Chapter 361: Chapter 362: Can’t Eat Back the Capital

Only Li Chunhua was very dissatisfied, grumbling, "Why does Jinbao only get one dumpling?"

Those nuisances having a chance to indulge in such refined food as dumplings?! The extras should all be given to the grandchildren!

And why, out of all the grandkids, was only her Jinbao given a single dumpling? Her mother-in-law was being most unfair!

Zhou Zhaodi could clearly see through her scheming, so she said bluntly, "Jinbao has such a small tummy. He would be full from consuming just one dumpling, there’s no way he would be able to stomach a second one!"

Even if more dumplings are allocated, in the end, they will be consumed by her. She only uses Jinbao as a pretext.

Li Chunhua also knew that Jinbao had a small appetite and could not eat much, but she was genuinely dissatisfied that the second son’s share exceeded theirs by one dumpling!

Seeing her mother-in-law remained silent, she could only reluctantly swallow her complaint.

During the dumplings feast, the women could not bear to devour their share in one go.

They would first bite off the tip. When the filling made its appearance, it turned out to be pork and cabbage; and it was rich in fat too.

Then they would bite off the other tip, finished the wrap and finally swallowed the filling in one gulp; so delicious one could almost chew off their own tongue.

Their mouths were glossy with oil after eating, and it left them longing for more.

If it weren’t for the Gu Family sending these dumplings over, they would only be able to partake in such a delicacy on special occasions.

After Zhou Zhaodi finished her meal, she smacked her lips twice, and began thinking about tomorrow’s lunch. Her face was full of anticipation. "There will definitely be several main dishes for the Gu Family’s banquet tomorrow!"

If it were not for the lack of energy at work caused by skipping breakfast, she would want to keep her stomach empty from morning just to savor the desirable food.

Hearing this, others too started having expectations. After all, the Gu Family was so rich that they occasionally dined in state-owned restaurants, enjoying meat and vegetable dishes. They would surely spare no expense when inviting guests over!

A tsunami of emotions surged through Liu Lanzhi. Before getting married, she always thought her family’s conditions were better than her husband’s. She was all prepared to live a harder life.

Who would have expected not only would she get to eat meat every now and then, but she also has the opportunity to partake in feasts from wealthy households!

After falling pregnant, she has been able to replenish her nutritional intake with a bowl of sugar water chicken eggs every few days. Even her sister-in-law in her native family would have envied her present lifestyle.

Strangely, Li Chunhua was indifferent. Her mother-in-law had prepared a basket full of eggs, a large piece of cured meat, and a bag of dried mushrooms as gifts!

Her family would merely go for a midday meal and surely wouldn’t eat their money’s worth. They would undoubtedly make a loss!

When she returned home, she would definitely remind her husband and son to eat as much as possible the next day until they were so stuffed that they wouldn’t be able to stand up straight!

After all, they are the ones giving out gifts; their feasting is justified and aboveboard!

Ma Xiulian, on the other hand, was secretly glad that they had a ginseng to give as a gift. Otherwise, she would have felt too guilty to eat these dumplings, let alone take her whole family to enjoy the extravagant meal tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhou Zhaodi suddenly suggested, "Mom, I think we should all wear our best clothes tomorrow when we meet our relatives from the Capital. After all, we can’t let ourselves look sloppy."

They couldn’t afford to dress too shabbily, as it could possibly lead to the future in-laws looking down on their Guibao.

"Second daughter-in-law is right."

Ma Xiulian nodded in agreement. This daughter-in-law could be really clever at times, even though she has a bit of a food obsession.

"We should dress decently when visiting. We’ll go work in the morning and come back at noon to change into clean clothes before we leave."

No one objected. Working in nice clothes would only result in them getting messy, surely stained with dirt.

And it would also restrict them, making it hard to work.

Thinking a little more, Ma Xiulian added, "After changing into nice clothes, we should head directly to the village entrance, saving us from the collective’s probing eyes."
