Chapter 472 Buying Pig Trotters to Add Meal to Jinbao
"Come back tomorrow, why did you send the telegram today?" Bai Lu said, her eyes full of joy.
Su Jianmin smiled and said: "I don't feel sorry for you as a mother. If Zhiyuan had told you earlier, you would have had trouble sleeping these days. The telegram was probably waiting for him to get off the train when it stopped near the post office.
I sent it."
Having said this, he drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, and then said: "Okay, I'm going back to work."
Seeing her husband walking out of the door, Bai Lu was still a little dazed. After a while, she smiled at Lin Yulan and said, "It really means that Cao Cao is here. We were talking about Zhiyuan before. I didn't expect that he would be back tomorrow. I don't know how many days he can stay this time."
.”
"Why are you coming back at this time? It's not a special holiday."
After listening to Lin Yulan's words, Bai Lu also felt puzzled, "Yeah, I read in his letter before that he has several days of vacation every year, which can be accumulated together. I think I can take leave to go home this year. I thought I would wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to come back."
The two of them thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Lin Yulan said: "Okay, don't think about it. It will be clear when your boss comes back and asks. Now we have to think about making his bed..."
"Ah! If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. The quilt that Zhiyuan used to cover has been buried under the box for several years. I have to take advantage of the sun to bask in it on the roof, otherwise it will smell musty.
.”
As Bai Lu said this, she hurried back to the room and took out the box from the cupboard.
Lin Yulan followed her, helping her take out the thick quilt from the box, and then carried it to the roof.
After drying the quilt, they worked hard again to clean up the mess on the upper bunk.
"Yulan, I'm really sorry to trouble you, help me with these chores..."
"What's the trouble? I stay at home every day and have nothing to do. I'm not allowed to do any work on weekdays. I feel so tired all over." Lin Yulan wiped the sweat from her forehead. "It's rare that I can sweat today. I still feel comfortable."
It’s over.”
Bai Lu smiled and said, "You, I don't even know what to say about you. You always say that every time I thank you."
"Then don't thank me anymore. What's there to thank us for? I grew up watching Zhiyuan. He calls me Auntie Lin. I'm happy to make his bed. Others want me to help.
I'm so busy that I won't do it even if you give me money."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Bai Lu suggested: "When Zhiyuan comes back tomorrow, let's sit down and have a meal together as a family? Let your family come, too. Their two children haven't seen each other for a long time."
"That's... okay, then I'll ask Damei."
After Lin Yulan returned home, she paced back and forth, thinking that Zhiyuan was no longer young, and the girl she didn't like yet might be able to fall in love with Damei now.
It is said that women have undergone a transformation. The beauty is now pretty good. Although she cannot be called thin, she is not as fat as before. According to her father, she has the most well-proportioned and healthy figure.
The older generation said that a round face equals seven cents of wealth. Damei’s face is exactly round, and her face is gentle and smooth. She looks friendly and easy to get along with. She has the appearance of a prosperous husband. In the past two months, I have been asking her about Damei’s birth date and horoscope.
There are three families of people.
Lin Yulan knew that Damei didn't have such thoughts yet, so she didn't give out her birth date and horoscope casually.
Hey! If she can really marry into the Su family and have someone as good as Lulu as her mother-in-law, then...
Thinking about this, Lin Yulan couldn't help but shook her head and told herself not to think too much.
The expectations were too high and the disappointment was too big, especially for Damei.
She finally got out, and we can't let her fall into it again.
When Lin Yulan was alone with her thoughts, her husband and daughter both came back.
"What's going on? Where's the rice?" Xu Qiang asked, "You didn't cook at night?"
Lin Yulan handed the lunch box to him, "I'm not in the mood to cook today, so hurry up and get two dishes from the canteen."
"You bitch, I've been too good to you lately. You've been doing nothing at home all day long..." Before Xu Qiang could finish his words, his wife glared at him and immediately withered, "Okay.
Okay, okay, don’t glare at me, I’ll go get food right now, okay?”
He walked out of the door holding the lunch box. On the way, he met his colleagues in the same workshop. Everyone laughed at him, "Old Xu, why are you carrying so many lunch boxes? Your wife didn't cook today? You have to take good care of it."
"What do you care about? I'm the one being controlled."
"Hahaha, it's really weird. In the early years, you used to boss around your wife casually. But now, only seven or eight years ago, you have actually started to become afraid of your wife."
Xu Qiang was not angry after hearing this, "What do you mean henpecked? I just love my wife."
"You are awesome, we brothers must learn from you!" They said with a smile, and then casually chatted about his daughter, saying that the factory received a telegram today, which was for Director Su. I heard that his eldest son
Su Zhiyuan will be back tomorrow.
"Zhiyuan has a good relationship with your family, Damei, and your wife has such a good relationship with Factory Director Su's wife. Maybe the two of us can have a good talk and we can all enjoy your family's wedding candies this year."
Xu Qiang was surprised at first. He didn't expect that Zhiyuan would be back tomorrow, and then he immediately frowned, "What are you talking about? You can eat and talk nonsense, but you guys can't talk nonsense."
After scolding them, Xu Qiang hurried to the canteen, queued up to order a few dishes, and handed out some staple food and vegetable tickets.
He didn't know whether Zhiyuan's return this time was a good thing or a bad thing for Damei. He was worried. He originally wanted to walk out of the canteen, but then turned back and walked to the meat and vegetable window to ask the canteen cook to give him another pig's trotter.
"Hey! Master Xu, what's going on at home? I actually ate pig's trotters today." The person next to him asked with a smile.
Xu Qiang responded with a smile: "No happy news, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. My beauty has lost weight, so let her make up for it."
After saying that, he looked at the window again. After the pig's trotters were installed, he asked: "How much does it cost?"
You don’t need to buy pork with a ticket, but it requires money and is very expensive.
"Pig's trotters one piece at a time," the cook said.
Xu Qiang felt a pain in his body and slowly handed over the money.
Without waiting for the cook to take the money, he immediately took the money back and said, "These pig's trotters are too small. They come one piece at a time. Why do you have to give me a bigger pig's trotter?"
"Master Xu, why are you making things difficult for us? The pig's trotters are all the same size..."
Xu Qiang stretched out his hand and pointed, "Is the one next to it bigger? Give me the other bigger one."
"Hey, okay." The cook sighed, replaced the one he pointed at with another pig's trotter, and then accepted the money.
Xu Qiang returned to the family building with his lunch box. Instead of going home directly, he went to Su's house first and knocked on the door of Su's house.
"Lao Xu?" Su Jianmin opened the door and asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
"What, I have something to do and I want to go in and talk to you... Are you eating?"
Xu Qiang walked in, put the box with pig's trotters on the table, and said, "I just happened to go to the cafeteria to buy pig's trotters. I wanted to give you a few children, especially Jinbao, who is growing taller.
