However, the children were well behaved and did not act like wolves or tigers just because they had not eaten meat for a long time.
They waited patiently for Grandma Su to get on the kang, and then patiently waited for the elders to get started. Then they let out a whimper and started grabbing pancakes together.
There are several brothers, one is faster than the other, and each of them holds two in his hand.
The adults at the main table watched and couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, they felt sad again.
Grandma Su murmured in a low voice: "It's a shame that I cooked three kilograms of meat, otherwise there wouldn't be enough for these wolf cubs to eat!"
Three kilograms of meat is not much. If more than a dozen people eat it, one person can only taste it. It is said to be a meat pie, but in fact most of the filling is leeks.
But even leeks, after being moistened with oil and water, taste different from usual.
It is a rare delicacy for the old Su family who have not seen oil and water for a long time.
The whole family was very happy after eating, and the atmosphere at home was unprecedentedly good.
After all, even during the Chinese New Year, I never eat so much meat in one meal.
During the Chinese New Year last year, the family shared more than 20 kilograms of meat. Su Manxiang came twice in three days, insisting on hard work, and took away ten kilograms in total.
After the remaining bit of meat is boiled in oil, there is nothing left.
In the end, I had no choice but to make the Chinese New Year dumplings made from oily cabbage.
"Mom, what we eat today is better than the Chinese New Year!" Su Mancang, the boss, took a meat pie, took a bite, and spoke.
After saying this, the adults in the family were stunned.
Then I remembered, where does the meat at home come from?
"Mom, where does the meat come from?" Su Laoer suddenly asked this question in a dull voice for a while.
The children were still busy eating the meatloaf, but the adults couldn't eat any more. They stared at Grandma Su eagerly, trying to find an answer.
They all knew what was going on at home, so why did they suddenly have meat to eat?
Grandma Su threw her chopsticks on the table with a snap and said angrily:
"Isn't eating meat cakes enough to stop your mouths? You just need to eat meat if it's available. Why do you care so much?"
After scolding her sons, Grandma Su couldn't help but said: "If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten them for you, and all these meat cakes would have been left for my dear baby to eat!"
She had no way to answer this question, and she couldn't answer it, so she might as well just be domineering! To prevent similar things from happening.
All she knows is that she can never put Tiantian in danger at any time.
In fact, Su Laosan thought about this problem when he went to buy meat today. The meat tickets at home came a bit unexpectedly.
But his mother didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask. He had been holding it in all afternoon.
Now the second brother asked, but my mother didn't answer anything. Instead, she started to curse. He knew that he couldn't ask.
Grandpa Su looked at the old woman who was angry for no reason. He looked at her curiously, but did not speak. He only asked his son and wives to eat meat pie.
"You should take the time to eat. After eating, you still have to work!"
No matter what kind of secret it is, if the old lady doesn't tell it, it means she doesn't want more people to know.
The son and daughter-in-law didn't speak any more, but started eating quietly.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious with the sound of everyone chewing.
"Nai, let's go to the cowshed later to thank Brother Chi. Can we get a pound of sugar and some meat cakes?"
Su Xiaotian ate a meatloaf and that was enough. She touched her belly and spoke appropriately, thus resolving the awkwardness at the dinner table.
"Okay, let your father take you there later. I saved your life, but it's a great kindness. Old man, we still have a few old pumpkins in our family, how about you take one with you?"
Food is undoubtedly precious, and Grandma Su didn't dare to make any suggestions, so she asked Grandpa Su for advice.
Grandpa Su nodded: "Yes, we want to repay gratitude!"
If it hadn't been for that boy from the Chi family, it's not sure whether or not my little granddaughter would have been born.
The old woman is willing to take out these grains to prove that the family can afford them.
Although the Chi family has a bad background, they have not done anything bad in the village over the years, and have actually helped a lot of people.
The people in the village were quite kind to the Chi family. Occasionally, some people would look down on it and secretly send some food to the Chi family for relief. However, they didn't have enough to eat at home, so they didn't send it.
This time, I should express my gratitude no matter what, just go secretly at night so that no one can see me.
"Third brother, let's go too." Grandpa Su said again.
Su Laosan hurriedly responded.
Although the family felt distressed when they heard that so much food was being sent, they thought about the fact that the life of the only daughter of the Su family was saved by someone else, so that was all.
Su Xiaotian sipped her sweet potato noodle soup and suddenly remembered that Kang Rende saw her own meat seller today.
The Kang family, including my aunt Su Manxiang, all have the same virtues. If they see someone good, they will definitely rush over!
Maybe, early tomorrow morning, Su Manxiang will go back to her parents' house to ask for meat and sugar.
"Milk, these meat pies have to be finished tonight, and someone will come to snatch them tomorrow!"
"Rob? Who dares to rob?" Grandma Su said in a cold voice: "Who dares to come, the old lady will sweep them out with a big broom..."
At this time, Liu Xiuying's voice was suddenly heard from the yard: "Hey, what are you eating today? I can smell the fragrance of your yard from three miles away!"
Liu Xiuying's typical style is that the voice arrives before the person arrives.
The people in the room looked at each other, how could they not know that Liu Xiuying was here and there was no good preparation.
Is this because of the smell?
Grandma Su calmly directed her eldest grandson and eldest daughter-in-law to hide the pot of meat pie, and then said loudly: "It turns out that his second aunt is here! What are you doing standing in the yard?"
She also didn't forget to take a look at her little granddaughter. Why was the baby so fussy? She just said that someone was snatching the meat cakes, and this person came to the yard.
"Sister-in-law, I smell the smell of meat in your house!" Liu Xiuying came in, followed by two boys and a girl.
The girl is Su Xiaoqin, and the two boys are Su Xiaoqin's cousins. Unlike Su Xiaoqin's clothes, which are shabby but neat and clean, the clothes of these two children are dirty and have snot bubbles in their noses.
The old Su family was having dinner, and when they saw such a disgusting thing coming in, they were so sick that they couldn't eat anymore.
"It smells like meat. I just wiped the bottom of the pot with lard. There has been no oil and water for a long time, and the old iron pot at home is almost rusty!" Grandma Su said calmly.
This sister-in-law, if she has any good things, she will definitely want to take some of them back.
If she saw the meat pie, she would not be able to keep any of it, and she would not stop eating until her stomach was full!
"It doesn't smell like it, it smells more like chive meatloaf." Liu Xiuying looked unbelieving.
She walked around the room and sniffed around, her eyes darting around for fear of missing any place, but found nothing.
But she just refused to believe it and only looked at Grandma Su suspiciously.
Grandma Su was so angry!
"I made a lard and leek pancake, and you smelled it? Are you a dog?" Grandma Su cursed angrily.
