It was nothing to Su Yi to let the neighbor's children eat some meat. He just noticed that compared to the plump Bangjian, Xiaodang and Huaihua were a little sallow and thin.
Of course, most children these days are sallow and thin, and Bangge is a different kind.
The two little girls were very cute, and Su Yi felt pity for them, so he invited them to his house to eat meat.
But if the stick is there, then Su Yi will not be taken advantage of.
Su Yi didn't care, but Yu Li felt sorry for Su Yi.
Seeing Su Yi serving a large spoonful of stew to each of the two children, her heart twitched.
This prodigal!
"Just give them one bowl and let them take it back to eat. Why give them two bowls?" Yu Li still couldn't help but said angrily, "I'm not as generous as you in showing kindness."
"If you don't let them take it back," Su Yi shook his head, put the bowl on the table, and took out the chopsticks, "How much can they eat if you take it back?"
Xiaodang and Huaihua could no longer keep their eyes off the steaming and fragrant stew.
Hearing Su Yi speak, Xiaodang nodded excitedly: "Uncle Yuanchao, you know our family so well! If this meat is brought back, Huaihua and I will eat two pieces each at most!"
"Don't eat two pieces of Sophora japonica! Eat all the Sophora japonica!" The little Sophora japonica had already walked to the bowl involuntarily, reaching out to pinch the meat in the bowl.
Before Su Yi could stop him, Huaihua was dragged back by Xiaodang.
"I haven't said thank you yet, so I'm not allowed to eat it!" The little boy scolded him like an adult, and swallowed his saliva after saying that.
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan Chao, for treating me to meat!" Xiao Huaihua said to Su Yi impatiently.
"Thank you for helping me, uncle." Xiao Dang also said hurriedly.
"Eat it, don't burn it." Su Yi said with a smile, "You can go back after eating."
The two little girls no longer had any doubts. They hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put them into their mouths. They were so hot that they gasped and refused to slow down.
Yu Li looked at the two children, and then at Su Yi who showed a fatherly smile. She was inexplicably touched and said, "I didn't expect that you, a young man, really like children."
"I don't like Bangeng." Su Yi said without hesitation, "If he were here, no one would be able to eat this meat."
After a pause, he turned around and asked, "Is Brother Jiecheng back?"
"I should be back at this point." Yu Li replied.
In fact, the two of them had met before. When Yan Jiecheng came back, he smelled the smell of meat and guessed that his wife was cooking here. He came in, but was turned away by Yu Li.
What's going on if the owner of the house is not here and the two outsiders are staying at his house?
Yan Jiecheng wanted to secretly bring the bowl of meat back, but Yu Li refused.
The third aunt had already shamelessly come over to take away a small bowl. If she takes it again, do you really think that Su Yuanchao is a fool and can't see it?
However, the third aunt hid the meat very well, and Yan Jiecheng didn't notice it when he went back.
"Then ask him to come over." Su Yi said, "Sister-in-law, please take the rest of the dishes and sit down. Let's start dinner."
"Hey." Yu Li responded with a smile, "Then I'll call you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
After Li went out, Xiaodang had already finished her bowl of stew.
The stew made by Yu Li is really good. The potatoes and meat look attractive in color and taste very soft and melt in your mouth. The gravy is thick and fragrant.
Xiaodang still wanted to eat after eating a bowl. He stared at the pot on the stove with longing.
Su Yi said with a smile: "Don't overeat. If you are a vegetarian, eating too much meat at once will easily hurt your stomach and intestines. Accumulation of food will be bad."
Xiaodang said: "Uncle Yuanchao, you are different from Uncle Silly."
"Why is it different?" Su Yi asked.
"Uncle Yuanchao looks beautiful!" Huaihua interrupted and shouted.
"You can't call a man handsome, he's called handsome." Xiaodang corrected, and then said seriously: "Uncle Silly may be fine, but like my grandma and my mother, he is only good to my brother, and Huaihua and I are just there for him.
You are the only one who is really good to me and Huaihua."
"Mom, no!" Huaihua interrupted again.
"It's the same for mom. In my heart, brother is the most important thing! Last time, my brother and I were beaten by Wang Xiaohu from the next door yard. Mom only asked whether brother was hurt, not me...and you, you were with me before
When my brother got into the water and his clothes got wet, my mother changed her clothes first, fearing that he would get cold. There was also that time..."
Xiao Dangyi talked about a lot of things, all very small things in life.
To be honest, Su Yi was a little surprised.
How old is she?
But she remembers many things and understands them all.
For children, adults are their sky. Whether it is sunny or rainy, maybe they can see it more clearly than adults.
"From now on, you two can come here to play whenever you have nothing to do." Su Yi said with a smile, "But don't bring your brother with you."
"Yeah, we won't take him!" Xiao Dang nodded hurriedly.
At this time Sophora japonica had also finished eating, and her little mouth was oily.
