Chapter 61: It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality!
Inside the house, Chen Xiaoyue and the other three were minding their own business making dumplings.
He completely regarded Zhao Yuzhi as nothing, and didn't even look at him.
In the room filled with the smell of meat, the only voice was Chen Guohua's.
When Zhao Yuzhi heard Chen Guohua ask her to borrow money, she fell into a daze.
Ask her to borrow money?
Did you find the wrong person? "Guohua, your family eats meat every day, so I should be the one asking you to borrow money, right?"
After reacting, Zhao Yuzhi said quickly.
Chen Guohua said:
"Aunt Zhao, look at me and then at my three sisters?"
"Our four brothers and sisters are all as thin as skin and bones. Xiao Min and Xiao Mei together, maybe they are not as healthy as your family, right?"
"If we don't eat more meat and become malnourished, we will easily get sick."
"But Aunt Zhao, don't worry that I can't pay you back."
"I will take the college entrance examination soon. When I go to university, the accessories factory will definitely give me a new salary increase."
Xu Chunguang is Zhao Yuzhi's son. Her husband's surname is Xu, but he died early and could not enjoy it.
And Zhao Yuzhi does love her four children very much.
Even though she has four children in her family, two of her sons, Xu Chunguang and Xu Chunhui, were raised fat by her.
What Chen Guohua said just now was indeed correct.
Xiaomei and Xiaomin are both too thin. Together, they are probably not as heavy as Xu Chunguang.
When Zhao Yuzhi heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Good guy, can you still be so high-sounding?
Is it that easy to get into college?
If it were really that easy to get into college, wouldn’t college students be everywhere?
So, she originally wanted to borrow a sewing machine, but she couldn't.
"Guohua, you see, we also have four children in our family. Auntie's family is also in trouble."
At this moment, Zhao Yuzhi said with a troubled expression:
"In this case, you make dumplings first. My food hasn't been cooked yet, so I'll go back first."
"No need to keep me here, you guys are busy first, see you later!"
After saying that, Zhao Yuzhi quickly ran away.
I can't afford it!
After Zhao Yuzhi left, Chen Xiaoyue said strangely:
"Brother, we obviously still have money, why do we need to ask others to borrow money?"
Not only was she confused, but even Xiaomei and Xiaomin couldn't understand it.
But Chen Guohua laughed and told them the reason.
Maybe they can't understand it, but it's okay to know that there is such a thing.
Faced with someone like Zhao Yuzhi who likes to take advantage and doesn't want to return other people's things.
You have to use the method Chen Guohua just did.
This is to use the way of the other, and return it to the other.
Well, although Chen Guohua is not Murong Fu, he is still quite comfortable in using this trick.
The four brothers and sisters didn't talk much about Zhao Yuzhi, because their attention quickly shifted to the dumplings.
As the dumplings were wrapped one by one, Xiaomei started to boil water when they were halfway through.
By the time the water boils, the dumplings are completely wrapped.
There are a lot of dumplings left, that's because when Chen Guohua made the dumplings, there was a lot of stuffing.
Unlike Chen Xiaoyue and the others, they were all dumpling skins with not much filling.
Along with the dumplings tumbling in the hot water.
Chen Xiaoyue's three little ones have swallowed saliva countless 's because these dumplings are really fragrant and tempting.
"Okay, bring me the bowl."
After a while, the dumplings were completely cooked. After Chen Guohua opened his mouth, the four bowls were placed.
The three sisters were all waiting for their eldest brother to share the dumplings.
There is nothing fair or unfair. Anyway, there are only so many dumplings, and all four brothers and sisters can eat enough.
I can even eat enough this time.
After all, with two kilograms of pork, plus cabbage and dumpling skins, the dumpling soup will not be wasted no matter how bad it is.
So how can you not feel full if you add all these together? On the square table, the four brothers and sisters sat and feasted, and they ate all the dumplings in a short while.
Chen Xiaoyue looked at the dumpling soup in the pot and couldn't help it. She wanted to drink it.
Because I don’t want to waste it.
However, Chen Guohua persuaded: "When you're full, don't eat anymore. Don't be so full that you vomit it all out."
"No way!" Chen Xiaomin said hummingly, hugging the big bowl.
Even the third child expressed his point of view charmingly: Can't waste it, it's not full yet!
Being able to have enough to eat is a very happy thing, so they want to stay this happy forever.
After a pot of dumpling soup was finished by the three little ones, they were already sitting on the kang, half lying down.
At the same time, he hugged his belly and made a satisfied burping sound.
This meal today is really comfortable.
All the neighbors in No. 98 Courtyard were extremely annoyed.
Today is a small year, and only the four brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua are so prodigal.
For other families, being able to eat eggs is considered a good thing.
Don’t think that if each person is provided with six taels of pork and five taels of beef and mutton every month, some people will really be able to eat it.
For example, beef and mutton are so expensive that Aunt Fang and her family are reluctant to part with them.
Usually they are saved up and only bought to eat during major festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
How can it be as luxurious as Chen Guohua's family? Xiaonian passed away quietly amidst the voices of everyone cursing.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, breakfast was no longer dumplings.
There was no meat, just dried radish, cabbage and steamed buns.
The two little guys, Xiaomei and Xiaomin, looked at the food on the square table and suddenly lost their energy.
Then they were scolded by their second sister: Without meat, you can't live, right? The two of them also wanted to retort: Even if there is no meat, it is okay to eat noodles or rice. What does it mean to eat a steamed bun? Yesterday I had dumplings, braised yellow mutton and beef, and today I had steamed buns. The difference was so big that it was hard to accept!
It really corresponds to the saying: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality! "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, you'll get cold."
Chen Guohua chuckled and didn't bother to scold his two sisters.
Hearing this, the two little ones reluctantly began to nibble on the cornbread.
"Brother, don't you have to go to work today?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you last night. I asked for leave this morning and will go to the factory in the afternoon."
"Why are you asking for leave?"
"I have to go back to school to get my report card."
The results of the final exam have not been released until now.
It’s just that New Year’s Eve is now less than a week away.
When the three little ones heard this, they all wanted to go to the school with them.
To be honest, it has been more than two years since their eldest brother went to the city to study, and they have not yet visited the school.
Now that I have the chance, of course I want to visit.
"No problem, just come with me later."
Chen Guohua smiled happily, but when the four brothers and sisters were about to leave for No. 65 Middle School, the three siblings Hu Derong, Wang Aidi, Jiang Yuanchao and other little kids all followed.
