Chapter 16: Nominal Husband and Wife
Dinner was late. I beat a lot of ribs, and I drooled after watching it. Long Hao let it be stewed and let Yu Yu eat well.
You can't rush over a high fire, you can only simmer slowly, and it's almost ten o'clock before it comes out of the pot.
A large pot full of stewed pork ribs was served on the kang, and Yu Yu pounced on it and grabbed a piece. Long Hao hurriedly took it and blew it carefully, until it was no longer hot, and then handed it to Yu Yu.
Steamed half a pot of rice, pure rice. I mixed a cold dish and cooked an egg soup. Anyway, I have to wait for the meat to rot, and I buy a lot of vegetables, and I can eat them if I want.
Originally, Long Hao wanted to stir-fry a hot dish, but was reprimanded by Xu Yi. There is meat, soup, and cold dishes, and then you have to stir-fry, is this the life of a person? He smiled bitterly a few times, but had no choice but to give up.
Long Hao blew two more ribs for Yu Yu, both of which were pure and thin. Seeing Yu Yu shaking his head while eating, he also picked up a piece of pork ribs and took a bite of it.
Incense, and not ordinary incense! In my memory, when I was a child, I could only eat such fragrant meat during the Chinese New Year, which was made by my mother, but it was too little, and I never ate it openly.
After the work, the conditions gradually improved. As long as you want, you can eat pork ribs every day, but you never taste the taste of childhood again.
Eating such delicious pork ribs again today made Long Hao return to his youth, back to the poor but extremely innocent years...... His eyes were a little moist, and he munched on ribs.
"Slow down, how many days have you not eaten?" Xu Yi glared at Long Hao.
"It's not...... It's also too fragrant. Long Hao chewed a few times and swallowed, then lowered his head and took a bite again.
"You just know how to beat meat, and you haven't bought any seasonings, I only have this level, which is far worse than in the city." Xu Yi picked up a piece of pork ribs and ate it slowly.
"No, no, no...... This is the most delicious and purest of the best. The meat in the city is all seasoning, and it is urged by a high fire, or pressed in a pressure cooker, which is completely incomparable to this. ”
"Cut, it will coax people."
"Hey, that's right, it won't coax people, is it still called a man? I've been around town for the past few days and I've bought us a blower, the hand-cranked one. Then pull the carcoal, and the lump coal and coal are all pulled. In the future, I will use charcoal for cooking and burning kang, read books early in the morning, tell some stories to Yu Yu, and stop going out to pick up dung every day. ”
"Look, talking and talking again. Why don't you buy a generator and use electricity directly, wouldn't it be more convenient? Do you need to pull charcoal? ”
"Hey, yes, I'm really going to have to buy a generator. However, that's the next step, not that you can't afford it, it's that it's not time yet. ”
"Not then? When will that happen? ”
"When...... It's hard to say, but don't worry, I'll buy it when it's time to buy it. My aunt and mother-in-law, even if she can't enjoy it, she must not suffer anymore, she must not! ”
"Look, it's as if you haven't suffered." Xu Yi glanced at Long Hao.
"Xiaoyi, I was really sorry for you two before, but I will never have it again in the future. Tomorrow I'll go to town and give us charcoal. Long Hao wiped his mouth.
"There is not necessarily charcoal in the town, so you have to go to the coal mine to pull it. It just rained a few days ago, and the road must not have been rushed, and you didn't see it when you came back? Can it be pulled in? ”
"Heck, that's true, it's very difficult to walk on motorcycles, and cars can't get in at all. I can buy charcoal, but this road is ......."
"Well, that's not something you can do. Hey, are you still going out? Xu Yi raised her big beautiful eyes.
"Why don't you go out? I have to earn us a lot of money, a lot of money, so that you can live a good life. This time I went out and earned some money, except for buying motorcycles and meat, and all the money was there. Long Hao took out a wad of money from his bag.
"Huh? So much money? Xu Yi's eyes widened. Even Yu Yu, who only cared about eating meat, raised his head and stared at the ticket in his father's hand with small eyes.
"That's a little more money? Later...... Let's talk about it later! I can't give it all to you, I have to pretend to have some capital, and I can't rely on Zhiming all the time. Long Hao took a wad of money and handed it to Xu Yi.
"No, no, no...... I can't take your money......" Xu Yi couldn't stop waving her hand.
"What's yours and mine, aren't we family? Take a thousand first, and then give it to you when you earn it. Long Hao grabbed Xu Yi's hand and put the money in Xu Yi's hand.
In fact, he wanted to stuff the money into Xu Yi's pocket, or even in his arms, but he didn't dare. It's finally eased, and it has to be maintained. Besides, it can't be too much, after all, it's just a nominal husband and wife.
"I'm at home with Yu Yu, I don't need any money, and I don't have anywhere to spend it. Otherwise, take one, and you can take all the more, and it will cost you money to go out. Xu Yi took out a ticket and wanted to hand over the rest of the money to Long Hao.
"Just take it for you, and be polite to me? I can't spend much money at home, but I can't do without money, in case something happens, just like that day, I will give him the money if I want it, and I will clean up the grandson when I come back. ”
"That's fine, I'll take it first, and I'll take it out when you use the money later. In fact, it was Xiong Da who bullied me that day, but he did want to bully me all the time, but it was mainly the fifth aunt who was always looking for my fault. ”
"Don't be afraid, if she dares to find fault with you again, I'll beat her old things to death, including her straw bag nephew, and clean it all up."
"Alas...... People are rich and powerful, and they have two sons, so it's not easy to mess with! ”
"Hmph, don't talk about two sons, it's twenty sons, clean him up anyway."
"It's the holidays, so I don't think there's going to be anything. I'm afraid that after school starts, the fifth aunt will continue to find fault. She said that this substitute teaching place was originally won by the fifth uncle for his son, but I came. They always wanted to squeeze me out and let his son substitute for me. ”
"Can his son substitute teach?"
"It's not that I underestimate it, the two sons of the fifth aunt said that they graduated from junior high school, but they are actually not as good as the fourth-grade students in my class, they can't read all the words, what can they do?"
"If that kind of person teaches, won't he mislead people's children? Don't worry about this, wait until school starts. In fact, if you want me to say, it doesn't matter if you take that class or not, how much money can you earn? ”
"Hey, you're fine, right? Five pieces a day, excluding Sundays, there are also thirty-seven or eight pieces in a month! Besides, if I don't substitute for teaching, do I let that kind of person substitute? Isn't that a scourge for children? Xu Yi glared at Long Hao.
"Look at you, that's what I'll say. Rest assured, next semester will definitely be your substitute teacher, as long as you want. Long Hao heard it, Xu Yi was not just for that piece of five, but also for something else.
He held his chopsticks and looked at Xu Yi, his eyes began to glaze again.
It's already beautiful, but when I'm in a good mood, it's even more beautiful. It's still not dressed up, but wouldn't it be wonderful if you dressed up a little? And not only is it beautiful, but that heart is even more ......
"What are you seeing? Dislike! Xu Yi hit Long Hao's chopsticks with his chopsticks, and his face was a little red.
"You're so good-looking, you need to take a few more looks, isn't it, Yu Yu?" Long Hao took out a handkerchief and wiped the remaining small grease nozzle.
"Mom is the best-looking, and Yu Yu is also good-looking." Yu Yu stretched out his little face to Long Hao.
"Well, it's good-looking, our little Yu is good-looking." Long Hao pinched Yu Yu's little face.
"When the rest is full, go to bed, don't play too late." Xu Yi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Mom, I'll play with Dad for a while and go to sleep, okay?" Yu Yu helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Okay, let's play for a while."
