Yin Youlan's eyes were sharp, and as soon as she came in, she saw a basket in the corner, which contained two chickens, and she wanted to take one with her, but this chicken was delicious with mutton. So he suggested: "Don't, your eldest brother and two nephews may eat, just this point, it is estimated that it is enough for his third master to eat, if you keep half more, which is enough, and you still owe it to eat." Why don't you give them all to me, don't I see that there are still two chickens in that basket? You like to eat chicken again, this is not right, I will take all this mutton. ”

Xu Dangjia twitched, this is a fat sheep, half of it is thirty catties, how big a belly can it be, to fit this half of the mutton. Besides, those two chickens were personally ordered by Lin Mei to be kept for her to try new dishes. Xu Dangjia couldn't be the master, so he immediately said: "I think it's better to return to the eldest lady about this matter." ”

"What's the matter, your wife in charge can't even do this?" Yin Youlan listened to Mrs. Zao's words and began to ridicule her sister-in-law.

These words can be heard in Zhou Ximei's ears, as if she was slapped in the face.

"Okay, this matter is so decided, Xu is in charge, if you are afraid that the eldest lady will blame, everything will be pushed on my head, I will see who dares to say a word. By the way, take a bag of rice with my sister-in-law, don't tell me that there is no one at home, I can see the delivery truck this morning, there are five bags of rice noodles. ”

Yin Youlan was even happier when she heard that there was still Mina. In the past, rice was only eaten by the village chief's family in the village, but it was still eaten with millet when boiling porridge. In the past three years, although the Lin family has sent a lot of food, only rice has not been sent once.

Yin Youlan still took advantage of her sister-in-law's marriage and had a meal at the Lin family banquet. If you can bring a bag of rice back, it will be like putting gold on your face and saving face.

"It's still a sister-in-law, I'll thank you in advance, go back to kill pigs at home, and you take your brother-in-law and a few children back to eat pig-killing dishes." Yin Youlan said with a smile.

Xu Dangjia really had no choice, Lin Mei was not at home at this time, she bit it, found a big basket, and put everything in, the bag of rice was a hundred catties, and it didn't matter if they could hold it or not, they put the things on the ground, grabbed a chicken, and killed the chicken with a kitchen knife in their hands.

Yin Youlan saw that the stove woman cut down the two chickens viciously, and she was so frightened that she didn't stop for a moment, and dragged the big basket and walked out.

I don't know when it snowed outside, Yin Youlan's hands were red from the cold, she looked at a basket of things, gritted her teeth, found a rope, tied it up and carried it on her shoulder, although it was a little difficult, but she still staggered away.

Zhou Ximei was worried about her when she looked at her from behind, and wanted to stop her and find her a carriage, but when she thought that her sister-in-law was an iron rooster that didn't pull out a dime, and she had to dig out the money for the carriage for her, she stopped thinking about it.

At dinner, the family sat around the dining table in Furong Hall, and Father Lin was full of joy waiting to eat shabu mutton. As a result, as soon as the dish was served, a large bowl of chicken soup and chicken, a plate of fried shredded radish, and a plate of shredded cabbage were gone.

Suddenly, he put on a straight face and asked, "Didn't you say that you would eat shabu mutton this morning?" As for this mutton, it shouldn't be ready yet. ”

Xu Dangjia knew that he couldn't get past today's events without giving an explanation, so he was standing next to him after serving, waiting for the master to ask.

"Back to the master, the mutton was given to her sister-in-law by the wife, and the eldest lady specially asked me to keep this chicken to try the new dish. But that's all there is to it at home, and if you don't make it, you'll only have radishes and cabbage for dinner tonight. Xu Dangjia made this matter simple and clear in front of his wife.

"Nonsense, didn't I see a few pieces of tofu and other vegetables?" Zhou Ximei didn't expect her to tell this matter so directly, and what is even more amazing is that she only made these three dishes, you must know that there are now eight masters in this family plus the Zhou family sisters, a total of ten people, this is enough to eat.

"Mrs. Hui, the eldest lady doesn't like to eat dried vegetables; The second lady doesn't like to eat tofu; The third lady doesn't like to eat pumpkin, but there are only these three dishes at home. The slave and maid are also very embarrassed. "Xu is not afraid of her, and I believe that several masters will not dismantle their own platform.

Lin Mei doesn't like to eat dried vegetables, this is something that the Lin family knows, and Lin Mei is tired of eating it just after crossing over.

Father Lin squinted at the daughter-in-law next to him, frowning, this mutton has been given away, and it will be useless to pursue this matter, thinking that it is better to leave her a little dignity, and go back to the house to talk to her again.

Lin Mei heard that the chicken she kept to try the new dish was gone, and she wanted to say something, so she looked at Daddy Lin's embarrassed face, endured it, and then looked at the radish and cabbage, and lost her appetite even more.

"Aunt Xu, please make me a bowl of noodles and send it to my house." After saying that, he left the Furong Hall.

This is the first time that Lin Mei called Xu Dangjia "Aunt Xu", and Xu Dangjia knew that this was the master's support for himself in disguise, and he immediately responded happily.

Shanzi was not a picky person, but after listening to the eldest sister's words, he also said that he wanted to eat noodles, and followed the eldest sister and left.

Peaches and Xi'er didn't know how to talk, and they also shouted to eat noodles and went back to the East Wing.

The sisters of the Zhou family don't understand the Tao here, especially Zhou Qingman, who sat on the stool stupidly and ate it, and muttered in a low voice: What a group of fools, how can noodles be as delicious as chicken.

When Father Lin saw Lin Mei looking at his disappointed eyes when he was leaving, his heart was full of fire, and he still had an appetite, so he didn't even move his chopsticks, and turned around and went back to the main house.

Zhou Ximei's heart was full of alarm, knowing that if she didn't give him a reasonable explanation for this matter, it would probably leave a thorn in his heart. Zhou Ximei didn't eat either, and after telling the Zhou sisters a few words, she followed back to the main house to coax Daddy Lin.

"Master, listen to me explain to you, I really didn't know it would become like this. My sister-in-law came today to kindly invite our family to eat pig-killing dishes, I thought to myself that Meizi was busy, Shanzi and Xiaobao are now studying in a private school, and they can't leave when the time comes, so they directly rejected my sister-in-law. ”

"But you shouldn't have given it all to her." Daddy Lin was holding his breath in his heart.

"You also know that since Dabao's father left, I have been such a big brother helping me and taking care of me and my children. Now the eldest girl and the eldest nephew are going to kiss again, and my eldest brother has to save the dowry and the bride price, so the family has not eaten a meal of meat for a long time. I think my eldest brother loved me and the child so much at the beginning, but now I heard that they are so thin that there are only a handful of bones left. I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, I thought I was waiting for you to come back and discuss with you, but my sister-in-law couldn't wait, it was still snowing, I was afraid that she would go back late alone, and there was something wrong on the road, so I gave it to her, in fact, there was not much mutton, and it was only ten catties, and then I went to the bones, and there was not much meat left. Zhou Ximei looked at Daddy Lin and didn't know the truth, and wanted to prevaricate and fool the past.

When Father Lin heard this, he didn't know whether it was true or not, and carefully looked at his daughter-in-law's expression, but if he didn't believe it anymore, it was estimated that the tears in her eyes would stay, and Father Lin couldn't see her crying now.

"Forget it, forget it, you can't do this in the future, even if you feel sorry for your eldest brother and want to give something, you can tell me in advance, I'm not that cautious person, let's prepare it in advance and send it over, it won't be as embarrassing as today."

Zhou Ximei saw that he was no longer pursuing it, so she agreed, and her hanging heart could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
