Chapter 391 A Warm Scene
I originally wanted to stir-fry some shredded pork, but after seeing this, I realized there’s no point in bothering.
After the stewed meat is taken out of the pot, grandma blanchs the ribs and braises them alone without adding any side dishes.
Anjiu took a few other side dishes back to the house to fry them, otherwise she would have to wait a long time.
Use two ovens to fry, and the speed will be doubled.
The fragrance becomes stronger and stronger.
After the last dish was served, she and her grandmother could finally have their New Year's lunch.
In order to prepare for this meal, the two of them skipped breakfast.
Anjiu took out the drinks and beer that had been warmed up long ago and filled up the glasses for himself and his grandmother.
At this time, grandma stood outside the door and waved to her, "Don't rush to eat, come here."
Anjiu followed him back to the opposite side and found several large bowls filled with vegetables and meat on the table.
There was still more than half of the meat in the pot, and there were several basins full of meat next to it.
Grandma picked up one of the bowls and handed it to her. "Captain Pu should be at home. You can send it to him. If he doesn't say he wants to come over for dinner, don't ask. He has been busy day and night recently and probably hasn't slept well. Let him have a good rest at home."
Anjiu: “Oh.”
Grandma continued, "Don't wait too long, just deliver it to them, and then give a bowl to A-Ling, and for the rest... I think it would be a shame if I can't finish it and disappear tomorrow.
"How about sending some to my old sisters? They helped me look after you when I was working. We've been living well these days, and they've never come over..."
An Jiu: "It's all right, grandma, you decide. I have no objection."
Grandma smiled happily, "Go quickly, and come home for dinner after you're done!"
Anjiu said "hmm", walked out with the bowl in his hand and knocked on the door opposite. A moment later, Pu Huai appeared behind him with sleepy eyes.
"what happened?"
Anjiu held the bowl forward and said, "It's New Year's Day today, and grandma asked me to bring you some food."
Pu Huai looked down at the bowl full of meat, and his expression suddenly became much clearer. He took it and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You paid for the food."
Pu Huai raised his eyebrows, as if to say that it was worth it.
After delivering it to him, Anjiu went back and brought another bowl to outside A Ling's house.
There was a commotion inside when they heard the knock on the door. After A Ling calmed the two children, she asked cautiously, "Who's outside?"
"It's me, Xiaojiu."
The two children immediately shouted: "Auntie is here!"
A Ling quickly opened the door, and seeing that it was really her, she moved aside and asked her to come in and sit down.
Although Anjiu came to deliver the meal, he couldn't just stand at the door without going in. Even if he went in and sat for a while, it would be more polite.
A Ling's house was very simple. Apart from the things she brought with her when she rented the house, there was no extra furniture. The bed was covered with an old mattress, which was almost the same style as the one used in An Restaurant before, and it was dirty and poor.
But they had a thick quilt.
There is no stove in the room and the temperature is very low. The mother and her two daughters should stay in bed to keep warm and not get out of bed unless necessary.
The bowl that Anjiu was holding was steaming, and she was afraid that the food would get cold soon, so she explained her purpose and handed the bowl over - there was no table at home.
A Ling exclaimed and refused to take it no matter what.
"You're welcome. Take it and eat it. Grandma made a lot. I'll put the bowl here. I'll go back to eat first. The food will get cold later."
There was no need for her to bring him the wine, so he just closed the door.
At this time, the sound of grandma and old sisters crying and hugging each other came from the corridor.
"Your family is just getting better off, why are you sending me this meat? Keep it for yourself, I have some."
"What do you have? If you hadn't helped me before, how could Xiaojiu and I be where we are today? I've kept it all in mind! Today is the New Year, so just accept it!"
"Why bring up the past? It's not easy for you to take care of your granddaughter. Maybe if I give you a hand, you can get through it. I don't ask for anything in return."
"But I have to remember! Sister, don't say anything, things will get better and better in the future."
"Alas...you usually give me leftover broth, and now you gave me such a big bowl of meat. I feel so..."
"Why are you crying... I can still watch you starve... If we help each other, maybe we can get through this hard time smoothly..."
Anjiu returned home and looked at the table full of food, feeling very unhappy.
Who on the 48th floor is not trying to survive? Every time the recruitment site is crowded with people, even if there is no contribution value, just a meal, you have to work hard to sign up.
But even so, they can't live a decent life and even having enough food and clothing is a problem.
If she didn't have an external space that allowed her to risk her life to bring food back from the other world, she would have been like everyone else, working hard every day for food and drink, and turned into a mechanical and numb walking corpse.
It wasn't easy for her to get to where she is now, and she doesn't want to go back to the past.
Anjiu suddenly stood up, went to the opposite side and filled a lunch box with meat and vegetables, trotted along the corridor, found administrator Yang Xuezhen who was sitting alone in the office, and explained his purpose.
Yang Xuezhen was stunned at first, then smiled: "It's amazing that you still care about me. Okay, leave it there, I'll take it."
Anjiu left quietly.
After returning home, grandma was washing her face. Her eyes were red and swollen. When she saw Anjiu looking at her, she smiled with her lips pursed in embarrassment.
"My elder sister was crying so hard that I couldn't help myself and cried a few drops with her..."
This isn't just a matter of two tears, is it?
An Jiu didn't show it on his face, and nodded calmly, "Let's eat quickly, my stomach hurts because of hunger."
After a busy period, the two finally sat around the table to eat.
There was a roaring fire next to them, emitting warm light, and the room was so warm that only a thin sweater was needed.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, accompanied by drinks and beer, and with snowflakes falling outside the window, Anjiu and his grandmother talked about interesting things in the past while eating.
The room is filled with a strong sense of family affection.
Although 1009 couldn't get a word in, he could still feel a warmth in his heart just by listening to the two of them chatting.
This kind of warm scene is what he has always dreamed of.
If only... he could participate in it in the future.
Every household in Dinglu also felt the joy of the Chinese New Year this year.
The bowl that Grandma An brought was not small. Except for a layer of rice at the bottom, the rest was all meat. There were no bones, and it was stewed until it was very mushy. Even if you have bad teeth, the meat will come down with a touch of your tongue.
When they put it in their mouths and the rich taste spread in their mouths, their eyes lit up instantly, bursting with surprise and satisfaction, and they couldn't wait to swallow the meat into their stomachs.
It seemed that at this moment, all the sufferings had gone away from them, and from today on, they would begin to have good luck.
The next day, when grandma got up early, she found that the front door had been swept clean and there were washed dishes piled at the door.
When the older sisters heard her open the door, they poked their heads out from behind the door and greeted her warmly, "Dianguoyang, why are you getting up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer~"
"..." Grandma said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to cook for Xiaojiu!"
She was actually thinking about going to see the meat from last night. Was it really gone?
As it turns out, it’s really gone.
There was only a basin left, not even a bone could be found.
Grandma was heartbroken.
