70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 97
After Wu Lihua finished speaking, she handed a bowl full of meat to Xie Xiaonian.

When Xie Xiaobao heard that his mother gave Xie Xiaonian the bowl with the most meat, and saw that the bowl he was holding was full of mushrooms, and he couldn't see the meat at all, how could he hold back, and quickly said: "Mom, I want to The one that eats the most meat, give me that bowl, and mine for Second Sister."

Hearing this, Wu Lihua glared at Xie Xiaobao and said: "Eat your meal, this pheasant is given by your second sister-in-law's family. If you don't let your second sister eat this bowl with the most meat, next time your second sister-in-law's family won't take it." Here comes the pheasant."

When Xie Xiaobao heard this, he didn't dare to ask for Xie Xiaonian's bowl of food, and quickly said: "Second sister, you can eat it, I can eat mushrooms, and mushrooms also taste like meat."

Seeing that Xie Xiaobao didn't change, Wu Lihua smiled and boasted: "Xiaobao is really sensible!"

Then he said to Xie Xiaonian: "Xiao Nian, the whole family can eat meat today, thanks to your husband's family, after all, this pheasant has some firewood, you have time to ask, see if you can replace it with other oil and water next time A lot of meat, preferably pork, your father and Dabao like to eat fatty pork the most."

"I usually work at home, how can I meet people from the Xu family? If you want meat, you can go get it yourself, as long as you are not afraid of losing my father's face." Xie Xiaonian didn't care about Wu Lihua's face after speaking , carrying the bowl and the cornbread and went back to the house.

Wu Lihua looked at Xie Xiaonian's back and cursed inwardly.

It's been a long time for Xie's father these two days to stop being cold-faced towards her. How dare she go to Xu's house to ask for meat and embarrass Xie's father. Isn't this looking for scolding!

After everyone else's dishes were finished, Wu Lihua took her own and Xie's father's bowls and went to look for Xie's father outside the gate.

"Father Dabao, it's time to eat." After finishing speaking, Wu Lihua quickly handed the one with the most meat and the largest bowl to Father Xie.

"Why don't you eat meat." Father Xie said, looking at the dishes in Wu Lihua's bowl.

"I'll just eat vegetables. Vegetables with oil and water are also delicious. Just leave the meat to you and the children. You are the labor force of the family, and the whole family depends on you. You should eat more good ones. The children are still growing, and they need to eat more good food, so that they will not grow taller in the future, which makes people laugh. And I am so old, what kind of meat do I still eat, it is a waste." Wu Lihua pretended to be special Said selflessly.

"The children are still young, and there will be more opportunities to eat meat in the future. And there are two chickens today. There are so many chickens, and they can't finish them. You should also go and serve some, and also have a tooth-making sacrifice."

At this time, Father Xie felt that although Wu Lihua was a bit out of tune in doing things sometimes, she was really good to herself and the children from the bottom of her heart.

Recalling that she was reluctant to eat any delicious food at home, Father Xie's tone of voice to Wu Lihua became much gentler.

At this time, Father Xie had forgotten how much he hated Wu Lihua before.

"It's okay, that's all. I haven't worked at noon, so I'm not hungry! You can eat, I'll go and see Xiaobao and the others." After speaking, Wu Lihua took her bowl and walked to the shade on the other side.

Xie Xiaobao is currently in the shade, eating and greedy for a group of children in the village.

Seeing a group of children in the village staring eagerly at the meat in his bowl, gulping down his saliva, he felt that he had more face.

As Wu Lihua walked over, on the one hand, she was afraid that Xie's father would see the meat covered under her bowl, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Xie Xiaobao would distribute the meat in the bowl to the children in the village.

And here, Xie Xiaonian sneered a few times as he looked at the dishes in his bowl after returning to the house.

It's just Wu Lihua's usual trick to pretend to be virtuous in front of Xie's father.

The bowl I gave myself looked like it was full of meat from the top, but in fact there was meat on the top layer, and it was full of chicken heads, necks, and feet, but the bottom was actually vegetables.

In the bowl Wu Lihua gave herself and other children, although the top looked like vegetables, the bottom of the vegetables was actually covered with meat, and what she thought was good meat with few bones.

In the past, as long as there was something delicious to eat at home, Wu Lihua would serve food in these two ways.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaonian stirred it with chopsticks, and sure enough, the bottom of the bowl was full of vegetables, only a few pieces of chicken neck, one chicken head and two chicken feet were considered meat in the whole bowl.

And because they have a custom here, it is said that if girls eat chicken wings, they will become ingenious when they grow up, and they can fly on branches and become phoenixes, so although the chicken wings don't have much meat, they are all eaten by Li Zhi and Xie Xiaoye Yes, it can't reach Xiao Nian's bowl.

Otherwise, Xie Xiaonian's bowl would have been collected. In this era, people don't like to eat anything more than bones, without any greasy food.

Although Wu Lihua did this on purpose, she didn't want her to eat meat, but it happened that Xie Xiaonian's favorite food was head, claws, and neck, so it fit her appetite.

In this era of lack of oil and salt, there is no seasoning, so although Wu Lihua has cooked rice for so many years, the taste of this chicken is really ordinary.

