In the kitchen, Zhang Guilan and Ye Xiangqin cooked four grass carp and one catfish into five dishes.
Slippery fish fillet, smoked grilled fish, wok stewed fish, stir-fried fish fillet and steamed catfish.
"It smells so good!" Su Siyong picked up two buckets of water and returned home. He couldn't help but smell the smell of fish.
His fifth brother also brought the water back after a while.
"Sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, the fish you cooked is so delicious." Su Xiaomeng poured water into the water tank in the kitchen, stared at the fish on the table, and couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
He had been eating glutinous rice soup for several months, and every time he could smell the faint burnt smell in the dining room, he even forgot about the aroma of the food.
People don’t pay much attention to what they eat when they are hungry. As long as they are full, what they eat is not eating.
Now that I smell the fish smell, all the dead gluttons in my stomach come to life, making me swallow my saliva.
“It’s so fragrant! It’s so fragrant!”
"That's the smell of grilled fish. She took the charcoal fire to roast the parsley in the yard. It's so fragrant."
Su Siyong said to his wife: "Ms. Songjiang, can you still cook grilled fish?"
"I've seen my mother bake it before, and this is my first time making it. I don't know if it tastes good." Ye Xiangqin said shyly with a slight blush on her face.
Su Daqiang walked to the kitchen in search of the scent, and saw his two younger brothers at a glance, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, when did you come? Why didn't I see you?"
"My fourth brother and I have carried two buckets of water," Su Xiaomeng said, "Brother, where were you just now?"
"I carried water twice in the afternoon and was so exhausted that I just kept lying in the house..."
Su Daqiang slapped his waist and said, "I have to eat fish at night to replenish my body."
After saying that, she asked her daughter-in-law, "When can I start eating?"
"The only thing left is your second brother. When he comes back from the production team, everyone will be here."
Su Xiaomeng saw that the sun had already set and said, "Second brother, you are too slow. Why haven't you come back yet? There should be nothing busy this season."
He glanced outside and said, "By the way, where is the second sister-in-law? I haven't seen it yet..."
Hearing him mention Zhao Fengzhu, Zhang Guilan snorted, "I know I'm going to be busy today, so your second sister-in-law is hiding in the house and being lazy."
Su Daqiang hurriedly said: "Okay, it's rare for the whole family to get together, so don't quarrel again."
Ye Xiangqin also tried to smooth things over, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to cook."
"It's not the first time, and besides, it's only more than five months old. Why are you being pretentious? When I was pregnant with my baby, I was so busy that I didn't work until I was about to give birth."
As soon as Zhang Guilan finished speaking, Zhao Fengzhu's voice sounded outside, "Tsk, tsk, I knew my sister-in-law was chewing the root of my tongue again."
"Why am I talking nonsense? Xiangqin and I have been busy all afternoon and you haven't helped at all. I can't help you, right? If you have the ability, don't come here to eat fish!"
Zhao Fengzhu raised her eyes, "Don't you know best why I didn't come to help?"
"What do I know?" Zhang Guilan felt that her words were incomprehensible.
"You steamed five eggs for lunch, and you didn't give any of them to my Jungen to eat. You even said it was good enough for his nephew. Did you say that?"
Zhang Guilan laughed and said, "I said it! What? I can give the eggs laid by my hens to whoever I like, okay?"
"Since you don't regard Jungen as your nephew, why should I come to help you?"
"Okay, don't come to help, and don't come to eat the fish. This fish has nothing to do with you, right?"
Zhao Fengzhu turned red with anger.
She had no other reason to argue, so she could only bring up the old conversation, put her hands on her hips and said: "Then you vomit out all the sweet potatoes and taro you have eaten from my house over the years!"
"The pants Jun Gen is wearing were bought by Gouzi Daddy. You take off his pants first and let him continue to bare his butt and balls, and then I will spit the sweet potatoes back to you."
