Chapter 21: The Delicious Rabbit

"Auntie, this is Boss Wei specially asked his son to bring back to honor you, authentic Chining air-dried rabbit, to ensure that the color and flavor are complete." Li Dong proudly showed off.

"Eh, how much is that?"

There are already very rich dates, I didn't expect such a big surprise, Lu Xiumei knows that there is no love in the world for no reason, she is afraid that her eldest son will be deceived.

"Auntie, don't worry, I just signed a new supply contract with Boss Wei, these are all congratulatory gifts from him, they look valuable, but in fact, there is not much money."

Li Dong vowed that the space had expanded dozens of times, and the output would increase dozens of times in the future, and he really needed a new "supplier".

"Auntie, eat this at night, and occasionally eat ......" The little girl is meatless and unhappy, besides, she hasn't eaten this rabbit meat yet, and she has already been drooling from gluttony.

"Okay, don't make any noise, it just so happens that your cousin is also here, and I'll cook the rabbit tonight." Lu Xiumei is in front of outsiders, she always has to be generous when she loves face. If it is according to her original intention, this rabbit must be left at least half, and it can be used as a Chinese New Year's Eve meal when the child's father returns for the New Year.

"Auntie, how embarrassing is this, it's good for your family to eat, I'm ......"

"Okay, Lu Ling, you are a guest, what are you polite, borrow your cousin's light, and we will enjoy the blessing tonight." Lu Xiumei interrupted Lu Ling's words, if this is spread, what kind of face will she have to go back to her parents' house in the future.

"Little Wu, this is the snack I bought for a few of you, remember to share it with my brothers and sisters, you know?" Li Dong stuffed a large bag of snacks into the little girl's arms.

"Wow, thank you Daguo, I know." The little girl is very happy, she is the youngest in the family, her brothers and sisters will let her, and her nostrils are bubbling with beauty.

Lu Xiumei took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot for the little girl, the weather has been a little cold recently, and it seems that she is going to add a few thick clothes to the children.

Lu Ling was already extremely shocked at this time, how high is the living standard of this aunt's family? As soon as she came yesterday, my aunt bought meat and prepared a sumptuous dinner, she originally thought that my aunt was just slapping her swollen face and making her fat, just to save face.

Although her grandmother told her in advance that the conditions of her aunt's family had improved, she never expected that it would be so extravagant.

Let's not talk about fruits and rabbit meat, after all, they are still serious food, and they can accept luxury once in a while, but what's going on with that big bag of snacks, is that thing nutritious? It's not as good as the cereal paste, it seems that the aunt's family is not an improvement, but a big deal.

For dinner, Lu Xiumei only made a pot of braised rabbit meat, and the staple food was rice. Of course, more than two catties of rabbit meat is not enough for a pot anyway, and she also deliberately added vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and garlic. The fresh and tender vegetables are soaked in the thick soup of rabbit meat, which is fatty but not greasy, spicy and delicious, and everyone who eats it has a great appetite.

Lu Ling was originally relatively restrained, but she was soon conquered by the deliciousness of rabbit meat, put down her burden, and joined the "battlefield". In the end, a pot of rabbit meat was eaten cleanly, and even the soup was used for bibimbap, and everyone ate it.

"A-Niang, I have something I want to discuss with you."

After dinner, Li Dong went to A-Niang's room, the cousin resolutely refused to sleep in the same room with A-Niang, and Lu Xiumei was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she let her live with the two sisters.

"Did you ask about your cousin? You don't care about this, I'll take care of it. Lu Xiumei didn't want Li Dong to intervene in her mother's family affairs, after all, they were all his elders, which was inappropriate.

"Auntie, where do you want to go?" Li Dong rolled his eyes, how could he be qualified to take care of the bad things in his uncle's house, and then explained: "That's the case, I want you to ask your cousin if she would like to work in our shop?" ”

"How can this work, I'm busy with everything in the store, and then say that your father won't have to go out to work after the New Year, and there will be more manpower at that time."

Since calculating the profits of the store, Lu Xiumei is not willing to let Li's father go out to suffer anymore, relying on the store, it is enough for the family to eat and drink. If Li Dong knew that A-Niang thought like this, he would definitely complain: "My mother, if I hadn't falsely reported the purchase price, I really lived on that little profit, and the whole family would have to drink the northwest wind." ”

"Auntie, listen to me, the purchase of vegetables will increase greatly after the year, and it will definitely not be able to sell it by relying on that store alone. So I'm going to open another branch, and you teach your cousin first, and then I'll let her take charge of the new store. As for Dad, don't worry, I still need his help. ”

"Dongzi, my mother is timid, don't scare my mother. It's only been a long time, why did you open a branch, isn't it too risky? After all, Lu Xiumei is just a housewife, although she has been exercising for several months, she still has a simple small-scale peasant consciousness in her bones.

"Auntie, when is it now, are you afraid that you won't be able to sell vegetables? Besides, even if it loses, it's just that bit of rent, and our family is still at a loss, if we miss this opportunity, I don't know if there will be a next time. ”

Li Dong persuaded bitterly that for him who has space, the risk is infinite and tends to zero. Seeing that Lu Xiumei was still looking down and thinking, Li Dong decided to work harder:

"Auntie, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your younger brothers and sisters, don't you want to earn a little more money and buy each of them a piece of family property?

In this world, if you don't seize the opportunity to fight, you have to struggle at the bottom for the rest of your life......"

"Okay, Dongzi, don't talk about it. You're right, my mother and your father have lived for half a lifetime, and we really can't let you live the same life as us anymore, okay, just do as you say. Lu Xiumei suddenly figured it out, which parent doesn't want their children to live better than themselves, and now that the eldest son has finally won the opportunity, he really can't give up.

"Ah, mother, you've figured it out, great, don't worry, our family's life will definitely get better and better." Li Dong said excitedly, he finally changed A-Niang's thinking, and it will be much more convenient in the future.

"Mother dreams of it. I'll ask about your cousin later, there shouldn't be any problem, she helped the store sell vegetables yesterday afternoon, and she did a decent job. Besides, this job is much easier than she used to be. Lu Xiumei said affirmatively.

"Well, that's good, mother, I think so, my cousin is a relative after all, she can't be too harsh, I plan to give her a salary of two hundred yuan a month, and food and accommodation are in our house, do you think this is appropriate?"

This salary is already very good for a woman, you must know that the female workers in the textile factory work thirteen or four hours a day and night, and the salary is about 300 yuan, which is not covered, and the food is definitely not as good as their own.

"Your cousin must be willing, her original salary was only 150 yuan, which is not as much as our family." Lu Xiumei didn't expect her eldest son's conditions to be so good, if it was before, she would have wanted her eldest daughter to drop out of school to replace her.

"It's good if it's suitable, then you have to teach your cousin well, she will be your first employee in the future, and your boss has to take care of it." Li Dongjian solved all the problems, and joked with A-Niang in a good mood.

"How can there be a boss who still works by himself, say go out and laugh to death, get out, my mother is going to find your cousin."

After saying that, he kicked Li Dong out of the room and went to his daughters' room alone.
