Chapter 131 Wu Family
When Gu Jiandong entered the kitchen and saw the plump white buns lying in the steamer, he grinned widely, washed his hands, and took the buns for Old Man Shen and the others one by one.
"Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, Second Aunt, and Shu Yu are eating buns."
The buns were ready, but Jiandong was not at home, so none of Old Man Shen and the others ate any of them. They were all waiting for the boy to come back and eat together.
Old man Shen took a bite of the bun, and the little old man squinted his eyes in satisfaction. In order to make the bun more delicious, Old lady Shen put mushrooms and dried vegetables in addition to bacon. You can't imagine how delicious it was when you took a bite.
"Old lady, your cooking skills are getting better and better. The buns you make are even better than those in state-owned restaurants."
Being praised by the old man, Old Mrs. Shen smiled with wrinkles on her face, "It's just so-so, it's okay to eat." Damn old man, he's lucky to still be able to talk.
Seeing Grandpa Shen and the others eating, Gu Jiandong took two buns and sat next to Shen Shuyu. He bit off half of the bun in one bite, his cheeks puffed up, his eyes sparkling, and he said incoherently, "Eat well..."
Shen Shuyu looked at him with a smile and wiped the oil off the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. "Eat slowly. There's still a lot in the pot. It's all yours."
Gu Jiandong smiled brightly at her and wiped Shen Shuyu's mouth as a courtesy. He didn't have a handkerchief, so he just wiped her mouth with his hand. The force was so strong that it hurt the corner of Shen Shuyu's mouth.
Shen Shuyu: This child is a little considerate, but not much.
Shen Chunling didn't know how long it had been since she last ate steamed buns. She almost forgot what they tasted like.
She wiped her tears while eating. She knew that her mother made the dumplings specially for her because she was at home. Otherwise, during festivals, they would not be willing to use white bread to make dumplings. It was too luxurious.
Gu Jiandong has always had a good appetite, and he ate five buns in a row.
Shen Chunling was stunned to see him eating so much. Wow, the buns her mother made were so big, and this child ate five in one bite.
"Jiandong, aren't you full after eating so much?" She felt full after eating just one.
Gu Jiandong touched his stomach and said, "I'm not full. I can still eat two more."
Shen Chunling was afraid that he would eat too much and feel uncomfortable in his stomach, so when she heard that he could still eat more, Shen Chunling didn't say anything more.
Shen Shuyu knew how big his appetite was, so she made him a bowl of malted milk.
Liu Pandi came back from work with a tired face. He walked into the yard and saw Gu Jiandong eating a steamed bun and malted milk. The malted milk smelled very good. The closer he got, the stronger the smell became. Liu Pandi's mouth kept drooling and he stared at the steamed bun and malted milk in his hands without blinking.
"Hey, Dad, Mom, Second Sister, Shu Yu is eating."
Old Mrs. Shen responded indifferently, "Yeah."
Liu Pan was craving for the buns, but she knew her parents-in-law would not give them to her. She looked at the buns in Shen Chunling's hand pitifully, hoping that her second aunt would be sensible enough to give her a bun.
Shen Chunling couldn't stand the way her sister-in-law looked at her. If she was the head of the family, the food was hers, and it would be nothing to give a bun to her third sister-in-law.
But she is not the head of the family. She is a married girl who comes back to her parents' home to eat and live for free. If she still can't see through the situation and act like a good person and give her parents' food to her third brother's wife, how can she still have the face to live in her parents' home?
If my parents wanted to give the buns to my third brother's wife, they would have said so long ago.
Shen Chunling pretended not to see Liu Pan's look and turned around silently, leaving her back to Liu Pan.
Liu Pan looked: “…”
Liu Pandi swallowed, looked away with difficulty, and went back to the kitchen to get the steamed buns he had not finished eating at noon.
Living under the same roof, the parents-in-law eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, but they are reluctant to share a bite of food with their son and daughter-in-law. They are really cold-hearted.