Zhao Fengzhu said angrily: "How many years have you worn those tattered trousers and you still have the nerve to mention them? The sweet potatoes your family eats can be exchanged for several pairs of trousers from my Jungen family."
Zhang Guilan sarcastically said: "You have to admit it, you still want to change into several pairs of pants with that little sweet potato? If the second child hadn't been carrying sweet potatoes home all day long, who would think he would eat them?"
"Don't eat it if you don't care..."
"It sounds like you haven't eaten my food. Last month, my father bought two kilograms of flour, but you didn't eat it? I don't know who secretly came to the kitchen in the middle of the night to cook gnocchi soup. It's so stinky and shameless!"
Before Zhao Fengzhu could fight back, Zhang Guilan pointed at her face and continued to curse: "I bought all the salt at home. Spit it out, hurry up!"
Looking at this familiar quarrel scene, Su Siyong suddenly felt that his sister-in-law had not changed much.
Before, he thought his sister-in-law had changed into a different person...
"What are you arguing about? I heard you two arguing from a distance!" Li Xiu'e walked into the kitchen holding Jin Bao.
"Mom," Zhao Fengzhu came forward and complained, holding her stomach, "my sister-in-law won't let me eat fish."
"Guilan, what's going on? Didn't we agree that the whole family would sit together and eat fish together?"
Zhang Guilan said angrily: "She didn't do any work in the afternoon, why should I complain?"
"Mom, I'm pregnant. I didn't eat in the morning and didn't eat anything at noon. Unlike my sister-in-law, she ate eggs and she was energetic enough to work."
Li Xiu'e frowned displeased.
She couldn't stand the eccentric behavior of the second daughter-in-law, who always loved to make sarcastic remarks in a roundabout way.
"How did your sister-in-law eat eggs? She steamed six eggs and ate two for Jinbao. Huahua, Xiaowu and Songjiang ate the rest. She didn't eat any of them. Dagouzi and the other three children also shared the eggs.
Got an egg."
"Even Songjiang eats it, but Jungen doesn't eat it. My sister-in-law seems to really hate me."
Zhao Fengzhu's eyes filled with tears, "I don't know where I offended my sister-in-law and made her so disgusted."
Zhang Guilan rolled his eyes at her and said disgustedly: "Stop pretending to be pitiful and pretending to cry. Who are you disgusting? No one wants to watch you act."
"Mom, woo woo..."
Li Xiu'e was annoyed to death, "If you want to cry, just go back to the house and cry!"
Seeing that the crying trick didn't work, Zhao Fengzhu wiped away her tears directly, "Anyway, I have a share of this fish. If you don't let me eat the fish, I won't divide this family."
Little Jinbao was amazed and amazed.
This second sister-in-law's tears are like a faucet switch, stopping whenever she wants. It would be a waste of talent not to be an actress.
If her second uncle hadn't been very kind to her, she really wouldn't want her second sister-in-law and her son to eat fish.
Forget it, just bear with it for the sake of your second uncle. Once the family is divided, there won't be such a fuss anymore.
A large family sat at a round table.
Seeing that it was almost completely dark, Su Changzhu lit a kerosene lamp and placed it in the middle of the table.
"Why hasn't the second brother come back yet?" Li Xiu'e kept looking in the direction of the door.
Zhao Fengzhu was also very anxious. She specifically asked Jungen to tell his father to come back early in the morning.
"Dad, Mom, the fish is almost cold, how about we eat it first?" Su Daqiang stared at the fish for a long time, wishing he could immediately pick up a piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth.
Zhao Fengzhu said hurriedly: "No! You have to wait until Er Zhuang comes back before you can eat it!"
"He doesn't know when he will come back. The fish won't taste good if it's cold."
After hearing what the boss said, Su Changzhu looked around at his sons and grandsons and saw that they were all staring at the fish and swallowing their saliva like greedy cats.
"We won't wait for the second child, let's eat first."
