Chapter 14

When Chen Jiao went out with the basin of water with a red face.

Wu Guilan and her daughter were busy cutting vegetables and feeding chickens in the yard. Only Lu Lingyang was still standing vigilantly at the door, afraid that she would do something to his father.

Seeing her come out, Lu Lingyang quickly ran in to see his father.

Seeing that his father was fine, he came out and looked at Chen Jiao warily and suspiciously.

Shen Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to the little hedgehog.

After such a delay, it was almost dark.

She also hurried into the kitchen to prepare cooking.

When Wu Guilan finished feeding the chickens and entered the kitchen, she saw Chen Jiao beating a large bowl of rice and preparing to steam white rice.

She also took out the remaining piece of pork belly she mentioned and prepared to cook it.

Chen Jiao didn’t notice Wu Guilan’s distressed expression, and said with a smile: “Mom, tonight I will gather some lean meat and chop it into minced meat, beat some eggs, chop some chopped vegetable leaves and cook them into porridge for Zhengxu to drink.”

“Cook the remaining meat, pinch some garlic leaves, and stir-fry the pork.

When cooking meat, you can also cook some vegetable leaves in the soup. The leaves will be fragrant and the soup will taste good. ”

Chen Jiao arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Wu Guilan’s face twitched with pain.

He said carefully: “Jiaojiao, there is still some chicken soup left from your lunch, why don’t we heat up the soup and stir-fry some vegetables.

Should we save this meat for tomorrow? ”

Although the son brought back more than 3,000 yuan, he still had an income of 78 yuan and more than 30 kilograms of grain every month.

But raising two children costs money, and my son’s condition now requires seeing a doctor.

Paying doctors and taking medicine is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, it won’t last.

You have to save a little.

Chen Jiao lived a comfortable life in the space in the apocalypse. She had no habit of eating leftovers, so she naturally forgot about the leftover chicken soup from lunch.

I also forgot that in that era of food and clothing shortages, not only the leftover chicken soup, but even half a whole grain and vegetable pancake should not be wasted.

She slapped her head and said, “Hey, I was just thinking about Zhengxu coming back and we should have something delicious to celebrate, but I forgot that there was still chicken soup left over from lunch.”

“Okay, Mom, I’ll make porridge for Zhengxu.

Steam some rice and stir-fry some vegetables, and then we’ll eat. ”

“Yeah, okay.” Wu Guilan responded.

In fact, she felt bad about eating white rice, but when she thought about how her daughter-in-law had always wanted to eat and dress well, she felt very lucky that she was willing to change her mind and live a good life with them.

She couldn’t just not give her daughter-in-law any white rice and let her eat bran and vegetables with them!

After Chen Jiao prepared the meal, Lu Lingyang brought Lu Yaling to help put the food and dishes on the table.

The two little ones were sensible enough to serve the rice and set out the chopsticks, waiting for Wu Guilan and Shen Jiao to eat together.

Chen Jiao sat at the table and called Wu Guilan, “Mom, come and eat before you get busy.”

Wu Guilan smiled and said, “Jiaojiao, take care of the kids and eat first. Mom has something else to do.”

Wu Guilan said this and went into the kitchen.

Although Chen Jiao was puzzled about what Wu Guilan was going to do, she respected her and did not interfere. She called the two children and said, “Let’s eat first!”

In order to lose weight, Shen Jiao only ate a small amount of rice and some vegetables, which she finished quickly.

But Wu Guilan hasn’t come yet.

After instructing Lu Lingyang and Lu Yaling to eat well, she went into the kitchen.

But he found Wu Guilan sitting on a tree stump in front of the stove, eating a bowl of black stuff.

Chen Jiao could tell at a glance that the black substance was the grain powder in the rice jar whose raw materials could not be identified.

“Mom, why don’t you go eat and eat this here?”

Wu Guilan looked up and saw Chen Jiao, and quickly wiped the black stain on her mouth, and said with a flattering smile: “Jiaojiao, you, Yangyang, and Nannan can just eat the rice.

My mother is old, and she eats too fine food, which makes her stomach uncomfortable, so she stops eating. ”

Chen Jiao knew that Wu Guilan was worried about the food, and was just thinking about how to persuade her.

Then I heard two little voices coming from behind, “Grandma, if you don’t want to eat, we won’t eat either.”

“Nannan also eats black porridge with grandma.”

Lu Lingyang and Lu Yaling stood at the door, their chubby little faces full of stubbornness.

Wu Guilan: “This…”

Seeing this, Chen Jiao helped Wu Guilan up and said, “Mom, we are a family. Whether we eat meat or vegetables, we must share the joys and sorrows together.”

When Wu Guilan heard what Chen Jiao said, she was slightly stunned.

Tears of joy flashed in her eyes unconsciously, “Okay, Mom will go eat with you. We are a family, and we share the joys and sorrows together.”

When they returned to the table, Chen Jiao served Wu Guilan a bowl of white rice and selected a few pieces of good chicken and put them in Wu Guilan’s bowl.

