Chapter 442 Gu Jiandong and Jiang Ziqiang buy mooncakes
When Shen Qiu came home from get off work, she saw that her mother-in-law and her family had cooked so many dishes, all of which were her favorites.
She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. "Why do you make so many? I can't finish them all by myself."
"If you can't finish it, we'll have it. Xiaoqiu, I've called some of my comrades to come over for dinner. I want to show off tonight. I'm going to be a father."
Jiang Ziqiang looked a little silly when he smiled, and Shen Qiu couldn't bear to watch it, but she was very happy in her heart.
The man is so happy that she is pregnant, which proves that he is looking forward to having a child with her.
Comrades came over one after another, all carrying things in their hands. Jiang Ziqiang was like a loud speaker.
Not long after he left, everyone in the entire military region knew that his wife was pregnant, and they invited them to their home for dinner, and no one was embarrassed to come empty-handed.
Shen Qiu asked them to sit down. "You are here, so why are you here? You are not outsiders."
"Sister-in-law, what we got are local specialties from our hometown. They are not worth much. Let's try something new."
Everyone put the things they brought on the table, and Jiang's mother poured them some sugar water.
Everyone sat in the yard and chatted, and only started eating after all the dishes were ready.
"I've heard from Ziqiang that Auntie is a good cook. Today we are finally blessed with a delicious meal."
"If you like it, eat more. There's more in the pot."
Jiang Ziqiang invited his comrades to come, and he did not neglect his wife at the dinner table.
She took good care of him in every way, and Shen Shuyu, who was standing nearby, smiled like an auntie when she saw it.
Gu Jiandong himself did not neglect his wife, and he always held his son in his arms during meals.
He would eat only after he had fed his son. The dishes that Shen Shuyu couldn't reach, the dishes he wanted to eat,
Shen Shuyu took a look at it and put the dish into her bowl the next second.
Jiang's mother lived with her son and daughter-in-law for half a month. She had something to do in the army.
After packing his clothes, he said something and went to the station, not even letting Shen Qiu or Jiang Ziqiang see him off.
After her mother-in-law passed away, Shen Qiu felt that her home was empty. Before she got married, she was always worried that she would not get along with her mother-in-law.
After getting married, I found that my worries were completely unnecessary. My mother-in-law couldn't be any better.
He didn't interfere with their lives and even came to see me when I was pregnant.
"Sister, I am a little reluctant to see my mother-in-law go."
Shen Shuyu smiled, "When you and Ziqiang are free, go over and take a look. Your parents-in-law will definitely be very happy if you go."
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. I will make mooncakes and you can send some to your parents-in-law."
They live nearby, so the mooncakes sent to them won't go bad. But it's not the same for her parents-in-law who live in the northwest. The mooncakes sent to them will go bad.
"Sister, can you make mooncakes?"
"I've read about it in a book and I want to try it." Shen Shuyu had nothing else to do but plenty of time.
"Then remember to call me. I want to work with you. The supply and marketing cooperative will give out mooncakes.
Ziqiang also said that the army would distribute mooncakes, so we would have no problem eating mooncakes. It would be nice if our grandparents were here.”
They didn't eat much mooncakes. The supply and marketing cooperatives sold mooncakes, and my family bought them every year.
But mooncakes are made of fine grains, so grandparents are reluctant to buy too much, just one or two.
The family members share a small piece, taste it, and that's it - eating mooncakes.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival Shen Qiu is craving for mooncakes.
She and her elder sister are both married and have jobs. Their workplaces and the military will give them mooncakes.
They couldn’t even finish eating the mooncakes. Their home was too far away, and they couldn’t eat the mooncakes sent back.
"When we get home, I'll cook it for them. They can eat as much as they want."
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Gu Jiandong is considerate and knows that Old Lady Shen and her friends will be reluctant to buy mooncakes.
He sent a telegram to Du Changtian early, asking him to buy twenty mooncakes for Old Mrs. Shen.
Jiang Ziqiang is also the grandson-in-law. Since he is not at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes must be bought. He also asked Du Changtian to buy twenty mooncakes.
This adds up to forty mooncakes. Fortunately, the Shen family is large and mooncakes are the best food nowadays, so there is no worry about not being able to finish them.
Du Changtian bought some mooncakes and came to Shen's house the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival to give them to Old Lady Shen.
He left as soon as the mooncakes were delivered to him. Old Mrs. Shen wanted to invite him to have a meal at her home but failed.
Liu Pan had a keen sense of smell. Seeing her mother-in-law carrying two large bags, she smiled brightly and said, "Mom, is it heavy? I'll help you carry it."
When she was given the mooncake, Old Lady Shen thought she would dig a hole and taste the mooncake in advance. "No, go back to the house."
Zhang Cuicui came out and asked, "Mom, what is this? A snack?"
"Mooncakes, these are bought by Jiandong and Ziqiang for Director Du. These two kids are busy in the army but still miss their family."
Old Mrs. Shen was smiling so happily that all the wrinkles on her face were piled up. I don’t know how good her mood was.
Zhang Cuicui looked at the two large bags in her mother-in-law's hands with surprise in her eyes, "What's in there?"
Old Lady Shen weighed it and said, "I think so. You'll know when you open it."
Li Caixia came out of the house and heard Jiandong and her son-in-law asked someone to buy mooncakes, so she also went over.
After opening the mooncake wrapping and seeing the mooncake inside, Mrs. Shen could only say that her two children were so filial.
Liu Pan looked at the man with his mouth wide open, "There are so many mooncakes. They must have bought all the mooncakes in the supply and marketing cooperative."
Liu Pandi wanted to count how many there were, but he was really bad at it. "Sister-in-law, please count how many mooncakes there are here."
Zhang Cuicui could still count them clearly. She counted them twice and said, "Forty."
"Forty? My god, I'm afraid even the landlords in the past didn't have so many mooncakes to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Mooncakes are all made of fine grains, and she couldn’t bear to buy just one for herself.
"They are filial and care about their families. You should remember the good things about these children. Okay, each of you can take ten."
Each family took ten, and Zhang Cuicui and Liu Pandi couldn't stop smiling.
"Jiandong and Ziqiang are both good kids. Mom, you are so lucky to have two such good grandsons-in-law."
Zhang Cuicui and Liu Pan praised him, and then said, "Second sister-in-law, you are also lucky to have such a good son-in-law."
Li Caixia straightened her back after hearing this. She was indeed blessed. Look, her daughter married so well.
Let's see which son-in-law can be as filial as her son-in-law, who is in the army thousands of miles away.
I still miss my family during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I bought so many mooncakes.
This is because she cares about her daughter and loves her family so much that she is so good to them.
Liu Pandi took the mooncake back to the house with a smile. Her son was not at home, so she ate one first. As she was eating, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
In their family, there is only the eldest wife but no daughter. Shu Yu and Xiao Qiu listened to their family members and knew how to choose men. All the men were excellent.
Then look at her niece from the same village, who married a little pepper who couldn't stand up straight, and had to eat bran and vegetables for three meals a day.
She is so happy and has no idea what's going on. She has big dreams every day. Seeing her cousins living well, she is jealous to the point of going crazy.
If she had listened to her father...
Forget it, that stupid thing, her brain is full of bubbles, she always thinks about being the mayor's wife.
It’s disheartening just thinking about it. She is Liu Pandi with a new brain now, and she can’t let this stupid thing make her even more stupid.
