804 Chapter 804 Five Zero Miserable Sister-in-Law 37
Chapter 804: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (37)
As soon as I walked in, I was attracted by the big meat dish on the table.
"Yo! What dish is so fragrant?"
"Ouch! Is this chicken?"
"Yes." Xu's mother saw her son with a smile on her face, "Yin'er brought it back from the reclamation team, and she raised it herself."
"Raised by my little sister?" Xu Yong said in disbelief, "Do you have a yard there? Do you even have bran and broken rice to feed the chickens?"
These days, not every household can afford to raise chickens, ducks and geese.
Firstly, the yards are surrounded by bamboo fences, and some don't even have fences. If you raise chickens and ducks, it will be a loss if they fly out to find them and fail to come back. Secondly, there is nothing to feed them.
Especially in the lean spring, old grains have bottomed out and new grains have not yet arrived. Poor people even use bran and broken rice to make porridge. People are not full, so what should they feed the chickens and ducks?
Only families with extremely abundant labor can afford to raise chickens.
Xu Yin briefly talked about the situation on the land reclamation team.
But it didn’t mention the yields harvested by the reclamation team in the past two years and the rations distributed to the team members. If she knew that she had so much rations on hand, Xu’s mother would most likely complain about why she didn’t bring more.
I didn’t say that I raised a total of four chickens this year——
One of them was given to Cheng Shaojin's comrades. His comrades helped paint the dormitory where the two were stationed;
One steamed white chopped chicken and gave half of it to the captain. Xu Yin made the remaining half of the drunken chicken. It was not meaty in the beginning of spring. It was also delicious to eat with two pieces of drunken chicken;
There are two marinated chickens left, one is taken back to her parents' house, and the other is taken to her husband's house in a few days.
In short, based on her little understanding of the Xu family, it is definitely better to describe herself as poor than rich. Otherwise, she would have thought that her life in Beiguan was more comfortable. She didn't even think about it, all these grains and chickens were
How did it come about? If I tried it on someone else, not only would I not be able to eat the meat, but it would also be snatched away by a wolf.
Of course, she can't say she's too poor, otherwise her parents will think she's coming back to cause famine.
She didn't care if her family looked down upon her, but Comrade Xiaojin was the new son-in-law's first visit, so she couldn't embarrass him too much no matter what.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the smiles on the faces of Mr. Xu and his wife became a little more real.
Especially Sister-in-law Xu, who diligently served Cheng Shaojin with several chopsticks: "Xiao Cheng, don't just listen, eat more food! My mother's cooking skills are quite good, but it's a pity that there is nothing to eat at home, and even a clever woman doesn't like it."
It's hard to make a meal without rice. Thanks to you and my little sister, we can eat such delicious food today."
"Stop saying a few words, your saliva will splash into the dishes." Boss Xu complained, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, brother-in-law, I'll toast you a toast."
While drinking, I inquired about Cheng Shaojin’s family background.
When he learned that his parents worked both ways at Haicheng Power Plant, his joy was not enough to express his feelings at the moment.
I thought to myself that my little sister is really lucky! She can find a partner at random, and she is the son of two-income earners in the city.
How can conditions be so bad for a dual-income family? What’s more, it’s a dual-income family working in a power plant.
Electricity is a rare commodity that people in cities can afford.
In the countryside, let alone electric lights, kerosene lamps are reluctant to use. As soon as it gets dark, I eat dinner quickly and go to bed early.
"Hey!" Mr. Xu patted his thigh and said with emotion, "My little sister is very lucky! She married into a good family."
Maybe in the future, the old Xu family will have to rely on their younger sister to support them.
When the old couple of the Xu family learned that their son-in-law's family was in such good conditions, their attitude was much better than when they first arrived.
They were drinking wine and eating vegetables happily in the main room, and the conversation was all about Xu Yin. Xu Cui was angry and aggrieved in the back room. Do you really want to stop asking her to go out for dinner?
I don’t even think about how many times Xu’s mother called her, but every time she yelled away with tears in her eyes.
Xu's mother always puts her son first. When her son's family comes over, dinner must be served. The eldest daughter refuses to go out to eat, so she will leave a few bites of food for her to eat in the room later.
