Zhao Fengzhu blushed and pointed at Zhang Guilan, "Do you think you can talk like that?"
"What's the problem with what I said? Our two families are about to separate. If your son wants to eat eggs, just buy them with his father with money!"
"Hmph! Who wants to eat your rotten eggs?" Zhao Fengzhu said and dragged her son out.
His son was reluctant to leave, "Mom, I want to eat eggs, wuwu, I want to eat eggs."
"Why are you eating eggs? We are going to eat fish tonight, please eat more fish."
Su Jungen sniffed, reluctantly looked back in the direction of the pot, groaned twice, and was forced to be dragged away by his mother.
Zhang Guilan broke the branch in half and stuffed it into the stove angrily, "What the hell is that?"
The fish was also picked up by Gouzi's father! If Jin Bao hadn't said that he wanted to share the fish with everyone, she would not have agreed to share the fish with Zhao Fengzhu and her son.
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhang Guilan opened the lid of the pot, confirmed that the steaming was done, and put the hot eggs and steamed bun slices into a small basin.
"Jinbao, it's time for lunch. Egg custard, boiled eggs and slices of steamed buns. Auntie will peel the eggs for you first."
"Why did you steam so many eggs?" Li Xiu'e stared at the eggs in the basin and counted them.
"Not much, it's important for Jinbao to eat enough."
Li Xiu'e couldn't help but laugh and said: "Boss, my wife, asking for an egg from you before seemed like killing you, why are you so generous today?"
Zhang Guilan said while peeling the eggs: "It depends on who is being generous or not. I treat Jinbao like my precious daughter. Can I pick on her?"
"Ouch, that's strange, you didn't like female dolls, why do you like girls now?"
"Can Jinbao be like an ordinary female doll? Look at how smart her big eyes are. They are so cute. I wonder how the third brother and sister were born. How do they have such cute eyes, nose, and mouth?"
Li Xiu'e laughed heartily when her eldest daughter-in-law praised Jin Bao.
This was the first time that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along so harmoniously, without any quarrels or arguments.
Jinbao was in a very good mood when he saw his grandma and aunt laughing and chatting happily.
"This egg belongs to Jinbao, and this egg is for Huahua." Zhang Guilan finished peeling two eggs and continued to peel the third egg, "This one is for Xiaowu."
After saying that, she asked Hua Hua and Xiao Wu to come over and eat quickly, as it would not taste good if it was cold.
Yao Hua and Su Xiaowu sat at one end.
"Oh, your hands..." Li Xiu'e patted Xiao Wu's dirty hands, "Go and wash your hands quickly. Those who have touched rabbits are extremely dirty."
"What does it matter? If you don't eat it cleanly, you won't get sick!"
Su Xiaowu said as he grabbed the eggs and stuffed them into his mouth, "This just tastes like eggs. It's not that delicious. It also has a fishy smell."
"You stinky boy, even though many people want to take a bite of eggs, you still find it fishy." When Su Changzhu spoke, he swallowed his saliva.
He couldn't remember the last time he ate eggs, he just remembered holding them in his hands and reluctant to eat them.
Li Xiu'e asked: "How should we divide the remaining two eggs? You have three dogs at home, and one is missing."
"The three children will be fine if they eat one egg. There is still one egg left, so you two can eat it."
After hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, Su Changzhu quickly waved his hand, "I'm already half dead, why do I still eat such a rare thing as eggs?"
Li Xiu'e also said: "I won't eat it! Giving eggs to an old woman like me is like an 80-year-old mother-in-law paying homage to the church and wasting candles."
Zhang Guilan was amused by the remark blurted out by her mother-in-law, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Let Big Gouzi share it with them. How can one egg be enough for them?"
While they were talking, a big dog's voice sounded outside the door, "Mom, the fourth aunt is here!"
When she heard that her fourth aunt was coming, Xiao Jinbao's eyes lit up. She had been in the countryside for several days and she had not seen her fourth uncle and aunt yet.