If it wasn't for the meatiness, Xie Xiaonian really wouldn't be able to eat this dish made by Wu Lihua.

However, Xie's family doesn't see meat all day long, and Wu Lihua is not willing to put oil in the cooking, so no matter how poorly Wu Lihua cooks, other people will think it is very fragrant.

While Xie Xiaonian was eating, she began to miss the marinated chicken offal in her space, it was still delicious enough made by herself.

But at this moment, she can only think about it, the chicken giblets she marinated is really delicious, she dare not take it out now, she should wait until she enters the space at night to eat.

After eating, Xie Xiaonian didn't go out immediately, lest Wu Lihua think she was going to eat a second bowl.

And now she misses the lo mei on the mountain a little bit, so she wants to save her stomach to eat on the mountain.The most important thing is the food cooked by Wu Lihua, she really doesn't want to eat another bowl.

But other people are different, because there is meat in the dish today, and Wu Lihua stewed two pheasants at once, so except for Xie Xiaonian, everyone else filled another bowl after eating the first bowl, and they were all there. But he ate hard against his stomach, for fear that if he ate less, it would be cheaper for others.

In the afternoon, Xie Xiaonian went up the mountain as usual, probably because the wedding date had already been set, when he saw Xu Zhongjun again, Xie Xiaonian felt that he seemed to be showing up again, the shyness of his youngest daughter.

"Xiao Nian, after I return to the army, I will file a marriage report. At that time, I will also apply for a house to accompany the army. After getting married, you can go directly to the army with me!" Xu Zhongjun looked at Xie Xiaonian and said expectantly .

"I'm only 16 years old, not yet 18. Can you make a marriage report?" Now the legal age for marriage for women is 18.

"It doesn't matter, the army is not as strict as the card. Those of us who are soldiers are not at home all year round. If we can find a wife, the leaders are very happy. As long as there is no problem with the composition, it will be fine. They will not be stuck with such insignificant things. For trivial matters, as long as you agree." Xu Zhongjun said firmly.

Not to mention not being stuck, even if it is stuck, he has a way to solve it.

"Yes! I agree!" Xie Xiaonian nodded in response.

"Really, that's great!" Xu Zhongjun stepped forward excitedly, hugged Xie Xiaonian, and turned around several times before he was willing to let go.

Originally, Xie Xiaonian was still wondering if he was a little too quick in agreeing and not reserved enough.

But seeing Xu Zhongjun's excited look, Xie Xiaonian felt that he was too hypocritical, the wedding date was fixed, isn't it normal to go with the army, he has nothing to worry about.

However, the two of them who were happily looking forward to a bright future at this time did not expect that there is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes.

Before going down the mountain at night, Xu Zhongjun said to Xie Xiaonian: "There is a person in our production team who gets married the day after tomorrow. I will go to his house to help, so I can't come to the mountain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You don't go up the mountain these two days, you know?"

"Well, okay, don't worry! Let's go and clean up the things in the cave now, and take away what should be taken away, especially those lo-mei. Don't come up for two days, because things are broken!" Knowing that Xu Zhongjun would be worried Himself, so Xie Xiaonian planned not to go up the mountain for these two days.

And Xu Zhongjun's observation skills are so good, Xie Xiaonian can't guarantee that if he goes up the mountain secretly, he can hide it from him, it's better to be on the safe side.

If he secretly went up the mountain and was discovered, Xu Zhongjun would not let him go up the mountain in the future, that would be bad.

When Xie Xiaonian went home to cook in the evening, she saw that half of the dishes left at noon were gone. She put them in the pot before leaving at noon, and planned to eat them hot at night. It seemed that Wu Lihua or Li Zhi secretly served them gone.

Since there were no leftovers for lunch, Xie Xiaonian decided to cook as before.

Because Xu Zhongjun was promised not to go up the mountain, Xie Xiaonian didn't go up the mountain the next morning, and only cut pigweed and wild vegetables by the river.

Because the river was closer to home, and Xie Xiaonian had no place to go at noon, so after finishing the pigweed, Xie Xiaonian rested by the river for a while, and then went home with a basket on his back.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian arrived at the door of the house, she could smell the aroma of rice. Now that she is not tired from work, why doesn't she eat lunch at home?

With doubts, Xie Xiaonian walked into the yard. When Xie Xiaonian walked to the door of the kitchen, she saw Wu Lihua and her children huddled in the kitchen and secretly eating. What they ate was exactly what they ate at noon yesterday. Leftovers.

They obviously didn't expect Xie Xiaonian to come back suddenly, they usually don't eat lunch at home, Xie Xiaonian would not come back until the afternoon cooking time, so at this moment, everyone looked at Xie Xiaonian in surprise.

Wu Lihua is still more experienced, just stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "Xiao Nian, you are back, Xiao Bao is clamoring for meat, so I reheated the leftovers from yesterday, you and your father's share , I’ll keep it in the pot for you, thinking I’ll eat it when you come back tonight, since you’re back now, let’s eat some too!”

Because he didn't eat at noon, Xie's father would go outside after work at noon, playing cards and chatting with the villagers, waiting for work in the afternoon, and not going home.
