Chapter 164: The Battle of Soft Rice
After finishing the meal and putting away the dishes, Zhou Yang pointed to a few snakeskin bags he had hidden under the leaves of the trees and said, "Mom, Dad, I brought you something this time!"
Only then did Zhou Yawen and Ye Lifang see that there were some things that did not belong to them placed under the pockets filled with leaves.
"Come just come, don't bring anything else!" Ye Lifang complained.
She knew that her son had nothing when he joined the queue, and since he had never experienced hardship since he was a child, he probably would not be able to adapt to rural life like them. The burden of supporting the family should still be on her daughter-in-law.
My son didn't shy away from this when he wrote a letter last time. He said it directly.
So Ye Lifang really doesn’t want her son to use the money earned by her daughter-in-law to subsidize them!
"Mom, this is our first time to see you, how can we come empty-handed!" Li Youwei said with a smile.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"I'm very happy that you can come. We don't care if you are empty-handed or not!" Ye Lifang said.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Zhou Yang pulled out several snakeskin bags and untied them one by one.
Zhou Yawen and his wife were completely shocked when they saw that their son and daughter-in-law had brought them so many things.
They could clearly see that in addition to a few new clothes, there were also a lot of food and supplements, and even ribs and half a pig's head.
Although they don't know much about the prices outside, so many things cost more than a hundred yuan at least, which is still a conservative estimate.
"Did you buy these things or did Xiaowei buy them?" Zhou Yawen asked in a deep voice.
He already had strong opinions on the fact that his son needed his daughter-in-law to support him, so he would never allow the whole family to rely on his daughter-in-law to support him.
Zhou Yang understood his father's character and what he meant, so he immediately said: "Dad, I bought the things and earned the money!"
"real?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said to Li Youwei: "Daughter-in-law, dad is worried that I am eating soft food at home. Please explain it to my parents!"
Li Youwei's face turned red, and then she said: "Father, mother, he earns all the money in the family. He doesn't eat soft rice..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Yang say: "It can't be said that I didn't eat soft rice. In the past few years, I really needed Weiwei to support me, which is equivalent to eating soft food for more than four years!"
"No!" Li Youwei said decisively.
She couldn't let her man wear the hat of a softie, and even if that was the case, she wouldn't allow others to tell him.
It was precisely because of this that she was willing to give up the opportunity to be a teacher in a school in the town and used that precious spot to change Zhou Yang to a scorekeeper position.
Seeing this girl defending him like this, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Yes, it is, no, it is no, there is nothing hard to admit in front of your parents!"
"And I can eat my wife's food without any shame!"
Li Youwei glared at him and said: "You earn more from your work at home, not to mention that you are still the vice-captain of the team. You earn more in a month than others earn in several years. Who dares to say that you are eating too much?"
Soft rice!”
Zhou Yawen and Ye Lifang started to understand something at this time. It should be that their son had been on a soft diet for a few years, but now he seems to be able to stand up for himself.
And they also heard that the daughter-in-law really defended her son and refused to let him say that she was a softie.
To be honest, this heartfelt protection alone made them accept this daughter-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, after learning that her son married a rural girl, Ye Lifang still had some opinions.
Even though they are in trouble now, they still have a sectarian mentality deep down.
In their opinion, even if the old Zhou family was ruined, it was still a scholarly family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy, and the youngest son was a well-known prodigy in the capital, a worthy young talent in ancient times.
I think back then, those who wanted to marry the Zhou family were all real ladies from famous families.
She never thought that her son would end up marrying a rural girl, which made her feel that her son was really wasted.
But after meeting her daughter-in-law, her idea gradually changed.
First of all, my daughter-in-law is good-looking. Although she is not particularly stunning, she is delicate and attractive.
Secondly, this girl is kind-hearted. This can be seen from the fact that she shed tears when she saw the hard life of the old couple. They can still tell the difference between true love and falsehood.
The most important thing is that this girl really loves her son to the core, and her whole heart and eyes are filled with her son. This is what makes Ye Lifang most satisfied.
Seeing that she couldn't defeat Zhou Yang, Li Youwei immediately turned to her father-in-law and said, "Dad, I can guarantee that he bought all these things, and he did not eat soft rice. Your son is the most capable person in the world!"
Zhou Yawen nodded and said, "Father believes in you!"
Then Zhou Yawen thought for a while and said: "Old Ye, keep those supplements and pastries, leave a little rice for food, and send the rest to the kitchen!"
Ye Lifang looked at the hundreds of kilograms of rice noodles with some reluctance, and hesitated!
"Xiao Yang, why don't you take it with you when you go back?"
She could understand that her son wanted to honor them by bringing these things, but the situation here was too complicated. Even after bringing these rice, flour, grains and oils, he couldn't eat them alone, so it was better to let his son and daughter-in-law take them back.
Zhou Yawen nodded and said: "Alright!"
However, Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "There is no reason to take it back again!"
Li Youwei asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you have to send it to the main room? Can't you stay and eat it yourself?"
Zhou Yawen said immediately: "You have also seen the situation here. It is really not suitable for human survival. The reason why we people can survive in such a harsh environment is mainly because everyone helps and supports each other! Otherwise, if we rely solely on individuals,
I’m afraid it’s long since turned into a pile of loess and white bones!”
"Your mother and I are very happy and gratified that you can think of honoring us, but if we enjoy these grains alone, what will other people think?"
"When you are suffering, you eat with us, but when you are blessed, you close the door to enjoy it. This is cutting yourself off from others!"
Zhou Yang knew that his father's consideration was very necessary. He could either take the food back with him, or if he wanted to keep it, it would be best to send it to the main kitchen.
After all, my parents still have to live here. Once they are isolated, life will be difficult in the future.
"Mom, listen to my dad and send the food over. There is no need to cook other things. You can keep them to eat by yourself!" Zhou Yang said.
"Where are the bacon and pig heads?" Ye Lifang asked again.
Zhou Yawen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Send the pig head to Director Zhang, and give some extra food to the soldiers. If you want to save the pork ribs, let Lao Feng save them for future emergencies!"
Ye Lifang fell silent after hearing her man's decision.
She was really reluctant to part with it, this was meat!
In the past few years, apart from occasionally catching squirrels and marmots for tooth sacrifices, they have never tasted serious pork at all.
Now that her son had finally managed to get such a small amount, he still wanted to give it to others, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Old Zhou..."
After being married for so many years, how could Zhou Yawen not see what his wife was thinking.
He raised his hand and said: "Old Ye, I know what you want to say, but think about how we have survived all these years! Have we not encountered many disasters in these years? That time
It’s not like everyone is working together to help us get through this difficult time.”
"I still remember the serious illness you suffered from the year before last. You were so weak that you could hardly get off the ground. I was even afraid that you would leave me. In the end, Director Zhang asked some connections to go to the city to get medicine and drag you out of hell.
return."
"Although your illness is cured, you are still unable to go to the ground due to malnutrition. It was my wife Zhao who squeezed her own milk to replenish your body, making that little girl Xiaoli howl with hunger!"
"We can't forget these kindnesses, we must pay them back!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang and Li Youwei were shocked. No wonder their father kept emphasizing that they survived by supporting each other.
Indeed, in a place where things like human milk replenishing the body can happen, the power of an individual is really too small.
And Zhou Yang also realized that if he wanted to change his parents' living conditions, he couldn't just consider the old couple, he had to consider everyone here, which made him deep in thought!
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
