Chapter 12 Mother-in-law looking at son-in-law(1/2)
I still look like I remember, with long black hair and a little wrinkles on the corners of my eyes.
Seeing Lu Ze coming out, his mother Xu Fangping said, "You're hungry, mom will cook immediately. You can start eating when your dad comes back."
Before Lu Ze could speak, he walked towards the kitchen with a bag of vegetables.
Although Xu Fangping, who is in a prosperous state of affairs, is not very educated and often unreasonable, she is really meticulous in Lu Ze's daily life.
Especially the good dishes that were cooked, Lu Ze and his best friends occasionally came to their house to taste them, and they were all envious.
Seeing that my mother was going to cook in a hurry, Lu Ze smiled helplessly and returned to the room to continue writing the money plan.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of opening and closing the door sounded outside again.
When Lu Ze came out, he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and a little beer belly standing in the living room. It was his son Lu Jianjun.
So he shouted first: "Dad, you are back."
"Yes." Lu Jianjun was in a bad mood, so he agreed and walked towards his room.
It seems that I am worried about layoffs.
This month, it is time for the food company to officially issue a layoff notice.
Most employees will divest their labor relations with their units and find a way out.
The torrent of the times cannot be reversed by personal will.
Lu Ze sighed, it seemed that he had to open a bun shop as soon as possible.
Only by solving the livelihood problems at home can this family look like a home.
He turned his head back to the room and quickly improved the business plan of the bun shop.
After another ten minutes, Xu Fangping shouted outside: "Jianjun, Ozawa, come out for dinner."
As soon as Lu Ze came out and sat down, Comrade Lu walked to the table listlessly.
Xu Fangping came out of the kitchen with three bowls of white rice, handed a bowl to the father and son, and said, "I'm back late today, just these two dishes and one soup, eat it quickly."
Lu Ze looked at the table, a fried water spinach, a fried water spinach stem with green pepper fermented black beans, and a tomato and egg soup.
Jiangyou Province is located in a hilly area, lacks large plains, cannot cultivate on a large scale, and the agriculture is not well developed.
But there are mountains and waters, and the products are abundant.
Zhongling County, where Lu Ze is located, is known as Sanfen Mountain, Sanfen Water and Sanfen Field.
The varieties of water spinach here are different from those in the outside world. They not only grow vigorously, but also are particularly beautiful.
Usually, the stems and leaves are separated and eaten with two dishes.
Fry it in lard, it is fragrant and refreshing.
When Lu Ze was working hard outside in his previous life, he often talked about this mouthful of water spinach from his hometown.
I didn’t expect that on the first day of my rebirth, I could taste the taste of nostalgia.
He picked up a large chopstick of oily water spinach leaves and sent them into his mouth, leaving fragrance on his lips and teeth.
It has both the freshness of water spinach and the special aroma of lard.
That feeling of satisfaction is amazing.
Jiangyou Province is also good at eating spicy food, but unlike Sichuan and Hunan, it only loves the spicy spirit of green peppers.
In addition to green leafy vegetables, it can be said that they are all green peppers, but they are also the particularly spicy green peppers.
This dish of fried water spinach with green pepper and some fermented black beans is also a dish that is not inferior to Lao Ganma.
The fireworks of the world are the most touching of the hearts of ordinary people.
Simple home-cooked dishes can make people feel the value of ordinary life.
As he ate, Lu Ze suddenly felt something was wrong.
I was just thinking about the unique water spinach in my hometown, and I didn’t realize that after eating it for a long time, there was no meaty smell in my mouth.
Lu Ze, who was so fond of meat, was about to ask his mother, but hurriedly blocked her mouth with rice.
The atmosphere at the dining table is very solemn, so don't make things worse at this time.
According to his memory, he hadn't eaten a few big meals this year.
My mother usually buys two taels of lean meat, which is chopped into pieces and wants to stir-fry ten dishes.
According to the mother-in-law, it’s enough to have a bit of meaty taste.
The family has a poor livelihood. Lu Ze's favorite slices of fried pork with green peppers have been downgraded to fried pork with green peppers in the past two years.
