Chapter 31 Duan Hongxuan suggests establishing a family day
Everyone was bustling in the yard, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time. Duan Hongxuan also felt particularly happy. A thought suddenly came to his mind, so he loudly reminded everyone: "Everyone, stop for a moment. I suddenly thought of something.
Ask for your opinions!
I suggest that we come to this courtyard at least once a month from now on and have a good family gathering! What do you think?"
After everyone listened, their faces showed expressions of excitement or thought.
Duan Hongxuan looked at Director Wang, "Godmother, what do you think of this suggestion? The family often gets together to talk about life and work, and spend more time communicating.
And my small courtyard is also convenient, what do you think?"
Director Wang thought about it carefully, and then looked at his husband with questioning eyes, "Xingmin, what do you think?"
"I think it works, it feels good! The family usually goes to work and goes to school, and often finds opportunities to get together and communicate more. I think it's great!" Zhao Xingmin first agreed with this proposal.
When Director Wang heard that her husband agreed, he immediately gave his opinion, "I think it's pretty good too, what do you think?"
Seeing everyone excitedly agreeing, Director Wang immediately made the decision: "Then let's decide on the first Sunday of every month. In this way, we can exchange some things about our life and work in the last month, and we can communicate with each other.
Learn from each other’s strengths.”
"Okay, okay."
"No problem, the time Mom set is a good time!"
"Then let's call this day Family Day. The first Sunday of every month is Family Day. If there is nothing special, everyone can come!" Duan Hongxuan suggested again.
"Okay, Family Day is a good name. The family should get together more often and communicate more!" Everyone was very happy and agreed one after another.
Duan Hongxuan suddenly noticed something was wrong with the expression on He Yuyu's face. He understood it as soon as he thought about it, and immediately added to everyone: "My parents, especially when my mother was still alive, always treated Yuyu as a daughter.
Now Yuyu feels that I am a bit lonely living in the same yard by myself, so she moved here to stay with me. I also regard her as my sister.
So I think it’s natural for Yuyu to participate in our Family Day gathering. Do you guys see it?”
When He Yuyu heard Duan Hongxuan mentioning Family Day, he felt that they were a family and he was an outsider, so he felt a little depressed.
But then he heard Duan Hongxuan mentioning himself and treating himself as a member of this family, and his eyes immediately turned red.
When everyone heard what Duan Hongxuan said and looked at He Yuyu, they understood what was going on. Especially Director Wang, as the director of the sub-district office that manages the entire street, knew the specific situation of He Yuyu's family and immediately agreed.
Duan Hongxuan’s statement.
Director Wang also deliberately held He Yuyu's hand. While comforting He Yuyu, he deliberately scolded Duan Hongxuan: "You stinky boy, you need to say this specially. She is your sister and lives in this courtyard, so naturally she is."
Be part of our family gathering.
What do you mean by deliberately emphasizing it? Are you afraid that we will treat her as an outsider?
I have watched Yu Yu growing up. She is such a smart little girl. As an elder brother, you must take good care of her.
Rainwater, if that brat Hongxuan treats you badly, come to the street to find Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang will teach him a lesson!" After saying that, he deliberately glared at Duan Hongxuan.
Duan Hongxuan immediately understood and immediately begged for mercy: "I was wrong, godmother! I'm sorry about the rain, it's all my fault. Look at what I owe, I accept the punishment!"
He Yuyu was very moved and immediately explained to Duan Hongxuan: "Aunt Wang, Brother Hongxuan is very good to me. I know you are all good to me, so I don't blame Brother Hongxuan." After saying that, he took Director Wang's arm and let him go.
Jiao, "If one day Brother Hongxuan really treats me badly, I will definitely go to Aunt Wang to make the decision for me." After saying that, she glanced at Duan Hongxuan proudly.
Director Wang touched He Yuyu's head, comforted him, and then winked at Duan Hongxuan and said: "Yuyu pleads for you, but you still have to be punished for saying the wrong thing, so you should hurry up and prepare it for us."
Lunch!"
It was finally a happy ending, how could Duan Hongxuan dare to be dissatisfied, he immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope, bowed to everyone in an exaggerated way, and walked into the kitchen with a depressed expression on purpose, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Everyone was lively and chatting in the yard. Duan Hongxuan was busy in the kitchen, and next to him was the second sister Zhao Yuejuan who came in to help.
