Chapter 1791: Things Are Different Now 4
As Lu Erxiong ran out of the house, the Lu family courtyard suddenly became lively.
Father Lu and Cheng Baoguo and his wife were old and felt young, so they got up early to exercise. Xiao Miao even went out for a few laps and came back to practice boxing in the yard. He did not slack off because he left the army.
"Old comrade, how about breakfast? I'll go cook." Xiao Miao asked the head of the family.
Although Father Lu did not often go to the military compound where his son and daughter-in-law were, he was used to the existence of the orderly and said hurriedly: "Yesterday, everyone helped to steam five large pots of more than 100 two-piece flour rolls and baked a large pot of sweet potato flour pancakes. In the morning, just make some porridge and steam some rolls. There are ready-made pickles at home. Cut them and fry them with lard. Xibao, Xibao, come and help your uncle."
Xibao responded and led Ye Yan and his two younger brothers out.
Wang Cuilan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me do it. You men can speak your own words."
Cook porridge, steam rolls, and stir-fry pickles. In addition, according to Xi Bao's instructions, she took out two large bowls of pickled garlic from the jar.
The garlic planted in the private plot was picked before it was fully mature, and the old skin was peeled off and soaked in sweet and sour. It has been more than half a year now. It is pickled very well and the smell is enough to make people drool.
Coarse food, simple and fast.
Miao Fengqin came over, holding an enamel bowl of cooked salted duck eggs. Seeing the food on the table, she looked at Father Lu in surprise, "The children finally came back, and you give them these to eat? Fortunately, they only came when they were young and didn't stay at home for a long time."
Before Father Lu could speak, Xibao stepped forward with a smile and took over, "This is called suffering makes one a superior person."
Miao Fengqin glared at him, "I don't believe this sentence. Who likes to suffer? In the past, suffering was due to low living standards. There was no other way. Filling the stomach was a blessing. Now life is getting better and better. Your brothers and sisters have lived with your parents since they were young. They were raised on rice and flour. They are very cute. If you ask them to eat this, they will be scared and never want to go back to their hometown again."
Although they had been to Wanglou Brigade once when they were young, Fubao and the triplets had no impression of them, nor did they remember her. They looked at her curiously with their watery eyes. Only Lu Erxiong nodded vigorously to show his agreement. He liked to eat big meat and didn't like pickles.
Cheng Baoguo smiled and said, "No one can afford to eat rice and flour every day. In the military compound, several children often eat porridge and pickles."
Miao Fengqin knew that Cheng Baoguo had retired from the top position of Huaihai City. Although she was respectful, the expression on her face showed that she did not believe this statement at all.
"Baoguo is not kidding you." Wang Cuilan warmly invited them to sit down and eat together.
Miao Fengqin shook her head and said, "No, no, our family has prepared the meal, but we are afraid that the children will not eat well when they first arrive, so we specially sent some salted duck eggs from our own home to supplement your meal. They are cooked."
Xibao said to his younger brothers and sisters, "This is my aunt, and that is my great aunt."
"Aunt, great aunt." Several children stood up and called politely, but the voices were not very uniform.
Looking at the clean and handsome children in front of her, all of them are outstanding, Miao Fengqin smiled from ear to ear, "Hurry up and sit down to eat. I will ask your eldest brother to take you to Auntie's house later. Auntie has left a lot of delicious food for you."
"Thank you Auntie, after dinner, we will go to see Uncle Grandpa with my brother." Fubao said crisply.
Miao Fengqin was overjoyed and liked it very much. Children in the city are different from those in the country. They are polite and generous. Looking at their words and deeds, they are just like the miniature Feng Qingxue, bright and charming. "It's cold, the food is getting cold quickly, you eat first, I'm going home, Auntie will wait for you at home."
