Chapter 126 Luxurious breakfast
Suzuko made a bold decision to keep the child.
No matter how hard Aunt Hao persuaded her, Lingzi just kept not changing her original intention. She was ready to endure hardships and raised her child alone, and she felt that she had the ability.
"You silly girl, you will definitely regret it one day in the future!" Aunt Hao almost beat her chest and stamped her feet. Although she knew that Lingzi was just a stubborn bull, she could not pull back even the eight horses after she made the decision.
Suzuko didn't refute it. She herself knew that it was an adventurous decision, but what made her more determined was that the child's fetal movements were becoming more and more frequent. She felt that this was a signal, as if the child was punching and kicking her and told her: "Don't abandon me, don't give up on me, mom!"
When it was late at night, Lingzi leaned on the bed and gently stroked her belly, talking to the child silly: "Baby, I have the ability this time and I will definitely decide everything. I will never give up on you. From now on, I will do my best to keep what I love and never let go!"
Aunt Hao asked Lingzi to move into the house as soon as Chen Xin got married. Lingzi refused without thinking, "Sister Xinxin will have to go back to the door in a few days. Where do you let her live? Besides, I'm still far from life, so let's talk about it later." Lingzi said it lightly.
"It will be cold after a while. Do you want to take the confinement period in the garage?" Aunt Hao was anxious.
"Aunt Hao, don't worry about it. I've already decided that I'm going to rent a house in the community board, the kind with heating. If you have a little guy in the future, it's noisy and quarrels. It's not suitable to live with you."
"You have a big man, you have more ideas!" Aunt Hao had no choice but to take Lingzi, "I agreed that I will take care of you when you are in confinement." Aunt Hao felt sorry for Lingzi. How could he do without a family member?
Lingzi couldn't persuade her, so she had to agree.
Finally, the day for Chen Xin to get married was coming. The sun shone brightly on that day. Early in the morning, the sun showed a red smile on the east horizon. The autumn air was clear and the sky was blue without a trace of clouds. Lingzi didn't watch the fun at home, so she went to the morning market to set up a stall as usual.
Originally she wanted to stay at home to help, but yesterday several old ladies in the community were chatting at the door, talking about the local custom of marrying their daughters. Pregnant women must not appear around, otherwise it would be unfavorable to the bride. Aunt Hao glanced at Lingzi and quickly said, "What kind of feudal superstition is this? Our family won't talk about this."
But Lingzi secretly wrote it down. She couldn't make Chen Xin and Aunt Hao feel confused. If you believe in this kind of thing, you will not believe it. Since someone has said it, Lingzi must consider it for others to avoid affecting her festive mood.
Chen Xin was busy all the time, and Aunt Hao didn't tell her about Lingzi's pregnancy. She originally wanted to invite Lingzi as a bridesmaid, but Lingzi waved her hand and refused and made up a lie, saying that there was a custom in her hometown and that she was a muddy person and could not be a bridesmaid. Chen Xin believed it, but Aunt Hao looked at Lingzi deeply and sighed secretly. This child was so sensible.
The business was good that morning. At the end of the morning market, Suzuko made 300 yuan. She looked at the time. Chen Xin’s auspicious time was 9:19 in the morning. It’s only 7 o’clock now that he might not have been married yet. Suzuko couldn’t go back.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. Since I learned that I had a child, Lingzi felt that I was always hungry. I didn’t feel it at all at this time. Sometimes I only ate something on the road after I went to the wholesale market to buy the goods.
There was not much leftover clothes. Linzi packed up the shelves and stocks and prepared to eat something first. In the past, it was done by one person, but now it was not possible. The children in their stomachs need nutrition, so Linzi decided to have a luxury and drink soup.
The most famous soup restaurant in Phoenix City is called Chaoyang soup restaurant. It can’t be squeezed in at around 7 o’clock. People who come to drink soup are lined up in a long queue. There are usually two queues, one for making soup, and the other is next to the oil pan where the fried dough sticks are freshly fried.
The master in charge of serving the soup stood in front of a huge barrel pot, and the boiled soup was inside. The hot aroma of the pot was first opened and the pot was wafted out.
The pot is very high, and the master usually stands tall on the stove, looking majestic, holding a stainless steel long-handled scoop in hand, stirring it inside, and fully blending the wheat kernel and barley under the pot with the upper layer of fragrant beef bone soup, making the whole soup thick and rich, making people salivate.
Many people who come to drink the soup like to stir an egg first, pour a spoonful of hot soup, and immediately turn into a bowl of soup with egg flowers, add a few slices of cooked beef, sprinkle with minced coriander, and finally drip a few drops of sesame oil, it feels like it is useless.
The perfect match for the soup is fried dough sticks. The hot fried dough sticks that are just out of the pot are crispy and delicious. If you eat a bite of fried dough sticks and drink a bite of the soup, you will feel like you are the winner in life.
Some people also like to break the fried dough sticks and soak them in the soup. It is really fragrant. Especially in autumn and winter, a bowl of hot and fragrant soup makes the stomach warm, and the whole body is warm from head to toe.
Suzuko parked the tricycle at the entrance of Chaoyang Gai Pavilion. It was already eight o'clock now, and the people who were at work had already finished their meals and left. A few sporadic diners were sitting on the small table in front of the door drinking soup.
"Boss, a bowl of five-piece soup, you need eggs, and no coriander." said Reinzi. She had eaten it once with Chen Xin, but she still had some experience.
"Two fried dough sticks." When the boss was taking soup, Lingzi had already bought fried dough sticks, and held them in a small bamboo basket and found an empty table to put them down.
He carefully brought the soup to the table. The boss was so generous. A sea bowl was filled with it and almost overflowed.
There is also a free pickled pickle. Suzuko chose the special hot and sour pickle from the restaurant, which is made of cabbage hearts and mustard green shreds, which makes people feel attractive.
"Little guy, mom is so luxurious for you. You have to eat and drink well and be obedient." Lingzi talked to the child in her heart while eating, and a doting smile appeared on her face.
A breakfast cost six yuan, which was undoubtedly a luxury for Suzuko back then. You should know that she only drank 50 cents a bowl of soy milk, plus a one-dollar sesame cake, and a tea and egg that cost 50 cents a day. Six yuan is enough for the four-day breakfast.
The beef soup without beef only costs two yuan per bowl. The locals call it vermicelli. After adding three beef, five yuan per bowl is almost half a bowl of beef, so it makes sense that Linzi said that he was extravagant.
In fact, Suzuko herself knew that the reason why she was so impulsive today was to soothe her lost heart. Chen Xin married the officer's husband gloriously. Today is her good day, and Suzuko was envious from the bottom of her heart.
But when I think about it, I stopped going to school early, had no decent job, had to set up a street stall, and I was pregnant with my child without knowing it, and I didn’t even have the right to see off Sister Xinxin. Life is really miserable.
