Chapter 132: There’s less bacon at home?
Chapter 132: There’s less bacon at home?
The next day is also the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Yi and Lou Xiao'e were preparing to go to Xu's father and Xu's mother to pay New Year's greetings.
It is worth mentioning that
Originally, after learning about Lou Xiao'e's pregnancy, Xu's father and Xu's mother proposed to move back to take care of their daughter-in-law.
But in the end,
However, Xu Yi declined because he didn't want the two elders to work too hard.
After all,
Not to mention that the living habits of both parties are different, and they are not used to living together.
Moreover, Lou Xiaoe is only four months pregnant and has just started to show her pregnancy.
Not to the point of needing to be waited on.
What's more,
Even if that time does come,
Xu Yi also had no intention of asking his father and mother to come all the way to help,
Instead, I am going to ask the third aunt or the second aunt in the yard to help take care of it,
Plus He Yuyu, the little cook,
No need to worry at all.
"Strange,"
"What's wrong, Ezi...?"
Seeing the confused look on his wife's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing,"
"I just feel like someone has been in our kitchen. Why do we seem to be missing a few pieces of bacon?"
"Huh?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Hearing what Lou Xiaoe said,
Xu Yi also quickly came to the kitchen and took a look.
If it were something else, he might not take it seriously.
But know that
There is a famous Thief Saint in this courtyard,
Especially since Banggeng had just recently been released from the juvenile detention center, he couldn't guarantee that the other party would keep an eye on his good stuff.
But on the surface,
Xu Yi also looked indifferent and comforted.
"Maybe you remembered it wrong,"
"We have to go to our parents' place for dinner today, let's talk about it later."
"Well,"
A few words left,
Lou Xiaoe's doubts were quickly dispelled.
As for Xu Yi, he was not idle, looking at the piles of bacon and other good things in the kitchen.
A curl of the corner of the mouth,
He showed a hint of amusement and started to get busy.
"Haha, are you a thief?"
And after breakfast,
The couple also came to the home of Xu's father and Xu's mother.
It is worth mentioning that
After Xu Fugui applied to be transferred to the cinema, the courtyard he was assigned was just a two-entry quadrangle.
There are many fewer residents in the courtyard than in Nanluogu Lane.
Even so,
Wherever there are people, there are also some disputes.
Especially during the Chinese New Year and holidays, children from every household dare to come and get together,
And some people who are successful in their careers
Naturally, it is inevitable to give all kinds of generous gifts to your parents.
This is also the capital that many older generations show off after dinner.
"Old Xu,"
"I heard that your two sons both work in the steel rolling mill. I wonder how they are doing?"
"My useless son is now assigned to the meat factory,"
“During the Chinese New Year this year, the factory gave each of them twenty kilograms of pork!”
But I saw a neighbor aunt who also wanted to show off her son’s treatment in the meat factory,
A few words left,
It immediately attracted a lot of envious looks.
When Xu Fugui heard this, he was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
"Aunt Wang,"
"My youngest son is the canteen director of the steel rolling mill, and their treatment during the Chinese New Year is much better than your son."
"Haha, I don't believe it,"
The face of the middle-aged woman who spoke was also full of disbelief.
"My son and daughter-in-law will be coming to celebrate the New Year in a while. Just give me something by the way. Just watch it!"
The words fell,
But there was also a voice coming from the door of the courtyard.
"Dad, Mom!"
It was Xu Yi who was pushing a bicycle and carrying Lou Xiao'e.
"Second brother," "Xiao'e is here too, hurry up and take a rest."
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law arriving, Xu Fugui, who was still arguing with his neighbor, stood up quickly,
Soon,
The residents in the courtyard also saw Xu Yi pushing his bicycle and Lou Xiao'e behind him.
I have to say,
One of the two was wearing a brand new tunic suit, and the other was wearing a woolen coat.
The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful,
Plus that bicycle, which is also quite new,
Whether it's pork, chickens and ducks hanging on the handlebars, or tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea and other things in the basket,
It also left many residents dumbfounded!
Especially,
The Aunt Wang who showed off her son's meat factory worker earlier.
At this moment, I was blushing with embarrassment and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
At the same time, I was a little curious,
Is the efficiency of the steel rolling mill so good?
Otherwise, how could Xu Yi, a canteen director, get so many good things?
After all,
If it’s just some food, forget it,
But things like tobacco, wine, and tea are not something that ordinary people can get.
For ordinary people,
If you can afford a pack of Qianmen cigarettes for one dollar, that's pretty good.
And Xu Yi sent it,
It was actually a whole strip of Huazi and several bottles of Maotai!
At this moment,
Not to mention the residents in the courtyard, even Xu Fugui's eyes widened.
Subconsciously, he thought that his son got these things from the Lou family.
"Second brother,"
"Could it be that these things were given by your father-in-law?"
"Dad, what did you say,"
Before Xu Yi could speak, Lou Xiao'e next to him smiled and explained.
"This is a New Year's greeting from the leaders of Xu Yi's factory."
Of course,
Lou Xiao'e also knew that her husband was very resourceful and often got some good things.
But now there are many people and many eyes,
Naturally, she blamed Li Xinmin for this matter.
The so-called color is red when it is close to vermilion, and black when it is close to ink.
Since marrying Xu Yi,
And after living in the yard for many months.
Lou Xiao'e is no longer as silly and sweet as she was when she first got married.
"So that's what it is,"
As expected,
Hearing these words, not only Xu Fugui had a look of surprise on his face.
Even the other people in the courtyard couldn't help but nodded, becoming even more envious of Xu Yi.
At this moment,
There was also a lot of praise.
"Old Xu,"
"The second son of your family is capable at first glance."
"Not only is the wife she married so beautiful, but she is also so capable that she can be valued by the leader."
"That's right,"
"I became the director of the canteen of the steel rolling mill at such a young age. I'm afraid I won't be able to advance further in the future."
"My boy, please help me and take care of him more in the future."
Listening to everyone's compliments, Xu Fugui's face glowed even more.
As for the previous Aunt Wang,
He had already sneaked back home and didn't dare to come out any more.
Of course,
With this long-standing act, and the fact that Lou Xiao'e is now pregnant with the flesh and blood of the old Xu family.
Naturally, this meal was quite easy.
In contrast,
Xu Damao was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Da Mao,"
"Look at how out of place you are all day long, why don't you quickly marry a daughter-in-law and carry on the family lineage."
"Now even your younger brothers and sisters have children,"
"Don't look back. Your nephew is already making soy sauce, but there's still no movement from your side!"