"Okay, let's go back." Su Yi said, "Uncle wants to invite others to dinner, so I won't keep you here. You are welcome to come again next time."
Su Yi's statement made Xiaodang very happy. After saying goodbye to Su Yi happily, he led his sister away.
The two of them walked home, chatting and discussing along the way.
"That meat is so delicious, second sister, Huaihua has never eaten so much meat in her life!"
"Potatoes are the most fragrant. They are crunchy and delicious."
The two young ladies walked to the door laughing and talking, and heard the cry of their brother inside.
"I want to eat meat! I don't want to eat steamed buns! I want to eat meat!"
"My dear grandson, this is not an ordinary steamed bun, it's a lard steamed bun. It's delicious." Mrs. Jia Zhang said flatteringly, "If you don't believe me, try it. Grandma won't lie to you."
"I don't! I won't!"
"Hey kid, don't throw it on the ground if you don't want to eat it..."
Xiaodang wiped his sister's mouth and then led her through the door.
"Grandma, we are back."
Banggen was sitting angrily by the kang, while Mrs. Jia Zhang was blowing on a steamed bun.
"Yeah." Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't even turn her head, but she smiled at BangGeng again and said, "My dear grandson, would you like to take a small sip?"
"I won't eat it!" Banggeng angrily knocked the bun away again.
"You'll starve to death if you don't eat!" Ms. Jia Zhang was also angry.
The steamed bun happened to be rolled under Huaihua's feet, so Huaihua picked it up and ran over to hand it to Jia Zhang.
Mrs. Jia Zhang took it away angrily and said, "This steamed bun is for your brother. Just wait and eat the rice porridge in the pot. I've already heated it up."
"We don't eat rice porridge, we have eaten it." Sophora japonica said in a milky voice.
"Have you eaten?" Jia Zhang looked at Sophora japonica suspiciously.
"Sophora japonica, don't say that!" Xiao Dang stamped her foot anxiously.
Sophora japonica immediately covered her mouth.
But Jia Zhang still discovered the clues.
"Where did the oil on your mouth come from?" she asked sternly, pulled Sophora japonica's hand away, sniffed it close to her nose, and said in surprise: "You are eating meat!"
"It smells so good!" said the little Sophora japonica.
"Where to eat?" Jia Zhang asked hurriedly, "Is it at the prodigal son's house?"
"He is an uncle who aids the imperial family, not a prodigal son." Sophora japonica corrected him.
"I say a prodigal is a prodigal!" Jia Zhang scolded, "Okay, you heartless loser, why don't you eat meat without thinking about your brother? Why don't you call you brother?"
"Don't my brother have a grudge against someone else?" Xiao Dang muttered, "He wanted to come back first..."
"I have no grudge against Rou!" Banggeng was also very angry, "Can't you bring it back to me!"
"If someone doesn't let you take it, let's eat it at his house." Xiao Dang said.
"Then you won't take it secretly!" Banggeng said angrily, "Grandma is right, you are just feeding unfamiliar losers!"
Xiaodang looked at her brother in surprise. This was the first time he said that to her.
Her mouth tightened and she burst into tears with a cry of "Wow".
"You still have the nerve to cry? Are you wrong?" Mrs. Jia Zhang's face turned livid, "Is it true that you have been raised for nothing and you are living alone? I, I can't beat you to death, you are a white-eyed wolf!"
After saying that, he turned around to find the broom.
When Xiaodang saw it, he was so frightened that he ran out in a hurry.
But Banggeng hated her for not bringing meat to him, so he stopped Xiaodang first.
"Grandma, beat her!" Banggeng shouted.
"Let go of the second sister!" Huaihua rushed up to push Banggeng, but was pushed to the ground by Banggeng, and started crying loudly.
Here Jia Zhang found a broom, rushed over, grabbed Xiaodang's arm, and beat Xiaodang on the butt. The beating made Xiaodang cry for father and mother, begging for mercy and saying that he would never dare to do it again.
Banggeng said proudly: "That's right! I let you eat meat without taking me with you! I have no conscience. I take you with me whatever I have to eat, and you still don't take me with you?"
The Jia family in the middle courtyard is in a state of chaos, but Su Yi's family in the front yard is peaceful.
Yu Li took Yan Jiecheng into the house. Yan Jiecheng was smiling all over his face and was very polite to Su Yi. He kept saying mean compliments and glanced at the meat in the pot from time to time.
"Brother Yuan Chao, thank you so much. Not only did you work for my wife, but you also treated us two to such a good meal. Really, you are so polite!" Yan Jiecheng said, holding Su Yi's hand.
Su Yi laughed and said: "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Sister-in-law Yu Li helps me cook, and it is also inseparable from your understanding and support, brother Xiecheng. It is not easy for me to live alone, so I have to thank you. I should have invited you
You two went out to eat to show your solemnity, but today's lunch is the first time my family has started cooking. I thought it would be more intimate to eat at home, and it is also a good sign that the cooking stove is turned on, so I arranged to have it at home. The food is not rich enough.
