Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

Chapter 40: not enough to eat

Views:

Seeing Su Yue coming, the third wife of Han, who was feeding chickens in the yard, flashed a guilty conscience. She was too embarrassed to talk to Su Yue, so she turned around and went to work in her kitchen.

Su Yue didn't care, and went straight into the original big kitchen, where Mrs. Han was packing the meals she was going to make at noon.

Su Yue put on an apron for herself and rolled up her sleeves, "Auntie, let me come, you help me make a fire."

The old lady Han was not polite to her, and put down the dishes in her hand cheerfully, "That's fine, you are good at craftsmanship, and the dishes you cook are much better than those made by the aunt, you will be in charge of the cooking today, and the aunt will do the trick for you. ."

"Okay~" Su Yue glanced at the dishes on the stove, and found that there was not only meat, but also a fish, she couldn't help but "wow", "It's so rich today, and there are fish."

The old lady Han chuckled, "I asked Aimin to buy the meat from the commune, and the fish was caught in the river in the morning by Aiguo, or is it still fresh? I think it's a good day to distribute autumn grains today. Let's have a good meal. Celebrate, celebrate."

Su Yue agrees with the old lady's idea very much. She likes the old lady Han. She will never be stingy when she has the conditions. She will never treat her family's mouth badly. Like most elderly people, they are frugal and reluctant to eat or drink.

Su Yue has never liked to save money when it comes to eating, and she is the best at eating big, but if she lived in this way in other homes, she would have been talked about long ago, and Mrs. Han thought it was very good.

Su Yue saw that there were eggplants and loofah in the vegetables, so she decided to make loofah meatballs at noon, fried eggplant pancakes, stewed eggs with minced meat, and made sweet and sour fish with fish.

When the aroma of the dishes slowly spread out from the kitchen, a few small heads were dodgingly exposed at the door of the kitchen. With Su Yue's back facing them, they could hear the sound of swallowing, and it was difficult to ignore it.

Looking back, I saw three little heads hiding behind the kitchen door, all staring at the pot in the kitchen with eager expressions on their faces.

Su Yue couldn't help laughing suddenly, and the old lady Han couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw the expressions of these children, she waved to them, and asked Taohua who was headed: "Is your family ready?"

Several children rushed in. Although they were standing in front of Mrs. Han, their eyes were still reluctant to leave the cauldron. Peach Blossom held back her greed and replied, "My mother is cooking, and it's not ready yet."

Han Laosan's Mao Mao stuffed his fingers into his mouth and chewed it, as if it was like eating meat. , My mother's cooking is not delicious, she doesn't buy meat, she has potatoes and cabbage every day! I want to eat meat~"

Although the little guy is small, there is a lot of resentment towards the food in his tone.

Xiao Lei from Han Lao Er's family also nodded after Mao Mao, and his tone was full of resentment, "I don't want to eat my mother's rice either, my mother always boils it thin, and there is no dry rice!"

Taohua lowered her head sadly, she didn't dare to say that she and her sister couldn't get enough to eat every day, and her sister had to do a lot of work. Every night, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep, but they didn't dare to ask her mother to eat, Otherwise, the mother will scold them.

When old lady Han heard this, her face was not very good. She lived under the same roof. She generally knew how the two daughters-in-law lived. She was reluctant to spend the money in her hand. It's much worse than before the family was separated, and I don't think about what to do if the children are growing, and the men in the family work hard every day if they can't get enough to eat.

These two have shallow eyelids!

But the family has been separated, and her own family is in charge of her own. As an old woman, she can no longer manage what her two sons eat and drink every day. If she does, she will inevitably be said to be a nosy.

Mrs. Han planned to find time to talk to the second and third child, but she couldn't let their daughter-in-law save money blindly without letting the children eat well, otherwise the body would not grow well.

When she raised four children, she never saved on food, she tried her best to feed the four children well, and this made all four sons grow tall and strong.

