The moment he saw a circle of people surrounding the bed, he was actually a little dizzy.
"Old lady, why are you back? Aren't you taking care of your daughter?" His eyes turned around and finally settled on Chen Mei's face.
Why is my daughter back?
Chen Mei was immediately furious. She wanted to reach out and hit him like before, but she looked away after considering the injuries on his body.
"You damn old man, you have the nerve to ask. If it weren't for you, would my daughter and I have been able to go through this much?"
Jing Jing caught the hand that raised the corner of her mouth. Her mother's mouth felt like a knife, but in fact she still felt sorry for her father.
"Dad, don't listen to mom's nonsense. We were originally going to come back for a visit."
Chen Yongchang didn't take what Chen Mei said to heart at all. The couple had three more children together over the years.
The meat dishes are all too boring, so the rice needs to be paired with some greens to make it more delicious.
When they walked to the door of her house, they discovered that the smell of meat was coming from inside her house!
I remembered that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the market today. With my sister-in-law’s delicious personality, she would definitely buy meat!
The first thing she bought was two old hens, intending to keep them for her father to make soup to replenish his health.
On the way, she held her husband Chen Ming and whispered in a low voice: "You said that my father will not be able to work in the future like this. Mom still has to take care of him. Aren't all the jobs in this land from now on ours?"
Why didn't she think of it?
She thinks this arrangement is very reasonable.
"Then what else can you do?" Chen Ming was a little irritated.
An Jing opened the door without thinking too much: "Then go quickly."
At this time, Jing Jing and Chen Mei had arrived at Jishang.
Chen Guang and Liu Zhen didn't have any objections. The grass in the field hadn't been pulled out yet.
Chen Mei is not here to go to the market, she is just a delivery person.
She almost forgot the taste of meat.
Li Ping was filled with envy, but she did complain: "It's not the New Year or the festival. Who would eat stew at this time? It's really hard to live."
Anjing just came back and she was pregnant, so naturally she couldn't be allowed to go to the fields. As for her mother-in-law, she could go to the market to buy some food and take care of her father-in-law at home and cook.
Looking at her daughter who was still shopping with great interest, Chen Mei followed her resignedly.
"How about we buy less? What if it breaks after buying so much?" Chen Mei felt really distressed.
In fact, she had wanted to come back for a long time, but her eldest brother kept saying that he would not come over in the afternoon after finishing working on the land.
Huh?
Why does the smell of meat become more obvious the further we walk?
Sure enough, Chen Mei made a compromise the next moment: "Okay, buy it back and I'll sprinkle some salt on it for you to eat slowly."
The next day.
Li Ping quickened her pace and rushed to the kitchen.
It was already half past eleven when the two of them got home.
She was a bit greedy after not eating for a long time.
Li Ping was a little embarrassed. She touched her nose. She couldn't say that she wanted to see if the meat was ready.
"Uh, I'm so thirsty, I want to come in and drink some water."
When I was almost at the door of my house, I suddenly felt a strong smell of meat.
After selling the chicken, I went to the meat stall and bit into five kilograms of pork belly and three kilograms of ribs. I kept the meat and ate it slowly, and the ribs were ready for lunch.
In the past, five or even six people would go to work in the fields together every day, but now it's just the four of them.
Anjing went to the garden at the door to pick a handful of peppers and vegetables. When she came back, she picked up five eggs and cracked them in a bowl.
After finishing this, the chicken soup is still simmering in the pot.
When can we let her take charge of the family for once?
"Four people work to feed the whole family. We are so exhausted that we can't save any money for a year. We won't be able to pay for Dongdong's school fees in the future."
After buying these, Anjing bought two more fish.
She plans to make sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, and make old hen soup for her dad for lunch.
Jing Jing smiled, her mother was like that.
This much meat is enough to feed their family for half a year.
She has had enough of this kind of life.
I really don’t understand how anyone can work like this.
Of course he knows best what kind of character the old woman is like.
Jing Jing was walking into the living room with braised pork in her hand, when a human head suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, which almost frightened her so much that she threw the meat in her hand.
Several people who were already hungry suddenly began to salivate endlessly, and their stomachs began to growl.
Li Ping said angrily: "In my opinion, we can separate the families. From now on, we can make money and spend it by ourselves, work by ourselves and get tired. Only such a life can be looked forward to."
Hey.
But Li Ping and his wife were not happy.
Li Ping followed reluctantly to the fields.
But considering the quietness, Chen Mei's bicycle riding speed is simply not as fast as others walking.
Jing Jing was very heavy. Originally she didn't want to come, but considering that her mother was reluctant to spend money to buy things.
As long as she says she wants to eat it, her mother will definitely agree.
Chen Mei refused without even thinking: "No, I can handle it alone."
In the past, it was my father-in-law Chen Yongchang who directed the work, but now he is Chen Guang.
While having breakfast, Chen Mei began to arrange for her family: "I and Anjing will go to the market, you guys will go to the fields, and the two children will play at home and watch the old man."
It's easier than working in the fields anyway.
These two dishes were made together by Jing Jing's mouth and Chen Mei's hands.
I didn’t even want to think about it: “Mom, how about I go to the market with you? I can also help you carry your things.”
It didn't take long for my hands to be scratched and scratched all over.
I was worried that what I bought would not be enough for my family, so I came over to check it in person.
Seeing that other people's houses were almost ready for dinner, Chen Mei didn't bother to deal with the things she bought, and went to stew the rice first.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you in such a panic?" Jing Jing was a little glad that the plate was still firmly in her hand.
In fact, she hasn't eaten meat for more than a month.
But as long as she can buy it back, she won't leave for the time being, and it's not up to her to decide when to eat it.
I also ordered a piece of tofu, saying that it would be stewed directly with the fish at noon, and it must taste very good.
"If you want to separate, go and tell your parents. There's no point in telling me." Chen Ming shook off her hand and strode forward.
She's figured out how to get her mom to agree.
They set off quite early, especially coming on bicycles.
For this matter, this woman had been pestering him all night yesterday.
Jing Jing took out the food for lunch, and put those who didn’t want to eat into the room first, and dealt with them after dinner.
"Not too much, not too much. I've been craving for meat lately. I want to buy more to save myself from running back and forth." Jing Jing said casually.
It was almost half past twelve when Li Ping and others came back from the fields.
She brought the dishes to the living room.
As the food was put on the table, people from the field also arrived home one after another.
Jing Jing took out two bowls and filled one bowl with rice first, and the other bowl filled with a lot of each dish.
The two children at home were drooling as they stared at the meat on the table, especially Dongdong, who also wanted to eat when they saw An Jing picking up vegetables and holding chopsticks.
