One meat-filled steamed bun is finished in half a minute. Baili laughed with a satisfied stomach .Although it was a little but very satisfying compared to eating that loathsome bowl of rice bran.
Likewise with the old man, he had never eaten such a large amount of food .Especially tomorrow there would still be if he asked for it.
He was fifty-six years old. But his teeth were still complete without losing a single stick.
Perhaps the food here has not been contaminated with chemicals or people in this era rarely eat sweet things.
" dad, tell mom. Don't skimp on meat tonight .Let's eat it all. If it's less tomorrow I'll take it again" said baili.
Baili was sure the old man would feel a pity to finish the big meat for one meal. Rare things need to be saved. But he would never let it happen.
"OK" said the man immediately agreed
Without thinking .
These items were indeed rare but would not be rare anymore if his daughter could ask for them every day instead.
Done eating this old man out of the baili room.She said if it was time to pick up more stuff, just keep it in their room.
" go get some rest you've worked hard today "he said, waving and closing the door.
In his hand was a piece of steamed bread that had not been eaten. This is the ration of the old wife. Better to keep it in their room.
Hehehe the model woman.
baili rested in the room again. The old mother had already finished the laundry and dried it in the courtyard.
Because it was late afternoon the villagers returned to their homes to prepare dinner.
The first one came back and that was two bai daughter-in-law.
People often call him Bai's first son-in-law and Bai's second son-in-law. This shows the position of both of them in the family.
After marriage, women break up with their previous identities. They will become called according to position as in the example above.
Later if anyone talks about their husband they will be called daughter-in-law A
One more thing forgotten .In this era people will not call a wife by the name of wife. Except for the daughter-in-law.
Later if they have children they will be called with the mother of A.
these are the examples that lead people to say if the woman is like water being bulked into the ground. They will disappear without a trace of the birth family.
There are also down-to-earth terms like, raising a daughter is just like raising someone else's child.
Are useless and throw away food.
After marriage women are often used as free servants in their respective homes.
if there is a story about a woman who was beaten or miscarried due to KDRT in the family. It was very ordinary and commonplace.
Divorce still exists in state law.
But a divorce reflects the poorness of the birth family in educating the child. As a result even though a child from the family is intelligent and has talent .
They will find it difficult to find a decent job due to a bad reputation.
Often when the woman can no longer stand being tortured in her home. They chose to commit suicide rather than return to the birth family.
The birth family will not accept a woman who returns like this.
No one wants a divorce to happen.
But eldest sister Bai will experience it in the near future. Baili didn't know the exact time it would happen but she could get ready before everything took effect.
Now that his stomach is full. Baili has a lot of ideas lodged in her little brain .But now is not the right time to make it happen.
The female lead is still in the village .The thing he was going to do should not be done now. After the female lead left the village, only then would she do it.Today's meat case was a special case.
So this doesn't count
" mother ?" call the son-in-law asking the eldest he lanlan.
Hearing his name called old mother Baili understood if they had returned.
So he got up and handed the kitchen work to two daughters-in-law.
" There's meat in the well, cook it and keep the rest"
Two daughters-in-law, look at each other. They think they misheard what meat.
" why shut up & start working. Soon the men will return, do not let them starve" said the old mother seriously.
However, the two of them did not move at all because they were confused.
" why should it be divided, just spend it all .We're going to have a big dinner tonight .Add a big bowl for everyone" said the man-in-law who suddenly showed his face at the kitchen door.
Hearing his words of course the old woman was not happy
Meat is rare so do not spend it on one meal.
" why not "he said don't be angry.
" lili said she was greedy for meat tonight so the grandchildren could also eat " he replied but not leaving the old woman's door suddenly understood what she meant they would run out of beef tomorrow still be able to pick it up again.
"okay then, take the meat in the well and cook it all" said the mother with her two daughters-in-law.
If these words came out of the mouth of the male in-laws, of course it was true.
Both of them run this impatiently towards the well.this area is hot but somehow the air in the well makes everything cold sometimes tends to freeze.
This is the village's natural refrigerator. Everything you want to keep will be put here just like the meat.
So the water in this well is never used for bathing washing or so much less for drinking.
The depth is often more than 15 meters down.Because it does not use concrete, so wells like this will be vulnerable to landslides.
This well belongs to the ancients somehow they built it so not all citizens have this kind of source.
Only the main house has it .While the new houses are built or branch houses. Has a new model well but the depth is only 10 meters or less.
Surprisingly they do not have the same coolness possessed by this old well.
The bai family has been in this village for generations .Of course they have it.
How to store goods is also not difficult .Provide a small bucket packed with rope and place the item in the bucket. Then tie it on the side by staying down with the heart of the heart.
if you want it, just pull it up again and be ready.
What was done by two daughters-in-law, was to pull the bucket that felt heavy.
As soon as the bucket reached the mouth of the well, the two were shocked. It is a large lean meat. Even though they don't like it very much, meat is meat.
Nervously the two ran into the kitchen again holding onto the big meat.
