90s Little Struggle

Chapter 104

Originally, such important matters as filtering the oil were to go back to the kitchen to avoid being seen. After all, they said that the oil was changed every day.

But today, there were no people on the street, so they decided to do it outside to avoid the smell of oily smoke in the kitchen.

Xiao Fang has watched it twice, but still finds it amazing, so she stays ready to watch it again, and by the way, she can also stay and watch someone.

After seeing off the last guest, while the oil in the oil pan was still hot, Zhao Laosi poured the starch paste down.

After the water starch was added to the oil pan, there was a crackling sound, and all kinds of impurities after frying the chicken in the oil pan were quickly absorbed together.

Zhao Laosi carefully poured out the water starch and put it in an old washbasin. He could take it back to feed the chickens later, and then poured green onions, ginger, etc. into the oil pan, and used the residual heat to remove the smell.

They also started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks bowls beside them.

At this moment, someone strode over here.

Now most of the shops on both sides of the road are closed, so Xiao Fang subconsciously thought that the other party was here to buy fried chicken, and said without raising her head, "Happy Chinese New Year, there is no fried chicken, so come back when the doors open at [-] noon on the sixth day of next year?"

The old saying goes that when the twelfth lunar month is in, it is a new year, and when the first month is out, the new year is over.

Not only do you have to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, people with children of the right age at home, either take advantage of this time to see each other, or take advantage of this time to get married.

It can be said that the whole family earns money throughout the year, and there is nothing left after the new year.

In the past, Zhao's family had to pass the first month and a half before going to work in the fields.

But now they are doing business, and they understand that the period between the year and the year is the time when customers are most willing to pay.

The shops in the town are the earliest to open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and of course they don't want to delay for another day.

Therefore, when Xiao Fang was collecting money for change today, he deliberately told everyone when the door will open next year.

Xiao Jianhua smelled the aroma of the oil pot, and then he looked over. Over there, Zhao Laosi quickly put the lid on the pot, and forced a smile at him: "Are you here?"

After Xiao Fang finished speaking, she looked up and found that her own father had come, and she was also a little surprised.

Xiao Jianhua put on a fake smile: "Of course I have something to do, I will pick up my daughters to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Zhao Laosi felt sour in his heart, but he was speechless to refute.

Although Xiao Fang followed Wu Julan, there was an agreement before the divorce. Even if Wu Julan brought Xiao Fang to remarry in the future, she was not allowed to change her name.

In the past, when Grandma Xiao was still there, whether it was winter vacation, summer vacation, or Chinese New Year, she would send a message asking Xiao Fang to go back to live for a while.

However, Zhao Laosi originally thought that Grandma Xiao passed away and Xiao Hong came to live with them, which meant that the Xiao family didn't care about their sisters, and thought they would not come back to celebrate the New Year, but Xiao Jianhua still came.

At this moment, Zhao Laosi felt really uncomfortable. It would be an exaggeration to say that he regarded Xiao Hong as his own daughter.

But he has really regarded Xiao Fang as his daughter, and now he and Xiao Hong get along very well, and he has been planning to have a reunion year together this year.

In the past six months, thanks to Xiao Hong's suggestion, they were able to earn a lot of money.

Therefore, he and his wife also spent a lot of money in private, quietly buying fresh mutton, just to surprise them, but Xiao Jianhua came again.

It made the idea of ​​his family reunion seem like self-delusion.

Xiao Jianhua originally didn't want to come to pick up his two daughters.

He is their father, they should go back to visit him by themselves.

But yesterday Aunt Liu brought them the 'good' news that the Xiao sisters' stepfather had made a lot of money.

In addition, he also spoke for others, saying that as long as they can quietly write down the method of making fried chicken by the sisters of the Xiao family and give them to them, they are willing to give them 500 yuan.

This is not a small sum, and both Xiao Jianhua and his wife were tempted.

Their family built a two-story red brick house in the second half of the year, and they really emptied the family. Although they did not owe foreign debts, they urgently needed some money.

They want to replace the black and white TV at home with a color TV.

I also want to buy a refrigerator, all of which need money.

What's more, if they can learn how to make fried chicken from their teachers, then they can open a shop to sell fried chicken themselves.

Therefore, Xiao Jianhua came to pick up his daughter in person.

Xiao Fang also understood that her father and stepfather had nothing to say when they were together, so she smiled and shouted: "Dad, you are here, my sister and I were still discussing when to go back to see you yesterday? It's windy outside, let's go in ?”

It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. She feels that she is able to lie without changing her face now, it is all thanks to her sister.

After all, Xiao Hong has been obsessed with counting money for the past two days, completely forgetting about his own father, and never mentioning the Xiao family at all.

After hearing this, Xiao Jianhua was very satisfied and smiled: "Then you don't want to go home early, do you want me to pick you up?"

Xiao Fang couldn't answer, so she could only purse her lips and smile. After meeting Zhao Laosi's eyes, she and Xiao Jianhua went into the room.

At this moment, Xiao Hong had just taken a hot bath, changed into new clothes, and came down to blow dry her hair.

They bought this hair dryer specially from the department store in the city. The Wanli brand hair dryer has a silver appearance, a unique shape, and is very fashionable.

Xiao Hong felt that the hair dryer was ugly, but it was really useful to dry hair in winter.

Wu Julan came over to dry her daughter's hair. The noise was a bit loud, so she raised her voice: "You like to be clean, and you have to wash your hair and take a bath every day. It's a cold day, what if you catch a cold?"

Xiao Hong closed her eyes and enjoyed it, pretending she didn't hear it.

It's not that she likes to be clean, it's that she really can't tolerate the strong smell of oily smoke on her body.

Otherwise, she would have asked them to sell barbecue.

At this moment, Xiao Fang and Xiao Jianhua entered the house.

Xiao Jianhua glanced at Wu Julan's bulging stomach unkindly, and snorted coldly: "At such a great age, I still insist on giving birth to a son, and say I am patriarchal!"

Although the two have been divorced for ten years, Xiao Jianhua doesn't think it's all his fault.

If she had given birth to a son for herself, how could she have divorced her?
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that Wu Julan was pregnant now, wearing a bright red down jacket, she looked very young and beautiful, with a kind of happy atmosphere all over her body.

Not to mention how aggrieved and sour he felt.

Why can this woman live so well without her?

Wu Julan pretended not to hear, and after drying Xiao Hong's hair thoroughly, she said to Xiao Fang: "The hot water in the kitchen is ready, why don't you go take a bath?"

Then he looked at Xiao Jianhua: "Can't you let your daughters spend the New Year with me?"

"Their surname is Xiao, and they are my daughters!" Xiao Jianhua couldn't help showing off: "The family has built a new house, so of course they have to go back and live longer."
