Back To Masalalu

Liu Mengli's heart suddenly softened

Jiang Zhou cleaned the pot, boiled the water, washed the rice he bought, and put it in the pot.

Although the rice was only one kilo, but it should be enough for today.

He was still going to the city tomorrow, so he would buy even more materials.

Liu Mengli, who was standing in the courtyard looking at Jiang Zhou and his two children, was even made dumbfounded for a moment.

He walked in a few steps, his eyes slightly widened, he looked at Jiang Zhou, and said in disbelief, "This is... rice?"

Jiang Zhou nodded, "Yes, I bought it at the supply and marketing collation today."

Liu Mengli saw the surface of the water billowing hot.

Watch the white rice go into the pot.

In his heart, it suddenly felt like it was being pinched gently by something.

Sick and ridiculous.

Ever since he went to the countryside to become a learned youth, Liu Mengli could not remember how many years he had not eaten this kind of rice.

As a learned young man in Liqi Village, hard work did not dampen his determination to return to the city.

Yet.

When he received word that he could return to the city that night, he was very happy and drank wine at the farewell party held by the village secretary.

Afterwards, he spent the night with Jiang Zhou.

month later.

She pregnant.

The little baby in her belly always reminds herself that she is going to be a mother.

So, Liu Mengli remained in the village.

He thought, to follow Jiang Zhou, if he was diligent and worked harder, one day would lead a better life.

However, expectations are not in accordance with reality.

Jiangzhou's lazy nature was already ingrained and could not be changed.

let alone processed grains, even daily foods such as potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and vegetables are difficult to enjoy.

Both of her children were born with malnutrition.

Compared to his friends in the village, they were thinner and smaller.

This had always been a thorn in Liu Mengli's heart.

Nowow.

Jiang Zhou suddenly said to himself that he was making money.

Buying pancakes for children, buying rice, even buying meat to be processed at home.

Liu Mengli looked at Jiang Zhou, his clothes drenched, and the way he was lighting the fire in earnest.

Suddenly his nose felt watery.

“Enter sweet potatoes.”

Liu Mengli took a deep breath and walked over.

Looking at the white rice in the pot, he said to Jiang Zhou dejectedly: "It's too wasteful, if you eat just a little it can last a few days.

Jiang Zhou laughed at that.

“Nothing extravagant for something that goes into the stomach, ?"

Jiang Zhou stood up and looked at him seriously: "Don't worry, from today onwards, our house won't lack anything anymore from now on! ! I won't starve you and your son!"

Liu Mengli was silent.

Jiang Zhou's eyes were too straightforward.

He involuntarily narrowed his eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze.

“Prove it first just spoke,”

Liu Mengli replied without looking at Jiangzhou, then sat down, and helped Jiang Zhou light the fire.

In his hand, he continued to hold the pancakes in his hand tightly.

With a layer of oily paper, the puff of smoke continued to evaporate.

From Liqi Village to Qing'an County, it was a full 20 miles away.

If you walk there, it will take at least an hour.

Jiangzheng...

did he go there on foot?

in all probability.

When he came back, he was sweating and his face was pale from exhaustion.

When she woke up in the morning, she warmed up the remaining little fish leftover yesterday for herself and her children.

He must have eaten nothing.

Pancake too.

He bought only three.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengli shook his head again.

No, it's not true.

According to Jiangzhou's temperament, he was confident he would return after eating as much as early, so how could Jiangzhou willingly treat himself as unworthy as that.

However, if he was full, how could he look so tired?

Chaotic thoughts swirled in Liu Mengli's head.

Liu Mengli stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, She couldn't help but look up, she looked at Jiang Zhou, and asked, “Have you eaten?”

Jiang Zhou was currently cutting vegetables.

He's cutting fresh peppers.

He took it himself from his yard.

Nowadays, every household loves to grow chili peppers.

Chili peppers were a good thing in the countryside in the 1980s.

Chili can remove moisture and stimulate appetite, even dried yam can be eaten more.

So Liu Mengli also planted a little.

Pick, dry, and can be eaten all year round.

Both children have been able to eat spicy food since they were children.

Hearing Liu Mengli's words, Jiang Zhou had just stuffed the dried peppers into the pot, and the overflowing spicy flavor instantly made his eyes glaze over.

"Ehem, I'm not hungry!"

He replied: "I can eat with you and the children.I'm not hungry "

It would be a lie to say that he is not hungry.

Actually was.

Having been reborn in this age, Jiang Zhou only knew what hunger meant.

For him who had reached his peak in the later generations, even his appetite was a luxury.

Now he was reborn and returned to his young body.

The body functions vigorously.

Can work and eat.

Who knew when he bought the pancakes he was so hungry, he felt like he could eat seven or eight pancakes alone!

But...

After thought.

It's lunchtime soon.

This can make it save.

Even the hand that was currently holding onto the shoe was a little weak.

Liu Mengli was not stupid.

Not hungry?

How could he not see that Jiangzhou was now imposing himself.

The pancake in his hand was a bit hot.

……………………

The first dish Jiang Zhou cooked was fried pork with chili.

In his previous life, Liu Mengli taught Jiang Zhou to grow up in the most cruel way.

After the death of his wife and children, he learned to cook, wash clothes, and learn all kinds of other skills.

