Chapter 227: Buying Chickens
When Li Mei and Zhao Yuanchao had lunch at Li's house, Huang Guihua not only took a few catties of dried red roots, but also took ten eggs for Li Mei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info asked Li Mei to get up early tomorrow morning and boil this egg for Zhao Yuanchao to eat on the train.
Li Mei didn't refuse Huang Guihua's kindness, she originally wanted to wait for something to cook for Zhao Yuanchao to take on the train to eat, but she really couldn't think of anything better to cook for a while. Now with the eggs given by Huang Guihua, it can be regarded as solving her worries. Although eggs are relatively simple, they are really suitable to eat in the car.
When she got home, Li Mei helped Zhao Yuanchao pack up her clothes, but Zhao Yuanchao went to tell Zhao Tianzhu and Tang Nengzhen about his departure tomorrow.
"I'll leave tomorrow, why don't you tell us now?" Tang Nengzhen was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanchao telling them such an important thing now.
"Didn't I tell you all before I was leaving?" Zhao Yuanchao looked puzzled, not knowing what his mother was angry about. In the past, this was not always the case, and every time I had to go back to the army, I would tell my family about it the day before I had to go back to the army. Now he also said it at this time, but now he dislikes him and tells them that it is late, so that Zhao Yuanchao really doesn't know what to say.
"Alright, the boss is leaving tomorrow, and you're still here talking nonsense about this trivial matter. Zhao Tianzhu glared at Tang Nengzhen dissatisfied. Seeing that Tang Nengzhen was finally honest, he continued, "Wait a minute, you guys won't cook, let's have dinner together tonight." ”
Zhao Tianzhu thought that Zhao Yuanchao was going to leave tomorrow, and before leaving, the family had to have a meal together.
"Dad, don't be so troublesome......" Zhao Yuanchao hadn't spoken yet, but was immediately interrupted by Zhao Tianzhu, "What's the trouble, after we split up, the family hasn't had a good meal together for several days, so it's better to take this opportunity to get together today." ”
Zhao Tianzhu advocated that everyone have dinner together today, firstly, because Zhao Yuanchao will return to the army tomorrow, which can be regarded as seeing him off. The second is also to enhance the relationship of the family. Especially between the third couple and the old woman.
Even if it can't enhance the relationship between everyone, Zhao Tianzhu also hopes that Liu Hongmei, the daughter-in-law, can be the same as Tang Nengzhen, a mother-in-law, and be like a normal family, not like now, just like the grudge of killing, living under the same roof, not saying hello to each other, and not having a nose and eyes not eyes. It's like an enemy, obviously the closest relative, but it's like this. Zhao Tianzhu thought about it and felt that it would not work if he left it alone. You have to think of a way, this knock is coming, Zhao Yuanchao handed a pillow just now. It would be great to take this opportunity to make the two of them get along with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as before.
Zhao Yuanchao had no choice but to agree when he saw Zhao Tianzhu's insistence, after all, he was going back to the army tomorrow, and it was not his intention to make everyone unhappy before leaving.
After Zhao Yuanchao left, Zhao Tianzhu asked Tang Nengzhen to go to the brigade to buy a chicken.
"What are you doing to buy chicken?" and it costs money again, and Tang Nengzhen is naturally not very happy.
Zhao Tianzhu glanced at Tang Nengzhen, "The boss is leaving tomorrow, and when the family eats today, will they only cook a bowl of corn paste?"
Zhao Tianzhu originally wanted to say that he would buy two catties of pork, but at this time, he just wanted to buy it, and there was no pork to sell. So after thinking about it, I decided to buy a chicken in the brigade. This chicken is home-fed, and as long as you give money, there is no reason why you can't buy it.
Zhao Tianzhu had spoken, and Tang Nengzhen was reluctant to do so, so he had to scold and go out with the money. After a while, Tang Nengzhen bought a half-sized rooster and came back, the reason why this rooster is half big is not small, because this rooster is only about three catties.
In the countryside nowadays, the most favorite thing to raise is hens, because hens can lay eggs, and the eggs they lay can be exchanged for some oil and salt. But if you like it, you don't want to raise a rooster, and if you're unlucky, you'll definitely be fed one or two roosters by accident. The chicken was fed, but it couldn't be fed, and when it was fed, it was fed.
What's more, this rooster is not fed in vain, and it can be exchanged for money when it is fed. However, it certainly can't be compared to a hen. Of course, you can also feed the New Year, and when the time comes, it is also a rich dish to entertain guests, and it is not rude to entertain guests.
However, if you want to kill chickens to eat, the roosters will basically be fed to six or seven catties before killing, because it will be more cost-effective to kill at this time when there is more meat. Like the rooster that Tang Nengzhen bought, it is only about three catties, and no one who is so small can afford to kill it.
When Zhao Tianzhu saw that the chicken that Tang Nengzhen bought back was so small, he was almost angry with her. If the chicken is small, the money will naturally be spent. Tang Nengzhen's calculation was very loud. But she didn't want to think about why Zhao Tianzhu wanted everyone to eat together today, not for her good. But when she bought such a small chicken and came back, she was afraid that the meat would be gone if she only had one chopstick.
"Take the money and I'll buy it myself. Zhao Tianzhu didn't want to talk to Tang Nengzhen anymore, so he directly asked Tang Nengzhen to take out the money and buy it himself.
"This chicken has been bought, what are you wasting that money for?" Tang Nengzhen originally deliberately bought such a small rooster and came back, if Zhao Tianzhu went to buy another chicken, then her purpose would be all in vain.
"What is a waste, this money is the pension given by the boss, and now the boss is going back to the army, let's spend some money to see him off, isn't it right?" Zhao Tianzhu is becoming more and more impatient with Tang Nengzhen now. Every time it is not enough to succeed and more than to fail, the boss promises to give them a pension of five yuan a month, but she goes too far to ask the boss for money.
The boss promised to give them money, but she did it too much. She did this without offending the boss. He didn't do this today to let the boss know, they were also thinking about his son. Let the boss know that they are good to him and what good they will do in the future, will they forget them.
But this mother-in-law has long hair and short knowledge, and she doesn't know his hard work at all. didn't say help, but often dragged him back, and almost didn't make his heart and liver almost ripe.
After speaking, Zhao Tianzhu didn't bother with Tang Nengzhen, directly grabbed a few yuan from Tang Nengzhen, and went out to buy chickens with his hands behind his back.
And when Li Mei heard Zhao Yuanchao say that her father-in-law and mother-in-law asked them to eat tonight, her first reaction was that she felt that this was a Hongmen banquet. After all, as a mother-in-law, how could she be willing to invite them to dinner? I'm afraid this meal is not very delicious......
