Chapter 468: The Longing for Life
Xu Jingsi took the bag from his hand, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You feel proud, right?"
Xu Fei chuckled, "No."
Xu Jingsi opened the package and put clothes in the cupboard, and said, "Why are you hanging around here, instead of going to accompany your friend?"
Xu Fei chuckled and rubbed his hands, "Sister, can you give me twenty yuan?"
"What are you doing?" In fact, Xu Jingsi can probably guess what Xu Fei is going to do. Xu Fei's salary and bonus are all with her.
"Hey, I agreed with them that we will have dinner at our house tonight and I want to buy some wine."
"Okay, okay." Xu Jingsi waved her hand towards him and motioned for him to come over.
Xu Fei hurriedly walked over and said, "Sister, tell me."
Xu Jingsi said sternly, "Don't brag at the dinner table. Don't think that you are superior to others just because you are messing around outside. If anyone else wants to help you, do it if you can, but don't refuse. But you have to tell them that we are also making money."
It depends on your strength and you have to work hard to make money."
She couldn't let everyone think that as long as she went out to earn money, she had to let Xu Fei tell everyone that all gains must be paid for.
Xu Fei's playful smile subdued, "Sister, I have a sense of propriety."
Xu Jingsi nodded, walked to the place where the bag was placed, took out a bag, counted out ten big ones, took them out, and handed them to Xu Fei.
"I don't want so much."
Xu Jingsi glared at him, "Do you think I'll let you spend it all today? This is all you spent before we left home."
Xu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, he probably had to stay at home until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, how could these be enough...
Xu Jingsi asked, "Buy some good wine."
Of course she didn't object to Xu Fei taking people to Rongning. The construction site would start working next year and a large number of people would be employed. She thought about it. She had no foundation in Rongning and no one could use her. It would be different if she had her own people to use.
Xu Fei happily agreed and ran out in large strides, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Sister, you can cook us two dishes tonight."
"Don't even think about it!" Xu Jingsi raised her chin, "Just buy more peanuts and drink it."
Xu Fei didn't care and ran out happily. It felt good to go home.
Xu Jingsi lit the stove, washed her face with hot water, put on a warm cotton-padded jacket made by her mother with new cotton, and stepped on comfortable cotton-padded shoes. She felt much more relaxed.
She actually wanted to sleep for a while, but in the next room, Xu Fei and a group of his friends were playing cards so loudly that the roof almost fell down, and she couldn't sleep even if she wanted to.
There was also a clanking sound coming from the kitchen. It seemed that her mother was preparing the dishes for Xu Fei and the others to have dinner in the evening. She couldn't stay in the house any longer, so she went to the kitchen with her big cotton shoes.
The kitchen is also newly built, with white walls, red brick ceiling, and concrete floor. It is spacious and bright. Under the wall near the window, there is a row of cement tables with chopping boards, oil jars, salt jars and other items on them.
Bowls, spoons, chopsticks, etc., although they don't look good, they are convenient to use.
When she entered, her mother was wearing an apron and cutting lotus roots. Next to her were sliced potatoes, diced fat meat, soaked kelp, yuba, and a plate of raw peanuts.
She rolled up her sleeves and took the knife, "Mom, take out the mutton and let's stew it."
Xu Jingniang felt distressed, "Why don't we waste such good food for them? In the past, who came to our house for dinner, but now I see that your sisters have become more capable, and they are here again!"
Xu Jingsi smiled, "Isn't this a normal thing? Mom, go and get it, let's eat it too, and bring another piece of pork, and I'll stew braised pork." When Xu Jingsi said this, Xu Jingniang felt even more distressed, but she couldn't say anything.
Then again, since his father left, it has never been as lively as today. Thinking of this, Xu Jingniang felt uncomfortable. She was afraid that her daughter would also feel uncomfortable when she saw it, so she immediately lowered her head and went out.
If life at home is still the same as before, maybe she will feel better. The better the life, the worse she will feel!
In the evening, it was Xu Jingsi’s cooking, stir-fried mutton with garlic, stir-fried diced pork with potato slices, stir-fried pork with kelp, stir-fried bean curd with carrot slices, stir-fried lotus root slices, stir-fried radish strips, stir-fried eggs with green onions, peanuts with old vinegar, stir-fried cabbage with old chef, and more
The last dish was a generous portion of braised pork. Although there were not many dishes, it was large in quantity and full of color, flavor and flavor, which gave Xu Fei a lot of respect.
In fact, Xu Jingsi and her mother thought that eight dishes was a lot at first, but then three more people came, and they could only order two more dishes.
Grandma went to bed early. After Xu Jingniang served her food and drink, the old lady went to bed.
Xu Jingsi and her mother closed the kitchen door and leaned against the hot stove. Each of them filled up a bowl of hot and fragrant polenta, which was served alongside the dishes that had been served in advance. Under the warm light, it tasted delicious.
Start eating.
"Don't just eat pickles," Xu Jingniang pushed the mutton in front of her, "eat meat."
She was so happy today. She didn't expect that her daughter and son would come back today. She thought they were so busy over there that it would take two days before they could come back.
"It's not like you don't know my living conditions. Do I still care about meat?" Xu Jingsi took a bite of steamed buns and carrots and pickled vegetables, and then asked, "Mom, is there a big market tomorrow? Let's go to the market."
"It happens to be a gathering, do you want to rush now?"
"Let's go and have fun." Xu Jingsi yearned for it. She hadn't been to a big market in many years and really wanted to go.
When she was a child, she went to the New Year's Fair with her friends from the same village, but at that time she only had two cents in her pocket, which was only enough to eat a bunch of candied haws, and she could only watch others eating meat cakes and rice.
cake, red bean cake, sesame seed cake, spicy spicy soup...
"You can't drive there."
"If you don't want to drive, let's walk."
"Well, by the way, why did Xiaojun let you drive the car back?"
"I have to haul a lot of stuff, but it's because I'm new and it's hard to buy tickets."
.......
The two of them talked quietly while eating, and laughed happily for a while...
Xu Jingsi felt extremely comfortable. She had three simple meals a day and nothing happened. This was the most desirable life.
It was already ten o'clock when Xu Fei and his friends dispersed. When they left, all of them had blushes on their faces and were almost unsteady on their feet. They smelled of alcohol and there was no one who had not drunk too much.
As soon as they left, Xu Jingsi went to clean up. As soon as she entered, she almost left. The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and various dishes. It was so unpleasant that she quickly opened the door and windows to remove the smell.
.
Liquor bottles were lying on the floor. Xu Fei was no different from them. He just sent them all back, entered the room, walked towards Xu Jingsi who was clearing the dishes, stretched out his hands, hugged her, and lay on his back.