When the second sister first came in, she immediately shook her jade finger at Duan Hongxuan, and then threatened: "Have you prepared what I want?"
Duan Hongxuan touched his ears and rolled his eyes silently in his heart, "Don't worry, second sister! How dare I not remember what you said! All the gifts you asked for are ready, and I will take them with you when you leave!"
"I have become a wholesaler of teddy bears," Duan Hongxuan complained in his heart!
Zhao Yuejuan nodded with satisfaction and then started to help.
Duan Hongxuan then took out ingredients one after another amidst Zhao Yuejuan's constant exclamations, showing off his knife skills and cooking skills. In the end, Zhao Yuejuan was left with her mouth open and drooling.
As the aroma from the kitchen gradually spread, the attention of everyone in the yard was slowly attracted, and the nature of everyone's conversations gradually became lower. Xiao Miaomiao, who was more than two years old, directly shouted that she wanted to eat meat.
There was even a commotion in the courtyard next door.
Nowadays, everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs, and they are very sensitive to the aroma of cooking dishes that are slightly oily and watery.
Even if a better-off family can eat some meat every month, it is not guaranteed to be able to eat it every week. Most families can only eat meat once a month.
When you go to the market to buy meat, everyone is grabbing for the fat meat, and no one wants the lean meat.
If someone gives you two kilograms of meat coupons and pays you, unless there is no fat on the meat table and only lean meat is left. Otherwise, there is obviously fat on the meat table. If you have to cut only lean meat for them, then it is absolutely impossible.
A fight is inevitable.
The cooking oil at home is always dripping. There is no way, because according to the national regulations, the monthly quota of cooking oil per person with an urban household registration is only three taels. This also refers to people with official urban household registration and a grain book.
For example, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu of the Jia family next door, although they all married into the city, they still have rural household registration and do not have a grain certificate in the city, so naturally they are not qualified to buy grain and oil from official channels. It wasn't until Qin Huairu replaced Jia Dongxu to work in the steel rolling mill that the city's household registration and official quota of grain and oil were established.
Those who do not have urban household registration either buy high-priced food from the black market or eat it from other people in the family.
This is why it is so difficult for rural people to marry in the city. Because if city people really have no choice, they will not be willing to marry a rural person.
Marrying a wife from the countryside gives her a new mouth to eat, and she doesn’t even have the grain and oil rations allocated by the state.
Generally, families don’t have enough food to eat. Now that they have an extra mouth to eat, they can only go to the black market to buy high-priced food. This is a big additional expense for ordinary families. Therefore, marrying a daughter-in-law from a rural area will increase the family’s financial difficulties out of thin air.
Burden.
The monthly ration of three ounces of oil per person is, in modern times, at best, enough for two meals, which shows how insufficient everyone is.
The lunch boxes that Shazhu brought back from the factory were just big pot dishes for ordinary workers to eat, even if the factory leaders did not set up a small stove. But in the factory, oil was used for cooking, so there was naturally more oil and water, so it smelled good and was delicious when eaten.
So many people are envious, jealous and hateful.
Is Duan Hongxuan short of oil? Of course he is not. So the amount of cooking oil he uses for cooking is still subconscious, based on the habits of his previous life, plus the ingredients themselves are good, chicken, duck, fish and everything. The most important thing is that his seasonings are very complete, even
Many people of this generation have never heard of it.
Therefore, as soon as this fragrance comes out, for people who are short of oil and water in their stomachs, even they can't stand it. The adults in the yard began to secretly swallow their saliva.
Just when everyone was living like a year, swallowing saliva and enduring torture, the long-awaited voice finally sounded.
"The meal is ready, don't talk anymore. Wash your hands first, then go into the room to serve the table and get ready to eat." Zhao Yuejuan's heavenly voice finally sounded with a little excitement.
When she was helping in the kitchen just now, Zhao Yuejuan ate a lot. But just one or two bites, the more she ate, the more delicious she became, and the more she ate, the more she became greedy.
But under Duan Hongxuan's supervision, I couldn't satisfy myself. Now that dinner is finally served, my mouth is almost watering!
