Chapter 229
The Zhao family's dinner was quite rich, a rooster stewed with mushrooms, a pickled pepper chicken offal, and a chicken blood boiled in chicken soup. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Although the amount of chicken offal and chicken blood is small, the taste is good. In particular, pickled pepper and chicken offal are a good appetizer, but unfortunately there is no wine to drink.
The meal was ready, and the family sat at a full table. Because of the large number of people, there were three people sitting on each side of the square table, and even so, Zhao Xiaofang had no place to sit, so he could only stand and eat. Anyway, it's a family, and it's not so particular about eating standing and sitting.
The chicken blood cooked by Li Mei on the table, Li Mei told the four children at the beginning, let them not eat it, and don't move the bowl of chicken offal. Because they have a saying here that children will become stupid if they eat pig's blood, and they can't write well after eating chicken feet. Although the current national situation does not attach importance to the matter of reading, and there is no scientific basis for this statement. However, Li Mei still thinks that no matter whether it makes sense or not, anyway, this matter is passed down by the older generation, so let's just do it.
The children have chicken to eat, but they are not interested in chicken blood and chicken offal. And the favorite food of children in this era is chicken thighs, because there is a lot of chicken thighs. But because of the large number of people and the lack of chicken, Li Mei chopped the chicken into very small pieces, and the two big chicken legs were also chopped by Li Mei, so Zhao Zijun's wish to come and eat chicken legs must have been disappointed.
Although there is no chicken leg to eat, they do not dislike meat to eat. Li Mei's three concubines were busy taking care of a few children and helping them with vegetables. At this time, Zhao Yuanchao said in front of everyone that he was leaving tomorrow.
Zhao Yuanchao is going to leave tomorrow, in fact, everyone knows. So Zhao Yuanchao is not surprised when he says this in front of everyone now.
"Big brother, you can go back to the army in peace, if your sister-in-law has any heavy work in the future, just tell me. Zhao Wenhua was the first to stand up and make a statement.
"Big brother, the third brother is right, if the sister-in-law has anything in the future, she just needs to say hello. Although Zhao Wenping was a step late, he did not hesitate to express his attitude.
"Then the eldest brother will use chicken soup instead of wine tonight to thank the two younger brothers. "A thousand words, others are in wine, but Zhao Yuanchao is in chicken soup today.
The brothers were happy on the table, and the concubines were also talking and laughing. But Tang Nengzhen, who was sitting on the upper seat, had a stinky face all night, as if someone had borrowed her rice and returned it with chaff.
However, everyone knows Tang Nengzhen's virtue, so it's not strange. Eat your own and don't take her stinky face to heart.
"Boss, work hard when you return to the army, don't think about home. In case something happens at home, I and your two younger brothers will still be on top. Zhao Tianzhu saw that Zhao Yuanchao's relationship with the three brothers seemed to be much better than before they were separated, but for a while, there were five bottles of miscellaneous flavor in his heart.
Although Zhao Tianzhu felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still made it clear when the family was there.
"Dad, with you here, I naturally have nothing to worry about. Zhao Yuanchao naturally said that there was nothing to worry about. Even if you are worried, it is useless, if you don't want to worry, you can only let Li Mei accompany him to the army, but this matter of accompanying the army will be arranged when he returns to the army, and now let Li Mei follow him back to the army, which is simply unrealistic.
Zhao Tianzhu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw Zhao Yuanchao say this.
"Wait a minute, after dinner, you will take Li Mei to see your grandparents, and your third uncle and aunt will also go and sit there. Zhao Tianzhu then commanded.
"Dad, I know. After listening to the order, Zhao Yuanchao nodded to himself. He wants to go back to the army, and Grandpa Zhao naturally wants to go and have a look.
"Boss, you're going back to the army tomorrow, why didn't you go to see your grandparents today. Tang Nengzhen hadn't thought of this yet, but as soon as he heard Zhao Tianzhu mention asking Zhao Yuanchao to see Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, Tang Nengzhen suddenly remembered that Zhao Yuanchao hadn't seen his grandparents yet, so Tang Nengzhen naturally didn't follow it.
"Mom, this time the time is a little tight, next time I come back, I will definitely go to accompany my grandparents. He only thought about saying goodbye to his mother-in-law, but he forgot about his grandparents. With the personality of her mother, it is normal to be angry.
"Next time?" Tang Nengzhen didn't follow, "When you come back next time, I don't know what year and month it is, I see that in addition to recognizing your relatives on the Zhao family's side, my grandparents don't want to recognize it." ”
Tang Nengzhen was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanchao's behavior of not going to see his grandparents. He could take the time to accompany his daughter-in-law back to her parents' house to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, but he didn't have time to say goodbye to his grandparents, which made Tang Nengzhen swallow this breath.
"Look at what you said, hasn't the boss been busy these days?" If it weren't for Tang Nengzhen's reminder, in fact, Zhao Tianzhu would have forgotten about the relatives of the Tang family. However, this meal Zhao Tianzhu originally planned to draw into the relationship with his sons, no matter whether the eldest son was really busy or really forgot about his grandparents. Zhao Tianzhu didn't want Tang Nengzhen to mess up this meal. Therefore, as soon as he saw that Tang Nengzhen had been biting this matter, he hurriedly came forward to play a round.
Tang Nengzhen saw that Zhao Tianzhu came forward, and no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow it. However, the face is even more stinky. The meal was supposed to be eaten well, but because of this small episode, several adults didn't feel as fragrant as they did when they ate chicken in their mouths.
After eating, Li Mei wanted to help clean up together, but was stopped by Ye Guijuan and them. "Sister-in-law, it's still early for you to accompany your eldest brother to your uncle's side. Otherwise, maybe the grandparents will sleep in the evening. ”
For their kindness, Li Mei naturally appreciated it. went to the stove room to wash her hands, and followed Zhao Yuanchao, who was waiting for her outside, to Uncle Zhao's house.
"The relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law is so good, and after the eldest brother leaves, the sister-in-law doesn't know if she can get used to it. Ye Guijuan couldn't help muttering when she saw Li Mei and the two of them walking side by side.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry. This time, the eldest brother returned to the army, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the sister-in-law will follow him to the army. Speaking of which, Liu Hongmei couldn't help but envy Li Meilai. Li Mei followed Zhao Yuanchao to join the army, which can be regarded as getting out of the sea of suffering. Like them, they don't know when and when they will be able to get out of this sea of suffering.
Although they are now separated, they can be regarded as their own days. But if you still live with your parents-in-law, how can you get along well. If they want to get out of the sea of suffering, they are afraid that they can only wait for themselves to build a house.
