The retired rough man dotes on his mother
Chapter 30 Beef Curry
There are plenty of watches in the space, so it’s not impossible to sell a few to Sister Lan.
"My relative has some. I just saw him selling two watches. If I go and get them, he should give me 160 yuan each. Sister, if I give them to you, it will be 165 yuan each. Do you think you can accept the price?"
Xie Lan had worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for so many years, so of course she knew the price of watches. Watches were also a hot commodity, and a watch could be sold for 180 yuan without a ticket.
"Sister, why not? I'm grateful to you. You're such a capable person. Please get me eight watches first. When can you bring them?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go get it. Just wait for me in the alley where we met last time."
"Okay, I'll go collect the money from the owner of the watch and give you the cash later."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
Xiao Baoer took a stroll, walked through several alleys to kill time, and accidentally sold 50 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, 200 eggs, and even 20 kilograms of pork, earning dozens of yuan. He also took time to go to the Public Security Bureau, mainly to report Li Sufen and the widow Qin.
When they arrived at the alley, Sister Lan was already waiting. Xiao Baoer took out eight brand new watches from her backpack. Sister Lan handed her 8 yuan. After the two agreed on the next time to come, Xiao Baoer left.
I bought candied haws for Dabao and Erbao and put them in the backpack. Then I took out egg cakes, biscuits, spare ribs, beef, apples, oranges, cherries, milk powder, milk, 20 meat buns, etc. from the space and put them in the backpack.
When he saw that it was getting late and it was too late to walk back, he took out his bicycle from the space in a deserted place, rode all the way back to the village, and put it back into the space when he reached the village entrance.
I took the three children home from the fields, put a large basin of water in it for them to play in, and also put some bath toys in it.
Xiao Baoer was cooking in the kitchen, preparing some fried tofu, some stir-fried pork with green beans, some curry beef, and some sweet and sour pork ribs. As for the rice, she just brought a bowl from the space.
First, I fried the tofu and beans with shredded pork, and then started to make sweet and sour pork ribs and curry beef. I took the curry and other ingredients from the space and started cooking.
Sweet and sour spare ribs and curry beef are not difficult to make. As long as you put enough ingredients, the taste will not be too bad.
These days, Xiao Baoer would take the children to the fields to deliver meals to Shen's father and mother after dinner.
"Is it delicious? What you are eating now is curry beef." Xiao Baoer asked Dabao and Erbao.
"Delicious, Mom, these dishes are all delicious, but the meat is the best."
Because it was for children, Xiao Baoer stewed the beef until it was very mushy.
After dinner, the three children each drank some hawthorn and pear paste water, which was sour and sweet and was the children’s favorite drink.
Xiao Baoer used three lunch boxes to hold the leftover stir-fried pork with green beans, sweet and sour pork ribs, and curry beef, and an enamel bowl to hold the rice. She found it too heavy to hold, so she used Sanbao's cart to push it.
When they got to the field, everyone ate in the shade at the edge of the field.
"Hey, Zhensheng's family, what delicious food are you sending to your mother-in-law?"
Wang Pandi came over with her granddaughters. She had seen Xiao Baoer distributing meat to the children in the old house a few days ago, and she brought her granddaughters over just to take advantage of it.
Shen's mother also didn't like Wang Pandi. "Sister-in-law, why do you care what my daughter-in-law sends me? What's your business? You just sit here and worry about it all the time."
Second uncle Shen Pingdong also came over and wanted to have a bite of meat, "I'm talking to Ping'an family, what are you talking about? Your second sister-in-law is also concerned about your family."
"Then I really want to thank you. But second brother, your family doesn't even care about my parents, so how can you care about my family? It's like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. You don't have any good intentions."
Xiao Baoer ignored them and opened the lunch box and enamel basin. There were too many people here and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she talked while serving the rice.
"Mom, Zhensheng just sent me some money, saying that it's time for the autumn harvest, and he wants you and dad to eat more good food to replenish your bodies. Come eat quickly."
Xiao Baoer's two sentences not only dispelled the villagers' doubts about her family's good food, but also spoke of Shen Zhensheng's filial piety, which made Shen Erbo's family grit their teeth.