After listening to the words of several children, Su Yue felt helpless in her heart, but she was an outsider after all, and she was not good at saying things about the way other people's children were, so she tentatively asked Mrs. Han, "Auntie, do we want more? Cook something to eat with the kids?"

Mrs. Han wanted to nod her head, but she held back abruptly. It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for her grandchildren, but that she was afraid of letting them get used to it. If they brought them to dinner as soon as they came, her two daughters-in-law who could live would definitely let them go every day. The children come here to eat and drink, and then she will be the grandmother who has split the family to raise the children.

She said that she would not care about their affairs, and naturally she would not help them raise their children.

Mrs. Han thought for a while and said, "Today I have cooked a lot of dishes. I will use bowls to decorate the dishes later. Let's send some to the family of the second and third children, and let the children taste the meat and fish."

Su Yue had no objection. After the dishes in the pot were ready, she took out two large porcelain bowls, filled them with a bowl of vegetables, and handed one of the bowls to Taohua, "Take the Taohua home to your mother. "

Peach Blossom was overjoyed, took the bowl carefully, and excitedly thanked Su Yue: "Thank you, Aunt Yueyue."

Su Yue touched her head and told her to be careful.

Peach Blossom carefully carried the bowl and took her younger brother Xiaolei back to find her mother.

Mao Mao from Han Lao San's family saw them leave, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to reach for the bowl on the stove, "My family's, and my family's, I'll serve it!"

He can't walk stably by himself. Su Yue can't worry about letting him carry the bowl, so he called Han Aiguo and gave him the bowl, "Send it to the third family, Mao Mao is not stable."

Han Aiguo nodded and touched her cheek without a trace, but no one noticed his movements, only Mao Mao, who was staring at the bowl, saw it, but the little boy didn't understand anything, he only knew what was in the bowl. The dish is drooling.

Su Yue gave him an angry look, then turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Han Aiguo smiled and took Mao Mao to deliver the food.

When Han Aiguo came back, it was time to have dinner here. After the family split, there were only four people who brought Su Yue to eat at the old house, and the square table was just right for one person to sit on one side.

Han Aimin's mouth was full of oil, and he felt that he was going to die of happiness. Since he had Sister Su Yue, he felt that life was very meaningful, and there was always something delicious to drink. What could be happier than this kind of life? He really couldn't understand why the third sister-in-law wanted to do it. If she didn't do it, wouldn't it be better for her to live a better life

Anyway, he will hold on to Sister Su Yue's thighs firmly in the future, and resolutely follow her. It's a pity that Sister Su Yue is not his real sister, so he can't live with them every day, and he can only taste her craftsmanship occasionally, what a pity~

Thinking of this, Han Aimin looked at Su Yue with love and sincerity, and said sincerely: "Sister Su Yue, otherwise I will recognize you as my sister, and then let my mother recognize you as my daughter, and you will live in our house in the future. , so that we can eat your dishes every day."

As soon as these words came out, Su Yue couldn't help laughing, and gave Han Aiguo a meaningful glance.

Han Aiguo didn't smile, he frowned and said firmly to Han Aimin, "No way!"

Han Aimin was puzzled: "Why? Sister Su Yue has no relatives and no reason here. How pitiful she is. After coming to our house, we can take care of her. If Sister Su Yue gets married, I can still support Sister Su Yue as a family member. No one can bully Sister Su Yue."

Su Yue was amused and moved, and asked him with a smirk: "Then what would you do if the husband that your sister Su Yue married bullied you in the future?"

Han Aimin immediately raised his fist and exposed the muscles on his arm. He said with a serious face, "If he dares to bully you, I will beat him to death! I will beat him so that he can't get up!"

Han Aiguo's face turned black, who is this kid going to beat to death? And would he be the man who bullied his daughter-in-law? It's too late for him to hurt his wife.

Su Yue tilted her head and smirked.

"Pfft... Hahaha..." Su Yue held back, but Mrs. Han didn't hold back, and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

Han Aimin was bewildered by his mother's laugh, "What are you doing, what did I say, mother, are you smiling like this?" Why does it feel like there is something he doesn't know

The old lady Han poked Han Aimin's head with her finger and scolded with a smile: "You elm head, you have no eyesight." Every day I followed Su Yue and his eldest brother around and didn't find anything tricky, stupid boy!

