Chapter 8 (1/2)
Is it the sun coming out in the west, or is it a red rain?
”There are only two people in my family. They are not made by Liang Liang. Who else can they be?”
Zhou Lanping doesn't like others to belittle her daughter at all. No matter how good other people's children are, they are all other people's. no matter what's wrong with their own family, they are all her babies. Besides, the beauty of her family is not really nothing. This is no, how delicious braised ribs are.
She swaggered and had a bright face. Carrying a bowl, she went to Grandma Wang.
Wang Dongdong, the grandson of mother-in-law Wang's family, saw the ribs. They all started to salivate and grabbed them directly with one hand. Mother-in-law Wang wanted to stop them, but they didn't come. Almost all of Wang Dongdong ate the ribs. He ate in his mouth and looked at the ribs in the bowl for fear that others would take another piece.
”Alas...”
What else can Grandma Wang say? It's all eaten into her stomach. It's impossible to spit it out, isn't it?
”Why are you being polite to me, Aunt Wang? You didn't give me less. I didn't eat your meal. These dozens of bowls of ribs are not enough.”
Zhou Lanping knew what Mrs. Wang wanted to say, and hurriedly interrupted her first. Otherwise, if she pushed around for a while, the cauliflower would be cold.
”Look at your politeness. They are all from the neighborhood. If you don't help you, who else can you help?”
Although Granny Wang said so, her eyes would laugh at the smell of her little grandson's food. The child has been picky about food recently. It's not easy to eat what she doesn't eat. She can't take food from her grandson's mouth.
”Aunt Wang, I'll go back first. As for this bowl...”
Zhou Lanping is still thinking about her own bowl. There are not so many bowls in her family. One is missing. It seems that there is nothing for dinner.
”I'll send you the bowl later.”
Granny Wang looked at the broth, which was also fragrant. After a while, she dipped the steamed buns in it, and then washed it and gave it back to others.
The smiling mother-in-law Wang sent Zhou Lanping out and stuffed a big apple in Zhou Lanping's hand. These days, apples are rare things. Mother-in-law Wang can have big apples at home, or because mother-in-law Wang's son works in the provincial capital, he can often get back some rare things.
Zhou Lanping really didn't want this big apple. She was really ashamed of asking others for such expensive things, but when she thought of Liu Liang, she had the cheek to take the apple back.
She hid the apples in her sleeves and almost ran to her house like a thief. When she closed the door, she patted her chest.
”Liang Liang, what did your mother bring you back?”
Like a treasure offering, she took out the big apple in her sleeve and put it in front of Liu Liang. ”You put it in your schoolbag and take it to school tomorrow.”
And she looked at her daughter, afraid that her daughter would refuse.
Liu Liang reached out and took the apple, but she was a little thoughtful.
Fruit is very expensive in this era, especially here. They don't produce apples, so the apples at this time are really not affordable for families like them.
It is possible that such an apple can buy a kilo of ribs.
An apple and a kilo of ribs.
After the age when a hundred yuan could buy two kilograms of meat, the current meat price made her jealous.
If she can, she wants ribs, not apples.
She took the apple in front of her and smelled it. The apple skin was wrinkled. It may have been put for a long time and was not fresh, but the taste should not be bad. It was sweet apple.