In this way, until the sky completely darkened and it was time to light the oil lamp, Xu's mother suddenly thought of her eldest daughter in the back room and slapped her thigh: "Oh, look at my memory! I forgot to bring food to Cui'er, I'm afraid she will
So hungry!"
Sister-in-law Xu said in surprise: "My eldest sister is at home? Then why doesn't she come out to eat?"
"..."
Xu's mother looked embarrassed, pretended not to hear, turned around and went to the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Xu turned around and asked Xu Yin: "What's going on? My eldest sister is at home, why didn't she come out to greet you? Did you two have a quarrel?"
Xu Yin shrugged: "She blamed me for never coming home, causing my three nephews to be put up for adoption."
"She's out of her mind! What does it have to do with you to send the child to foster care? If you really want to blame her, she should be blamed first. In the next turn, it will be you and Lao Tian's family. Who will get you! Really!" Sister-in-law Xu whispered towards the back room.
He spat, "I'm not saying that it's much better to put a child up for adoption than to raise a child by herself. One day when I went back to my parents' home, I passed by the house where my nephew was adopted. The relationship between the couple has always been very good. The only regret is that they don't have a child.
The child now has a nephew, who laughs and laughs every day. The child is living a good life in their home. He used to be stiff and thin, but now he is much fatter."
Xu Yin asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, the triplets were raised by families close to us?"
"Yes, the farthest one is the next town. When I go back to my parents' house, I pass by their door."
Xu Yin was even more surprised. In this case, since Xu Cui couldn't bear to part with her and didn't want to raise her on her own, she could have secretly visited them, as if they were separated by life and death.
Sister-in-law Xu talked about the situation of the three families.
Except for the family she just mentioned, which is a loving couple who have been married for many years and cannot have children, the other two families are all extremely wealthy. In the final analysis, they are all for the purpose of continuing the family line.
Xu Yin saw Xu's mother coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice, and seemed to be putting some chopsticks on the rice to give to Xu Cui.
She gave each of the men who had not finished their meal a piece of chicken, and the last piece of leg meat was given to Boss Xu, thanking him for not listening to Xu Cui's words and leaving the village to seek her favor.
When Xu's mother saw that there was only one chicken butt left, and the chicken legs were in her son's bowl, she said nothing, picked up the chicken butt, added two chopsticks of mushrooms, and brought it in for Xu Cui to eat.
Sure enough, after a while, Xu Cui complained in disgust from the back room: "Why is it just one piece? Or a chicken butt?"
Xu’s mother: “The chicken butt is so fat, it’s no worse than the meat of the leg.”
"..."
Cheng Shaojin glanced at his wife with a smile and gave her the chicken wings in the bowl: "You haven't eaten much yourself, so hurry up and eat."
That night, because Xu Cui occupied the room shared by the two sisters, and Cheng Shaojin was unwilling to separate from her and stay at Mr. Xu's house, both of them had no place to sleep, so Xu Yin built an old door panel in the main room and squeezed in with him.
Just a one night stay.
"How about we leave for your house tomorrow?" Xu Yin asked for his opinion before falling asleep.
"I can do it." Cheng Shaojin tightened his arms to hug her, and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Did you go to the reclamation team because you were unhappy in this family? In the future, if I don't want to come back, we
Just celebrate the New Year at my own home.”
"..."
This guy has been silent all night, what has he been thinking about?
"You are overthinking! I joined the reclamation team simply because I wanted to contribute to the breadbasket of the motherland. After all, you have seen that I am very powerful."
While talking, I pinched the flesh on his waist, yo, his abdominal muscles are pretty good.
"That's a modest statement, Comrade Xu Yin." His voice was like a subwoofer, and he chuckled hoarsely, "No one can match your strength so far."
Her waist and abdomen felt a little itchy when she touched him. In order to prevent the gun from misfiring, I quickly held her little hand that was causing trouble.
"Stop moving, little ancestor. If you do, I'm afraid the bed will collapse."
"Pfft..."
Xu Yin buried herself in his arms and laughed silently.
"That's it." His hot breath hit her ears, making her want to shiver. "We'll leave tomorrow! My parents helped us decorate our new house, with independent rooms, thick curtains, and solid curtains.
Canopy bed, you can do whatever you want when the time comes."
