Chapter 25 Mother Is Still Outside

After the fish balls in the pot float.

Li Duoyu scooped one out and put it into Li Haoran's bowl.

The impatient little fat man blew a few puffs, opened his mouth and bit into it. As a result, the meat juice in the fish balls was so hot that he breathed out.

But he still didn't stop, and then blew a few breaths.

I bit off more than half of it.

He was afraid that someone would snatch the same food as him.

Seeing the anxious look on Little Fatty reminded Li Duoyu of his childhood, which seemed to be a virtue. Every time his mother made fish balls, he would wait by the stove with bowls and chopsticks.

That would be different than now.

Every time my mother-in-law makes fish balls, she has to let the gods eat them first.

Only by bowing down can I give them food.

After taking a few breaths, Xiao Pangdun stuffed the remaining fish balls into his mouth and sucked up the soup from the fish balls in the bowl.

"Uncle, your fish balls are so delicious. They are tender and elastic. They burst into pulp when you take a bite. They are much better than my mother's. Give me another one."

After hearing this, Chen Huiying's face was full of disgust: "Your mother lied to you. She didn't know how to make this. They were all cheap things bought at the pier."

Little Fatty smiled innocently.

"Grandma, I know, I just want to save some face for her."

Li Duoyu touched Li Haoran's head. The second sister-in-law did have a bad personality, but she was a very sensible child who was very lovable.

"One, it's not as big as yours. I'll give you a bowl. We'll have this for lunch."

"Great."

Little Fatty was so happy that he almost took off on the spot.

Li Duoyu first gave Xiao Pangdun a bowl of fish balls, then his mother, then Zhou Xiaoying, and finally himself.

Zhou Xiaoying took a few mouthfuls of fish balls, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she returned to the bedroom.

Zhou Xiaoying's sudden reaction left Li Duoyu completely confused. After following him, he discovered that Zhou Xiaoying was actually crying.

"What's wrong, don't the fish balls taste good?"

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head desperately.

"No, it's just so delicious. I'm afraid I'll vomit it all out if I eat too much."

Only then did Li Duoyu remember that during the time when he was running the goods, there was not much fire at home, and Zhou Xiaoying ate very simply.

Three meals a day are the same.

Dried oysters, dried salted fish and dried radish.

Li Duoyu hugged the woman distressedly: "From now on, I will definitely feed you well, dress you well, and keep you fat and healthy."

"I don't want to get fat. If I get fat, I will have to make clothes again in the future."

"Then it will be pure and white."

However, before Zhou Xiaoying could be moved, the whole atmosphere was broken by a groping hand. This time she was too lazy to resist.

"Hurry up"

Li Duoyu couldn't believe it. Is this really going to be so exciting?

"Are you sure? Mom is still outside."

"We don't do that, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Duoyu came out of the bedroom feeling still unfinished, feeling even more melancholy. His current state was like a balloon filled with water, but he just refused to let go.

What a sin!

From now on, if my son dares to misbehave after he comes out, he will be spanked hard.

Seeing Li Duoyu come out, Chen Huiying quickly asked: "Xiaoying, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just felt happy suddenly. Just rest."

"That's how it is now. When I was first pregnant with your eldest brother, I often couldn't eat. But after a few more babies, I didn't feel anything at all."

"As Xiaoying's body is so weak, you have to take good care of her, otherwise it will not be so easy to conceive the next child."

Li Duoyu was a little speechless. She hadn't even given birth to her first child yet, but my mother was already thinking about having a second child.

This time I made more than 100 fish balls in total.

Li Duoyuyun took out twenty pills and asked Xiao Pang Dun to deliver them to the third aunt's house.

Seeing Li Duoyu sending so many fish balls to Zhou Meiying's family, Chen Huiying looked reluctant to give up.

"Why do you want to give them fish balls?"

Li Duoyu said truthfully:

"Today I met my third aunt in the sea. She originally wanted to buy my sharks and eels to make fish balls. I happened to be planning to make them too, so I promised to give them some."

"These are rice fish and pork. These twenty can be sold for a lot of money."

"As for relatives, relationships will only be good if they come and go. Last year, when my third aunt's family made a lot of money by selling goods, they also gave my father a radio."

"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about this."

Thinking of this, Chen Huiying glanced at the middle child's house and couldn't help but sigh. If only her daughter-in-law could suddenly change her temper and become as sensible as Duoyu.

Then the world will be at peace.

Chen Huiying brought a bowl of fish balls to Lao Li, who was still lying on the rocking chair and listening to the radio.

"I won't cook for lunch. I'll eat the fish balls made by Lao Si."

"The fish balls he makes are so delicious."

Chen Huiying glanced at him with disgust, then placed the fish balls on the wooden table next to her: "Why does this mouth look like a dead duck? The older it gets, the harder it gets."

After Chen Huiying left.

Lao Li climbed up from the rocking chair, looked at the big and fat fish balls in the bowl, picked up his chopsticks, inserted one, and put it in his mouth.

He found that it was really good. It was much better than the chef in the village who held weddings and weddings. After finishing one bowl, he wanted to have another bowl.

I kind of regret what I just said.

He said to Li Haoran who was sitting on the stone bar: "My dear grandson, go fill another bowl for your grandpa."

Li Haoran shouted on the spot: "Grandma, grandpa said he wants another bowl."

These words made Lao Li feel very embarrassed instantly.

After eating the fish balls, Zhou Xiaoying, who did have some morning sickness, went to rest.

Dad and Mom had to help others catch oysters in the afternoon. If they caught oysters for an entire afternoon, the employer would give them two yuan as wages.

Li Duoyu was not idle either.

He was preparing the seafood dinner for the evening. Now, he was making the chicken soup with clams.

This is a national banquet dish.

Many people can’t afford it,

and it can be very down-to-earth.

But in this era of extreme lack of seasonings, with only shrimp oil, salt, MSG and soy sauce, Li Duoyu couldn’t be exquisite even if he wanted to.

It’s almost enough.

Li Duoyu cut the tender chicken into four large pieces, blanched it with the pork, and rubbed a little salt on the chicken and pork.

Put it in an iron pot and stew it in water.

The soup must be boiled out first.

This dish relies on the deliciousness of the tongue three-tenths and the chicken soup seven-tenths. To make this dish well, you need to be very patient.

When boiling the soup.

Li Duoyu sat on the stone slab in the courtyard, and instinctively reached into his pocket, but found that his pocket was empty.

Yes, there were no mobile phones in this era.

There was no place to read novels and short videos.

When he was bored, he could only look at the scenery, but he looked at the busy dock not far away, and his thoughts were a little scattered.

Li Haoran, who had eaten three bowls of fish balls, sat next to Li Duoyu, also looking into the distance, and suddenly said:

"Uncle, is the treasure island across the sea really that good? I heard on the radio that the students there all wear beautiful clothes and shoes, and have piano lessons."

Li Duoyu looked into the distance.

The place Li Haoran mentioned is actually very close to Dandan Island, only about 80 kilometers away.

It is also because it is too close.

Their province is a war preparedness province. Before the "three links", all large-scale heavy industry and technology-related projects would not fall into their province.

This also indirectly led to the fact that the people of this province did not live very well for a period of time, but fortunately everyone worked very hard.

By 2022, the GDP of overseas provinces will have already lost to their provinces.

Li Duoyu said calmly:

"They are indeed doing well now."

"However, they are just the early bird catches the worm. Let them fly for a while. When we take off, they may not even be able to afford eggs."