"What?" Han Aimin scratched his head, "Mum, why are you calling me an elm head? What's wrong with me?"

The old lady Han had given up hope for his eyesight, and asked: "You want to recognize your sister Su Yue as your sister-in-law, why don't you want your sister Su Yue to be your sister-in-law? My sister-in-law is our Han family, so it's better to be a sister than Gan?"

Han Aimin blinked and replied subconsciously, "But my second brother and third brother are already married."

All of a sudden, Han Aiguo's face was completely dark, and he couldn't help but say, "Han Aimin, do you only have the second brother and the third brother?"

Han Aimin was stunned, the next second, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, he glanced back and forth between his eldest brother and Su Yue in disbelief, and asked stutteringly, "Big, eldest brother, are you and Su Yue sister? .. ”

Han Aiguo gritted his teeth, "Why, do you think there is any problem?"

Han Aimin was simply stunned, unable to hold his chopsticks anymore, "No, no, really? Sister Su Yue, are you dating my elder brother?"

Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled, slightly acquiescing.

Mrs. Han couldn't help but slap him, "You stupid boy, you don't believe you if you say you're stupid, your mother saw it, but you didn't notice it at all."

Han Aimin was stunned for a long time before fully digesting this fact.

He really didn't expect that his eldest brother is almost thirty years old, so many years older than Sister Su Yue, and he always felt that the two were not of the same generation, so even if his eldest brother and Sister Su Yue behaved very closely occasionally, he didn't think about it. , so I am so surprised when I know the truth.

But after the surprise, Han Aimin's eyes gradually brightened, and he became excited. He couldn't help but say, "Sister Su Yue will become my sister-in-law in the future? Sister Su Yue will be a member of our Han family in the future? This is also great, right? !"

Seeing him so happy, Han Aiguo's face finally improved a little, this stinky boy is not hopeless.

Su Yue watched Han Aiguo's face change and couldn't help but smile.

——

There was no need to go to work in the afternoon, so Su Yue stayed at Han's house to help old Mrs. Han make cakes, and Han Aiguo also helped, and the lotus flower came to set the fire.

Now I can't go to town to sell cakes anymore, so I don't need to make so many cakes. The old lady Han is much more relaxed. She only needs to spend half a day making cakes every day, and the rest of the time can be busy with housework at home without any delay, just money I didn't earn as much as before, and the old lady was very sorry.

Fortunately, she still had some money in her hand, and the money she earned from making cakes was enough for her country to treat her legs, but she was a little worried about his marriage. Yueyue is such a good girl, you can't treat others badly. If you want to marry someone's girl, you have to get some decent dowry. I can't get it all together, but I have to have a big one. Anyway, I have to buy it for Yueyue. A sewing machine, plus other odds and ends, and the money for a banquet, it is a lot of money, and this money must be prepared in advance.

How did Su Yue know that Mrs. Han was already worrying about her marriage to Han Aiguo, and she was only concentrating on making pastries. Soon the first pot of pastries came out. Mrs. Han brought the basket for the pastry and put the pastries in the pot. Put them in carefully one by one.

"Grumble-"

At this moment, an indescribable stomach growl sounded in the kitchen, causing everyone present to be stunned. After everyone looked at each other, they all turned their attention to the lotus sitting behind the stove burning the fire.

Lotus blushed all of a sudden, bit her lower lip ashamed and dared not look at the three of them, wishing she could hide herself in the stove to see no one.

The old lady Han hurriedly asked: "Lotus, are you hungry? Didn't you have enough to eat at noon?"

Lotus blushed, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded cautiously.

The old lady Han frowned, thinking of something, and her tone suddenly sank, "Why aren't you full with such a big bowl of meat that my milk sent you at noon? Did your mother not give you food?"

Lotus shook her head and said nothing.