Lu Ze picked up a chopstick and stir-fried water spinach with green pepper and stuffed it into his mouth. At least this dish has a stronger taste and is better served as a meal because of the addition of fermented black beans.
He told himself silently: "You have to hurry up to get money, at least the freedom to eat meat cannot be delayed."
Halfway through the meal, Xu Fangping broke the deadlock: "Jianjun, what's going on? Have you found out?"
"It's not good. We're really going to be laid off together this time." Lu Jianjun replied in frustration.
Xu Fangping asked again: "Didn't you talk to that guy Lao Wan? Let him help you all out?"
"I looked for it, and I went to find him when I came back from the Commercial Bureau in the afternoon.
But he didn't know what kind of wind he was, so he didn't let me in the office and asked me to get out.
It's a bastard. If I hadn't written a few reports for him back then, I would have been appreciated by the county leaders, and would have been his turn to be the general manager?" Lu Jianjun said very angrily.
As a famous pen in the county, Lao Lu even wrote the manuscripts of the county magistrate.
But now that people are middle-aged, they have to face layoffs, and life is sometimes so ironic.
A capable person wasted his whole life, but he had a good career in his career, perhaps this is the reality of the world.
When Lu Ze heard this, he was even more afraid to say anything.
How dare I say that it was because I offended Lao Wan to death in the afternoon, and Wan Tianlai was so bad to Comrade Lao Lu.
As Comrade Lao Lu was upset, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more tense.
Although my mother Xu Fangping usually shows off her power, it is because Lao Lu usually gives in to her.
When Lao Lu was really angry, he knew who was the real head of the family.
Comrade Fangping is also very good at observing his expressions and does not dare to ask more questions at this time.
The three of them had their own thoughts and continued to eat this boring meal.
At this moment, a few knocks on the door suddenly rang out.
Xu Fangping was approaching and walked over to open the door.
"Fangping, it's time to have a meal. I'll bring you Yiyi to thank you." Su Jinyi's mother Lin Tanghua, carrying a bag of fruit, began to thank before entering the door.
Su Jinyi followed Lin Tanghua, a little restrained.
Xu Fangping said in confusion: "Sister Lin, what are you doing? Thank you for what we do?"
Lin Tanghua is actually one or two years older than Lu Jianjun and his wife, so Xu Fangping usually calls each other a sister.
If Lin Tanghua can give birth to a little beauty like Su Jinyi, she is naturally much better than Xu Fangping.
Moreover, she has properly maintained her clothes and dressed carefully. No one has any objection to the public that she is a few years younger than Xu Fangping.
"Ah? Lu Ze didn't tell you? This child is really calm." Lin Tanghua sighed.
Xu Fangping: "He is just a dull man and doesn't usually make a fuss. Sister Lin, come in and talk about it one by one."
As he said that, he invited the two of them into the room and sat on the sofa.
Lu Ze hurriedly finished his last bite of rice, chewed it a few times, walked up to him quickly and shouted, "Aunt Lin."
"Oh, okay. Lu Ze, it's really thanks to you today, otherwise it would be gone." Lin Tanghua thanked Lu Ze again.
Lu Jianjun was curious at this moment and asked hurriedly: "Sister Lin, what happened? From what you mean, was Lu Ze saving Yiyi?"
"Yes, I was tricked by Wan Tao, that bad guy, to go to the water park to row a boat in an afternoon.
On the boat, I wanted to do something bad to her, but I failed and was slapped one by one.
In anger, the bastard actually pushed Yiyi off the ship.
Yiyi can't swim, and that bad boy will never save him.
Thanks to Lu Ze happening to be nearby, he rescued Yiyi.
Lu Ze, aunty, thank you!
If Yiyi really has three longs and two shorts, I will not live anymore." Lin Tanghua was very scared after knowing that he had passed, so he was sincerely grateful to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze scratched his head and said modestly: "Auntie, this is all I should do."
Lu Jianjun said angrily: "Wan Tianlai, that old bastard, has raised a son, is also a little beast, and he dares to do such a thing.
You can't let this bad guy go so easily and send him to the police station."
As he said that, he got up and rolled up his sleeves, he was about to rush to Lao Wan's house to follow the way for heaven.
