Chapter 30: Eldest Sister's Cooking Skills

After taking out two grass carps from the space and returning home, the elder sister, who had lost all hope in life, was playing with her younger sister by counting ants.

After seeing Zhang Xingwang coming back, the eldest sister ran over and grabbed his arm, and asked nervously:

"How's your second sister's work going?"

"Everything is done. I guess my second sister has already started working by now, right?"

After hearing this, the elder sister let go of his arm, patted his shoulder in a solemn manner, and said with a look of relief:

"Xingwang, you have really grown up"

Zhang Xingwang was grimacing in pain and almost crying. How strong is this elder sister? Doesn’t she know it?

It seems that we should stay away from the elder sister when she is too happy. He looked at the elder sister speechlessly, put down the fish, and went into the house with his arms folded.

Not long after he lay down, he felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and saw the little girl biting her fingers and staring at him without blinking.

Well, it seems that I can’t sleep. He picked up the little girl and asked:

"Why are you looking at your brother? Do you want to eat something delicious?"

"My elder sister said not to disturb my brother, so I will wait here for him to wake up."

Children nowadays are more well-behaved and are basically left alone. I have never seen a child who is disobedient or crying.

But it is also related to the different education methods of parents nowadays. In later generations, there are fewer children in the family, and they are all precious and pampered.

It's not like now, where all the kids are naughty. If the kids don't listen, they'll be spanked, and if they still don't listen, they'll be spanked again.

After beating my kid, my dad didn’t dare to tell my mom, otherwise there would probably be another mixed doubles match.

Take the uncle opposite as an example. He beat his children on rainy days. He was just doing nothing. He was probably addicted to beating them.

I carried the little girl to the supply and marketing cooperative. Although the salesperson didn't say anything, his eyes expressed my full meaning.

"This kid wasn't beaten to death by his family, and he still dares to come here!"

He ignored the salesperson and bought five bottles of Fenjiu, two kilograms of sesame oil, a bottle of soda, two bags of snacks and half a kilogram of sugar for the little girl.

With the salesperson's look that said, "This guy is definitely dead this time," he walked away without looking back.

Looking at the little girl's admiring eyes, Zhang Xingwang felt very happy. He tidied up the little girl's pigtails and took her home.

Jia Zhang watched the two people passing by and kept muttering to herself, which was probably not good. Zhang Xingwang ignored her. This was just the beginning. It seemed that she needed to be provoked a little more.

When I got home, I saw my eldest sister clumsily cleaning the fish. I was immediately glad that we were going to my third uncle's house for dinner today. Otherwise, looking at my eldest sister's expression, I wouldn't have known how to eat today's meal.

I originally thought that Fourth Sister’s cooking skills were unmatched in the world, and the meals she made were simply beyond words.

At first I thought it was because my fourth sister was reluctant to use oil. Later, when I bought oil for the family, I found out that my fourth sister’s cooking skills can only make you full, but there is no way to make you eat well.

Who knows there is always a mountain higher than the other! The fourth sister also met the eldest sister, and she admired her and said that she was superficial. If there is Yu, why is there Liang?

It seems that the mother’s cooking skills are the only ones in the family that can be considered as cooking skills. Before crossing over, I lived alone, so I had no problem with basic cooking.

But these days, there are no seasoning packets, and everyone has to make their own seasonings. Family members don’t have access to secret recipes or anything like that, so Zhang Xingwang’s cooking skills are not fully utilized.

It seems that the family is still short of a cook. My mother, Wang Xiulan, is getting old, so my eldest sister should take over her job and let her come back to plant flowers and grow grass every day. It would be even better if she could make use of her spare time and learn some recipes to cook.

My mother, Wang Xiulan, has been replacing my father as a fitter for several years and is still a first-class worker. Moreover, most of the people in the workshop are men. As a rural woman, she can't understand the drawings. She just works very hard every day. If she continues to work, she will probably collapse early.

Moreover, ever since Zhang Xingwang took over the family's food, clothing and daily expenses, Wang Xiulan is not as energetic as before. She has been feeling listless when she returns home these past two days.

I guess it was because I was holding my breath for the sake of my family life. Now that my family is doing well, I let out my anger and relaxed, and then I felt unwell.

Zhang Xingwang also noticed that, especially in the past two days, Wang Xiulan was lazy after returning home. She originally wanted to make clothes with her second sister, but she was unable to do so. She just lay down and fell asleep every day.

The eldest sister is different. She is young and strong. Let her stay in the workshop for a while. Then find Li Huaide and transfer her to a less busy position. It is better than doing odd jobs outside.

It's just that the eldest sister's carefree personality is exactly the opposite of the second sister. I have to think carefully and figure out a suitable position.

In this way, the eldest and second sisters go to work, and the fourth sister goes to school, then he can retire and lie down happily.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinwang smiled unconsciously. After laughing twice, he felt something was wrong and looked back.

The little girl looked at him worriedly from behind, with her two little hands open. Just like in the previous few days, she was afraid that he would faint and wanted to support him.

The little girl was holding a White Rabbit milk candy in her little hand, probably preparing to feed the candy to her brother. She found that her brother had an attack again. He was silent and suddenly started to giggle. The little girl was scared.

Zhang Xingwang stroked his forehead speechlessly and said softly to the little girl:

"Little sister, are you going to give your brother candy?"

"Um, brother, are you okay?"

"Brother is fine, I just thought of something happy."

After a long time of comforting her, he finally convinced the little girl that she was not sick and was just thinking about something. After promising her a popsicle, the little girl finally accepted his reason for being in a daze.

Just as he finished speaking, he smelled a burning smell. He went out to see that his elder sister was frying fish. Zhang Xingwang was so scared that he quickly took the little girl to buy popsicles.

People these days are not picky eaters. Every time he sees his family members eating with gusto, Zhang Xingwang even wonders if there is something wrong with his sense of taste.

After buying popsicles, I went into the yard. I asked the little girl to tell my elder sister that I would not be home for dinner today, and then let the little girl go home by herself.

I took out two pounds of lamb chops and a bag of snacks from the space, and brought a bottle of Fenjiu. I knocked on the door of the third uncle's house. I was going to wait for my mother Wang Xiulan to cook the remaining lamb chops and mutton offal, and let my eldest sister cook it. I was afraid it would be too late.

I admire Uncle San in my heart. He is always the first one to get home after get off work. In order to be the door god, he never misses any opportunity to take advantage of others. I am afraid that he has pedaled his bicycle so hard that smoke comes out.

If he doesn't come this time, I guess the third uncle will be angry. After all, it was the third uncle who ran errands and arranged for the fourth sister to go to school.

And you have to be on good terms with at least one of the three uncles in the yard, after all, that person has some say in the yard.

At least when there is a meeting in the courtyard, he can speak for you.

It's not like later times, where there are tall buildings and no one knows each other. This is a large compound, and basic social etiquette must be followed.

Otherwise, if you ask someone else to do it, what will Uncle Third think if he finds out? Given Uncle Third's nature of remembering a good thing for two days and holding a grudge for a year, it will be even more troublesome if he plots against you behind your back.

Besides, the other party would be faster than me in getting my fourth sister into school. Why bother looking for a school or street in the distance?
