Chapter Forty-Six: Mom Can You Ask You for Something
A total of eleven steamed buns were brought, and the father gave two to the younger brother, leaving seven. Luo Cheng didn't plan to eat, he wasn't hungry, and he wasn't polite at the noon hospitality meal, he ate a lot, and there was oil and water in his stomach again.
Mom and grandma heard Dad's shout just now, and they all left the room. Grandma is obviously more energetic when she first walked.
"Chengzi, come back and pull it, why did you buy steamed buns again, you don't have many food stamps, don't send them randomly."
"Eldest grandson, come to grandma, it's okay to go to the city."
Steamed buns are not for sale, but this matter will be explained later, and when he heard his grandmother's call, Luo Cheng immediately walked over. Then he continued to Shishi: "Give grandma a steamed bun, and the others are you, my sister and my mother." ”
Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Shishi just wanted to continue to grab steamed buns. I was stunned for a moment, why is there only one grandmother, although it is said that this is the case in the countryside, first eat close to the men, and then eat close to the young people, but it is the elders who take the initiative to back down like that. For example, these eleven steamed buns, let grandma arrange them, and she will definitely take the initiative to eat less.
But Luo Cheng, as a junior, took the initiative to arrange for the elders to eat less, which is a bit ~~ to say something ugly~~, he doesn't respect the old.
"Brother, I'm still young, I'll eat one is enough, let's eat two steamed buns for grandma."
Luo Shishi took the initiative to back down and said, and the grandmother just grabbed Luo Cheng's arm affectionately, and tightened it slightly.
"Listen to your brother, grandma is old and can't eat so much."
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became a little delicate, and I saw that my sister and my mother all had a look of wanting to say something, as if they wanted to say something, but they couldn't help but say nothing.
As the pillar of the family, Rowan also felt that he had to stand up and say something, and wanted to take a step forward, but his feet seemed to have roots, and he just couldn't lift them.
As parents, when they are old, they have to rely on their eldest son. But today's behavior of Luo Cheng, as a father, wants to teach Luo Cheng. But what if things don't go the way you want them to go?
Just now, he and his youngest son had dirt on their hands and wanted to eat steamed buns directly, but they were all managed. has been at home for many years, and since Rowan has been in charge, no one has really taken care of him, at most, there are some things to say, if he wants to listen to it or not, he has to follow his own will.
"Dad, the water is coming, I'll pour it for you, you come to wash it."
Luo Bing filled a spoonful of water at this time, and the spoon was the kind of big gourd cut in half, and a spoonful of water was a lot.
Luo Cheng was also a little inexplicable, as if he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but he didn't think about the distribution of steamed buns. If he knew what his family thought, then he would be wronged to death. He was very partial to his grandmother.
"Milk, you eat less now, and then I will ask my mother to make you a meatloaf soup, and you have to replenish your body. Older people should not eat too much, this steamed bun is not small, just eat a mat. ”
Luo Cheng smiled and said in his grandmother's ear, as for grandma saying that she couldn't eat so much when she was old, he didn't believe it, the day before yesterday, uncles and aunts came to the house, grandma was happy, and she also drank two bowls of porridge and ate a nest.
Meatloaf soup, what are you kidding, now you can't eat any meat during the New Year's Festival, and now you can have meat to eat for no reason.
"Shishi, at the bottom of the backpack, the one wrapped in oil paper, there are two catties of meat in it, give it to my mother, and I will make a meatloaf soup for my grandmother to drink, and we will eat a little meat tonight."
Luo Shishi was really a little frightened, there were still two catties of meat in the backpack that helped her brother carry. I actually came back from the bus station with two catties of meat just now.
The steamed bun is placed on the top, and the cotton gauze asked by the two sisters is placed in the middle, because the width is not wide, even if it is five feet long, it is not much thickness when stacked together. And then there's the wrapped meat underneath.
Because I want to take meat, I can't hide the cotton gauze, so I can only take it out in front of everyone. As soon as this thing was taken out, the rural people knew what it was doing at a glance. These two girls are so amazing that they will privately ask their eldest son who entered the city to bring things. But this is indeed something that women need, and the two girls are not small, which is what they bought here, and if it is anything else, their parents will definitely talk to them in the evening.
A piece of oiled paper package that was not small was taken out by Luo Shishi, and her mother immediately stepped forward to take it in her hand, and did not open the oiled paper, but immediately entered the room. The others also followed into the room in tacit understanding.
The steamed bun is very fragrant, but it can't resist the craving for meat in this era. I didn't wait to tear the oiled paper, but carefully unwrapped it slowly in the order of the package.
When a two-pound piece of pork belly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, except for Luo Cheng, everyone else felt that their breathing was slowing down, and their eyes were staring straight. Especially Luo Bing, this kid, he feels that he can eat the raw meat in front of him.
The only fly in the ointment is that everyone feels that the fat of this piece of meat is not thick, that is, there is less fat.
How to eat this piece of meat, really plan it well. Luo Bing looked at the meat, solved a steamed bun in a few bites, and felt that the steamed bun had the smell of meat.
Give points to uncles and aunts, yes, but it's not necessary. If they can't live anymore and can't open the pot, then even if they don't have enough to eat, they will be relieved to get some food. But they don't have any elders to support, and grandma follows her father's side.
"Chengzi, can my mother beg you something."
Mother Zhang Ling looked at the meat and was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Luo Cheng, and people with a discerning eye know that it has something to do with this meat.
"Mom, don't be like this, there's nothing between us that we can't ask for."
Father and grandmother stood silent, because they could probably guess what Mom was asking for. It's really embarrassing.
When my mother saw Luo Cheng say this, she also spoke, just as my father and grandmother guessed, it was a nephew from my mother Zhang Ling's mother's house.
It also looks like yesterday, my mother went back to her parents' house, and the day before yesterday, my uncle and aunt divided the food and left, and they also discussed some for my mother's mother's side. Twenty catties of stick noodles, twenty catties of sweet potatoes. Because his father Luo Wen and younger brother Luo Bing were going to work in the brigade, his mother didn't bring food to Luo Cheng's uncle's house.
Luo Cheng's uncle is also his mother's brother, and his mother's parents also live with his uncle. I didn't bring food, it's not that I can't resist it, and forty pounds of things are not a problem in my mother's hands, but she's an old lady, and she doesn't dare to bring so much food on the road alone. Some time ago, there were already several incidents of snatching food in the nearby villages, which made people panic.
So after my mother went to her mother's house, it didn't take long for my uncle to bring his two nephews to them. is here to get food, and the eldest son of the uncle, that is, the eldest nephew on the mother's side, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby two months ago, because there is no food, and now they are about to be weaned. The family is worried, and they are already planning to starve to death, so they shouldn't have a baby this year.
After hearing this, my mother was more of her own nephew to her, and she called her aunt. I couldn't hold back yesterday, so I took a pound of rice to my eldest nephew and asked him to go home and boil rice soup to try, after all, he hasn't been completely weaned yet, but he can't send it out.
But everyone knows that if this woman's body can't keep up, even if the rice soup has the effect of milking, it will not be of much use. Seeing this meat today, needless to say, my mother thought of her poor niece and daughter-in-law again.
