Year to my brother-in-law."

"happy New Year."

Everyone said New Year's greetings first, and then started talking.

"Why are you coming back so early? I thought you would be back at noon." Qin Hong took Li Meiling's hand and saw that her belly had indeed become much bigger.

In particular, Li Meiling is not fat, but her bulging belly is even more frightening.

"Forget it, are you going to have dinner here at noon?" Qin Hao didn't want to talk about his wife's family affairs. Isn't this exposing someone's wounds?

Besides, my wife’s brother-in-law is still here.

Qin Hong didn't ask any more questions. She thought for a while and said, "You can eat anywhere, we are free to do it."

Since it's casual, let's arrange to eat here. There are many people visiting the agency store these two days, so I won't eat there.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Qin Hao made a pot of tea and sat by the kang.

After Zhou Wei came to their house, he saw that the house was quite shabby, but the furnishings in the house were better than other houses in the city, and now he looked up to them.

"It's not bad, the work unit has always been like that, no change." After he finished speaking, he added: "I heard from your sister that you can make a lot of money by raising chickens and selling eggs. Have you ever thought about going to the city to develop?"

He wasn't saying something sinister, but he felt that Qin Hao might really have this ability. Opening a shop in the city to make money is not something ordinary people can do, but my brother-in-law can.

Qin Hao smiled and replied: "I think the countryside is very good, and you can make a lot of money. Development here is not bad."