The old lady Han was angry, "Lotus, don't lie, tell the truth to your milk, is it because your mother didn't give you food? You tell the milk, the milk is your master."

Su Yue saw that the lotus still lowered her head and didn't speak, she quickly took out a cake from the pot, walked to the lotus and squatted down and handed it to her, "Quickly eat a cake to cushion your belly, Aunt Yueyue will make you a bowl of fragrant fragrance. Is the noodles good for you?"

Lotus' eyes suddenly turned red, and her shoulders shook slightly. She was still a child, and she couldn't face the injustices and grievances in life calmly. In front of those who loved her, she couldn't help but want to cry and talk, "Damn, I didn't eat a piece of meat at noon, I just ate half a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and my mother gave it to my brother."

The old lady Han was so angry, "Your mother didn't give you and peach blossoms a piece?"

The lotus choked, "Mother said that our girl's film was wasted and not given to us. The peach blossoms are not full and I am hungry. I will give her half a bowl of my sweet potato porridge. I am also very hungry."

The old lady Han threw the things in her hand with a snap, gasped for breath, and went straight out of the kitchen, "I'll go to the second daughter-in-law, I'll see what she wants to do, isn't my daughter a human being? unacceptable!"

Su Yue and Han Aiguo didn't stop the old lady, because they were both angry and incomprehensible to Han's second daughter-in-law's actions. Before, they only knew that she was a little bit more patriarchal, but it didn't go too far. The family treats their two daughters like this. It seems that they were only forced to do so by the majesty of the old lady Han.

Su Yue put the cake in her hand to the lotus flower, patted her head, "Eat it quickly."

Lotus sniffed, looked at Su Yue gratefully, lowered her head and cherished the cake one bite at a time.

At this time, the voices of Mrs. Han and the second daughter-in-law of Han had already sounded outside, and sometimes there were voices of the second Han explaining. Su Yue thought for a while, then went out from the kitchen and walked towards the door of Han Lao Er and his wife's room, and saw Taohua crying pitifully standing at the door, with a look of bewilderment.

In the room, the old lady Han was scolding the second husband and wife, and the second wife of Han was defending herself, and Su Yue heard her say: "Girls are so good at eating, anyway, they will all belong to other people in the future, and we used to be too. Come here."

Su Yue couldn't listen to it anymore, she felt gloomy and uncomfortable, she stepped forward to hold Taohua's hand, and said softly, "Don't cry, go to the kitchen with Aunt Yueyue for a while."

Taohua didn't want to stay here either, she followed Su Yue decisively, and when she saw the lotus flower when she entered the kitchen, she immediately ran over to her sister's arms and cried out to her.

Lotus quickly hugged her sister and patted her shoulder to comfort her not to cry.

Su Yue was saddened to see, so she brought two cakes to the sisters and asked them to eat quickly.

The way the two sisters devoured Su Yue's unpleasant feeling even more, and there was an indescribable anger.

Han Aiguo's face was also heavy, his lips were tightly pressed, he silently washed his hands, and said to Su Yue, "I'm going to find the second child."

Knowing that he was going to teach Han Er Er, Su Yue didn't stop him, because at this time she also wanted to teach Han Er Er, a father, and she wanted to ask, it was her own flesh and blood, why the difference Is it so big that girls don't need to be loved

Su Yue didn't care about what was going on outside. Seeing that the Lotus sisters had finished eating the cake, she said to them, "You two set a fire for Aunt Yueyue, and Auntie will make a bowl of fragrant pork noodles for each of you now, okay?"

Lotus and Taohua's eyes lit up, and they nodded their heads in joy. The two sisters immediately started to add firewood to the stove together.

There was leftover shredded pork at noon. Su Yue took some flour from the flour used for making pastries, mixed it with water, flattened it, cut it into shreds, put the noodles in the boiling water, and waited until it was almost cooked. Add shredded pork and seasoning, and soon two bowls of noodles are ready.

Lotus and Peach Blossom swallowed their saliva and sat down at the small table under Su Yue's gesture, each holding a bowl of noodles and eating happily.
