Su Yan did not go up the mountain for the next few days. She would rather be envied for always getting something good every time she went up the mountain. Besides, the bacon, rabbit and black fungus she brought back before could last for several meals.

Zhu's mother couldn't bear to eat the bacon and wanted to save it for the New Year.

Su Yan advised directly: "Mom, my brother will send me more. You still have several months to go before the Chinese New Year. Don't let the bacon end up being wasted. Besides, it will spoil easily if left for too long, and the taste will be bad."

Mother Zhu: "I think about eating all day long. I finish it all in a flash. Then I'll just drool over the food others eat. Besides, it will be the busy farming season in two months. I can give everyone some nourishment then."

Su Yan: "Mom, don't be so petty. My eldest brother sent it to me to replenish my body. I still have to feed my baby. If you don't want to eat it, then I will make it myself."

Zhu's mother: "Okay, okay, your eldest brother sent it to you, do whatever you want with it, I don't care."

Zhu's mother left angrily, and Su Yan was too lazy to care about her. People who had experienced hunger in this era advocated frugality.

It will take time to change their frugal ideas.

Su Yan did his own thing and steamed three slices per person on the rice that day.

The fat from the steamed bacon soaked into the rice, and the aroma of the meat filled the entire kitchen.

The rice contains not only bacon, but also peas, potatoes and carrots.

These dishes plus bacon are the most common copper pot potato rice in modern times.

It’s just that Su Yan’s bacon is steamed on the top to make it easier to distribute it equally to everyone.

When the Zhu family came back and smelled the aroma of bacon, they were originally just a little hungry, but instantly became starving, as if they could not wait any longer.

Su Yan was tasked with distributing rice today. She first put three pieces of bacon into the bowl, and then scooped rice mixed with potatoes, peas and carrots into the bowl.

The people of the Zhu family stared at her distributing the rice, and the three girls kept swallowing their saliva, being very tempted by the aroma of the rice and meat.

Zhu Xile couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, what kind of meal is this and why do you do this?"

Su Yan: "This is what I saw in a cookbook. It's a delicacy from Guizhou, copper pot potato rice. The ingredients in the rice don't have to be all these. It depends on personal preference. You can use bacon, ham, or sausage. If conditions permit, you can put all of these in and mix them with the rice. It's delicious even without any side dishes."

Mother Zhu muttered, "There are more side dishes. There are enough side dishes in this meal."

Su Yan ignored her and continued to share the food.

Those who got the food immediately started to wolf it down, feeling very satisfied after eating.

I couldn’t bear to eat the bacon at the bottom of the bowl and had to save it for last.

Everyone counted silently in their hearts. Everyone got three slices of bacon, even the children, without favoritism.

Zhu Bin ate the food Su Yan handed to him and felt extremely satisfied.

Su Yan’s recent changes made him feel unreal.

He dreamed of such a warm and peaceful life.

I made stewed rice today, and there were only two cold dishes to go with it, one was cold lotus root slices and the other was cold cucumber.

These two cold dishes go well with rice, and besides, there is sauerkraut, which is a must for every meal. The whole family is very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, without Su Yan saying anything, Yang Dan asked the two older children to clean up and wash the dishes.

If it were in other families, it would be difficult for a girl like Daya to get a piece of meat, let alone the fact that three members of her family all got meat, and the amount was the same as that of the adults.

Only a rich girl like my sister-in-law, who has grown up in a big city, has no idea and doesn't care about these things.

If it were another sister-in-law, a rural girl, I'm afraid her daughter would only be able to watch the adults eat meat today, and it would be considered generous of the other party if she could get a piece.

Yang Dan had complaints about Su Yan before. Why did she have to do so much work while Su Yan could push everything to her eldest brother?

However, seeing her attitude towards her family these days, and seeing that she is never stingy in sharing her food with everyone when she has the means, it is clear that she is a generous and uncalculating person.

She has a good heart, but she just can't change her spoiled braggadocio temper for the time being.

She acted so unruly before, probably because she felt insecure after marrying into the Zhu family.

There's no news from your mother's family, so you must be worried.

Su Yan didn't explain anything, and Yang Dan automatically rationalized her behavior.

Su Yan divided the two pieces of bacon into four portions and cooked them into four stewed meals.

In addition, there was egg custard for lunch every day. In just half a month, the Zhu family's children had gained weight on their faces and looked much cuter than before.

The same goes for Xiaobao. She was so hungry before that she was skin and bones, and looked a month younger than Liu Guixiang's son next door. After half a month of feeding, her face has baby fat, and she looks so cute and adorable, so chubby that people can't help but want to kiss her face.

Before, Zhu's mother was dissatisfied with Su Yan for not knowing how to be frugal. He would eat as much as he could every day without considering the future.

But when I saw how she fed the baby and how cute he became, I swallowed my complaints.

Don't worry about her. Just raise the child well and stop acting like a spoiled child. Just let her do what she wants. These things belong to her anyway, so she can eat them however she likes.

What's more, in the past half month, the sisters-in-law next door often smelled the aroma of meat coming from their house, and their envious and jealous expressions made Yang Dan feel very proud.

That day, several people gathered in the yard to chat again. Kang Qing couldn't help asking, "Your family often smells the aroma of meat recently. What's the matter? How many good things did Su Yan's brother from her mother's family send her?"

Yang Dan: "We have almost finished eating, there are only two pieces of bacon."

Xue Ming: "I don't think so. Su Yan brought a big bag of things back last time, and Fourth Aunt said it was rags she asked us to buy. We didn't see how heavy the bag was."

Liu Guixiang: "That's right. We don't want yours. Tell us the truth."

Yang Dan: "It's really just two pieces of bacon, the rest is just rags, at most my sister-in-law bought a few dozen eggs for nourishment. You've seen that Xiaobao has gained a lot of weight recently because of her feeding."

Kang Qing: "What about the money? How much did her brother send her?"

Yang Dan: "How would I know? She won't tell me the truth."

Liu Guixiang: "I think she is very generous. The girls have gained some weight. Su Yan's eldest brother must have sent a lot of money."

Xue Ming: "Oh, I'm so envious. It would be great if I had a good brother like him. Unfortunately, I only have a lazy brother. It's good enough that he doesn't let me support him."

Kang Qing: "That's right. My mother asked me to send her some food. We didn't have enough to eat, so how could we have extra food to send back? She even complained that I was just wasting my money and didn't care about my parents at all. I really do. Sometimes I feel heartbroken when I think about it. Before I got married, I did the most work. All the betrothal gifts were given to my parents. She only gave me a quilt as a dowry. Over the years, she always asked me to help my brothers and sisters. When have they ever helped me?"

Kang Qing started complaining, and the other two followed suit, saying that their parents' families were biased and not only did they not give them any help, but they also wanted to suck their blood.

Several people envied Su Yan for having such a brother from her natal family. Although she married far away, her brother still thought about her and sent her things and money.

However, since their parents' homes are close by, they are only asked to subsidize their parents' homes. If they do not, they will be threatened with not supporting them in the future at any time.

Sometimes, I am really afraid of comparison, because comparison brings harm.