Please bear with me, but with sister-in-law Yu Li’s craftsmanship, the taste will definitely be the same.”
After saying this, Yan Jiecheng felt his face light up and even felt flattered.
"That's great, brother Yuan Korea. I'm not afraid of your jokes. This is the first time in my life that someone has invited us two to dinner, and the food was so good..." Yan Jiecheng said excitedly.
Yu Li coughed slightly, and Yan Jiecheng immediately looked at her and shut up.
Yu Li smiled and said: "Yuan Chao, you and Jie Cheng sit down first, and I'll put out the meat and you eat it first. There are three more dishes that I'll cook soon."
"Excuse me, sister-in-law." Su Yi nodded and said to Yan Jiecheng, "Brother Jiecheng, let's sit down and chat first?"
"Sit, sit, chat! Let's chat!" Yan Jiecheng responded excitedly.
Yu Li calmly pinched Yan Jiecheng, who immediately straightened his back and coughed twice and became serious.
Su Yi pretended not to see it and said, "Brother Jie Cheng, can you have a drink?"
"I..." Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li with a look of emotion.
"He has to go to work in the afternoon, so he can't drink." Yu Li said.
Su Yi smiled: "Then drink two less drinks."
After that, he turned around and went to the back room and quickly took out a bottle of wine.
The wine was Moutai, which cost eight yuan a bottle. Su Yi bought three bottles.
Before Su Yi came out, Yu Li silently warned Yan Jiecheng not to drink.
But when he saw the wine Su Yi brought out, Yan Jiecheng's eyes immediately straightened!
Moutai!
It’s actually Moutai!
He has never drunk or smelled such good wine!
But now, he actually has the opportunity to taste it for himself!
"Daughter-in-law, I..." Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li longingly, "How about I... drink less?"
Before Yu Li could say anything, Su Yi smiled and said: "Drink less, so as not to delay work in the afternoon! Sister-in-law, you can also drink some later to see how this wine tastes. Let's drink as we please. We don't want to persuade you to drink. Let's drink happily.
That’s fine.”
When Yu Li saw what Su Yi said, she no longer objected and said with a smile: "Then drink less. You understand that my eldest brother has a small capacity for drinking. If he drinks too much, he will easily make a fool of himself."
"No matter what, you are not an outsider." Su Yi smiled and opened the wine, then went to the chest of drawers and took out three wine glasses to fill them up. He picked up the wine glass and said to Yan Jie Cheng: "Brother Jie Cheng, I am young, I respect you
You, let’s go first?”
"No, no, no, no, I respect you. Thank you for inviting me to drink such a fine wine." Yan Jiecheng hurriedly picked up the cup and stood up.
Su Yi also stood up and clinked glasses with him with a smile, the rim of the glass was even with his.
"After the first glass of wine, we celebrate and we become neighbors. From now on, our two families often move around and take care of each other. Come on, let's become big brothers, let's do it!"
After drinking the first glass, Yan Jiecheng smashed the bar and was thinking about how to praise the wine. Su Yi had already filled him up with another glass of wine.
"Good things come in pairs, let's have another drink!" Su Yi smiled and touched it, drinking it all in one gulp.
"Hey, hey!" Yan Jiecheng also drank hastily.
After drinking, the two of them sat down again. Su Yi poured the wine and said: "Brother Xie Cheng, I have to go out to do errands in the afternoon, so we only have this bottle of wine. What do you think? Let's have some fun some other time. Let's order it today.
until."
"I listen to you, I listen to you." Yan Jiecheng has never talked about it since he came in. "But to support Korea, I have to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and I will give you two glasses in return!"
"Not counting in return, we two brothers drank together." Su Yi smiled and picked up the wine glass.
Yu Li, who was cooking, looked at this scene and burst into tears.
This is the first time in so many years that my husband is so happy.
She knew that it was not because there was meat to eat, nor was it because there was good wine to drink.
It was because it was the first time he was respected so much.
She hurriedly wiped away her tears with her back on her back, then took out the stew from the pot and brought it to the table.
"You two are just going to drink together like this? You're waiting for me to put the food on the table before you start drinking!" Yu Li said angrily, "Really, what's the hurry?"
"I'm happy, wife, I'm very happy today!" Yan Jiecheng took Yu Li's hand, "Daughter-in-law, you will join me no matter what you say later, and the two of us will toast someone who came to aid Korea! Thank him!
"
"Okay, it's up to you." Yu Li said with a smile, "Then I have to finish frying the vegetables."
"Go quickly, go quickly!" Yan Jiecheng said cheerfully. He turned to Su Yi and said: "Your sister-in-law's cooking is delicious, just stay at my house, there is no use for it! Alas, you have just arrived to aid Korea, so you may not know
Let me tell you about our family situation..."
Yan Jiecheng's words were actually a little garbled, but Su Yi didn't interrupt him and just listened to him with a smile.
