Educated Youth: I have a critical strike system

Lao Xiang's family has a small population. Apart from Old Man Xiang and Xiang Guoguang, there are only two eldest aunts left.

Moreover, the two eldest aunts have already married, so interpersonal relationships are extremely simple.

In addition, her mother-in-law was no longer around, and Chen Ermei gave birth to two fat boys in succession after she got married. It can be said that she was a major contributor to the old Xiang family, and their life was so comfortable.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been troublesome. If there is a mother-in-law on top of her, and if the mother-in-law has a strong temper, no matter how capable the daughter-in-law is, she will inevitably encounter obstacles.

Gao Xiuying had noticed this when she was looking for Chen Ermei's husband. Even though the old Xiang family was very poor, she still chose Xiang Guoguang as her son-in-law. This was what she valued.

Otherwise, there was no one with better conditions than Lao Xiang's family back then, so why did she choose Xiang Guoguang? ?

It's just because after Ermei gets married, she can directly take charge of the family, and there won't be so many bullshit things. Otherwise, Gao Xiuying would be so full that she would push her second daughter into the fire pit.

When she first married into Lao Chen's family, she suffered a lot from this. She didn't want her daughter to be like her, having to endure decades to get ahead.

It was such a sad day, it was simply torture.

"By the way, in-laws, how are your crops? Can the wheat seedlings survive?"

After being intimate with her two grandchildren for a while, Gao Xiuying suddenly asked the old man about his crops.

Old man Xiang was smoking a dry cigarette. When he heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter and he said: "With this situation, I can't tell that the harvest will be cut off. Alas, it won't rain. How will we live in the future?" "

"Mom, where is Wangjiawa?? Is he the same as us??"

"Well, it's almost the same. Alas, I guess there will be another famine. There was one last year and there will be another famine this year. Why are our lives so miserable? God won't let us live."

Hearing Chen Ermei also ask, Gao Xiuying also said with a bitter look on her face.

I finally got through it last year. I originally wanted to work hard this year, but I didn’t expect God to be crazy and not let it rain.

It's hard to live a life like this when we see that all the wheat seedlings are dying due to drought.

Although they worked hard to resist the drought, they even carried water to irrigate the fields every day without their feet touching the ground.

But the speed at which they watered was far slower than when the drought hit, and the little water they poured in was not enough to cover a relatively large area of ​​wheat seedlings.

If God doesn't rain some more, this life will be really unbearable.

"Er Mei, in-laws, you have to be more careful about food in the future. I think there will be another famine this year. If someone asks you to borrow food, be sure not to do so. Your own stomach is the most important thing."

Afraid that the second daughter's family would be foolish, Gao Xiuying followed up with a serious warning.

Chen Ermei and Old Man Xiang both nodded with serious faces.

She didn't need to say anything about this, they knew what to do.

When you can't even take care of your own stomach, how can you take care of other people's homes?

Don't let your family starve to death by then. Isn't that stupid? ?

Last year, their family had three laborers, but now that Chen Ermei has a baby, the labor force has become two. The two of them have to support three idle people, which is still very stressful.

Even Xiang Guoguang nodded extremely seriously at this moment.

Famine is really no joke, it will starve people to death.

"Well, mother, I know that if you and Xiao Wu hadn't brought so much food today, we would have been chewing tree bark. Even if it wasn't for myself, I would have to take care of the food for the sake of the baby in my belly. I won’t give it to anyone who comes to borrow it.”

Chen Ermei said.

He turned to his man and said to Guoguang: "Guoguang, what are you doing here? My mother and Xiao Wu have walked such a long way, they must be hungry. You hurry up and cook. We will have a good meal." pause."

"Yes, Guoguang, go quickly. Your wife has a baby in her belly, so don't be tired."

Old man Xiang listened on the side and urged Guoguang.

Xiang Guoguang hummed and said nothing. He stood up and turned around to get ready to eat.

"There's no rush, Ermei, Guoguang, put these things in the back room first. Why are you in a hurry to cook? It's still early."

Gao Xiuying said.

Chen Ermei nodded, winked at Guoguang, and then the couple moved all the rice, noodles, oil, salt, pork, etc. to the back room.

It's really inappropriate to put these things here, they take up too much space.

After everyone moved to the back room, Chen Ermei sat back to talk to her mother.

Xiang Guoguang went to the kitchen to get a knife, and then went to the back room to cut at least 3 kilograms of pork.

There is nothing delicious at home, so this meat is just the right dish for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Oh, eat meat."

"Eat meat, I want to eat meat."

"You two wild boys, don't make such noises. We have to wait for your father to cook the meat before eating it, so don't make any noises."

When Chen Ermei heard that the first and second children were jumping with excitement when they saw the piece of meat, Chen Ermei couldn't help but laughed and cursed angrily.

Old man Xiang smiled and narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that his mother-in-law would be so generous and willing to do so when she came back, which really impressed him.

In the past, his very aggressive in-laws would not be so generous, but today it was really unprecedented.

It's really rare.

Xiang Guoguang cooks very quickly. Before 4 o'clock, the food is on the table.

Looking at this large pot full of fragrant pork, not only the big and small children drooled, but also several adults kept swallowing their saliva.

The dish is a large pot of pork, and the rice is white rice cooked in a large pot of rice. It would be too troublesome to use flour.

Xiang Guoguang was also willing to give up. Chen Yue could roughly guess how much rice he used with just a glance. He cooked at least 3 or 4 kilograms of white rice, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a big pot.

"Guoguang, my father-in-law, Ermei, please eat them all. Big baby and second baby, come and sit next to grandma and uncle. We all eat as much as we can today."

When Xiang Guoguang brought the pot over, Gao Xiuying took the initiative to help everyone fill the rice bowls, which were full and packed tightly.

"Well, Mom, you and Xiao Wu can eat too, so there's no need to greet us."

Chen Ermei smiled.

The old man Xiang and Xiang Guoguang both nodded. They were all members of the same family, so there was no need to be so polite.

So next, everyone started to immerse themselves in eating. Even the two wild boys didn't bother to talk at this moment. They chewed the fragrant pork with big mouthfuls, and their mouths were full of oil.

Chen Yue was indeed a little hungry now. He also had a mouth full of oil. He even ate three large bowls of rice and his belly was bulging.

After the meal, not only Chen Yue was satisfied, but the others were also extremely satisfied.

Almost all the 3 or 4 kilograms of meat in the basin were eaten, and all the rice was eaten without even a grain left.

"belch.."

After putting down the chopsticks.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw the big baby patting his belly and letting out a long burp.

You may not be able to eat such a good meal once a year, and you can still feel so full. Days like this are indeed rare.
