Chapter 148 He has to make his grandparents hate him
"It's not sugar, it's MSG." Yao Hua said.
The packaging bag of MSG is very beautiful.
There is a cartoon girl with blond hair and an apron holding fragrant food in her hands.
Seeing the red words printed below the girl, "Contains 99% sodium glutate", Dagouzi asked: "What do these words mean?"
"Sodium glutamate is MSG, an umami seasoning that can make food more delicious."
After listening to Yao Hua's words, Jin Bao remembered that his mother only added salt when cooking and never added MSG.
Unexpectedly, even MSG is a rarity in this day and age.
"Yeah! I remembered it!"
Su Daqiang suddenly said: "I saw this thing once at a supply and marketing cooperative in the county. It was displayed very high. I even asked the salesperson what it was and whether it was white sugar."
"What did the salesperson say?"
"She said it was MSG. It was very expensive. It was a rare product that could only be used in high-end restaurants. It was only used to entertain foreign guests. The county put out a pack of it so that everyone could see it and want to eat something made with MSG.
Dish, that’s not an easy thing.”
After listening to what Su Daqiang said, everyone's eyes lit up, wondering what the food made with MSG would taste like.
"Since Jin Bao said that everyone should eat the fish together, let's bring the fourth and fifth children over tomorrow night, and the whole family will get together, eat fish together, and talk about the separation of the family." Li Xiu'e said.
When it came to family separation, Su Daqiang asked: "Mom, what did you ask the village cadres about?"
"Yes, mother, can we really get land through household division?" Zhang Guilan and Zhao Fengzhu asked with concern.
Li Xiu'e nodded, "The higher-ups do have this policy, but our village is small and it seems we can't be divided into as big a land as Hua Hua said. We won't know until the village chief comes back to know exactly how much land can be allocated."
"Ah? How much can the middle household be divided into? It won't be smaller than the 60-square-meter piece of land that the fourth family has, right? Sixty square meters can't build a big house. Gouzi and I also want to build a small yard.
I’m growing vegetables and raising chickens.”
Before Zhang Guilan could talk any more, Li Xiu'e said impatiently: "Didn't I know it only after I told the village chief? The village chief will be back the day after tomorrow, so just wait."
At night, Zhang Guilan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Daqiang, why don't you find a job?" She said unsteadily, "When the family was not separated, the second brother would bring some food back, and everyone would eat together. After the separation, what would we eat?
?”
Su Daqiang was upset when he heard this, "I didn't agree with the separation of the family in the first place. It was you who insisted on the separation. Now that my parents have agreed to the separation, you regret it again."
"I don't regret it. I just think we can't sit back and have nothing. The money will be used up sooner or later, and hens can't lay eggs for a lifetime..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I carried water and caught fish today. I'm exhausted."
Zhang Guilan said angrily: "Why are you tired? You only picked up two buckets of water. Besides, you didn't catch the fish, you picked them up. It didn't cost you much effort at all."
Su Daqiang didn't seem to hear her and started snoring after a while.
In the second child's room.
Zhao Fengzhu dragged her husband and asked, "Do you know what Yao Hua's father and mother do?"
"Why are you asking about this?"
"Are you curious? Didn't you see him bring out a pack of MSG this afternoon? Do you know what MSG is?"
Su Erzhuang shook his head, "What is it?"
"Each one is white. It looks like sugar, but it's not the same. It's longer than sugar. It's said to enhance freshness. It's only used in high-end restaurants."
Zhao Fengzhu swallowed her saliva as she spoke, wondering what MSG tasted like. It might taste better than sugar.
Su Erzhuang was also curious, "Listen to what you said, then this MSG should be very expensive, right?"
“It must be expensive!”
After Zhao Fengzhu finished speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "Isn't your third brother attached to some big shot? Is that why you rushed to arrange a baby wedding for your niece?"
"How do I know this? But although the third child has a good job and a high salary, he probably doesn't know any big people, right?"
"Maybe he is the son of the factory leader. Anyway, I think Yao Hua's kid is special. We have to treat him well. He may not be able to help our family Jiangen and Jungen find jobs in the city in the future."
"The third son has five sons in his family. If he really wants to find a job, it won't be our son's turn, right?"
When Su Erzhuang thought that Yao Hua would marry his niece in the future, he felt angry for no reason, as if the Su family's treasure had been taken away.
"I don't agree with this marriage anyway. I have to talk to my third child if I have a chance. We can't book a baby marriage so early. It's the dregs of the old feudal society..."
"Come on, what's wrong with being able to book a reliable partner early? Even if you don't book a baby date, you still have to rely on a matchmaker for the blind date in the end."
Zhao Fengzhu touched her belly and said, "Oh, it would be great if my daughter could find a big leader's son to get married."
Su Erzhuang shook his head, "Stop dreaming, the baby in your belly is a son, not a daughter."
"It's my daughter!" Zhao Fengzhu snorted and pinched her husband's thigh with her fingers, "It's my daughter, my daughter's daughter..."
"Ouch!" Su Erzhuang cried out in pain, covered his leg and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, it's my daughter."
In the south room, Yao Hua is feeding Jinbao milk.
Milk is soaked with milk powder.
Li Xiu'e took the milk powder packaging bag and looked at it. She saw "Baby Milk Powder" written on it and drew a picture of a little boy smiling. "Hua Hua, your mother also bought this milk powder?"
"Well, Jinbao is still young. Although he has stopped breastfeeding, his digestion ability is poor. He needs to drink milk to supplement the necessary vitamins and calcium."
Yao Hua then said: "I originally had to drink it every day, but I was afraid that there was not enough milk powder and the supply and marketing cooperative in the town couldn't buy it, so I only let her drink it every few days."
"You and your mother are so kind to Jinbao. Who would be willing to buy such an expensive thing? None of my grandchildren have ever drunk milk powder."
"My father made a lot of money abroad, and his salary after returning to China was relatively high, so he was not short of money."
There was no boasting in the little boy's tone, he was simply stating the facts.
Su Xiaowu sat on the window sill and looked at Yao Hua sideways, as if looking at an enemy.
"Xiao Wu, what's your expression?" Li Xiu'e said to her grandson, "You haven't apologized to Hua Hua for what happened this morning..."
Su Xiaowu's mind was still filled with the words of the aunts and uncles in the village: if a girl marries a chicken, she will marry a dog, and if she gets married, she may never see him again.
Jinbao can't marry this boy, he must make his grandparents hate him!
"Grandma, he thinks your quilt is dirty and contains moldy bacteria, and you still praise him. He is not a good person. Don't let him deceive you!"
After Su Xiaowu finished speaking, he thought grandma would be angry, but unexpectedly her face turned red.
She said sheepishly: "This quilt is indeed dirty. It has been there for too many years. Oh, Hua Hua, isn't it so bad that it is covered with mold?"
"It's not good. I asked Jinbao's uncle today and wanted him to help buy a new quilt, but he said that quilts can't be bought and can only be made by hand. Cotton can't be bought. People in rural areas are stuffed.
of straw…”
"This quilt was made when Grandpa Jinbao and I got married. Cloth is expensive. Rural people use a quilt for a lifetime. It's great if it can be stuffed with cotton."
Yao Hua thought for a while, "Then wait until the sun is stronger, take the quilt apart and dry it, and wash the areas with mold. It should be able to be removed."
"Okay, okay, I will take the quilt to dry it tomorrow."
Su Xiaowu stared at his grandma in surprise. Is this still his grandma? Why did that fierce grandma become so humble and respectful?
