When the family was having a lively meal, the gate of the courtyard was knocked loudly.
"Who is this? He came to my house at dinner time. How rude!" Sun Daqin was a little unhappy. But she still didn't open the door. She quickly picked up a cicada monkey and stuffed it into her mouth.
The others were in the same situation as her, and no one cared about the gate.
Qian Shulan sighed and said nothing. These people hadn't seen meat for a long time. They finally had a good meal, so they had to fight for it!
"Mom, wife, I'm the fourth child! Open the door quickly!" This was Wang Shouli's voice.
Zhou Xuemei was about to stand up with a smile on her face, but Qian Shulan looked at her belly and said, "You should just sit down!"
She said to Li Chunhua, who was closest to her, "Chunhua, go open the door!"
After hearing her mother-in-law's instructions, Li Chunhua didn't even bother to eat. She immediately got up, ran out, opened the door, and without saying hello to Wang Shouli, she turned around and came back.
She ran to the table and saw that the cicadas were gone! Qian Shulan picked one from her bowl for her.
Li Chunhua immediately smiled happily.
Wang Shouli came in from the door carrying a sack. It was a big, solid bag that must have been very heavy.
"Mom, this is the food rations that my fifth brother and I saved. They're all radishes." As he spoke, he opened the pocket of the bag, laid the bag upside down, lifted the tail of the bag and poured it out. Red radishes rolled out of the bag. There was a lot of them, at least more than 100 kilograms.
It may not be easy to bring back so many things. Maybe Wang Shouli took some crooked path? !
Everyone was holding the multi-grain steamed buns and staring at the radish. After all, this thing is edible.
"Come over and have dinner! We've fried cicada monkeys today." Qian Shulan quickly called him over.
Wang Shouli sniffed and laughed, "I was wondering why there was a meaty smell!" He turned around and sat down. But he found that the cicada monkey was gone.
Zhou Xuemei gave him the cicada monkeys in her bowl. Because she was pregnant, her mother-in-law specially gave her several, and she still had three left.
How could Wang Shouli steal his wife's things, especially since she was pregnant.
Qian Shulan poured the food from her bowl to him. In fact, she fried more than a hundred. She kept the extra ones in her space for future use. But she couldn't take them out in front of everyone, so she could only give him the food from her bowl.
Wang Shouli only took one and gave the others to Qian Shulan. "I just want one to taste."
While he was talking, he had already put the cicada monkey into his mouth. Qian Shulan had put a lot of oil in the frying, and the fried cicada monkey was particularly tender, with a fragrant meaty aroma. He ate it with great relish. Unfortunately, it was a little too little.
He had no choice but to eat the multi-grain steamed bun. When he put it in his mouth, he felt something strange, "What kind of steamed bun is this?"
Zhou Xuemei repeated it to him with a smile.
Wang Shouli had eaten wheat bran before, but it was a bit hard to swallow at that time. However, this one was ground very finely, so it was not bad. Of course, the taste was not very good, but it was a world of difference compared to the wheat bran he had eaten when he was a child.
"Why are you back now?" Today is clearly Tuesday and it's not a day off, so he must have something to do.
Speaking of this, Wang Shouli was overjoyed and said to Qian Shulan, "Mom, I came back because I have good news to tell everyone."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wang Shouli was very satisfied and curled his lips, "The county's textile factory is hiring! I came back to inform Xiaomei and Dana."
"What about me? Can't I go, Fourth Uncle?" Xiao He was anxious. She clearly got the certificate of completion of the literacy class, so why couldn't she go.
Wang Shouli shook his head. "They only accept people who have graduated from elementary school and are 14 years old or older. You are one year short."
Xiao He was a little disappointed.
Xiaomei and Wang Danna were overjoyed. Li Chunhua was also very happy. It was incredible that her daughter could become a worker one day. She quickly took a steamed bun and handed it to Wang Shouli, saying enthusiastically, "Old Four, you eat it!"
Wang Shouli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still took it.
Sun Daqin pushed Wang Shouren and gave him a wink.
Wang Shouren immediately said, "Old Four, Zhengkang has already graduated, can you keep an eye on him too?!"
Wang Shouli agreed and explained to everyone, "This time we were able to get the news thanks to Xiaowu. He learned from the model worker that their textile factory was recruiting, and immediately asked me to come back to inform everyone. I asked for leave from my leader and came back."
Qian Shulan nodded.
After dinner, Xiaomei and Wang Danna went back to the house to pack up, and Li Chunhua went with them to help.
