Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

Mei Wenhua returned home, but Mei's mother and sister were not back yet.

After putting the bicycle away, Mei Wenhua went into the kitchen to cook.

I'm going to make some more meat stew tonight.

Today, Mei’s mother and younger sister both participated in digging air-raid shelters, which must have consumed a lot of money, so we need to have more hard dishes.

Mei Wenhua took out a chicken from the space, washed it, chopped it into pieces, and stewed it in a pot with spiritual spring water.

With Lingquan water, you only need to add some simple seasonings, and the chicken will be delicious.

After stewing the chicken, Mei Wenhua continued to take out the pork and beef, wash them and cut them into pieces for later use.

Half an hour later, the smell of chicken was already wafting from the kitchen, and Mei's mother and sister came back.

As soon as her sister Mei Lan entered the house, she shouted to Mei Wenhua, "Brother, do you want to stew chicken tonight? You should stew more, preferably two chickens, otherwise there won't be enough!"

When Mei's mother heard her sister's words, she slapped her on the back of the head, "You're the only one with the loudest voice! Who can stew two chickens at once?"

"I feel like I can eat one by myself. If I don't stew two, you and your brother won't have anything to eat!" My sister said and ran into the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, I couldn't wait to open the lid of the pot.

"Don't look, there's only one chicken in it, but there's no problem if you want to eat more meat. I've also prepared pork and beef!"

"That's okay. Mom will be cooking soon. Brother has prepared all the ingredients!" my sister shouted and ran out of the kitchen.

As soon as Mei's mother put the bicycle away, she was pulled into the kitchen by her sister.

Mother Mei looked at the ingredients prepared by Mei Wenhua, without saying much, put on her apron and started to heat the pot.

After a hard day's work today, she also wanted to eat more meat.

Eat more meat at night, and we will continue to dig air-raid shelters tomorrow.

This is a sacred project. Mother Mei just wants to put in more effort and has no intention of being lazy.

Mei's mother was cooking, while Mei Wenhua and her sister were helping her.

While the family was cooking, they were talking about digging an air-raid shelter today.

Mainly, my sister was speaking alone, while Mei Wenhua and Mei's mother were listening to her.

"Mom, let me tell you, those students in our class are really not good at it. They only dug for a few minutes and then had to rest aside for a long time."

"I'm different. When I dig down with my hoe, the soil dug up is enough for them to carry it together!"

"I'm awesome. I was praised by the teacher today. If I hadn't helped my classmates, my own task would have been completed long ago!"

"Yes, yes, you are the best. Hurry up and put the dishes on the left. The stir-fried beef is ready!" Mei's mother ordered with a smile.

Mei's mother knew her sister's character. She was already stronger than the average person, so she must have shown it off deliberately when she encountered such an opportunity.

If you are willing to work hard, it is normal to be praised.

labour is the honour!

Soon, Mrs. Mei had the vegetables ready, including a plate of stir-fried beef, a plate of twice-cooked pork, and a row of cabbage with garlic paste.

"Okay, let's eat!"

"It's dinner, it's dinner, I'll scoop up the chicken." My sister was very positive.

When you scoop the chicken out of the pan, intentionally place the chicken legs on top.

After carrying it to the dining table, place it in front of your seat.

Prepare to start with the chicken legs first!

Mei Wenhua and his family were enjoying their dinner.

Among the neighbors in the courtyard, many people were eating at this time.

Today is not a holiday, but everyone has a tacit understanding to buy some meat to eat.

The whole yard was filled with the smell of meat.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, the eldest mother made braised pork for him, and while eating, she watched him drink.

The second uncle, Yan Bugui, also weighed half a catty of meat today and cooked a large plate full of stir-fried pork with cabbage.

It's not that half a pound of meat can stir-fry so much. It's that a lot of cabbage is added to the meat when it's stir-fried.

On this plate of stir-fried meat with cabbage, you can only see cabbage and not much meat, but the second uncle and his family are all rushing to eat it.

The cabbage dipped in meat tastes like eating meat. It’s so delicious!

Qin Huairu's family also had a delicious dinner tonight, fried eggplant and cabbage.

Xiaodang and Huaihua picked up the eggplants and ate them, as if they were eating meat.

Qin Huairu felt much better when she saw her two daughters eating so deliciously.

Tonight's eggplant and cabbage were "borrowed" from a male colleague when I got off work, without spending a penny.

As long as she doesn't spend any money and pays for something else, she doesn't mind.

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang was quite dissatisfied with the way her two granddaughters ate.

"Two losers know how to eat like pigs!"

"My poor grandson, I don't know if he has had dinner yet!"

Xiaodang and Huaihua pretended not to hear their grandmother's words and stuffed eggplants into their mouths.

The two of them were already immune to Jia Zhang's dirty words.

I get used to being scolded like this every day!

Qin Huairu did not dare to speak for her two daughters, she lowered her head and silently speeded up her meal.

Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu and the others had almost finished the food, and she didn't care about cursing, and quickly used chopsticks to pick up the eggplants on the plate into the bowl.

……

The next morning, Mei's mother and sister got up later than usual.

Maybe it was because I dug an air-raid shelter yesterday that I slept very deeply at night.

Wake up later in the morning.

Mother Mei took her sister into the kitchen to steam buns and stir-fry vegetables.

This was specifically requested by Mei Wenhua last night.

"Mom, let's continue to stir-fry meat tomorrow morning. Eat more meat to have the strength to work!"

"We must strive to complete the department's tasks today. If we can complete the tasks today, everyone in our department will receive a bonus!"

If her son is so motivated, Mother Mei will definitely support him.

In the whole yard, they were the only ones who got up to eat fried meat early in the morning.

Mei Wenhua had a full meal in the morning. When he came to the investigation department, he went directly to the place where the air raid shelter was dug.

There are already many colleagues working here.

All the people from the next door department have arrived. Judging from their progress, they are almost catching up.

"Wow, Director Cao, you didn't spend the whole night digging air-raid shelters, did you? You're almost catching up with us!"

"In order to complete the task, our comrades worked very hard. I advised everyone to go back and rest, but no one was willing!" Director Cao said proudly.

In order to catch up with Mei Wenhua's progress, he led the people in his department to dig here all night.

Although the efficiency is not very high, it has finally caught up.

If we work harder today, it is still possible to complete the task before Mei Wenhua and his department.

At this time, Zhou Jianjun and the others also came over. They saw that the departments next door had caught up, and they were all very motivated.

"Comrades, work quickly, we don't let Director Cao and others succeed!"

"Comrades, can you tolerate Director Cao and the others taking away the bonus we want to get?"

"I can't stand it! I went in first!" Lao Lu was the first to be unconvinced and jumped into the pit with a hoe.

Not to be outdone, Mei Wenhua picked a good quality hoe and jumped into the pit.

Spit some saliva on the palm of your hand and start swinging the hoe vigorously.

The familiar sound of digging sounded again.

It's just that this sound didn't last long and stopped again.

There was also the scream of Lao Lu next to him!

"Ah! Mei Wenhua!..."