Shen Jiabao and Yang Fangfang were newlyweds. The couple did not go to work today and stayed in the house all day.
Seeing Yang Fangfang coming out of the house, Old Mrs. Shen kindly invited her granddaughter-in-law to sit down and eat buns together.
Yang Fangfang knew that the family had been divided, and she felt embarrassed to eat the food from her grandparents’ house, so she waved her hand and said, “Grandma, I don’t want to eat anymore, Jiabao has prepared the meal.”
The granddaughter-in-law was embarrassed to eat, so Old Lady Shen stuffed two buns into her hands and said, "You haven't tasted buns made by milk yet. Try them, they are delicious."
Yang Fangfang couldn't refuse, so she had to take the buns back to her kitchen and wait for her parents-in-law and brother-in-law to come back so that the whole family could share them.
Liu Pandi witnessed all this in the kitchen of the third room. She was so angry that she was throwing things around. She almost opened her mouth to ask her parents-in-law for food, but the two old people pretended to be deaf and dumb and were reluctant to share a single bite of their buns with her.
Yang Fangfang was a new bride, and the old lady not only didn't set any rules for her, but she also took the initiative to stuff buns into her mouth. Wasn't this just to annoy her?
The old couple was disgusted with her for not being able to give birth to a son. If she had a son, the old man and the old lady would never dare to treat her like this. They were both daughters-in-law, but because Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia both gave birth to sons, the old lady smiled at them.
He only looks so gloomy towards himself and is reluctant to even give her a smile.
Bah, what a biased old woman! Just wait and see, when they are old and can't walk anymore, she will definitely not take care of them.
Shen Chunling stayed at her mother's house for more than a week. She ate well and slept well every day, and didn't have to work much.
With the help of Shen Shuyu's spiritual spring water, Shen Chunling was not so weak anymore and her face became a little more rosy.
Shen Chunling was so happy living in her parents' home that she didn't want to go back to her husband's home.
She didn't want to go back to her husband's house. The Wu family was looking forward to her return every day. Without her, the Wu family was in a mess. There was no one to cook or wash clothes.
Since she was not at home, Old Lady Wu had to order her second daughter-in-law Zhu Hong and third daughter-in-law Zhang Yuehua around.
Zhu Hong and Zhang Yuehua have been married to Old Wu for more than ten years, but they have never done much work. They only know how to open their mouths to please their mother-in-law, and do nothing else.
The mother-in-law suddenly called them to work, but they did not do their work well. They poured out most of the oil in the half pot when cooking, and fell into the river with their clothes when washing clothes.
Look, in the morning, when Zhu Hong made breakfast, even the corn porridge was half-cooked. Old Mrs. Wu was eating the half-cooked corn porridge, and she was furious.
"If you can't even cook a meal, I don't know what the point of my son marrying you is."
Zhu Hong was still angry and threw the bowl, "Mom, my sister-in-law has always cooked at home. I have never cooked before. What's the point of scolding me? You might as well ask my brother to call my sister-in-law back.
It's outrageous that she has returned to her parents' home for so long after getting married."
Old Mrs. Wu pointed at her second daughter-in-law, wanting to scold her but not wanting to, because she was the one she loved the most.
She also felt that what her second daughter-in-law said made sense. Shen Chunling was from the Wu family, and it was too unreasonable for her to stay in her parents' home for so long.
Besides, the autumn harvest is almost here. If she doesn't come back, who will do the work at home and in the fields?
"Dawei, after work today, go to Shenjiaba Brigade to pick up your wife.
What does it mean to go back to her parents' home for a banquet and stay there for seven or eight days? Does she still have her husband's family in her eyes?"
Wu Dawei was also very dissatisfied with the fact that Shen Chunling stayed at her parents' home for so many days. "Mom, I have things to do tonight. I will go pick her up tomorrow morning."
What could the eldest son do tonight? He just wants to stay in Widow Yang's belly. Old Mrs. Wu said with some hint of meaning, "You better be careful." Don't let anyone find out.
