One child, eight treasures, broke the in-laws' family, ten generations of single heirs, and was

"You were just about to eat. That's perfect. I brought a packet of braised beef in soy sauce that I brought from home for you to try. You can have more dishes." Song Cenyue smiled sweetly and handed the braised beef in soy sauce wrapped in oil paper to Dong Jinhua.

"Beef in soy sauce! This is a good thing. It's too expensive. How can we accept it? Take it back quickly. Keep it for yourself... I heard that beef is a tonic. You are growing up now. You should eat something tonic."

Dong Jinhua showed a surprised expression and quickly looked at the braised beef wrapped in oil paper in Song Cenyue's hand. In fact, she had seen Song Cenyue holding something in her hand just now, but she didn't expect that the oil paper would contain braised beef.

As for beef, I’ve only heard of it but never eaten it.

I heard that beef is much more delicious than pork and is very nutritious, so it is a good thing.

But neither the production team where her mother's family lived nor the Yongfeng production team raised cattle. They couldn't afford to do so, and even if they did, they couldn't kill them for food.

At that time, cattle were considered the most valuable livestock because they could be used for farm work. Even if a cow died of illness, it had to be handed over by the commune and sent to the city, where it would be slaughtered and fed to the Hui people living there.

So even though she is this old, she has only seen what a cow looks like, but has never known what beef tastes like.

I really want to try it and see what this beef tastes like, but such a good thing is too expensive, so I can't accept it.

"Aunt, you are so kind. You thought about my growth and let me eat something nourishing... You don't have to worry about me, because I have already eaten it. You can give it to my uncle and Brother Zhang to try."

Song Cenyue said with a smile, and then handed her the tea and osmanthus cake in her hand.

"I also brought a bag of tea from home, and two packages of osmanthus cakes. The tea is specially for my uncle, and the osmanthus cakes are for you, Xiaomeng, Xiaoyun, and Xiaobo. I heard that women and children love to eat osmanthus cakes... Of course, my uncle and Brother Zhang can eat it too!"

Dong Jinhua was surprised again. She actually gave tea and osmanthus cake. These things were good things in the countryside. How could this girl give so many good things at once? Although she was happy, she dared not accept them.

"My daughter, why did you send so many things? Take them back..." Dong Jinhua refused to take them and pushed the things back.

"Why should I take it back? I brought it just to give it to you... Aunt, just accept it. It's not something expensive, just some food..." Song Cenyue forced the things on Dong Jinhua, but Dong Jinhua refused to take them and forced the things back on Song Cenyue.

"It's not expensive. These things are very expensive, especially the braised beef, which is extremely expensive... We can't take it..."

"What are you doing? Miss Cen Yue is here. Why don't you invite her into the house and have dinner with us? Why are you staying in the yard all the time?" Suddenly, Zhang Shengjin's voice came from behind.

Zhang Shengjin, who was in the room, had also heard Song Cenyue knocking on the door and her calling. When he saw his wife opening the door, he thought he would see her soon. However, he found that she had not come to the main room. He felt strange and got up and went out to check.

His two sons Zhang Jianxing and Zhang Jianbo, his eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Xiaomeng, and his daughter Zhang Xiaoyun also followed him out of the hall to take a look out of curiosity.

"This girl Cen Yue gave me braised beef with soy sauce, osmanthus cake, and a bag of tea. These things are too expensive, so I dare not accept them. I asked her to take them back, but she didn't want to and insisted that I take them." Dong Jinhua heard her man's voice and immediately turned around to look in the direction of the sound. After seeing her husband, she said.

"Uncle, it's not something expensive, just some food and drinks I brought from home, it's not worth much, just take it... I made this braised beef myself, you guys try my cooking...

As for the osmanthus cake, it is specially sent to my aunt, Xiaomeng, Xiaoyun and Xiaobo. I heard that these women and children love to eat osmanthus cake... Of course, my uncle and Brother Zhang, you can eat it too!

As for the tea, it is specially sent to you to drink. It is not easy to get some tea in this rural area. I happened to bring some tea, so I sent it to you, uncle." Song Cenyue heard Zhang Shengjin's voice and turned around to look back. Seeing Zhang Shengjin and his children and daughters-in-law, she smiled.

Zhang Shengjin and his sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law, like Dong Jinhua, had only heard of beef but had never eaten it. They naturally knew how expensive beef was and were all surprised. They did not expect that Song Cenyue could get something as expensive as beef and give it to them to eat. They thought she was really willing to give it away.

"Thank you, girl Cen Yue. I appreciate your kindness. I'm as happy as if I had eaten something. But these things are too expensive, especially the beef. I can't eat it. You can take it back and eat it." Zhang Shengjin waved his hand as he walked towards Song Cen Yue.