" mother, if this meat is cooked" asked the eldest daughter-in-law.
The old man just nodded with a smile. He knew the two daughter-in-laws must not believe that.
After getting a definite answer from the mother-in-law. The two of them rushed to cook dinner. This time they cooked it while laughing happily in the kitchen.
The so-called dinner is not a meal at the same hour in the modern era.
Not no lamp oil, but the presence of lamp oil means spending a few cents. To save them, we'll have dinner before dark.
Not long after that one by one the bai families both young and old returned from the fields.So did our female lead.
Although he was not so hopeful with this dinner within the Bai family .But he can't make people suspicious.
So he came back to help clean the cutlery like a cousin
her female.
While little auntie must be good enough to sleep in her room alone.
From the mouths of the people she knew that little aunt had regained consciousness before lunch. God knew he wanted the little aunt to die in this accident.
But apparently he had a bit of luck and lived on the third day he was in a coma.
But that luck won't last long.
"Bau meat, hey I smell meat. Where did you come from, you kissed her " said six-year-old Bai Yhuzie to her younger sister
Bai niu nodded loudly. He agreed with his brother's words. She kissed him too.
"What meat, maybe Ran's grandmother next door is cooking meat.so the smell is smelled all the way here right?" obviously Bai tong.
" it might be "said bai yhuzie disappointed.
They didn't even taste the new year's meat yesterday. Why is there meat today.
Bai niu who ran into the kitchen came back happily, she said.
" sister mom cooks meat, hahaha. I'm cooking meat for us to have dinner tonight"
"what, really ?you're not kidding, are you?" ask her brother again
It was not the child who was surprised . The three men who came later were just as shocked as them.
Bai Jian granddaughter bai .Can't wait to run to the kitchen. He did not believe in this house there would be meat after all this time.
Haven't gotten into the kitchen smelling meat and got into his nose. Now he was convinced by what the little cousin had said.
He said again to his father with joy.
" mom's cooking daddy's meat tonight we're gonna eat a lot of meat"
why did he say the meat was this much because mom cooked it straight into a big pot that used to cook water.
Seen both times the pot was indeed full of meat and old cabbage.
Mother also boiled sweet potatoes in a small bed.
The mother of two baili had gone to the house next door, she gave him a large piece of meat and asked for some sweet potatoes instead.
Old mistress Ran lives with her son also has three grandchildren. Although they also had similar difficulties, he had the eldest son who served the country by becoming a military soldier.
His eldest son routinely sends some rupiah and some tickets to Ran's family.
They are still above average.
Sweet potatoes the most things in the house.They just stockpile it in the cellar.
Half of it is dry for backup.
So swapping sweet potatoes for meat does not have much effect.
At that time old mother Bai began to tell me about the reason where the meat came from.
Old mistress Ran believed this story too.She was happy to hear it.
They have been neighbors since marriage until now.So know a little about each other's rights. Although it could borrow but old mother baili was too embarrassed to borrow.
Now with this meat he can open his mouth to barter a few more pounds of sweet potatoes.
So the sweet potato is the staple menu for dinner this time.
Baili was lying down when called to dinner.His head was still sore.
But it didn't stop her from going to dinner together.
There are two tables when people will eat.Two tables are set following a certain generation.
One table filled with father and old mother bai.They sat at the head of the table.
On the other hand for his two sons and their daughter-in-law.in this case two older brothers Baili and their wife.
There was also one seat for Baili himself.
While the other table had grandchildren there, the one sitting at the head of the table was Bai's first grandson.
The female lead also sat here.
That's the rule.
Later if there are guests the rules can be changed again .It can be arranged by gender or by age.
Now there are no guests so the sitting position is like this.
While two daughters-in-law in charge of dividing food on everyone.If the rich people they will put a large pot into the middle of the table.Can take as they please.
If a difficult person was like the Bai family, they would divide it directly into bowls to be fair.
This job falls on the eldest daughter-in-law.If in another household that has a stingy mother-in-law.She will not easily give this job to her daughter-in-law.Fearn her she will give more to her own children but the others are not so.
But old mother Bai didn't do it.
Today can open the stomach until it breaks.So there is a large bowl in the middle of the table that is more interesting .
Oldest sister-in-law serves sweet mother first.There are a few pieces on everyone's bowl.
Only then put two pieces of meat into it.the rest is soup .
Said the mother-in-law all her can be spent.So she put two pieces of perorang.For this big man three pieces.
After he finished dividing, the eldest brother-in-law sat down again.
Old father Baili, take the chopsticks to take a piece of meat into his mouth.
Only after he started, could everyone eat.
Dinner this time is very festive.There are two pieces of meat with a lot of sweet potatoes that are filling.But the aroma of the soup can not be in vain right.
Baili was quite satisfied with this.Although a little bland because of salt diarrhea.
But this is better than eating bran.
Some grandchildren attract extra filling soup.
But in one corner Yanyan was dumbfounded.
In his previous life the Bai family had never eaten meat.So where did this meat come from.