I also didn’t forget to give two pieces of chicken with the most meat to each of my two children.

“Thank you, Mom.”

The little girl’s pretty eyebrows were curved, and she thanked Chen Jiao in a sweet voice.

She even struggled to pick up a piece with her chopsticks and put it into Shen Jiao’s bowl, and said sweetly, “Mom, eat too.”

Lu Lingyang looked at Chen Jiao with a wary and suspicious look in his eyes.

Has this woman really changed for the better or is she plotting something?

Lu Lingyang awkwardly picked up a piece of chicken for Chen Jiao, and said in a cold and hard voice: “You eat too!”

Chen Jiao was trying to lose weight, so she didn’t plan to eat it.

But after all, it was the children’s kindness, so she ate two more pieces of chicken before putting down her chopsticks.

Wu Guilan looked at her in surprise, “Jiaojiao, you don’t want to eat anymore?”

Shen Jiao smiled and said, “Mom, I’m almost done eating.”

Wu Guilan looked even more surprised.

She knew her daughter-in-law’s appetite very well. She would eat at least three bowls of rice in one meal, and also a large bowl of meat. She didn’t like to eat vegetables.

Wu Guilan then remembered that Chen Jiao had not eaten much rice or meat at noon today, and only ate more vegetables.

How come my daughter-in-law’s taste changed so much all of a sudden?

Chen Jiao looked at the surprise and suspicion on Wu Guilan’s face, a shy look appeared on her face, and she said a little embarrassedly:

“Mom, I plan to eat less and lose weight in the future.

Zhengxu is back. If Zhengxu wakes up one day and sees me so fat and ugly, he will definitely not like me. ”

Women dress up to please themselves.

There’s nothing wrong with her losing weight in order to make her man like her!

The doubts on Wu Guilan’s face were instantly dispelled, and she even took Shen Jiao’s bowl to serve her rice, “What weight loss?

You are not fat!

Women need to have more flesh. More flesh makes you look rich and brings good luck to your husband…”

Chen Jiao quickly stopped Wu Guilan, “Mom, I know whether I look good or not.

I really want to lose weight!

If you serve me food again, I will be angry! ”

Wu Guilan was afraid that Chen Jiao would be angry.

She was so scared that her hands trembled. Now that her daughter-in-law had finally become a good person, she didn’t want her to become her unruly self again if she got angry.

She quickly stopped, “Okay, okay, Jiaojiao, if you want to lose weight, mom won’t serve you any more food.”

Chen Jiao heaved a sigh of relief and discussed with Wu Guilan: “Mom, I want to go to the city tomorrow.

Go buy some eggs and meat. Zhengxu is injured and lying in bed, and he needs nutrition. The two children’s bodies have been badly depleted before, so they also need to be replenished.

I also plan to buy an electric fan. ”

Wu Guilan’s face changed, and she moved her lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

She had only heard about high-end items like electric fans before, but had never thought about buying one for herself!

In the past, she would not dare to refute Shen Jiao’s opinion.

But now she wanted to discuss it with Shen Jiao.

However, before she could finish her words, Chen Jiao explained: “It’s too hot now, and Zheng Xu sweats every day when he lies in bed.

Although we can wipe his body every day, it is always uncomfortable to have sweat wrapped around his body.

With the electric fan blowing, he felt cooler and felt more comfortable lying down. ”

Wu Guilan gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, Jiaojiao, go buy it.

We can’t save the money that should be spent! ”

“Hey!” Chen Jiao responded, looking at Lu Yaling with a smile, “Nannan, do you want to go to the city with your mother tomorrow?

Mom bought you snacks and some beautiful flower hairbands. ”

She didn’t want to take Lu Lingyang, the little hedgehog, out, but she was happy to take her sweet and soft little girl with her.

Lu Yaling’s beautiful grape-shaped eyes lit up instantly.

She has never been to the city in her life!

From Dajiang Village, only Sister Chunhua from the captain’s grandfather’s family has been to the city. Sister Chunhua said that the city is very fun.

There are so many good things in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lu Yaling was about to nod happily, but Lu Lingyang stood in front of her and answered first: “Sister, I won’t go!”

This evil woman is still intent on doing evil. She just wants to take my sister into the city and sell her!

When Chen Jiao met the little hedgehog’s vigilant eyes, she knew what the little hedgehog was thinking.

She raised her eyebrows nonchalantly, “Okay, then I’ll go into the city alone tomorrow.”

Seeing the little girl lowering her head in disappointment.

Chen Jiao reached out and patted her little head gently, “Nannan, stay home and wait for mom to come home with your brother.

When mother came back, she also bought snacks and a flowery hairband for her daughter. ”

“Yeah!” The sweet and soft little girl nodded heavily with her beautiful big eyes sparkling, and Shen Jiao’s heart was almost melted by its cuteness.

“His fourth aunt, are you home?”

Chen Jiao had just finished talking to her little girl when there was a knock on the door.
