Chapter 437: Chapter 0437: In the End, We Must Part1_1

As a result, Lu Jiang’s influence wasn’t far-reaching enough. He managed to invite his uncles and Uncle Chen Dazhuang, but he just couldn’t get any of his aunties-in-law and his aunts to come.

"It must be because you look too fierce. We need Xibao to do this job." Feng Qingxue pushed him aside, taking Xibao along to do the inviting. But not a single person agreed, each coming up with a different excuse to reject the invite. Feng Qingxue knew that her sisters-in-law wanted to save food for their families. Overwhelmed with an array of emotions, she had no choice but to let it go.

Even without pork head and chitterlings, there was still other types of meat in the house.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, as a couple, prepared five dishes and a soup, with both meat and vegetables. The elders sat indoors enjoying their drinks, while Feng Qingxue had a meal in the kitchen with several children. She even steamed an entire pot of cured-meat rice for everyone.

The rice was topped with thick slices of cured meat. When heated, the fat from the cured meat melted and soaked into the rice, making each grain shimmer with oil.

The children enjoyed it so much that they couldn’t put down their bowls, their mouths greased with oil.

"Aunty, let’s have cured-meat rice instead of stir-fried cured meat in the future! It tastes sooooo good!" The moment the rice enters the mouth, it fills with the aroma of meat. The oily texture is unforgettable.

Feng Qingxue tapped Lu Tianzhi on the forehead, "We can only do that if we have cured meat."

"Is the cured meat all gone? Even the one that Uncle Fu from the Southwest sent us?" Lu Tianzhi’s face dropped instantly, "No worries, we will make it once we have more! Our living standard is already better than everyone else’s now."

His elder brother told him before, one must learn to be contented as happiness often sprouts from contentment.

Song Gang innocently said, "I love it when people come to our house for meals!" as it means there are delicious food to eat.

They only get to eat meat once every few days, but now that Uncle Lu is home, they often have meat. Especially when guests visit, they always get their share of the mouth-watering meat.

"Are you dumb?" Feng Qingyun poked his forehead, "The meat we have can be saved and consumed slowly. If we have it once every few days, we will always have meat. You shouldn’t only think about the present. Our guests, being tall and sturdy, have big appetites. They eat a lot of meat, and even though we get to eat once, the rest of the meat will be gone."

"Huh?" Song Gang’s blank expression caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"If they eat all of our future meat, what should we do then?" He became anxious, his face flush red.

Feng Qingxue smiled, "It’s okay. Your parents often send coupons and money. The next time they send any coupons, I will go to the city to buy meat. This way, we can enjoy the benefits together by having more meat."

At this point, she glared at Feng Qingyun and continued sternly, "Listen carefully, all of you. There is a proper way to treat guests. We can’t neglect the friends and family who visit us just because they might eat the future meat. We are living this life now thanks to the help from our friends and family. We should always remember this, and should never forget it. Especially you, Xiaoyun. No one has ever wronged you, and you can be frugal. It pleases me that you’ve always kept our family matters private, but you should not play clever tricks and teach bad habits to Gangzi. You shouldn’t become too stingy. Your mindset determines your view of life, always think long-term."

Feng Qingyun’s face turned red, "Sister, I understand now, I will not joke around with Gangzi anymore. Rest assured, I remember the help we received." She simply didn’t realize that Song Gang was too young to distinguish between jokes and reality, easily taking her words seriously.