Shen's father and mother were overjoyed when they heard this. The third child was really filial.
"Oh, my third son is really filial, and his wife is also a good one. She cooks delicious food, which makes me drool."
As he said this, he looked at Wang Pandi, who was swallowing saliva frantically, wishing he could snatch the lunch box from Shen's mother's hand.
But no one let her have a taste. Shen's mother even ran to a field nearby and gave some curry beef and pork ribs to Shen's uncle and aunt.
Xiao Baoer brought a lot of dishes and rice today, so everyone in the old house got a few bites. Wang Xiang not only ate her own quickly, but also asked for some for her three daughters. The three girls watched the others eat meat with eager eyes.
Shen's mother glared at Wang Xiang angrily, and Wang Xiang hid aside to eat.
"Big girl, second girl, third girl, come to grandma." Mother Shen called the three girls.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" The three girls were eating cakes.
Mother Shen and Father Shen each gave them two bites of meat, "Come, eat, eat in front of you."
The three girls squatted in front of Shen's mother and ate. Xiao Baoer felt sad. It was such a sin to meet a mother like Wang Xiang.
Although Li Sanni was not very nice to the four girls, at least she was able to save face. But Mr. Shen and his wife had completely lost their dignity.
"Comrade Shen Zhenjiang," a soft voice called Shen Laowu.
When Xiao Baoer looked, she saw that it was a female educated youth who was on the ox cart when Li Sufen was beaten. Her name should be Jiang Yuqing.
"Jiang Zhiqing, what's the matter?"
Shen Zhenjiang's ears turned red with embarrassment and he even forgot to put the meat in his mouth.
"Come here for a moment. I need to trouble you with something."
Shen Zhenjiang handed the lunch box to Shen Xiuxiu and walked over blankly.
Jiang Zhiqing stuffed two meat buns and a lunch box into Shen Zhenjiang's arms and said, "I brought too much this morning. You can eat it for me. Thank you for helping me yesterday."
After saying that, the little girl ran away, and smiled embarrassedly at Xiao Baoer who was not far away.
Shen Zhenjiang walked over with the lunch box, and Shen's mother asked hurriedly, "What did you do, you little brat? Why did Jiang Zhiqing bring you lunch?"
"I didn't do anything. Yesterday after work, some hooligans at the entrance of the village bullied her, so I just helped her out."
Shen's father said, "It is our duty to help others, but you should not accept their gifts in the future."
Xiao Baoer noticed that the two were shy. Shen Zhenjiang was a reckless person. If he didn't like something, he wouldn't be shy.
"Dad, Mom, Lao Wu took Jiang Zhiqing's things. Why don't we just ask Lao Wu to return them to her? People should always give and take."
"What good things do we have to give back to the girl?"
Xiao Baoer thought for a moment and said, "Old Five, my sister-in-law will bring you some fruit tomorrow morning. Take it when you go to deliver the lunch box to Jiang Zhiqing."
"No need, sister-in-law, please leave it for Dabao and the others." Shen Zhenjiang hurriedly refused.
"Dabao and the others have it, so it's settled. I'll bring it over tomorrow."
After the Shen family finished their meal, Xiao Baoer took the children away. When they left, they happened to pass by the assignment field assigned to the educated youth.
Xiao Baoer said something to Erbao, then handed him some candies and oranges, and Erbao ran towards Jiang Yuqing.
"Sister Zhiqing, these are the candies and oranges my mother gave you. Come and eat them. They are so sweet."
After saying that, Erbao ran away. An educated youth nearby asked Jiang Yuqing, "Yuqing, why did that child give you candy and oranges? Whose child is he?"
Another educated youth said, "Look at the clothes and hat that child is wearing. They are so nice. Apart from Comrade Xiao's family, who else in this village can live so well?"
"Comrade Xiao?"
"Yes, she is the one who sued the village chief's daughter a few days ago. Her husband is an officer and her family is well off. I heard from the villagers that she was not good to her child before, but she has only started to take care of the child recently and raised the child like a child in the city."
"Yuqing, are you familiar with her?"
Jiang Yuqing came back to her senses, "Ah, not very familiar, we rode the ox cart together when we came back from town a few days ago."
