In the age of rebirth, I became popular in the pastoral live broadcast

As soon as the meat buns and pastries were brought out, the Zhao family was shocked. In their disbelieving eyes, someone subconsciously murmured, "My dear mother..."

There are more than a dozen big meat buns, pure white flour, plump and fragrant. The impact can be imagined, and you can't hide it and you are already salivating.

If it weren't for the adults holding it, several children would have pounced on it and grabbed it.

Zhao Baoqing, the head of the family, was the first to wake up and felt sorry for her. There was a hint of reproach in his tone, "What are you doing? Why did you buy so many buns?"

How many food stamps and meat stamps will this cost? These are the two things that the villagers are most in need of.

Before Song Hongguo could open her mouth to explain, she heard Zhao Zhenhua say with a smile, "Dad, why else is this? Of course, my cousin is honoring you and your mother, and more importantly, my cousin is buying a house today. This is a big deal, and I have to eat something good. Celebrate?"

There is nothing wrong with this. Although others are also distressed, they are more worried that Zhao Baoqing will ask Song Hongguo to take the bun back and he will not be able to eat it in his mouth, so they also agree in a roundabout way.

Song Hongguo only had to nod obediently and cooperate.

Seeing this, Zhao Baoqing couldn't say the words in his stomach. He sighed and waved his hands, "Let's all sit down and eat."

The old saying is true. When people are poor, their ambitions are easily short-lived. If they don’t have any fat in their stomachs, who can bear the meat buns?Even he couldn't go against the wishes of the whole family. He could only help out more in the future to return the favor.

……

Song Hongguo was a guest, so she was naturally placed at the table on the Kang, with Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan next to her on the left and right.

Zhao Baoqing introduced her to the family members. The Zhao family was not divided, with four sons and two daughters. Except for the eldest daughter who was married, everyone else lived in this courtyard. However, the youngest son and daughter were not at home at the moment.

Song Hongguo called them one by one, which was considered as acknowledgment of relatives.Next, they started eating, and she saw with her own eyes the control that a mother-in-law has over her son and daughter-in-law.

These days, because food is scarce, meals are rationed, and the power of dividing the rations lies in the hands of the mother-in-law. Who will eat more and who will eat less depends on her thoughts. One, half for the older grandchildren, and those under six years old can only drink water.

Everyone is used to all this.

But there is something different today. In addition to steamed buns, there are also steamed buns, one for each of the sons, and one for the daughter-in-law and her own children to taste.

Song Hongguo felt unspeakable in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She had a small appetite and didn't ask for steamed buns. She only ate a steamed stuffed bun stuffed with cabbage. She picked up a few dishes with her chopsticks and never touched them again. There was no oil, and no matter how good the cook was, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, she still had the crispy pan she brought.

The crispy pot has long been cold, but in the local area, people prefer to eat it cold. The reddish-brown soup solidifies like jelly, which shows how oily and watery it is, but it is not greasy at all when you eat it.

The crispy pot was naturally placed on the main table. Several children eager to eat it came over eagerly. Zhao Baoqing scolded a few words, but he also gave them a chopstick to taste.

"It's delicious."

“It tastes better than grandma’s cooking!”

"This meal is better than the one we had during the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Zhenhua laughed and said, "To be honest, what is in here? The pork belly and pig's trotters, and even the tofu are deep-fried. How can it not be fragrant? The pot we cook during the Chinese New Year only contains cabbage and kelp." Can frozen tofu, without any oil, compare to this?"

Several children shook their heads in admiration, "It can't be compared, it can't be compared."

"The dumplings on New Year's Eve can't be compared to the dumplings on New Year's Eve." A little boy with a tough head smacked his lips, "The dumplings are not as delicious as the steamed buns."

Zhao Zhenhua laughed louder, "What's the point? Silly son, these are big meat dumplings. You don't even want to put a little bit of oil into the dumplings made by your milk. How can they be delicious?"

"I can't even shut your mouth!" Zhao Baoqing glared at him angrily. Is he exposing his shortcomings on his own like this?Isn’t this short-sighted?

Zhao Zhenhua didn't take it seriously, "My cousin is not an outsider."

He knew in his heart that this cousin was different from other relatives in their family, and even more different from the people in the village. She would not make fun of others because of their shabby lives. She brought so many things to the door to show off, she was just pure. It's just polite.

Zhao Baoqing was not as big-hearted as him. He still felt a little shameless. He gave him a warning look, smiled and scolded him and drove his grandchildren away. He turned to look at Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan who were eating quietly, and then said to Song Hongguo. , "The big ones and the small ones are all ignorant, so you are laughing."

Song Hongguo said hurriedly, "Uncle is a heretic when he says this. Third cousin is right. What's so funny about a family? Besides, what child doesn't like eating delicious food? I like it too."

Her words were pleasant, and Zhao Baoqing's face naturally became more beautiful, and he became more concerned about her affairs. After eating, without waiting for a while, he urged Zhao Zhenhua to clean up the house for her, and he followed suit.

When they arrived, Qiao Yonghui was already waiting at the gate. He only said hello to Zhao Baoqing and didn't even look at Song Hongguo.

Song Hongguo, "..."

I feel like she is a nuisance, and people avoid her.

After opening the door and going in, Zhao Baoqing looked at the cleared front yard and nodded. If he was dissatisfied, he instructed his son to go back to work, "This must be your job. It's just that Yonghui is not as agile as he is. He can't even pull out the grass." It can’t be pulled out cleanly, and it will grow out again when it rains.”

Zhao Zhenhua had enough to eat and drink, and he was good-tempered and allowed himself to be babbled by me.

Song Hongguo was a little embarrassed and spoke for him, "Uncle, my cousin has already tidied up the house. A little grass won't be a problem. I'll do it slowly after you move in. Besides, there's no land without grass." ?”

"It's, it's..."

Seeing that Zhao Baoqing was about to reprimand his son again, Song Hongguo quickly changed the subject, "Uncle, is the water in this pond alive?"

Hearing this, Zhao Baoqing nodded subconsciously, "This water flows from the Red Leaf Valley. It took a lot of effort to bring the living water in. Just laying the stones was a lot of trouble. I don't know what he was trying to do. , we don’t raise fish, but we do plant lotus roots, but our brigade has planted a large area in the reed pond, and we divide it every year, so there is no shortage of lotus roots to eat.”

Zhao Zhenhua said, "Dad, don't you understand this? Uncle Cheng is here to enjoy the scenery. When the lotus blooms in summer, it is called beautiful."

"Huh, enjoying the scenery? Why didn't you say feed the mosquitoes?"

"..."

Mosquitoes breed easily in places with water. This is unavoidable. Zhao Zhenhua has nothing to say, because it is a fact. No matter how clean Uncle Cheng and his wife are, mosquitoes are inevitable. When sitting here to enjoy the scenery at night, you must light mugwort. , otherwise mosquitoes will bite you all over your head.

But none of this is a problem to Song Hongguo. She likes this pond so much. The running water is clear, lotus flowers are planted in it, and it is surrounded by a circle of stones. It is simply made close to her heart.
