Chapter 111 New Year’s Eve Dinner
Tian Shengnan thought about it and nodded in approval. "Since I went to the countryside, Zhu Jiawen has never returned home. Even at the end of the year when he was not busy and could take a leave, he never went back. It seems that this is the purpose of marrying a wife. Maybe this wife takes care of her parents-in-law and hands over her salary every month. She is just supporting Zhu Jiawen's parents for nothing."
Shen Jiaojiao said angrily, "This is too calculating, isn't it? This is so wicked."
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, you must be careful when you are looking for a partner in the future. You can't just agree to a date just because someone is courting you. You must find out more about the other person's family members and see if they are married or have a partner or fiancée."
"If it's a divorce, you also need to look at the reason for the divorce. Is it because the man cheated on his wife and found another woman, or beat his wife, or is it because the wicked mother-in-law tortured the daughter-in-law and forced her to divorce and leave? If the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are not good, no matter how good the man is, you can't marry him, because they are easily influenced and will always stand on the side of their family, and will never stand on the side of the daughter-in-law."
"Marriage is a lifelong matter, so you can't be careless about it."
"If any young man in the production team comes up to you, you must tell me. If we can't handle it, we will report it to Captain Qian or Aunt Meihua, and they will definitely make the decision for us."
Although Lu Xiaoyun married Liang Zhaodi, Qian Liang married Nie Xiulan, and the crisis of Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue was resolved, there were dozens of households and hundreds of people in Fengshou Brigade, and there were more than just a few men. There were also old men, widowers, and second-rate guys, so they still had to be careful.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded as if they were being taught. Jiang Yue even patted her chest and said, "Xiaoxi, don't worry. I'm still young and don't plan to find a partner so early."
Although she was not favored at home, she had seen with her own eyes the life her mother lived, and she would never live the same life as her mother.
If she gets married and has a daughter in the future, she will definitely treat her daughter well and make up for all that she lacks. She will never treat her daughter the way her mother treated her.
Tian Shengnan also nodded thoughtfully. She doesn't have a partner now, but she will definitely find one in the future. If she listens and watches more now, she will be able to accumulate more experience by then.
In this day and age, it is impossible not to get married and have children, because the saliva of people around you can drown you. When you get older, your family will be very anxious. Since you cannot change the fate of getting married, you naturally have to choose a marriage partner who is good in all aspects.
At noon, Wenxi heated up the buns and made cabbage and minced meat soup. Everyone drank the cabbage and minced meat soup while eating the buns stuffed with pork and cabbage.
After a simple lunch, the six people started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. The two men were responsible for making the fire, and the four women were responsible for cooking. Tian Shengnan and Shen Jiaojiao used the stove, and Wen Xi and Jiang Yue used the tripod iron stove.
Chicken stewed with chestnuts, braised pork and potatoes, braised fish, crucian carp stewed with tofu, braised pork offal, braised eel slices, stir-fried yellow cabbage, shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried wild vegetables, scrambled eggs with leeks, cold coriander salad, and mushroom soup.
There are twelve dishes in total, including meat, vegetarian and soup.
The staple food is steamed buns and steamed bread in the morning, which can be eaten directly after heating up, without the trouble of cooking.
It took several hours to cook the New Year's Eve dinner in two pots.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, especially Tian Shengnan. She had been in the countryside for several years and had never experienced such a life. It was great to be able to make friends with Wenxi and the others. In the future, she would help Wenxi more and do her best to protect Wenxi.
Fortunately, she has always kept herself out of trouble and has not been involved in the same evil practices as others, otherwise she would not be able to live such a life!
"Everyone, please sit down and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Wen Xi said as he sat down first, and then everyone sat down.
"We have this table of sumptuous dishes thanks to several female comrades. Without you, there would be no such table of dishes, and I would not have known that the New Year's Eve dinner could be so sumptuous." Song Lan said.
"Aren't you male comrades helping out here? You've also contributed and made some contributions." Wen Xi said modestly.
They were all children and there was no elder around, so there was no need to worry about table manners. Everyone started eating with their chopsticks. Some of the dishes were made by Tian Shengnan, and it was obvious that her cooking skills were not as good as Wen Xi's, but everyone was smart enough not to say much and just kept saying that the dishes were delicious.
No one who works hard to cook wants to hear others criticize his or her cooking skills. If you think the food is not tasty, you can just not eat it. But if you eat it, you have to acknowledge the fruits of others’ labor.
There was a table full of delicious meat and dishes, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
While people in Wenxi were enjoying delicious food and fish, the situation at the educated youth site was not so good.
Although Nie Xiulan brought a pot of radish and pork ribs soup from home, it could not change the shabbyness of the New Year's Eve dinner. A group of people sat around the table, but there were only six bowls of dishes on the table, one of which was brought by Nie Xiulan.
The staple food is cornmeal porridge. Although this is the central plains area and rice is the main food, in order to fill the stomach, people also eat various coarse grains, so it is normal to have cornmeal porridge.
Looking at the stir-fried Chinese cabbage, stir-fried yellow heart cabbage, stir-fried wild vegetables..., Nie Xiulan's chest began to rise and fall uncontrollably. Didn't they just distribute meat at the end of the year? Where was everyone's meat? Did they hide it? She was so kind to bring over the carrot and pork ribs soup, but this was how they treated her?
"Didn't we just distribute the meat at the end of the year? Why aren't you cooking the meat? I thought today is New Year's Eve and everyone would definitely prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner." Nie Xiulan had a smile on her face and you couldn't tell that she was angry, but in fact she was going crazy inside. After all, she brought a few ribs!
"Everyone ate up the meat on the day it was distributed," Chu Wan'er said. Moreover, everyone cooked their own food and ate it separately that day, and the meat was not mixed together.
Because some people have big appetites, eat a lot, and eat fast, it is easy for others to take advantage of them, so everyone consciously took turns to cook meat that day.
Chu Wan'er didn't care at all whether the New Year's Eve dinner was shabby or not, because Qian Qiu Sheng would send her meat at that time.
Seeing Chu Wan'er eating the tasteless meal in a bad mood, Nie Xiulan was almost going crazy. "Then I was right to bring the carrot and pork ribs soup today. It's just right to nourish everyone."
