Good Dad System (Arc 4) Chapter 39.1: The Eccentric Dad In The Chronicles (8)
In the main room, there was a large four-legged wooden table, with four long benches next to it. It was already time for dinner. After working for half a day, they were already hungry when they got home. Pei Naochun had just sat down when the food was ready. Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai followed Li Xiuzhi and brought the food to the table.
There were only two dishes on the table, one was stir-fried bean sprouts, and the other was pickled cucumbers. At the same time, half a bowl of porridge was served on the table – calling it porridge is an exaggeration. A more appropriate adjective is probably rice in clear soup, with three or two pieces of pumpkin in it, which were cut quite small, not even as long as the little finger.
Pei Naochun’s face was not looking good. He recalled the scenes in his original memory and realized that in this era, the supply of materials was insufficient. The village worked collectively, and the grain distributed collectively was only so much. Every household lived within their means and dared not eat more. In the most turbulent years, the wind was howling, and the private chickens were all rushed to the roost. People who were hungry did not care about growing vegetables and fruits in their private plots. They used all the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh vegetables and meat that could fill people’s stomachs. Don’t even think about it. For a family like theirs that could eat porridge every meal, it was considered a good condition.
Two and a half big boys, one strong laborer, and one adult woman, so much to eat? Pei Naochun’s face was not very good-looking, and when he recalled the scene in the original body’s memory, he realized that in this era, the supply of materials is insufficient, the collective work in the village, and the collective share of the food is so much, and every family lives within their means. Dare to eat a little more. In the most turbulent years in the early years, the wind was so loud that all the chickens raised in private homes rushed to the public. People who were hungry didn’t care what vegetables, melons and fruits were grown in their private plots. Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh vegetables and meat, don’t even think about it, as their family can eat porridge every day, they are all in good condition.
“Stop dawdling every day, and come let me serve you all.” Li Xiuzhi akimbo with one hand and a long wooden spoon in the other, staring at her two sons.
“Mom, I’m sorry, don’t be angry.” Pei Jianlai spoke immediately, tugging at his brother who had been in a daze for some reason. He hurriedly handed over the bowl and smiled at his mother to please his mother. Behind his brother, he put the bowl on the table and waited for his mother to serve.
Pei Naochun was a little overwhelmed. Shouldn’t the two children be the ones to get the food? Furthermore, in the few worlds he has experienced, respect for the elders is placed in a very important position. Usually, the elders will be served first. How can there be a reason for the children to be served first?
But soon, his doubts were answered.
Li Xiuzhi took the bowl and took the soup spoon with one hand. Her technique was very professional. She first put the semicircular soup spoon into the basin, stirred it twice, and then lifted it up from the bottom. Before it was halfway, she shook it twice, and finally filled a full spoonful and put it into her son’s bowl.
If he was not mistaken, this was clearly shaking off the rice grains, right? Pei Naochun blinked and looked at it intently.
Li Xiuzhi ignored his look and repeated this action several times. On the premise of ensuring that there were rice grains in the bowls of the two sons, she gave as much rice soup as possible. The pumpkin floating on the rice soup never fell on her soup spoon from beginning to end. After serving the children’s rice, she served the couple’s. Li Xiuzhi was fair, giving each of them half, two pieces of pumpkin to Pei Naochun and one piece to her. The two bowls of rice were quite full, with a small half bowl of rice and a large half bowl of soup. In short, it looked much more substantial than the sons’.
The two sons were quite used to it. They sat down with their rice bowls and looked at Pei Naochun eagerly, waiting for his order to start eating.
Pei Naochun wanted to give some to his two sons, but when he first arrived, he didn’t want to do anything too disruptive, so he acquiesced to everything. He had just picked up the chopsticks, and the two sons opposite him were very fast, and they ate everything up.
Yes, he saw Pei Jianshe and Pei Jianlai move quickly, quickly picked up a few chopsticks of food from the plate, threw them into their bowls, then put down their chopsticks, raised their bowls high, and drank them all. If they didn’t pick up the food, they didn’t even use chopsticks as tools. It is estimated that this bowl of rice would be finished in less than three minutes?
Just as Pei Naochun was about to pick up vegetables, the chopsticks stopped in the air before they reached their destination. How could he think that his two sons were not eating but broadcasting?
“Are you reincarnated from starving ghosts? You eat like this.” Li Xiuzhi looked at her two sons, full of anger. These little boys are eating me down. Although these two children can work, they eat a lot. Now that they are going to get a wife, they dare to make demands? The daughter-in-law was brought back, which meant there was one more mouth to feed, but they still asked her to pay for things! Why!
Pei Jianlai was used to being scolded, and he was not angry at all: “Hey, Mom, I’ll go wash the dishes.” He took his and his eldest brother’s bowls and went to the backyard quickly, fearing that he would make his mother unhappy again. He knew from a young age that when his mother was angry, he should either listen to her scolding or stay away.