Saute the garlic until fragrant, put the meat chopped without fat, then stir.

Add seasoning, wait until the meat is cooked, and add chili, then stir fry quickly.

Cooking with firewood makes cooking more enjoyable.

Especially with the addition of pork fat.

In an instant, a fragrant fragrance filled the courtyard.

There are no decent dishes at home.

Jiang Zhou had no choice but to take the already cracked bowl and put the chili fried meat into it.

In the vegetable basket in the yard of the house, there was still an Indian ester that Jiang Zhou deliberately left behind this morning.

It was reserved for his two children and his wife.

He left the most tender and fresh.

Jiang Zhou was preparing to fry the cleaned saruyaran indian ester.

Suddenly, a shadow quickly moved in front of him.

She's surprised.

Only then did he clearly see what shadow was in front of him.

Half pancake.

And it was Liu Mengli's callous hand that held the pancakes.

His hands are so slender.

The hand should have held the pen.

However, he did farm work all year long making his hand calluses.

That thick layer of calluses looked extremely thick.

Jiangzhou's heart was pierced.

“I can't eat everything,”

liu Mengli's face slightly reddened.

He feels crazy.

Jiangzhou is a real bastard.

Diia's been a good father for a day.

But when he saw Jiang Zhou was so tired that his hand holding the spatula trembled, his heart softening in an instant.

Just this time.

The pancakes Jiangzhou bought, he could not eat by himself, otherwise he would regret and feel guilty.

Liu Mengli warned himself.

Jiang Zhou smiled.

He rubbed his hands into his body casually, He also did not sell expensive and immediately took the pancake and put it in his mouth.

Ummm..

Pancake with grated horseradish filling.

It feels so tempting and delicious.

The most important thing was Liu Mengli who kept holding the pancakes since earlier, making the pancakes still warm as he ate them.

“Thank you,”

jiang Zhou said with a smile.

Liu Mengli lowered his head in panic, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and muttered softly: "Since when have you become so polite?"

He's really not used to it.

In the past, Jiang Zhou couldn't even hold a ketchup bottle upside down.

Now he not only goes to town to do business and support his family, but also makes a lot of money.

Most importantly, was Jiangzhou who used to say the word swear, currently thanking him?

Liu Mengli only felt this uncomfortable feeling envelop him.

………………………

At this moment.

On the next page.

Aunt Tang Chen Hongmei was sitting in her yard mowing grass for pork.

In early spring, a month ago, his family caught a little piglet.

The annual living expenses of this family from old to young basically depend on this piglet

Chen Hongmei was Jiangzhou's aunt.

Jiang Zhou's grandfather, Jiang Dagui, gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Her eldest daughter married in the village next door and rarely returned.

Three sons left.

The eldest son, Jiang Fuquan, was Chen Hongmei's husband, he was the head of the production team in the village and had power. And the condition of the family is much better than the other brothers.

What made the two of them most uneasy was their son, Jiang Mingfan, Jiang Zhou's cousin, this year was twenty-four years old, three years older than Jiang Zhou.

But not married.

According to the custom in the village, if you are 24 years old, and not married will definitely be angered by the elders in the family.

But Jiang Mingfan was different.

After college entrance exams resumed in 1977, Jiang Mingfan studied hard.

Finally last year, at the age of twenty-three, he passed the college entrance exam.

In 1981, he was the only student at Liqicun to be admitted to the university.

This incident caused an uproar in his area. Jiang Fuquan borrowed fifty kilograms of food stamps, held a banquet and killed the only pig in his family.

Jiang Zhou's grandfather, Jiang Dagui, saw that among his grandchildren there was finally something to be proud of, then he immediately issued an order.

Jiang Mingfan's school fees were split equally among his three sons.

Even his married daughter had to send Rp. 40,000 to him.

Logically Jiang Dagui should have stayed with his youngest son, yes it was Jiangzhou's father.

However, for this reason, he chose to live with his wife in the home of his first son Jiang Fu.

Although Jiang Fuquan was not too happy.

However, Chen Hongmei reminded him.

Now among the younger generation in the family, only his son Jiang Mingfan stood out.

Doesn't college have to spend a lot of money?

As long as Jiang Dagui stayed here, who among the three sons and sisters-in-law who were married far away would definitely send him money.

How much can two elderly people eat?

The important thing is that we don't starve to death.

Moreover, his body is still strong to work in the fields, washing, cooking, and planting aayuran, it will not be a problem.

No matter how he counted, he was lucky.

Jiang Dagui has the golden grandson Jiang Mingfan.

That's what made him choose love.

His two brothers did not dare to object to this, let alone the brother-in-law who married far away there.

Chen Hongmei lived a pleasant life.

The house in the courtyard was built by Jiang Dagui along with his three brothers.

That's the biggest room.

Even his potato storehouse was the biggest.

Although and Jiang Zhou lived in the adjacent courtyard, he was still considered a senior.

It's just..

For many years, Chen hongmei had not helped in the least!

He even liked to complain about Jiangzhou in front of Jiang Dagui.

Of course, it was exaggerated to make Jiangzhou even more worthless in Jiang Dagui's eyes.

This way, wouldn't Jiang Dagui prefer his son?

Chen Hongmei's little life could not be called a deficiency.
