Chapter 50 Going to the county seat

The third son finished pouring the water, and the Shen family officially started dinner.

Dinner was cooked by Father Shen, which consisted of white rice, scrambled eggs with leeks and braised rabbit with chili.

At first, Father Shen didn't dare to cook like he does now. It was only after Zhang Chunnuan got angry and gave the death order that he started to do it.

But this happens when Zhang Chunnuan eats at home. If Zhang Chunnuan doesn't eat at home, then how can he save money?

For example, the morning meal was sweet potato and multigrain porridge, and the lunch was multigrain rice. Just thinking that Zhang Chunnuan wouldn't be full, he steamed rice and asked the mistress to deliver it.

Zhang Chunnuan naturally knows about this, but it’s just that old people are like this and are used to saving.

Wasn't her dean's mother like this before time travel? She went out all day to pick up unwanted express cartons and drink bottles, and she became a big anchor with tens of millions of fans. Now that she's rich, dean's mother is still like this.

Because she has experience in getting along with the elderly, Zhang Chunnuan understands one thing very well: young people should not try to change the consumption concepts and values ​​of the elderly.

Because once you do this, the old man will in turn change your outlook on marriage and life.

Everyone is fine and in their own comfort zones.

Anyway, it won’t delay her eating white rice!

After dinner, Zhang Chunnuan said hello to Mr. Shen and his mistress, took the cradle and went back to the house to sleep.

After a dreamless night, Zhang Chunnuan got up early the next day and made egg-filled pancakes for breakfast. After eating, he wrapped a few in oil paper and took them to the gathering.

When he arrived at the place where he separated from Yang Xuehua after work last night, he saw her waiting for him.

Zhang Chunnuan trotted over, and when Yang Xuehua was about to speak, he opened the paper bag, pinched an egg-filled cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

The movements are crisp and neat, done in one go.

Yang Xuehua was about to say hello to Zhang Chunnuan when suddenly something mixed with the flavor of egg and noodles appeared in her mouth, and she subconsciously took a bite.

After taking a bite, she realized what had happened, and her face turned red to her neck.

"No, I can't eat it!"

Seeing her refusal, Zhang Chunnuan pretended to be angry and said: "Sister Xue'er, you've already taken a bite and you still want to pay me back?!"

"..." Yang Xuehua didn't dare to speak. To be honest, she was a little afraid that Zhang Chunnuan would be angry.

She is obviously 6 years older than Zhang Chunnuan, but she acts like a little sister in front of her.

Seeing that this trick worked, Zhang Chunnuan continued to say viciously: "I don't care anyway, you have to finish eating! Otherwise I...I...I...why are you laughing?!"

"No, I'm not smiling." Yang Xuehua covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with a cake. While eating, she was thinking about what delicious food she had at home and would bring it to Zhang Chunnuan tomorrow morning.

After a few days like this, Zhang Chunnuan felt that the time was ripe. If he kept waiting, he would have to dig ditches farther away. Since he didn't have enough time, he planned to go to the county seat the next day.

After work, she went to the team leader to ask for leave, explaining that she would go back to her parents' home the next day.

Of course it was an excuse. It would be impossible for Zhang Chunnuan to go to the Zhang family in Luosigou Village in this life.

Although digging ditches was the task of the commune, it did not say that one could not take leave. Zhang Chunnuan took the leave smoothly.

Returning home as usual, after dinner, Zhang Chunnuan suddenly said to Father Shen: "Dad, I asked for leave from the team leader when I got off work today and will go back to my parents' home tomorrow."

Father Shen glanced at her, understood in his heart, nodded, and said: "It's time to go there. There is no hatred between mother and daughter. You should go back and talk to your mother-in-law."

Zhang Chunnuan was stunned. Didn't she make it clear when she was in confinement? She only has one family now, and that is the Shen family. Why doesn't Father Shen understand what she means?

Just when she was about to speak out, Father Shen turned to his mistress who was clearing the dining table and said, "My mistress, no matter who asks, your aunt has returned to her parents' home, do you understand?"

Although the mistress is a bit dull, she is not stupid. After arriving at the Shen family, she naturally discovered some weird things about the Shen family.

For example, the locked cabinets in my aunt's room are filled with various things, such as the endless supply of beautiful fabrics at home, such as...

Too many.

"I know. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will be at home to help you take care of your brother and sister tomorrow."

Zhang Chunnuan walked over and touched his head and said, "My dear, do you remember the maid who ate with me in the cafeteria? She has a son who is two years younger than you. You can go and play with him."

"Remember." The third son nodded and asked a little embarrassedly: "Then can I bring that younger brother home to play? I want to help grandpa look after my younger brother and younger sister."

"Then you have to ask the maid if she agrees. Okay, hurry up and go to bed. The little baby won't grow taller if he sleeps too late."

Zhang Chunnuan walked to Father Shen, picked up the cradle and returned to the room.

The next day she slept until dawn, finished breakfast, and waited for everyone else to go to work before walking towards the county seat with a backpack on her back.

Although Xiahe Village is close to the county seat, we have to pass through an unknown village on the way.

Zhang Chunnuan distanced herself from afar, without meeting the people in that village. She walked around in a circle and walked for almost two hours to the county seat - Baiguan County.

It is said that this place got its name because hundreds of officials have been produced here since ancient times.

The mountain stream flowing down from Tieniu Mountain flows along Shanghe Village, passes through Xiahe Village, an unknown village, and flows into Baiguan County.

When Zhang Chunnuan arrived at the county seat, she looked at the time and it was 9:50 am.

She first looked for a place to eat, and after walking throughout the entire county, she only saw one state-owned restaurant. She stood outside the door and took a look, receiving a blank look from the idly and flustered waiter.

Looking at the menu written on the blackboard in the store, there are four big characters at the top - available today.

Below is the menu and prices. The staple food includes rice, steamed buns, dumplings, and steamed buns. They are not expensive but require money and tickets.

There are only three meat dishes. The all-meat braised pork is 8 cents per serving and costs 1 jin of meat coupons. The half-vegetarian dish is stir-fried pork with chili and costs 40 cents per portion and costs 30 cents on half a kilo of meat coupons. The remaining meat dish is scrambled eggs and costs 30 cents.

One copy, no votes required.

The vegetarian dishes did not include the name of the dish, only the ingredients available in the store: cabbage, tofu, radish, etc. It seemed that people were allowed to order by themselves, and each portion cost 2 cents.

Zhang Chunnuan stood outside and watched for a while, then picked up a table and put down his backpack and sat down.

When the waiter saw her coming in, he rolled his eyes and came over with a small notebook, and asked angrily: "What do you want to eat?"

In this era, whether you are a teller in a supply and marketing cooperative or a salesperson in a state-owned hotel, you all have the same attitude: The customer is not God, I am!

Therefore, Zhang Chunnuan didn't say anything to the waiter's rude attitude. She just didn't put on her signature smile and said, "Please give me two taels of rice, one portion of braised pork, and one cabbage stewed with tofu."

The waiter casually wrote down, "One piece of rice, one piece of braised pork, and one piece of cabbage stewed with tofu, a total of one yuan and ten cents, two taels of food stamps, and one catty of meat stamps. Pay first before eating."

Zhang Chunnuan counted out the money and tickets from his pocket and handed them to the waiter in exchange for three small wooden signs. After the chef prepared the dishes, he took the small wooden signs to the dining window to receive the food.

She looked at the food on the table, a little surprised.