"Dad, I want to eat braised beef in soy sauce. I have never eaten beef before and I don't know what it tastes like..." Zhang Jianbo, who was still young and greedy, was so excited and happy to hear about braised beef in soy sauce. He wanted to taste the flavor of braised beef in soy sauce and shouted to his father.

"I want to eat osmanthus cake..." Zhang Xiaoyun also opened her mouth and shouted. She wanted her father to keep the osmanthus cake. Although she also wanted to eat braised beef, what she wanted most was osmanthus cake.

She had only eaten osmanthus cake once in her life, at a relative's house in the city. She would never forget how delicious the osmanthus cake was, and she dreamed of eating it.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative on the team did not have osmanthus cake. Although the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune had it, it was too expensive, costing 83 cents. Although her father was the team leader and her mother was a frugal family, and their family conditions were better than other families, 83 cents was still too expensive for her and she could not afford it.

The work points in their production team were worth low points, only two cents a day. She could earn six or seven points a day, which meant she could only earn a little over ten cents a day. Although she could only earn 83 cents to buy osmanthus cake after working for seven or eight days, the money and food she earned were all given directly to her family.

My mother always says that she eats too much and what she earns is not enough for her to eat. This is true!

Therefore, she did not keep the money and food she earned for herself, but gave them directly to her family. She had no thoughts about it, and did not dare to have any opinions. Other unmarried girls were like her. They gave the money and food they earned directly to their families, and not to themselves.

Compared with the unmarried girls in the same team, she was considered better off, because her mother and father loved her and gave her pocket money. Although they only gave her five cents or ten cents each time, or no more than two cents, it was not much, but it was considered good. After all, few unmarried girls in the same team came from families that gave them pocket money, and some did not even give her a penny throughout the entire year.

So it was already good for her to have that little pocket money, but she was the type who could not save money and spent it as soon as she got it. Therefore, she had never been able to save enough money to buy osmanthus cake, and she could never eat the osmanthus cake that she had been craving for.

Even if you can save enough money to buy osmanthus cake, you still need a cake ticket to buy it.

They seldom issue tickets in the rural area. They only issue cloth coupons once a year, and don't even think about getting cake coupons.

Now Song Cenyue sent two packets of osmanthus cake, which finally gave her the opportunity to fulfill her wish and eat as much as she wanted, so she hoped her father would accept the osmanthus cake.

Zhang Shengjin felt ashamed when he saw his youngest son and daughter's greedy expressions. Dong Jinhua and his eldest son and daughter-in-law also felt a little ashamed. They were all embarrassed.

"What a shameful thing!" Zhang Shengjin glared at his younger son and daughter with some shame and anger.

Song Cenyue smiled, "Uncle, why are you scolding Xiaobo and Xiaoyun? If they want to eat, just give them. I brought these things to you." She ran towards Zhang Jianbo and Zhang Xiaoyun, stuffed the braised beef into Zhang Jianbo's mouth, and handed the osmanthus cake to Zhang Xiaoyun.

“You are not allowed to accept…”

"Uncle, I am so sad when you are like this. When you asked me to come to your dinner, you said that we would be relatives and family members in the future. Now I, your relative and family member, send you some food, but you and your aunt refuse to accept it, and you don't even let Xiaoyun and Xiaobo accept it. What do you mean by this?

Were all the things you said to me before just polite words? You didn't treat me as a relative or a family member at all? Were all the things you said before just lies to me?" Song Cenyue frowned slightly.

Zhang Shengjin hurriedly shook his head, "No, I didn't lie to you. How could I lie to you? What I said to you before was definitely not polite. I told you the truth from my heart..."

"What's wrong with me, your relative and your own family, sending you some delicious food? Why can't you accept it? Why are you being polite... Being polite is for outsiders. Only you need to be polite to outsiders, not to your own people." Song Cenyue said.

"When I came to your house before, you fried meat for me, killed chickens for me, and gave me white rice. You were so good to me. Now I'm giving you some braised beef, cakes, and tea. It's nothing! Don't feel burdened, just accept it with confidence!"

Zhang Shengjin knew that Song Cenyue had said so much, so he had to accept it, otherwise he would be ungrateful and would make the girl feel disappointed.

He nodded to his youngest son and daughter and said, "Take it."

Great! I can eat braised beef in soy sauce!

That’s great, I can eat osmanthus cake!

Zhang Jianbo and Zhang Xiaoyun were both very happy, their mouths raised high, and they shouted in unison: "Thank you, Dad..."

"Why should you thank me? You should thank your sister Cenyue!" Zhang Shengjin pointed at Song Cenyue.
