Chapter 115 She said she would listen to her parents

Lu Zhenping rode a bicycle with Lu Mingkai towards home. The little guy's face was wrinkled like a bitter melon along the way. When they were about to reach home, he hurriedly pulled the man riding the bicycle in front of him.

"Dad, do you want to tell Mom?"

"Speak up, there's nothing you can't say. If we don't say it now, we'll be in trouble if your mother finds out later."

Hearing his father say this, Lu Mingkai's face became even uglier.

In the early winter weather, it gets dark very quickly in the afternoon. Shen Meng yawned, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The meat had been stewed into a very mushy state. She put out the fire in the stove.

There were steaming buns made from two-grain flour on the coal stove, and sweet potato tea cooking under the steamer.

This was all she cooked for dinner. She didn't have the time to make the sauce for the braised dishes, so she got all of it from the space. She fished out a few lamb intestines and pig large intestines from the pot, cut them into sections, and added a little pig face. After cutting and seasoning, she put them in three bowls. Although the quantity was not much, it was definitely enough to give as gifts.

When Lu Zhenping pulled the drooling Lu Mingkai into the yard, he suddenly remembered that Shen Meng had asked him to bring back some cypress branches when they went to the county town in the morning. He was busy dealing with the Shen family's affairs and completely forgot about the cypress branches.

"What are you standing there for? It's just right that you're back. Please help me deliver the vegetables in this basket. Give one bowl to Jinghao, one bowl to Changhong's family, and one bowl to Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying. This is the offal I just braised. Mingyang and the others will be home by the time you come back, so it's just right for dinner."

"Row!"

Lu Zhenping breathed a sigh of relief as he walked away carrying the basket. It seemed that Shen Meng had also forgotten about the cypress branches.

"I brought some cypress branches with me when I came back, and I saved the bacon. I can see from your expression that you forgot. It's only been a few days, but my words are no longer effective. I say something in the morning and forget it in the afternoon. What can I expect from you in the future?"

Lu Zhenping: “.”

I really didn't mean it, your words must work!!!
After Lu Zhenping left, Lu Mingkai walked up to Shen Meng and swallowed.

"Mom, what delicious food do we have?"

Shen Meng hugged the child in her arms and kissed his little face.

"My mother's braised offal, is it delicious? Do you want to eat it?"

"It smells good. I want to eat it!"

"Sit down, baby. I'll get you a piece of meat. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Yeah yeah!"

The little guy slid down from his mother's arms crookedly, walked quickly to the stool next to the low table in the kitchen and sat down, with his hands on his knees, waiting obediently to be fed.

Shen Meng was so amused by him.

Take a piece of pork cheek with both fat and lean meat out of the pot and put it in a small bowl, then pour a little marinade on it.

"Xiao Kai, try this braised meat. If you think it's too salty, tell me and I'll give you a steamed bun."

"it is good."

Mingkai picked up the meat clumsily and took a bite. As expected, his mouth was filled with fragrance. The little guy's eyes narrowed with satisfaction. After a while, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and the three children, Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang, ran in. As soon as they entered the kitchen, they saw Mingkai stuffing meat into his mouth, and their hearts immediately began to sour.

"Mom, I want to eat it too. I want to eat the same meat that my brother eats." "I want to eat it too. I want to eat meat too."

"What did mom cook? It smells so good, I can smell it from far away. When I just came back, I saw two people squatting at the intersection eating. I'm afraid they wanted to smell our meat to make their meal easier!"

The children have all returned home. Shen Meng directly opened the pot, found a sand basin, and scooped out all the braised dishes inside. They were all worthless things and it would be a pity to throw them away, so mother found some spices to make braised dishes. Mother will give you some to try first, and then mix them with the sauce, and then we will have dinner.

"it is good!"

The three children were waiting in front of the stove, each holding a bowl. Shen Meng had no choice but to find a pair of chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat for each of the family members. She also added some marinade. She was afraid that the children might not be able to eat something too salty, so she didn't add much salt.

The lamb intestines and pig large and small intestines were mixed into a non-spicy dish, the pig ears and pig heads were mixed into a spicier dish, and there was also a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage in the coal stove to relieve the greasiness.

She picked up the steamed buns from the steamer and began to prepare for dinner.

When Lu Zhenping came back carrying a bunch of cypress branches, Shen Mengniang and the others had already started preparing for dinner. He made a "tsk" sound, put down the cypress branches in his hand, and went into the house carrying the basket.

"Try it now. You've been busy running back and forth to my parents' house for me today. I've got you a bottle of wine. It's just right for you to drink to relax in the evening."

When Lu Mingkai heard her say this, his big eyes immediately looked at his father. The latter was very calm and handed the basket to Shen Meng.

"There are eleven eggs and a handful of Golden Monkey candies in here. Changhong's mother gave five, and Uncle Guai and the others gave six. The candies were given by Jinghao. I was too lazy to refuse, so I just took them."

"It's okay, just visit often. By the way, you went to my mother's house. How is the house being built? And what about Xiaobin's wife? How is it going?"

Lu Zhenping glanced at her, drank a glass of white wine, took a bite of food, and then spoke.

"The house is basically finished. The weather was good the past two days, and it's almost finished drying. Mom, Dad, and my older brothers have already moved into the house. Only Xiaobin's room has not been built yet."

???

"Huh? What do you mean? How can you build a house halfway? Xiaobin's house is the biggest in the family. He's already engaged, why don't you build the house? They might get married next year!"

Lu Zhenping took a steamed bun and took a big bite.

He didn't say anything. Lu Mingkai, who had been eating hard, muttered quietly,
"It can't be done. Dad has ruined my uncle's marriage."

Shen Meng looked at Lu Zhenping with question marks in her eyes.

"You can't marry this girl. Xiaokai and I happened to go there today. Xiaobin and the girl are getting engaged. The girl's parents want Xiaobin to split up the family and build a separate house. When they get married, the money they earn will be their own. They can't pay back the money for building the house. In addition to these, they need a betrothal gift of 166 yuan, a bicycle, a Shanghai watch, and all the furniture must be prepared in advance. That's not all. Each of the twenty or so relatives who are going to the Shen family today must give 50 cents for travel expenses. When they get married, they must also give each of the girl's nephews and nieces a pair of Jiefang shoes."

Shen Meng: “.”

"You think this is the end? There is more. We need to ask Xiaobin's sister and brother-in-law, that is, the two of us, to find a job for the girl's brother. We also need to let the girl's brother follow me to join the army. Only after these are done can we get married."

Shen Meng: ".Didn't they say that girl is a nice person?"

"Well, she's a very well-behaved girl. I asked her what she thought, and she said that she couldn't make up her mind as a girl, so she listened to her parents."

Shen Meng: “.”
