Take the supermarket back to the times

Chapter 557 Preparing for the New Year
The balls were almost fried, so Zhao Hongmei asked Zhao Yingzi to help Li Li prepare lunch.

After Zhao Yingzi responded, he took a pot of freshly baked meatballs, and took seven or eight pieces of fried tofu to the East Courtyard.

Guo Lingling and Li Li were both kneading dough on the chopping board, Su Xiangan lit the fire, and a pot of big white steamed buns had already been steamed.

Zhao Yingzi came over with the meatballs and put them on the edge of the stove so that they would not be too cold when they were eaten later.

Su Xiangan didn't wash his hands, so he took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat this meatball like this for a while, the freshly fried meatball is the best."

"Well, I brought it here specially for lunch."

Li Li scolded with a smile: "The only thing on your mind is eating!"

Su Xiangan chuckled.

Zhao Yingzi turned around and started preparing the lunch.

"Second Auntie and Lingling, please rest for a while, let the noodles wake up for a while, kneading the noodles is also a hard work."

Li Li nodded: "That's right, I felt like my arms didn't belong to me when I kneaded my face earlier. It was because Xiang Yang and Xiang An took our place for a while later, otherwise I couldn't bear it."

Zhao Yingzi smiled, soaked some more fungus, and prepared to fry a fungus egg later.

Seeing her swift movements, Guo Lingling could tell that she had already made up her mind about what to cook.

"Sister-in-law, are you preparing cold tofu shreds?"

"Well, I happen to have green onions and coriander at home, and this cold shredded tofu is the best."

Guo Lingling knew that Zhao Yingzi was good at craftsmanship, so she just stood aside and watched her make it.

Zhao Yingzi also knew that there was still a lot of work to do in the afternoon, so he simply ate some at noon.

"The sausages are different in color, one is spicy and the other is not?"

"Yes. Cut some of each kind, and whoever eats it will eat whatever it is."

Cut a sausage, mix with shredded tofu, fry an egg with fungus, and finally stir-fry pork belly with cabbage, and the dishes for today's noon are considered complete.

By the way, there are meatballs just out of the pan, which must be regarded as a dish.

There is still a lot of work in the afternoon. Su Jianye and Su Jianjun divided into two teams. One team went to Su Guoan’s house to meet, and then took people to the lonely old people in the clan to help clean the yard, repair doors and windows, etc.; I went to the third grandmother's house to help with some work, and also visited her old man's house by the way.

Su Jianmin seldom came back, so he followed Su Jianye and went to help work and talk to several elderly people in the clan.

Old Su's family is united, so no one dares to bully them in the Red Star Brigade or even the whole commune.

Grandma Su has always thought about the kindness the people in the clan had treated her family back then, so after her family has the conditions, she is willing to repay those kind people.

In the afternoon, Su Xiaoruan and Guo Lingling went to the third grandma's house together, and brought her a bowl of fried meatballs and a few pieces of tofu.

For an old man, these are enough for her to eat for several days.

Su Xiangbing's daughter-in-law happened to be helping the old man change the bedding, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly invited them into the house.

Guo Lingling rarely came back, and many relatives of the Su family did not know her.

Su Xiaoruan thought that there was not much work at home, so she simply took Guo Lingling to the second grandmother's house, and let Guo Lingling recognize her relatives by the way.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Jianjun left after breakfast. Li Li prepared a lunch box for him and asked him to eat it hot at noon.

"Second Uncle, don't eat the food in the cafeteria tonight, my brother and I will deliver it to you."

Su Jianjun said with a smile: "Forget it, a girl is still at home, just let Xiang Yang and Xiang An deliver it. In fact, it's okay if you don't deliver it. The food in our cafeteria is also good."

"It's not as fragrant as the food at home."

Su Jianjun smiled and waved to them, and rode away on his bicycle.

Today, there was no work at all, and they were all idle in the house, sleeping and chatting, and the boys couldn't sit still for a long time. After eating, they ran to find people of the same age to play with.

The three children were all asleep on the kang in Grandma Su's room. Grandma Su was old and had always had the habit of taking a lunch break, so Zhao Hongmei and the others simply went to the main room to talk.

When Su Xiaoruan came out, she closed the door carefully.

Zhao Yingzi and Guo Lingling went to the kitchen together to steam the last pot of steamed buns.

As for the noodles to be eaten during the Chinese New Year, they were all prepared. Grandma Su and Zhao Hongmei made them with the noodle rolling machine brought out by Su Xiaoruan. It was fast and delicious.

"The dumpling fillings are all adjusted, let's start making dumplings after three o'clock, and let's rest now."

Su Xiaoyun was sitting a little far away from them, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and slowly nibbling.

Wang Xiaomei was also embarrassed to let her daughter-in-law idle, so she sent her to the kitchen to help light the fire.

Han Jiao was totally unhappy, but after Wang Xiaomei gave her a hard look, she had no choice but to turn around and go away.

Han Jiao actually didn't expect that their family could eat steamed buns with white noodles every day.

What kind of conditions do you have to dare to eat like this?

I have been here for a few days, and I eat meat every day, and it is either white rice or white flour steamed buns. This condition can catch up with the factory manager's house.

It was only when Han Jiao thought of this that she remembered that Su Jianye was a factory director.

The Su Jianye brothers went to the west hall and talked by the fireplace.

"Fourth, how is the profit of the factory?" Su Jianjun still really cares about this mushroom processing factory. After all, he also came from here, and [-]% of the relatives of the old Su family are here.

"It's not bad, it's on the right track now. The only bad thing is that the workers in our factory cannot change their registered permanent residence, and there will be no pension in the future."

"It's not urgent, take your time. The household registration is nothing. If you want me to say that the rural household registration is good, you can still have land to grow. At least you won't be hungry."

Su Jianye also felt that the second brother was right.

But now most people think that the people in the city are decent and look down on the people in the countryside.

Su Jianmin took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Fourth brother, you are a good factory manager! How much do the workers in the factory earn a month now?"

When Su Jianmin learned that he couldn't change his household registration and he didn't have a pension, he immediately regained his confidence.

"I can't tell. Temporary workers have the lowest wages at present. They are 18 yuan a month. Regular workers in the workshop are paid 30 yuan a month. Technicians are even higher. By the way, do you still remember Xiang Lei?"

Su Jianmin nodded, that was the kid from Su Guoan's family, he had an impression.

"Xiang Lei can earn more than 50 a month now. This kid is smart and quick to learn. He will be promising in the future."

Su Jianmin suddenly felt that the cigarette in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

A brat, his earnings are almost catching up with him!

"Overall, this year is not bad. You can tell from the faces of the big guys, right?"

Su Jianjun nodded: "Indeed, everyone's face is full of joy, and this face is flushed, which is much more beautiful than the waxy yellow face before."
