Candide in Chronology is on strike

With Qin He's support, it was a foregone conclusion that the three of them would have dinner at Liu's house at noon.

Of course, Qin Jiang and Qin Xi would want to go home and eat themselves because they felt uncomfortable staying here. At this time, they were left at home to eat, but they valued their performance very much. Whose family's food is not tight? If it’s not close, people won’t open that mouth at all.

In the following time, Qin Xi was responsible for dealing with Mother Liu's questions, Qin Jiang acted as a puppet, and Qin He looked at Liu Mei with a look of infatuation, which was so shameless.

In this regard, Liu Mei, Liu's mother and Grandma Liu became more and more satisfied with him. Looking at him, you can tell that this person is very rare towards Liu Mei. It's better to be rare!In this way, you will be obedient in the future.

People have double standards, like Mother Liu and Grandma Liu. They strongly require their sons to stand up in front of their wives, but their requirements for their sons-in-law/grandson-in-law are different. They want this person to exceed their standards. The more obedient you are, the better. Only such people are easy to control.

Although there are guests today, the Liu family's meal is still so simple, a large pot of sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge, plus steamed buns, and two plates of pickles, two steamed buns for the adults and one for the child.

Because they were guests, Qin Xi and the others sat at the main table directly with Grandma Liu. Although the sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge, steamed buns and pickles were the same as those at other tables, there was an extra bowl of egg drop soup and Stir-fried potatoes with bacon.

Although the egg drop soup comes in a big bowl, it is very clear. It is just like the kelp and egg soup that was available for free in the school cafeteria.

The bacon in the bacon-fried potatoes was cut very thin. It can be seen that the person who cut the bacon was very good with the knife. The two ounces of bacon were cut into half a catty.

It has more potatoes and less bacon, but it smells very fragrant. It is a well-deserved protagonist on the dinner table.

Although they were not sitting at the other two tables, the noise coming from there, the adults’ scoldings, the children’s noisy voices, and the children’s eyes eagerly looking at them, all of this made them very excited. Qin Xi felt extremely uncomfortable.

There were only eight people sitting at the main table, including Grandma Liu, her three sons, Liu Mei, and the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family. The number of people was not very large, so it was not like the other two tables. Just looking at it, everyone was stunned. It felt crowded.

As soon as the two plates of pickles were put on the table, everyone was rushing to grab them. The adults with quick eyes and hands only took less than five seconds to pick up all the pickles in the plates.

The people sitting at the main table were still eating slowly. Liu Mei's father and uncle still talked to Qin He from time to time. The battle at the other two tables was almost over.

A mouthful of potatoes and a mouthful of porridge is still very satisfying, that is, it is still broad daylight. If it is night, they have designated to pour some wine out and have a few sips. It is simply delicious with the bacon on the table.

However, if I can't drink now, there will always be a time when I can drink to my heart's content. When Liu Mei and Qin He get married, they will have a good time no matter what they say.

Among them, the most anticipated one is Liu Mei's second uncle, who is involved in everything from drinking and gambling. If it weren't for the pressure of his wife and mother, and the dragging of his two sons and two daughters, he would have become a bad man long ago.

When she was young, Grandma Liu was very worried about him marrying a wife. No one was willing to marry their daughter to him, a famous second-rate man from all over the country. In the end, it was the shrewd and notorious matchmaker Liu who married him.

Uncle Liu couldn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this marriage. In short, the two had four children together, and life went on like this. Now that the eldest brother of Uncle Liu's family has married and had children, he wants to do those things that have disappeared. What!
Smelling the aroma of meat and oil coming from them, the adults could bear it, but the children couldn't. No, Liu Mei's eldest nephew didn't notice, and ran to her side, asking for meat.

"Auntie, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." He was quite measured. He just pulled Liu Mei's sleeve and spoke without directly reaching out to the table to pull it.

Apart from anything else, if a family member is particularly partial to any one person, it will be difficult to control. If someone takes advantage of them without any rules, the adults will just slap them away without any hesitation.

The family has a large population and many children. With limited resources, if you want to eat more and occupy more by cheating, I'm afraid it's not a dream. Stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots is the kind of food that you can eat without feeling distressed if the stick is broken. Anyway, there are children and grandchildren at home. It doesn't hurt at all when fighting.

Compared with men's roughness, women's thoughts are much more delicate. Each of the five fingers has its own length. Every woman in the family has her own preferences.

Liu Mei's favorite and most distressed nephew is her eldest nephew. She has basically never worked in the field. She basically raised her great eldest nephew in the family. The relationship between the aunt and nephew is even better than the relationship between their mother and son. Therefore, when Liu Mei heard her nephew's pitiful voice, she instantly softened her heart.

The chopsticks of Qin Xi and his three brothers and sisters basically didn't reach the plate of fried potatoes and bacon. At most, when they greeted them, they would pick up a piece of potato.

The Liu family would not even use their chopsticks to reach for meat dishes. After all, there is just a plate of meat dishes. If one person eats it with chopsticks, it will definitely be gone. They all consciously did not reach out to pick it up. They were really greedy, so they just picked it up. Eat it as a piece of potato, and it also tastes like meat.

Therefore, it looks like there is still a lot of meat on the plate.

"Auntie, I'll give you a piece, eat it and then go, okay?" Liu Mei said softly in her nephew's ear.

"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."

Because she was obedient, no one had any objection to her behavior. She directly took a piece of bacon and put it into the mouth of her nephew who had his mouth wide open.

After eating the bacon that he had not seen for a long time, it was fragrant and very chewy. Naturally, the child Liu Jiarong was reluctant to just swallow it whole. It was such a waste, and he had to appreciate it carefully.

At first he held it in his mouth and was reluctant to eat it. After a while, he went directly to sit on the threshold of the main hall of the old house, chewing the bacon in his mouth carefully, and couldn't bear to swallow it for a long time.

Not long after, there were a circle of children around him. The older ones could still control themselves, but they were just greedy. At most, they swallowed two sips silently, but the younger ones, like the two or three-year-old ones, just started eating with their fingers. , smelling the aroma of meat, my mouth is watering.

Children at this time, unlike children of later generations, have never lacked a mouth since they were young. To feed them meat or rice, they need to be coaxed by adults, and they can only get a few mouthfuls by praising them while feeding them.

Today's children are obsessed with protecting food. If there are many children in the family, as soon as they have some food, their first reaction is to stuff it into their mouths. Only what is eaten in the stomach is their own, so they will not snatched away by others.
