Chapter 6 Twenty Yuan Life(2/2)
However, after making the request, he found that his wife was smiling at him.
At this time, Chen Lan looked at her husband as if an adult was watching a child reaching out for candy.
His wife's suppressed smile made Li Ming realize that his words seemed a bit worthless, especially the sentence 'I almost don't know what pork tastes like'!
A great man should not be so helpless.
So he immediately went back to make up for it and said: "Actually...it doesn't matter whether I eat or not. The main thing is that my daughter and son are growing."
When Li Ming said this, he stared longingly at his lovely wife.
This twenty yuan is an unexpected windfall for this small family.
With Li Ming's salary at the electronics factory, he not only has to support his family of four, but also occasionally takes some money to honor his parents, and even sends some money or things to his wife's family.
To put it a bit exaggerated, every penny must be accurate, otherwise there will be a situation where there is not enough money at the end of the month.
Even if you talk to neighbors or colleagues, you can borrow a few yuan to make the transition, and you can pay it back when your salary is paid next month.
But Li Ming and Chen Lan, a young couple, don’t want to borrow money to live.
After all, what is borrowed on the surface is money, but behind the scenes, it is a debt of gratitude.
Now, with these twenty yuan, the situation at home can instantly improve. It is like a person who is about to suffocate and suddenly breathes in fresh air.
In addition, their family did not suffer any damage in the fire, and the Chinese New Year will be held in more than 30 days. It is time to buy some meat to improve their lives, and the two children are indeed growing up.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it soon!
In fact, my son has asked me for meat several times, but I never told you.
The day before yesterday, Sister Zhang and her family were stewing meat with our stupid, useless son.
He really just stood by Sister Zhang’s house and wouldn’t come back no matter how hard he called.
But don't talk about that meaty smell! It's all over the corridor, and I'm drooling a little bit when I smell it.
Not just our good-for-nothing brat, there are many children upstairs and downstairs watching eagerly.
Fortunately, Sister Zhang is an easy-going person. A pot of meat weighs more than two kilograms, so she only served one bowl to their children and shared the rest among them.
It’s just that there were too many people, dozens of children upstairs and downstairs... everyone only ate one or two pieces!
I want to buy two more kilograms later and give some to Sister Zhang." When my daughter-in-law Chen Lan said this, she talked about interesting things from the previous two days.
Listening to my daughter-in-law saying that she smelled meat, I couldn't help but drool, especially when my daughter-in-law tried hard to recall what happened that day.
Li Ming looked at her with some emotion, sighed and his eyes were red, and then hugged Chen Lan in his arms.
People say that marrying a man to a man is just for food and clothing!
Now, such a good daughter-in-law is with him. She has been a good wife and mother who has worked hard and never complained for so many years. But even eating meat has become a luxury, and she can even only covet other people's stewed meat.
Feeling her husband's sudden emotion, Chen Lan put her arms around her husband's back, but gently patted and comforted him with her hands.
"Oh! Looking at your sentimental look, I would have thought you had treated me badly!
Isn’t this the case in every household now?
Even Sister Zhang’s family only eats meat once or twice a month!
Okay, don't be sad. I'm very satisfied to be able to marry you.
Besides, now that we have these 20 yuan, our lives will be prosperous right away!" As an old married woman with two children, my wife Chen Lan is very familiar with her husband's sentimentality.
This man is good at everything, but he is always afraid that he cannot take care of himself, and always feels that what he does is not good enough.
But the problem is that this is the case for every employee in the factory, and Chen Lan herself has no complaints.
In other people's families, if the daughter-in-law goes out to use the public toilet in the middle of the night, the husband will even sleep like a dead pig and be too lazy to care.
This guy is great, he is still the same as when he first got married, no matter how late or sleepy he is, he always goes with her.
Sometimes when she goes to the bathroom and meets her neighbors on the same floor, she always feels like a child who has not grown up and needs an adult to accompany her in everything.
Listening to his wife's consolation, Li Ming felt that it must be the good deeds of his ancestors that allowed him to marry such a good wife.
"I almost forgot to tell you that I have to get up early tomorrow morning.
Zhao An told me privately just now that the number of calendars to be sold tomorrow far exceeds today's quantity.
Today our group sold 100 sets, and each person got 20 yuan.
Zhao An said that if there were no surprises at the printing factory, each group might sell 500 sets of calendars tomorrow.
That means I might be able to get you 100 yuan." Li Ming was still feeling guilty at first, but thinking about the few chats with Zhao An just now, especially after knowing the arrangements for tomorrow, he instantly became energetic.
"Ah!" To be honest, Chen Lan had reservations about her husband's words. That was 100 yuan, three months' salary of an ordinary worker.
However, if you think about it carefully, at least her husband has never cheated on her.
As for whether Zhao An was lying...
"When I get back from buying meat, I'll make you some meatloaf tonight! I'll get up early tomorrow morning and heat it up for you, even if it's too late to take two meatloaf with you to eat on the road!
Noon...If it’s noon, you can go to a restaurant!
I will bring you two taels of food stamps later and put 50 cents in your clothes." Chen Lan was too lazy to think about whether the matter was true or false. Her husband had not eaten since he left home in the morning!
Thinking of this, Chen Lan felt a little distressed.
My husband, if I don’t feel sorry for myself, who can I expect to feel sorry for him?
He is the backbone of the family. Even if he is hungry, he cannot be allowed to starve.
Just when the couple was hugging each other like when they first fell in love, someone happened to pass by the door.
"Ouch! We are already an old married couple, but they still love each other so much?
If you're a bit promising, don't hang around your wife every day. Don't delay Anzi's call for everyone to go to the auditorium for a meeting!" Someone reminded him casually when passing by the door of Li Ming's house.
"Go quickly! Business is important.
I'm going to buy meat now, and I'll cook it for you when I get back!" Actually, there is still some leftover food at home, so I just warmed it up.
It's just that since her husband mentioned that he wanted to eat meat, Chen Lan felt that it was a failure for the daughter-in-law to let the mainstay eat some leftovers! In the past, there was nothing she could do if she didn't have money, but now she has money in her pocket.
"Let's go together! It won't take long..." Li Ming did not hesitate, but picked up the scarf on the table, put it on Chen Lan, then locked the door with the key and took her to the factory auditorium.

When he arrived at the auditorium, Li Ming found that there were not only workers from the third workshop, but also many workers and family members from the first and second workshops.