"Let me just say, the fourth wife is a soft-tempered woman who is easy to get along with." Su Changzhu said in a low voice.
A young woman about twenty-five years old came in holding a little boy.
The woman has short hair, is of medium height, has curved eyebrows, and a pointed face. She is not pretty, but she looks very delicate and quiet.
"Xiangqin," Li Xiu'e stepped forward and said, "Please come over and help me."
"My parents are willing to let us come to eat fish, so we should help."
After Ye Xiangqin finished speaking, she looked at her father-in-law and sister-in-law in the room and shouted: "Dad, sister-in-law..."
Su Changzhu stood up and greeted: "Come in and sit down. Have you had lunch in Songjiang?"
Su Songjiang is Su Siyong's son. He is only three years old and very young. He is only one year older than Jinbao.
Seeing the eggs on the table, he stuffed his fingers into his mouth, swallowed, and said, "Eggs..."
Ye Xiangqin was also surprised for a moment.
My sister-in-law protects the egg as a treasure. She usually takes the egg to the town to exchange for things. How can she be willing to take it out and eat it?
And there is not just one egg on the table, but several.
"Mom, I want to eat eggs." Su Songjiang said.
Ye Xiangqin was thin-skinned and her face immediately turned red. She hurriedly said, "Those are your uncle's eggs. You can't eat them. Didn't we have lunch at noon?"
"I eat vegetable roots for lunch. It's bitter and not delicious. It smells like eggs. I want to eat eggs, mother..."
"What did mom usually tell you? As long as your stomach is full, you should be satisfied. Many people don't even have to eat vegetable roots!"
Li Xiu'e asked hurriedly: "Why do we only eat vegetable roots? Didn't everyone in the production team receive sweet potatoes last month? Didn't Si Yong receive them?"
Ye Xiangqin hesitated for a while and shook her head.
"Dad got into a fight and all his work points were deducted. There were no sweet potatoes, so my mother took me up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. My nails were broken and I bled a lot," Su Songjiang said.
"Si Yong's bad temper! Oops..." Su Changzhu patted his thigh.
Thinking of the fourth child's temper, Li Xiu'e couldn't help but shake her head, "He has been like this since he was a child."
Su Siyong is a straight-forward and tough-tempered person. He sounds good because he is straightforward, but bad things sound like he doesn't know how to behave.
Most of the people in the production team were offended by him. He would just quarrel and often get into fights with others. Sometimes he would stop working because he was so angry.
Thanks to his wife, Xiangqin, who is diligent, either going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, or working for other people, begging for some potato cubes, etc. to get some food, otherwise the fourth child and his family would have starved to death if they moved out.
"My child, I'm sorry for you." Li Xiu'e sympathized.
"Mom, I'm not bitter," Ye Xiangqin said with a smile, "I'm satisfied that my family is safe and healthy."
Zhang Guilan felt sour when she saw her mother holding Xiangqin's hand and cherishing it.
When we all lived together in the past, among the three daughters-in-law, my mother was the best and most partial to Xiangqin...
She has an innocent and pitiful face, which can always win the sympathy of her parents. It is obvious that she, the eldest daughter-in-law, is the one who does the hard work of taking care of the housework.
"Jinbao, open your mouth." Zhang Guilan suppressed the jealousy in her heart and focused on little Jinbao.
Jin Bao opened his mouth and took a mouthful of egg custard. When he looked up, he noticed that the little boy in his fourth aunt's arms was staring at the eggs he was eating and swallowing his saliva.
She pushed the hard-boiled egg that her eldest aunt had given her in the direction of her little cousin, "Pigeons eat eggs..."
Without waiting for the others to react, Zhang Guilan hurriedly grabbed the bowl with the eggs back, "Silly boy, these eggs are for you. How can you care about others when you haven't even eaten enough?"
"It's not someone else..." Amid everyone's doubtful gazes, Xiao Jinbao said sweetly, "Auntie and cousin are the same family."
